Wierd/Curios Books & Media

Does anybody know anything about a show/movie called "Super Giant Monsters Attack" (I might be a little off on the title)

It looks to be Japenese in origin and has man in the rubber suite for the special effects.  I saw a short clip of it on youtube of a GIANT styracosaurus destroying a city.  It looked ineresting but after doing a some further digging I got some conflicting information, is this an old TV show or a movie?

The title reminds me of Godzilla: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, also Japanese, from 2001. It features Godzilla and a host of other giant monsters (men in suits) thrashing cities and each other. One of them, Baragon, kinda resembles a Styracosaurus. But I assume this is a different film? Let's face it, Japanese movie history is swarming with films like this.

It sounds like another Japanese thing I saw once. It was originally a TV show that was edited together into a movie and dubbed for Western release. In it, giant sentient dinosaurs came from under the earth to destroy humanity. The weird thing is that while the dinosaurs were men in suits, the human protagonists were animated, so the show switched between live-action sequences of spaceships and rampaging dinosaurs to anime.

I remember that it was also rather violent. The alleged good guys defeat a Stegosaurus by ripping off its plates and then tunnelling through it.

Original would be Aizenborg or Koseidon. Haven't watched it myself, however.

I saw that on VHS once, it was called 'Dino Catcher Born Free'. Weird, weird show...

Wow, that is weird stuff!  Yeah the link posted above was the clip I was talking about.  I found a related clip where a ship used a buzz saw to chop off an arm of an allosaur!  The ship then proceeded to freeze the allosaur ala Han solo in carbonite.  The allosaur was later released by the styracosaur via his flame breath!

Of course, whenever there's dinosaurs in the Marvel Universe they're imported from the Savage Land. 

I take it Sauron was involved too then? He's always there when the Savage Land is used, and he's a curious dinosaur related figure by himself:

Hope, no mention of him.

[Brontozaurus]

That clip is definitely what I was talking about.

A friend of mine couldn't believe that it came from Japan, because according to him Japan can Do No Wrong.

At last I can show my video, because there is a "weird media" thread here!

Okay, here is a delicacy especially for our members who understand German.
It´s me discussing the origin of birds on myvideo. The video is quite old, and it was fun.

OK, its about time we get this topic up and running again.

Right now, i am reading a book called Z-Rex.  Its about a boy, whos father is a scientist that trys to invent an ultra reality video game in an apartment in New Mexico. One day, his dad tells him that he is going to be away, so he leaves his son (whos only 13) to live in the apartment. However as the days go by, he gets a visit from a stranger who suposibly was sent from his dad to check on him. then days later, something huge, attacks the apartment. We later find out that it was a Genetically engenerd T-Rex, that has longer arms with human like hands, and a back that tucks away a pair of Dragon like wings. The creators of this beast called it a Z-Rex, and later, the boy ends up travalling with the monster to find his father while being chased by secret agents.     
(it turns out, the guy who checked up on the boy was one of these agents)
Its a good book, if you take it for what it is

This thread is far too cool to keep lying dormant. Hopefully people will notice it again and continue posting interesting media with dinosaur appearances.

Found something!!!

Take this link to a preview for a movie called
New Journey At the Earths Core.

It looks really bad (even worse than Queen kong!)
BUT there are claymation dinos in it!

Rise of the Planet of the World War Z. rex

I once saw a "documentary" that was full of made up junk.

Pterosaurs had "infrared urine vision" to find Dino nests.

Parasaurolophus' crest could make enough noise to hurt theropods

T Rex's teeth were sharp enough to slice trike flesh (which was said to be very soft)

Triceratops' frill was a indestructible plate.

And the best part, raptors talked with hand signals!

I don't remember the name, but I think discovery made it, so I'm not surprised. This is the same people who made a "documentary" (actually two) about mermaids. And another about living megalodons!

That would have been "Clash of the Dinosaurs". Pretty horrible.

The following parodies sum up why they're both very bad. The only thing that might make CofD worse than JFC is the quote-mining.
