10 Almost Great Movies Derailed By A Single Embarrassing Moment

6. Gymnastic Velociraptor Kill - The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park Lost World There is a time and a place for depicting a young girl kicking a dinosaur in the face, and that's in some little girl's dreams. It is not something that we needed to genuinely see in a motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg, even if the guy is obsessed with putting kids in his movies and giving them awesome abilities, like, hacking and gymnasticing velociraptors to death. Say what you will about The Lost World, but this is where Spielberg derailed his movie. If you haven't seen the second Jurassic Park flick, you're probably confused right about now, but let me just say that there's a scene where Jeff Goldblum's daughter rescues him from a velociraptor by swinging on a pipe and kicking it so hard that it flies through a glass window. Up until then, this movie could have been great, but as soon as this embarrassing inclusion took place, I think we'd all resolved to never sit through it ever again. I mean, gymnastics! C'mon!
