Looking for info on a movie that was possibly a made for tv movie, about a few folk that crashed a space ship, and when they came out of the space ship, there was a big old t-rex running around.

Every time the t rex was near, the ground would rumble, and there was an annoying sound effect that sounded like an amplified and modified brea, as if a dinosaur was makng the sound.

I think I snuck a few late nights to watch that movie as a kid, 24 or more years ago.

It was definately on the television.

It might, just might have been called "The Last Dinosaur", but I'm really not sure.

It was most likely made late 60s or more likely 70s, was color, and was a great flick to watch as a pre-teen.

Any ideas?

There is a move called The Last Dinosaur, made in 1977.

There is a particular T-Rex stalking some folk, but I don't think it had anything to do with a spaceship. It took place in a dormant volcano near the north pole.

It was made to be shown in theaters, but didn't make it, being shown just on television.

I don't know if that's it or not, sir, but it's something.

I can't recall exactly the movie you're describing, but it seems to me there were LOTS of old Sci-Fi movies featuring dinosaurs & spacemen. Kinda makes it hard to narrow down!

I DO remember an old Sci-Fi comedy TV series about astronauts/dinosaurs & cavemen called: "Its About Time".
An old comedy series from the 1960's I watched as a kid.

You feel my pain, russinohio. Way too many possibilities, not enough info on my part. I wish I had more info, as I'd really like to find this, but I've scoured the internet a zillion times, with no luck. But thanks so far for your suggestions.

This brought a movie to mind I can't remember the name of. Saw it in the early to mid 70's. Had some kids that went into a musuem and ended up time traveling back in time and were chased by Dinosaurs. Tried a IMDB search without much luck. Saw this in a theater.

Any ideas..
