      Audience Member his movie went into production before Carnosaur was even done. That's how it works in Corman world, because this was going to be a big direct to video success. It's still Aliens with dinosaurs and ends the same way as the first one, as a T. Rex battles a forklift. What starts as a nuclear meltdown turns into a storage facility packed with cloned dinosaurs. Along the way, you'll see the boom mic, tape marks on the floor and puppeteers in frame, but the dinosaurs are a little better as the team had a week of post-production this time. Director Louis Morneau also made some other sequels, like Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead and The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting. Michael Palmer, who wrote it, also was behind another Corman sequel, Watchers III. You can make fun of these down and dirty sequels all you want, but the crew worked 16 hour days for 18 days in a row, which is a huge effort to deliver a movie under budget and way ahead of expectations. So if some things go wrong, well, so be it. It's incredible that any movie gets made. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member watch the end, that is it Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member again, I don't see where all the hate comes from, this was a good dino flick Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member While Carnosaur 2 is nothing great but it's better than the first, it is still a fun to watch low budget Dino creature feature. The plot of Carnosaur 2 is about a group of technicians who are sent to this underground mine facility whom which they find more than a power outage they find killer dinosaurs who kill them off one by one, carnosaur 2 has some same plot elements loosely based off from Aliens(yes that movie) such as the kid from the beginning who was the only survivor,a scene in which a raptor kills a woman in a helicopter etc. For a low budget film Carnosaur 2 has decent special effects done by once again John Buechler,and has a decent story. But I can't recommend this film to anyone because one this film both on VHS and DVD are both very hard to find and two this may not be everyone's cup of tea. Anyway carnosaur 2 is not a great movie but it is still enjoyable Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I still think a dinosaur would be able to take out heavy duty equipment, sorry Roger Corman. T rexy would destroy that forklift/loader thing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member almost as good as the first one but it got a little lazy at the end when they used stock footage of the t Rex from the first one Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is It is such a rip-off that and so badly made, but with such drama it truly becomes a “so-bad-it’s-good” film. It’s highly entertaining in its unoriginality and would be a fantastic drinking game. Take a shot whenever you remember the scene from Aliens. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Not far removed from the original ... at all.
