Great work as usual after all these years you're still my favorite snarky Canadian/movie reviewer

I have a movie for you to review. "Triassic Attack"

Please review Triassic Attack

That, or do another godzilla movie.

It would be great to see Xenozoic get adapted one of these days.

100% the fault of the firearms supervisor. Why was live ammunition even on site? Why wasn't it locked up? Who's job was it to make certain it wasn't in the weapon? And so on... It wasn't Baldwin's fault.

@@timtheskeptic1147 Still preventable on Baldwin's end by double checking. It was a string of errors.

@thacobell4700 not untrue, but it still doesn't explain why live ammunition was on set. I digress and agree. It was a string of errors that resulted in tragedy.

​@@timtheskeptic1147He fired the gun. His fault. Any responsible person would always, regardless of what anyone else says, check the weapon for ammo and safety. Also, the firearms supervisor had no idea what they were doing. Everything would've been prevented if Baldwin was properly trained in firearms.

@@Mister-Six I agree! But it all starts with the person in charge of the weapons on set.

Except, they actually have feathers and look like ostriches with hands and long tails.

@@ExtremeMadnessX Some did, some didn’t. And some of the ones that had feathers didn’t have a full coating of feathers, and instead had sparse coverings, similar to the fur covering of an elephant.

Tho I would say reptilian ostrich sound nicer

@@beastmaster0934 That's true, but I'm specifically talking about ornithomimosaurs here.

It was sad, but I always wondered did the villagers have a BBQ later?😂🍖🍖🍗🍗😂

​@@randybarnett2308 LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

​@@randybarnett2308mmm...grilled allosaurus sounds tasty...🤤

You’re quite right.

@@IndominusGojira pass the BBQ sauce!😛😀🍖🍖🍗

I seem to remember eo hippus is equally boring and means something like tiny horse or first horse....

​@@marhawkman303dawn horse.

@@iapetusmccool ah, ok, TY

@@iapetusmccool beat me to it ;)

the little horse! my dream animal

Cowboys never go out of style they even had them in Star Trek,and in Star Wars -- Han Solo was sorta a cowboy,anyway Cowboys rule!👍💪🤠

That actually sound really cool as a concept

@@randybarnett2308 Lucas even explicitly described Han as a cowboy. Part of why he's first encountered in a cantina, not a bar or a tavern or something.

It was even the basis for The Secret Empire segments of the TV series Cliffhangers.

@@Wanttowrite I remember that show. I liked the "Dracula" segments, and I recall that there was a Brenda Starr-like female reporter.

I guess he was a little too late to see Jurassic Park then

@@rextexan4727 He said in an interview that he saw the film and it was well done and said that the Dinosaurs were so real and scary, little kids would have nightmares for years.

I always wonder what he would've thought of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal had he still lived.

Too bad they couldn't do a spaghetti western cowboys and dinosaurs movie.

​@@winternow2242I Don't Think Clint Eastwood would Want to be in That Movie. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

I'm always in awe of Ray Harryhausen's artistic skills. I was 6 when I first saw this. "The Valley of Gwangi" will always hold a special place in my heart of nostalgic love from me.

It took time for the comic book industry to realize similar.

It's fine if kids are the main focus of the story, but whenever they're shoehorned in as side characters it almost always feels superfluous.

@@TheBrandonTenold it's mainly because the kids are never well-written characters. In Jurassic Park the kids are well-written and have good interactions with the adult characters because they're treated like humans and not vessels for the audience to feel extra tension.

@@TheBrandonTenold There are exceptions. "Short Round" from Temple of Doom was great.

​@fakshen1973 Short Round was decent, but as a kid I was still more engaged by Indy.

I'm pretty sure Gwangi is an Allosaurus.

That scene where Gwangi comes out from behind that rock formation and eats that Ornithomimid was definitely referenced in the first Jurassic Park - that scene where Rexy charges out of the trees and kills a Gallimimus. The scene where Rexy eats the goat was a reference to the rancor in Return of the Jedi, so it's all intentional.

@@ggrarl Referenced? I'd say inspired from.

He's an Allosaurus/T-rex hybrid (I call Gwangi an "Allotyrannus")

@@ggrarlThis movie also has quite the parallels to The Lost World.

