* BaitAndSwitch: A rather bizarre attempt at one; when Teddy is being partnered with Coltrane, the camera cuts to this large muscular guy with a dramatic music cue, who is then shoved out of the way by the actual Coltrane. This gag probably could've worked... if this had been Coltrane's introduction into the movie. However, by this point they had ''already established'' Coltrane to be Whoopi Goldberg's character in prior scenes, leaving one to wonder how the filmmakers thought that joke was supposed to work.

Say, would you like to see a direct-to video sci-fi movie that is a loose ripoff of ''Film/BladeRunner'', except it stars Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]]? You wouldn't? Oh... well, TOO BAD, they made one!
Goldberg only completed the movie because Creator/NewLineCinema threatened to sue her if she walked off the film (after seeing Creator/KimBasinger get sued into bankruptcy after the fiasco that was ''Film/BoxingHelena,'' she decided she could live with the shame if it meant keeping the lights on). ''Theodore Rex'' was initially intended as a ''theatrical release'' but went straight to home video instead, making it ''the most expensive direct-to-video picture'' of the pre-streaming age. That's certainly something to keep in mind if you dare to watch it.
You know that ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' movie? ''Theodore Rex'' is very similar, and arguably even stranger.
According to an OpeningScroll, the story is set in a [[DarkerAndEdgier Dark and Edgy]] {{Cyberpunk}} city "A long time ago in the future" (really), where humans coexist with [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals]] that have been resurrected and genetically modified by well-known billionaire and scientist Elizar Kane.

He gets his chance when he is partnered with Katie Coltrane (Goldberg) to solve another the murder of another anthro ''T.rex'' named Oliver.
Then things get ''weirder.''
