Warning: Spoilers
So Cortes and a small band of Spaniards plan to steal from a tribe of half a dozen Hawaiian Aztecs who have a bad CGI T Rex and a megalomaniac shaman on hand to generate some random slaughter. There are some love triangle shenanigans going on involving the psycho shaman, one of the Spaniards, and a very freckly Hawaiian Aztec princess, the latter two of whom indulge in a swift knee-trembler at the most inopportune moment.

That deals with the plot.

I do not understand how a tribe so small (half the members of which have been killed by the end of the film) manages to survive.

The scenery is lush and gorgeous.

The CGI would have been better if even a slight attempt had been made to integrate the T Rex with the background. The blood round the T Rex's mouth alternates between red and greeny-brown.

The cast are all thoroughly committed, although the shaman chews the scenery somewhat - he might as well have a sign reading "VILLAIN" hanging round his neck.

The slaughter - of which there is plenty - is hilariously over the top.

In short, this film is everything you might expect a movie called Tyrannosaurus Azteca (aka Aztec Rex) to be.
