Unknown MOTW- T Rex

 

The Land Unknown is a pretty fun movie, and even the slightly ungainly monsters don't really take away from the pulp feel.  Had the dinosaurs (and other prehistoric animals) been better looking it would have been a classic of the genre.  The Tyrannosaurus rex is our main menace, aside from the crazy dude who has been trapped in this lost world for years.  Rex would later appear under the name Spot for the Munsters, I think.

It really isn't a great looking suit, though.  I don't know who made it, but they didn't even try to make it look like an animal,  There's a man inside it.  The poor guy can barely make it move as well.  I'm generally not for replacing things, but today they could replace it with a stop-motion dinosaur and it would be a better movie.
