Buechler and Magical Media Industries returned to create the special effects for "Carnosaur 2", which re-used the same dinosaur models from the first film, saving the production team money. The dinosaurs had been made with foam latex, which has a limited lifespan. The dinosaurs' mechanical parts also did not move as accurately, as a year had passed since the models were created. The dinosaurs received touch-ups for "Carnosaur 2". The "Deinonychus" were portrayed through puppetry and a creature suit; the latter was altered to make the animal look more like the raptors in "Jurassic Park". Miniature effects, created by Anthony Doublin, were also used on the film. Buechler had more freedom on "Carnosaur 2" compared to its predecessor. After filming, a week of post-production work was spent working on the dinosaur effects.
