Okay guys! In this video I compare the differences between Robert Muldoon and Roland Tembo from The Lost World and Jurassic Park! I basically go into detail on everything about Pete Postlethwaite's character in Jurassic Park 2 and talk about how he compares to Bob Peck's Robert Muldoon. The Jurassic Park Hunters are honestly some of the coolest dudes in the first two movies. Quotes like Shoot Her, and Clever Girl would never exist without them! InGen should be proud! :D

[@KBABZ]

One factor that I'm actually REALLY surprised you didn't bring up when discussing the Novel version of Muldoon is the fact that he was working with Novel Hammond, who refused to give him proper funding and equipment for his job. That isn't the case for Movie Muldoon as shown by the opening of the first movie, but for both Muldoons they were working with a severe staff shortage and also had to handle all of the predators running around. Further, both Muldoons are only familiar with Raptor behaviour in the incredibly confined space of their pen, not out in the jungles of the wild. Movie Muldoon also had no access to Dr. Grant after the power went out, so he had no opportunity to ask him if there was anything he knew about Raptors that would be useful before setting out for the generator, and Dr. Sattler wouldn't be helpful for that because she's a paleobotanist. Lastly, I would actually argue that the situation in Jurassic Park regarding the carnivores is different and arguably MORE dangerous than Site B. With Site B all of the carnivores had established territories that Roland was prepared for thanks to documentation from InGen when Site B was operational. With Jurassic Park however, the predators had only just escaped and were roaming around pretty much the entire island because they don't have any territory established yet. To compare, on Site B nobody comes into contact with Raptors until they wander directly into their territory, while in Jurassic Park, the Raptors could be pretty much anywhere after they escape the pen. In classic JP fashion, it was chaos, and thus extremely hard to predict. But to counter-point all of what I said above, Tembo had an overall much better handle on things despite having a very similar background to Muldoon. Muldoon in the movie always came off as more of a zoo park warden to me, but everything about Tembo just oozed his experience in hunting big game, experience he put to effective use in the film. As you said at the end of the video, it was he who walked out of the movie alive while Muldoon bit the dust. It would be interesting to see how things would have played out if Tembo were hired for the Jurassic Park job and Novel Muldoon was hired for the Site B capture job.

[@RikelWirkkunen]

I want to note that Ellie was present when Grant gave the foreshadowing speech that the raptor would attack from the side, she’d have been better so tell him “no, we run to bunker”

[@jrus690]

In the novel, there is a serious lack of weapons in Jurassic Park, as they decided not to have tranquilizer guns, it was just a writer decision to make a point about the speed of the animals being higher than what the handlers expected. In the movie, they have a whole pile of guns and the speed of the animals is not brought up the same way, possibly partly because the visual effects of the time could not show it anyways.

[@neldormiveglia1312]

You're so right. In site B the animals had developed their natural behavioral traits and instincts. In site A, they were just confined animals, bred and raised in captivity, with no family bonds at all. They were basically ticking time bombs.

[@davidlewis5312]

@James Stockdale the lysine contingency didn't work. Because no large animals produce Lysine.

[@starlord157]

Roland would’ve survived if he were put into Muldoon’s place because Roland actually had a wealth of experience with predator behavior and I get the feeling he would have done independent research into what ever animals he would be in charge of so he would’ve had knowledge of behaviors.

[@anubratabhattacharya5367]

Similarities: Both of them are played by impeccable British stage actors. Both Muldoon and Tembo are incredible iconic characters! Tembo is undoubtedly my most favourite character in the Lost World. And I wish Muldoon was given more screen time in JP1. His premature death was totally uncalled for. Goes on to show that no one was safe in Jurassic park..not even someone as able, cautious and intelligent as Muldoon.

I always just figured she was way too emotionally attached to that jacket, even with baby dino blood on it. I mean, sure, she should've known better (after all, it was her who insisted that the rexes would pursue them), but if people in movies acted logically, movies would be suuuuuuper boring.

Which is also the weapon of choice for Dieter Stark. Muldoon also has what looks to be a 1911 style pistol in a military flap holster.

[@keegantripp1245]

I noticed that after watching the film, so while movie canon has him dead, it could be argued that based on the comics made that are supposedly canon to the movies, he uses said 45 to injure or kill the raptor that is on him. At best scare it away long enough for him to limp to a safe zone and rest before getting help.

"This is why we need a locking mechanism in the vehicle door !" - Robert Muldoon

[@andrewnapierski7620]

Muldoon had the unfortunate task of taking on the raptors and roland didn't. Sneaking up on and tranquilizing Rex when it was distracted is cool but isn't really that impressive or difficult considering the size of the target and he general had 30 other bite sized companions around to get eaten in dangerous times instead of himself. I think muldoon was less outsmarted and more outnumbered. And while sorna was "their turf" the hunters had charts to show the different animals territory so they were generally well aware of what was around. Muldoon and tembo r both awesome, I just think muldoon got shortchanged by facing the much more intelligent and dangerous adversary

[@bluesira]

[@AzraelThanatos]

With the description, you kind of got it wrong slightly, Muldoon isn't a big game hunter...he's a game warden from Kenya. He's there for animal control and management. The skillset is also one that's heavily in the anti-poaching side of things.

