The Sarco Brothers (named Sarco and Surly) are the two main antagonists of the 2012 Korean computer-animated film Dino Time (released in America as Back to the Jurassic). They are aggressive and evil Sarcosuchuses.
Sarco was voiced by William Baldwin, and Surly was voiced by Stephen Baldwin. On the other hand, both of their vocal effects were provided by Dee Bradley Baker.
Background[]
Sarco is a red Sarcosuchus. He is a wicked reptile with what appears to be dreadlocks on his head.
Surly is a blue Sarcosuchus and Sarco's younger brother. He is not as smart as his older brother, but he is still just as powerful.
Biography[]
Sarco and Surly are the evil leaders of the dinosaur underworld. Their lair is sinking into the tar pits ever so slowly. Their goal is to rule the upper lush valley but cannot because of Tyra, the Tyrannosaurus, who protects it and will drive them off if they come near any of the dinosaurs in the upper valley. The only way for them to rule the upper valley is to steal her egg and lure her to their lair to finish her off.
They send Morris, Borace, and Horace, their prehistoric bird henchmen, to spy on Tyra and report back to them if they see anything particular. They also warn them that if they fail them in any way, they will eat them. When the birds tell them about Tyra's so called babies (who are really Ernie, Max, and Julia having arrived to the past through an egg-shaped time machine) they tell them to take the other egg in Tyra's nest (really the time machine) and bring it to them as bait. When Tyra doesn't show up, they tell them to bring them one of Tyra's babies knowing for a fact that she will come.
When the birds kidnap Julia the following day, Tyra, Ernie, Dodger, and Max give chase and follow them to the lower valley. Tyra fights the Sarco Brothers and defeats them by knocking them against a wall, and she, Max, and Julia try to escape before they regain consciousness. Ernie is chased out by Morris and his gang and ends up running into a dead end. Before they can eat him, Dodger is able to scare them, causing the henchmen to fall into a tar pit.
Ernie and the others reunite, but they end up getting lost, and run into the Sarco Brothers' lair again. Sarco and Surly pounce onto Tyra and quickly overpower her. The kids decide to let their time machine sink into the tar, and stay behind to help save Tyra from the Sarco Brothers. Sarco continues to attack Tyra, while Surly goes after Dodger and the kids after they provoke him. After Julia blinds Surly with her phone's camera flash, Ernie throws his rocket-powered skateboard into Surly's mouth and activates it. The ignition from the skateboard blasts Surly across the room until he falls into the lava, killing him. Enraged by his brother's death, Sarco lunges at the kids, but is stopped by Tyra, who is badly weakened by a partial cave collapse. When Sue and Dr. Santiago arrive in the lower valleys, Sarco lunges at them, but Tyra awakens in time to attack him. The two clash and despite Sarco nearly gaining the upper hand by biting Tyra's neck, Tyra regains her strength and pushes Sarco onto the edge of a cliff above boiling tar. Tyra sarcastically tells Sarco to warn her if the tar was too hot for him before breaking the cliff with a stomp, sending Sarco falling head first into the tar pit, killing the vicious Sarcosuchus once and for all.

Trivia[]
- Their voice actors, Stephen Baldwin and William Baldwin are the younger brothers of Alec Baldwin.
- Sarco and Surly do not accurately resemble the real life Sarcosuchus. They did not have fins for support in swimming. Sarcosuchuses are also smaller than the Sarco Brothers were.
- The Sarco Brothers bear striking resemblances to the Foetodons from the 2005 King Kong film, the Dinocroc from the 2004 and 2011 sci-fi films of the same name, and Rudy from the 2009 computer-animated film Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (due to the cross between both a real Sarcosuchus and a real Spinosaurus).
- Surly's name is never mentioned in the film, since he is just called "Mr. Other Sarco".
- A scar on Sarco's right eye can be noticed at closer inspection, presumably given to him by Tyra. This would explain why he and his brother despise her.
- In reality, Sarcosuchus lived in Africa and South America during the Early Cretaceous period and not in North America during the Late Cretaceous period like Tyrannosaurus.
