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

[@cernstormrunner7263]

The actress that played Thrush was also the student/test subject in Ghostbusters who was *not* getting electrocuted for incorrectly guessing Venkmans Zener cards.

[@robwalsh9843]

"THIS IS NOT YOUR DAY!"

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

This was her final film, before she semi-retired and then came back for *"Silent Night, Bloody Night 2: Revival"* in 2015, *"Terror Tales"* in 2016, and *"Bloodsucka Jones vs The Creeping Death"* in 2017.

[@LovlyHorror]

The effect? I'll tell what the effect is! It's pissing me off!

[@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.

[@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...

[@jonathanmulondo9206]

When it's a Roger Corman production you know you're in for a wild ride. The Carnasour series is Godzilla and Jurassic Park on LSD

[@BearPawSwipe]

With a weird side of eco-terrorism!!

[@GMBUGO]

With some aliens on the side

[@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

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

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:* *The Legend Reborn"* (1976), *"KING* *KONG LIVES"* (1986; for the theatrical trailer, unused in the 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.

[@Blindgenxgamer]

The dinosaur that was killed by the Sheriff only had 65 million years left until retirement! 🤣

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.

[@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.

[@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]

Damn, all they made us watch at my high school was a Simple Plan music video

[@stevepalpatine2828]

You mean Red Apshalt? Yeah its pretty grim. Not Cartel video level by a long way but its got some pretty messed up scenes.

[@tadpolegaming4510]

@@stevepalpatine2828 I thought so too but there was actually one titled Blood on the Asphalt

[@1986BNick]

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

[@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!

[@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 🫠

[@TuckerLeeC]

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

[@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.

[@RandallFrequentFlyerFlagg]

The green text in the movie footage gives me flashbacks of Fallout 3.

[@bryanbell7816]

Great job Brandon. Keep up the great work. 😊

[@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..

[@agnethaladuff8559]

Awesome movie reviews of Carnosaur 1 to 3. More Dinosaur movies need to be made.

[@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.

Ah yes, Jurassic park on drugs.

This movie had like four movies If you wanna count raptor.

[@HawkknightXC88]

If Jurassic Park had followed the Novels we probably would had gotten to see messed up Dinosaur killings like what Carnosaur did. Atleast with the T Rex and Raptors.

[@rfhextra]

That Was Awesome Compilation.

[@grapeshot]

It's like a man in a dinosaur suit runs a muck.

I would like to introduce you to a certain 70-year old franchise from Japan.

Have you read Roger Corman's autobiography? It's called, "I'm Not Bert I. Gordon: The Roger Corman Story?"

[@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.

[@DavidRoarty]

16 WitchCraft movies?? Puppet Master is in the works of their 16th movie from Charles Band and Full Moon Features, Puppet Master: Furnace Leech Woman

It’s already been six years since then?!

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

[@Cdr2002]

15:18 it’s like how Return of Godzilla constructed the Cybot then didn’t use it all that much

[@dfailsthemost]

Good times. I like these longer uploads.

[@Dreadjaws]

Just in case the ripping off Jurassic Park wasn't too on the nose, in my region the first movie's VHS was actually titled "Carnosaur Park". I know they did the same for the second one, but I don't know about the third. It's crazy, because I live in Latin America, and usually movie titles just get translated into Spanish, but here they decided the reference was more important than the translation.

[@lobcat-j2o]

Ooh a triple feature. Hope you do some more like this.

[@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

[@PantherJaguar]

I literally just rewatched all these episodes the other day and now this supercut. Time to watch all of them again!

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

This is the best video I have watched in a while. Loved these trash movies so much as a kid. Very wild lore.

[@erikthompson619]

And ... is it just me who reacted to Roger Corman casting a younger bargain bin version of Cliff DeYoung in the first movie, to upgrade to the real thing in parrt 2?

[@justinfiorenzio7112]

The Carnosuar, would be an interesting addition to the Monsterverse

[@Toolness1]

"just imagine a green, fertile planet" Guess she's never seen a satellite image of the Earth before Why do these Dinosaurs always bend their stupid neck all weird like that

[@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.

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

There's difference between book canon & movie canon.

[@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.

[@crazedvole]

Did you ever do "Wolfen?" 1981 Wolf (or something) eating people in NYC.

[@skwisgarskwigelf7191]

The first Carnosaur was actually quite good and by that I mean entertaining. The special effects sucked and the story had a lot of plot holes but it was campy and had an interesting concept. Plus the bleak ending was memorable

[@marckoppelman7170]

And to add more insult to injury: neither raptors or the T-rex are classified as carnosaurs.. 😁

[@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.

[@ScooBdont]

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

[@tuckerbowen4626]

...i don't get it

Oh hey, Brandon! Canda doesn't have 'Blood on the Asphalt' huh? Probably what the drivers ed joke was talking about. Lots of mangled bodies and 'This could happen to you' except the bodies were real.

On the driver's ed comment on part 3: In the US in the 90's they would sometimes give first time speeding ticket offenders the option to take, "Driving School" classes to avoid fines or reporting to your insurance. They were known for making you watch videos of actual car crash fatality footage. It was pretty fucked up. 😬

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

Monk is the comic relief.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Carnosaur was the movie when your mom said you had Jurrasic Park at home.

[@CtrlAltFinito]

You should do a collab with Mark from the WMWM/FanboyFlicks.

[@PhriamJayKim_FatherSon]

Pretty cool to see Harrison Page from Ultraman Powered in the first Carnosaur who played the Captain in the show which Ultraman Powered came out the same year as Carnosaur. For those of you who don't know, Ultraman Powered AKA Ultraman The Ultimate Hero was an American produced Ultra Series despite not being broadcast there, it's a pretty underrated Ultra Show and highly recommend watching it if you're interested

[@dinoduelist2219]

I think that drivers ed line was a reference to Red Asphalt. Definitely makes sense to me after seeing it

[@burtonmoore996]

Not sure they still do this, but in the states, at the end of drivers ed classes they would show us uncensored images of auto accident fatalities. Blood, brains, broken bones and brutality.

Drivers Ed used to entail watching gruesome PSA videos that showed actual accident scenes……they stopped in the early 80s.

[@fje6902]

It's the forensic scientist from Police Squad.

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

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

[@kirktravis5780]

Drivers Ed used to show some pretty intense gore. It was to shock the kids.

[@Vicerion17]

The guy in Carnosaur 2 being dressed like Paul Reiser's character in Aliens had to be done on purpose right? I mean they're not only almost the exact same clothes but the character's role in the movies are similar. However what I want to know is why? It's like they went "Hey you remember that douchey Weyland Yutani corporate stooge? So yeah let's make our own version and dress them up the same, audiences will love it!"
