Better than the first

Carnosaur 2 is the best entry in the series. If you ignore the rubbish dialog, this film might come across as decent for a (very) cheap horror flick. Compared to the original Carnosaur, this one is a masterpiece. The gore is less severe and obnoxious, The creatures are shot in a such a way that for most of the time they don't look too rubbery. Most importantly however is the fact that the plot is far more coherent than the original, Part of it has to do with copying almost directly from the well written screeenplay of Aliens. For a cheap budget, the set design is pretty good and gives the movie a dark, industrial feeling. The acting is stiff and unrealistic, but again, next to Carnosaur it is acceptable. I would not recommend this film to everybody, only to extreme horror fans.

Trivia
John Savage performed his own stunt of the continuous shot of his character falling down the several story-shaft. He later claimed in an interview that he was intoxicated for most of the filming and doubted he would have gone through with the stunt if he were fully sober.

Goofs
When the T-Rex chases Reed and Jesse into the elevator, as the doors start to close, the head of a crew member is visible at the bottom of the screen pushing the dolly on which the robot T-rex is mounted.

Quotes
Jesse Turner: Eat this, Barney.
[rams T-rex down 200 foot hole with the forklift]

Alternate versions
Available in two versions in Germany: The uncut "not under 18" rated version and a cut "not under 12" rated version which removes close to 90 seconds of gore bits.
