How the hell did Dr. Grant know how to play a velociraptor's throat-bone like a flute to make the other ones leave him alone?

I don't think he blew anything in particular. The raptors just got freaked out by the human that sounded like a raptor and left.

For that matter, why did he leave on the trip before finding out whether or not the check cleared?

Heh, I think it was just a matter figuring out what to do with it considering that air would have to pass through it to make a noise in the first place.

The seeming randomness of this question fills it with win. That was in JP, what, III? We call things like that a willing suspension of disbelief.

Also, the writers were probably desperate.

It was merely an effort to cash in on a ruined franchise like a pack of dogs eating on a horses corpse. But remember Billy said it was where the air passed through or something that made the sound? It was round the beginning of that bastardized 3rd movie. So think of it as fore shadowing.

oh they're not done yet, Rumor has it a script for a 4th one is out there... four words: Genetically mutated raptor soldiers.

That is true and with both Grant, Malcolm and who knows who else, maybe that lawyer that got eaten will make an appearance....Hey maybe he will be the first raptor soldier! But yeah I can only wonder.

What you call movies...I call the rape of entertainment media. Spared no expense of course. hehe

Because he had been studying the skeletons. They explained that in the beginning of the movie.

Because the movie was written by the same dumbass that wrote the script for the Eragon movie. What's a better question is how does this guy have work? He doesn't even have Nazi gold like Ewe Bole to bribe producers into letting him write!

No wonder Eragon sucked too. I never bothered to investigate the horrible truth. Maybe when he gets banned by Hollywood the souls of the damned can finally rest peacefully. By the way tell me he isn't making the second one if they do decide to make the second one.

Syrinoth ~syrinoth

Lurker

Yeah. Further reasons include a new director who was originaly a special effects director, new actors who learned how to act on the set (Not including Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, or Rachel Weiss), and an editing team with no experience. I think a college film student would have done better with access to ILM :P
With how hard the first one bombed, I highly doubt they'll be making a second one.

You learn things on a whim and survive fatal encounters if you're liked well enough.

A Raptor throat bone, how did he know about how it worked or sounded? What about the question of the boy collecting T-rex pee? That was never explained let alone the fact that it has never been extablished that there was any liquid waste from Dinos. There is some specualtion though at: http://www.geotimes.org/dec02/NN_dinowaste.html

...ahhh the "magic" of the movies!

Er, well for ages people thought dinosaurs were extinct reptiles (before it was established they were the ancestors of birds) and some types of reptiles pee actual pee rather than the semi solid pee of lizards and snakes. I've been peed on by painted turtles enough to know that they produce actual pee.

Any bird species that produce liquid pee rather than the gunk that most birds produce?

He was playing with it for a while before he figured out how to make noise with it, and then he just did his best to mimic the noises he'd heard them make during their encounters.

Didn't he show how to do it near the beginning of that movie or one of the others? I clearly remember some chunkazoid kid getting all high and mighty, then the doc freaked him out with one of the claws and the skull-flute. :3

Slate ~slate

That was the beginning of the first one, but it was just the claw, not the flute.

Oh, right, right. but didn't he also give a demonstration of the skull flute? or am I thinking completely different doctor in the third movie?

pkbitchgirl ~pkbitchgirl

He played with the skull flute in the third movie and it was the same doctor, Alan Grant. He wasn't in the second movie tho, the only returning character in that one was Mr Chaos Theory Ian Malcolm
