I first saw this about 2 decades ago, back on TBS when they use to show movies on Saturday morning. I vividly remember there was a dinosaur movie marathon on that morning and this was one of them. Originally part of CBS's attempt at making theatrical films, this ended up going to TV instead. The film is a Japanese/American co-production between Rankin/Bass (popular for their Christmas specials, the movies The Hobbit and The Last Unicorn, and the 80s cartoon series Thundercats) and Tsuburaya Productions, founded by Godzilla FX legend Eiji Tsuburaya and creators of the mega-popular Ultraman TV series. The story revolves around big game hunter Mastin Thrust who uses a boring machine to travel inside a giant dormant volcano to hunt the ultimate prize, a giant Tyrannosaur. Under the false pretense of scientific research he brings along a Japanese scientist/and friend, a reporter, his trusty African guide, and the sole survivor of the previous expedition. When his friend is killed Mastin's true intentions become apparent and now he will stop at nothing to put the monster's head on his wall. Too bad he is without weapons and constantly hounded by a tribe of cavemen (all interestingly portrayed by Japanese actors). The film features several creatures (most played Japan style by actors in monster costumes) including a Uintatherium (mistakenly referred to as a Ceratopsian), a Pteranadon, a giant turtle, and (in the films best scene) a Triceratops who breaks out from beneath the earth (don't ask) to do battle with the titular monster. On that note the title has double meaning referring to the Rex and Mastin, both the last of their kind. Sure the movie is kinda cheesy, the FX wildly uneven, and the dialogue laughable at times but considering when and where it was made much can be forgiven.Read more ›

The last dinosaur is a film about a rich hunter and business tycoon (RICHARD BOONE) who learns of a living T-rex. He sets out to "study it" with a team comprised of a journalist (JOAN VAN ARK), a palentologist, Tribal tracker, and the pilot of a Polar Borer craft to take them under the polar ice to a hidden valley heated by a polar volcano. The team becomes stranded and the tycoon's real intentions become aparent. He plans to hunt and kill the T-rex as the ultimate hunter's prize...no matter what the cost! The 70's filming is apparent as the dinosaurs are Ok for the time period by truely cheesey for today's era of CGI. Acting and plot are good...at times. I would love to see this film remade with the concept and production methods updated. As for the original, if you are a dino movie fan, it's a must see at least once.

Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This Warner Archive DVD is yet another fine purchase if you are a collector of fantasy/horror/adventure/sf movies (as I am), and this oldie from the golden year 1977 remains a perfect comedy/adventure thriller that sends Richard Boone out on a B-movie safari to the land of the unknown prehistoric critters that only the most hardened cinematic skeptic would find unwatchable. In fact, the script is actually pretty entertaining until the picture falls apart after the second half of the film's overly long running time, but even then Richard Boone still gets in quite a few hysterical one-liners. There is even a low-budget dinosaur fight that is as entertaining as all get out, and far more enjoyable to watch than the modern CGI atrocities which try to make things look "real" (which is basically a way of insulting audiences on a higher and more disturbing level, which plays with a viewer's psychology by making appear real what the audience understands to be NOT real, and then having them pay for a chance to see it become REAL...or something). To me, these older movies are far more honest than the psychologically confused pictures of today (which house audiences who no longer have any idea as to what they really want). And to be fair to the filmmakers here, these dinosaurs (though admittedly rubber) actually look pretty damn cool to me. It's really too bad that the American and Japanese film companies cannot work together more often to do more of these lower budget adventure film offerings for television movie packages because this one was certainly satisfying enough. My main complaint is that the DVD did not include the alternate versions of this movie, as with the digital formatting that we have now so many more hours of bonus content can be included.Read more ›

I remember when this aired on TV (I was 10 or so). For the last 25 years I thought I was the only one who knew of this movie.

I taped it 10 years ago and of course it's not the same feeling - but what is?

BTW, I cannot believe 3 people here wrote that Wilt Chamberlin was in this movie??? - he was not. The guy's name is Luther Rackley. Check IMDB for more reference.

There were other tall black guys in the world you know.
