* BaitTheDog: When the T. rex starts causing trouble, Hacker insists he's going to go look for Julio, who ran away and whom he's terribly worried about. Betty uses this to claim that "nobody's all bad." However, he doesn't care about what happens to Julio; he just wants to find the now missing Caveman he's trying to keep a secret from everyone.
* BigBadWannabe: Hacker. He's a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt island manager]] who acts like the isle is his personal kingdom and is all-around terrible person who causes even more trouble over the course of the film trying to capture the Caveman whom he intends to profit from. Unfortunately for him, the ''T. rex'' is a far greater threat whose presence routinely hinders his own plans and who ultimately gets him killed.

* BreakTheCutie: Julio goes through the emotional ringer throughout this movie. He's routinely mistreated by his legal guardian, Hacker, and watches both the Caveman and Brontosaurus he befriended die. By the end of the film, he's too depressed and sullen to eat and says [[GrowingUpSucks he doesn't want to grow anymore]].

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A 1960 Dinosaur movie.]]
Dinosaurs are blasted up from the ocean off of a Caribbean island. Frozen solid, they are brought to shore and revived by lightning. They proceed to run amok, along with a Caveman who was frozen along with them. The islanders are soon cut off from outside help and must survive the night.
