Battle Royale: Movie Vs TV Dinosaurs

A prehistoric punch-up for the ages...

Carnosaur  - Carnosaur (1993)


The psychotic title terror isn’t actually a Carnosaur at all, but a Deinonychus. Which is the sort of attention to detail we respect in dino-fights.

Whatever he is, he enjoys tearing faces from civilians. Oh, and his mum is a woman who was impregnated with a dinosaur egg. Don’t ask…

Earl Sinclair – Dinosaurs (1991)


Homer Simpson rip-off Earl Sinclair is a boorish, sexist idiot. Like Carnosaur, Earl is able to impregnate women with dinosaur eggs.

Unlike Carnosaur, those eggs lead to annoying children that are partially based on Lisa Simpson, Bart Simpson and Joe Pesci.

As for the fight, well, that’s a one-sided affair.

Earls bursts into his habitat bellowing his catchphrase: “Honey, I’m home!”

Unfortunately, he has returned to a scene of carnage.

The Carnosaur is hunched over Earl’s wife Fran, chewing slowly.

Earl looks around and sees his entire family slaughtered.

He will never again hear the catchphrase: “Kick the baby!” He’s secretly pleased about that.

Distracted by the partial good news, Earl doesn’t notice the Carnosaur cornering him.

“Clever boy,” Earl mutters, before the Carnosaur launches at his pendulous stomach.

      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).
