* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: {{Invoked}} InUniverse: what’s cooler than a CondemnedContestant battle royale? One with dinosaurs trying to eat them!

* StockDinosaurs: Tyrannosaurs, Velociraptors, Pterosaurs and a Triceratops all make an appearance. There's also a sabre-toothed tiger, and a swarm of what appear to be trilobites.

The Jurassic Games is a 2018 ScienceFiction {{Action|Genre}} film directed by Ryan Bellgardt, In a [[{{Dystopia}} dystopian]] near future, a violent virtual reality television show has taken the world by storm. It sees ten DeathRow inmates being sent to a CGI world to battle dinosaurs and other prehistoric hazards (as well as each other). The last one alive wins and is given a full pardon for their crimes. Even though it's virtual reality, injuries cause real pain and dying during the game results in a real life lethal injection. However, one of the participants in this year's event, Tucker (Adam Hampton), is actually innocent. The producers must also contend with a protest group called the Cavemen, who have threatened to hijack the show and finally bring it to an end.

** They are also hooked up to a LotusEaterMachine via a [=VR=] helmet, that registers when they die in the simulation, [[Manga/SwordArtOnline then the helmet will receive a signal to kill them in real life]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs:

* HateSink: Joy manages to stand out among the various criminals and murderers by being a sadistic serial killer, she also targets Tucker and reveals [[spoiler: that she was the one who murdered his wife.]]

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Most of the dinosaurs are based more on popular culture depictions rather than the real deal. Then again, this is a game show - the hosts probably wanted them to look this way.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Though she is the producer of a cruel and bloody game show, Savannah believes that the contestants, all violent murderers who have hurt scores of innocent people, deserve to suffer for their crimes. Her only regret is that one of them will get out alive. [[spoiler: However, it's unclear if she too, likes the host, knows that Tucker really is innocent while making him take part in the games.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: The program's designers were told to make the dinosaurs as realistic as possible. So when several T-rexes are unleashed together at the end, the territorial carnivores ignore the remaining contestants and fight each other instead.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Regardless of the legality of the games, there is no way ''in hell'' that any modern legal authority would allow a criminal convicted of the crimes the contestants were charged with to be fully pardoned, since there's nothing stopping said convicts from repeating their actions all over again.

* LaserGuidedKarma / HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:At the end the Host gets put into the game himself and is eaten by a T-rex.]]

* ShoutOut: The protagonist was [[Film/TheFugitive wrongly convicted of killing his wife and sentenced to death.]]

* BottomlessMagazines: Averted here, even though they're in a virtual reality game. His gun runs out of ammo quite quickly and they have to acquire more.