Its worth noting that Muldoon didnt have any kind of backup as well. You have a programmer (Nedry), a system administrator (Arnold), the aged founder (Hammond), two kids (Lex and Tim), three scientists (Grant, Sadler, Malcom) and one "blood sucking lawyer" (Gennaro). Muldoon was one of the only people on the island that probably ever even held a gun before. (Grant does seem to know what he was doing). Tembo had not only a trusted friend with him but also a squad of heavily armed mercs.

[@aaronmoots1569]

In defense of Muldoon, it isn’t entirely fair to say he had the easier situation, yes he had the protection of buildings and such, but all of the Jurassic Park staff were gone. He was so short handed he took a visiting scientist with him to search the aftermath of theT-Rex attack, Roland had a very large camp of hunters as well as much more firepower.

[@tannerbarnes7392]

I really wish Muldoon had been given a sequence to do some cool stuff. Bob Peck's acting really sold the character for me, and seeing him act like a badass and then drop like a fly was disappointing. Like, how much cooler would it have been if the raptor ambush was ambiguous, and then he came back later? Maybe Grant, Sattler and the kids have just called Hammond, and the raptor breaks through the glass. This time, Grant doesn't have a gun, but shots ring out anyway. Muldoon stands in the doorway, the barrel of his SPAS 12 smoking, the raptors momentarily dispersed. "Come on," he says, "We have to move." He leads them safely to the main lobby, and he, Lex, and Sattler run outside, but Tim trips, and Grant goes back for them, only for them both to get cornered by two raptors. Then we can keep the excellent T-rex rescue scene, and Muldoon gets a chance to be all heroic by watching everyone's backs as they leave the control room.

[@erikvonerik]

Tanner Barnes thats what was scripted - exactly what you said . Muldoon was supposed to make a surprise return in the second film when Peck died. Then Tembo, and then the actor that played him died too !

[@Godzilla00X]

I think Roland ran to the t-rex not since he saw it as his chance at the rex but to protect his party

[@raccoonavi]

Both of those goals had a common solution which was neutralising the rex. He's definitely the kind of guy to want to protect his group but hunting is the whole reason they're there.

[@CaptainKotetsu]

raccoon soup True, but Roland was leading the party on the island. Protecting the group is always the leader’s responsibility, and that was probably on Roland’s mind in that moment.

[@kveldulfskallagrisom4374]

Don't mind if take his chance about the situation, but following the logic of a real hunting scenario, Roland Tembo rans off against the T-Rex to protect the party more than the hunt of the trophy itself. If really was his plan to hunt don't matter any consequences the T-Rex, Roland would spend the time to search in the hunty party stuff a weapon lil deadly enough to hunt and kill the T-Rex like the HK91/G3 in .308 that Dieter and other hunters bring and make multiple lucky shots or 1 very precise shot against the T-Rex as the hunter Karajomo Bell did with the "underpowered" 7x57 mauser to hunt elephants, but instead prefer to think about the hunting party and the most effective weapon to stop (don't kill) the Rex and use the tranquilizer dart rifle to stop it.

I wonder if they ever had run-ins with each other at any point while they were both in Africa.

It may have resulted in at least an unfriendly "get the fuck off my lawn" from Muldoon.

[@caedmonnoeske3931]

They're both from British East Africa (Kenya).

[@neldormiveglia1312]

Muldoon in the book was a badass. In the movie he's still a badass, but I feel like in the situation they are in during the film, he chooses to sacrifice himself so that Ellie can get to the shed and restore electricity. We know he was well aware of the velociraptors' hunting strategy. He knew they don't attack at once, they attack as a pack and when you think you have one facing you upfront, you really have other two on either sides. He knew, he just chose to take it for the greater good. I always liked the way everything went down in the book more than the film, but I understand that all of the shenanigans didn't fit in the first film so they changed things up to make it make sense. The river plot we got to see in JP3, the waterfall scene we got in JP2, the way Henry insisted to Hammond on creating ''hybrids'' or improved versions of dinosaurs we got in JW1 and JW2... Even the scene where the T-Rex sets loose and starts killing other dinosaurs we got in JW1 but instead of the T-Rex it's the I-Rex.

Yeah, I really don't think he kept quiet about the jacket to use as bait, it's not the way of a "gentleman hunter" that both he and Muldoon had the air of (while not buying into the hype amd legend of it themselves; the only way to really make that kind of character work nowadays). I prefer to think that it was just a lapse in judgment do to having so much on his plate. Related question: Why did Harding have all that candy out?!

