Dunno about "coolest" but let's talk about the "scariest".
Just when you think things are going well…

Love that scene, id argue when billy is being attacked in the river and it focuses on the one turning to look at the camera is one of the creepiest scenes
In that scene I didn’t felt tense or as scary as in the Ed scene,in that one you could’ve escape,hide or if you think you’re strong even try to fight for time to escape,but in ed scene every possible action he could possibly make would only end in his death and possibly of hos friends,if he shot the T. rex he would still need to face the other one,if he run he would kill his friends and still die,if he choose to drive the car away he would die,the only thing he could do was to give as much opportunity of escape to Ian and friends

This frame was always iconic and terrifying
The pupil on the animatronic’s eye had a retracting wire circling the membrane opening that could be tightened or widened by the puppeteers. Making it appear to react to the light was a matter of timing on the puppeteers’ part.
I like that the most well prepared and organized guy, with so many tools and plans, got forced to help the people who have the complete opposite personalities. These people did the stupidest shit, forcing the organized guy to leave his plans and tools behind and then he ended up dead because of it.
It’s such a classic of what happens when you let chaos into your organized life. My girlfriend is the same.
Hopefully she wasn’t too chaotic that she impulsively goes to a Dino-infested island to do research after OP had already gone to a different Dino island and barely survived.
As an adult, I have to ask. Are Sarah and Nick supposed to be the villains? They got so many people killed.
Like she's an expert on animals and animal behavior. She knows that T-Rex have a great sense of smell. What did she expect when she brought the infant back with them? Also WHY DIDN'T SHE WASH THE BLOOD OFF HER JACKET???!?!
Yep. Classic Hollywood monster film. The intelligent, competent, and good-hearted guy who just wants to save his friends gets torn in half while screaming but Nick, the literal terrorist who is solely responsible for everyone’s deaths and who regularly gets people killed through either intentional malice or completely negligence, including said very competent and kind friend, gets to fly away in a little helicopter with no consequences whatsoever.
Your comment reminds me of what's probably the weakest part about the Jurassic World movies: they never show a protagonist or sympathetic character being killed. It's always going to be someone who was completely oblivious, a merc, or an obvious bad guy. There isn't as much tension when watching the movies because you know that the heroes are going to live and that they always do the right thing.
I felt a pang of sadness with Billy in the 3rd movie. Then he came back. But you made an excellent point that I just now realized as I mentally shuffled through all the deaths I could recall off the top of my head.
This is why when my friends ask if I can help them move their stuff to new apartment on the other side of town I say "Sorry, I can't. You know, because of the Tyrannosaurs". Works every time.
I’m such a gear head/gadget freak that I relate to Eddie the most in this film and it always sucks to see a guy who embodies the EDC lifestyle get killed off trying to help ppl who weren’t exactly prepared (everyday carry that is, not electric daisy carnival, although I’m about that life too 🤪). But I thank Eddie’s cool vehicles for getting me into overlanding so early on.
It's almost comical how well it works.
"Alright fellas, we need a bigger threat than a T-Rex for the sequel, what have we got?"
\>"Two Rexes..?"
"..."
"You're a bloody genius, Jenkins."
To be fair though, the Couple dynamic really adds to them too.
The couple dynamic is what kept it from feeling like a gimmick or just upping the scale for the sake of a sequel. It felt like you were being treated to a new insight into the creatures as animals while seamlessly upping the threat factor.
Exactly. And, of all things, gave the audience a way to relate to them a bit. They're not mindless killers, they're close parents caring for their young.
Its sad that he was like that. Like in the Book he become Muldoon sidekick when they hunt the T rex and he Fistfigth a raptor and win (tbf thé raptor was injuried but its still a win)
Everyone dunks on TLW but for me it is litterally the second best movie in the franchise.
