JURASSIC PARK Clip - T-Rex Attack (1993) Steven Spielberg

[@dhertsens5617]

What makes this scene so much more intense I only realized after all these years, is the lack of any background music. This was one of the most intense scenes I saw as a kid in theatres back then

[@zmane39mgs]

Music would have taken away from the suspense, no music leaves your senses on high alert to all other noises, therefore allowing the audience to feel like they are right there taking in EVERYTHING that is happening on screen. This guy wanted Rex to be the biggest baddest scariest Dino to ever hit the big screen and he NAILED IT, still gives me shivers to this day when I watch the movie with surround sound when Rex does it’s iconic roar 😱😅

The one thing I like the most about the T. Rex in Jurassic Park is that it behaves like an actual animal. Unlike the villainous Velociraptors which deliberately hunt humans, the Rex simply follows its instincts and attacks whatever is close by.

[@dstacyify]

There are no true "villain" dinosaurs in Jurassic Park with the exception of the Indominus Rex (which was designed to be highly intelligent and was openly malicious). They're animals, plain and simple, and are just wandering around being themselves and given that the T-rex and velociraptors are carnivorous that obviously doesn't bode well for the humans they come across.

When my wife and I went to the premiere of this movie we were not prepared for the sheer terror of this scene. We both sat back, gripping the arms of our chairs, unable to even whisper to each other..

[@lenzino7383]

[@bustedlensprod8307]

June 1993. I was 8 years old. Obsessed with dinosaurs. The anticipation for this film had been through the roof. The previews and news stories had promised: "dinosaurs like you've never seen them before!"... "Spielberg has revolutionized filmmaking again!"... "You won't believe your eyes!" Those are understatements. Until this, dinosaurs had been either stop-motion clay figures, guys in rubber suits, or lizards with horns glued on them. And, remember, we didn't have KZbin at the time to stop and rewatch everything frame-by-frame. When the theater lights dimmed and the jungle chorus came to life I thought I was ready for the blockbuster ride of my life. I wasn't. As a kid, the first hour had felt admittedly boring. "No-shows and one sick triceratops". What I had seen had been vividly beautiful, no doubt. But not quite jaw-dropping for an 8-year-old. I was wondering if this movie was really going to deliver. Spielberg had me exactly where he wanted me. The rain pounded on the car. Thunder rattled my seat. And from the darkness the living memory of another world stepped back into life. My God. The fence fell, the earth shook, and that first roar absolutely stole the breath of every living soul at the Cineplex Factoria 8. I felt like I was sitting in the car next to Lex & Tim. Tyrannosaurus Rex was stalking the theater, hunting for me. And all I could do was try my damnedest to sit still, my heart pounding in my chest with a mix of fear and wonder. Those roars shook the entire world! The movements of something so enormously ferocious were mind-blowing! The instinctual response to being preyed upon is not describable. Such was the experience. I had never had a movie experience like that before, and have not since. I would see "Jurassic Park" 3 more times that summer of '93. But I will never forget the first time I experienced this masterpiece. Truly iconic.

Watched this movie as a kid and got myself into a new world literally. That was the magic of mr.spielberg

[@g.a7866]

Rexy leaving the Paddock in the middle of the rain and then showing his roar is, without a doubt, one of the greatest scenes in the entire cinematographic trajectory.

[@OpenDoorEnglish]

Wow a trailer where they don’t give away absolutely everything. I remember queuing up for this movie back in 1993 - the line went around the cinema. Absolutely magical!

[@k.b.8912]

I had just turned 10 when this was released in theaters and I still remember jumping when the goat leg hit the glass roof, this was one of the most thrilling scenes I had ever seen followed up by equally intense thrilling scenes with the velociraptors. My best friend and I went back and saw this film multiple times on the big screen, it was that entertaining back in ‘93, we just couldn’t get enough of it.

[@Mythosician06]

Even at my young age of watching this scene, which is incredible by the way as is the entire movie, I couldn't help but notice that the place beyond the fence did not mesh with pre-established continuity. I'm talking about how, at first, the ground on the other side is more-or-less level with the ground on the safe side, but when they have to get away from Rexy the ground is suddenly around 100 feet below. Somehow even this kind of continuity error is not enough to stand up to all the good things about this film; it doesn't detract from the experience. As an aside, Spielberg knew how to command tension, and he knew how to shoot a scene. No shaky cam, no nonsensical cuts, and he treated each shot as if it were a painting. He nailed it with Jaws decades earlier and he nailed it just as well with this classic.

