[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4711410, member: 57383"] Well even in [I]The Lost World[/I] the carnosaurs were pretty speedy. In the book, two [I]Stoa[/I] chased down some natives who'd disturbed them and squashed them too death, and another would probably have caught the fleeing Malone if he hadn't fallen into that pit-trap. I think both those humans would probably have had the Run feet: the natives lived on a plateau filled with huge maneaters, so they'd need to be good at running away; and Malone was a noted amateur rugby player, which would require him to cover ground quickly. As for the film, the carnosaurs were pretty speedy, albeit jerky in their movements, in the 1925 film. It's hard to tell, but I think they were faster than a man. In the 1960 version they were slower than a person, but they were also represented by a monitor lizard & caiman with plastic stuck to them, which is not a look I'm aiming for. The only [I]The Lost World[/I] film I remember seeing which had oldschool bipedal carnosaurs slower than humans was the 1992 one with John Rhys-Davies as Challenger. Why yes, I do watch a lot of dinosaur movies, how did you guess?:hmm: [/QUOTE]
