Carnosaur (1993)
Nomination Year: 2006
SYNOPSIS: Remember how a couple years ago we did Raptor, a 2001 Roger
Coreman movie about dinosaurs rampaging through Nevada? Well,
Carnosaur is a 1993 Roger Coreman movie about dinosaurs rampaging
through Nevada. Instead of the sheriff and a medical examiner
vs. evil scientist Corbin Bernsen, it's a night watchman and an
eco-protester vs. evil scientist Diane Ladd. Aside from that,
it's the same movie. Literally. Many of the supporting
characters are played by the same actors and much of the footage
in Raptor is actually recycled Carnosaur footage. Remember Lyle,
Corbin Bernsen's assistant who announced he was going to the
government, but went to feed the dinosaurs one last time? Well,
this time he's Jesse and his beef is that one of the teenagers
killed in the desert (at the beginning of Raptor and the middle
of Carnosaur) was his daughter. This time he's lured into the
basement to see his daughter's body. I'd tell you about the
lasers getting turned off and the chase and all that, but you've
already seen it. Same with the kids in the desert, the deputy
sheriff (he's the sheriff this time), the poultry truck driver,
etc.
