WHERE DID THE T-REX COME FROM?
A random movie appearance is defined as a character appearing on screen causing you to ask: Where did he/she/it come from? A random but ‘acceptable’ movie appearance is the same type of event but one you buy completely.
Picture this…
You’re being stalked by vicious Raptors. (They hunt in packs) You manage to outsmart them here and there and even kick one in the face but eventually you find yourself trapped regardless. (Clever girl…) They close in. You start to picture that horrific and intimidating claw ripping into your stomach as you’re eaten alive. All hope is lost… Until…
WHERE DID HE COME FROM?
Let’s assume for a second that there is some secret T-Rex doggy door that allowed him to enter the building. It’s not like he tip-toed into the place. I’m no expert but I don’t think Raptors and T-Rex engage in spirited rounds of hide and seek on a regular basis. Something that big couldn’t possibly sneak passed a bunch of Raptors and humans could it?
Obviously he didn’t crash through the ceiling. I can’t see him crawling through a smaller space either. Although having a T-Rex getting himself jammed in a small doorway would have been a great twist. Everyone dies and you see a close up of him saying:
“Sorry folks. I told them this door had to be bigger.”
If there was a door large enough, I like to think he was on a covert mission and having a lot of fun with it.
When I watch the film (which is one of my favorites) I can’t help but wonder what the T-Rex was thinking when he realized he actually pulled it off.
“Holy crap I can’t believe they haven’t spotted me yet! Tee hee hee”
But it leaves us all wondering just how did he get in there?
The thing is, the moment itself trumps the shady logic behind it. We don’t care that the T-Rex appears out of no where. We love watching him snatch that Raptor out of the air and launch him into a fossilized skeleton. So while the appearance may not have an explanation. I’m okay with it.
