This film features many animated sequences and a considerable number of stop motion creatures despite it's modest budget. The dinosaurs where designed by Stephen Czerkas and animated by him, Jim Aupperle and Doug Beswick. Jim Danforth did all the matte paintings.
The stop motion dinosaurs are literally the only good thing about this movie, and they're pretty great honestly.
But they're not the most "delicious 😋" stop motion in the world. Are they?
Thats just yer opinion man
the plot is a bit… well. but i quite like the soundtrack too!
@@nickeats88 They were speaking from a critical standpoint. Not their own.
The women were good eye candy.
This is so cool, it’s directly in between the 1950’s monster movies and 1993’s Jurassic Park
@@bryanferratt6598Go away jerk
日本の特撮は着ぐるみ、ミニチュアセットがメインだけど
これはこれで素晴らしいよね。ハウゼン作品とか大好きです。
Still one of the meanest T Rexes in any movie. Creepy vocalizations too.
Would be dinosaurs vs aliens 🦖🆚👽
Why do I have a feeling this movie was the main inspiration for Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter?
And probably the movie 65
The 1998 Carnivores game had its creature design mostly inspired by old paleoart (used on the herbivores) while 90’s paleoart was for the carnivores.
A marvelously bad movie with fantastic animated beasties. You gotta love it!
Loved this movie as a kid. The spider part was absolutely nightmare fuel.
Yes, the same here, in the movies full of dinosaurs, the spider scared me the most 😅
Man for an old movie this age pretty well especially with the stop motion.
2:01 Holy hell that triceratops just turned that guy into clay!
That's not a triceritops, styracosaurus..
It’s a Centrosaurus, a Ceratopsian similar to the dubious Ceratopsian genus, Monoclonius.
@@thejoker15678 While it's meant to be a Centrosaurus, the arrangement of the horns/spikes make it look more like Spinops sternbergorum. Fossils of Spinops were discovered in 1916 (before the film) but weren't officially described until 2011 (after the film).
It doesn’t even look like a Pachyrhinosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus has a nasal boss, and the frill horns are more curved.
Man do I love not being a normie:
I check out the replies to a hilarious comment and everyone's discussing the accuracy of the morphology of a stop-motion dinosaur from a 1977 b-movie Planet of the Apes-ripoff which I'm willing to bet almost everyone here has seen before watching this video (myself included).
I feel amazing.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite paleomedia movies, which shows a planet that looks like Earth in the Mesozoic! And this strange Mesozoic Earth-like planet, similar to Earth, has the same life conditions as Earth, and do you know anything strange? The dinosaurs and prehistoric animals are represented as extraterrestrial dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures in this film.
Best of all, one of the late Legendary Ray Harryhausen’s monsters is also in the movie, Rhedosaurus!
And I can even see the dinosaurs well-known in it, such as Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, Struthiomimus, Centrosaurus, Polacanthus and much more!
The Trex in this is a classic beast!!
I don't remember ever watching this 1977 dinosaur motion picture. It's a new 1 on me.
This makes me wish that we got to see more of Stephen Czerkas’s work in more movies as well :(
Still love this movie after all these decades. Use to watch my VHS recorded copy (that also had "The 3 Worlds of Gulliver," and "The Brave Little Toaster" preceded it) all the time as a kid.
Way better than JW: Dominion💪🏻
Better than any of the JW movies.
That's a low bar to clear, mind.
HEY! NO ONE DISSES THE THE JP/JW FRANCHISE!
@@thejoker15678 he said Jurassic WORLD, not Jurassic PARK
@@johnnyngo2896Not in the slightest…
65's inspiration
-the movie
This film and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth were animated by James Danforth who was one of Ray Harryhausen's protégés.
Jim Danforth was only the
matte painter for this film
and Doug Beswick was the
chief stop motion animator.
This movie deserves better praise
Marvelous!! 👏🤩 😱🦖🐢🐊🐍🦎 And thank you for the link!!
I always love watching these cheesy old movies, they're so funny and goofy compared to most modern movies! 🤣

Some people compared the film with 65. In my opinion, I think Planet of Dinosaurs had a more versatile sets of creatures, in which there are both deadly carnivores and dangerous herbivores.
Plus they used actual existing dinosaurs that weren’t just T-Rex.
