The Lost World: Jurassic Park has a T.rex loose in San Diego at the end but an insanely cool theory was that the Raptors are what caused him to escape via a deleted scene where they attack the crew in a gruesome way. This probably never was the case but it would make for a great scene in a new story and Fallen Kingdom even entertained the idea in an early draft of the script with Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm on the what to Site B.

It would be cool if they made a short film of when the T. Rex is lifted onto the boat, when it breaks out later, and how they get it back in. Maybe 15 minutes or something to show what happened.

Who got it back into the cargo hold? There was NO ONE left alive on the ship when it got to San Diego.

[@UGNAvalon]

@carastone3473 Obviously that crewmate ended up as Daddy Rex’s last inflight meal before arrival.

[@RaptorStudios]

@@carastone3473 Apparently what happened was the T. Rex killed the guy at the wheel by busting through the wall behind him, but you can’t see that in the movie. The two last people on the boat got in back in. One used himself as bait to lead the T. Rex back in the cargo hold, while the other, who was already injured, shut the door. You can see his hand still gripping the button in the movie.

[@shainewhite2781]

I've always known about this theory since it was originally in the script but never filmed. There is even art concept of the Rex being loaded onto the ship, while raptors are watching this from afar.

[@StoneAxeArky]

I remember hearing and reading about the Raptor theory online (back when dial-up was still a thing) shortly after The Lost World came out. And, honestly, I think it makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider the required angle for one of the deaths in relation to the large size of the T-rex on board. Of course, the more likely explanation based on how the ship return sequence was shot could be that Spielberg does not show every angle for the kill inside the ship. But, I do think the Raptor theory makes more sense within the logic of that world based on what is shown, and is a lot cooler.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

This all could have been a moot point if Spielberg had just shown some damage to the wheelhouse. There is absolutely zero evidence whatsoever to show that raptors were loose on the ship. None. Except it makes sense in people's heads but the fact is if there is nothing in the movie at all that is relayed to the people watching the movie to tell them that's what happened then it's not what happened. Because there's no point in keeping what actually happened a secret from the audience in a movie. So the answer is a plot hole and it was caused by sloppy filmmaking because they added the T-Rex in San Diego stuff last minute. And could have so easily been fixed

I know it was just an easter egg in Dominion, but it would've been so cool if the guy who looked just like Nedry was actually his son all grown up. It would've given Nedry further reason for becoming an agent for Biosyn. Hammond getting cheap on him despite Nedry having a family to support would cause him to secretly work for Biosyn, since as Dodgson states, Nedry was due to be paid $1.5 million for the embryos.

[@ghostmadlittlemiss]

Ooh, think I missed that Easter egg. Which guy was that? When abouts in the film was he? Funnily enough, one of the Lego Jurassic World cartoons contained Nedry's nephew. I think his name was Danny. Very clearly for kids but reasonably entertaining, if you switch your brain off and don't expect canon.

[@wallineric]

I always found that confusing. 100% of the crew is dead and there's a severed hand in a small space. If you just went below deck you'd be safe from a giant dinosaur. If more than just the Rex was captured (like Fallen Kingdom), chaos occurred on the voyage and then during the dock crash the Rex, Raptors and who knows what else was unleashed on San Diego that would have been insane.

[@redwa11er]

That's always been an argument of mine. You can hide from a rex in a small space (like below Decks. It's not gonna fit. Ever.) Where the raptors are much more terrifying because they can follow you into those smaller spaces.

[@MarqFJA87]

Yeah, this is my only major criticism of the T. rex being intended to have been the sole cause of the whole crew being killed. A lot of them would have been deep in the ship attending to various tasks, like running/overseeing the engine room. That being said, according to the storyboards for this ultimately unfilmed sequence, the captain's cabin in which the severed hand is found would've had a whole side of it destroyed by the T. rex smashing its head into it... and conveniently, it's the side that we're *never* shown in the movie, whether from the outside or the inside. Personally, I would've had a raptor or two hitch a ride to kill off the remaining crew inside, only to eventually die themselves, whether by a mortally wounded crew member managing to blast one in the face with superheated steam from one of the pipes lining the walls or some other environmental hazard on the ship, or a crew member armed with a shotgun or even a knife achieving a mutual kill.

