The last induction of this summer is one from the same director as the two Mummy's Kiss films as this was his directorial debut and a passion project for him. Unfortunately, doing a passion project as your first film where you want the best product with all the rigmaroles that go with making a film is not the best idea. And not even in an enjoyable way. monster-crap.blogspot.com/2018/09/monster-crap-inductee-dinosaur-valley.html |

This was a fun read. Glad you did it too as I remember buying this film from Best Buy on DVD when it was on sale around the 2000 holidays, and earlier this year tried to look stuff from it up but couldn't find anything really. For the most part, I was trying to find the title theme as "dinosaur valley girls...i'm in a dinosaur valley wooooooooorld" was stuck in my head for some reason and wanted to verify it was as I remembered.
That said, I remembered nothing else from the film until I started reading your article and - wow - "Jurassic Punk" came right back. I remember being 14 and watching it thinking "they really just going to drop a music video in the middle here?"
This does have me tempted to pull it out and revisit it. I noticed now looking at your clips that I'm pretty sure Denise Ames, who played Hea-Thor, was Hypothermia on The Tromaville Cafe, but it's not listed in her credits or the credits of the show, but if you watch the into I'm 90% sure it's her.

Yeah, that music video was so random and in the book, the director confirms that creating the music video was always in the script because both "Jurassic Punk" and "Dinosaur Valley Girls" were recorded years before the film came to be an idea, as it originally was gonna be a film for the Playboy Channel (before the director decided he wanted to do more with this film). |
