I was already way on board for Tammy and the T-Rex, but when I realised that Paul Walker's brain wasn't going to be put in to a T-Rex, but specifically a T-Rex animatronic, forget about it, this instantly became must-watch material.

I wasn't disappointed. I don't think I'm comfortable telling people that this movie is, "good", exactly, but boy did it deliver on what I wanted.

Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.

Teen angst plus camp horror with black humor equals fun nonsense

The boyfriend of a teen girl in the Los Angeles area (Paul Walker & Denise Richards) is seriously injured whereupon a dubious doctor (Terry Kiser) places his brain in a 3-ton mechanical tyrannosaurus rex, which creates serious problems when the ‘dinosaur’ crashes a party.

"Tammy and the T-Rex” (1994) is similar to the contemporaneous “Leprechaun 2” and “Leprechaun 3,” albeit even sillier. It fills the bill when you want to turn off your brain for some goofy entertainment with horror trappings.

Besides Denise in her prime, Shevonne Durkin stands out on the female front as Wendy. Then there’s the doctor’s statuesque assistant, Helga, played by Ellen Dubin. Michele Maika is also worth a mention as Michelle.

This is a fun flick but the eye-rolling Byron character is too prominent and almost singlehandedly ruins the experience.

The film runs 1 hour, 22 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles and nearby Calabasas & Camarillo, both west of Hollywood.
