I used to watch this all the time when they played it on USA Network. I always loved the guy who tried to steal the eggs and wound up getting impaled on the horn of a Styracosaurus.
I love that part! I especially like that he fires a laser at the dinosaur beforehand and misses it by a freakin' mile.
I first saw this wonderful film at a friend's house while it was on in the background as we played chess. For some reason I think we were drinking whisky, or at least one of my friends was, I dunno, but I was sold on
Planet of Dinosaurs from the very start of the show. It's a well-intentioned film, and as others have pointed out the stop-motion work is very cool, but it's all so goofy. The music's weird, too.
I have the Goodtimes DVD and I've been wary of the newer one after finind out they "enhanced" the special effects. I guess I should get it, anyway.
