Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus Rex vs Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus

Introduction:

Rex

Spino

Rex is introduced by the rippling water. Rex's introduction: The rippling water made it suspenseful. After that, it comes out and destroys a Ford.

Spino is introduced with a roar and Grant says, "No, it sounds bigger." How Grant knows it sounds bigger still gets to me. He's seen them once. After that, it runs out, eats a guy, and the plane hits its sail, destroying the plane.

Strength:

Rex

It destroyed a car and flipped it. Later on, it destroys a bathroom, chases a Jeep, runs through a fallen tree, and dents the side of the Jeep. Later in the movie, it runs through a bunch of trees and catches a Gallimimus.

Spino

It brought down a plane, it killed a (sub adult) T-Rex, it ran through a fence that was clearly designed to keep dinosaurs out. I know what you're all thinking. Holy crap, what can stop this thing? It seems unstoppable. But, like anything, it has it's Achilles heel. A small wooden door and a tree stopped this unstoppable monster of Jack Horner's imagination.

Consistency:

Rex

Refer to destroyed explorer.

It smashed a car, dented the side of a Jeep, ran through a large tree, ran through a series of trees, and then came back for a reign of destruction in the second movie, where it destroyed an SUV, pushed an RV off a cliff, walked through a brick wall, destroyed a bus, almost ate a traffic light, knocked down the 8-ball from a gas station, and ran through a wall.

Spino

Refer to fence, refer to wooden door.

It killed a T-Rex, it ran through a large fence, it brought down a plane, it couldn't handle a small wooden door and a tree. 'Nuff said.

Agree with me or not, this is what I think on the topic.

Oh, and regarding the "It sounds bigger" thing. I don't think so. Watch the fight. Rex's roar was impressive, Spino's wasn't that great if you ask me.

John Morrison

Your right, the t rex was more consistant, though I looked back and saw it wasn't a wooden door it was metal at least 3 inches thick, though it still should have made it through if it broak through the fence. The rex's roar definatly carried more then the spinos did.

Lord Vader

The door was wooden with some steel rienforcement.

Primal King

Agreed with all. Spino's actions in that movie were all unrealistic. Rex did things in the first and second that a rex was perfectly capable of doing. to quote you: "'Nuff said."

"How did Allan know it was bigger?"

Because, he heard its foot falls. Remember the...

THUMP... THUMP.... THUMP... ROAR!!!

It's kinda like that... Except, Not really...

 I've had to live with Cattle During Weening, (Sucks, Don't ask) Usually you can slightly tell, But not truly, it all sounds the same. Seeing how the Calves are about half the Size of the Cows when we ship them, There's a small difference... 

Never the less, A good comparison. *Thumbs up* Even if I believe JP 3 isn't really given its due... 

Raise up our glasses, against evil forces, Singin'--

Whiskey for my men, and beer for my horses.

No, I don't remember ever hearing the thing's footsteps. Watch the scene where smashes through the fence. As it walks away, no sound until it hisses. No footstep booming.

Something Real

JPCerato

I totally agree with you! (even tho I'm a Spinosaurus fan, still love rex tho)

Lord Vader

Thanks guys, and JPCerato, that's fine that you're on team Spino. The team thing is essentially a popularity contest and doesn't matter.

Sci-Fi King25

After some searching, I found a legit comparision...finally...

Also, I do prefer the Rex roar over the Spino roar; and also, the Tyrannosaurus had the tense entrance, but the Spinosaurus had the suspenseful entrance. Why? With the Rex, you knew it was a Tyrannosaurus, but with the Spinosaurus, you didn't know what the heck it was.

Jezza

I agree with everything except the "Sub-Adult" thing. They never, ever said anything about rex being a sub-adult, it's just something you rex fans came up with to keep the "King" in his place. It was an adult, face it. You just made the "sub-adult" up. No offense, just kind'a got tired of hearing that over and over agfain.

Now that I've gotten off my little soap-box, I agree with everything else. Spino can bring down a giant reinforced, steal fence designed to keep titanosaurs in, but not a small 4" thick, wooden door. Or the plane thing. I love spino (rex or acro second in line), but sometimes I wonder if the makers of the film were on crack.

It was more like a monster movie to me.

Lord Vader

The whole sub adult thing is said because in the special features (I think, I haven't checked for myself) that the JP and TLW Rex's were 16 feet tall, and the JP3 Rex was 14.5 feet tall.

JP III Rex was 37 ft long and 14 ft tall.

Rexy was 46 ft long and 19 ft tall(don't quote me on the height).

The TLW: JP male was 43 ft long and 16 ft tall.

I agree with you MrHappy.
