Whoopi Goldberg actually had to be ordered to do this movie by a judge because she tried to drop out after signing the contract. She was so pissed that during the film's production she only referred to the film's producer as "motherfucker"
and the film was one of three of her goolden raspberry award nominations for Whoopi goldberg in one year
She had signed the contract and agreed to do the film. Whoopi was the only well known celebrity attached to the project so they were afraid that without her the movie wouldn't have the appeal to reach a wide audience and make a profit. So when she changed her mind and tried to back out the filmmakers sued her for breach of contract and she was ordered by a judge to complete the movie.
I noticed that your comment was making an unverified claim on the internet, so here's some sources: around that timeframe, LA Times and People Magazine, I don't know exactly when.
Are you a bisexual bear? I've never seen that Pride flag before. Bi-bear Pride?
+Kyan Neill
"Crew members left constantly during production. Whoopi Goldberg once said that on her final day of shooting, 99% of the crew was different from the first day."
Honestly I cannot blame any of them. WHO THE HELL thought that THIS was a good idea?!
I bet that the guy who wanted to do this movie was getting the idea from his 5 years old kid.
And even than I'm pretty sure that the KID hated it too!!!
True Story, I was on a plane and they showed Theodore Rex and people hated it so much they walked off the plane in mid flight!
"Walked off the plane mid flight." Seems legit
Even though this is obviously a joke, you couldn't open those doors due to the Cabin Pressure, the doors opening inwards, and the locks which prevent the doors from opening mid-flight.
this joke would've worked a little better if you said one of the passengers conveniently needed some fresh air and decided to open a window
James Faraci 😏
joke ruined
They were probably going for a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kinda of movie, the difference is that you have to try, otherwise it won't happen
First name Last name It's a murder mystery with a mismatched pair, one a human cop and the other an anthropomorphic animal & a female character introduced as a seductive dancer of sorts in a high class club & holy shit it is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
@@briankaslewicz6130 if that female dino is supposed to be seductive....that writer has some serious issues
Wish I could smack you for having Goku pick with the name naruto
This movie is basically a giant insult to the motherfucking T-rex.
Half the time I even forget he's a T-rex...
Not sure if that's bad or good :/
It doesn't even look close to a T-Rex.
They picked the wrong latex suit from the "Dinosaurs" sitcom... Earl would have fit pretty well... despite them calling the character a megalosaurus there...
This movie probably took place after the Super Mario Bros movie.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!! O_O
Probably made by the same people too.
+Spork Warrior AHHHH PANCODA!!!
VIDEO BRINQUEDO HAS TAKEN OVER UA-cam ACCOUNTS!
SporkWarrior, I said this was a prologue
Wow! They made Tommy Wiseau look like a credible actor in that moment 10:52.
Almost as bad as Neil Patrick Harris teaming up with the Smurfs.
**Scoffs** What? Are they gonna have Hank Azaria as the main antagonist too? Preposterous!
And then they combined Ryan Reynolds with Pokemon and it was a reasonable success.
Or Lassie and Woody the woodpecker.
@@denverarnold6210 I don't support that movie
have Jim Carrey And Sonic the hedgehog😂
Anyone wanna watch William Shatner's Pokemon?
+Kaiser Chris I would...
+Kaiser Chris That would be awesome! I was that working in a weird way. There would be Deoxys, Rayquaza, Clefairy, Beheeyem and Starmie! I'd pay to see that XD
+Kaiser Chris I unironically want Betty White to have a crossover with the Ninja Turtles, though watching the Shat collect Pokemon and constantly mispronouncing their names/mocking the concept would be sweet.
"Judge Dreadlock" > Theodor Rex
+Kaiser Chris not sure if i'd see it in theaters, but i might check it out on video
Who do I have to kill?
Jurassic Park 6. Featuring Theodore Rex and Barney the dinosaur.
And that one drunk scientist
They really should have kept that scene in where the Mutha F***in T-Rex shows up and eats everyone.
@@Djinsin Who sounds like Sephiroth!!