Fantástic work. !!!
Se nota el esfuerzo y la creatividad para este proyecto de la época 😎
1:59 well that’s something you don’t see every day…
I remember getting slightly freaked out as a kid but I hated that character. Pretty much recovered from that scene lol
great work !!
That Tyrannosaurus is such a serial killer 😄
I thought this was released in 1978? Anyway, I liked the Stop Motion sequences of these Dinosaurs. Especially the Tyrannosaurus Rex. When I look at the T.Rex, it sort of reminds me of one of its kind from the 1956 Film The Animal World. Only this Rex from Planet of Dinosaurs is Bigger, Beefier & More Imposing. Oh & this one only has 2 Fingers. Even the fight between it & the Stegosaurus reminds me of the scene from Disney’s FANTASIA. In addition, I even liked the Fictional 4 legged version of T.Rex known as the Rhedosaurus that appeared on The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms & When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth.
Interestingly, I also thought the film was realeased in 1978 but according to IMDB it was 1977. As for the Rhedosaurus, it's cameo was apparently apreciated by Ray Harryhausen according to Jim Aupperle. The animators on this film where of course all great fans of his work.
@@alexhagst8248 Well it was released in America in 1978 which still counts on my… Uh book or whatever. But don’t forget the Rhedosaurus did appear in When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth.
Glad I seen this when I was super young too many good looking ladies get capped.
I had this on VHS back in the 80s. I swear he said "much OLDER than that of our Earth. That never made sense to me
3:03 the little dinosaur was like ” Phew that was a close on- “
70s version of Fantasia nice
Tyrannosaurus Rex in Planet of Dinosaurs rocks! It has the two fingers correctly!
This is much better than jurassic park
The Dino’s in this movie aren’t targeting the humans. They’re animals going about doing animal things until the dumb ass homan’s show up and start being dumb. Like: invading the Trex’s territory and not leaving, pissing off a stego by playing some annoying ass sound, and really pissing off that trike by snatching her eggs.
I take it you’re not much of a people person
That wasn’t a trike.
This Planet of Dinosaurs is actually shown as a strange, Mesozoic Earth-like planet, where dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures live.
Planet of Dinosaurs is a science-fiction dinosaur film, the film is set in an unspecified future, the film follows the journey of Captain Lee and his crew after they crash land on a strange, Mesozoic Earth-like planet with similar life conditions as Earth, but millions of years behind in time.
The Mesozoic Earth-like planet being a planet that looks like Earth is similar to how Mars used to look like Earth, until it became red, that is.
It doesn’t matter if a dinosaur is portrayed as somethings, either being created from chicken DNA like in Carnosaur, or living in a strange, Mesozoic Earth-like planet, even though Dinosaurs in Planet of Dinosaurs, are living in a strange, Mesozoic Earth-like planet, the dinosaurs don’t look like some kind of creatures, dinosaurs did have evolved from dinosauromorphs, and they look more dinosaurian, than alien, and this strange, Mesozoic-Earth-like planet has life conditions, similar to Earth, like dinosaurs, photosynthesis, etc.
That T Rex didn't play around. This must've been where I subconsciously had nightmares about a giant eating Lizard 🦎 that chased around and ate people. And this was before Jurassic Park was made.
It's an Allosaurus I believe.
@MrMittens1974
It's a T Rex
6:07 I remember this shot being used as stock footage for Really Wild Animals’ episode on dinosaurs.
2:00 fatality!
Brontosaurus Death Scene 0:22
Stegosaurus Death Scene 1:15
Prehistoric Spider Death Scene 2:14
Allosaurus Death Scene 3:02
Struthiomimus Death Scene 3:30
Polacanthus Death Scene 4:40
Rhedosaurus Death Scene 5:42
Tyrannosaurus Rex Death Scene 6:30 6:36
At 0:22 it's not a Brontosaurus. Notice the tail----it's a different type of creature from the one we saw before. And the skin on the leg has different texture.
@@wilverbal What is it then? Sauroposeidon?
@@EngineerRiff I don't know. Maybe some sort of ceratopsian.
I don’t think so. You can kind of see a long Neck
Didn’t you see the long neck? Also the Bronto was at the same place.
