Tammy and the T-Rex

Tammy is at cheerleader practice when her new boyfriend Michael arrives from football practice to observe. He watches from the sidelines, signaling the start of their relationship.

Tammy introduces Michael to Byron, her friend who is openly supportive of their relationship. Byron quickly approves of Michael as Tammy's new boyfriend, signaling a positive social circle around them.

Tammy's violent ex-boyfriend Billy arrives with his gang and harasses Michael. A tense confrontation builds, drawing in Tammy and others and escalating the conflict.

Police arrive to break up the fight and take Billy into custody. Tammy, overwhelmed by the chaos, breaks down and runs away in tears.

In a dark warehouse, a Tyrannosaurus rex robot sits in the shadows as Dr. Wachenstein and Helga enter. The lights come on and the robot begins to move under hidden control.

The Doctor explains his plan to implant a living human brain into the robot to grant it consciousness, mobility, and immortality. He outlines the dangerous method and sets the sinister plot in motion.

Later that night, Michael sneaks out to see Tammy. Billy and his thugs catch up and chase Michael, intensifying the danger around him.

Billy's gang captures Michael and throws him into a wild animal park where lions and jaguars roam. The brutal act foreshadows the tragedy to come and sets Michael on a perilous path.

A lion mauls Michael, leaving him comatose. He is rushed to a hospital where his intoxicated uncle watches over him, blurring the line between tragedy and care.

Dr. Wachenstein and Helga declare Michael dead so they can use his brain to control their robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. After the transfer, Michael's brain is activated inside the robot, and it begins to move with new purpose.

Inside the robotic body, Michael escapes and exacts vengeance on his high school tormentors. He is eventually reunited with Tammy, who realizes the dinosaur is actually him and seeks a way to help him.

Dr. Wachenstein pursues the creature, leading to a chase that ends with Michael killing the doctor. Police open fire and destroy the mechanical dinosaur to end the threat.

Tammy recovers Michael's brain and takes it home, hooking it up to her computer, speakers, and video camera as a temporary measure while they search for a new body. The setup lets Michael speak and see, though it relies on the improvised rig.

Through the hookups, Michael gains the ability to see and hear, allowing him to observe Tammy performing a striptease. The moment highlights the fragile nature of their temporary solution and the looming need for a safer body.
