    Good Lord.
    I once watched two of those giant-assed scary lizards in Iraq duke it out. I'm pretty sure those were real lizards in that video clip; scariest part of the whole thing was that the ones I saw in Iraq were about that size...

    @Smeagol92055: Of course those are real.. its a small doctored gator VS and larger doctored monitor lizard. Good pates on stuff though since none of it came off in the shots

    Im pretty sure one of the top ones is a dwarf Caiman.

    I remember this movie because once I saw it, I immediately glued some cardboard to my do to make it a Triceratops. Brianna was NOT amused.

    Okay, am I the only one freaked out that the filmmakers made these two animals fight pretty viciously to get their shots?

    @Aidan_: I keep going back and forth about whether those are real lizards... I guess they are. At first I thought they were but then it seemed like they were too choreographed, and weirdly fake looking. I guess they're well trained and the stuff stuck on them is the fake-looking part.

    @Aidan_: @vworp: @julie.ws: I went ahead and researched it a bit more, and tweaked my writeup to make it clear I don't condone mistreating poor lizards for the sake of a crappy dinosaur fight.

    Alright. If Irwin Allen is going to get some of the credit for Avatar then I demand some credit for Jurassic Park.

    Several of the scenes in JP were directly influenced by several of my bath-time, action figure plot lines, if not just blatantly lifted. Not to mention the nightmare T-Rex sequences I used to rant and rave about to my mother all the time. How else would they know to have a T-Rex stare into a bedroom window with your dog's house hanging from its mouth. Of course, had they fully adapted my ideas, the T-Rex would be able to talk AND see through walls.

    Give credit where credit is due.

    Did you see the Avatar clip earlier this day? Some blue thing was chasing the main guy, and the thing's roar was exactly the same roar used in Jurassic Park for the T-Rex.
    Not to mention the whole scene was influenced by the T-Rex scene, when he was chasing Ian, Ellie and Robert on the Jeep.

    But in all seriousness I love the movie and the characters (except the children).
    Really made an impact on me as a kid.

    In a strange way I prefer these hokey physical effects to CGI. At least you know that the creatures were "portrayed" by actual lizards dressed up with horns and fins and not just a wireframe on on some dude's computer. Of course Harryhausen's rubber puppets take the taco. He did some of the most imaginative effects work ever produced.

    @Bill-Lee: i agree.you do not have to go and remake/reboot stuff just to make CGI Effects,etc.
    older scifi has some great entertainment and good to watch as it was done so many years back.

    It's pretty sick that they just stuck bits of plastic onto lizards and caymans and made them fight to the death.
