    The T REx should come back at the end and take one swing at the spino and kick its ass. T rex will always rule!

    Spino is just a stupid animal that looks like a crocodile with a fin and it's not even that popular. T-rex will always be the king.

    The rex in tlw dident have any trouble reaching up to bite the stoplight. Im sure that not even the movie spino's neck is any higher than the stoplight.


    At 6:38:23 PM on 6/25/2001, furtim said:
    If you want my opinion (which you illiterate fanboys obviously don't), I think that the Spino probably would have won in a fight.

    The T. rex isn't a fighter, it's a hunter. It's designed 100% for hunting and scavaging. Look at the design of the animal. The neck bends down, but not up. It has no arms to speak of. It's fast, and it's jaws are very powerful, but it's not a fighter. It's an ambush/chase predator. It runs down a hadrosaur, or whatever, and uses its powerful jaws to snap the animal's neck.

    But that doesn't work against the Spino, especially not the movie Spino. First, the Rex probably didn't have the element of surprise in the movie fight. It is, from all we can see, a stand-up fight between two opponents, more like a boxing match. Second, the Spino (in the movie) is taller than the Rex. Therefore, it's gonna be hard for the Rex to try to get in to use his jaws to snap the Spino's neck, a task made even harder by the the fact that the Spino's ridge blocks the way. Third, the Rex's neck isn't very good for reaching up, so the Rex can't go for the jugular... which also takes down the "pitbull" analogy. Fourth, the Spino has those claws, which I'm sure are very useful for defence... beat away the Rex if it manages to get in close. So what you have there is a fight which the Rex cannot win. Even if the Spino were defending in the fight, it would be able to win against the Rex simply because it wouldn't be able to be defeated by the Rex, which would eventually have to just give up.

    And the popularity of the Rex in toys is precisely why he needs to lose in this movie. Everybody loves the T. rex, and it's hurting other dinosaurs. Everyone just wants to know about the T. rex, and they couldn't care less about anything else. It's a detriment to paleontology, really. Not to mention a detriment to further Jurassic Park movies. Lots of people are probably already sick of seeing the Rex as the dino star in every dino movie since the beginning of dino movies! I know I am. It's time for a new king.


    At 4:27:42 PM on 6/25/2001, Mighty T-rex said:
    No, actually, T-rex was faster. It's simply due to the spinosaurus sail, which made it hard for the spinosaur to turn and dodge blows from an opponent, and there is NO WAY in the world that you can tell whether or not it was more vicious.


    At 3:52:32 PM on 6/25/2001, biggestjp3fan said:
    personally, i think the t-rex was meant to lose. so he was heavier and stronger, spino was more vicious and was much quicker. and people get all worked up about how the spino is considered bigger than the t-rex, he wasn't. he was taller and longer, but not necessarily bigger. i wouldn't be concerned because Jack Horner is the dino consultant for these movies, so lets just go along with what he says.


    At 10:59:15 AM on 6/25/2001, JPFreak99 said:
    Actually if you all remember way back I think in January Dan posted the scraped ending saying the T-Rex was originally supossed to win.

    ANOTHER THING ALLOSAURUS THAT LITTLE PUSSY WAS SMALLER WAY MORE WEAKER THAN REX HELL SPINO WOULD TAKE ALLOSAURUS DOWN

    i hate dumb muthafuckas i swear what the hell you talking about its a fuckin movie they spiced up the spinos role fool in real actually life were grant name aint grant rex would smash the shit out of spino spino aint shit so give ya good riddance to his ass cause in this lifetime rex was the muthafuckin king his size ummm no remember giganot charco and suchomimus were close to rex in size giganot and chAR-DAWG WERE BIGGER BUT FAR MORE WEAKER......SPINO WINS IN THE MOVIEWHO Cares SOMETHINGS FUNNY THOUG WHY BECAUSE ALL EYES ARE STILL ON REX TOYS LUNCHBOXES SHIRTS WITH REX SOME WITH SPINO REX MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING IN JP3 THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS AGAIN LIKE KILL THAT BITCH AT THE END LIKE A REAL REX WOULD DO IN REAL LIFE AND ITS NOT CAUSE OF THE LOST WORLD REX IS STILL THE MOST FAMOUS IN JP3 WATCH SPINO GET PLAYED THE FUCK OUT WITH HIS RETARDED GAY LOOKING ASS


    At 4:42:24 AM on 6/25/2001, furtim said:
    I don't care about any of this speculation over who WOULD win. All I know is that the Rex gets his butt kicked, and I say good riddance to bad rubbish. The Rex needs to be taken down, because he's really not that remarkable. Sure, biggest carnivore and what have you, but the Rex isn't very interesting compared to even other similar theropods like Allosaurus. His size is the only thing that makes him stand out, and, if you ask me, that's a pretty piss-poor claim to fame.

