![]() It's a great plot twist and set the stage for the T-Rex to act as a chaotic neutral force in the many sequels to come. Jurassic Park fans around the world mourn. Pictured above: JP III's Spino lords over the defeated T-rex. Pictured above: Jurassic Park III's Spino and T-rex square off in the largest puppet battle ever captured on film. Towards the very end of the film, though, the creature comes to Grant and the other's aid by attacking two of the remaining Velociraptors, just as they're about to have themselves a human sandwich. Pictured above: Jurassic Park III director, Joe Johnston lines up a shot of the Spino/T-rex fight on set. This all goes back to the original movie, where the T-Rex initially breaks loose (after the park's security facilities are turned off) and kills the lawyer Donald Gennaro, severely injures Malcolm, and nearly eats Grant, Lex, and Tim. Interestingly, from a storytelling perspective, the T-Rex has always walked the line between acting as an antagonist and ally to the humans in the Jurassic Park franchise. For the purposes of Jurassic Park, however, the T-Rex is very much a fan of hunting its food, as Grant observes at one point. The film plays fast and loose with what the actual T-Rex could and couldn't do (see also: when Grant famously claims the creature's vision is based on movement), and the debate about whether they were a predator, scavenger, or both rages on. A bipedal meat eater with (seemingly) disproportionately small forelimbs, the T-rex is believed to have had the strongest bite force among terrestrial animals in real-life, and is certainly talented at chomping down on things in Spielberg's movie. Outside of the Velociraptor, the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus rex is probably the dinosaur many people think of first when Jurassic Park is brought up. ![]()
