Sure, the new Brendan Fraser vehicle will be 3-D and have actual special effects, but will it have jungle women doing a super-choreographed dance around a roasting dinosaur head? I didn't think so. Another clip, below the fold, showcases more things the new Journey won't have: matriarchs in Bette Midler-esque red feather headgear, jealous stone-axe-waving husbands — and lizard people who want to watch two random humans do the nasty in exchange for a piece of weird cantaloupe.

Would they just keep shooting each other endlessly without accomplishing anything? We're lucky we have movies like Dead Heat to answer these tough questions for us. Also, if you've ever wondered what Vincent Price would sound like if he channeled an undead Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, cackling about how he'll live forever and avoid passing on his riches, this clip from Dead Heat has you covered. Sadly, a lot of the rest of this zombie buddy cop comedy, with Treat Williams and (Aieee!) Joe Piscopo as the zombie officers, is on the dull side. But we've got the best few minutes of zombie-shooting action for you.
