Dinosaurus

A 1960 Dinosaur movie.

Dinosaurs are blasted up from the ocean off of a Caribbean island. Frozen solid, they are brought to shore and revived by lightning. They proceed to run amok, along with a Caveman who was frozen along with them. The islanders are soon cut off from outside help and must survive the night.

Tropes Include:
"Hacker: "...I didn't know you were an anthropologist."
 * Artistic License Geography: Freezing cold currents in the Caribbean.
 * All Cavemen Were Neanderthals: The Caveman is pretty clearly a Neanderthal.
 * A Boy and His X: Hulio pals around with the Brontosaurus and the caveman for quite a bit.
 * Big Fun: Dumpy. Yes, that is the character's name.
 * Contemporary Caveman: The Caveman, one of the earliest in movies. Easily the funniest parts of the movie are him dealing with things like wax fruit and mirrors.
 * Distressed Damsel: Betty.
 * The Ditz: Jasper.

Jasper: "Uh, not a very good one. I mean, I haven't been to church in years.""


 * Despair Event Horizon: Julio crosses it after the Caveman does his Heroic Sacrifice and the apparent death off the Brontosaurus at the teeth of the Rex.
 * The End or Is It: The T Rex is knocked back into the cold water at the end of the movie and the movie implies that it's still not dead.
 * Fish Out of Temporal Water: The Caveman does not understand modern day life, which makes him one of the most endearing characters in the whole movie.
 * Grievous Bottley Harm: Subverted, the bottle breaks in Hacker's hand when he tries to make it deadlier, cutting him badly.
 * Human Popsicle: The Caveman and the Dinosaurs.
 * Heroic Sacrifice: The Caveman chooses to save his friends by holding up the collapsing mine. He doesn't make it out.
 * Jerkass: Hacker.
 * Morality Chain: Julio to the Caveman.
 * Misplaced Wildlife: The Dinosaurs and Caveman are not from that part of the world nor were they contemporaneous.
 * Mr. Exposition: The boy, Julio, knows everything about dinosaurs and if he doesn't know something, he asks a question about it, causing others to exposit.
 * Prehistoric Monster: The T Rex is a killing machine. Racking an (off screen) body count of at least a dozen.
 * Quicksand Sucks: up the poor Brontosaurus.
 * Rip Van Winkle: The Dinosaurs, but especially the Caveman. This trope is also discussed with the Caveman.
 * Say My Name: A LOT.
 * Stock Dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus Rex and a "Brontosaurus"
 * Stop Motion: The Dinosaurs, when not done by puppetry.
 * Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying: See the Above.
 * Title Drop: "Sound the Alarm! Dinosaurus!"
 * Those Two Bad Guys: Hackers men, Mousey and Jasper.
