10 Movie Characters With Laughable Weaknesses

2. T-Rex Are Helpless If You Stand Still - Jurassic Park

Whilst this is almost certainly a case of being too focused on the little details of a film focusing on the resurrection of the dinosaurs, the very idea that a Tyrannosaurus Rex would not be able to make a light snack out of you if you simply stood still is something that still sounds utterly moronic. But in Jurassic Park, that is the exact piece of advice the visitors pass between each other in order to escape becoming dinodinner - who naturally all go along with it without question, because the dinosaur man said it. You don't need to be an expert on any form of dinosaur existence to know that this is pure conjecture, you simply need to look at the faces of the thunder lizards to know what they were capable of. The T-Rex had enormous, forward-facing eyes, possibly suggesting that it had stereoscopic vision, meaning that it could probably see so well that its vision was rob ably very good. But even if you look beyond the eyes, the thing had a nose the size of a small car, rendering eyes pointless anyway. As if acknowledging the idiocy, pretty much everyone other than Alan Grant ignores the rule not to move, and end up either eaten or badly hurt, which is exactly what would also happen if they'd frozen in front of a real life T-Rex.