Cracked recently published an article about the sordid truth behind several famously bad movies, including this one. It turns out Whoopi Goldberg was literally forced to appear in the movie. She originally agreed to star in the movie, then backed out after realizing what a train wreck it was going to be, so the producers sued her for violating a verbal agreement and won. You can imagine she wasn't exactly friendly to the crew behind the scenes as a result: she told one producer, "Just for the record: I hate your guts ... Maybe in ten years, you and I can have a cup of coffee and laugh about this. But you've made my life a living hell and I hate your fucking guts," refused to call another producer anything but "motherfucker," and spent the first day of shooting screaming at the puppeteer controlling the dinosaur because it wasn't working properly.
that is how so many decent actors end up in crapfest. Studio commitments and contracts signed when a movie was something toltally different than what it became. Although to be fair....Whoopi should have known it was a crapfest the moment she heard buddy cop with a Dinosaur....It is like complaining about a crap car after getting a Yugo
Well, a shotty thing to do from the studio's side, but it is not OK to pour piss on the technical crew.
@@kohinarec6580 Maybe she was so salty and mad she couldn't think straight. I mean she was stuck in a movie that was terrible with no way out.
I don't blame her. If I were forced to starr in this stinker, I would've used the puppet strings from the dinosaur and hang myself with them so that I have a way out of this crapseft.
@@nathanschmitz2302 there’s always the 12 gauge delete button option
...Betty White in a ninja turtles movie would be fucking awesome!
Yeah. Betty white would totally rock as April.
Elderly Mutant Ninja Turtles. Elderly Mutant Ninja Turtles. Old people in half lives, turtle power!
+ShotgunLlama It's one of those bands that would change their name to "BWTF" and fans wouldn't know the real name and wouldn't believe the hardcore Betty White Titfuck fans when they tell them the real name.
about that...
15:01 BEST line from Nostalgia critic "SAVE ME"
*Remy Zero:* SOMEBODY SAVE ME!
Next time someone tells me CGI is over done and they miss animatronics I'll point them to this movie.
Fair enough, that was some quality model work.
who care it all depends . Cgi can be good when done right but terrible with others. Same thing with animitronics they can be amazing like jurrassic park or terribly atrocious.
CGI is over done and I miss animatronics.
Eh…I think both have their pros and cons
One of my favorite reviews. So many good parts. "Meanwhile at the sprinkled testicle building"😂 and "What the hell? Why are they playing shuffleboard with Hershey's kisses?"🤣
One of my favorite reviews so manny goood plaee meantesswhles bulldog
11:19 "Why are they playing shuffleboard with Hershey's Kisses?"
No really... Why..?
You're watching this movie, and that's your question?
Gotta get that product placement amiright?!
+Alex-Zander Browne I watched this movie when I was younger and I remembered being so perplexed by that scene that I ended up finding my brother, getting him to sit down and watch it (he's eight years older), just so I can ask him about it.
***** I wish I could give you an answer, I really do.
+Sure there is no point...this movie has no other purpose then to make money wich it failed to do HARD -_-
So Theodore Rex...is voice by the guy who went on to voice Superman and Sephiroth.
O.O ....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...But c'mon, don't tell me that not funny!
Super man in what? And REALLY SEPHIROTH SEPHIROTH I MEAN COME ON
Braven g
Justice League, JLU, Supman/Shazam: Return of Black Adam, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and Superman vs the Elite.
AussieDragoon wow that's stupid
For real?!....please tell me your jokeing...
Little known fact the same guy who voiced Teddy currently is the voice of Sepheroth
PhoenixAlaris93 And Superman?
It is a widely known fact considering around 300 people already posted the same exact fact.
One Winged Dinosaur
Really? Good for him
Stu Pickles as him.
Wait a minute... there's a line on the news in there about how the villain also recreated a raccoon. By the logic that the dinos he made are both sentient and intelligent, then... it's a walking, talking raccoon... OH MY GOD THEDORE REX IS A GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY PREQUEL!!!
What a twist!
So... was the fuzzy hotdog a relative of Mantis?
