Carnosaur 1993



A chicken hatches a dinosaur that goes around eating people. End of story.

Well, not really. But there are so many sub-plots and other stuff going on here that it would take me longer to write about than it did to watch the flick.

So here's the hi-lites and things to watch for.

America's top genetic scientist -- yes, she's mad -- works at a poultry plant. She has developed chickens that lay dinosaur eggs. She has also developed humans that lay dinosaur eggs. Her theory is that if humans became extinct and only dinosaurs inhabitted the Earth it would be a much better place. P.S. Don't let her introduce you to her pet dino.

A super secret government agency that is investigating why the scientist is working for a chicken factory instead of creating funky killer biological weapons for them. They have a branch office that has guys running around in bio-hazzard suits shooting citizens, snapping a polaroid and then putting a flame thrower to them. These are not nice people. But then again, when's the last time you saw a nice government agency in one of these flicks.

There's a construction site where nobody ever seems to be working except the watchman. But all he ever does is slam dunk numerous bottles of booze. He's usually passed out when anything happens. He falls in love with a hippie and damn near becomes our hero until the bio-hazzard suited guys get hold of him.

We have a bunch of freaked out hippies that are trying to stop the construction crew from doing whatever it is that they never seem to be doing. They make excellent hors d'ors for the dinos. Especially when they handcuff themselves to the bulldozers. Watch for the spaced out hippie's last words, "Greetings, green brother."

Check out the senator who's having a major pig out on a delicous pie. He barfs his guts out when he finds out that the blueberries are coated with goat embryos.

Let's not forget the dumb sheriff who shoots a dinosaur then walks over to see if it's dead. He promptly loses the family jewels.

This one's always compared to Jurassic Park which is a shame since it's not at all similar. It may not be anywhere near as good, but it has it's moments and it is a lot of fun.