    I know....i pretty much acknowledged that...but still...we all know the spino wins...so he must be doin something right....cuz it isn't luck or nothing....whatever it is....i dunno...what im sorta thinking is that back in the day, t-rex was the biggest and most powerful predator around at the time and he was taking out the fast and equally dangerous trikes and such...and see what some people don't get(not accusin anybody) is that predators tried to avoid major confrontations with these dangerous herbovoires as uch as possible....the just wanted to get one in mortal situation either by a strong hit that either killed or would kill later or separate one...which is what t-rex could do well.....it was certainly the fastest creature of its size and combine that with with a powerful jaw he could take out prey easily if given the chance....and even in a confrontation with another large predator over a kill or protecting a nest or even two males having a littlt sparring match during mating season....they werer mostly nonfatal and some werer just shouting matches untill one side gavew up....now if this was in a normal situation and the spino and rex met, they would most likely roar and size each other up until one gave up and left the territory...but on isla sorna, it could prolly get cramped and when anything gets cramped it gets irratable and pisssed and well you can pretty much guess the rrest....


    At 12:46:12 AM on 6/25/2001, Big Rex said:
    No, size doesn't matter. Size is not the issue. The fact is that Tyrannosaurus' jaw strength and muscle strength is estimated to be far superior to any other predator. Things like that with structure and anatomy is what makes T-rex superior, not he size.


    At 11:36:04 PM on 6/24/2001, Faulkner said:
    i don't think the fight depends on whose stronger or not...cuz obviously t-rex has the weight advantage and has a major weapon atop his neck...the spino is ligthter and that may give him more manueverability and does have those claws...buit the spino may just be putting more heart into it....its the same situation today with humans...like in foootball for example.....you could have one giant muscular man at the offensive line and a reletively smaller skinner guy at linebacker....usually you'd think the big guy'd win if they went head on.....but if the linebacker can run in fast and low, leverage will be on his side and he can knoc\k the big guy on his ass...i dunno if thats a good analogy but i dunno...i just mean that size don't always matter

    The Rex is a pussy, anyway. His time has come and gone.

    how can the spinosaurus have an ass (or arse as we brits say) growing on it's mouth? If it does then it is seriously deformed!!! maybe it's a mutation from ingen's cloning process.

    ok for everyone who says, "Uh..thanks a lot for telling the t-rex wins(sarcasm)." Look on the Jp3 poster. Its a spino! Doesn't that already tell you that the Spino reigns king?!?!?!?!?!?

    u right it just a movie and the rex did look shitty look at the rexes on the lost world and jp1 man they were vicious looking as hell heads were bigger too this is why many believe its the baby rex that loses cause the ones in the lost world were bigger and more vicious and there heads were just as big as spinos just not a long ass mouth

    Why would you want to do that? I would MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH rather wait a few days and see it for real than to see it on a cheap, blurred, illegal copy. No way in hell would I ruin the movie for myself like that.

    This might be a lttle off topic, but the sneak peak is the 12th, but the movie doesnt come out until the 18th, you think anyone will sneak a camcorder and rip it to the internet??? We might be able to see it around the 13th or so...

    anyway if you say size doesn't matter it doesn't matter that the T.Rex is bigger and heavier!

    Hey you're right about the T-Rex! He has to win the fight, the Spino has bigger claws but size doesn't matter.
    T-Rex must win, that is my opinion!!!

    But does he win??


    At 2:01:59 AM on 6/24/2001, Mighty T-rex said:
    Hehe. They're pointing it out. T-rex like Muhammad Ali and Spinosaurus like Joe Frazier, eh? Ya' know what happened in Ali vs. Fraziers 2 and 3? Guess what, Ali pulled out the win. They're right, T-rex was a much better fighter than Spinosaurus. And heavyer(Ali was heavyer than Frazier)

    Yeah Utahraptor I wish I could ...."sue 100% of his/her brain...."


