Even if you like badfilms, this one is tough to sit through. Wooden acting, bad dialog, vague/stupid plot, and cheap effects. Sometimes, those can add up to a guilty pleasure. Not this one!Richard Boone, it has been said, is the best actor of the lot. I beg to differ. He might have been "good" at his previous roles; but here, he's son hungover that he can't even phone it in. You can tell looking at him that he's having a real hard time keeping his balance and navigating simple locations. He is clearly at the end of his rope, careerwise. And, really, what's up with those horrible, crooked sunglasses he wears? (I suspect they were his and he insisted on wearing them because he was miserably hungover!)Sooner or later, things move along, and they go dino hunting. But, don't get to woke up! Nah, go back to sleep, because nothing really happens. The dino suit is worse than some of the cheaper Japanese superhero tv shows of the 70s. Not even worth laughing at... yeah, that bad.By the end, if you make it, you'll probably want to rewind to some parts and try to figure out what just happened. However, it would be pointless. Ed Wood truly towers over this mush.

View MoreThis is one of the most important movies ever made-no no no don't get me wrong, its not an important movie because its good or even watchable, this movie is important because I need to make fun of it on a regular basis and virtually no one I know has seen this turd. Please see this movie and then be cool and get to know me so that we can make fun of this movie. Two directors are credited for this movie but they are both LIARS! You cant direct a movie like this, it directs you, you are all like " that dinosaur looks fake as hell, we should not put it in this movie" and The Last Dinosaur is all like " naw man, dinosaur stays". This movie was made in an age when actors didn't have to be attractive, so you could have a guy like Old Lumpy Turd, or who ever is the leading man in this movie, you'll know him when you see him he's got sunglasses and he looks like somebody's grandfather trying to get laid at a disco and also he hunts dinosaurs!
... View MoreStupidly beautiful. This movie epitomizes the 'so bad it's good' genre of films. The only two talents in it are Richard Boone and Joan van Ark, and only Boone is any good. It's kind of sad that the man who rose to fame as Paladin should wind up in this ugly pile of celluloid. While he turns in a fantastic performance, I couldn't help but feel that he so outclassed all his fellow actors in this piece that he shouldn't even have been there.The effects in this film are laughable, but fun. The idea of a dinosaur being buried in the wall of a cave and suddenly coming to life is B-movie gold. When the 'triceratops' gets killed, watch how it falls. It's clear that the stunt performer in the FRONT of the costume knows the timing best. He falls to the ground, well before the back half of the dinosaur follows suit.Speaking of 'suits', there is nothing good to say about the purple tyrannosaur, in this flick. It seems to have some kind of stealth technology, since Bunta (reputed to be the best tracker in the world) twice fails to notice it until it's within biting range of him. I don't know how all the prints are, but in the version I own, the Tyranno's roar contains Godzilla's trademark bellow.This is loads of fun, to watch, if you like bad movies. I love them, and especially bad monster movies, so I consider this the gem of my collection. If bad movies are your thing, definitely get this one.
... View MoreI'm not sure if these other people saw the movie - some apparently couldn't follow the "complicated plot". He's a billionaire who owns an oil company who ALSO happens to big game hunt - wow - that's really far fetched. Any way - his new "drilling machine" happens to break through a glacier and on the other side is a world seperated from our own time where dinosaurs and cavemen wander around. Nothing ground breaking about this but it certainly isn't ludicrous. Anyway the rest of the movie is about this T-Rex they find (which the billionaire, Boone, claimed was there) hunting them and them hunting it. Look - it's an old made for TV movie - of course the special effects look cheesy - they didn't have CG - they did the best they could and for a MFTVM they did a hell of a job for the time. This movie should be remade for the big screen - I'd love it and I'd be the first one in line. Seeing that Dinosaur with modern day special effects stalking those guys would be great!
