An unofficial sequel to the original Carnosaur (1993) trilogy. It often reuses stock footage from the original Carnosaur (1993) trilogy. Both Carnosaur (1993) and Raptor (2001) were produced by Roger Corman.
Even though James Horner is credited with the score, there is no original score in the film, instead it is tracked from previous film scores by Horner.
The image on the poster is the same as the Carnosaur 2 poster.
The scene where the teenage girl is brought out of her trauma-induced catatonic trance by playing a recording of a dinosaur's roar is taken from the iconic movie Them! (1954) where a little girl is brought out of a similar trance caused by her encounter with giant ants by having her sniff the fumes from a jar of formic acid.
The pickup truck falling off a bridge is stock footage from the movie Humanoids from the deep.
