Revealing mistakes: Angie's arm gets ripped off by the pterodactyl and you see bloody strands on the severed arm but in the next shot it's clean and neat as if it were cut instead of torn off. moreQuotes:
Captain Bergin: Nail it! Shoot that overgrown pigeon!Prof. Michael Lovecraft: That might not be a good idea.
Captain Bergin: Why not?
Prof. Michael Lovecraft: It's like chumming blood for sharks; it could start some kind of feeding frenzy.
Captain Bergin: I'm not going to allow them to continue to make us entrées for some forest buffet. They got to learn is when they bite, we bite back.

Look, the film is awful. I know that. But what do you expect, King Kong? I mean, it was, overall, a good B movie.
The movie centers around some pterodactyl eggs hatching in a volcano, and the pterodactyls being set loose in a forest, and a small group of people and a small military troupe try and get out of the forest.
OK, sounds pretty cheesy, right? Well, yeah. It's supposed to be! All you people that say this film is awful: I agree. But people go see Plan 9 From Outer Space still, right? Why? BECAUSE ITS FUN TO WATCH! I really loved this movie, and it's one of my favorites to pop in on a Saturday night. Crappy SFX, crappy make-up, shabby acting, and is really just hilarious overall.
Just spend the five bucks on this film and have a fun time. Really, do it. Go.
