Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

An army captain is flying three misfit deserters home for a court martial when the plane has engine trouble and they must land on an uncharted island. There they find a primitive society of cave women who routinely sacrifice virgins to appease The Great One, the top dog dinosaur on the the island.What happens when you combined the two kings of the B-movie (Jim Wynorski and Fred Olen Ray) and have their project financed by Roger Corman? Apparently, you get a super campy dinosaur movie with an incredible T-Rex hand puppet, too much nudity, little plot, and some strange humor attached.I have to say I enjoyed the film. I gave it a 3, but really, it should be much higher if I was rating for entertainment value. I do wish the sexual aspects were toned down, but what can you expect (especially from Wynorski)?

When someone asks me to come up with a quick answer to: ``What's the worst movie you've ever seen?''; my answer is _Dinosaur Island_.This movie not only has terrible acting and a bad script, it also epitomizes one of my biggest film/TV pet peeves. i.e. when one character tells another character a word that is not in the latter's vocabulary, the latter repeats the word back to the former pronouncing the word differently (since the actor read it from the script differently).From this movie:``What are you doing?''``Chemistry.'' (pronounced properly)``What is this chem-is-try?'' (the `ch' pronounced like the word `cheat')
Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible-- that's all I gotta say.

I can't help but enjoy this movie. It's a jiggle-movie that manages to make fun of jiggle-movies. Whether or not this was intended is irrelevant. One can very plainly tell that the cast and crew are NOT taking themselves seriously on this project. The dinosaurs appear to be recycled from the Carnosaur movies, with no regard for achieving realism. The filmmakers have a great time using the oldest effects tricks in the book for this movie. Again, like a lot of movies, this one is the type that is best enjoyed by those who enjoy a good, BAD movie.

First of all, this is a Fred Olen Ray-Movie. His movies are so trashy, cheap and bad that they are really funny. This is one of his funniest. A few soldiers are landing on an island with bombshells. The only disturbing thing is a dinosaurus. Well, the happy-ending is really nice. A must for Trash-movie Freaks.
