What do you do when you need a Jurassic Park mockbuster, but The Asylum hasn't been founded yet? Call the Cormans, of course! This brings us Carnosaur, a film adaptation of the novel Carnosaur, which is as much an adaptation of that as Dragonball Evolution was an adaptation of Dragonball. Still, as an original production, how does it stand up?

I remember when my Dad brought this home, After I begged him to rent it, we looked at each other halfway through the movie and just laughed so loud it was hilarious I looked at him and said can we watch Jurassic Park again?!!
In the book, in addition to a _Deinonychus,_ there was a _Tarbosaurus_ (which was the "main" dinosaur instead of _T. rex)_ a plesiosaur that attacks a party yacht, a _Scolosaurus_ that fights a motherfucking tank, a _Dilophosaurus..._ and a sexually frustrated _Megalosaurus._
I am not even making that up.
Safe to say the book was better
And there was two T-Rexes at the very end of the book
There was also a baby Brachiosaurus that was left alive and is to be exhibited at a British zoo.
Can I know how to buy the book?
I am from Asia.
The one time Tarbosaurus got its time to shine over its more famous cousin.
And the movie replaces it with T.rex anyways.
RIP Tarbosaurus.
That thunder clap reaction was GOLD!
T-rex and Deinonychus? Those aren't even carnosaurs! We need Carcharodontosaurus up in here!
Michael Meyer i love you
And my boi, the Allosaurus!
Well to be fair, this was before the term "carnosaur" was redefined to encompass a more specific group of dinosaurs. At the time, dinosaurs like T-rex were indeed classified as carnosaurs.
Glad to see someone with the same idea.
Carcharodontosaurus is one of my favourite Theropods
I imagine the internal damage and bleeding from laying a giant egg is fatal
*The myth, the legend, the film that had it’s footage reused more than any other.*
Cough cough gamera movies well the 70s to early 80s
Yeah gamera super monster was almost entirely stock footage
i love how many videos you produce in so little time. Thank you!
Michael Lena Mainly I was catching up to where I was supposed to be.. now, I just have to get back to having them on time every Wednesday.
Decker Shado Can you review the Carnosaur (film series)
Carnosaur (film):
The first film in the series, Carnosaur was released to theaters on May 14, 1993. Loosely based on the John Brosnan's 1984 novel, Carnosaur. Jane Triptree (Diane Ladd), a mad scientist specializing in agricultural genetic engineering, uses chickens from the plant she works at to breed dinosaurs, eventually attempting to create a virus containing dinosaur DNA that will impregnate women with dinosaurs and kill them after birth, so they can wreak havoc and exterminate all of humanity, which she believes needs to be destroyed, so that the dinosaurs may essentially rule the planet once again. Now it is up to the alcoholic security guard and an environmental activist to attempt to stop her and the rampaging reptiles before the military kills everyone in town to quarantine the virus, or before these Mesozoic monsters can achieve their goal in world conquest. It was a modest box-office success, reportedly grossing $1,753,979, despite a limited theatrical release.
Carnosaur 2:
Directed by Louis Morneau and written by Michael Palmer, Carnosaur 2 was released to theaters on February 23, 1995. Starring John Savage and Cliff De Young, the film features a group of technicians called in to investigate the power shortage at a top-secret mining facility, only to discover it is actually a remote nuclear dump site where the government transported the dinosaurs from the first film. The dinosaurs got out of their holding area and ate the scientists, and now the technicians must try to survive while avoiding a radiation leak and trying to keep the dinosaurs from escaping the facility. The film was released to DVD on April 18, 2000. The Deinonychus was replaced by the Velociraptor in this film and later on.
Carnosaur 3: Primal Species:
Released direct-to-video on December 17, 1996, Carnosaur 3: Primal Species was directed by Jonathan Winfrey, and starred Scott Valentine and Janet Gunn. The film involves a group of terrorists who attempt to steal a large shipment of Uranium from a cargo ship, but they instead are all chased and killed by cloned dinosaurs that were being contained there. Then a military team is sent to investigate the disturbance, when they encounter the vicious beasts themselves. The film is the last in the series, but was followed by an unofficial sequel, called Raptor, about dinosaurs attacking a small town. Raptor was released direct to video as well, and used a heavy amount of footage from the original trilogy.
Raptor (film):
Released direct-to-video on November 6, 2001, Raptor was directed by Jim Wynorski. Using recycled footage from the previous three films as well as some new footage filmed in Agua Dulce, California's Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, the film focuses on a small town sheriff (Eric Roberts) and an animal control officer (Melissa Brasselle) investigating a series of deaths by genetically engineered dinosaurs that escape from a nearby laboratory (mainly Velociraptors), while also dealing with their creator Dr. Hyde (Corbin Bernsen). The film has since gone out of print and is largely considered to be the hardest film in the series to obtain, however, it can occasionally be seen on the Syfy channel.
