Description
My favourite movie of all time.I hate the fact that Spielberg K.Oed Muldoon. I love how, in the novel, he gets injured and pissed up and is running around armed to the teeth and shit-faced.
Still love the movie though! Bob Peck (as with the rest of the cast) was ace!!!
My fave is still Alan Grant though. I wore a blue shirt and Khakis for years after that. Hold on. I am today!!!

[Ah, shit. Looked at this again and his left eye (on OUR right) is so so wrong. Too low down. What was I thinking. Damned quick sketches...]
[EDIT]
I've tweaked this now because the eye was bugging me so friggin' much. I've moved his eye, changed the crappy speech bubble and added a little beautiful JP logo on the bottom. Looks like a collector's card now.

Ever watch "The Hunt for Red October"? The Montanna thing is towards the end, see what actor utters his(Sam Neill's) regrets at not seeing Montana. And in the case of the Raptor, it would be called Utahraptor [link] which might make them too large. A very likely species to explain the size of the raptors (Velociraptor)in the first film(they really would have been chicken sized or just a bit bigger [link] ) In reality they seem to be closer to Deinonychus in size [link] . They were called Velociraptor antirrhopus at the time of the film and Crichton's novel alluded to the name being one in the same. In reality the Velociraptor is Asian(found) not American(found), this [link] here should explain some of the issues with the raptors in the park. But, you can't count out DNA/Gene mixing/mishandling due to purpose or the source of the material(mosquitoes) which may lead to such drifts.

Ah. I remember now. Been a few years since I've seen that. May have to look up the dvd.
I read that the so called Velociraptors in Jurassic Park both novel and film are Velociraptor in name only and every other trait was Deinonychus. As you say, it could be due to a previous contemporary (to the novel) scientific classification. That and I'm sure it would have been Hollywoodised. Let's face it. Hollywood is full of shit. Take "Historical" stories like U571 and The Patriot for instance >>> [link] [link]

U-571 is a good jaunt into "What if" and in the wiki article the guy who actually led the real boarding mission for the British praised it. I mean, Brad Pitt's new film "Inglorious Bastards" (in a spoilers note
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, bud, but U571 was bollocks, pure and simple. Imagine how pissed off people would get if a film was made showing the first landing on the moon by the RAF in the 1950's. I mean, there's etiquette in these things. You just don't go about pissing on people's achievements. In that same Wikipedia article even the writer expressed a feeling or shame for being so slap-dash with facts.
And as for Inglorius Bastards it's a fairy tale. QT starts the movie with the line "Once upon a time in occupied France..." And Master And Commander was based on a series of fiction books so the film adheres to the plot of said novel. Also, the stories were set during the Napoleonic Wars with the books dealing with French, American and Spanish enemies so any one of the countries could have been chosen as the main foes.

I loved Jurassic Park so much (still do). I went to see it 9 times in our local flee pit on Saturday mornings with my two best buds. We had all the toys and would run through the woods pretending there were dinos after us.
This scene was a shocker though. There was no way Muldoon, the hardest motherfucker on the island could get [link] .
But, alas, he was British, and American movies tend to do that to us. When in reality Muldoon probably would've head-butted the Raptor and kicked the shit out of it while it writhed on the floor. Ha ha ha.
Why are we so violent here!?!?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you totally, he would have swept its legs out, and lived in the woods creating traps or something. He was probably SAS and it's such a slap in the face to say that he would have gone down like that. Sure, Raptors are scary and good hunters, but they are young ones, he would have been through a lot of stuff, and had concentration galore, so he could have outwitted them. I like to think he would have been living there Cadillacs and Dinosaurs style! I mean, in Jurrassic Park 3 a KID survives in the wild...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. Yeah... Didn't think about that. That was a bit of bollocks, a kid living on the island. Surprised Muldoon didn't have a knife to gut the mother lover...
Oh, well.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs... I remember that. Funnily enough it was the back-up strip in the Jurassic Park Topps comic over here. God know's why. Very odd.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Man, Muldoon would have ruled the island! It would have been great to treat him more like a Brock Sampson from Venture Brothers!
I think it's because Topps released both (at least over here), so it was probably cross promotion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably. I was only 11 at the time so I didn't have a clue.
I love how Muldoon is portrayed in the novel. Don't get me wrong, Bob Peck was spot on! But I love the fact that Muldoon was drunk by the end of the book and he drank after getting wounded and started blowing Raptors up with a friggin' rocket launcher.
Hard. Core.
I'd have loved to see Bob Peck get injured by the raptor only and then go down that route with the character.

