10 Deleted Scenes That Explain Confusing Horror Movie Moments

6. The Lost World - Jurassic Park: Raptors On The Boat

Humans are eaten in this film. A T-Rex chases people through waterfalls. The entire sequence in the long grass. If you're telling me that The Lost World isn't horrific, then buddy, we need to chat.

The ending of the film, which sees a T-Rex running amok on the streets of San Diego is both ridiculous and extremely enjoyable. It was something that had been teased throughout the film - dinosaurs in the modern world - and, love it or hate it, it delivered. There is an issue however as presented in the film proper. A T-Rex is, in a word, huge. Therefore, how could it be nimble enough to leave a perfectly severed hand on the wheel, as shown in the film?

The answer comes from a deleted scene. The crew aboard the boat were killed by a pack of Velociraptors who had managed to get aboard before takeoff. They proceeded to slaughter the crew, while the T-Rex hung out rather harmlessly in the cargo hold. This scene was cut, but the aftermath of the carnage remains in the film.

Without the scene, the death of the crew makes little sense. Again, how did the T-Rex manage to get out of the hold, eat the crew and then get back into the hold, closing the doors behind it?
