The DVD was distributed by Fred Olen Ray on eBay for a short time, as Amazon couldn't get it together to list the offerings. The DVD cover mentions that this is the first legal DVD release. There is a new audio commentary with Fred Olen Ray, Jim Wynorski and Richard Gabai and even a removed scene. The picture quality is quite good, comparable to the old US laserdisc. Since the original negative is lost, they had to resort to Tape Elements. Uncut, the film is now available in the US from Fred Olen Ray's label Retromedia. The VHS served as the basis for various bootleg releases. The US VHS by New Horizons Video was cut down by some action scenes and additionally the sex scene between Skeemer and April was shortened a bit. Dinosaur Island is exquisite dino trash at its finest. But as soon as Wayne gets into the prehistoric whirlpool with pretty May and shows her page 34 of the Playpen magazine discovered by Skeemer, everything is forgotten. Logic is lacking from start to finish, and the question arises as to how the women on the island can reproduce without men. The film is excused for not even bothering to show the plane crash or the fact that one of the dinos was copied into the film as a hand puppet. The plot, wildly cobbled together from set pieces from other genre films, is punctuated by flippant dialogue, crude effects and plenty of naked breasts. This masterpiece is directed by Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski, two experts in this kind of films, who actually managed to create the most entertaining film possible with simple means. What is meant here is not so much the dinosaurs that come to life, because they are sometimes done a bit too cheaply, but rather the big breasts of the wild women, which they willingly present when they are introduced to the high art of love by the soldiers or simply splash each other with water in the lake. Dinosaur Island, produced by Roger Corman, tries to swim on the same dinosaur wave, but tries to put the appropriate show values on the screen as cheaply as possible.
DINOSAUR ISLAND 1994 DVD SERIES
Besides Spielberg's Jurassic Park, which certainly played a big part in the boom, there was Carnosaurus, Tammy and the Teenage T-Rex, Theodore Rex, Prehysteria! or the Dinosaurs TV series to name just a few examples. In the 90's, dinosaurs were the big theme in movies and television. The leader Morgana has little interest in the intruders and orders their death, but Skeemer's smiley tattoo fits perfectly with an ancient prophecy according to which strange men will appear to kill the largest of the dinosaurs, which periodically demands fresh virgins.
Briggs surrenders and the women lead him to their camp. When the injured Buzz is attacked and eaten by a dinosaur, the men are helped by a group of women who manage to chase the monster away. Healey and his colleague Buzz, wants to bring the three soldiers Turbo, Wayne and Skeemer in a plane to a court martial, the plane crashes and the soldiers are stranded on an island inhabited by prehistoric dinosaurs.
Jason Briggs has an incredible story to tell.
