How cruel humans are... Can´t they see that those poor reptilians only needed a wee-wee in the jungle behind them (the nearest toilet around)? Just see the typical pee-dance that those dinos perform... And finally, one of them cannot stand it any longer. Well, just the human being and his abusive attitude towards animals.
When the dino falls over, that was actually because the actor inside the rubber suits were so incredibly hot, one just passed out during filming...and they just left it in!!
This clip should be titled: "Hunting dinosaurs for fun and profit." Those dinos looked as if they had arthritis. Man, what Hollywood didn't know about dinosaurs in the late 1940s. Thank goodness for Ray Harryhausen!
@mistaglasses Yes. I saw a documentary about it. But they STILL put it in the film because it was "okay" and that people would think that the monster died of the shots, the people were shooting.
I give the creators an A for effort. I'm sure this was awesome at the time. Audiences had never seen anything like this before. The dinosaurs do come off as vicious and creepy. But, why do they sound like screaming chimpanzees?
Saw this on a Discovery Channel special years ago. The Ceratosaurus that falls down at 0:18 was actually footage of the guy in the suit fainting. It was very hot when they filmed this, and I guess they improvised and used the film for showing a dinosaur getting killed. Classic comedy. :)
At 0:17 , the actor in the dino suit actually wasnt acting when he fell over. He actaully fainted because of extreme heat exaustion, and died a day later. Seriously, look it up!
@TheSonomaDude, That could be a true story, however, I thought you meant he fell over on accident and wasn't supposed to fall down during the scene. According to the action on the screen, the dinosaur fell over dead because it was shot at several times.
i saw a documentary once called dinomania u no the dinosaure that fell over and was suppost to have died he wasnt intended to do that in the making of the film at that time it was over 130 degrees on site and the guy that was in the dino suit fell unconcious from heat stroke so they desided to leave it in
That is by far the worst suitmation I have ever seen. Even the cheapest Japanese TV monsters look more realistic. Hell, even Reptilicus looks more realistic.
Are those T-Rexs pissing on or what? Just look at their so-close knees and legs, and their "peculiar dancing" not moving from where they are... until one of them cannot stand it any more. Anyway, excellent images in colour, while later movies still were in black and white. Magnificent results despite the poor sourcs they might´ve had at those times.
Wow, this was the first monster movie I ever saw! I was six or seven years old (this was in 1948) and I believed everything was real! Now, 60 years later, those distance shots are still pretty good! I remember my father reassuring me, bless his heart. Thanks for posting this.
That dinosaur falling over was actually when one of the guys in the dinosaur costumes passed out because of the heat. They found a way of inserting that shot in the movie.
to do that would mean pretty much doing this movie exactly as it is seen here. More or less just a remastered version ade in the present day. Besides there's enough films in the world where "scientists" shoot at animals weither or not they are an immediate danger to themselves or not. This is a movie best left alone or at least mocked by the MST3K crew. Lord knows it deserves it.
@NUTCASE71733 Well id kiss you but im sure you wouls slap me only cause i lost this films name i tried to find it again and i couldnt than you commmonted my commiont but yea it looks very good for its time i realy dont know how they mad it in 1948 when was colour TV dude and also did anyone famouse make and star in the film lilke notasible stars like Marlyon Monroe just used jer as an example i know she wasent in it
Of course she wasn't in it, she died years before 1977. And I do hope that's sarcasm because this movie's effects suck, even by 40s standards. They really could have done better, even if it was a TV movie. They just didn't care.
@NUTCASE71733 I know she wasent in it i a big fan of hers i just looked at the cast list and asked if there was anyone as Famouse as her in it lol another Icon or are they just basic for gotton actors and Nope graphics in this are good have you seen or heard of Terror on Lock Ness 1981 it uses the same effects and is one of the wost movies ever made lol I respect this cause it was a head of its Time im not saying recomnd this to the world lol It more a Personaly Plesure
