Trivia:

The 16-foot tall Tyrannosaurus Rex robot from the first film was reused for this sequel. In the original movie, the robot had frequently broken down and performed so poorly that its use was limited to only a few shots. Despite budget constraints, Magical Media Industries did manage to improve the robot T-Rex so that it could be used more extensively for the battle scene in which the dinosaur fights the forklift. However, the robot was still ill-suited to stunt work (such as the shots of the creature ramming the forklift), so miniatures and hand puppets were again used frequently, as in the first film.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: Two crew members are visible at the bottom of the screen when the camera cranes up for a master's shot of the restricted sub-level (before they discover the tooth).

Carnosaur is back for more and the audience is heading for the exit

Well, I'll give this movie a break since it was by a different director. In fact, all 3 of the not-so-thrillogy movies are by different directors, which says a lot for the film. Anyway, the film. Somehow the diabolical dinos (about 2 species. Count 'em. 2.) have escaped death and now are kicking around in a secret base in the Nevada desert. A few attack some guys who have nothing to do with the secret base, and the 3 Stooges' equal to a SWAT team is called in. Lotsa blood, bile, and other wonders of the human body follows. The "climax" (Although I could barely call it that) involves blood, bile, and things blowing up. Afterwards, the ending involves blood, bile, and things falling down things. An all-around terrible flick that could easily made it to Mystery Science Theater 3000 if not for all of the blood, bile, and wooden acting.
