Problems with Raptor

I have noticed so many problems with this movie.
1. The monster that goes around the town on a killing spree is referd to constantly as a T-Rex when its a deinonychus.
2. Nobody notices when the eunice facility starts roaring.
3. A deinonychus escaped from the eunice facility inside a chicken truck, but where did the deinonychus that attacked the three kids before that come from, and where did he go?
4. The fat guy looses weight when the T-Rex grabs him.
5. The weird raptor things in the compound (What are they supposed to be) manage to chew through an elveator cable and smash throught an elevator roof.
6. At the end the guys machine seems to change shape every time the guy grunts.

This is such a funny movie, the mistakes make the movie hilarious, you can't imagine how funny i found it that the vehicles keep changing at the end, i think i saw 3different ones

Yeah, the 'Bobcat' front-end loader is maybe 5 or 6 feet wide, then they show a machine 4 times the size in the wide shots (and no one's driving in those shots either)...

They couldn't let you see the driver of the forklift because it was the kid in "Carnosaur 2" which is where most of that footage came from. Sci Fi showed that movie a couple of hours earlier... talk about a flash back, lol.

It's not just the second Carnosaur movie that "contributes" to this movie. Scenes from all THREE of them showed up at one point or another, and rather often at that.

On that note, this just made the movie even better. Once I caught on to what was happening, I couldn't help but enjoy watching and waiting for the next scene that was edited in, and to note how the actors in THIS movie had been dressed so it would sync up better. It definitely explained the grouping of those two military forces in the second half, with the one black-clad guy mixed in with the camo guys. Freaking HILARIOUS.

It was on the SciFi channel last night, so my friend and I watched the end of it, and me being a big fan of the Carnosaur movies, was able to point out what movie every scene was actually from and tell him what was wrong with it.

Sorry guys and gals, the main problem with raptor was that it was pure crap. I'm just after watchin it on telly and i've seen better acting in low budget pornos!! And a dinosaur toy from a happy meal would make a more convincing killing machine. The whole movie was just painful and pointless.

[–] CharlesVariations 18 years ago

yeah also the problem is that every scene which shows a dinosaur is edited from each movie of the carnosaur trilogy, which means they never actually used their own dino's at all. Why would they do that? Whats up with this guy and stock footage? He puts a bunch in his movies.

See you in the funny papers.

also, aside from all the lifted footage from the CARNOSAUR movies, there is ALSO a scene from THE NEST in the movie, when the truck falls off the bridge or something.

Yeah, in the first scene with him, I actually thought it is Ed Harris.

Sounds like the latter-day Corman is a cinematic Doctor Frankenstein---lifting pieces of other cinema bodies and grafting them together with filmic connecting tissue LOL!!!