[@steel749]

People can do the mental gymnastics to justify that it was the T rex doing the killing but it never made any sense. I like TLW but people need to just let go of that T rex crap haha

[@chris.shamblin]

An Alien or The Last Voyage of The Demeter type of horror film about what exactly happened to the crew of the Venture could be just the shot of pure terror that the franchise needs. I think it could be a cool stand-alone film on its own, especially if you did incorporate raptors into the story.

[@thatonea-hole]

Voyage of the Venture - Lost World: Jurassic Park would probably be the title if it comes about

[@The-Black-Death]

About the concept art of the Raptor scene, you really have to look at the environment with it looking like it's flooding from the pipes in the hallway, along with those valves that are often seen in ships, it makes me really think that was supposed to be one of the lower decks of the ship that were flooding. That is unless you want to say that's supposed to be the basement or whatever for the worker village centre, but the water would've already flooded that whole room even before anyone got there since that place was abandoned for a long time.

[@o-mangaming5042]

Now that you've said it, yeah, there's enough bread crumbs to tell us that the Rex was responsible for the crew getting killed, however . . . It really should've been raptors. The baby rex wasn't anywhere near the captain's cabin, and something big like a T-Rex isn't going to waste calories hunting small prey like us. Especially if it's risking injury breaking into a structure like the captain's deck. It woke up dehydrated, surrounded by water. I'm not sure it wouldn't have run to the edge and ducked down to let the water cool it off (I'm assuming it could smell the salt in the water and know not to drink it.) A raptor pack in the tight confines of a ship would make short work of the crew, and actually get enough calories from the hunt to be worth doing.

[@maidenreligion12]

Remember that it was searching for its baby. The movie shows us that Rexes have strong paternal instincts. Anyone not its baby was a target. That's always how I viewed it, anyways. It was more pissed off than actually hunting humans. Though, that being said it does still follow the 'monster/shark' trope of hunting humans, regardless of how much sense that would actually make.

[@ZombieBarioth]

@@maidenreligion12 Exactly, most of the carnage done by the buck and doe was alluded to be due to them searching for junior. Then there's the scene where they're trying to mend it's leg in the RV and he cries, alerting the parents who then proceed to attack the vehicle, pushing it over the edge of a cliff. That alone shows they may have an intellect similar to crows. Now imagine that, but on a cargo ship, with a baby t-rex potentially on the loose as well crying for help.

[@o-mangaming5042]

@@maidenreligion12 Yeah, it's very much a monster thing rather than an animal thing. Even wild animals don't break walls to hunt for their babies, because walls f*cking hurt even when you're bigger than an elephant. Wild animals don't have health insurance or money. No trip to the hospital for them.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

Those bread crumbs are far more than people have to support that it was raptors. It's irrelevant what it should have been. The fact is it was always the T-Rex. There is absolutely nothing else that shows it could be raptors except for the fact that the T-Rex couldn't fit in the wheelhouse. There's literally nothing. And if it's a secret from the audience then it's nothing more than a pipe dream. Because there's no point in making the answer unknowable by the audience. The fact is it all could have been fixed simply by showing damage to the wheelhouse.. but the real true answer people just are uncomfortable with but people's discomfort doesn't make their other hypotheses true. The fact is this team and the San Diego stuff was added and the very last minute and it was sloppy and it's a plot hole. There were no raptors. It was always the T-Rex it was just done sloppy

[@The-Black-Death]

@@thickerconstrictor9037 There's concept art of the raptors watching the t-rex being loaded onto the ship and in the flooded lower decks of the ship, not to mention the homage to the first book with the raptors getting onto a cargo ship and the arm scene from the first book. There's also context of Pteranodons preying upon fishing boats that got too close to the island earlier into the movie as well. But I guess we just aren't going to talk about that at all.

[@Venator94]

Ah, yes, the Ninjaraptor: nobody saw them, nobody heard them, nobody mentioned them in the movie, but people can swear it was them who killed the S.S. Venture crew. My heroes. ❤

[@pirateraider1708]

My old take on it: Raptors got on the boat, attacked the crew, then the T-Rex broke free and attacked the raptors and the remaining crew, save for one guy who was already down from a raptor attack. The last raptor fled into cargo hold, followed by the Rex, and the guy used his dying moments to trap them in there.

