Jurassic Park - Tyrannosaurus Rex Attacks Gallimimus Herd

The Tyrannosaurus Rex comes out of the forest and attacks a Gallimimus, one of my favourite scenes in the movie.

1993. I still think Jurassic Park's dinosaur animation was the most convincing. You'd think with all the computer animation technology now they'd be able to do better. They were far ahead of their time. This was at a time when most people still thought dinosaurs were slow, cold-blooded reptiles either walking on all fours or relying on their tails for balance. Tyrannosaurus was just a 6 ton wingless bird, essentially.

@GermanOperaSinger Hey, I agree the reason why jurassic park is so convincing has nothing to do with the technology, but because of the fact that they had a lot of traditional artist that did actual research on topics like dinosaur anatomy. Most movies featuring dinosaurs nowadays are made by relativaly young visual artists who do less research on the topic and continue where this movie ended so the fundamentals are weaker.

I dont think that the spinosaurus could've messed with this t-rex, he's just so huge and aggressive

Oh, and actually, Planet Dinosaur is probably one of the best Dinosaur Documentaries ever produced where scientific accuracy is concerned, especially alongside other recent bullshit like Clash of the Dinos and Jurassic Fight Club.

As for pack hunting in Allosaurus: Such behavior is mostly speculation. There is little if any evidence to suggest such behavior as pack hunting in large Theropods, though it isn't entirely out of the question. And no, Sauropod skin probably wasn't especially thick :P

In response to below comments regarding biteforce in Allosaurus, it actually did exert fewer pounds per square inch than the bite of a Lion. The real power behind an Allosaurus bite was in the neck: recent analysis indicates that Allosaurus had very powerful neck muscles which it probably used in striking at Sauropod prey, slicing the flesh with its serrated teeth. Essentially, Allosaurus probably used its jaws like a hatchet lined with very sharp teeth.
