"Nobody move a Muscle." The Stan Winston Studio crew took the animatronic male T-rex from The Lost World out of storage and refurbished it for the fight scene with the Spinosaurus in Jurassic Park III, which was as violent on stage as it appeared in the film.

But before the fight scene in the movie the survivors run into the feeding male T-rex and he roars at them. In this behind-the-scenes footage, you can see a T-rex rehearsal before that shot. #jurassicpark #stanwinstonstudio #trex #behindthescenes
