Synopsis:
Tammy is a popular high school cheerleader whose new boyfriend,
Michael, might be the love of her life. But Tammy’s jealous ex, Billy,
won’t stand for anyone coming between him and ‘his’ girl, so he and his
friends kidnap Michael, leaving him to be mauled by a lion in a local
wildlife reserve. Comatose and at death’s door, Michael’s body is
stolen from the hospital by mad scientist Dr. Wachenstein, who extracts
his brain and implants it into a giant robotic T-Rex. Horrified by his
predicament and new dinosaur body, Michael escapes from the doctor’s
lab and begins brutally killing his former bullies. Meanwhile Tammy and
her best friend Byron start searching for a suitable human corpse in
which to re-transplant Michael’s brain...
