A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
THE FAMILY MOVIE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING AGES FOR!
A young boy and his family embark on a series of adventures when the boy finds mysterious eggs which hatch to reveal a brood of baby dinosaurs.
A fun kids movie released on Charles Band's Moonbeam Entertainment, a family-orientated imprint of his Full Moon Features.
So in the same year, this kid made a b-movie and Last Action Hero ๐คฏ
Never heard of it but I watched the trailer just now, and wow, those effects really hold up (within the scope of what they were capable of and aiming for). I'd rather watch this tier of action figure effects work than marvel CGI any day.
It's also supremely underrated because it is a meta commentary about action movies 10 years before "meta narrative" was a discussion in film schools. Last Action Hero is a great deconstruction of 80s action movies by the director who was responsible for some epic action movies himself, like Die Hard and Predator, so it feels like a reflection on his career.
Arnold is also at the start of his speaking roles and isn't afraid of being campy with the material, like Kindergarten Cop and Twins. It's like a hidden gem of firsts in a movie that understands itself and doesn't take itself seriously, like when Arnold's character meets Arnold Schwarzenegger the actor.
Chucky Dance is singularly mesmerizing every time he is on screen. It makes sense why this killer with charisma can away with murder.
All around an excellent and hidden gem of the 90s.
Are you writing about Last Action Hero, or Prehysteria?
It reads a bit like Bart Simpson's report on maize
I honestly get a weird LLM vibe from it.
Another comment here is about Last Action Hero so I think they just responded to the wrong comment.

Same! ๐๐ป
Holy core memory Batman! I was obssesed with dinosaurs as a kid and I watched this movie hundreds of times.
