In the beginning when they show the Kid and the Mom's Boyfriend Para-sailing, what kills the people on the boat so quickly?
Every time you watch Jersey Shore, a book commits suicide.
I always assumed it was hit by a flying dinosaurs. The way it tugged on the rope was suggestive.
shareThe Pterasaurs from TLW were able to fly free because they weren't migratory. So unless the boat sped past their nest sites then it wasn't them. The mutant Pteranodons in JP3 were imprisoned because INGEN knew they were globe fliers/migratory and so could not be released. So it definitely wasn't them. The boat was travelling too fast for the Spinosaurus to catch. So it wasn't him/her.
The best explanation is the smaller Pterasaurs from TLW and the boat must have sped past their rock nests causing them to attack... Otherwise chalk it up to another plothole like the dead ship crew in TLW.
It was 4 juvenile T.rex's. They actually shot the sequence, and it looks awesome, but in the end, Spielberg felt it was too ferocious and left it on the editing room floor.
A few of the earlier printed laser discs of the film show it as a special feature.
No Spinosaur ! Even if it goes into water they were not built to go out to sea. And how would a Spinosaur been able to climb those cliffs to enter the water in the first place? It had to be flying reptiles!
shareI always assumed it was the flying reptiles. Previous posters disregarded this theory due to them being caged, but the cages were torn up. The reptiles were able to come and go as they pleased, but used the caged area as nesting grounds.
shareand there were fresh human remains in the nest with the baby Pteranodons.

Right.
shareWe really never find out what killed Ben either do we?
shareI always figured he was attacked by compies, then something more sizable came along causing Eric to flee.
shareinteresting theory, what makes you think that out of curiosity?
shareThe body was picked clean; a sizable dinosaur wouldn't be able to do that, but compies would. Compies alone wouldn't make Eric run off; he'd stay and battle the things - plus the victim's legs were bitten off. Raptors probably would've ripped the guy out of the tree (and chase Eric down), so it was probably a single predator (besides the compies).