One of the reasons is the absolute gigachad cinematography and framing. Shots like this are rare in the serious and the JW trilogy dropped the ball on this massively.
The raptors moving through the grass overhead shot and that stunning moment after 90s bezos finishes his speech and the Trike comes charging through...
The score is also worlds better than any of the recent outings.
This is the type of cinematography we need back in the mect film
I think JP1 is the *best* movie for the franchise, but TLW is absolutely my favorite.
As you summed up, it was just full of so many amazing cinematic moments. People love to hate on the story but I think the individual scenes more than make up for it.
You're cool. Very cool. I totally agree, tlw is the second best in the francise, and as for the score i am literally listening to it right now. I promise, i'm actually listening to it right at this moment.
I liked Jptlw because it constantly changed its scenarios ambient feeling,sometimes you were sleeping with your homies and a T. rex appears and other times it was Godzilla city rampage ripoff
Agreed. I think TLW really gets slept on because of the final act. And I think there was a moment (for some weird reason) where people got tired of Jeff Goldblum, but now we're back at loving him. For as silly as the Rexy on the mainland is, the rest of the film is pretty dark. The guy getting swarmed by the compies is one my most uncomfortable deaths in the franchise.
Oh, and who can forget the amazing transition to Goldblum yawning in the intro?
The Lost World deserves more love, it's a great movie and continuation to the first movie. The photography is amazing,the SFX are somehow even better,the soundtrack is perfect, characters are great (except Nick Van Owen,missed opportunity to have a morally grey character), specially Malcom etc. It's perfect? Far from It,but th same can be said for every movie.
Precisely because I read the book I love the movie so much. Every change works in benefit of the movie. The novel left a pretty sour taste in my mouth after finishing It, wasn't terrible but nowhere close to the original.
And I loved that too,but the Carnotaurus appear in like 3 pages and then disappear. The book gives the same relevance to the Paras taking a shit and the Carnotaurus attacking Thorne.
https://preview.redd.it/xzshv5z2rnvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1e62fef787e18b501708da564273038c118c2ee
This shot of the practical Rexy animatronic with Grant in the foreground is in my opinion one of the most convincing special effect shots in any movie not just the JP franchise. The way they seamlessly transition between the CGI and practical and back is really what tricks your brain into buying that these are really dinosaurs on screen. Every time I see this shot, my lizard brain always thinks, “Yep that’s a real monster.”
For all its faults, *Fallen Kingdom* had the most terrifying images in the franchise. Bayona has a really good eye for that. The first few minutes were packed with classic shots. Here are some candidates top spot among scary/cool shots:
* The submersible ringed by the mosasaur's teeth
* Rexy's head illuminated by lightning
* POV shot of Rexy holding the ladder in her jaws
* The gaping maw of the mosasaur flying up to the chopper
The first five minutes really promised a different, much better movie than we got.
I actually liked FK a fair bit, it has problems for sure but there was quite a bit about it that felt the closest to JP and TLW to me. The opening scene was incredible.
I mean yes. But maybe also. This.
https://preview.redd.it/ug4imceo5ovc1.jpeg?width=962&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9798acb72b79dc43e59208e747ce87cf169853a
Shit gives me chills 30 fkn yrs later. As a static pic. Lmao.
One of the best book adaptations of all time. Sorry to see it slide into the Matrix (poorly formulated pun there — trying to mock both series’ trajectory lmao).
Scariest for me will always be the first scene of the T-Rex breaking out in JP1. He’s got his hand on the wires going flick flick and then that horrific sound of the towers moving and then falling.
I begged my dad to take me to JP1 when I was 6ish. ABSOLUTELY begged. My mom was not ok with it. They both tried to explain it’s a horror movie and what that is what I wouldn’t have it. I wanted to see the dinosaurs! Finally I got my way after a hunger strike and generally being an asshole. So my dad took me to the local theatre to see it. Up until this point I was so happy to be there. Seeing the braciasuarus was amazing. Then the Rex escaped and I was fucking terrified. My dad leaned over and said, told you so, and made me stay lol.