Well look at Mr. Samuel L. Jackson's character, leaves the control room and gets eaten, save for one of his forearms/hand. At least he gave Elle a 'hand' more so than Hammond did.

Damn, Laura Dern was hot in that film.

The Raptor did like Grant Theorized at the dig, Muldoon saw the one Raptor minding its own business and the other raptor was standing there and Muldoon got too target fixated(Tunnel Vision) to notice. He never hunted anything like a Raptor before, bad luck, good Raptor.

that was a great scene. this was my favorite movie of all time, i was seven when it came out and i was foaming at the mouth, i read that book twice before it came out and twice more after the fact. The CG was incredible for its time, and it stands very well today.
have you given any consideration to illustrating other great scenes in cinema history? i'd be interested in seeing other one-liners brought to new life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cheers
I have and I probably will. Jurassic Park is my favourite movie so I had to do that one.
I want to do one from Falling Down too. After that I don't know. Any suggestions?
Normally I'm watching the film at the time n' see a scene I like then jot it down.

i've always found most of Scharzenegger's lines to be pretty funny, that or some old kurt russell stuff

I've decided. Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. A mine of genius. Think I may steer clear of obvious one-liners. I dunno...

Apparently they're making a 3rd film, yeah.
I bought the dvd of the entire first series of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon. I forgot how fantastic that series looked. The Ghosts, monsters etc... I want to get out my old action figures...

This was my favourite line too. This and "Big Tim, the Human Piece of Toast". Genius, back when Spielberg still had it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I think Spielberg still has it. Just a different kind of it. Just like the dinos of Jurassic Park itself, he evolved.
It would be interesting to see how he'd tackle Jurassic Park if he remade it today. With the same cast of course.
But that film... Bottled lightning. I love it so much. That is the movie that got me into 'movies'. Astonishing still.

Dr Grant is indeed the best of all the characters and I do agree that Muldon shouldn't have been killed at least so early...
Best dinosaur from that movie was the Dilophosaurus.
good art though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cheers. I used to have the Dilophosaur action figure that squirted water. Remember that? They were ace. I was always narked that they never brought out a gallimimus action figure. They released a Stegosaurus though and it wasn't even in the damned movie.
Sorry. Getting a bit off subject here. My fave dino from the movie was Triceratops. Lovely animal. Beautiful scene.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Stegosaur only came in the second film I believe, that's it...
That was a nice scene too. For me nothing beats the arrival to Isla Nublar in the InGen A-109 Helicopter. The fly in then landing by that waterfall
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. Stegosaur scene in the second film was one of the big selling points in the trailer.
I love that scene too. And the following scenes of the Jeeps Wranglers driving through the beautiful green landscape with their garish colourful markings.

It was a bit surprising seeing it in the cinema for the first time. I thought old Robert had the mother fucker.
What's so good about the scene is it's so quiet. But when the attack comes it's not like a horror movie JUMP! loud noise to scare the viewer but a horrible slow hiss and time for it to dawn on you that "oh, no. He's fucked".
It's nothing like Quint in Jaws where he is petrified of the shark and screams with such terror that it makes you feel physically sick. With Muldoon it's almost a gentlemanly "Well done! You got me" and then there terrible scream of pain, not fear.
I would've preferred Muldoon to get a shot off at the Raptor though, and both of them die. The way the scene actually plays out it almost makes him look arrogant and ignorant and nowhere near as good a hunter as we know him to be.
