One of those movies I grabbed for three bucks at a grocery store, this proved to be a real bargain.
It contains mostly trailer footage from dinosaur movies of the past, starting with 1,000,000 yrs BC (original) and coming up just short of Jurassic Park.
Reid Richmond, whoever he is, does a great job of narrating the collection. He dispenses basic well-known facts of these movies, some obscure trivia, and his wry delivery is great for the dry brand of humor in the writing.
Assuming the producers did their research, there are some trivia bits here that I've never found in any other format. The video covers most of the great monsters, but excludes Gamera, for some reason. But, as sardonic as the writing gets, this film still shows respect for the dinosaur films it shows.
If any copies of this are available, I'd advise fans of the genre to seek them out.
