If you think THAT'S bad,then try "Unknown Island".At one point,a man finds
himself surrounded by a group of the phoniest looking Ceratosaurus anyone
has ever seen.What are the odds that it would be THAT species?!?WHY,WHY
WHY?!?The movie makers apparently had it in for Tyrannosaurus rex too,as
that was what the bad rubber ceratosaur suits had been credited in the film
as being.I know it's the 40's,but COME ON!Anyway,rather than to even TRY to
rescue him,his fellow humans decide to put him out of his misery by shooting
HIM!!!!
Later we see a really bad King Kong rip-off with big teeth (believe it or
not,called Megatherium!!!!) in a battle with Ceratosaurus that would not be
quite good enough for the worst Godzilla movie.If you think it was bad
seeing T.rex beaten by a spinosaur,Ceratosaurus not only GOT BEAT BY A
GROUND SLOTH,but then THROWN OFF A CLIFF BY THAT GROUND SLOTH,ON TOP OF
IT!!!!!
It was the stupidest looking fight I've ever seen!
(At least the Megatherium was kind enough to put poor Ceratosaurus out of
it's misery,pity about the movie's audience though.)
