Then again, Jurassic Park/World doesn’t follow logic and reality. Everyone knows the Spinosaurus was a hybrid. The Indominus, Indoraptor, and dinosaurs even being a thing are enough.

I think you’re totally right, Klayton. I mean, if you actually look at the fight in the film, they’re roughly the same size. I’m with you though, the fight never really bothered me personally, I know they wanted to focus on a new threat for the movie, and I was excited to see a new big bad. Spinosaurus wasn’t a super well known animal either, back then, so to see a new fairly unknown dinosaur in JP was really exciting, at least for me. I loved the T. Rex, but we had a lot of it the previous two films, I’m glad they went in a little different direction. That all being said though, yes, I think the way they handled to fight could’ve been a little more respectful to the Rex and the fans. The fight was pretty abrupt, the Spino basically shows up and kills the Rex. So I definitely get some of the anger from fans. Had they made the fighter a little longer, and a little more balanced, and even, Idk, made the fight a draw, or have the Rex give the Spino a serious wound.. I think that would’ve gone a long way as far as fans were concerned.

[@joshmoonXY]

A little late but I totally agree what you said. 20 years ago I was upset too but I got over it for two reasons: One the writers wanted to introduce the new "Big bad" and went better introduction than the clap the previous big bad. Still salty but I understand. Plus spinosaurus is clearly larger and longer than jp3 T-Rex. You would think in nature size matters a lot sometimes more than smarts and agility. Plus there was a moment when the T-Rex left himself wide open for the spinosaurus to deliver a lethal counter. So again I'm still salty by how abrupt the fight was I can accept it because the Rex left himself open and the spinosaurus is clearly larger and stronger.

Honestly seems like splitting hairs for those who insist the T.rex was "way smaller". The Spinosaurus was also downsized in the size chart and a 37 foot long T.rex is only going to be marginally smaller than a 40 foot one of comparable build. Klayton's right on the money here.

I always thought that the DVD size chart was made to further show how bigger the Spino is rather than making a retcon of sorts to appease fans. That being said, what always caught my attention was the moment when the Rex almost steps on Alan. You can see his foot is smaller than that of the female Rex from TLW (whose foot almost crushed Carter completely). This makes me wonder if the female Rexes ("Rexy" and "Doe") are actually bigger than males. Anyway, the fight scene in JP3 never bothered me. I liked they chose another species as the main predator, and the Spino was a cool choice that added more variety to the franchise.

Yes, in the book version of the jurassic park movies, specifcally the lost world, the females are stated to be bigger than the males

[@smileyfawler8454]

Firstly, I love your videos. Secondly I have to point out it wasn't remotely how as you suggested with the Star Wars analogy. Everyone acts like it killed off "THE" T. Rex, but it killed "A" T. Rex. A rex we've never seen before. I would understand somewhat if it killed Rexy but it was a random one. You're right about the Rex being an adult though. That was always the intention. Spino was just supposed to be a very powerful animal and that's all there is to it. He made for a very entertaining dinosaur and since JP3 he has remained on my top spot of favourite dino in the franchise. They did a great job with him and the film was good fun. He didn't replace the T. Rex like everyone suggests, he just kills a random one. Admittedly the fight wasn't as good as it should have been but that's because the Spino animatronic destroyed the rex animatronic, so they had no choice but to do it in CGI due to scheduling.

[@dryboneskirby]

Size chart Rex in pre-production looks about the same size as the DVD release. I think the perceived difference is just the power of suggestion because the Rex has the sub-adult label on it and the Ankylosaurus is between the Rex and Spino in the DVD release (unlike the pre-production chart which is less spaced out and has a Galli or something between them, but close enough that the Rex is right on the Spino’s tail), making it more difficult to tell. Edit: also you can tell they’ve only applied the label and kept the size the same if you compare the size to the Para. In both images the Rex is slightly larger than it.

Using a previously built prop, stage, or animatronic is a good way to save money. Especially when it's one that big. Having it lose to the spinosaurus makes sense story wise as well. They were trying to establish this new dinosaur as not just a new threat but that there was seriously something wrong with it. It turning out to be some kind of hybrid that we find on the Masrani site makes it winning make sense. It also just shows nature at work.

They did the damage control afterwards to make up for it, and I don't hold any grudge towards the film or crew for it, but I'm definitely not a fan of Horner.

@@Black_Wolf1357 The JP3 Rex was intended to be an adult, but the official canon has it listed as a sub-adult. Also, let me clarify, I don’t hate the movie or the Spinosaur, I actually like the movie more than most, but I’m still not happy about the real world shenanigans that led to that disappointing (and far too short) apex fight. Side note: if I’m not mistaken, the T-Rex IRL had an estimated bite force that was somewhere in the realm of 13,000 pounds or six and a half TONS! You wouldn’t even feel anything, you’d just be dead instantly.

@@ir0nleviathan577 actually the trex in jp3 is still remaining full grown bull trex, it was never mentioned or listed sub adult once from the makers, it's not on any interviews or commentaries or behind the scenes or Twitter or Instagram etc. nothing, not once. For the bite force in reality yes I know they would be dead, they would be crushed but in Jurassic franchise the trexes don't have a bone crushing bite force, it has a strong bite but not as strong as reality in Jurassic franchise.

@@Black_Wolf1357 on the size chart that came with the dvd of JP3, the Rex is listed as a sub-adult. They’ve flip-flopped on this a couple times, but at the end of the day, the Rex in JP3 is objectively smaller than every other Rex we’ve seen with the exception of the infant. The Rex from the first movie is close to 45 feet long and the Bull and Doe from TLW are both about 40 feet long. Our boy from JP3 is 37 feet long, either he’s not full grown or he had his growth stunted for some reason. Also, with that side note, I was intentionally referring to the real world statistics, not the movies… and I meant us when I said “you wouldn’t even feel anything” not the Spino.

@@ir0nleviathan577 no size chart saids sub adult, I have the size chart and also the creator of dpg, jack Anthony Ewins that works with universal pictures and colin trevorrow, he stated it's fully grown from the script and also on jp3 novel, it's slightly shorter than the buck and doe from TLW, nm smaller at all, rexy is 44 feet long and bigger than all the sorna rexes.

To add to what you said at 6:42 , in the scene where the group finds the rex and then the fight itself, the rex seems to change sizes as well. When Grant starts running and the rex comes out from behind its kill, it looks like Grant would almost reach the belly but then when they show it coming around the trees to see the spino, it looks a lot bigger. There is a margin for error because of the camera angle and distance but it's something that always stood out to me.

People act like it’s impossible for a T-Rex to lose a fight loooool . The Spino was fresh and new at the time . They should’ve made the fight longer ,but I was happy we got two predators fighting to begin with .
