 13. Massacre in Dinosaur Valley (1985)
 

A film which causes the viewer to ask many interesting questions, such as “what massacre?”, and “while we’re at it, what dinosaurs?”, and “come to think of it…. what valley??”

As opposed to Neon Maniacs (1986) which just makes people ask "What?"

According to legend the makers of Neon Maniacs ran into financial difficulties halfway through shooting and filming was put on hold for months. When they continued most of the stuff they had in mind didn't make it into the film including scenes to fill in the plot holes.
They rush-finished Neon Maniacs for a scheduled theatrical release even though it was still unfinished, unfortunately. I still love this movie though.

Only 11/50 for me - I've got a lot of work to do! If this means anything though, I've seen the two Bigfoot movies on the list about 20 times each?

No shame in it; there isn't one I've seen that I can remember.  Now ORGY OF THE DEAD I won't forget!   Lookingup

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
