With the dangerous T-Rex still on the loose, Dr. Shotaro Watanabe steps up to use his “anti-T-Rex super weapon”, the Roboraptor, to combat the beast. It’s the battle of the century as nature and technology clash!

Production notes:

​

Where to begin with this one! First of all, 2012 was the year I discovered the wonder of filmmaking technology called green screens, and I used it generously throughout this film (albeit quite poorly). The original edit of Dinosaur Attack 2 is absolutely SATURATED with shameless use of copyrighted music and images. There’s soundtrack from The Dark Knight, Batman Forever, Disney’s Dinosaur, The Dark Crystal, and others. This amateur mistake would later be fixed in the Improved Edition of 2015, which is more or less clean of any such copyrighted material (still kinda iffy about the roars, though yet another edit would come out the following year to address that issue). Dinosaur Attack 2 opens with a news report on the events of Dinosaur Attack (2011), and at this point there is something unique about this movie—a female actor who is unrelated to me biologically! Indeed, as the teenage boy I was in 8th grade, I literally put up posters around the school asking for a female actor, for little more reason than to talk to girls (this whole film is so shameless). As I mentioned in the production notes of Dinosaur Attack, Dinosaur Attack 2 was originally going to be very different, and it was initially filmed with a completely different plot and setting. That footage may have been abandoned for Dinosaur Attack 2, but later resurfaced as “Dinosaur Attack 1.5”, and still later was integrated into the first Dinosaur Attack for 2015’s re-release. All that did little to affect the storyline of Dinosaur Attack 2, although it may come off as a little funny that the events of Dinosaur Attack 1.5 go unmentioned in the news report scene. Cooper was originally supposed to play a much bigger role in this film, but after being repeatedly unavailable on all our proposed filming days, he was simply dropped from the movie altogether, only to make a small cameo—where he dies. Revenge is sweet.

Milestones: First use of green screens
