Amidst rumors that the eponymous mountain outside a small village in Mexico may be cursed as farmers and their cattle never return from it, American rancher Jimmy Ryan (Madison) butts heads with the hard-headed Enrique (who believes that Jimmy is trying to steal away his fiance, Sarita), pals around with fellow rancher Pancho and his son Panchito, and attempts to solve the mystery of why people and animals who wander into Hollow Mountain never seem to return. He and his friends eventually discover that a Tyrannosaurus Rex lives, and havoc ensues.

* TheAlcoholic: Pancho "drinks to forget his wife"...but it's likely he'd drink anyway. This is played for jokes. In The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, [[DudeNotFunny Jonah and the Bots are understandably disgusted over it]].

* DiabolusExNihilo: The titular beast. The film is a typical generic Western for the first three quarters, and then, out of nowhere, a dinosaur attacks. If one wasn't aware of the title or pitched premise one would be left with the impression that some crazy [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling executive]] [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs shoehorned a T rex]] into an otherwise ordinary Mexican romance.

* TyrannosaurusRex: What the eponymous beast turns out to be. Except it had three fingers instead of two, making it seem more like an Allosaurus.
