Prolific independent filmmaker Brett Kelly’s latest production — hot on the heels of his 1950s remake Attack of the Giant Leeches<\/em> — has entered the lost world of slapstick comedy. Kaiju Search-Robot Avery reports!<\/p>\n

Now this one’s gonna be a blast! It’s a new dino comedy in the same vain as, say, Queen Kong, The Mighty Gorga<\/em> and Abbott and Costello in Africa Screams!<\/em>, or Caveman<\/em> and such [for all these see Addendum below]. Boy, we haven’t seen a slapstick buddy dino comedy as such for a long time. From Brett Kelly the director of the redux of Attack of the Giant Leeches<\/em>, and other cool flicks such as The Scarab<\/em>, Iron Soldier<\/em>, the Bonesetter<\/em> series, Prey for the Beast<\/em> and Pirates Quest for Snake Island<\/em>, and co-writer Trevor Payer comes She-Rex<\/em><\/strong>. It’s kind of a ’40s style Ritz Bros comedy [see Addendum 5] with dinosaurs — something Bud Abbott and Lou Costello might have done if Willis O’Brien had got drunk with them one night after the premiere of Mighty Joe Young<\/em>. It stars\u00a0 Shawna McSheffrey, Ray Besharah, Brett Kelly himself, and others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Director\/star Kelly has supplied us with a bunch of production shots — full of pith helmets, baggy shorts, cavemen and women in furry knickers, open-mouthed double-takes, bad moustaches, and of course dinosaur hand-puppets.<\/p>\n
