Dino Movie Beastiary « Thread Started on Feb 25, 2010, 7:20pm »
Thought it would be fun to start up a Dino-Movie list that included what dinosaurs and other animals of interest showed up in it and maybe anthing interesting that happened to it! I'll start with 2 of my favorites
THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT (original version)
Pleasiosaur - Killed after it attacked the U-Boat, subsequintly used for food by the sailors, another is seen during the volcano sequence
Mosasaur - Kills a German Soldier
Pterosaurs - one Kills Ahm the caveman, breifly scene flying around a coupld of other times
Diplodocus - Breifly scene through Binoculars
Allosaurus - 2 of them are shot and killed by the Sailors
Triceratops - fights and kills a ceratosaur
Ceratosaurus - is killed by a triceratops in bloody fashion another is spotted at the end of the movie during the volano sequence
Styracosaurus - 2 of them are shown at first just walking throught the jungle, one is shot by the guns on the u-boat/ another is breifly shown eating vegetation during a short montage, and another is shown during the volcano sequence
Unknown stegosaur - looks like a kentrosaurus, breifly shown in short montage
Unknown Therapod - looks like a T-Rex, breifly shown in short montage
ONE MILLION YEARS BC
Giant Iguanna Lizard - has a big Blue toung tries to eat Tumak, Tumak escapes by running into a cave. Another one is shown at the end falling into a crater
Giant Spider eating a giant bug - breifly shown as Tumak wanders through the wastes
Brontosaurus - Breifly shown as Tumak Wanders the wastes/ the bronto was originally going to have a bigger part in the movie but it was scrapped due to time/money constraints. Images of caveman fighting it are avaible, I would have loved to have seen this come to be
Archalon - Almost crushes Tumak under his flipper, Cavemen throw rocks and coral it back to the ocean
Allosaurus - Juvenile, attacks caveman village, kills 2 cavemen in attack, Tumak kills it with a giant stake
Triceratops - fights and kills a cerato
Ceratosaurus - Blown up to T-Rex proportions, is killed by Triceratops
Pteranodon - Grabs a cavewoman to feed to its nest of babies, is killed by an unkown pterasaur
Unknown Pterasaur - (looks like a big Rhamporhyincus) kills the pteranodon, eats the babies in the nest.
Thats it for now, be sure to add your own favorites to this list!

CARNOSAUR
DEINONYCHUS: as a cute little baby it crashes trhough the glass of a jeep were a couple of teenagers were petting each other, and breaks the romantic atmosphere eating the face of the chick and devouring the guts of the boy as he is still alive (and with a boner). --- Later, a little bit bigger (though not much more) breaks trhough another car glass and eats two more guys faces. Then he devours entirely a bunch of hippies who have chained themselves to some excavators in some kind of political protest, and all of them receive a cool amount of love from the Deino. --- At the end, the badassmuthafuka is shot several times with a shotgun by the sheriff of the town, but can impale the d**n johnwayne wannabe with it's ninja claw before diying.
T-REX: not as half as badass as the Deino. This Rex looks like mother Teresa of Calcutta besides the psycho deino. --- Still there's a cool fight with excavators that tear the Rex's entrails out. It's actually a very disgusting scene and viewers are totally on the side of the Rex.... He was REX, the CARNOSAUR, he won't cry, so I cried for him. (You should do it too.)
RANDOM BABIES: they are born from rotten nutsty chicken eggs and they are cute and disgusting at the same time. Later they are born from human mums with an explosion. One of them is born like a Hans Rudi Giger alien from the belly of the mother of Ellie Sattler, wich btw is a crazy pregnant dog and deserves even worse.

Book was great, though I skipped through the... how do I say this? Well, I skipped through "those" parts. A little gory, but I read the Illiad at age 8. Nice story, cool villain, but the main characters were a bit dumb sometimes. You want to... "do it" right at the moment a Tarbosaurus is rampaging around?

WOT NO JP? Well, why not fill it in?
Jurassic Park:
"Brachiosaurus" brancai - chews food in an impossible fashion; rears up and sings like a whale in an unlikely fashion; sneezes all over Ariana Richards; makes audience's draw drop by being the first photo-real organic being on film.
Parasaurolophus walkeri - is a bit blurry and in the background. Yes.
Triceratops horridus - is a bit sick. Has neatly pyramidal mammalian poop. Is an adorable Stan Winston Studios animatronic.
Tyrannosaurus rex - is the hero of the movie, out-acting every human on screen, with the possible exception of Jeff 'Must Go Faster' Goldblum. Destroys fences, destroys cars, destroys fellow dinosaurs - generally a lord of destruction. Also featuring sound effects so good they've been ripped off ever since.
Dilophosaurus implausablensis - very small. Appears innocuous enough at first, but soon sprouts fanciful frills and gobs evil fat man Nedry in the eye. A slapstick sequence in which a man is eaten alive by a weird reptile follows.
Gallimimus bullatus - is just like a flock of birds evading a predator. But, uh, they're flocking this way. A handy substitute for a chew toy.
Velociraptor popculturi - drops prosthetic arms on Laura Dern and ineptly stalks irritating kiddiwinks in a kitchen. Is finally eaten by Tyrannosaurus, and quite right too.

