Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: THE CARNOSAUR MOVIES

[@TheBrandonTenold]

And for anyone wondering, yes, the title cards WERE supposed to parallel the first 3 "Alien" movies, cuz' why not?

[@nilsnyman6767]

If you have to explain it....

[@DavidRoarty]

you should review Super Inframan(1975)(also know as Chinese Superman) in the near future

[@Planetfourtwelve]

[@MrDman21]

"Just a training exercise."

[@justinfiorenzio7112]

You should do a movie review on the Korean kaiju creature film , Yongary. It was remade in the 90s called Reptilian

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

To be fair, the Raptor used in both the 1984 novel & the 1993 film adaptation of *"CARNOSAUR"* is actually Deinonychus, which means "Terrible Claw". It was much larger than Velociraptor at 11 feet in length. They didn't used Velociraptors until the sequels.

[@Don_LUSH]

You thought it was a Raptor But it was him! The Deinonychus!

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Imagine if they had made an official *"CARNOSAUR 4"* - ignoring *"RAPTOR"* & *"The Eden Formula"* - and they used Utahraptor, which was even larger than Deinonychus; at *20 FEET!*

[@robwalsh9843]

In turn, Michael Crichton seemed to derive his Velociraptors in the Jurassic Park book more from Deinonychus as Deinonychus are much larger and come closer to human-size than turkey-sized Velociraptors. Personally I think he chose it for the name. "Velociraptor" has a special ring to it.

Fun Fact: The old school T. rex roar used in *"CARNOSAUR 2"* had been used in *"The Land Unknown"* (1957), *"The Giant Mantis"* (1957), *"DUEL"* (1971), *"JAWS"* (1975), *"KING KONG"* (1976), *"KING KONG LIVES"* (1986; for the theatrical trailer, unused in the final film), *"JAWS:* *The Revenge"* (1987), and *"GAMERA The Brave"* (2006). Plus, it was also used as Bowser's roar in the *"Super Mario Bros."* video games.

[@DavidRYates-tk2tq]

Yeah, I heard it and wondered why it sounded like Bowser was in the movie.

[@mikejackson2228]

I know the gem of the story. There was a Sci-Fi bookstore in Berkeley and Roger Corman was doing a signing. My friend Grace worked there. She was about 16 then. She could draw you in. He said he couldn't think of his next project and she suggested reading Carnosaur. She's the reason that I read it.

[@Awakeandalive1]

Was that "The Other Change of Hobbit"? Also, my friend was a corpse in the film because her uncle worked on it. She was also from the Bay Area...

[@robwalsh9843]

The Carnosaur novel was actually pretty entertaining and gruesome. And it did predate Jurassic Park.

[@canonbehenna612]

If it gets a remake closer to the book hopefully turns out better than other horror movies

[@1986BNick]

These movies are probably the best Budget Public Domain horror trilogy of a generation.

[@blankspace178]

*BRANDON...I am BEGGING YOU, please review "Cyborg 2087" from 1966. It's the movie Terminator is based on despite James Cameron saying otherwise. The plot is identical and has numerous identical lines from Terminator. I have been trying for years to bring more attention to this movie, but most people refuse to listen.*

[@mrmicro22]

Your use of bolding has convinced me.

[@blankspace178]

@@mrmicro22 Glad to hear it! "Cyborg 2087" was a monumental piece of cinematic and literary history and very few people seem to know about it. It's unfortunate.

[@6Sinners6Circus6]

Although I'm sure someone has already explained it, I have to say the Driver Ed Joke actually makes more sense than probably any shitty joke Ive ever heard in a B (D) Film. Not sure about today but years ago it was pretty common for Driver Ed classes to show students a film about the Dangers of Drinking and Driving the same movie they would show people forced to take classes after getting a DUI/DWI it was known for showing very graphic and gorey images of dead bodies involved in drunk driving Accidents. Hence the Joke. Love your Show, Your Channel is one of my favorite of KZbin and being that I honestly watch only KZbin nowadays I am very Grateful that you do what you do. Side Note I would love to see u and Mark from Weird Movies with Mark do a Colab one day if that's even Possible. Anyways Hope ur able to continue what you do for a long time and May your Sub Count continue to rise (far past 1 million Subscribers).

[@evilbob840]

I was thinking the same thing about the Driver's Ed. joke. But, to be fair, they had already stopped doing that when I was a teenager (back in the '80s); Roger Corman would have known about them, but Brandon is probably too young.

