Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)

Have we talked about this here before? I saw people talking about it somewhere not too long ago... it could have been on Twitter.

Anyway, as totally retarded as this movie is, it's actually pretty entertaining. Here is its IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111361/

Denise Richards should have won some kind of award, for consistently acting like she took this seriously. She really appeared to be absoutely deadpan, in earnest, and not kidding around at all... it reminds me a little of how everyone acted in Airplane!, in the sense that a lot of the comedy comes from the actors seeming to be unaware of how preposterous the whole movie is.

Anyway, I read somewhere that the director knew someone who had an animatronic T-Rex on his hands for a few weeks, for some reason, and they just said "hey! We should make a movie with this!" and they just concocted a stupid script so they could have a movie with an animatronic T-Rex in it.

I have to respect that.

The interesting thing about this movie is the cast. If you're playing a horror version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, this would be great movie to know about. You can connect a shitload of 80s and early 90s horror classics to each other, via this movie.

It has George Buck Flower in it (of course, he was in EVERYTHING, including Pumpkinhead, They Live, The Fog, and basically every other 80s horror movie). It also stars the evil psychologist from F13 part 7, and people from the Hellraiser and Leprechaun franchises. It has John Franklin, from Children of the Corn. (He has his head bitten off, by the way, which is the kind of thing that everyone here knows I'm a big fan of). It has Sean Whelan from The People Under the Stairs. It has someone from the Maniac Cop movies... I forget who it was, but I noticed someone a few hours ago when I was googling this stuff. It has someone from Beetlejuice (if you're willing to call Beetlejuice a horror movie, just for the sake of discussion).

But most importantly: it has Denise Richards performing a striptease (not TOO explicit, but certainly a striptease) in front of a disembodied brain hooked up to a camera. That alone put this in the same league with Blood Diner.

So! Yah. Had to share.