I was lazy. MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS Yes... I saw it... every badly-animated, badly-acted, badly-scripted moment. Megalodon - A gigantic shark that somehow manages to travel over 600mph in the air to grab a plane, its teeth are as big as the jaws of a REAL Megalodon's jaws, somehow randomly decides to eat a bridge for no reason- which happens to be a National Landmark. Giant Squid- no wait Octopus! Sorry - Able to regrow the SAME tentacle within a few seconds, then it gets bitten off by shark, then regrows. WTF? Idiots - Everywhere in this movie, from script-writers to actors to directors to characters.

I have often said I would watch/buy the movie for $2--is it worth that much? How much would you say the movie is worth as an amusing purchase?

Horridus has a sense of humor I see.
THE VALLEY OF GWANGI:
Allosaurus: stars in this movie, named Gwangi (and has a whole valley to himself), goes on several rampages randomly killing everything in its way (including an unfortunate scheming midget), fights a stop motion elephant and dies in a church for being an atheist.
Ornithomimus (or something similar): runs away from cowboys and gets eaten by Gwangi instead.
Styracosaurus: recycled Trike from One Million Years BC, making him rather fat and bulky. Has a fight with Gwangi and looses.
Cliche Pterosaur, featuring bits and pices from various species (most notably Pteranodon) as wel as sporting bat like wings.
Eohippus: not a dinosaur, but it is prehistoric enough to have survived in a valley filled with ferocious dinosaurs. Also provides some moderate comic relief.
Thank you. And now for the all-too-predictable and slighly mediocre sequel (as I haven't been drinking):
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Compsognathus triassicus (Burke et al 1997): a swarm of Brit-baiting chittering land piranhas. Re-appear later to peck Peter Stormare. TO DEATH.
Stegosaurus giganticus: outsized versions of everyone's favourite lumbering spiky oaf. Being celebrities of the saurian world there is only so much intruding photography from paparazzo paleaontologists that they will take before throwing a fit.
Parasaurolophus walkeri: no longer confined to the background on this occasion, it is seen struggling valiantly against the human oppressors before sadly being brought down (prompting an hilarious moment in which the camera cuts to each of the heroes' overly-earnest-looking faces and touching music swells). Also glimpsed as Tyranno-fodder.
Gallimimus bullatus: IS BACK BABY! Unfortunately no one cares or notices.
Mamenchisaurus constructus (maybe, there are a lot of species): an unusual choice for a moviestar sauropod. A motorbike drives through its legs, thus confirming that Spielberg does still have his action chops.
Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis: a plucky little guy, seen smashing in the door of a Mercedes 4x4. Cute.
Triceratops horridus: good old Triceratops is a lot more lively this time around, causing absolute chaos when unleashed in the hunters' camp. We also get a brief glimpse of a baby Triceratops Stan Winston had built for the first film, but was never used.
Tyrannosaurus rex: there's double the T. rex fun in this installment, as "mommy and daddy" do even more damage than the singular beast in the first film. The film even goes all Godzilla at the end as Stephen Spielberg throws caution and millions of dollars to the wind. Victims include Richard Schiff, Thomas Rosales Jr (that's right, I went on IMDB), David Koepp and a family dog, all of whom compete for the title of Best Comedy Death. 'Carter' wins by being the fist character in a JP movie to literally be stepped on.
Oh, there's also a baby T. rex who, while being an astonishing animatronic feat, is a bit annoying.
Velociraptor popculturi: actually hunts at night, meaning that those odd slit-shaped pupils suddenly make sense. Smarter than your av-er-age dinosaur once again, although they don't yet have their own language. Bring shame on themselves when one is impaled on a spike by irritating Malcolm-sprog Kelly (Vanessa Lee Chester).
Pteranodon sternbergi: "BREEEAAAHHH!" That is all. Look ma, no teeth!