The Eden Formula:
Released direct-to-video on September 1, 2006, Was directed by John Carl Buechler who did the special effects in the other Carnosaur films. The Eden Formula used recycled footage from the first three films, but also uses its own footage as well. Starring Jeff Fahey, Tony Todd and Dee Wallace. The plot revolves around a group of spies who accidentally release a cloned Tyrannosaurus onto the streets of Los Angeles.
***** no
are you deckor shado
***** yes
I remember watching this it's like a dinosaur horror movie from the nineties
4:57- Oh hey, people getting eaten inside a Jeep. Just like Jurassic Park!
Watching this in the year 2019. Decker is boss.
Same and true
Watching it in 2020.
Saphira Winters same
2020
2022 .. I’m now the best among you twits
👹🤣👹
Remember how the clamshells at Blockbuster used to say "You'll love it, guaranteed!"? I had to take them up on it after this one. This was before the days of Asylum of course.
Decker Shado There is actually a frog species that changes from female to male if all the males in the area die off.
the transgender frog
JonK The Lizardman So that’s what turns the frogs gay

That was a thing in the original Jurassic Park
Don't you see Decker! This is the future!
One day Chicken Mc Nuggets will turn into dinosaurs
Hey Decker! How I started watching you? I was just looking for reviews of classic movies like Starship trooper and you came up! I then notice the awesome hair and your magnetic personality! The review was Spot on everything about it was right on the money I really enjoyed that review so then I said, "lets see if he got any other good reviews and you did!" So far Decker Shado you're my favorite reviewer on youtube besides AJ because he does Raging game reviews lol I watch Chris and Jeremy and while they are entertaining for some reason I like you and your content a whole lot more! Keep up the good work oh and 1 more thing! I would luv if you reviewed old school games ^_^
Zelda Infinite Earths i found while looking for alien content. just a pointer the movie series
I can smell deckers shit off your nose .
Was 100% expecting this be an Asylum film about a dinosaur automobile hybrid 😂😂😂
Another great review as always! I say again, why you aren't famous is beyond me. Not only are you entertaining as hell, but I love how you correct scientific inaccuracies also. Something I've been known to do myself. Keep up the good work! I am sure it will pay off and get you somewhere. :)
Hey Decker,
Thanks for doing this series mate. I recall I requested this a while ago, so glad to see it now. Good job bro.
Cheers
Also fun relations facts:
-This film's villain is played by Diane Ladd, whose daughter was the female lead in Jurassic Park.
-Clint Howard has a small role in this movie. His niece was the female lead in Jurassic World.
Clint Howard (you should know who he is if you're a b movie fan ) is also Ron Howard's brother (the lead woman from Jurassic world is his daughter )
Ron Don Dadda G Yeah I know that. Howard also appears in his brother's movies like Apollo 13.
Dark Ram 39 ...duh...
You totally sold me on watching your Jurassic Park reviews. Solely based on the fact you know what Therapsids are. ; )
Interesting little tidbit. The Eunice corporation actually was a central (and evil) company in another Coreman produced feature. The 1990 film Brain Dead.
If you haven't seen it Decker I highly recommend it, as well as Frankenstein Unbound.
I remember this wackadoo movie the ending disturbed the hell out of me as a kid it was my first time watching a movie where both protagonist die and there is no happy ending
Wow! That was quick! Nice work Decker!
decker your so funny man every time i watch your videos i smile every time
Oh, hey, Carth Onasi! Or Kaiden Alenko. Both good.
Random reply 4 years later Kaiden is meh but Carths my boi.
I think I remember Fangora magazine declaring this movie to be "What Jurassic Park should have been!". True story!
Also: Who's watching this in 2020?
2023 bro
I see you have found and saw this...franchise....yes....welcome to the dinosaur mockbuster world Decker. nothing will prepare anything for the second or third one.
Nightvampirefear what about the old scifi movies?
no amount of preparation can prepare anyone for it. but people will try to prepare. at times succeed in a way. but most get ripped.
Nightvampirefear lol
4:43 as soon as i saw the teens getting drunk and driving above the allowed speed i instantly knew: "yeah you are dead".
+Marko Radokicik Friday the 13th has taught you well
@Decker Shado I think the girl was trying to act like she was going into shock, which can happen from rapid blood loss from losing a limb if a tourniquet isn't applied immediately
In reality...this was my first horror movie, since at a young age I became nerdy over dinosaurs...my family went to the old video rental store and it was in the good ol buy one get one free area. They picked it up, let me watch it...and despite being around three, I fucking loved it. I guess I must've understood it was fake or something, as despite all the gory and horrifying scenes (Fuck the jeep scene...) I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen
I remember this movie as looking very similar, as in copy and paste to another film, Raptor and it’s sequels looking the same to it’s own films.