Drakkenmensch Silverflare NO its to sly cooper
When Teddy is flying in the hang glider, he might be saying "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"
M Night Shyamalan: What a twist
3:07 that line reminds me of Psych.
Shawn "Good Morning detectives. Collecting donations for the policemen's ball"
Lassie "We don't have balls."
Shawn "....... I honestly have no response to that."
I was waiting for this comment 🤣
The Fear and Loathing edit killed me.
Wait, did the opening crawl just give away the villain's plot before the movie even begins?
Tristan Hartup cheap attempt at keeping an audience.
Put the cookie DOWN, Theodore!
Arnie might've made this film a little bit more watchable
"Put that cookie down, NOW!"
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
Would watch the shit out of William Shatner meets Pokemon.
You know what would be even better? A Boston Legal and Pokémon crossover.
Must! Get them! All!!!
Yea, me too probably.
I've ... Got...To...Catch...THEM ALL... SPOCK!
You'll have to settle for Ryan Reynolds & Pokemon. Enjoy.
13:51 Stu Pickles. It's been awhile but I never forget a voice. It's even better that he's talking about a psycho toy maker.
I probably did him a disservice, but Wikipedia didn't list this as one of his roles so I added it.
Ffffffuck
Holy shit!! I had no idea that was Stu!
wow, good ears dude
He's here because he lost control of his life.
This was my birthday gift when I was nine......
Nothing much to tell other than that.....nothing much to tell....
+Greyghostvol1 why would anyone give this as a gift?!
Lol wasn't my parents, was an uncle that we weren't actually all that close to.
Also, the box art looked inviting enough, especially for an eight year old, so it's completely possible for a child directly request it. Remember that this was direct to video.
***** Yes, yes you do. More so if you're one of those uncles that barely ever actually spends time with their nieces and nephews.
I'm an uncle myself....I go out of my way to never give them a crappy present ever. I guess I should thank my own uncle for teaching me that lesson...
at 17:42 Does that guy look like Tommy Wiaso from The Room..
+Greyghostvol1 What can I do to help you heal from such a birthday?
I guess Barney blushed when he saw this movie.
I Wish They Would Make Blarney The Dinosaur You Can Imagine Blarney As A Kentrosaurus A Styracosaurus And Girafftan
He blushes at everything
Or Earl Sinclair
What color did he turn? :P
@@loneronin6813 Red. Why?
Now we'll never get that Betty White and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover movie.
R.I.P.
I watched this when I was 5 years old and I liked it.
23 years later I'm questioning if I was retarded as a little kid.
Smol Fraggle Hippie Its so bad its good imho mate so your ok.
+Mattheos Clemence Okay, bruh. ;)
Smol Fraggle Hippie Besides its just too funny. Not loling with it but at it.
Smol Fraggle Hippie Even one of the bad guys is loling because he is in a bad but good flim.
Mattheos Clemence All too true, man! XD
I know. How about Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan. Don't kill me, that movie is a guilty pleasure. Edit: I also really like Space Jam: A New Legacy.
klimmr3021 I liked ‘Space Jam’ as a kid. Still a guilty pleasure with more cred than this shit
Space Jam is better made than this movie at least...
Didn't even mention all the Looney Tunes/Roadrunner SFX
I LOVE SPACE JAM I ALSO LOVE HOWARD THE DUCK
It worked
Anyone wanna find out something kinda sad? The voice actor for Theodore is also Sephiroth from FFVII and Superman in the DCAU. :D
*In my best Darth Vader impression:* NOOOOOOO!
"I... Wanna be... The very... Best... Like no one... ever was..."
-Opening for William Shatner's Pokemon
sadest thing about this movie is that two of the actors in this movie were in the awesome show Justce League, the girl henchmen in this played Tala, and the voice of teddy is supermans voice actor
Oh my god... I watched this as a kid, and actually blocked it from my mind! And now it's all back!
+meman29
I'll make sure to visit you in the insane asylum.
During group therapy, i mean...
I'd totally watch a William Shatner's Pokemon movie...
Pikachu...I...chooseyou...
