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, he 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...

A jaw-dropping assault on good taste from the whacked out mind of cult filmmaker Stewart Raffill (The Ice Pirates; Mac & Me), TAMMY AND THE T-REX features Denise Richards (Wild Things) in her first starring role, alongside Paul Walker (The Fast & the Furious), Terry Kiser (Weekend at Bernie’s), George “Buck” Flower (They Live), and John F. Goff (Drive-In Massacre). Primarily seen in its heavily censored PG-13 version, Vinegar Syndrome brings TAMMY AND THE T-REX to 4k Ultra HD and Blu-ray fully uncut for the first time on home video, with all of its gross-out gags and gratuitous decapitations, gut-rippings, and head-smashings, courtesy of special effects wizard John Carl Buechler (Mausoleum), completely intact.

Reviews

Excellent 1st Vinegar Syndrome Purchase

"This might be my new favorite so bad it's good movie. I flat out lost it every time the obviously human rubber t-rex hands made an appearance. Visible wires, raging forest fires in the background that never get mentioned, beer drinking brains, this movie has it all! The transfer looked great on my 120" projector setup too. I'll definitely be buying more from vinegar syndrome in the future."

Tammy and the T-Rex

"A cheerleader's boyfriend gets his brain transplanted into a robotic T-Rex by a mad scientist named Dr. Wachenstein, because apparently the '90s were a lawless time. The lenticular slipcover shifts between "charming teen romance" and "giant dinosaur on a murder spree," which is the most accurate visual metaphor for this film ever conceived."

Phil L. (4/5)

Dumb and campy with goofy gore

"Basically my kind of movie. Had a lot of fun with this and I'm glad we got the uncensored gory version. This whole thing feels like an R-rated made for TV Disney teen romance film mixed with a absurdly silly mad scientist-themed Nickelodeon film."

Ian B. (5/5)

I thought his vision was supposed to be based on movement

"What a crazy movie. Check your brain at the door. Vinegar Syndrome comes through again with an amazing restoration with some ridiculous comedy and entertaining violence. Gotta say, at least it's better than the last few Jurassic Park movies"

Dennis K. (5/5)

Silly Times with a Cult Classic

"After years of curiosity, I picked this film up on sale. It is bonkers and yes that’s why it’s fun. Plenty of weirdness and questionable directing choices add to its charm. It’s definitely worth a watch. Vinegar Syndrome again did a great job with the restoration and loaded the release with extra features. Nonetheless, I’m not sure if it will become a classic for me. But that doesn’t mean it won’t for you…and bonus…you get to see Terry Kiser (Bernie Lomax from Weekend At Bernie’s) play a diabolical mad Dr."

Mike T. (4/5)

Just a stone cold VS

"Just a stone cold VS classic! I’d be surprised if most VS customers wouldn’t dig this one. Very fun watch with some buddies."

Matthew P. (5/5)

Interesting movie

"Paul walker is cool in this. Honestly though last scene makes most people including the actress herself uncomfortable."

Michael S. (4/5)

Dumb fun

"Better than I expected! Great schlock movie! Lots of violence!"
