Member Rating:  
Eight years before the dinosaur mania created by Jurassic Park, Bill L. Norton released this more dinosaur-friendly story about a 10-foot baby dinosaur in dire straits in Africa because Dr. Eric Kiviat (Patrick McGoohan), an evil paleontologist, is after it with a vengeance. He is the nemesis of Dr. Susan Matthews-Loomis (Sean Young) -- determined to save the baby from its hunters -- and her husband George Loomis (William Katt), a sportswriter who shares her protective instincts. Kiviat has recruited a revolutionary army to help him capture the baby's mother -- which they manage to do without killing her. The army has already shot down the father dinosaur, and so their own instincts are far from protective. As the husband and wife and baby dinosaur are united at last in their attempts to survive, the next step is to recapture Mom dinosaur and get away from the army and Kiviat, not an easy feat. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

I rented this for my 4 year old boy. PG, well, most cartoons are PG these days. i didn't think anything of it. There is a stabbing scene within the first 5 minutes of the movie. People dying, getting eaten. A newly married couple who are groping and whatnot all over the place (without any visible chemistry whatsoever). And the dinosaurs themselves look like rubber toys. TERRIBLY unbelievable. It's not really something that adults will dig because the dinosaurs are just so silly. And kids get bored because there's too much adult activity. I'm not sure who their target audience was, but they missed the mark...

Among the movies i overly enjoyed & overly watched when i was a kid (others were Mary Popins & Harry & the Henderson's). I know online reviews today love to point out how this movies content may be questionable for kids (like language, violence and some sexual content). But let's remember that this movie was released before there was a PG-13 rating. So if you are a parent & is concern about what their kid watches, make sure you screen what they want to watch before they watch it. That's what a good parent should do.

I watched this movie as a kid and remember loving it; (Well it was in 1985 before graphics are what they are today) but was shocked at all of the violence and sex that I did not remember. I watched it with my 3 year old and 7 year old and found myself fast forwarding through much of it. My guess is it was not rated PG13 because they didn't have PG13 then. But it should have been. Do not rent it for your young children.
