Question???

I used to watch this movie alot way back in the day when I was 5 to 10 years old. Haven't seen it in at least 12 years. Anyway one thing that bugged me more than
anything else in the movie, even when I was 6 or 7 was how did that Triceratops
end up buried in a moutain side??? The T Rex takes the drill transport and starts knocking down a cliffside to bury it, and out of the cliff pops a Triceratops!!! What the hell??? I might have been only 6 or 7 but I knew damn well even back then that dinosaurs don't come blasting out of cliffsides. It just looked so stupid that one would be buried like that, to make it even stupider it was in the T rexs lair. What? did he knock it out with a pool cue and drag it there a couple of weeks back and forgot about it???

Still this is the type of movie I love to kick back with chips and soda on a sunday afternoon when there isn't anything going on.

I guess we could look at this movie as taking place in a Godzilla style world. In the Godzilla movies almost all of the monsters have a habit of hiding under ground or hiding in cliffsides. Godzilla likes moutains, I think Rodan used to hide in volcanos and Anguila would burrow under ground.

It just sounds funny, for some reason. These big, damn, monsters hiding in these places. Ha! ha! ha!

Little known factotum is that this was produced with money from the Catholic Church.

Not unless the Catholic Church is in Japan or the owned Rankin/Bass I don't think so.