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

Those T-Rex VFX shots were made on Windows 92...and still looks 1000x more realistic than those crappy films being made today

[@davidwillke1294]

I could never explain myself how the T-Rex could possibly climb that wall at 6:12 to escape in the first place? I still love this scene though. Most remarkable scene I saw as a kid.

[@Amp661]

That's not the wall the rex came from. Both sides have fences so they are going over a dropoff guarded by a fence similar to the rexes.

[@victoriasanchezdurbin4483]

I thought the same thing because you see the goat level with the bottom of the fence line yet it shows rex climbing out of the enclosure, how is that possible with tiny arms?

[@cmajor886]

Today’s kids will never know how terrifying this movie was when it was first released. I saw this film opening night with my Mom, Brother and Sister it was insane!!!We didn’t expect such a thrill ride. The fact that they were able to get such a visceral reaction with certain scenes you couldn’t even tell that this was made with CGI and Animatronics. It was that REAL! Best Movie experience I’ve had at the theater to this day.

[@AlecDouglas]

It's so cool how they used different animal noises as sound effects for this scene. For example, the roar at 4:58 is an elephant bellowing, but later at 5:22 they switch to a lion's grunting

[@steveharrington2492]

That roar💥💥just masterpiece.

[@craigwebb9318]

ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY!!!

[@GalenNight]

4:14 that little bit of facial acting Sam Neil does is why animatronics have an edge over all cgi. It gives the actors a real thing to work with and get real reactions. You can see him convey real terror. Genuine fear that he’s trying to squash down and steel himself up for his plan to work

[@missagente8100]

Yeah. He acted that scene so beautifully. Also, listen hard enough and you can hear him say “Oh God!” under his breath.

[@62SG]

At 1:29 you can see that despite the danger and the fear and the chaos Alan can't help but smile at seeing T. rex in all her glory.

[@Barnsy40]

I loved that part, cut at just the right moment.

[@Amp661]

I fail to see the smile. All I see is terror and awe of an apex predator who's a few stories tall is walking right in front of thm

[@Lulustucru2393]

Glad you spotted that detail, always loved that moment

[@Lulustucru2393]

​@@Amp661 There's a tiny smile actually he's not wrong

[@Nanu67-e9j]

One of the best films ever made

[@ThePlayaJohn]

One of the most memorable scenes in movie history IMO

[@MusicchannelFX]

The complete irony of this is: Grant understands these Animals with his Studies (Paleonthologist) and Ian with his (Chaos). Never realized it but Ian nearly solved the situation by not moving (no chaos) and Ian is disturbing the situation (with chaos).

[@joetheman8550]

Ian just kept proving himself right😄

[@missagente8100]

The other irony is that although Grant doesn’t like kids, he’s the first adult to respond when the kids are in trouble.

[@ChandlerMillers]

The original T. rex was a masterpiece. Look how huge it is

[@olilaval]

Those who didn't discovered this movie in theatre when it was released can't imagine how big was the shock. Audience was tetanized or terrified but it was so good. Today it's gone ... special effects and visual effects are everywhere and the art to built tension almost disappear from the screen. I'm still impressed by this genius idea to don't use music for this particular scene. It give a feeling of reality.

[@sobrii9492]

Can I just point out how well the framing of each shot helps convince us of just how big the rex is, as well as ground it in reality, even in the fully CGI shots? When Grant and Malcolm are distracting it with flares, the rex has barely enough headspace in the shot, its head is literally scraping the top of the screen, and when it's chasing them, its head is in the foreground with Malcom while the rest of its body stretches into the background. The T. rex feels like it's too big for the screen, and that makes it feel so much more real.

[@بَتول-ر7ط]

Wow, the movie is very beautiful

[@jdncoke2]

one of the most iconic scenes ever

[@Kfantasy_98]

Heroic Dr. Ian Malcolm telling Grant to get the kids and again after Grant says to get rid of the flare. Its like he was saying don't worry about me just get the kids!

