With an old school fantasy artwork front cover I was drawn to Dinosaur Island even though I knew from experience this was likely to be not only a T&A film but also pretty darn bad.Regarding the T&A there is plenty, yet somehow someway it is not only tasteful but mostly directly related to the plot.Regarding the quality it's a mixed bag. The movie actually looks quite good, the location and costume design is solid but when the sfx come into the equation it all falls apart. I'm not saying the sfx are bad I'm saying they're awful. The dinosaurs are stop motion animation and looked at home back in the 60's so there is no excuse for a 1994 film.Yes the film isn't supposed to be taken seriously and is essentially a comedy but those sfx are beyond bad.Thankfully the script is okay and there are genuine laughs to be had, the whole movie reminded me of Cave Girl (1985) except Cave Girl didn't reach beyond its means and had far more of a charm.For what it is Dinosaur Island isn't bad but as a whole it's not something I could ever confidently recommend to anyone.The Good: Some decent efforts at humour Tasteful well done T&A scenesThe Bad: SFX that were on point in the 60's Things I Learnt From This Movie: Trained military with automatic weapons will have no effect on a raging t-rex but a bunch of scantily clad girls with sticks will scare it off Boobs squeezing is the no.1 fighting technique for amazons The infamous beast of the cave is the offspring of a xenomorph and a muppet

This film is almost a soft core porn film. The type of film a young teen boy would love to stumble upon late at night after his parents have gone to bed. However, as an adult it is nice to see some of the girls' assets, but other than that there really is not a whole lot to it. A film like this is not trying to be serious, it is listed as a comedy, but it is not really all that funny for the most part. It does feature women in skimpy outfits and dinosaurs, so yes, a film like this would have been a great find for a teen boy back in the day before there was internet.The story, three guys who are on their way to a court martial get lucky as they end up on an island where there are voluptuous cave women; however, there are also dinosaurs! The guys are told they must die, until they are thought to be gods who will help the cave women dispose of the great one, a super dinosaur! The lead guy escorting the three losers to their court martial seems intent on delivering the men and even works out a deal with the leader of the cave women who distrusts these men, but then he seems to side with the soldiers making one think they missed a scene or two.The film is good for one thing and that is nudity and it delivers some really nice looking females. The comedy pretty much fails for the most part, the action is terrible and the effects are hokey. Ross Hagen plays the man intent on bringing the men back and whose change of heart comes out of nowhere. He is an actor who is a b movie king starring in a ton of films and also in films parodied on MST3K such as Sidehackers and Hellcats. The rest of the cast is not really notable, but a lot of those girls are very attractive!

I would like to begin by giving a small summary to the plot of the film: 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. I was indulged into the story almost instantly, with use of a brilliantly intense plot. The production and actors were spanking. When the two main characters kissed my heart defiantly skipped a beat. I believe Fred Olen Ray has done a remarkable and ground breaking job, which has really captivated the future of filmography. With use of uncustomary CGI I would call this revelation a success comparing to the greats of Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club and also Avatar. 10/10 Superb I must say!!!!!!!!

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)?
