10 Movie Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

5. The T-Rex Isn't Chasing Claire - Jurassic World

Despite Jurassic World being a very, very dumb movie, the one small leap in logic that took the most flack post-release came from Claire managing to outrun a T-Rex while wearing heels. While somebody managing to escape the jaws of a dinosaur in heels does sort of make the creatures seem a little ineffectual, there is one detail everyone overlooked which explains everything.

Early in the movie it's established that flares are used to train the T-Rex and other dinos to eat on command, with the camp operators throwing them at other animals they can devour. They've managed to create an association so that the creatures will follow the flare with the expectation that food will be waiting for them on the other end.

Consequently then, when Claire cracks open a flare at the very end and starts to run away from the T-Rex, the reason she isn't instantly eaten is because the dinosaur isn't actually chasing her, but rather following her. It's been conditioned to understand that the flare equals food, so isn't necessarily trying to get her, but rather find something it can chow down on.
