ironhorse_iv Everything about this movie seem like a stupid failure. It might as well, be extinct; because barely anybody has heard of this low-budget 1990s Science-Fiction comedy film. Directed by Stewart Raffill, this film tells the story of a murderer high student, Michael (Paul Walker) whom brain is implant in an animatronic Tyrannosaurus by an evil scientist, Dr. Wachenstein (Terry Kiser) for some odd reason that never truly explain. Now in control of the T-Rex, Michael must find a way to find his sweetheart, Tammy (Denise Richards) while, getting revenge on those who cause his death. Can Michael find a new body with his girlfriend, Tammy or will Michael be in beast mode forever? Watch the movie to find out if you want to! Without spoiling the movie, too much, I have to say, everything about the T-Rex is wrong. I really don't get, how he able to cry tears, eat people, and die. It doesn't make any lick of sense within the means of the story. After all, the dinosaur is just an animatronic control by his brain, not a real creature. I guess, the original script, ask for a real dinosaur killing people, but the special effects were so bad and not convincing enough, that at the last second, they rewrote the story to have a fake-looking creature, follow around Tammy. Still, I really don't get, why the filmmakers made a great deal of hiding the flaws of the T-Rex, if they going to admit, how crappy, it looks. I guess, the movie was trying to be tongue 'n' cheek with how cheesy, its special effects, are, but it comes across as jarring and confusing with its bad editing trying to cover those spots. There are tons of scenes that really, seem to end, very oddly! All those cuts, were very uncomfortable to watch in the PG-13 film version. There's an Italian R-rated version of this movie with a few deleted scenes, but the gore factor doesn't really help much, but it makes for a more finished film than the one, we got in America. The only thing, I can still, might help the film is maybe, some more eye-candy! After all, Denise Richards was attraction chick back in the 1990s. I really hoping to see more of her, in this film. I do have to say, watching Tammy's striptease toward the end was pretty sexy, even how stupid, it was to have Michael's Brain in a Jar sparking wildly as a substitute for an orgasm. Despite that, the movie isn't that great of a watch. Yes, the effects are laughable, but the majority of the force jokes are too offensive, dumb, or dark. Seeing moments like Tammy going to a morgue to find, dead people with huge d*cks to sleep with, is unsettling. Now that Paul Walker has tragically passed away, you will never be able to look again at the scene where the coffin of Tammy's boyfriend is opened, revealing his rotten and maggot-infested corpse. Still, I did, get a laugh of seeing Michael get mauled by lion. Call me, a sadist, but it's just way too bizarre, not to. The acting in this film is just mediocre. Nobody came out of this film, looking strong. Paul Walker's presence in the film is far too little and he wasn't really given much to shine. His look is god-awful. Paul Walker's dated ugly purple short midriff t-shirt, which he wore in the majority of his scenes is just not appealing. Like, I said, before Denise Richards at the time, was indeed, a great looker, but her acting chops, was below standards. Her mood swings, are really noticeable. Terry Kiser as the over the top 'Frankenstein' type scientist was just too hammy to take seriously. I would rather take his deadpan counterpart, Bernie from 1989's Weekend at Bernie, over this. The supporting cast didn't help. George Pilgrim as the side villain, Billy & Theo Forsett as Tammy's homosexual friend, Bryon was a little too much of a caricature than flesh out characters. If anything, Buck Flower as Sheriff Norville is the only one that seem, realistic. Overall: This Frankenstein meets Jurassic Park hybrid film is not really worth anybody time, watching. Not only does it handled adult themes in the wrong immature way, but most of the jokes fall flat. I really don't see, many people seeing this film. If they did, I bet you, that they wish a meteor would come down, put this film to sleep. It's that bad.

christopher_greenleaf I can not agree with the person who posted here saying that the film makers knew that they were making a bad film and that we should be in on the joke and enjoy it. This film should stand as the very definition of hack filmaking. This film is bizzare, disturbing, poorly acted, terribly directed and astonishingly un-funny. Watching Terry Kiser crack horribly lame one liners while murdering a comatose teenage boy is like viewing a Carol Burnett skit from hell. This film is fascinating in the same way a major automobile accident is. Denise Richards looks incredible as always but, her poor acting here and in the box office and critical disaster 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' are examples of why she has quickly fallen off the radar. On a positive note, I think the Dinosaur looked top notch and the special effects were very good.

Verbal-17 I've seen alot of cheesy, bizarre, inexplicable movie scenes, but I've never seen anything that tops the ending of this movie: Denise Richards doing a striptease for a disembodied brain in a salad bowl. The rest of the movie is inexplicably bad, but that one scene alone is worth the price of a rental. I'd suggest fast-forwarding through the rest of it. And by the way, I plan to hold my breath until Terry Kiser makes a comeback.

jackieO Boy dies. Boy's brain is implanted (?!) into animatronic dinosaur. Animatronic dinosaur w/ boy's brain seeks revenge. And that's not even the worst part-- Denise Richards is the lead.Oh God my eyes! It hurts, it hurts! And yet I cannot look away!