    At 1:44:09 AM on 6/24/2001, Utahraptor said:
    WarEagle, studies have shown that fatter people, are less intelligent than skinny people. So obessity doles out a new handicap. But I think there's a certain limit. IE, lose 5 pounds, you don't gain more intelligence.
    And you cna have the biggest brain around, even in body size comaprision, but if you use 1% of it, you'll never be intelligent. Imgaine if a human could sue 100% of his/her brain? Then there's wriinkles, and differnet part sizes. Ie, Albert Einstein had one section bigger than normal, giving him his mathemagic skills.
    I think Spino wins ebcause he's still pumped up on adrenalin from being hit by the plane, and subsequent injuries while atatcking it, and T-rex is caught off gaurd by thsi nobody charging him.


    At 1:01:45 AM on 6/24/2001, furtim said:
    I think that the advantage the filmmakers are giving to the Spino in this fight are not the jaws at all, but rather the massive clawed arms on the Spino. It's rather obvious, from both the "bitchslap" scene in one of the trailers and from several of the interviews with Stan Winston, that those big arms will be the factors that win the fight for the Spino, and that the jaws, if used at all, would only be to seal the victory.

    And also, my personal opinion on intelligence is that it depends far more on the internal structure of the brain, i.e. the connections between the neurons, than on any exterior factors, like the size of the brain or the brain to body mass ratio.

    I don't this fight seem to much Godzilla like...


    At 11:17:26 PM on 6/23/2001, tyranosaurus-R said:
    I have looked it up and most sources say that the t-rex still has a stronger jaws than any of the new bigger dinosaurs. And in comparing the skulls of the two dinos in the picture looks similar to the skulls of a doberman pinscher vs. a pitbull. And nobody can realistically beleive a doberman can take down a pitbull. Thats just my opinion and probley a crappy analogy.

    there are no animatronic/CG shot in any movie before JPIII

    Actually, the EQ (brain to body ratio) isn't important in determining an animal's intelligence either. Nowadays, scientists are considering the density of neurons within the brain.


    At 9:19:13 PM on 6/23/2001, WarEagle said:
    Hey, Sinorsis! If that is so, then why aren't all skinnier people smarter than the heavier set people in this world. It is a sad theory when you actually think about it. In the future, the theory will probably have gone the way of the Dinosaurs. In my experience, intelligence comes with how much brainpower is actually utilized. The average human only utilizes 10% of their brain capacity, the more intelligent people use around 15%. Plus, the bigger the brain, the more you can utilize. But, in the end, you were actually correct in a way, because brain size would not matter as would the actual utilization of the brain's capacity. But having a larger brain would give you a good head start, you just have to use it. But, until the day comes when that theory is thrown out the window, you are right in fact that Troodon would be smarter.


    At 8:51:08 PM on 6/23/2001, Sinorsis said:
    Actually WarEagle, brain size itself does not determind intelligence. What really matters is brain size compared to overall size of the animal itself. This ratio is at an optimum level in Troodon, supposedly the smartest dinosaur.


    At 8:26:54 PM on 6/23/2001, WarEagle said:
    If the movie was very scientifically accurate, the T-Rex would win the fight against Mr. "Wanna-Be-A-Tough-Guy-But-Ain't-One" Spinosaurus. T-Rex is more powerful. T-Rex has the largest brain of any dinosaur,period. It would be my guess for the most intelligent Dino. Those raptors are nothing, too! T-Rex Rules!

    What were they thinking! I can see those three slashes on the poster just fine. It's just those stupid wanna-be-cool-so-I'll-act-like-I-didn't-see-it critics that try to criticize anything "Jurassic Park" just because it does better than the movies they like.

    I kindof agree about the JPIII poster, it is striking, but it doesnt say very much about the movie, if you want a really cool poster, see the newest planet of the apes one.It is very cool....

    RaptorRampage-
    A new process is being used with the CGI vs. animatronic shots. What they're doing is that they're COMBINING techniques. So for instance, in one single shot, you'll be seeing both animatronic AND CGI together to help create a very realistic dinosaur. I.e., you'll see an animatronic head/body and CGI legs. So, in that sense, it doesn't really do any good to do a CGI vs. animatronic count, considering some will be overlapped. Hope this helps your question.

    That is a piece of conceptual artwork or something...its not really in the movie. Don't believe me oh well wait until the 18th. A similar shot like this was on AICN and it was artwork, or CG work in progress, because it was SO obviously fake. If you guys think that looks real, well, welcome to the new age of ILM, which started about 8 years ago.
