Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)

Thanks for the memories!

Really Surprised!

Fantastic!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A monstrously bizarre movie that I loved for some reason. First of all, it looks like some kind of kids film. I guessed Denise Richards would find a dinosaur egg, raise it, the government would want it etc. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was a mid-nineties Frankenstein, filled with adult themes handled in an immature way. Richards ex- boyfriend is an obsessive violent freak, that has no regard for the law. To the point where he leaves Walker in a safari park where he is savagely attacked by a lion. An evil scientist then kidnaps the body (after announcing Walker dead), and puts Walker's brain in a robotic dinosaur. He escapes, kills out of anger, before remembering his love for Richards. Yes, this is terrible, but due to some of its twists and turns, it's just compelling. Richards has a gay best friend that is the son of the sheriff. Some of the other police in town ridicule him behind his back with homophobic comments. When they go to find Walker body to put the brain back in, they find it decayed and rotted, with maggots everywhere. When they look for an alternative body at the morgue, Richards checks out the cadavers penis size to see if she would approve. The kills are often quite violent, before being played for comedy. A man is flattened, and is later rolled up like a poster. It climaxes with a bizarre "climax" (wink,wink) which you must see to truly appreciate. This is honestly like a person tricking his way into your affections so that he can corrupt your kids. It's too dark for them, but too childish for you. Kind of like Michael Jackson.

I can not agree with the person who posted here saying that the film makers knew that they were making a bad film and that we should be in on the joke and enjoy it. This film should stand as the very definition of hack filmaking. This film is bizzare, disturbing, poorly acted, terribly directed and astonishingly un-funny. Watching Terry Kiser crack horribly lame one liners while murdering a comatose teenage boy is like viewing a Carol Burnett skit from hell. This film is fascinating in the same way a major automobile accident is. Denise Richards looks incredible as always but, her poor acting here and in the box office and critical disaster 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' are examples of why she has quickly fallen off the radar. On a positive note, I think the Dinosaur looked top notch and the special effects were very good.

I've seen alot of cheesy, bizarre, inexplicable movie scenes, but I've never seen anything that tops the ending of this movie: Denise Richards doing a striptease for a disembodied brain in a salad bowl. The rest of the movie is inexplicably bad, but that one scene alone is worth the price of a rental. I'd suggest fast-forwarding through the rest of it. And by the way, I plan to hold my breath until Terry Kiser makes a comeback.

Okay, I turn on the TV, and I see Paul Walker and Denise Richards, and think, "Ooh, this might not be bad." Then I see the dinosaur and think, "Dude, this is pretty f*cked up right here..." but god, if I didn't get sucked in...I found myself running from room to room, trying to make sure I didn't miss anything. I even found myself cheering for the dinosaur by the end. So basically, I would never watch this again, but it was confusing enough to keep my drawn in for the one showing.
