Sven- Dinosaurus!

 

Two dinosaurs and a caveman are found in suspended animation after an underwater explosion.  Lightning brings them back to life, and terror and hi-jinks follow.  Our heroes are trapped on an island in the Caribbean and have to figure out a way to stop these monsters from... something? Granted, the Tyrannosaurus rex was running around eating people, but after 65 million years of sleep, he had to be hungry.  This movie was made at a time when all theropod dinosaurs would eat people, animals and even machinery, even if they had a mouthful of other dinosaur.  It's just how it was.  Manly hero Bart has to save the island from both the T rex and much slimier island boss Mike Hacker.

I thought I had reviewed Sven's airing of this from the last time he showed it, but I so did not.  He really didn't say anything unknown to me, and added several sound effects to the movie, rather than his "svensurround" segment after.  I am not a fan of that kind of thing.  It wasn't awful, since this movie is a comedy-adventure anyway.  The print was nice, though why it wasn't in true widescreen is beyond me.

Next- Phantom of the Opera 1941