[@SpaceSponge]

I still to this day believe it was raptors I just can't see a huge giant T-Rex being able to do that much damage in tight spaces

[@chilldagod1441]

I agree, def a huge plothole they didn't care to make well-defined. Anyone who's read the books would immediately connect the dots with the velociraptor tails seen on the boat as it sailed away. And the rex big ass head never would fit in that small space without destroying it where the arm was hanging

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

No matter how much you believe it you're still wrong. There's no point in having the answer be raptors when absolutely nothing in the movie relays information about it being raptors to the audience. It can't be raptors if we don't know it's raptors based on something we see in the movie or even concept. The fact is it was the T-Rex and it's a plothole. And no matter how much somebody wants it to be something else, it's not. The T-Rex couldn't have been its head in there which is why it was a mistake that was due to all that material being rushed because it was a last-minute addition by Spielberg it could have easily been fixed simply by showing damage to the wheelhouse but there was never supposed to be raptors on board nothing in the movie at all therefore there were not it's just a mistake.

[@chilldagod1441]

*tiger scratches at air making aggressive tiger snarl sound*

[@The-Black-Death]

@@thickerconstrictor9037 Yeah but that's one thing too, with the way the ship is built, there's no way possible for the T-rex to angle itself to drive it's whole head into the whole wheelhouse like you said. But at the same time I can see how it could've been Raptors or even Pteranodons when you put them into context, especially the concept art which clearly shows a Raptor in a flooded deck of the ship that definitely doesn't look like the flooded basement of the worker village Centre, not to mention the other concept art out there showing the raptors watching the t-rex being loaded onto the ship from afar. With the hand being possible for the T-rex if it could get a grip and just bit or tore him out of the wheelhouse, if not paying homage to the arm scene in the first movie with the Raptors idea, along with the part of the Raptors escaping off the island by getting onto the cargo ships in the first book. Along with context we have of fishermen being known to go missing from being too close to the isle, which can really only mean Pteranodons unless they docked onto the shore, and we do see Pteranodons at the end of the movie. Overall the scene is meant to be mysterious BECAUSE it was rushed seemingly so there's a few ways you can look at it when you consider the context here, so really the only way to view it is with context and put it into perspective to interpret these things if we aren't given a clear answer because we seemingly won't get a concrete one, because the T-rex one even then simply isn't good enough to write off as the answer once you have that context. Writing it off as a plothole will get you nowhere when you haven't even looked at or considered the context at play.

I personally hope that they’ll slightly retcon the deaths on S.S Venture back at 1997 as having been caused by the raptors? Why? It could open up a nice sequel in the current World timeline where the OG raptors can at last see some action again in the form of a plot where a long established breeding population of Sorna raptors is discovered deep within South America years after the classic trilogy incidents. Turns out that these not only are the culprits responsible for the Buck getting loose on the boat but have also evaded discovery on the mainland for so long due to a very special ability. Again borrowing from the Crichton novels(like the film-makers should have long ago), due to a high amount of chromatophores in their skin these raptors were actually capable of blending into their surroundings long before the Indominus Rex was even a glint in Henry Wu’s eyes, a genetic accident leading to the deadliest species of stealth hunter in the world now responsible for modern day myths of hupia making people disappear in Costa Rica. Cue present day dinosaur experts being called in to investigate, finding out that InGen’s lysine contingency plan did did absolutely squat and figure out a way to safely coexist with the living remnants of John Hammond’s original park project now occupying new territory while trying to survive attacks from this blast from the past.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Another fan theory I once saw: The crew was attacked by some sort of sea creature (this came before the Mosasaurus in Jurassic World).

