King Dinosaur (1955)

A new planet appears in the solar system and settles into orbit near the Earth. Americans fly there in a V-2 rocket and find the place is crawling with dinosaurs. It was difficult to watch and should have been illegal. The dinosaurs were mostly small alligators and large iguanas thrown together so they'd fight, filmed in slow motion from a low angle so they'd look giant.

I always thought you could do that with a couple of those weird hairless kittens, show them playing in slow motion on a miniature set with a couple of tiny palm trees. Cut to shots of people watching in horror at the giant, big-eared dinosaurs.
