  • Dinosaurs Attack is a strange, but unique franchise that started off as trading cards but eventually expanded to a full-on comic. What makes this series unique is the sheer amount of violence it's known for, but despite this, it actually has a bit of a story to it.

However, these old gods were overthrown by new gods in Cenozoic,the old gods basically became the basis of dragons,giants,Titans and other primordial deities in various mythologies.

      that always bothers me since if you know anything about modern bombs you'd know just how destructive they are. Even high strength steel, much less flesh, cant withstand it. "bunker busters" and similar can punch through meters of steel reinforced concrete and still destroy most if not all of a building so if you hit a giant monster with it even if it's skin is as strong as steel and the creature is bigger than a skyscraper it's still toast. That's all without bringing up nukes, chemical weapons, or incendiary weapons. Even some anti-armor rockets and missiles can punch through flesh and metal pretty easy, some like certain RPGs melt copper or other metals in the rocket and force a jet of molten metal into the target melting it as much as blowing it up, similar story with weapons like Thermite.

I can talk about sharks without someone trying to find a way to connect it to Jaws. I can watch a video about a space opera without someone immediately bringing up Star Wars. I grew up in the 80s when looking up one of my childhood favorites, Dino Riders, there's multiple comments going or "They should do a cross over with Jurassic Park to explain why the dinosaurs can get hit with missiles through genetic engineering". People talk about King Kong in the frame of "It was their Jurassic Park" or some old Back to the Future clout chaser in My Science Project. No one even mentions Back to the Future, the movie it is aping, but they do mention Jurassic Park when the tyrannosaur shows up.

    I remember getting some of those cards from the most unlikely source, my Sunday school teacher. A sweet old lady named Mrs. Miller. Along with the church stuff she would sometimes just take us outside on short walks to the nearby park. I got a bunch of the kids excited for a game that we were tracking dinosaurs. Not too long after there was an easter Sunday celebration and she got easter baskets for all the regulars in her Sunday class. My brother and I had some of those cards in the basket. It was pretty horrific when we opened them on the way home. The card with the Parasaurolophus holding a stroller with a fat little arm and leg falling from its mouth was probably the most disturbing. Luckily our Mom saw the cards and took them away, but in no way blamed Mrs. Miller. She knew her well enough to know she just got them because they had dinosaurs on them, not realizing just how messed up they were.
    Also the humanoid Saurian from the cards was a theory going around at the time of what Dinosaurs would have looked like today if they had never gone extinct. If anyone else remembers all those dinosaur specials that used to air around that time they might remember seeing that.

    These cards were given to me as a little kid by my folks, thinking it was about Dinosaurs and not thinking past that, the gore and violence scared the literal shit out of me and I had nightmares for days, I wouldn't even look at the cards out of fear of having more Nightmares. So, eventually I buried them outside of our old house under a pile of old rocks out in the back. Now I think about that and think I was very weird for doing that but I was only like 10 at the moment or littler. Feels stupid now, but then I was scared completely shitless and the nightmares were not fun.

    I love these cards and comic! Thank you for covering this!!!
    If I were to make a movie about these, I would try to make it like a reverse Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs would be stop motion and looking inaccurate which I think would be funny!

    Honestly, imagine an adaptation of this story today! I didn’t even realize this was connected to Mars Attack until you mentioned it. Just imagine a comic accurate adaptation in all its glory on the big screen with todays technology! It would be a perfect blend of horror, action, and comedy. And just when you think the movie is over, you see an image of a saucer coming to earth and BAM! You just realized you were watching a Mars Attack sequel and there will be a third one to complete the trilogy.

      would only make sense if they somehow used the particle beam to reset the timeline to before the dinosaurs invaded which alerts the martians and prompts them to enact their invasion

    My dad gave me a pack of these back in the early 90's and my mom freaked out and took them away; but I never forgot the shocking imagery and the feeling of horror and intrigue they gave me. Years later in 2019, I found a seller that shipped me the entire card collection + the stickers in a nice glass case. Just ordered the 'Supreme Evil' dinosaur-satan figure by ReAction and it arrived today. Such a cool series.

    Great overview. DINOSAURS ATTACK! remains the funkiest thing I ever created, and I'm very proud of it. It was designed with a film adaptation in mind, and I hope there will indeed be one in my lifetime... even if I have to make it myself. By the way, I was co-writing the original screenplay for Stan Winston's PUMPKINHEAD when I was preparing DINOSAURS ATTACK! back in 1987, which may explain the demonology connection (along with my need to parody QUATERMASS AND THE PIT). And the Supreme Monstrosity/Dinosaur Diety will apparently be making a dramatic comeback in 2023, as will my alter-ego, Elias Thorne. That's all I can say right now, folks, but trust me... something pretty cool is on the way. Best regards, Gary Gerani

    Neat little psuedo factoid: I believe that some of the sticker cards were illustrated by Hal Robbins, who did the voice of the scientists in Halflife, improvized a lot of the techbobabble for the game.

    I've never heard of this before - never heard of your channel before either, but definitely subbing now. Thanks for the recommendation, RUclips - but man it seems really awesome! I wish the creative types behind stuff like this wouldn't just be looking at movies for adaptations nowadays though, as this property seems like it might be perfect for some kind of video game. Some over-the-top open world destruction fest a la Destroy All Humans! ReProbed or some kind of insane action game like Earth Defense Force or maybe even some survival thing like the Japan-only Kyohei Toshi/City Shrouded in Shadows (where you play as a normal human trying not to get killed during different, fictional disasters such as Godzilla attacks, battles between Ultraman and Kaiju, or the collateral damage caused by fights involving the mecha from Patlabor (it was published by Bandai Namco; they threw a lot of their licensed properties into the thing, lol). Dinosaur Attacks! may not have gotten it's chance to be a movie, but it could make for a heckuva fun game if the stars aligned :)
    Still, even just learning about the cards and the story behind it makes me really happy now. Great video!
