10 Best 'I’m Dead And I Know It’ Moments In Monster Movies

10. Robert Muldoon - Jurassic Park

In Jurassic Park, few people are quite as appreciative of the velociraptors and their capabilities as the park's game warden Robert Muldoon. And even with his death imminent, Muldoon can't help but admire the smarts and strategy of these stunning creatures.

Not only is Muldoon's demise one of the most memorable of the movie, but it's one of the most memorable deaths in cinema history. With his gun locked, loaded, and with a velociraptor in his sights, Muldoon carefully gets ready to take his shot. As the tension rises, the sweat pours, and the creature appears completely oblivious, the camera angle changes so that we see another velociraptor standing to Muldoon's left.

Fully aware that he'll be ripped to shreds imminently, Muldoon quips "Clever girl" as he acknowledges how he'd been played by these velociraptors. A great hunter and tracker himself, Bob Peck's character essentially gives his soon-to-be attacker one last nod of respect before he's swiftly killed off-screen.