[@eddiehoplight2003]

I'd imagine that's how the tiger stripe raptors and jp3 raptors got off Isla sorna, some rich dude wanting velociraptor attack dogs for his mansion, goes in with some mercenaries tranquilizes the raptors, they wake up on the ship, eat everybody and then the boat crashes in a similar manor to the ss venture

[@Emperor_Oshron]

speaking of the question of what killed the crew on the _Venture,_ i remember way back when on Jurassic Park Legacy some alternate theories were floated that it might've retroactively been the spinosaurus. and, jokingly, that the one or two survivors who weren't killed by the spino then got terrorized by ghost pirates XDDDDD a bit more seriously, my own preferred take on what was responsible for an alternate continuity of the films is that it could've been troodons in the vein of _Jurassic Park: The Game,_ inspired by some being inserted into the side-area of the scene in the _Lego Jurassic World_ game, which i'm convinced is a reference to the theory that raptors were responsible

[@JakeFromYoutube]

8:11 how about a "Jurassic Cruise" movie? Takes place in the 90s, a cruise ship heads down to Costa Rica, passes Nublar and raptors get on the ship, the same way some had been escaping. From there on it's pure chaos and everyone trying to survive best the can. And for an added bonus, maybe after the raptors had been defeated, I'd have a Plesiosaurus attack the boat towards the end of the movie, maybe 2, causing the ship to crash or sink, leaving very few survivors, and whoever is left to swim to the nearest island or island the ship crashed into/neat which would turn out to be Isla Sorna.

[@Centauratron]

The severed hand in the wheelhouse still damns the idea of the Rex killing everyone because they didn't show a giant hole for the Rex to have shoved his head inside, and no degree of saying "continuity issue/mistake" will make people overlook it. Without that giant Rex head-sized hole, our options either become raptors loose on the ship or this Rex can alter its size like Ant-Man and casually walk into the wheelhouse through the door. Whether or not the hole was present in old storyboards doesn't matter since it didn't make it into the actual film and in that context...raptors are pretty much the only thing that make sense.

[@Sapwolf]

I imagine most of the crew would have jumped off the boat once they realized what danger was up.

[@mr.vidjagamez9896]

man, all they needed to add to the end of Lost World was when whats-his-face went down for the infant rex, we stumbles upon a bunch of severed body parts, indicating that after the outbreak on the boat, the surviving crewman tried to hide in the cargo hold, only for the rex to follow them down into it as they were re-closing the hatch.

[@andrewsmallacombe9468]

I can see a "dinosaur hunter" movie based on the concept of raptors (and other dinosaurs) escaping to the mainland. Maybe with either Nick or Billy back in a major role.

[@echo1eyesonly13]

How the Jurassic World franchise would most likely handle a Raptors on the ship scene - As the S.S. Venture sails towards the mainland, one of the ships crew hears a sound that causes the hairs on the back of his neck to stand up. He turns around to see a Velociraptor is staring at him. His eyes quickly scan the ship where they spot a second Raptor approaching his location. The Raptors have boarded the ship and now their hunting us he thinks to himself. As the two Raptors approach the worker he slowly raises his hand towards them, signalling them to stop. The Raptors look at the man with his hand raised at them, and roll their eyes, thinking to themselves, why does everyone keep doing that to us lately? Do they actually think that would work? After the ship crashed into the San Diego dock and the Rex had escaped, Ingen workers from the Press conference board what's left of the Venture and are horrified by what they find. The bodies of the crew, each with a hand missing, are everywhere on the ship. The Rex couldn't have done all this on its own, one Ingen security worker thinks to himself. Just then, he hears the rev of an engine, and quickly turns around to see several Velociraptors on motorcycles jumping off the ships deck As the final Raptor makes her jump, she shouts back at the security worker, "So long suckers."

[@Beforezzz]

That's hilarious how the video cuts to Dr. Wu when you bring up someone coming forth trying to correct the theory. 😆

[@guillaumebabey4484]

Honestly, back in the day nobody in my circle EVER mentionned that raptor hypothesis. Must of us suspected either Pterosaurs (since the movie concludes on a Geosternbergia/Pteranodon) or even marine reptiles because they were already present in lore and merchandising even if we never saw them. That piece of concept art was nowhere to be found in my place and the internet was still only burgeoning back in 1997. As for the T.rex breaking out that was the official answer and critics back in the day overtly critised that ellipse in the final product as a plothole.

[@varanid9]

That the Tyrannosaurus Rex could kill everyone on the boat is ridiculous. EVERYBODY was in the hold?? How did he kill the guy in the wheel-house? And if he was on deck, how did he get back in the hold? Highly unlikely scenario on top of another highly unlikely scenario on top of yet another highly unlikely scenario would have to be the case for this to happen.

