What is Dinosaurus?The answer is not in this movie.

This movie was totally ridiculous yet somehow still good. For reasons never explained, people are blowing up the shoreline of a island that never gets named.Then a woman(who we later find out is the girlfriend of the foreman) comes into the harbor in a row boat. She was out in the ocean in this tiny thing "getting food" and decided to just sail right into the blasting zone. There's lots of white people failing miserably at attempting Hispanic accents, one even sounds french. The real question is why would Pacific islanders have Hispanic accents? So anyway, the blasting uncovers two perfectly preserved dinosaurs. Somehow a brontosaurus and a T-Rex died right next to each other and never decayed. So they drag the dinosaurs onto the beach, ask the town drunk to watch them, and then leave. Oh did i mention the island has an "island manager" and he's evil? And he's not even really in charge, the island governor is but he's away. And of course the manager has some little boy who is not his son that he is raising. The manager finds a caveman because that makes perfect sense.Then a lightning bolt splits in two and hits both dinosaurs and they come back to life. Somehow the caveman comes to life and then we are forced to watch him figure out the hi-tech life of a 1950's third world country, for a long time. Luckily the caveman knows all about dinosaurs and can ride them, probably because they didn't exist at the same time. The story makes no sense(What is the Dinosaurus??) but it's not terrible. Give it a shot.