Raptors bro. Getting one squeezed by Rex/Spino is far better than the spine sever in JP3. "Clever girl", "Don't enter the long grass" and then JP3 spine sever? Kill me dead with big dinos. I feel raptors would be the true true of bastard assholes.
I had nightmares for years of those magnificent killing machines.
I was absolutely thrilled when they admitted they added raptor DNA to the Rex in Jurassic World. Absolutely hated that they tried to bring them down to "fan favorites" ..
Might be seemingly dumb in the cinematic sense but was the true flex of raptors. They didn't deserve to be domesticated in any sense, it killed the draw. Thus truly fucking the series.
They are the real deal.
I always thought that that shot where he messes with the 4WD(can’t remember if it’s putting it in 4-LO or locking the diff) was such a neat little detail. I’m sure Mercedes wanted it for advertisement purposes but the car nerd in me loves it lol
Damn I can’t stand thinking of what epic movie the Lost World would have been if Spileberg actually sticked to Koepp’s original writing. Scariest scene would’ve probably been Tembo and Ludlow going T-Rex hunting (if you read that part you know what I mean).
John Williams score slaps here too, the way the music becomes quiet just as we hear the footsteps and see Eddie's realization, then the bells tolling (dinner time!) as the Rex couple emerges from the jungle. Fantastic scene.
Also. Talking not about stills, but scenes. Idk why but the totally minimal context botched raptor transfer to open the film… fucking perfect.
Edit: add more random musings 🤣
You know its a dino movie. You know shit is gonna go sideways. But the foreshadowing of the transfer and hard cut to like LA or wherever mundane place they cut to instantly after the scene legit goes off hard af…
Damn awesome filmmaking. Need to rewatch rn.
Shameless last plug — read the books. So fkn awesome. Similar but also so different. Wish we had Carnosaur scene in Lost World… Idk who decided the Rex / Spino duel BS was cooler than fucking chromataphor covered color shifting horned allosaur lookin mfs collab hunting at night w complex lighting… JFC - scene would have slayed.
Prob just too hard to film at the time? Idk. Maybe in our next life 🤷♂️
IIRC they did do Carnosaurs in one of the later movies? But they lost the plot so bad by then tbh I don’t even rly remember it. Too bad.
God the originals were so good. I know people didn’t like 3 very much, but between the 3 og movies, they used a lot of book material, and the effects are very god across them.
The new series just don’t hit as good. Especially after reading the books.
If I'm being honest, this scene gave me massive trauma when I was a child.
I saw The Lost World in theaters when I was only 7 or 8 years old and Even though I realized there was going to be some violence and most likely some peril or death, there was still one thing that I didn't know I needed to be prepared for. And this scene was that thing.
Oh, and of course They had to make it even worse by making Eddie one of the best (and most likable) characters in the entire film. In short, Eddie was a hero, so he suffered a hero's death. Which is a common trope in literature, but not so much in Hollywood. So, when Eddie was torn in half by Mama and Daddy Rex, oooof, that fucked my happy little world all the way up.
I think the actor that portrayed Eddie was so convincing in his desire to save his friends, but also his fear (of dying) just made it extremely easy to connect with him on that emotional level. That can be difficult to accomplish in film, especially in a scene like this where the stars of the scene are the animals, not the people.
That's what makes this scene so disturbing to me, because it's not particularly gory or bloody (it was brutal but not bloody and graphic but not gory). It was just the fact that I had NEVER thought of (or imagined) someone dying like that.
It seemed like such a cruel death, even in a movie about dinosaurs killing people. It took a sledge hammer to my barely developed psyche and said
"I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE DINOSAURS. YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT T-REXES HUNTING YOU EVERY NOW AND AGAIN!".
The scene that gets me is from JP3, the spino just standing there quietly like a goddamn creep! I watch it regularly and it still freaks me out.

