Jurassic Fight Club

OMG, this is the worst dinosaur documentary I have ever seen! This show should have never been produced because of many, many reasons. The dinosaurs are well beyond inaccurate even during the time the series was made: raptors being featherless, theropods having pronated wrists, every dinosaur being shrink-wrapped even when healthy, etc. Not only that, but some of their "dinosaurs" don't have anything like their real counterparts, for example, their depiction of "Pachyrhinosaurus" is shown with a nasal horn like other ceratopsid, when it didn't in real life, and their "Majungatholus" (which was actually Majungasaurus) is shown with highly-developed theropod arms and long hind legs, which is the complete opposite of the real animal. Not only that, but they depict every carnivore as bloodthirsty monsters killing everything and constantly roaring at the top of their lungs every two seconds, and herbivores as canon fodder (being helpless meatsacks) for the predators to eat, which is false in reality (imagine if elephants are predator fodder for foxes... yeah, I know. This is really dumb.) and seems to only appeal toxic awesomebro people and not actual paleontologists. Ceratosaurus, in particular, is also portrayed as a weakling and bullied every time Allosaurus shows up, and that makes me feel really bad for Ceratosaurus (even its design is inaccurate). Not only that, but nearly every carnivore makes really stupid decisions, for example, in Bloodiest Battle episode (a really cringy title), a group of Allosaurus makes a "smart" decision and try to hunt a fully grown healthy Camarasaurus instead of eating the carrion of Ceratosaurus and young Stegosaurus (or even finish off a weakened adult Stegosaurus), and guess what? They get killed by the massive sauropod, such a dumb idea only a completely insane and incompetent animal would do. And finally, this show literally lies to its audience, like stating that "T-Rex had an infectious bite" or "Dromaeosaurus used hand signals to communicate". Ugh, I believe that this is what led to the "Dinosaur Dark Era" of dino documentaries, with almost no good dinosaur documentary until Prehistoric Planet (the best dinosaur documentary of all time, with Walking with Dinosaurs being the second best in my opinion) on Apple TV premiered. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB, AND IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

I have been Fasinated with Dinosurs since i was a kid and this show peek my interest since i heard about it and its F***ING Awesome!!

10 out of 10

The budget for this appalling show seems to be higher than some, but all that effort was out into the wrong place. Instead of make Fight Club a factual and educational documentary, the creators turned it into some awesome bro epic dino blood brawl.

The many inaccuracies include (but are not limited to):

• The Dromaeosaurs (raptors) are portrayed as pack hunting and featherless. There is extensive fossil evidence that this is untrue.

• Tyrannosaurus is said to have a toxic bite like a Kamodo dragon, because it's teeth were serrated. However, many other carnivores have serrated teeth and no toxins. It is absurd speculation to believe T-Rex had toxins in its teeth like a Kamodo dragon (infact, it has been found that Kamodo dragons have VENOM, not just bacteria).

The portrayal of the animals is just dreadful. Dinosaurs/prehistoric animals were NOT bloodthirsty and didn't have some "endless thirst to kill". Many of the animals make absolutely rediculous decisions that they'd have to be rabid to do in real life.

Overall, this show should be a fictional show, not a documentary. The dinosaurs in JFC are just monsters, not animals like in reality.

Back in the mists of time there lived a type of television show that looks positively prehistoric to the modern audience. These shows represented animals as being like people. "Oh there goes Mr Beaver off to work at his dam, and here comes Mrs Beaver to make sure he hasn't forgotten his lunch."

This show is like those old dinosaurs. One dinosaur killing a female dinosaur is described as a "crime" and "domestic incident", for goodness sake! There's a lot of talk of crime scenes, murder and the like almost as though the producers would rather have been turning out a documentary about strangled hookers or something rather than dinosaurs.

You get a few scientists presenting their latest theories as solid fact whereas they are often conjecture or simply the most fashionable theory of the moment. There's plenty that isn't known about dinosaurs but the show doesn't give that impression at all. Everything is repeated again and again and I don't just mean in the way all shows do these days because of the advert breaks. No you'll have to hear the same information repeated over and over again as though they assume you are thick or they just didn't have enough material to fill the running time.

This is about as poor and tacky as the title suggests, but the CGI at least looks OK. Since this show has no real interest in dinosaurs beyond them being "cool at fighting" it's hardly a surprise that many of the dinosaurs featured have no association with the Jurassic period whatsoever. This could have been solved by calling it "dinosaur fight club" or something but they know most viewers will only care about seeing some fighting monsters. One final moan, if you are going to have an episode where the word Madagascar is said about once every two minutes it might be a good idea to check the host can actually pronounce it before filming starts because there's no place called Maddy Gas Car.

A sad show where what are often presented leading minds in their respective fields talk about wild hypothesis and theories rarely saying it could all be a "maybe", often boasting them with a "it's now believed" when it's not and pretending to understand everything from just a few clues (nearly everything is a "know" and not a "could be"). It's disgusting to see how they show no respect for science whatsoever, they don't even think about the fact that they are talking to people who don't have any kind of real knowledge about these subjects and could take everything they say as pure gold.

The CG isn't bad at all compared to other dinosaur shows (I refuse to describe them as documentaries) and the animations are kind of good too. In the end... since there is a huge lack of serious dinosaur shows and documentaries out there I forced myself to watch this as long as I could see decent CG reconstructions of dinosaurs. I also liked the few reliable informations they gave (even if I still have to double check them...).

If you want to watch this just please keep in mind that this isn't something to take too seriously... the science in it is forced and "Dinosaur George" should go study some more for the sake of the people that believe everything he says...

P.S. Why every time I watch an American show/documentary about these animals they only use superlatives to describe them? Everything must be the BIGGEST! STRONGEST! THE MOST EVIL! THE MOST FEROCIOUS! even when they are not...
