Battle Royale: Movie Vs TV Dinosaurs

A prehistoric punch-up for the ages...

Theodore Rex - Theodore Rex (1995)


Theodore Rex probably signalled the exact moment that Hollywood decided to give up on original ideas, turning to sequels and remakes instead.

And if original thought leads to a buddy cop partnership involving Whoopi Goldberg and a talking dinosaur in a vest, maybe remakes are for the best.

Human Traits Score: 10

Unexpectedly Straight-To-Video Factor: 10

Fashion Sense: 3

 

Denver - Denver The Last Dinosaur (1988)


Denver’s another dino with human traits, but instead of trying to eat criminals, he hangs around with kids and plays the electric guitar.

Theodore wears a vest, Denver wears Wayfarers. They’re both idiots.

In one of the shortest scraps in dino-fight history, Denver is playing air guitar when he bumps into Theodore.

Rex pulls out his piece and shoots Denver in the face. Maybe Theodore isn’t so bad after all.

Human Traits Score: 8

Unexpectedly Straight-To-Video Factor: 0

Fashion Sense: 10

 

Next: T-Rex Vs. T.Rex

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).