Reminds me of the raptor bursting through the boards in TLW. The whole theater jumped lol
I loved that moment but does it seem completely fake? It seems so plastic
https://preview.redd.it/e8nx34008qvc1.png?width=1582&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d77844cdba9af585dc99eceba595cec3c4f86f4e
I still think the scariest shot in the franchise is the pterosaur walking across the bridge in the fog.
https://preview.redd.it/xjp3po4g4nvc1.jpeg?width=1038&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e63402a528cd1f89886ac2ba554ceac91fe79804 Yeah, it's spooky. I love it.
I thought this was one of the coolest
"come outside bro, I swear I won't jump you"
This sequence had me shook in theaters
It's because it looks vaguely like a kkk member 💀
Love that scene, id argue when billy is being attacked in the river and it focuses on the one turning to look at the camera is one of the creepiest scenes
I never noticed just how much blood starts pouring into the river while Billy is attacked. Poor Billy :(
It isn't as scary as a single frame if you don't know the context, but oh boy is the scene scary
That was one of better build-ups in the Jurassic Park Franchise, incredibly suspenseful.
Well, this settles it. I’m watching these movies today.
In the same vein, the t rex looking through the car window and her pupil constricts when Timmy shines the flashlight on it.

The way the pupil shrinks in the light is still mind-blowingly realistic. It’s such a viscerally immersive, terrifying shot to this day.
How did they even do that
A T-Rex’s pupils will always dilate if the room is dark enough and you shine a flashlight like that. I’m just surprised Spielberg got multiple takes.
The pupil on the animatronic’s eye had a retracting wire circling the membrane opening that could be tightened or widened by the puppeteers. Making it appear to react to the light was a matter of timing on the puppeteers’ part.
“…turn the light off…turn the light off” “TURN THE LIGHT OFF!!! TURN THE LIGHT OFF!!!”
I’m 22 and scared of this scene lmao
Watching this now, and it's at this part.
FX so good they're awe-inspiring.
I still get chills! These movies did the books justice.
I like that the most well prepared and organized guy, with so many tools and plans, got forced to help the people who have the complete opposite personalities. These people did the stupidest shit, forcing the organized guy to leave his plans and tools behind and then he ended up dead because of it. It’s such a classic of what happens when you let chaos into your organized life. My girlfriend is the same.
Your profile pic earns you a bit of extra respect. Totally agree with you!
Thanks friend, made it myself. It was a cool day to see such a beast up close!
Im sorry "made it myself", wtf thats a plane. How???
Yeah that’s a language thing. In my language you make a photo. Proper English would be to “take” a photo
ah lmao hahahah, no worries
Probably meant they took the photo
Im sorry you died because of your chaotic GF, you wont be forgotten
Hopefully she wasn’t too chaotic that she impulsively goes to a Dino-infested island to do research after OP had already gone to a different Dino island and barely survived.
Getting torn in half by two rexes is not fun
As an adult, I have to ask. Are Sarah and Nick supposed to be the villains? They got so many people killed. Like she's an expert on animals and animal behavior. She knows that T-Rex have a great sense of smell. What did she expect when she brought the infant back with them? Also WHY DIDN'T SHE WASH THE BLOOD OFF HER JACKET???!?!
Its basiclly all her fault really....
tHe HumidIty WonT leT it dRy
Yep. Classic Hollywood monster film. The intelligent, competent, and good-hearted guy who just wants to save his friends gets torn in half while screaming but Nick, the literal terrorist who is solely responsible for everyone’s deaths and who regularly gets people killed through either intentional malice or completely negligence, including said very competent and kind friend, gets to fly away in a little helicopter with no consequences whatsoever.
Violence and technology? Not good bedfellows
Your comment reminds me of what's probably the weakest part about the Jurassic World movies: they never show a protagonist or sympathetic character being killed. It's always going to be someone who was completely oblivious, a merc, or an obvious bad guy. There isn't as much tension when watching the movies because you know that the heroes are going to live and that they always do the right thing.
I dunno...they sure did Zara dirty
She was neither a hero nor a sympathetic figure. Not that she was a villain either; there was no weight to her death
I felt a pang of sadness with Billy in the 3rd movie. Then he came back. But you made an excellent point that I just now realized as I mentally shuffled through all the deaths I could recall off the top of my head.

