Jurassic Predator

Tropic Thunder eat ya heart out! A cult classic. Fun parody of all classic dino movies

Low budget cheapie with probably the most idiotic soldiers ive ever seen. some of their decisions made me want to tear my hair out. but on the plus side the situations which came out of their stupidity did give me some proper laughs. you can tell it was played for the jokes and if you check your brain in at the door it can be a fun film. I actually think the weakest parts of the film are where its trying to be serious, the comedy scenes and acting are far more entertaining. just don't expect any of the characters to do anything sensible!

This homemade film is a parody of movies, and a disrespect to dead dinosaurs. The write up explains what the movie can't show and promises what it can't give. Even the film's start is a write up. The name is taken from another, real movie, also called Predator X. Why not call it Rubberhead Rex?

A guy working at a multi-story housing estate or some ordinary building where they haven't even bothered to put up a sign, with absolutely no equipment, just empty rooms, makes the upper third of a dribbling rubber dinosaur, plus part of the back. It escapes its flimsy single chain, leaving lots of static intestines and limbs behind, and grows off screen somehow, apparently. All this insanity puts Asylum at studio level, relatively, who at least use whole dinosaurs.

But the worst is yet to go. If there is a T rex head on the loose, with no legs or arms or tail, well no body, why call on the Army and Air Force? Ex-crims are badder and better than soldiers. This crack-smoking team of soldiers is The Halfwit Half-Dozen or Stupid Six (I can't recall), The Fooling Five (I didn't count), or The Insignificant Seven (I didn't care). So, picking on stupid mistakes The Cocky Cockneys make after is even more stupid.

This film is a threat, not a fact. What a complete cockup, cocker.

The film does highlight a current disturbing trend that any quality is acceptable: A filmmaker who doesn't bother to learn his craft and clone a real dinosaur while staying within the limits he must can only make prolific failures. How this amateur shocker is released on DVD is even more disturbing.

Guide: No swearing sex, or nudity. Oh, but gore galore is heaped on after no fact.

The acting is high school quality though the story line, script, special effects (nothing special really ) and terrible sound quality hamper the acting - one can't help feeling sorry for the cast. Consigned to a charity donation bag .That's 80 minutes I won't get back in my life!

Andrew Jones did it again with another great film. Jurassic Predator is a low budget fun ride and thoroughly entertaining film. good story, nice special effects and good acting for most part. Been a fan of Andrew Jones for quite some time, especially of Cabin 28 and the Robert series. Jurassic Predator is more comical and moves away from the horror genre and into action/ comedy terrain. Always glad to see Nathan Head, albeit he only had a minor part in this one despite being advertised as one of the leads. Hope to see him in bigger roles again in future North Bank productions. The film is not without it's flaws, it drags a bit in places and jokes are hit or miss. what's up with the geezer in the painted face and why is he wearing that ridiculous bandanna? it's like make up your mind, are you camouflaging or what? Also could have done without the songs. Recommended.
