long and cheesy animated dinosaur battle which makes Gumby look like 'Jurassic Park. This was a quote from one of the reviewers, who I am assuming, saw in the trivia section of this title, read that the dinosaur sequence was made by Willis O'brien and Ray Harryhausen together for an Irwin Allen movie. If that reviewer knows this fact, then I can honor his 'cheezy' description, but I gotta tell ya, it's a sad state of affairs when someone can't appreciate the fun of a movie like this. There are two reasons why I absolutely deride the word 'cheeze'. One, it is the name of a bootlegging company that puts out trash. Two, the name connotes a person under 30 who hasn't lived enough life to comment on it, who still lives in their parent's basement, and who can't look beyond their noses to the real 'so bad it's good' beauty of cinema past. I come from a background of loving them, since I was a loyal customer of BACKTRACK Video and Records in Seattle Wa, which specialized in Psychotronic movies, classic sci fi and horror from the '50s and '60s.