Never had a projector to watch those 8mm clip reels, but I'm old enough to know about them. For those unclear, during the early to late 70s, I recall visiting stores like K-Mart and in either the phonographic record depart or either the camera section, the stores had display racks offering 8mm celluloid film reels. These items either contained highlights of movies, some pivotal or iconic scenes or a severely truncated cut of the overall movie, usually condensed to 15 minutes or less. This was an era before "affordable" video playback and recording devices like BetaMax, VHS, and a plethora of abandoned technologies. If one wanted yo watch a "movie" at the time of one's choosing (not dependent upon the whims of the local station's programming scheduler), this was one's primary option. And one had to be a bit more fiscally affluent if one wanted audio. Sound for these reels, and the projectors with the hardware to play it, cost considerably extra. While my father was not poor by any means, he was prudent with finances, so we never owned these entertainment "frivolities". We made do with "rabbit ear" color TV in the den. But I do remember "drooling" over the reels offered in the store. Of course, once the video industry started to offer movies upon tape, full length with audio (and color if the it was filmed that way), the 8mm reel market died hard.

That's what I would have named my daughter. Luckily for her, I didn't have one.

😆

Just opening a bottle of that and you could suffer the Gypsy's Curse of Gwangi!

I love a night to remember, I much prefer it over '97 Titanic with Jack and Rose. I'm so glad he was both on the Titanic and wrangling dinos in the old west.

He was also in another Harryhausen film: Jason and the Argonauts, as Argus, the man who built the Argo.

Also in the classic war movie "Sink the Bismarck!" as Sea Lord Dudley Pound along with fellow "Night to Remember" co-star Kenneth More.

I always associate Laurence Naismith most with the original "Village Of The Damned" and especially his Merlin in the 1967 film of Lerner and Loewe's "Camelot".

⁠@@thenumbah1birdman *"Sink the Bismarck!"* also starred Michael Goodliffe (Titanic's designer Thomas Andrews), Russell Napier (Californian's Captain Stanley Lord), and Jack Watling (4th Officer Joseph Boxhall) from *"A Night to Remember".* As well as featured other Bond actors that co-starred in the film: the aforemetioned Michael Goodliffe (MI6 Chief of Staff Bill Tanner), Geoffrey Keen (Minister of Defense Frederick "Freddy" Grey) and Walter Gotell (SPECTRE agent Morzeny in *"From Russia With Love"* & KGB General Anatol "Alexis" Gogol from 1977-1987).

Franciscus co-starred with Heston in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. They looked like twin brothers.

Truth! Before my time. Although, my Planet of the Apes DVD with commentary supports your statement. Linda Harrison played Nova. During the interview she said James Franciscus was a smaller version of Charlton Heston.

​@@markrowlett6921on the nose: 60s film producer type: Let's get Heston! 60s film producer type 2: He does come with an asking price....and he's penciled in for....(big name title 1)... and...(big name title 2) 60s film producer type: Let's then get...Franciscus

Looked great shirtless, tho, and that smooth look was overtaking Heston's hairy-chested manliness by this time.

He was also the star on LONGSTREET where Bruce Lee was often the guest star.

Yeah, same, my dad showed this and some other monster movies recorded from TV on a VHS, including Reptilicus, which that movie traumatized me.

Glue

Same way Willis O'Brien did with Kong, carefully brushed it back into place between each frame. This is a big part of why stop motion was mostly used to depict reptiles instead of mammals.

@@davidvanhorn3340 better hair kept it from ruffling like you can still see in Kong and Mighty Joe Young.

Damn, that sounds epic!

I saw this at the movies with my dad, possibly the Portage in Chicago.

OMG You are absolutely right.

And The Dark Crystal (specifically in the scene where the Garthim kill the Landstriders).

I can think of two versions I'd want to see: 1) Steven Segal doing his slapfighting thing with a T-Rex. 2) The carnivorous dinosaur wins the fight and kills Segal (character or actor, either way is a win). Best thing is, they could do both in the same fight.

Seagal could also play the dinosaur. He's fat enough now.

Fun fact: James Cameron was thinking of offering to direct Jurassic Park before Spielberg got the job. Cameron wanted to cast Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charlton Heston.

I wanna see Seagal play Older Cameron Mitchell in the biopic.

Space Ice liked this comment.

That sounds interesting

And started steam punk.

Compare it to the Ymir fight with the elephant in "20 million miles to Earth."

_in your life_ ?

@@M2Mil7er I work in ranching in Nevada and rodeo, and I have a masters in geology because of my love of dinosaurs