Other than that, I suspect it was typical film-making shortcut of showing empty wrappers everywhere to show they've eaten & time has passed. And maybe even as a way to show the group's desperation - that they quickly snacked on whatever unhealthy thing they had on hand and then tried to get a few hours of sleep.

[@stevevicari5523]

With the films seeming to give half of Roberts accomplishments in the novel to Roland (admittedly some of his most impressive accomplishments) I would say that my vote goes to Roland. The fact that Robert "knew more about the raptors than anyone" and was still outsmarted by a strategy that Alan Grant could formulate just by studying their bones is a much bigger blunder than Roland being sabotaged by Nick. Especially considering Roland was quickly able to realize the sabotage, and improvise to tranq the buck rex during the chaos of the rexes attack on the camp.

It's a shame he died in 2014, but he will not be forgotten. Robert Muldoon died as a hero trying to stop the raptors from escaping. Bob Peck left us in 2004, but he'll be remembered too, for portraying such an amazing character.

[@alphadron4073]

I like them both equally. While Tembo is an utter badass, he remains calm and level-headed while everyone else panics (such as during the rex attack on the camp), he is also capable of coming up with elaborate plans to hunt his prey to a greater extent than Muldoon in the movie - also shows a greater deal of leadership than the game warden, albeit because of the situations they were put in being drastically different. Muldoon, on the other hand, has a nigh intimate knowledge of the beasts he is in charge of, and while he failed to kill the velociraptor in the movie, he did show more care for accomplishing the goal and preserving the life of humans over his desire for glory - Tembo's baby Rex bait was fairly close to the camp, even if the buck were to be killed, the rampaging mother would still likely cause great destruction and possibly claim lives. Both have different characters and different goals, and deal with the situations in a different manner, but I don't like one over the other - mad respect for them both for being great, reasonably portrayed characters (*coughJP3mercscough*), responsible for some of the most iconic scenes and/or lines in the franchise. ...the video reminds me that I need to re-read the book, though. I barely appreciated it as a teen, and since I know The Lost World also exists as a novel, drastically different from the movie, that's even more a reason to do so. Looking forward to that.

[@mikemills54]

A great run down of these two fan favorites!

[@DCMarvel2009]

Muldoon ftw, no questions asked! XD Good job once again, Klayton!

[@TalonAshlar]

I always felt that the Raptors set a trap for Muldoon as they understood that the door to the power main must lead somewhere important; thus Tembo had an opportunity to chose his hunt while Muldoon was simply hunted.

[@KCromie]

Arnold had just been killed recently in that area, so that probably explains why they were already in the vicinity. They might have deduced that others would come looking for the person they just killed. Or maybe that area was just a good spot for them to hunt in general, so they typically stayed there as it provided good cover for sneak attacks and traps. I guess the latter would sort of tie into your theory of the raptors thinking the door leads somewhere, so that might be why they chose that spot assuming someone would eventually come by.

[@dtdimeflicks6708]

I've watched almost all of your JP videos. It's chilling how parallel our opinions are regarding the franchise.

[@KevinL205]

Never fail to disinterest me, great job as always

[@Soul93Taker]

In the movie, Muldoon died most likely because while he did know how dangerous raptors were he didn't exactly know their tactics, since apparently they grew them in Sorna and brought them to Nublar. In the book they had a bigger enclosure and could look how they hunted.

[@ukotoa1639]

Another amazing video!!!

[@jhoss0743]

When it comes to being a team player, I'd say Muldoon was slightly better. Both men put safety first and both ran into danger when others were running out. The deciding factor is when the two left their group. Roland leaves the hunting party to collect his fee, and possibly get away from Ludlow. I always assumed Muldoon told Ellie to "go now!" and walked into the raptor's trap so Muldoon would keep the predator's attention on him instead of Ellie.

[@chrisdawson6156]

Great video thank you for this

[@saiess]

R.I.P to both these incredible actors.

[@comet30265]

Damn I’m watching this video late. Good work man I enjoy watching your videos keep it up, From one JP fan to another.

[@Interitus1]

I think Muldoon was the better hunter. He was put in a situation that he didn't plan on. Facing off both against the storm which left him understaffed and Nedry's sabotage. Roland on the other hand knew exactly what he was getting into and brought a small army with him.

[@8ullfrog]

Never thought of Tembo as a reskin. Thank you for the video.

[@nickolaynaydenov3292]

Another good video! Keep it up! Cheers

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

Excellent work. Love these two.

[@jjkkk1002]

Would love to see them meet each other and also Alan grant. Reacting to how the Rex was captured by roland

[@nicholashendriks3347]

I think it should be taken into account that Roland was the leader of a team of like 50 trained men who all watched over each other (excluding Carter losing Dieter) while Muldoon was supposed to be the sole guard losing his life while protecting Ellie. A whole team vs one man.

