Review:

You get RAPTOR! Undoubtedly one of the most horrific pieces of cinema ever cut and pasted, Raptor consists of nothing more than a disgraced Eric Roberts and a nameless softcore cable porn starlet romping around poorly constructed sets, with 23 of the 'movie' being nothing more than assorted clips of the three Carnosaur movies. I can't even imagine what would possess a studio, no matter how bad their reputation is, to cut footage from 3 existing b-movie laughing stocks, and then proceed to film roughly 25-30 minutes of original footage and insert the Carnosaur clips into it at either inappropriate or completely unrelated parts.

Its a funny movie to watch however, simply because its so laughable to see how the movie plays out. Death scenes from Carnosaur 1-3 have been inserted, both human and dino. The sad part is, when the humans are killed, you can plainly tell that the...'actor'...being killed is not the same, ah hem....actor, that was just on screen. For example, a young girl in her early 20's flips out at Corben Bernsen(another once successful Hollywood actor turned b-movie bottom-feeder), and goes into an elevator, at which point a dino pulls her up through the elevator roof into an inexplicably placed room with pipes, and throws her into the pipes where it proceeds to bite off her arm, and then take a tasty bite out of the funzone below the belt (heck of a way to go). If you can get over the bizarrely funny scene of a woman being killed by having her genitals eaten by a mutant dinosaur, you might laugh even harder when you realize that the young girl in her 20's that was wearing a black tanktop and pants has been replaced by a grittier 30-something woman wearing white and black army fatigues.

This happens throughout the entire movie, since no sorry excuse for an actor that is on screen is ever the same one getting killed. AT least 23 of the movie is assorted Carnosaur clips, and the remaining 13 of the footage is some of the most despicable b-movie acting ever recorded. The fact that Corben Bernsen would even be seen in something like this...i'm embarrassed FOR him! Some of the biggest laughs come from the z-list softcore porn starlet they stick with Eric Roberts to serve as the female love interest...truly some of the worst acting ever, even in b-movie terms.

Check this out if you've seen the carnosaur flicks and need a great laugh.
