32 Quotes From the Best Dinosaur Movie Taglines

Not all dinosaur movies are equal, as anyone who's seen both "Jurassic Park" and "Tammy and the T. Rex" can tell you. However, that's not to say that even a truly bad movie about dinosaurs or prehistoric animals (not to mention a pretty good one) can't have a truly memorable tag line that packs people into theaters or Netflix queues. Here are the most rousing dinosaur movie slogans in genre history.