@@BATCHARRO
No no no
Pica...............chew
Ieeeeeea.........chooooae.....y...........ou
I've come to say the same thing
@@nunchuckfilms (Says Pikachu the same way he says Spock)
A dinosaur cop with psychic powers and woopie goldberg as his partner sounds badass in any other movie but this one.
One glaring flaw in the movie that the critic doesn't say is how the villains twist plan was revealed to us IN THE FIRST LINE OF THE MOVIE.
There's spoilers, and then there's putting the movie's plot summary on back of the DVD case as the movie's opening scene.
Who wants a movie with a Ninja as a Cop instead of a T-rex?
Zhao Dragión I think that's actually a thing. Kung Fury or something.
Johnathan Holmes Isn't Batman kinda that?
How about a movie about a Ninja and a T-Rex as cops, but instead of a Noah's Ark plot, it's about busting an illegal Dinosaur fighting ring and the T-Rex's struggles in a society where he's considered a second-rate citizen and the Ninja's struggles to respect his heritage and his badge while still staying true to his values.
Anybody got thoughts on that?
Blake Adamson That sounds like an awesome idea, much more interesting and engaging than the actual movie!
You know I miss the old videos some time. There's something comforting about the old recording equipment and set up.
Ahh, I'm so glad they reuploaded this one. The only one I could find on YT (that was English) was in terrible quality and that was hard for me to look at, haha.
Here's the Surgeon General warning on the ticket stub for this movie.
*Warning*
The film you're about to view has been known to cause cancer.
What ticket stub? This was a DTV flick.
+The KaBlammer it's a joke. Just replaced ticket stub with TV Guide.
Alex-Zander Browne Yeah, I know, but still.
Watching this video make me want cookies. Am I the only one?
No! So do I!
Those cookies did look good lol
I don't think the animatronics are all that bad.
It's the mouth movement
+Tortoiseshel it's true that, with the absence of lighting, cheap sets, nonsensical plot, nonexistent writing, the animatronics are the least of the problems here.
+Tortoiseshel Neither do I, at least when compared to the ones in Garbage Pail Kids.
Yeah. At least they aren't the ones from Garbage Pail Kids
Mouth movement. Otherwise, it's pretty much par for the course compared to most 90s animatronics on film.
15:04, I just love that line delivery!
Apparently the Betty White x TMNT crossover isn't gonna happen anymore
R.I.P. Betty White
I admit, I think it has a kind of cool premises. If I was in charge of a remake I'd totally make it about prejudice or human vs nature, perhaps a mix of both.
Wouldn't it be interesting if it turns out they were dying naturally and the life spans of dinosaurs were decreasing per generation?
Or they were killed in self defense because they were being mind controlled.
I don't think I should write for children...
KoshVader seems great
That’s actually pretty clever.
Now pick up that pen and start writing!!
If the Cosby's had been dinosaurs the son would be called a theosaurus! (bu-dum-tish)
+clericofchaos1 If it was George Foreman's son it would have been named George.
:P! ::-)
I Wish Danny tanner jessie Joey from and Mary Kate and Ashley would always go on derisive with Theodore Rex
This sounds almost exactly like a weird idea I had when I was a kid, though my idea was essentially Ace Ventura with dinosaurs, boy was I a dumb kid.
I would pay money to see that XD
That... actually sounds like a cool idea
Except Ace Ventura with dinosaurs sounds really funny. Whoopi Goldberg stopped being funny a LOOOOONG time ago
Did they ever save the kid? I don't remember him mentioning it. Then again this movie was so bad I started blanking out.
They saved him. It was mentioned at 17:34 in the video.
Am I the only one who noticed that Rex is voiced by the same guy who voiced Lightning McQueen, this is my favorite review
No It's actually George Newbern Sadly.
16:44 Sounded like he said 'piss off'. 😆
I can't figure out if they were trying to rip off "Roger Rabbit" or ride the coat tails of "Jurassic Park." It could be both.
"But he's a dinosaur"Wow whoopie racist much?
Or speciest
Haven't seen the view I take it?