[@celtic1842]

You could probably make a badass scary movie about dinosaurs on a boat and doesn't even have to be related to Jurassic Park.

[@Firstgenamerican21]

It’s like “The Demeter” but raptors instead of Dracula. That would be so cool.

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Honestly, considering the fact that there's still a SEVERED HAND, literally CLINGING to the cargo-ship's wheel, and no other sign of the remaining crew members... A T-rex makes sense. Amputated hands will still cling or clutch something when connection to the brain is lost, especially from a gruesome death.

[@DeathHawk31]

what if there was a survivor on that ship and a movie starts with a flash back to the Trex breaking out, attacking everyone, partly off screen as our protagonist hides and eventually he takes an escape boat before the Trex is captured in the cargo hold, but it could show the Trex rip a hole in the wall pulling out the captain at some point. The reason I think this theory holds up is when rewatching the movie, the wall directly behind the captain is never shown, not from the inside and not from the outside. No idea what the rest of the movie would be about, maybe the guy has PTSD and is forced to encounter dinos again years later

[@JohnBustt]

I always figured the baby Rex killed the captain. The captain probably investigated the main incident of the T-Rex becoming loose on the boat, somehow gets injured, and ends up being eaten by the baby Rex while he is at the wheel. Made sense to me when I was a kid at least lol.

[@IAmAGyroGamer]

Having a scene of Raptors loose on a ship would be really great to see on screen. Very much in the vein of Michael Crichton's novel, and I want to see it expanded upon. As for the theory, I wasn't on board with it despite the concept art and the novel subplot being the only evidence for The Lost World film. One of Klayton's old videos show another concept art showing a hole on the room where the severed hand was, and the camera wasn't shown on screen. So, I think it was like a continuity goof up. 7:39, could you elaborate more about that opinion? How would suspense be better in live-action than animation? I feel like you could pull off a very suspenseful scene with the right art style to visually show the drastic situation the boat survivors they're in.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

I've always found the question of what killed the guys on the parasailing boat in JP3 far more mysterious.

[@wolfmantheimpaler]

One issue about the raptor theory is, if that was the case, you'd think it'd be referenced in other movies like JP3, or at least in the side material for the Jurassic World trilogy since they discussed the pteronadons from the third movie and even established that the Spinosarus was one of the first hybrids, so there'd be something that would've referenced raptors on the Venture if that was the case and not the T-Rex doing the killing

[@mattmetawolf8634]

That’s your little issue that sounds like a nothing burger of an issue with the theory if I’m being honest because if you take that dream sequence that Alan dreamt where are almost everybody was gone and raptor Billy was literally calling his name waking him up I would consider that to be a nice reference and given that Alan Grant has always referred to these raptors a smart smart enough to where they know how to open doors why wouldn’t they know how to infiltrate a boat and hop off once everybody is dead plus it make it easier in that regard if let’s say the tea Rex got irritable and was able to break its restraints.

[@lunarpurge8494]

Just a ship crew not administrating the sedative properly and not realizing that the T-Rex is fully awake while they were distracted by Malcolm and friends' protests during docking. It'll be a bit of a homage to the Raptor cage scene at the start of Jurassic Park and in line with Malcolm and friends' unintended manslaughter of other people with good intentions throughout Lost World.

[@SquirrelGamez]

I always thought it was the T-rex kid. There's literally nothing else it could be.

[@HK_roller_delayed]

Facts.. about fiction..

[@bigalgames7963]

If only Lost World could get its own "Snyder Cut" per say

[@chichiboypumpi]

The T-Rex Bull looked really big on the barge scene.

[@mrnorthernspitfire3067]

The concept art looks quite similar to the card that you got with the Raptor toy that was tied into the first movie, it was the one that opened its jaws if you pushed its leg in.

[@marcusraines4803]

I thought it was the baby t-rex back in the day. But I remember my dad and uncles questioning this plot point. Good times.

