Trivia / Dinosaurs Attack!

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: The flesh-eating Triceratops might qualify, seeing as evidence has surfaced to suggest that the species was actually at least partially omnivorous. Still, it's highly unlikely that living humans would be on the menu (the most prevailing idea for the "omnivorous Triceratops" concept is that it would just occasionally scavenge for some extra protein, whereas here it's messily devouring any living thing that looks at it funny).
• Science Marches On:
  • In the IDW Publishing comic book adaptation, some of the dinosaurs are portrayed more realistically.
  • Trachodon is no longer a real genus. It has since been reassigned to Edmontosaurus.
  • The educational sticker for Pteranodon calls it "the largest creature that ever flew", this series having circulated before the even larger azhdarchid pterosaurs (some of which had wingspans in excess of 10 metres) were very well-known outside of scientific circles.
• Un-Canceled: Back in 1991, Eclipse Comics attempted to adapt the trading cards into a three-issue comic book miniseries, but the series was canceled after only the first issue was published. 22 years later, however, IDW Publishing reprinted the original Eclipse Comics issue and finally continued the story by publishing four more issues to revive the comic as a five-issue miniseries.
• What Could Have Been: As stated on the main page, Tim Burton was originally going to make a film adaptation of Dinosaurs Attack!, but decided not to because of a certain more well-known franchise involving dinosaurs existing in contemporary times.
