Reception
A reviewer credited as "Lor." of Variety reviewed the Lightning Video home video on January 10, 1987. "Lor." described the film as a "poor Italian exploitation film, made worse by an intentionally misleading title: there are no dinosaurs or fantasy elements in this potboiler." The review concluded that "This sexploitationer mixes prat-fall comedy, disrobing women and the usual gore carelessly."
