Tammy and the T-Rexis a 1994 science fiction/comedy starring future stars Denise Richards and Paul Walker. The low budget film centres around the life of small town high school student Tammy. Michael, Tammy's boyfriend, is frequently harassed by a local bully named Billy who is obsessed with Tammy.

Synopsis Michael and Tammy are two high school kids that are in love with one another, despite Tammy's relationship with a violent bully named Billy, which escalades one afternoon into a violent fight in which Billy is beaten by Michael. Later that night when Billy sneaks out to see Tammy, Billy and his thugs chase and catch Michael, throwing him into the wild Animal Park where lions run loose. A lion mauls Michael and he is left in a comatose state. He is brought to a hospital where his intoxicated uncle watches over him. Dr. Wachenstein and his assistant Helga declare Michael dead so they can use his brain to control an animatronic dinosaur that Wachenstein has created. After his brain is installed Michael escapes and wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors and is reunited with his [1] sweetheart Tammy. She realizes the dinosaur is Michael and begins a search to find a more suitable body for him. However Dr. Wachenstein is in hot pursuit of his creation. This leads to a chase scene that ends with Michael killing the doctor. Police officers open fire and destroy the mechanical dinosaur. Tammy manages to recover Michael’s brain. In the end she takes it home with her and hooks his brain up to her computer and video camera (which is [2] temporary until they find a new body for him) which allows him to see her perform a striptease for him.

Meet the Deedlesis a 1998 American comedy film directed by Steve Boyum and starring Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer. It was the first theatrically released film to be produced by DIC Entertainment since 1986 (after Heathcliff: The Movie). Its name is a play on the Beatles albumMeet The Beatles. It is also one of Disney's attempts to capitalize on surf culture, the other two prime examples areJohnny TsunamiandRip Girls.

Plot Phil Deedle (Paul Walker) and Stew Deedle (Steve Van Wormer) are two fraternal twin brothers who are complete surf bums living in Hawaii off of their wealthy father. After the two decide to skip out on school to go on a special surfing expedition with friends for their birthday, the twins are expelled from their high school for truancy. Their father Elton Deedle (Eric Braeden) has become tired of their insolence and lazy lifestyle and thus decides to ship them to a boot camp to straighten them out. The boys are horrified that they’re going to have to fly state-side in order for this to happen, as the camp is located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The boys arrive in Wyoming ill prepared for the far-cooler weather, disembarking from their plane dressed in shorts, flip-flops and hula shirts. They attract the attention of a small crowd when they summon a remote controlled crate containing a mini-bar that they
