Last Dinosaur, The (1977) d. Kotani, Tom / Grasshoff, Alex (USA)
“His time has passed; there are no more. He is the last dinosaur.” From jazz vocalist Nancy Wilson’s warbling theme over the opening credits, we are assured that subtlety will not be the order of the day. Top-billed Richard Boone behaves as though he just crawled out of a whiskey bottle to assay the role of great white hunter and oil tycoon Masten Thrust, and his full-throttle performance elevates what could have been a C-grade Lost World retread into camp classic gold.