Rubber costumes ahead of it's time? Not really. There were movies in the 30s that used elaborate costumes and more often than not they sucked too. Claymation, AKA Stop-motion animation would have worked far better for this movie as the dinosaurs would have at least MOVED as opposed to lumbered about like drunken morons.
Opinion is one thing but that thought is....there's no word to describe it! How can you picture people in suits being better than stop-moton animation for dinosaurs?! As cheesey as the old claymation dinos were at least they could move without falling down or looking like they have to take a leak! This movie is crap, and it should be featured on Rifftrax or at least Ceinamatic Titanic because ths clip alone shows how loathsome it is.
I remember that in this film one of the funniest lines I have ever heard got muttered. The guy in the black hat and suit sneaks up on a lady in the woods and says "whats the matter? Jungle Frighten ya?' Hilarious. I wish that part was on youtube.
Got any more clips? This is a weird movie. I saw it on TV back around 1958-59, and as much as I loved dino movies, this one spooked me. For a low-budget production is was pretty good.
No, Kirlian196, you're very wrong, Stan Winston is gonna have his place even better than Ray Harryhausen, and The Dinosaurs In Jurassic Park Do Look Real.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No CGI is much better than stop-motion and suit mation. And No Godzilla (The Old Ones) still don't look like the t-rexes in Jurassic Park. Much Better the ones in Jurassic Park are.
Stop motion has its place. CGI is an improvement but when it's overdone it's a zero sum game. Ray Harryhausen will go down as a pioneer. Stan Winston not so much. The saurians in JP did not look that real.
I still like suitimation and stop motion better than CGI. They just look more realistic (if done properly but I also love the cheezy ones) rather than something out of a bad computer game. It doesn't match the look of the film if you add something that isn't even there to begin with.
you know what sucks? the sequal, raptor planet. Raptor island, as far as i remember, had FX that rivaled Jurassic Park, but I saw it a long time ago. last time it was on Sci-fi, I was like 6.
I saw aztec rex when It premiered the Sci-Fi channel. It had its flaws, but overall, was a great movie. Its based on a partly true story, did you know that? Aztec or Myan artifacts were found in the shape of dinosaurs, suggesting those people knew about dinosaurs, which history says they shouldnt have.
Its true. Its either, thousands of years ago in mexico, humans and dinosaurs were living together, OR (and probably the more reasonable choice) the objects are either good fakes, or a very strange coincidence.
I thought the dino in Aztec Rex looked horrible though. I agree there's some great CGI out there, but Jurassic Park is a rare case in how real the dinos looked. Even Primeval, which I love, has some sketchy CGI occasionally. All F/X lose their impact when we get used to them and realize how to spot them.
Well, I guess we all have our own opinions. But I agree. CGI is only useful when done and used right. It just looks better when there is actually something in front of the camera. Jurassic park used CGI only when needed. They even had animotronic dinos. Pretty cool. Those guys knew how to use CGI.
I absolutely agree that the biggest trick is knowing when to use which method. Sci-fi movies and TV series don't always have the option to mix methods from a budget standpoint.
Thats true, but if you can't, improvise. The movie Godzilla wanted to use stop-motion like King Kong, but didn't have the time or budget. They made a 200lb monster suit, and it turned out to be one of the greatest monsters of all time. So if done right, it can be a really good movie.
What tripped me out about Raptor Island is that I've seen video games from the late 90's that had better dinosaur effects than that.. I think they spent a hundred dollars on those FX..
As a baby boomer you had to go along with this then.They did not have all of this high tecno stuff with computers and things like they do today!This is all they had back then .All of that other stuff came as the years advanced on. Its easy to look back at this and laugh,but who would have thought that we would have the things we have now!
