The long awaited sequel that no one thought would happen, featuring a new dinosaur no one saw coming. Seriously, not even one of you. In this installment of the Dinosaur Attack series, Bobbington tries to prove his superiority to Wannabe once and for all by creating a new fearsome monster to take down a rogue T-Rex. But will the mad professor save the town, or ruin everything?

Production notes:

​

I never thought I'd make a 4th Dinosaur Attack. For the longest time, it was decided that Dinosaur Attack 3 (2015) would be the conclusion of the trilogy, and that from now on I would focus on other projects. However, it all began one day when I went inside the laundry room and found an old chicken puppet from my childhood. As I played around with the marionette, I remembered an old video I had made with it many years ago—now re-uploaded as "Puppet Fight!". I then wondered what else I might be able to do with this puppet, video-wise. Then, it hit me: What if Dinosaur Attack, except chicken? The concept sounded hilarious: An overgrown chicken, stomping through town and causing havoc, all while clucking cluelessly. I was quick to get to work on a script, with the help of Shotaro. Somewhere during pre-production I rejected my old marionette chicken in favor of a new and even sillier chicken puppet I had found online. I used this chicken puppet in a few comedy shorts, which were later uploaded as the first three Chuck McCluck shorts. During script writing, three key plot points were decided on early: The chicken will fight and kill a T-Rex, Wannabe will die (this was actually Shotaro's idea, believe it or not), and the chicken will shrink to normal size at the end and gain the ability to talk—which would then open the doors to a potential comedy series with the chicken. The filming of Chicken Attack was out of order and rather disjointed. Because of Cooper's new job, we had some scheduling problems and as a result we were forced to film all the shots of the finale that didn't involve Cooper first, and later mix those in with the shots that did feature him. It was very messy. You can even see Ian's shirt changing between shots. A lot of the filming also involved pointing the camera at backgrounds, because of how the monsters would be green screened in during postproduction. This, combined with the out of order shots, made it nearly impossible to edit the film without aid from the script. As if that weren't bad enough, several original visual effects had to be created and animated—including Bobbington's mutator ray and the charging up effect in Wannabe's giant laser. I had a great time marketing this film: By releasing an epic trailer that teased an ordinary Dinosaur Attack episode with a "fearsome new dinosaur", it made the reveal of the chicken all the more hilarious when you realize that it is in fact the new monster, and as a bird, is technically still a dinosaur. In the end, I was satisfied with the finished product, even if it wasn't a traditional Dinosaur Attack installment. The goal was not to make another Dinosaur Attack, but to make something fun and wacky that almost parodies Dinosaur Attack.

​

Fun Fact: This film was subject to some backlash upon its initial release, as viewers would've preferred a traditional Dinosaur Attack as opposed to the parody-like Chicken Attack. Some requested the film be remade entirely with the chicken monster removed.
