Though the Tyrannosaurus Rex played a big part in the original Jurassic Park movie, it was the Velociraptors that were the biggest threat to Alan Grant and co. on their trip to Isla Nublar. The pack hunters were the subject of Grant's terrifying lecture to the kid who didn't show them enough respect, and were just as fast and vicious as expected in real life.

The creatures took something of a back seat in the sequel, as the T-Rex itself became the biggest threat to those John Hammond and Peter Ludlow had sent to Isla Sorna, but they weren't left out completely.

While fleeing from the Rex after it attacked the camp in the middle of the night, the company fled in any way they could. Some, despite Ajay's pleas not to, ran into the long grass, out of the frying pan and into the fire.

In all the confusion of the Rex attack, everyone forgot about the threat posed by the raptors. This was one of the movie's best, and most terrifying scenes, as the Velociraptors hunted under the cover of the shoulder length grass, picking off several people before the rest even knew they were there.