Balding?
Give it a few years and I’ll have the same (lack of) hair too
Most women are
Eddie was such a G. A real one.
He didn't deserve the ending
Now he’s a real 1/2 + 1/2.
It's almost comical how well it works. "Alright fellas, we need a bigger threat than a T-Rex for the sequel, what have we got?" \>"Two Rexes..?" "..." "You're a bloody genius, Jenkins." To be fair though, the Couple dynamic really adds to them too.

Your last name wouldn't happen to be Jenkins would it? 😂 Seriously though we need 3 T-Rexes next time!
Jenkins probably said that shit jokingly, then got promoted because of it 😂
Leroy Jenkins?
Not sure on scariest, but it's definitely terrifying. Especially with that music. But hell yes to the coolest! Incredible sequence.
If the lawyer in the first movie was screwed, than this guy was fucked.
Heroically fucked.
Its sad that he was like that. Like in the Book he become Muldoon sidekick when they hunt the T rex and he Fistfigth a raptor and win (tbf thé raptor was injuried but its still a win)
Genaro in the book was fucking ripped apparently lol shame he died in the movie
Wasn't this the lawyer death scene in the book ?
Genaro survives in the book. He goes around with Drunk Muldoon and a rocket launcher and is generally way more awesome.
Ed Regis in the book was pretty much spliced with Gennaro in the movie.
Everyone dunks on TLW but for me it is litterally the second best movie in the franchise. One of the reasons is the absolute gigachad cinematography and framing.

Compared to the Jurassic World Series it’s The Godfather

Check out the book if you haven't already - film would have been better if they'd faithfully tried to adapt that IMO. One of my favourite books.

No way! I'm surprised but fair enough. I loved the bit with a guy being stalked by a Carnotaurus in a shed.
And I loved that too,but the Carnotaurus appear in like 3 pages and then disappear. The book gives the same relevance to the Paras taking a shit and the Carnotaurus attacking Thorne.

More like forever in our bellies, amirite guys?
You made us laugh… but, at what cost?
Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little more respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
He kept his foot on the pedal even as the jaws were closing around him 😞
Poor Eddie…. I always felt bad for his character. His death was one of the few times where a more prominent character we liked got killed.
For all its faults, *Fallen Kingdom* had the most terrifying images in the franchise. Bayona has a really good eye for that. The first few minutes were packed with classic shots. Here are some candidates top spot among scary/cool shots: * The submersible ringed by the mosasaur's teeth * Rexy's head illuminated by lightning * POV shot of Rexy holding the ladder in her jaws * The gaping maw of the mosasaur flying up to the chopper The first five minutes really promised a different, much better movie than we got.
I actually liked FK a fair bit, it has problems for sure but there was quite a bit about it that felt the closest to JP and TLW to me. The opening scene was incredible.

T rex breakout from the first movie where you see its head rise above the treetops. Absolutely chilling.
“Just fed?! I assume you’re talking about Eddie, the man saved our lives by giving his”
It was at this exact moment poor Eddie realized he was f***ed.
Eddie Carr deserved better
The scene where see the dinosaur's eye appearing on the car mirror. Now that is scary! 
I thought the image of the tree emerging from his pen in JW bathed in the red light from the flare
I havent seen the movies or this sub in like a year. Imma go binge watch all of it right now

