** ArtisticLicensePalaeontology: The ''Rhedosaurus'' is a fictional genus, so this is forgivable, but - as a quadrupedal carnivore - it's a ''really'' weird dinosaur. Curiously enough, its quadrupedal stance makes it resemble more [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeNonDinosaurianReptiles rauisuchians]] like ''Fasolasuchus'', relatives of crocodiles that were apex predators during the Triassic.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the short story that the movie is [[InNameOnly loosely]] inspired by, "[[Literature/TheFogHorn The Foghorn]]" by Creator/RayBradbury, the dinosaur is a much more sympathetic and tragic figure, coming to a lighthouse because it mistakes the horn for the cry of a member of its own species (it is strongly implied to be [[LastOfHisKind the only one left]]). Although it destroys the lighthouse in a rage when the horn is turned off, no one is killed, and it shows no interest in further destruction, returning to the ocean peacefully. The human characters respond to it with sympathy and respect, indeed never even considering killing it. In the film, the creature is [[PrehistoricMonster mindlessly violent]] and must be killed, while the original creature is more lonely and desperate than anything else and hides from humans under normal circumstances.
