Publisher's Synopsis
With blockbusters like Jurassic Park, it's easy to see that filmmakers and audiences alike are interested in seeing dinosaurs on screen. This comprehensive filmography, arranged alphabetically by title, contains entries that include basic facts (year of release, country of origin, studio, and running time) followed by four primary sections: Plot Summary, Commentary (the author's review of the film), People and Production, and Causes and FX (information on the special effects). A separate section contains capsule entries on films that deal only briefly with dinosaurs. To be included, the movie must show on screen one or more creatures represented as prehistoric, reptilian, and non-humanoid. Inaccurate portrayals are included, as long as the intent is to represent a real or fictional dinosaur. Mythical creatures are excluded.