I agree. This is still far better than anything I could ever create. A marvel in it's day! I respect and appreciate these types of effects in the older films. Without them we wouldn't have what we do today.
Sorry about switching the last two posts!!! Still I'd love to be the guy that can still tell people how he "passed out from the HEAT in a movie and they LIKED it so much...they left it in!!" A nice "charm" about t-rex's using guys in bad suits!!!
When they were shooting this...one guy passed out from the heat and fell "right on his face!!!"...this lookd so "GOOD" they left it in the final movie and that's the one you see "die" here!!! TRUE story!!
Okay!! I have a friend in Hollywood that KNOWS the history of LOTS of films made in the 40's-70's and more!!! Bob Burns.
Well he told me about this scene posted here and here's the true (and "funny") story!!...
They shot the scenes of these guys in the dinasaur suits out in the dessert near the LA area...even if it was the "cool" time of the year...it was still "HOT" in those latex or whatever suits!!!!!
This is one of the only dinosaur pictures made in the 1940s. It was a quickie, focusing on a man and a woman who head up an expedition to an island to investigate strange creatures seen from the air during WWII. The movie has some of the worst dinosaur effects ever committed to film: models being pulled by strings through miniature jungle scenes; and, seen here, men in suits limping through the desert. Although, for the time, the special effects were almost fascinating.
No, CGI looks very real, the only reason CGI looks a bit weird sometimes is because people don't work hard on making it look real & good. But also it's not scary because it looks realistic, Dinosaurs weren't really scary, they were Animals, Just like Lions, Tigers, Us & Birds. These old movies portray Dinosaurs, even Leaf Eaters as vicious Kill for pleasure creatures that only want to eat you & terrorize places. Dinosaurs weren't this terrible, but no CGI does look scary, The T-Rex chase in JP.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, Rubber Costumes Look So Fake, like This. Look @ Jurassic Park & see how real The Dinosaurs Look, they even behave like Dinosaurs might have really Behaved. This is for Cowards who are too scared of the monsters looking real that they don't want the monsters to look any more real & scary then their Turkey Sandwich. CGI is the best, Honestly! Why do you guys try to Avenge Stop_Motion, Rubber Costumes & Other Old-Movie Technology as if it had been brutally murdered. Its time has passed. time
Hmm, I don't know. CGI doesn't really scare me, either. And I don't want to avenge anything. I just uploaded this video, because it seemed like a good idea, and because everybody can have a good laugh at those silly dinosaurs and their awkward faltering. :)
@Jynkei You are right. Compare the original "The Fog "with the remake.I would hate it if someone remade C.H.U.D. and made the CHUDS with CG.I feel bad for people who did not grow up with these classic movies.All the new superhero movies like Spiderman and The Incredible Hulk etc look awful to me.
@Stravinktyklow What the heck are you talking about!!?CG has totally ruined Sci Fi etc! CG looks glossy and not solid! Can you imagine if the first Star Wars or Alien or Close Encounters of ... or John Carpenters The Thing had been done with CG.That new Battlesrar Galactica series is so horrible with the CG!
@Stravinktyklow wel first of all this movie is not stop motion second stop motion too me looks way cooler than cgi and third i just like stopmotion better because its more fun plus cgi is not scary. STOP MOTION RULES.
@Firebrdsuite If it weren't for stop motion, puppets, robots, makeup, or guys in rubber latex suits. Cgi wouldn't be around today even though some cgi is complete shit sometimes like the syfy channel's crap. I personally think the movies from the 1920's through the 1980's have better effects and movies than today's cgi bull shit movies. Remember this is my opinion you may not agree with my opinion but you can NOT stop me from having my own opinion.
No, Rubber Costumes Look So Fake, like This. Look @ Jurassic Park & see how real The Dinosaurs Look, they even behave like Dinosaurs might have really Behaved. This is for Cowards who are too scared of the monsters looking real that they don't want the monsters to look any more real & scary then their Turkey Sandwich. CGI is the best, Honestly! Why do you guys try to Avenge Stop_Motion, Rubber Costumes & Other Old-Movie Technology as if it had been brutally murdered. Its time has passed. time