20:15 regarding what u said about needing herbivores you’re correct
Maybe the plan was to do carnivores first to wipe out humanity then do herbivores, maybe in containment till they reach adulthood so they had somewhat a chance at survival
Even if it’s not stated what the plan was other than wiping out humanity with dinosaurs
ESCAPING ANGRY LOIS GRIFFIN
Another great and funny review of a movie I used to watch back on the late night Sci-Fi channel, waaaay before they changed it to SyFy. I have to say though, Carnosaur 2 is actually a true guilty pleasure of mine. Mainly because in my opinion it is like Aliens but with dinosaurs, granted I haven't seen it in a few years but I highly recommend at least a viewing of it.
I love your reviews.
you skipped the best line in the movie at 8:27, how could you
zack thomason Was a bit worried about the flow bogging down.. though yeah, I probably should have showcased that part a bit better.
6:39. Decker, was that a shot at Angry Joe?
It could be a shot at anyone really as it’s an overused trope popularized by AVGN(way back in 2004). Joe is honestly probably the last in line to use it.
The situation just got real.... Bust out the Coca-Cola
So, let see if I understand. In Carnosaur there is a Deinonychus and a T-rex but no Carnotaurus? Which I (wrongly)presumed is what the movie was named after
Thunder jumpscare spooked me
F̡ac͜e͡l̨e̶ss͟ Is that an actual thunderbolt or a sound effect?
When I found out it was based on a book, I went to check it out. Thing is like $100 on Amazon.
starfishsicko 😱
That's what libraries are for
This was definitely a weird kind of dinosaur movie. Would you ever consider review Tremors?
It still amazes me that all of this happened because Eunice CEO was dumb enough to sign that one idiotic contract.
It helps that you're almost a dead ringer for Weird Al, Shado.
I've seen this movie years ago and i thought i had dream this.
Nice work
Well, this movie sucks!! But great vid decker
@JurassicHero 3 A lot of movies in general are worse than Jurassic Park.
The only dino movie with a good plot and only 2 out of 5? Carnosaur is a classic!
god bless Roger coreman
Wait, Raphael Sbarge... as in the voice of Scorch in Star Wars: Republic Commando, Deadman in Justice League Unlimited and Professor Zei in Avatar?
This kind of reminds me of the dinosaur game torque
Here in my native Philippines, that movie was released in cinemas under the false title Dinosaur Park!
Heh, was hoping the NC would review this as some point, though, I enjoy your videos to, especially with he Aliens series.
I rememebr on the NC forums every one was suggesting to use the joke "he tried to kill me with a forklift."even though those are skid-loaders.
any movie that ends with Twist: they all die, is an automatic 0/5
Guys with flame throwers didn't die. Just all the characters up until then.
I think the movie was trying to show that one chained up hippie who got her legs torn off going into some sort of shock.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who questions the thunder at 0:53? Is that real or fake?
I saw a movie called raptor that used most of the dinosaur footage from this film
He also reviewed it
Jesus Ramirez Romo raptor Is an unofficial sequel in the carnosaur series
blood gunked buttons and stained film
Much like "The Eden formula"
My bad this was the movie responsible for my first boobs.
Someone please tell me how Gene Siskel gave this a thumbs up and Silence of the Lambs a thumbs down.
Siskel actually praised the goofy plot. I mean, from a So Bad, It's Good perspective sure, but that's like saying The Room is a good film because it's funny - it's plainly obviously that goofiness is not intended in either case.
That Ark reference made me smile.
OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIEEEEEEEEEE :O TILL NOW!!!
I find this movie amazing in his cheapness and silliness !
Agreed, it has a unique charm to it
You get a cookie for the Ark Survival Evolved pun. xD
It's so surreal that a Jurassic Park Mockbuster became 20 Years later a B Movie Cult Franchise
I actually praise this movie for calling the Raptors what they actually are, Deinonychus as far as their size goes for the species about 12ft long about 3ft tall, LOL still over exaggerated in this movie, but it's what they should have called the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park, seeing that real Velociraptors are actually roughly the size of a large turkey at about 1.5ft tall and barely 6ft long, bigger is always better I guess, and the name is just flat-out easier to pronounce for the masses, but neither of the actual Dinosaurs are remotely close to the almost 8ft tall 250lb dinosaurs featured in the movies.
Damn dude, don't you ever rest? Rest my good man. Rest.....
'Thrush' used to be a euphemism for gonorrhea. Gotta wonder how she got that name.
Oh my god I love this horrible movie such a guilty pleasure of mine. Do you plan on doing the squeals too? On a separate note do you have any plans for another "Let's play" series?