[@Theamazonalexa]

here is my fav line they said Robert Muldoon: Clever girl Roland Tembo: I've spent to much time working in the company of death

[@aaronflowers8881]

I've spent enough time in the company of death.

[@Dasyntnow]

Roland no question. True he made a few silly mistakes that were uncharacteristic of a professional hunter but he made it out alive from a more hostile environment.

[@haldir56]

Think it’s also important to note that when Muldoon goes after the raptor in Jurassic Park, he did so to keep it preoccupied and allow Ellie to get to the power station. Though I’m still with you in thinking that he underestimated them.

[@StrikerFX47]

This is by far one far one of your best videos yet. I love both characters but I think Muldoon is still my favorite.

[@kenllacer]

I think the real question is: who wore the short shorts better?

[@NocturnEternal]

Ken Muldoon, hands down!

[@jerrypadilla4384]

Muldoon was on Hammond's "Leash" and was working under constraints. Roland, much less so.

[@dinosaurlady2]

Always had a crush on Muldoon. Those khaki short shorts, man...hehe. great video as usual!!! Was happy to see a vid about my all time favorite character in the franchise!

[@cupcakes8861]

Same here 😅

[@brockzinck8664]

I appriciate the theme of second life's in both Crichton's works and the films. In the novels, it was Dr. Malcom who was given the "2nd" chance at life. In the films, a less obvious, "reincarnation" for Muldoon's character in Roland Tembo, and the actions he takes. I hadn't noticed the Muldoon-Tembo connection until you mentioned it Klayton. Also, leaving your weapon next to a known eco-terrorist, Van Owen, and not carrying at least one reload for his rifle on his person is such a amateur mistake it's hard to take Tembo seriously as a hunter. Excellent video as always.

[@mrsentimental1995]

RIP to both these actors who played them!

[@syntase1221]

I love Muldoon. He is my favorite character in the novel.

[@Jesse12489]

I want a movie of these two.

[@justincameron9661]

Awesome video

[@ajurassicfan9557]

OH MY GOD! I literally was going to suggest to you to make this video. Only you should of thrown in Wheatley in as well. So funny.

[@erikvonerik]

You are correct in the end of your video , which is very informative and enjoyable. A very sad but crazy thing is that both actors died after their respective portrayals of what was supposed to be the same character. Both Muldoon and Tembo were in fact Muldoon, who was supposed to have survived the raptor attack in the first film, but when the actor died his character was rewritten ( lightly ) and recast. That actor then died too tragically.

[@justinsigmund6200]

I'm glad you do your homework on the weapons used in the movies. A lot of people don't know that a SPAS is simi auto as well as pump.

[@1987MartinT]

Honestly, I think both these guys are incredible badasses.

[@Reaper08x]

Imagine the Ingen Hunters from TLW being led by Muldoon instead of Roland. It would be an interesting dynamic between Muldoon and Malcom.

[@angeldust3981]

Bruh Love ur videos

[@user-tr6tj9bj5z]

Hey Klayon, Sorry that im late T_T I had just started school today Love your videos ❤

[@HacksignKT]

very nice video

[@weeentbean]

Here in 2021. Now that I’m older they’re my new favourite JP characters.

[@coltkillergaming5685]

There number one and four on my list

[@aliciachapman]

Roland Tembo is one of my favorite characters over Muldoon. Awesome job on the video. :)

[@testacular6805]

This was really good

[@ravenshotred]

My headcanon, is that Muldoon fought off the raptors and left on his own accord and now lives off the land as a scarred badass hunter in the Savannah of Africa.

[@Havok229x]

Imagine Muldoon showing up to lead or rescue the Ingen Hunters in Lost World.

[@markrainbow-parr1816]

Roland Tembo all the way - Muldoon is a straight up guy but Tembo gets my vote, purely based on the deleted scene and his "do you want to set up base camp or a buffet" line. Awesome vid as always sir. Proud To Be A Patreon

[@mr.k418]

I think we can all agree that these guys were amazing hunters and it’s a shame we won’t get to see them in later movie due to their actors passing.

[@porpus99]

It is a shame Pete Postlethwaite passed away. Roland would have made an interesting cameo in Jurassic World.

[@Jaxymann]

Could you imagine how badass it would be if these two teamed up? 😂

[@ACrazedGaming]

Clever girl will always be my favorite line

[@fantabuilding]

Two bloody good actors, sad we won't get see more of them.

[@DuraheLL]

Absolutely amazingly written and lovable characters

[@monsterhanna6691]

Considering what you've just said, I do agree that it seems like Tembo was in-fact the better hunter. Either way, both characters are badass and I seriously wish they had more screen time. Great video as always. 👍
