History Film / AztecRex

* AlternateHistory: This movie has Spanish explores discover a tribe of Aztecs that worship a pair of Tyrannosaurus Rex which are somehow alive 65 million years after when they are supposed to be extinct.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The two tyrannosaurs are somehow able to sustain themselves on what appears to be a diet of human hearts and the only animals that they could prey on in the region would be smaller mammals, birds, lizards and crocodilians which would likely not provide enough food for a pair of 7-9 ton dinosaurs.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The Tyrannosaurs are portrayed as traditionally scaly, T-rex is now considered to have most likely been partially feathered, although the idea of feathered theropods wasn't so prominent when the film was released and it clearly had a very limited special-effects budget. Its possible the "Thunder Lizards" in the film could have lost their feathers during 65 million years of continued evolution.

* GiantAnimalWorship: The Aztec tribe worships and perform regular human sacrifice to two Tyrannosaurus Rex.

* TRexpy: The Thunder Lizards are odviously descended from Tyrannosaurus rex, however they are never referred to as T-Rexes because of the fact that the name wasn't coined until several centuries after the first Spaniards arrived in the Americas.