[@LinkSergilBelmont]

6:53 “Resident Evil: Revelations Jurassic Park style.” I know there's already the Dino Crisis video game series by Capcom. But imagine if Capcom or Naughty Dog and Universal work together to produce a survival horror Jurassic Park video game. The plot is heavily inspired by the books with some elements from the first two films. Gameplay or controls can be similar to modern Resident Evil games or The Last of US games.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

The one and only issue that I have with this scene that makes it sloppy is the lack of the hole in the wheelhouse. That's literally it. It's not at all hard to see how the T-Rex could have done everything else. The T-Rex is essentially overdosing on the animal version of fentanyl. So they give it what is essentially narcan to stop the overdose. This turns the animal into a raging locomotive like they like to say. It breaks free of it supports and starts attacking the crew on board. If they had just put a hole in the wheelhouse to show how the captain got attacked, everything else falls into place. The T-Rex attacks the crew and mortally wound one guy but doesn't kill him right away. The T-Rex chases the one or two living people down into the cargo hold and the crew member that is mortally wounded crawls over to the button and closes the T-Rex in the cargo hold before dying. Now everyone is dead and the T-Rex is stuck below. Nothing remotely remarkable about that. And the hole in the wheelhouse shows how the T-Rex was able to leave the severed hand on the wheel. That would have literally fixed the whole scenario. At the end of the day the entire San Diego stuff feels really out of place in an otherwise wonderful sequel. I think this sequel was just about as perfect as it could have been until the San Diego stuff happened. It was rushed and probably needed about 15 more minutes. Now don't get me wrong I still love the San Diego stuff because I love T-Rex and I think that overall it's still the best sequel hands down but they definitely were sloppy with that last 15 minutes or so. And it could have all been at least passable if they just put a hole and some damage to the wheelhouse. But I don't think there's any good evidence whatsoever that raptors got loose. People always try to come up with a hypothesis to explain stuff but nothing gets revealed to the audience about that hypothesis happening so it makes absolutely no sense. There's no point in having there be an answer to something that in no way is relayed to the audience whatsoever. If it was supposed to be raptors they wouldn't make it a secret from the audience. Because what people are doing now is just looking at it as if it's real life and saying if this is real life this is how it happened, but it's not real life. it's a movie. there's no reason to hide the answer from the audience. the answer is that it is the T-Rex. it always was the T-Rex. it always will be the T-Rex, and it doesn't matter if raptors make sense to you or not. that's not the answer. It was never raptors nor was it ever supposed to be. it will never be raptors whether the wheelhouse plot hole makes sense or not. The fact is it's a plothole. And as much as it may suck to hear, sometimes plot holes exist and there is no logical answer and that's the case here. but the answer is not raptors just because you are uncomfortable with the fact that there's a plot hole

[@ed_carnby3431]

Awesome video man. Hopefully someone out there could do a stop motion scene of the buck doing all the damage or animation.

[@GTalon5]

To add more fuel to the fire. The game 'Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition'. If you play as the raptor, the last level is getting onto a cargo ship.

[@DissectThatFilm]

The only way I don't feel it was the raptors is the fact they're not on the boat when it crashed. Where did they go? Are they on the mainland? So many questions.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Jurassic Park was a horror movie. With cute lunchboxes for kids. And we absolutely loved it

[@SeparatistAlliance66]

Theory: what if they were pterosaurs that had been flying away from the island and attacked the boat while in the middle of the ocean.

[@delainahewitt1547]

I believe that the Raptors killed everyone on the S.S Venture...and a Plesiosaur! Though, yes, we never got to see the Plesiosaur on screen, but could this marine reptile have played a part in killing everyone on the boat? Great video, Klayton! Keep up the great work!

[@nathanielwindsor9146]

Can you explain your plesiosaur theory a little more? Nothing I’d considered before but I’m intrigued on your vision.

[@andrewdurrant3782]

As a kid I always thought it was pterodactyls flying in. After the end of the first movie seeing them I thought they would be attacking boats after

[@sarahpark5918]

In my opinion I think that the t.Rex caused most of the mayhem but two sub adult raptors worked together to kill off a small amount of the crew. I know this may not be true but that’s how I imagine it.

[@andreiagaldoni1509]

Hi Klayton!

[@Aaron-hu4wl]

Couldn’t the juvenile T. rex be the one responsible for the severed hand? Would explain the small space being undisturbed.

