Carnosaur 2

Also see Tale of the Teeth

Carnosaur 2Roughly two months after the bloody finale of Carno Uno, something just happens to go terribly wrong at a high-security underground storage facility — OK, well, everyone’s turned into hamburger. A team of commandos sent to scope out the scene come face-to-snout with ALIENS, er, RAPTORS!!! A protracted game of hide-and-go-eat ensues with CineSchlocker favorite John Savage trying to keep his squad off the menu. Shockingly, no real effort is made to explain away the previous film’s world-wide plague of chicken fever that made human females spontaneously launch ravenous reptiles from their bellies. So, do NOT look behind the curtain — keep your eyes firmly on the non-union stuntmen jogging around the set in increasingly tattered dino suits.

Notables: No breasts. 14 corpses. Two-man brawl. Arm ripping. Head tumbles. Exploding Revell helicopter. Pet iguana.

Quotables: This soldier isn’t buying this dino story, "Right, I’m Bigfoot and she’s the Loch Ness Monster."

Time codes: Trouble at the diner (9:30). First clear look at a raptor (32:40). Heart-warming moment of reflection on a dead uncle (55:30). Same shot of T-Rex gasping its last breath as used in Carnosaur (1:16:15).
