What happens

Planet of Dinosaurs is a 1977 American science fiction film produced and directed by James K. Shea and wrtten by Ralph Lucas. Shea instructed most of the budget to be spent on the special effects, which included an array of award-winning stop motion dinosaurs, leaving little money for props or even to pay the main actors. James Whitworth and Max Thayer had the most film experience of the actors. Modern reviews have generally been negative, although there is agreement that the stop-motion dinosaurs were the most notable and enjoyable aspect. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