Were off to a good start!
The Last Dinosaur
The Dinos in this movie are portrayed by actors wearing rubber suits ala "Godzilla style"
Unnamed Mammel - Big giant ass mammel just randomly charging, its misidentified as a "ceratopsian" but it is clearly a Unititherium* type beast
Giant Turtle - One of the scientists stands up onto a rock to take a picture of something, the "rock" starts to wobble, and surprise your standing on a turtle!
Pteranodon - giant black pteranodons flying lazily in th sky, one makes a swoop at the group of people while they camp
T-Rex - Giant Godzilla style blue-gray tyrannosaur. He Is pretty indestructable: It can have its head bashed in by boulders, be gored by a triceratops, AND stomp on helpless Asian scientists!
Triceratops - Is hibernating? underneath the dirt but pops up to engage in mortal combat with the T-Rex. While he does manage to stab the Rex with his horns, he is eventually killed. Also of note: is this guy has ketchup red blood!

The Bakker character was pretty idiot... He failed in a lot of dino examinations and claims, and dies in a very silly way too. Obviously the screenwritters and maybe Spielberg too were too much on the side of Horner...

LOST CONTINENT (1951):
Brontosaurus (I'm not calling them Apatosaurus because they are such stereotypes): stop motion animated and not very well done.
Triceratops: also stop motion animated and not very well done. Very jerky movements. Looks more like Agathaumas anyway, or maybe a very silly Styracosaurus.
Pterosaur: once again, cliches galore. And lousy stop motion.

KING KONG (1933)
GIGANTHOPITHECUS STEROIDICUS: The badassER of all EVER. Don't play with this hairy nuts, or he will kick your ass all over the skull island. He doesn't turnt ape-s-h-i-t, he WAS BORN ape-s-h-i-t. What he wants, he gets it: and he wants your chick. Though his love is practically impossible to consumate (and it's better not imagine him trying to) he is desperatedly obsessed with Fray and he represents all men drunk after THAT d**n chick that only see us as a d**n "friend" Even being rejected again and again (Fry just screams and screams and screams, I guess trying Kong to understand she is not into gigantic zoophilia) the holy Kong doesn't care about what women's feel and simply takes her home. On the way some other machist badasses tries to steal the hottie. None of them get there out alive...... but that d**n human main character...... Kong roars like a lion from the zoo, and knows awesome WWF techniques that could make Hulk Hogan look like Woody Allen. Before diying, he kick some plain pilots' asses more. He has an albino son, whose mother is... er.... well, we never really see Fray giving birth, but that could also have been a deleted scene... still, one wonders, wonders... how... in the name of god... could... OK.
TYRANNOSAURUS REX: a Rex with THREE fingers in her tiny hands. He is a retro-junk so he prefers the tripod position to walk and stand. Moves very hyper-actively, and instead of roaring hisses like a big lizard in a really scary and cool way. He has been lucky enough to live his life without finding Kong before. But today he wants to taste a hottie for lunch, he finds Fray in a tree and... A Primal Rage festival comes, ending with the Rex low jaw where it should not be. Birds will eat the poor beast.... Why do I feel sad each time I watch a dead T-Rex in a movie
STEGOSAURUS: He moves really quik too. Charges like a mad cow. You can kill it with a lot of bombs. Well, somebody tell me what can't you kill with a lot of bombs.
BRONTOSAURUS: He is sleeping underwater. So don't piss him. You won't like what you'll see. And for Willis O'brian's sake, DON'T CLIMB A TREE TO SCAPE FROM A SAUROPOD, you dumbass!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He prefers plants from the lake, but it's jaws are strong enough to make a sailor feel really really uncomfortable with a bite.
PLESIOSAURUS: It's a snake, moves like a snake, hisses like a snake, strangles like a snake, has snake fangs, but HAS FEET. Looks like the Tanaconda of the Kenner JP toys. Wants hottie for lunch. Kong lunches snake.
PTERANODON: Wants hottie for lunch. ... Those d**n mesozoic creatures never learn or what. Since it's skinny and thin winged, Kong grabs it and crumples it like a paper. Then uses it to play basketball.
GIANT IGUANA: Lives in the bug hole. Climbs ropes.
RANDOM UNUSED CREATURES: Among them brontotherium, styracosarus, giant spiders, and some other giant bugs from the permian. They all want hottie for lunch, guess what.
Re: Dino Movie Beastiary « Reply #18 on Feb 28, 2010, 7:25pm »
Foxilized, sorry for being such a d**n know-it-all, but a few corrections: The Plesiosaurus has flippers, not feet; the giant iguana is not an iguana because it only has two legs, it's something completely made-up; and the Stegosaurus wasn't killed by bombs (though I'm guessing he can be), he was gassed by them and then disposed of by shooting bullets at close range through his skull.
But yeah, 'hottie' is pretty popular on the Skull Island menu, though sailors are also a common snack.
