13 Dumb Decisions In Jurassic Park Movies We Can't Forgive

7. Gymnastics Save The Day - The Lost World: Jurassic Park

The Lost World might still get lumped into the category as "bad Jurassic Park" from time to time, but there are genuinely exciting and tense moments in the film, and one of the best sequences in the film has to be the Velociraptors making their entrance.

The whole sequence plays out like sharks at the beach as they snack on the InGen mercenaries in "THE LONG GRASS!", and when Ian Malcolm and his gang enter, the stakes are raised for people we actually care about.

After sprinting through the long grass, the survivors enter an InGen base, only to be ambushed by the Raptors. Ian's daughter Kelly, who has been nothing but a burden through the whole film, finally proves her worth and the foreshadowing of her gymnastics is paid off.

Kelly performs a few impressive twirling moves before calling out to a Raptor about to devour her daddy and kicks it through a window. Now I know disposing of Raptors is a tricky thing to do without a T-Rex in the room, but to have an eleven year old girl have the strength to beat one of these things is just moronic.

Come on, Spielberg! You're better than this.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