I like how they take common white on black racist tropes and transfer them into black on dinosaur jokes
Oh... I was thinking something veeeeeeeeerrryy different when he said Sebastian.
I bet it's one Hell of a difference, ehehehe
Actually Betty White teaming up with the Ninja Turtles does sound kinda dope.
news flash a dinosaur has escaped from a asylum and is attacking everyone with his tail while screaming cookies
CinemaSins really needs to do this movie. Everything Wrong with Theodore Rex in F*** Me minutes.
can we just say the entire movie and end this nowlol
I Wish Danny Tanner Jessie Joey Dj Stephane Mary Kate And Ashley
Will always Solve The Crimes With Theodore Rex
This was like The Happytime Murders before The Happytime Murders.
Holy shit I thought this movie was a fever dream scared the shit outta me as a kid I mean look at that thing looks cartoonish yet so real and sentient plus my biggest fear is half human animal creatures
12:29 Is that Juliet Landau as the bad guy's secretary!?
Unfortunately yes.
End of the episode, I’m still trying to figure out wut a ninja grid is
Isn't "hydroponic seaweed" redundant?
Jonathan Rogers how so?
Ok, when nc said “for example, my path leads to-“ it got interrupted by an ad for luvs diapers!
Okay. We complain about too much CGI in movies these days, but when props are actually THERE we complain too?! _Ugh… make up your mind, America…_
+Emilia Rose Everyone complains, not just America.. -_-
Still, I just find it ironic that moviegoers can't be happy with either effect.
Emilia Rose Props look bad 9/10 times, and we are too used to CGI. At this point there is no winning.
***** Agreed… unless someone does manage to bring a real alien or dinosaur around. Now _that_ I'd watch.
Thats the trick. Good movie effects use practical for the actors to actually react and give the viewer the concept that the object is really there. Cgi enchances this process shortcomingsm.Look at Gollum. Actor on set, creature designed with sketchs and clay. Rendered after all that.
Can someone please explain the cookie scene to me? What is the joke?
+billa107 "It's funneh cuz he's a dinosser and dinosser eet meet nut cookeh." ... At least I suppose that's the bottom-line of the joke. Doesn't make it any funnier but hey, I'm TRYING to give it some sense.
+invock I think it's because he says "i'm a recovering carnivore (like a recovering alcoholic)", but he's glad to eat something which would really be so much more unhealthy and dangerous to a dinosaur.
@Thomas Pastor And I still don't get it.
And Theodore Rex would grow to become Sephiroth AND Superman.
+iisanulquiorrahara8 Don't forget Nooj....
Sorry, haven't played FF X-2.
And BOTH in Superman vs The Elite xD that threatening voice Superman takes on at the end when he's intimidating Manchester Black is Newbern's Sephiroth voice.
He also plays Andy Beast in "Monster High: Escape from Skull Shores". :)
iisanulquiorrahara8 Sephiroth isn’t in X or X-2. He is in Crisis Core though.
12:43 To be fair, Bland Non-advertising Blank Screen would still be more enjoyable than this movie.
I would watch William Shatner/Pokemon crossover
Betty White starring as April!
+Lab Matt Still better than Megan Fox.
That would be so awesome!
Lab Matt yes, and Leo will be using his swords as canes, Donnie will use his bo staff to hold himself up, Raph will use his sais to pull out his dentures, and Mikey will have been dead.
I vaguely remember seeing this movie as a kid. I didn’t think it was real, now I know it wasn’t just a bad dream.
The popcorn-eating guy from the “Free Willy” episode could be a running joke. It’s a much less versatile joke than the others, but there is some potential.
I think filmmakers just kinda gave up at some point during production and only hoped for their money back. Didn't work out
I don't see the point in finishing this movie, props to Doug for sitting thru it
Theodore Rex: Cookies. Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies Cookies.......
Seriously, though. Imagine William Shatner in a Pokemon movie. Singing the theme song. (EMPHASIS, ...= Dramatic pause) I wanna be... the VERY best! Like no one ever WAS! To catch them is my... REAL test!... To train them is... my CAUSE! I will travel... across the LAND!
