 Doc Lecters Sig It eludes to something Ive noticed in many movies.  I know the audience is surprised, as we cant see the TREX. But WHY THE HELL do the characters act surprised? Clearly they would have notice & heard the massive dinosaur strolling into the building before it lunges at Raptor. So many films have flaws like this, it's sad. _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.

Re: Doc Lecters Sig Well, it's obviously a camera trick, but I do think there is some sort of psychological explanation as well, like you only notice the closest impending doom.
From the film POV, it's not like they knew the T-Rex would save their lives. They could have seen both, thought they were fucked either way, but by attacking one, it bought them a few minutes while eating it.

Re: Doc Lecters Sig It doesn't make much sense, true. Still my all-time favorite movie and an amazing scene.

Re: Doc Lecters Sig Nice scene.
It's also impossible to have dinosaurs roaming a planet in 1993, but you seemed to have accepted that.

Also, they don't act surprised. A raptor was just heading for their faces, they were shit-scared and trying to get out of the way. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

I can forgive them for not moving their heads for the viewers acknowldegement as they were just about to be raptor food. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Someone needs to check it out in 3D _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun. Chippy wrote: I want to live vicariously through you, Thegun!
