Seriously though – WTF even was this movie?
Written by: Michael Palmer
Directed by: Louis Morneau
Starring: John Savage, Cliff De Young, Don Stroud, Miguel A. Núñez Jr.
Also, a bunch of dinosaurs – including one that goes through a completely ignored species-transmutation at the end of the movie.
Did you watch Carnosaur? After watching it, did you find yourself thinking, “Boy, I really wish there was a version of this movie that somehow MAKES EVEN FUCKING LESS SENSE!” Well, wish no more, because Carnosaur 2, the sequel nobody ever asked for has got your back.
Any shred of storyline in the first one is no longer present. Honey Badger doesn’t give a fuck. In this installment, some scientists go to some sort of nuclear mine/science lab and find a bunch of very poorly cloned and very angry dinosaurs. The sets are inconsistently lit and of very inconsistent quality, which makes for a “fun” game (wtf-ing bits of the set).
This movie is a little bit like Deathstalker 2 (don’t worry, I’m going to get to that franchise eventually – they’re ridiculous) in that it reuses a weird amount of footage from the first film in its franchise (although definitely not as much). The entire Boss Battle is basically footage from the original film. This is worth a few words for a few reasons: first of all, the Carnosaurs in this film are basically raptors now for some reason, but since they re-used a bunch of footage from the first film, when the final fight goes down, the Bad Viral-Dino has grown several times his original size and is suddenly much chonkier (you may recall in part 1 they were more T-rexy).
Ok, I’m done with the basically unrelated gifs now.
This movie had, and utterly wasted Miguel A. Núñez Jr. It also had fairly decent makeup effects when it felt like it. Basically, they had a fair amount of cool stuff going for them, but they didn’t really utilize any of it in any meaningful way. Instead, the movie’s quality can be pretty much summed up in this one image:
This movie is fucking terrible, but to be honest, I still kind of love it. It’s fun. Stupid, stupid fun.
Just like the first one, good luck finding this streaming anywhere. I own it, so I didn’t have to worry about this, but…I don’t know, maybe you can find it online somewhere?
Oh my gosh, I watched this back in the day when my husband and I first started dating and there was nothing on TV, this movie was so bad and yet hilarious.
Yeah, it makes zero sense, but it’s so much fun!