[@noahlongoria6006]

Funny thing when I first saw the movie I remembered it differently during the trex San Diego scene , rampaging through the city it was a trex , pteranodon and some long neck dino like brachiosaurus causing mayhem. I don’t know I’m getting mixed up with some other movie or show but some reason that’s what I remembered

[@t-rexcellentreviews1663]

Raptors on a Boat, the next spinoff to Snakes on a Plane.

[@coletonwaller5427]

I do think it’s partially some false memory/Mandela effect because people will remember the scene from The Day After Tomorrow with the wolves on the ship and get that mixed up and assume it was raptors or claim to remember it was raptors.

[@LBTElectricDinoOnline]

Pretty awesome video about the gruesome death scenes in the Jurassic Franchise especially The Lost World Jurassic Park and I do agree that The Lost World is very underrated and I pretty much agree with your points on the gruesome death theories in the Jurassic Franchise. Great work on this and as always, Take It Easy and Life Finds A Way.

[@SunshineStorm]

I didn't read the books until I was an adult so I was a kid when the first 3 movies came out. So, I've never thought that raptors would be on the boat. But even as a child, I've never bought that every single person died to the t-rex on the ship. As a kid in girl scouts, I toured a ship and saw just how many tight spaces a large dino couldn't get to no matter what. So, while the cargo ship would have been very different, I still cannot possibly believe that there wasn't a single person who stayed below deck on a non-cargo area part of the ship and maybe hid in a closet and wasn't found until the ship was recovered after the rex was dropped back off on the island. It just isn't something to bother including in the movie.

[@fedevto]

Klayton! Greetings from Argentina. I swear I think I've seen all the videos you've uploaded. This is my favorite KZbin channel, because, well, I love Jurassic Park just like you. I want to comment on something that got me thinking in the video. Hopefully, they'll give us fans some love with a movie based on some part of the books, or for example, raptors escaping to one of the islands that aren't Nublar or Sorna, because we have Isla Matanceros, Isla Muerta, Isla Pena.We all think of thousands of ideas to make a good, bloody movie just like we fans want. They could also do something about the creation of forbidden species on Isla Sorna before the Hurricane Clarissa ruined the labs etc. I swear I want a good movie in a few years , not a 15-minute short. I'm tired, I want some real JP content. I'm saying this after Dominion, which, for me, was an insult to Jurassic Park fans. Well, looking forward to your next video, Klayton. You're awesome!

[@IglooGaming1775]

I mean they could always retcon raptors into the story in a future movie. But we may be past that point now.

[@SlothfulTurtle]

Wasn't the cabin where they found the hand smashed in? I seem to remember seeing something that showed us what we weren't shown in the actual movie: another camera angle of that room that showed where the rex broke the roof of the cabin.

[@shainewhite2781]

6:10, i still believe that it was Raptors that killed the crew on the ship.

[@bochalet]

Raptor escaping the island on a boat is the ending of the sega genesis game when you play the raptor.

[@Dean20105]

Hello love your content

[@TheBombayMasterTony]

That theory is really cool and would make for a great scene in a film.

[@Thunder_Bird0]

The severed hand can easily be explained…. The T rex took notes from Michael Myers.

[@alang.bandala8863]

When I read the scripts available in Jurassic Time, I understand that the hand in the control room was actually a miss conception by Spielberg, cause the script said that there were pieces of every mariner all over the surface of the boat, indicating that Buck gets free and they manage to close the gate before Buck could make more troubles. Besides, the ending of TLW PS1 have Raptors in a boat

[@dinodan7770]

I think they should turn what happened on the SS Venture into a short film like Battle at Big Rock

[@andrewcoulthard-clark]

Klayton, in 2018 you covered the cancellation of Jurassic World: Survivor, and ended with a question mark about if it might be released along side the release of Fallen Kingdom. Is that something you could revisit please, now that you know more?

[@alexsanchez5629]

If it was Raptors, what happened to them after the SS Venture hit the San Diego docks, were they killed in battle with the crew or jumped off to the ocean or the T-rex consumed the Raptors?? So many damn theories 😅

[@mrjacktraphere3665]

Will the legend reply?👀

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Yes

[@zbn1]

One question: Where did the T-Rex stand? On what part of the ship to kill captain mostly?