Searching... FAR and WIDE!
Teach Pokémon to... UNDERSTAND! The power that's... INSIDE!
Pokémon, gotta... catch 'em ALL! It's you AND me
I know it's my... DESTINY!...
POKÉMON! Oh... you're... my best FRIEND! In a world we... must DEFEND!
Pokémon, gotta... catch 'em ALL! A heart... so TRUE!
Our courage will... pull us THROUGH! You teach me and... I'll teach YOU!
Pokémon! Gotta... catch 'em ALL! Gotta... catch 'em ALL! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!
0:53 hey thats the guy from "my wife and kids" i loved him in that
It's absolutely amazing when you realize people actually thought this was going to be a good idea.
This is why you don't do drugs.
look, if you just pretend Geinan started taking acid in the Holodeck this movie makes a lot more sense
Btw; the voice of Theodore Rex (George Newbern) went on to do the voice of Superman the animated version in many of the movies.
and Sephiroth for more than a decade
Stu from Rugrats.
Immediately after this movie finished filming Shaft went home, laid down on the couch and cried for an hour to funky musical accompaniment.
I actually thought of a modern readaptation for this movie.
So... it's set in the present day and this scientist found a way to create a wormhole to a period in the past. The time experiment goes wrong and ends up taking a baby T-Rex to the present while killing the scientist. The T-Rex is adopted by a little girl who names him Theo and she grows up to be a private investigator. The time experiment has a strange side affect that causes Theo to talk, and as he grows up, the girl struggles to keep Theo a secret while she investigates a murder that leads back to the failed time experiment.
Not perfect, sounds strange. But it works...right?
So it’s kinda like ET meets Clifford. I like it!
11:40 To be fair, Rex *does* have a long body and short arms. He's not exactly physically equipped to dress himself the way humans do....
Pokemon + Bill Cosby. Thank you Internet.
When I was a kid I loved this movie. Now I'm afraid to watch it by myself so I'm here.
Goldberg said that she regretted being in the movie. That is proves how bad the movie is.
Was this film a kid's movie?
Pick a term
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna munch on some cookies with some people in the ninja grid while playing bland non-advertising blank screen!
Legend has it, that guy is still looking for that mysterious shoulder tapper.
FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW FOREVER!
it's a kids movie lol i loved this movie growin up
Don't keep it from being crap
No offence ur child hood sucked
It would be interesting to see Burn Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee Film review by Doug Walker!
To be honest: these older NC reviews were better than the more recent ones. Nearly noncrossovers, no prolonged sketch comedy intertwined with the review. More straightforward and focused.
theodore rex was one of my fav movies as a kid. i would love to see a remake of it.
Heavy from Team Fortress 2: You are dead! Not big surprise.
Me: skip to 16:02
This is too close to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
"Bad powerpoint presentation"
You mean every Powerpoint presentation?
According to Wikipedia, this is the only movie Whoopie Goldberg has ever regretted doing. Her own words on the movie: "Don't ask me why I did it, I didn't want to."
My Brother and I watched this when we were 9 and 6 respectively and at that time we thought all movies were awesome and we still thought that this was the most terrible movie we had ever seen... We were so angry that our cassette rental money had gone to waste on this stupid movie! :D... ah this brings back a lot of memories!
I would watch the hell out of a movie involving Betty White and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
At 11:22 the critic was puzzled at what game they were playing. “what the hell? Why are they playing shuffleboard with Hershey’s kisses?”
Apparently the critic has never heard of Curling. Granted it’s not a super popular sport, it is a sport that is played in the Winter Olympics. It is popular in some countries like Canada and the northern Scandinavian countries of Europe, I think. I’m just guessing that statement based on stereotypes!
Another fun fact i that Goldberg ACTIVELY tried to abandon this movie but was sued for trying to breach contract, only staying because they increased her pay by 2 million in the end.
Also important to note that actors in the film ignored the crappy dinosaur costumes because they didn't know this was the final product. They were all under the impression they would be digitally enhanced at a later date before release.
