Worst (as in cheesiest) death I have seen in a sci/fi flick to date.....

Oh come on......the wounded, dying lion is banging on the door to get out and kill that scientist guy. Its banging on the door loosens one of the teeth on the giant sabertooth statue that scientist guy just happens to be standing under. I can't even explain anymore, was this movie supposed to be a comedy?

Also, what the hell kinda ending was that? I blinked and it was over. What happened to the three remaining kids left in that room? Weren't there at least a couple more tigers running around?

This movie is not even grade B it's so bad. Definetely, as another poster put it, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 material.

Man, I miss that show.

I tuned in at that exact moment, without seeing any other parts of the movie, & was trying to figure out why a tooth was about to fall off of an animated sabretooth. I was very surprised to find out that this was a "special effect" & it was intended to be the exterior of a building. Classic. Now I want to see the entire film, of course I love MST-type movies.

And of course we all noticed the sabertooth statue was CGI in the shot where the fang came loose and impaled the guy. Awful, just awful. Years ago, I read a novel about a pack of sabertooths emerging from the hills around L.A. and wreaking havoc. The novel ends with an exciting battle at the La Brea tar pits. Why can't someone make that into a film, bad CGI or not?

Just an FYI for any SabreTooth fans out there: The book ctomveul-1 is referring to is called FATALIS, written by Jeff Roven and published in 2001. The film rights to that book were bought by Universal for Sylvester Stallone, but nothing ever became of it.

From ED WOOD...
Is there a script?
No, but there's a poster!

What amazed me about that is that, being absolutely fair, the CGI for the sabretooth itself isn't -that- bad. But that CGI sabretooth that loses its tooth is so unspeakably terrible that I can't believe they decided to include it.

I have and I'm not exaggerating here, -never- seen CGI as bad as that in any film ever. And this film came out only four years ago, that's the insane thing.

Hey look. Someone was gracious enough to post the video:

That tooth *was* pretty horrible....but what I found worse yet was the way it changed sizes from every angle they showed it after. In one shot it's like three feet long, the next from another angle, it's as long as he is tall etc.

I gave it a three. Not even worth saying more.
