7 Insane Things That Were Cut From Jurassic Park Movies
5. Pteranodons Versus Raptors
Pteranodons didn't manage to wing their way to the Jurassic Park series until the third instalment, but there were plans to introduce them earlier.
Scenes featuring the flying reptiles were written and drawn up for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, only to to end up going the way of the dinosaurs. One even involved them doing battle with a pack of Raptors.
During that sequence where Ludlow’s team are attacked by Velociraptors in the long grass, the script originally called for the survivors to hang-glide off a cliff to apparent safety, before a flock of Pteranodons set upon them.
One of The Lost World's alternative endings also made use of the winged terrors, having them attack a helicopter while it airlifted survivors from Isla Sorna.
Dino fans finally got to see Pteranodons versus chopper in 2015's Jurassic World. Spoiler alert! The helicopter didn't win.
