Battle Royale: Movie Vs TV Dinosaurs

A prehistoric punch-up for the ages...

Rex - Toy Story (1995)


Rex is pretty much the most cowardly dinosaur in cinema history.

So insecure that he’s moved to quote Back To The Future at the thought of Andy buying another dinosaur (“I don't think I can take that kind of rejection!”) it’d take a pretty big dino-wimp to lose to Rex.

Dino - The Flintsones (1960)


Dino is a prehistoric pooch so eager to please that Fred Flintstone has to chuck him out every night, just to get a bit of peace.

But when Fred decides to lock Dino in the toy room instead of sticking him on the front step, all hell breaks loose.

Thinking that his greatest fear has been realised and Andy has indeed bought a new, extremely complex, dino-toy to replace him, Rex finds his courage and decides to tear the stuffing out of it.

He hooks his teeth into Dino’s tummy and tugs hard, realising too late (when he’s covered in slippery Snorkasaurus innards) that his new friend isn’t a toy at all.

Depressed as a result of his murderous actions, Rex hangs himself with Woody’s lasso. He’s still declared the winner of the fight, though.

      So Movie Dinos always win... What about Primeval, or are they not dinosaurs (never watched it) or something?

      in the 1950s godzilla, he is just woken up by the bikini atol bombings...the bomb in real life poisoned the sea and fish (and killed 4 fisherman) so that's why godzilla glows and s**t. that's also why not everyone wants to kill him...he survived the atomic blast, some characters in the film want to know why. ishiro honda, he made a story about a dude in a rubber suit amazing, shame on you for using the american version (where the bomb-blame is placed on france and not the usa).