Christopher Fields I do have one of em, but I am not sure exactly where to fit the others just yet... and yes, I do plan to do a Let's Play of Alien Isolation.. and then, some other things.
Decker Shado You know if you read that to yourself in the voice of The Brain it sounds like a plot to "take over the world"
Agreed! I am very excited for dekers alien isolation walkthrough!
Hallelujah more dinosaur movie
Hey deker, when do you plan on playing "ALIEN ISOLATION"?
Nigel S. Likely going to start next week, over on my gaming channel. (Decker Shado Gaming)
Decker Shado
ok, thanks
i remember this movie from my childhood..............................it scared me to fucking death
well at least the way the dinosaurs are created is more realistic via reactivating dormant genes still though your only end up with at best an archaeopteryx like creature not a damn deinonychus or a t rex
I Hate Wildlife - 10/10 perfect phrase
I enjoyed this movie. I thought that the idea of the virus that makes women lay dinosaur eggs was a rather unique idea. Frankly the movie could've escalated even further if more dinos managed to hatch from those eggs. In the end, the movie is entertaining as a simple B-Dinosaur-Movie; not holding a candle to Jurassic Park, but pretty unique in its own right, and fun enough to watch..
Unfortunately, the Sequels to this movie got more and more lazy, to the point of Carnosaur 2 completely ripping-off the climax to this movie.
I wasn't the only one who noticed the Eunice Corporation in Brain Dead, right? Does that mean Brain Dead and Carnosaur take place in the same universe? Man, Roger Corman attempted a cinematic universe long before Marvel popularized it!
I can't believe the main guy is Kaidan Alenko... I watched the whole movie without picking it up. Even liked 'Doc'.
Is there a single movie that Clint Howard hasn't been in?
This is cool!
Nice review!
Now where is the alien isolation gameplay?
i have got jurassic world i have not watched it yet
The Carnosaur book is hilarious. Most of the dinosaurs kill because of sexual frustration, one thinks a semi truck horn is answering mating calls and ends up stepping out in front of the truck and gets killed. The book is fantastic compared to all the garbage of the movies. Also a lawsuit happened over how in Canosaur (which came out before JP) used chicken DNA to fill in the gaps of the dinosaurs and frog DNA used to fill in the gap so they stated theft or something
Hey, Decker. Been loving your reviews as of late. Just a quick one; was it my imagination, or did u post a vid of u & Creepy taking on that god-awful DBE movie, cause I saw it a couple of days ago, and now it's no longer on your channel.
Hoshi star Fox hit me with a copyright strike. Going through the appeal process as best I can, and getting a video up about that in a little bit.
Oh, damn. You can really have it rough sometimes can't u? Well, these sorts of things are sent to test us, so hang in there.
Was your mispronunciation of "Deinonychus" deliberate?
When Jurassic World comes out on DVD, can you review it?!
I'll admit Kinda Liked this one: it has a very Dour Tone even for a Horror movie which mix well with its high tech meet the south setting, and deep tint of Sexism. Sbarge and the rest of the cast is all pretty good and there is something creally creepy about Ladds Work and her death is pretty fantastic-so i think i would rate it higher. Your right to compare it to the assyulum but this assylum giving a little more shit.
8:09 is that the guy from critters
12:28 I do.
review "Beaster day" please
When you said Braindead, I couldn't tell if you meant Braindead or Braindead (a.k.a. Dead Alive.)
***** Braindead, 1990. Braindead (dead alive) is 1992.
Ah, that would make sense. Silly me...
I rented this as a kid.
I may have already done this but...... DI-NO-NEYE-KUS
Toby Kirkby No, it's pronounced Die non ikus.
You're both wrong. It's daɪˈnɒnᵻkəs
Luke Cy That's basically what I said, just diff characters. Same sound.
This movie is still better than those two crappy documentaries monsters restructured and Jurassic fight club
Good burn on NC
Hey! Carnosaur 2! review that one!
Dumping all the responsibility on the night crew as usual. I know that all to well.
It looks like a no budget movie from the 70s. What was the operating budget? A happy meal?
Was that dinosaurs howling as it died 😒🐺🤦😂
They seriously need to re-shoot shitty movie in theaters for a cheap price. I'm fairly sure there has to be an audience for these. Back in the days we had a small theater that projected older movies. Costed only 2.50$ per person and at that price it was risk free entertainment. Sometime they featured very bad knockoff and that is when I'd go spend my money there. Man, the shit I've been exposed to in that theater was prime quality. Laughed my ass off everytime I had that chance.
Seeing a bad movie is one thing. Seeing it on a giant ass screen with ludicrously loud volume is even better. Sharknado also proved that making a bad movie ON PURPOSE can totally works out.
Hey Decker, could you review 'Planet Terror'?
Cambrian Park: AGGGGHH Trilobytes!
Ark reference hell yeah