The dino fact guy: Time gap between stegosaurus and tea rex is bigger than that between tea rex and hoomans...
Movie makers: that's why modern houmans are there too!
These are not dinosaurs and the events of the film don't take place on Earth, these are alien creatures that have evolved convergently to dinosaurs, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that T. Rex meets Stegosaurus.
You had me at "Tea Rex".
5:27 Last appearance of the rhedosaurus.

Notes:
Yes, I know Rhedosaurus is a dinosaur, but a fictional one, and it counts as a monster.
Perhaps one creature is speculative, which the Mosasaur could’ve been a Tylosaurus, but it’s just my opinion.
5:27 I feel like the people who were making it were RISKING IT
The dinosaur that Capt. Lee Norsythe encounters near the end of the film when he is trying to get the T-rex's attention is based on the Rhedosaurus, the fictional dinosaur from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953). Ray Harryhausen visited the studio during production and gave his consent for the creature's cameo appearance.
great to see a film adaptation of primal rage
3:02 could make such a neat meme template ngl
It alway bothered me a bit that the skin textures on these dinos are too coarse, and it breaks the illusion that these creatures are supposed to be massive. All the scales and markings should have been smaller and a bit more subtle. The animation and dynamation-style composites are well-executed, though.
0:45 lol
I know what you mean about the scale sizes on the skin but for some reason I feel that it suits the dinosaurs in that particular arid desert environment and it seems to work well with the animation.
@@DoowopJohnnyBoy It's a petty quibble. The film's human scenes are its biggest detriments, by far. Bad acting, boring dialogue and tons of lengthy shots of people walking aimlessly are much worse than crude sculpting.
The stop motion dinosaur effects make up for this movie's faults considering that they look very good by 1970's movie effects standards.
The fermented berry juice in the film was actually grape Kool-Aid.
Wangi!!!😱😱😱
i see a color change in film at aprox. 55 sec. mark....anyways great animation and models are spot on..
That Allosaurus from 2:20 to 2:58 gets smaller all the time you see it.
Excelent movie....
This film portrays exactly what humans have done on the planet, killing everything that wants to live
Honestly, I do hope that they remake Planet of the Dinosaurs with up-to-date science.
@Entertain Me Besides that.
I would say 65 is a loose remake of this film using up-to-date special effects,but not up-to-date science.
No worries, folks, that was only a baby RHEDOSAURUS !!
.. of course , when mama comes looking for her child ...
There WILL be a problem 😮😮😮
2:21 I’m gonna throw some dirt in your eye.
That lizard didn't put up a good fight 5:38
5:33 Do You See Rhedosaurus? JUST ZOOM IN TO SEE IT!
Poor t-rex 😢
😊
I couldn’t stop myself and from saying “eww” out load when I saw this monstrosity lmao 3:08
Alien dinosaurs
Les dinosaures en stop motion sont meilleurs acteurs que les comédiens
qui n étaient pas comédiens amateurs ni professionnels.
Sinon sérieusement les dinosaures sont vraiment
bien dans l esprit de willis Obrien et Ray harryausen.
The T-Rex 's legs look malformed. Looks like he can't even sit down
Adoro.filme.dinossauro
3:06 почему то мне очень смешно
Perfectly Cut Moments
This movie is pure trash but i amazed for weeks when i saw it as child.
L intérêt de ce film ce sont les dinosaures en stop motion sinon les acteurs sont des amateurs .
0:34 AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It's 1978
65 is a Blatant Ripoff of this Movie.
You can’t call it a ripoff if it has a higher budget and has a bit of it’s own take to it
It's also a Ripoff of Robinson Crusoe On Mars.
When was that made and what was their budget, also 65 is on Earth not Mars 🌎 ☠️
I believe Robinson Crusoe On Mars was made in the 60's(It has Adam West, TV's Batman, in It.) It was done on a Low Budget with Recycled Martian Spacecraft from War of the Worlds.
It's basically a Survival Story about one man trying to exist within the Harsh Alien Environment of the Red Planet, So there are some similarities to 65.
That was the first thing that came to mind when the trailer for it appeared.
In the realtiy the stegasarus kill the humans

Man, some of the characters in this movie are so dumb......
These dinosaurs are incredible more real than Jurassic World saga.
This is much better than jurassic park