I agree, raptor island had some pretty bad effects. And the "dead" people were just a pair of boots with a blood puddle around them.

What tripped me out about Raptor Island is that I've seen video games from the late 90's that had better dinosaur effects than that.. I think they spent a hundred dollars on those FX..

As a baby boomer you had to go along with this then.They did not have all of this high tecno stuff with computers and things like they do today!This is all they had back then .All of that other stuff came as the years advanced on. Its easy to look back at this and laugh,but who would have thought that we would have the things we have now!

I agree. This is still far better than anything I could ever create. A marvel in it's day! I respect and appreciate these types of effects in the older films. Without them we wouldn't have what we do today.

Sorry about switching the last two posts!!! Still I'd love to be the guy that can still tell people how he "passed out from the HEAT in a movie and they LIKED it so much...they left it in!!" A nice "charm" about t-rex's using guys in bad suits!!!

Cont...
When they were shooting this...one guy passed out from the heat and fell "right on his face!!!"...this lookd so "GOOD" they left it in the final movie and that's the one you see "die" here!!! TRUE story!!

Okay!! I have a friend in Hollywood that KNOWS the history of LOTS of films made in the 40's-70's and more!!! Bob Burns.
Well he told me about this scene posted here and here's the true (and "funny") story!!...
They shot the scenes of these guys in the dinasaur suits out in the dessert near the LA area...even if it was the "cool" time of the year...it was still "HOT" in those latex or whatever suits!!!!!
(see next post!)

This is one of the only dinosaur pictures made in the 1940s. It was a quickie, focusing on a man and a woman who head up an expedition to an island to investigate strange creatures seen from the air during WWII. The movie has some of the worst dinosaur effects ever committed to film: models being pulled by strings through miniature jungle scenes; and, seen here, men in suits limping through the desert. Although, for the time, the special effects were almost fascinating.

No, CGI looks very real, the only reason CGI looks a bit weird sometimes is because people don't work hard on making it look real & good. But also it's not scary because it looks realistic, Dinosaurs weren't really scary, they were Animals, Just like Lions, Tigers, Us & Birds. These old movies portray Dinosaurs, even Leaf Eaters as vicious Kill for pleasure creatures that only want to eat you & terrorize places. Dinosaurs weren't this terrible, but no CGI does look scary, The T-Rex chase in JP.

No, Rubber Costumes Look So Fake, like This. Look @ Jurassic Park & see how real The Dinosaurs Look, they even behave like Dinosaurs might have really Behaved. This is for Cowards who are too scared of the monsters looking real that they don't want the monsters to look any more real & scary then their Turkey Sandwich. CGI is the best, Honestly! Why do you guys try to Avenge Stop_Motion, Rubber Costumes & Other Old-Movie Technology as if it had been brutally murdered. Its time has passed. time

Hmm, I don't know. CGI doesn't really scare me, either. And I don't want to avenge anything. I just uploaded this video, because it seemed like a good idea, and because everybody can have a good laugh at those silly dinosaurs and their awkward faltering. :)

@Jynkei You are right. Compare the original "The Fog "with the remake.I would hate it if someone remade C.H.U.D. and made the CHUDS with CG.I feel bad for people who did not grow up with these classic movies.All the new superhero movies like Spiderman and The Incredible Hulk etc look awful to me.

@Stravinktyklow What the heck are you talking about!!?CG has totally ruined Sci Fi etc! CG looks glossy and not solid! Can you imagine if the first Star Wars or Alien or Close Encounters of ... or John Carpenters The Thing had been done with CG.That new Battlesrar Galactica series is so horrible with the CG!
Thermionman1970 1 year ago
@Stravinktyklow wel first of all this movie is not stop motion second stop motion too me looks way cooler than cgi and third i just like stopmotion better because its more fun plus cgi is not scary. STOP MOTION RULES.

@Firebrdsuite If it weren't for stop motion, puppets, robots, makeup, or guys in rubber latex suits. Cgi wouldn't be around today even though some cgi is complete shit sometimes like the syfy channel's crap. I personally think the movies from the 1920's through the 1980's have better effects and movies than today's cgi bull shit movies. Remember this is my opinion you may not agree with my opinion but you can NOT stop me from having my own opinion.
