An American-Japanese coproduction, involving a tired, over-the-hill big game hunter named Masten Thrust (Richard Boone) who goes on one final hunting expedition to kill the greatest predator that ever lived: Tyrannosaurus rex. The film's title has a dual meaning, referring both to the T-rex and to Thrust himself, whose breed of great white hunter adventurer is going extinct.
The following firearms were used in The Last Dinosaur.
Bolt-Action Rifle
Masten Thrust's (Richard Boone) hunting rifle of choice. It is only carried and used briefly before jamming. Bizarrely, actor Boone continuously works the rifle's bolt for a dramatic gun cock before firing a round, which would just eject unfired rounds, something a trained hunter like Thrust shouldn't do. Strangest of all is that when the weapon finally jams up, Thrust throws it away instead of keeping it and attempting to clear the jam. Later, though, he recovers the rifle, but not to clear the jam; instead he cannibalizes the rifle's scope to use on a homemade crossbow.
