Dinosaur Island is a 1994 B-movie directed by Fred Olen Ray. It is often seen as a low budget rip off of Jurassic Park, although the plot is essentially a remake of 1952's Untamed Women. The movie is well known for its often panned special effects and large amount of nudity.

Plot

An army captain is flying three misfit deserters home for a court martial when the plane has engine trouble and they crash-land in the ocean near an uncharted island. There they find a primitive society of cave women who routinely sacrifice virgins to appease The Great One, the top dog dinosaur on the island. Mistaken for gods as part of a prophecy, the men must destroy The Great One or face death, but meanwhile they fall in love despite the advice of their Queen, who tries to disway them from being corrupted by the outsiders ways.
