Planet of Dinosaurs (1978)

Theatrical trailer or TV spot, that was put in RetroJunk.com by me, tells a tale about space explorers that got lost in a planet inhabited by dinosaurs! Brilliant special effects for it's time. It's available on DVD by Retromedia (with pretty good extras). Scenes of this film was stock footage that got edited into movies like GALAXY OF THE DINOSAURS (1992), advertisements, and TV shows like MUPPET BABIES (1984-1992). Fascinating film for the entire family! As for the title, it sounds like a PLANET OF THE APES rip-off, they should of called it THE YOUNG PLANET.

Cosmic combat? The ship blows up and you just saw it. Combat my arse. The dinosaurs are fun though. But this movie has nothing else going for it.