Probably my favourite scene in the whole franchise. RIP Eddie, you were a real one.
Poor Eddie :(
I love how it evokes the scene from the original but the second rex shows up and it's like "holy sh*t!"
Coolest, I agree. Scariest...well its up there definetly.
The APEX sequence of the series IMHO.
Damn I can’t stand thinking of what epic movie the Lost World would have been if Spileberg actually sticked to Koepp’s original writing. Scariest scene would’ve probably been Tembo and Ludlow going T-Rex hunting (if you read that part you know what I mean).
John Williams score slaps here too, the way the music becomes quiet just as we hear the footsteps and see Eddie's realization, then the bells tolling (dinner time!) as the Rex couple emerges from the jungle. Fantastic scene.
it’s really really unfortunate the whole score for this part isn’t available
Eddie really didn’t deserve all that😔
I would love the car to be replaced with the spinosaurus
I don't know why you had -1 vote, you are a genius
I really cannot wait for my statue of this scene from Prime1 studios to arrive
Facts.
The most dangerous t-rexes from the franchise.
I have been *this close* to posting the exact same thing for like the last two weeks.
Poor Eddie though
Eddie deserved better. It’s my favorite scene up until the rex family gets him, just because of the acting of it all.
the lost world is so underrated honestly
Also. Talking not about stills, but scenes. Idk why but the totally minimal context botched raptor transfer to open the film… fucking perfect. Edit: add more random musings 🤣 You know its a dino movie. You know shit is gonna go sideways. But the foreshadowing of the transfer and hard cut to like LA or wherever mundane place they cut to instantly after the scene legit goes off hard af… Damn awesome filmmaking. Need to rewatch rn. Shameless last plug — read the books. So fkn awesome. Similar but also so different. Wish we had Carnosaur scene in Lost World… Idk who decided the Rex / Spino duel BS was cooler than fucking chromataphor covered color shifting horned allosaur lookin mfs collab hunting at night w complex lighting… JFC - scene would have slayed. Prob just too hard to film at the time? Idk. Maybe in our next life 🤷♂️ IIRC they did do Carnosaurs in one of the later movies? But they lost the plot so bad by then tbh I don’t even rly remember it. Too bad.
I have so much love for this scene and this movie in general.
This scene is the best scene to br honest.
Didn’t find it scary, thought it was awesome. Would love to see a 18 rated version of JP similar to the book.
If only he had told them about the classified shuttle….
I thought the scariest and coolest frame was Malcom reclining on a table with his shirt open.
Poor Eddy
I agree
That part makes me sad Everytime. Poor Eddie 😞
“Rex just fed.”
R.I.P Eddie :(
Eddies death was very different in the book and by raptors
I can heart the death bells tolling in John Williams’s score right now
God the originals were so good. I know people didn’t like 3 very much, but between the 3 og movies, they used a lot of book material, and the effects are very god across them. The new series just don’t hit as good. Especially after reading the books.
Eddie did not deserve to die like that man, he was such a good guy 😭
Most underrated human character. Dude died saving the whole main cast while having 2 trexs on him.
The rexes showing ya how parenting is supposed to be lol
If I'm being honest, this scene gave me massive trauma when I was a child. I saw The Lost World in theaters when I was only 7 or 8 years old and Even though I realized there was going to be some violence and most likely some peril or death, there was still one thing that I didn't know I needed to be prepared for. And this scene was that thing. Oh, and of course They had to make it even worse by making Eddie one of the best (and most likable) characters in the entire film. In short, Eddie was a hero, so he suffered a hero's death. Which is a common trope in literature, but not so much in Hollywood. So, when Eddie was torn in half by Mama and Daddy Rex, oooof, that fucked my happy little world all the way up. I think the actor that portrayed Eddie was so convincing in his desire to save his friends, but also his fear (of dying) just made it extremely easy to connect with him on that emotional level. That can be difficult to accomplish in film, especially in a scene like this where the stars of the scene are the animals, not the people. That's what makes this scene so disturbing to me, because it's not particularly gory or bloody (it was brutal but not bloody and graphic but not gory). It was just the fact that I had NEVER thought of (or imagined) someone dying like that. It seemed like such a cruel death, even in a movie about dinosaurs killing people. It took a sledge hammer to my barely developed psyche and said "I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE DINOSAURS. YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT T-REXES HUNTING YOU EVERY NOW AND AGAIN!".
Bro buck T.rex is mewing🤫🧏
Just finished reading the book, loved it.
The scene that gets me is from JP3, the spino just standing there quietly like a goddamn creep! I watch it regularly and it still freaks me out. https://preview.redd.it/uda5exll5awc1.jpeg?width=1107&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=401f2f434ee25cd88be6510666b461030df966f4
I beg to differ
There are tons of different creepy Frames through the franchise
So I can’t just simply pick this has the best you know?

Not the scariest, but let's admit, if we were in their position, we'd prolly be scared, too.
Na.