[@giovannitedesco2895]

I’m 49 and this scene still sends shivers!!! Masterpiece 🦕🦖

[@Dovahninja]

What I love about the first trilogy of JP movies is that the dinosaurs behave more like animals where as in the newer movies they behave almost like people.

[@randomancrossoverfan]

To be fair, them being less and less as they were in nature is a major theme of the new films.

[@jessesmith5643]

2:30 The T Rex says to himself : Hey wait wait wait, I'm not sure but it looks like ... Yeah, it's my meal!

[@SamuelG2000]

Uh, it's a "Her". Thank you very much.

[@richwatson1985]

This scene alone beats Jurassic world dominions entire movie. I’m telling you!

[@Amp661]

I have said that before Dominion even came out. It's no contest.

[@cypher65]

this is so good because you can feel the reality of t-rex and people's emotions are different with animatronics than with CGI

[@MegaDres]

That creak of the fence tho at 1:01 gets my heart pumping

[@zig533]

6:10 I always wondered how the T-Rex was able to get out when the other side was that deep

[@adrielcontreras7917]

The enclosures are on a slant to one side is a steep drop where the other is ground level

[@mrfloaty7253]

@@adrielcontreras7917 basicly theres like a ravine splitting the fence and rexy's property i guess

[@Punisher6791]

damn near 30 years old and still puts todays CGI laden films to shame.. an absolute Masterclass in how to direct a entertaining film. Jurassic Park was definitely ahead of its time and Spielberg and Stan Winston did the impossible by bringing Dinosaurs back to life on the big screen. their will never be a film Like it Again.

Absolutely amazing! I put the volume up all the time to get the usual goose bumps when the t-rex roars. A special mention to the kids who played their part perfectly.

[@lillbrittz]

I saw this when I was like 4-5 years old I still love watching it as a kid Fun fact rexy’s roar was recorded by an alligator named buddy at GatorLand in Florida

That's Awesome Jurassic Park Amazing movie 😍 hey that famous funny restroom scene where the really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids he's Desperately trying to hide sitting on the toilet LOL hope he's hidden then SUPRISE LOL T-Rex found him 😵🥩🦖 CRUNCH CRUNCH Yummy 😋 LOL it's actually kinda funny and he Deserves it wouldn't you agree?

[@GreatOldOne9866]

4:17 Wowww! Whoa! WHOAAAAAAAA!

[@MusicchannelFX]

I like the acting for these things: The kids know in this age: darkness isnt very scary, they learnd that a thunderstorm is no danger, there are no monsters under the bed. But they are frightened to death. the two men in their age: darkness isnt very scary, they learnd that a thunderstorm is no danger, there are no monsters under the bed. But they are frightened to death.

[@airplanenut89]

In the book, Lex (actually the younger sibling) is still scared of thunderstorms. By the time the Rex breaks out, she's already a bit on edge because of the storm.

[@MichaelD8393]

Fun fact number 1: The _T. Rex_ wasn’t supposed to break the glass roof on the car, so those were genuine screams of terror from the kids. Fun fact number 2: When Sam Neil lit the flair, some chemicals from it dripped onto his hand & burned him pretty bad; he still has the scar to this day. Fun fact number 3: Jeff Goldbloom suggested Ian luring the _T. Rex_ away from the cars on set as he felt a heroic action would be better than going by the plot of the book, where Ian just runs & hides like Gennaro, only without getting eaten.

[@Postinaway]

But his heroic act led the T straight to poor, praying Gennaro. I love how Spielberg implies that Gennaro got right with God before his demise and so presumably went to Heaven. ;)

[@rebeccasjodal9769]

I hope they won an Oscar for this scene and that the kids won one too for their actingskills!

[@CK_Helsing]

Just saw Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is 30 years old and has better effects. Just a timeless classic.

[@martinezegt5433]

[@aaronsingh8513]

This scene scared me more than any other horror movie I ever watched.

[@venomwise]

4:27 onwards made me afraid to go to bed as a kid for the longest time I was 3 years old when I watched this and regardless of it scaring the absolute shit out of me I would watch it all the time I love Jurassic Park I was born on March 29th 1993 I first watched it in 1996 I was amazed and still am to this day.
