Plot
The movie is about American men building a harbour on a Caribbean Island when they accidentally uncover two dinosaurs that have been frozen in suspended animation for millions of years. They are a Brontosaurus (correctly Apatosaurus) and a Tyrannosaurus rex. Tyrannosaurus ( or, meaning 'tyrant lizard' is a Genus of Theropod Dinosaur. One night, during a storm, the beasts are struck by lightning and come alive. The islanders have no idea that the dinosaurs have actually been alive and because of the storm are now roaming the island. Also awoken is a caveman (played by Gregg Martell) who befriends Julio, an island boy, and along with the Brontosaurus get into a series of wacky misadventures, which lead to the death of the Brontosaurus and the caveman. Meanwhile the islanders have found refuge from the Tyrant Lizard King by hiding in the old fortress, which is protected by a ring of burning fuel. To ensure the Tyrannosaurus does not get in, the hero Bart (played by Ward Ramsey) drives out to face the beast in a mechanical digger. The two duel on the edge of an island cliff and, after a tense fight, the Tyrannosaurus is knocked into water, ending the island terror. The film ends with a picture of the apparently dead Tyrannosaurus on the sea bed, with 'THE END' followed by '?' superimposed. Even thought the movie ended with a question mark there was, so far, no sequel.
