I saw posters for this thing in about half of the dinky small-town video rental joints I went into during my mid-adolescent years, and even later. One store had posters for what appeared to be every low-budget direct-to-video kid-flick plastered over the wall in the back.
This is Full Moon, they invested "a lot" of money into cheap-ass little animatronic dinosaurs, they're gonna use 'em till they drop. Those sort of things have a very limited shelf-life anyway, even if they're only in storage.
That's a sequel I'd love to see. That family is obnoxious. I like the big fat thug's reaction to being headbutted though. He seems to think about it a second, then he's all, You can't--! and then he realizes he should fall down.
It's more wince inducing than I imagined. Take this choice line: "Say howdy! You just got kissed on the tush by the king!" Sounds like Troma film dialog, or terrible porn.
