GORE CUT Is immensely fun.

I've never seen the original cut of this movie, but I can tell you right now that the gore cut of this film is one the best experiences I've ever had showing my friends a vinegar syndrome release.

This movie is completely bat crazy, and I really wish there were more films like it. From the crazy German doctor, to the jealous ex this movie just delivers on so much, and it never takes itself too seriously.

Now, if you want a serious flick this is obviously not the right choice, but if you're going into a movie called "Tammy and the T-Rex" expecting high art, you my friend have already made a mistake.

Enjoy the film for what it is.

cheesy....

I came across this CHEESY flick while watching USA up all night one sat eve and had to laugh...ok the plot was lame and the acting was by no stretch of the imagination amazing, but for late nite laughs how can you go wrong? Plus i went to the same high school as Denise Richards and had no clue that this was a movie she was in until she came onscreen...so of course that made it watchable for me. However for any other joe smoe if you are looking for a little laugh and serious cheese this is the flick for you....

Very Bad and Very Funny

I saw the uncut version of this film at an independent theatre tonight, and let me just say: this film is as bad as Troll 2, and much more entertaining. The whole theatre was laughing throughout, and I am definitely planning on making my friends watch this. I cannot speak for the value of the cut version, as I have not seen it and cannot imagine how the film would function in that state. 10/10 for entertainment value, 0/10 for artistic value; don't watch this if you plan to take it at all seriously.

A goofy, fun guilty pleasure

Or is it Tanny and the T rex because that's utterly confusing. This movie is a mess but it's also a big guilty pleasure. From the director of Mannequin 2 and Mac and Me comes the tale of a young girl whose boyfriend is murdered and his brain is implanted in a t rex. This R rated cut is wonderfully goofy and gory and it's a perfect example of something so bad that it's good. It can be a little much at times but it mostly works. It also stars a very young Paul Walker and a career best Denise Richard's which is kinda scary, lol. All in all it's a fun, goofy mess that just works.

Pure B movie goodness.

Everyone says this movie is bad, of course it is... do you think the people were actually serious when they made it? NO! It is to be enjoyed as a B movie. It shows a T-rex make a phone call, then check the pay phone for change after he's done, then it shows him crying with tears pouring from his eyes. I assure you no one thought they were making a great cinematic moment, they were just being silly. If you can't appreciate this movie for what it is, then you shouldn't be reviewing B-movies. They weren't made for you.

Trivia
Writer/director Stewart Raffill said in an interview that the idea for this film only happened because they had access to a full size T-Rex animatronic. A guy came to him who owned theatres in South America and he said he had the T-Rex that was going to a park in Texas. The eyes worked. The arms moved. The head moved. He told Rafill he wanted to use it to make a movie. Rafill asked what the story was and the guy said there wasn't one yet, but they had to start filming within the month because he only had the T-Rex for two weeks. So Rafill wrote the story in a week and worked on the script as they filmed. He even said he was constantly asking the cast and crew if they have anything better they could add.

Goofs
Although Denise Richards' character is named Tammy in the film, the beginning and end credits list her as "Tanny". That is the name used in the original title, "Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex", as given in the uncut version released on 4K and Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome.

Quotes
Tammy: Is that really you in there? Oh Michael, what have they done to you!

Alternate versions
In 2017, a 35mm print of an alternate, pre-censorship cut of the film was discovered, under the title Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex. This version features the long-rumored scenes of gore and extreme violence that were sloppily edited from the film in order to attain a PG-13 rating. Scenes include various moments of excessive bloodshed and a graphic brain transplant, as well as a great deal more profanity. In total it runs six minutes longer than the cut that appeared on VHS in 1994. Vinegar Syndrome scanned and restored the film at 4K resolution, and gave it a limited theatrical re-release, and Blu-Ray/Ultra HD release in the fall of 2019.