[@jamaisj]

@@evilbob840 It could also be a cultural thing (not sure if this was common in Canadian Driver's Ed).

[@evilbob840]

I JUST rewatched these! Whelp… no harm in another round.

[@BearPawSwipe]

I convinced my parents when I was 9 to rent carnosaur 1 and let's just say I got in trouble that night lol. I love this series. It is peak 1990s horror.

[@AliceBowie]

Diane Ladd looks better in Carnosaur than she did in Wild At Heart a few years earlier. They definitely cast her because her daughter was starring in Jurassic Park.

[@mousetreehouse6833]

She even looks MUCH better here than as Chevy Chases' mom in Christmas Vacation 🫠

[@Pixiel711]

The drivers ed thing was a reference to the gory movies they show in US drivers ed classes to put the fear into kids and maybe make them think twice about speeding or whatever. A classic one is called "Blood on the Asphalt” and they were notorious for sending kids running from the room throwing up. They use real footage of horrifically demolished human remains in real accidents.

[@ToxicGriever]

My driver's ed teacher still had a copy of that one and let students stay after to watch it if they wanted. I didn't. 😅

[@tadpolegaming4510]

Those are such classics

[@tuckerbowen4626]

[@rfhextra]

That Was Awesome Compilation.

[@MforMovesets]

When I saw that scene of Pratt breaking the neck of a Dilophosaur, I began to question if Carnosaur 1-3 might be better than Jurassic world 2-3.

[@Megarover]

If given an extra day of filming Corman would've probably come up with that idea.

[@bryanbell7816]

Great job Brandon. Keep up the great work. 😊

[@JPalinkas1993]

Fun fact: Brandon Tenold contributed a couple of writing pieces to the forecoming, "A History of CARNOSAUR," publishing by Bicep Books LLC! Now, with exclusive photos, exclusive interviews, and other exclusive content! Hopefully releasing by May 2024!

[@peggygreeby5065]

I think the Driver's Ed reference was due to the movie 'Signal Thirty' they played at the end of Driver's Ed training behind the wheel. Basically the movie showed gorey clips of real life car crash fatalities, with all the body parts and blood and gore.

[@ventcurtisburkett532]

There were other "educational" movies shown at the end of Driver's Ed courses too. The one they showed us (1976) had gory scenes of a real car wreck with dead black accident victims. Disturbing and wrong in many ways

[@JettBlast]

Brandon you and Cecil Trachenburg from GoodBadFlicks, both of you reviews make me want to see these old classic movies. But it seems to be just as entertaining to watch the review and have a guide who makes funny comments and gives a spin on the content like watching along watching with one of my buddies. I enjoy what you do and wish only the best as we all continue watching your great content, warmest regards Jett-Blast..

[@MrDogsledder]

Many years ago i rrad the book Carnasaur. It was a great book. Later i saw the movie on video. All it had in common with the book was the name.

[@sgerald]

The full size T rex was built in three weeks and didn't work very well, and they were only given ten weeks overall to create the film's dinosaurs so the miniatures for both and the full sized animatronics for the Deinonychus were similarly rushed. The third episode of the early nineties discovery channel show movie magic covered the creation of the dinosaurs, well as much as a half hour program could at any rate. A couple of visiting effects artists discussed the problems with the full sized rex when I was in college. Sadly that was long enough ago I can't remember everything that was said.

[@nickhouston1994]

Yoo Brandon, I literally got these and Raptor for Christmas. Man I love these movies

[@ScooBdont]

I’m slightly disappointed they didn’t title the second one “Carnosaur 2: More Carnosaur”

[@tuckerbowen4626]

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Here's to hoping that they bring the Carnosaur series back some day. If they can revive Jurassic Park, then they could do the same to Carnosaur.

[@CloneCommander5929]

This movie is Loosely based on a book by John Brosnan in 1984. The book is somehow crazier than the movie. The book has a lot more dinosaurs. These movies should have been called something stupid like "Dinopocalypse" and would still have made as much money. It is so much of a departure from the source material. Because of these movies, whenever CARNOSAUR is mentioned, people think of this abomination against cinema.

The 'Drivers Ed' line is in reference to a gore filled film series called Red Asphalt, that would depict horrifying car accident aftermaths.

[@bonehead2768]

Brandon - the Drivers Ed line is in America they used to show an educational movie called " Blood on the Highway" which featured ALOT of gore and dismemberment scenes. Hope that answers your question.
