No sooner did Jurassic Park score at the box office than the imitations began turning up like bad pennies. The redoubtable Fred Olen Ray, once more delivering a bankable project at the least possible cost, was responsible for Dinosaur Island. Typical of the Ray ouevre is the presence of several top-heavy young ladies, whose costumes can be mercifully described as immodest. The dinosaurs are rubber novelty-shop creations that wouldn't convince a dim-witted duck, but they serve their purpose in forcing the females in the cast to jiggle past the camera in abject horror. Ross Hagen, a veteran of this sort of fare, heads the cast of Dinosaur Island, doing an excellent job of convincing us that the dialogue he's been given is actually worth reciting.

Cult sexploitation directors Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski have collaborated on what may be the ultimate adolescent male fantasy film, positing a group of soldiers shipwrecked on an island inhabited by nubile prehistoric babes who see them as gods. Genre veteran Ross Hagen commands the marooned group, which encounters danger, breasts, peril, breasts, and really cheesy-looking dinosaurs engineered by FX man John Carl Buechler. Toni Naples, Richard Gabai, and Michelle Bauer (Cafe Flesh) co-star, and Peter Spellos stands out with an amusing turn as the fat, shy Turbo. Gary Graver (aka porn director "Robert McCallum") was the cinematographer. Dinosaur Island does provide some genuine laughs and acres of flesh, but its odd sentimentality may prove a bit sappy for some tastes.
