You can't compare Muldoon to Owen. Owen basically learned from Muldoon's mistake. The incident that happened in the first movie was famous by then everyone knew what happened. Muldoon also needed to separate from Ellie since they need the power on to call for help if they were caught at the generator room with three raptors there no one would be getting off that island. But I get where you guys are coming from.
For me, Muldoon was a badass. In the book he was hardcore. In the movie he was hardcore but the final version of the script killed him off in the stupidest way. He was smarter than that. He was a victim of poor writing. I love him. But that's just my opinion.
The problem is they had him messing with the shot gun to create suspense then taking his hat off for more suspense when the reality is he would have fired as soon as he had a kill or cripple shot amusingly this is what he does in the book blowing raptors apart all over the place
Alucard actually he does, it’s just the actor for Muldoon( bob peck) was diagnosed with cancer half way through the making of Jurassic park ( not sure which type) so he demanded that he was given a death scene because he accepted that he was eventually going to die. The reason he wanted that death scene is because he didn’t want the movie to recast another actor in a sequel, which would provoke confusion since he’d look different. Unfortunately he did die in 1999 so he could of come back for the lost world. So In short the reason that scene was poorly written is because it was last minute due to medical reasons
Muldoon wasn't a raptor expert to begin with. Just because Hammond says he was doesn't mean shit because Hammond bullshitted everybody about everything the whole time they were there. He was actually severely delusional because he actually believed the bullshit he was saying until shit hit the fan. Muldoon had a background in hunting predators before going to work for Hammond at Jurassic Park. He wasn't a dinosaur expert, let alone a raptor expert. Hammond hired him because he foolishly thought a badass predator hunter with a gun was enough to protect the place. Muldoon's only experience with Raptors was his experience with them at Jurassic Park. Dr. Grant was a PhD dinosaur expert who was obsessed with raptors and studied them for years. That's why he knew how they hunted. Muldoon also let Arnold go because he didn't know the raptor fences were disabled. It wasn't until Arnold was gone for a long time that he knew Arnold probably got eaten and he'd have to assist Ellie to get there safely. When he walked outside he was surprised to find out that the raptor fences were disabled. If Muldoon knew that stuff before Arnold left he probably would have offered to escort him there the first time.
Not to mention they are comparing him to Owen is completely unfair. Owen learned from the first park's mistakes. This was a whole new world. Muldune didnt imprint on the raptors, and they werent raised with humans. They were bred on Isla Sorna and transported to Nublar. They had to go through those lengths to keep themselves safe. It didnt get bad until the "Big One" showed up. Which was right before JP1 happened. She showed up, killed the gate keeper, and after that killed 5 other raptors. She then had the raptors attacking the fences, and the feeders. She was a blood thirsty rogue, and Muldune hadnt had much time with her. He (speculating) was trying to get Hammond's approval to put her down, but Hammond wouldnt consent to it.
Jackson Flowers I agree with some of what you said, except the part that he's not a raptor expert. Yes he doesn't have experience with dinosaurs until he was hired for Jurassic park but this isn't like his first day, Muldoon has been working for the company for years so technically he had plenty of time to study the raptors behavior. Also the reason he got outsmarted is because he was killed by a raptor rogue, he hadn't have enough time to study the behavior of that raptor as it's different from the others. Also to curt Edwards, Owen was lucky for the raptors to imprint on him, in one of the latest fallen kingdom trailers it showed camera footage of him playing with the raptors and accidentally gave the raptors an order and they listened. It wasn't that Jurassic world chose him to train the raptors, it was all coincidence.
Very true. But with due respect to Muldoon, could have used the trees for aerial view of the raptor location, since they cannot climb, he could have been safe buying himself enough time to be rescued.
@@AkshayKumar-zd4tk He didn’t know they can’t climb. And his raptors ran at least 10 mph faster than the JW raptor squad, which were deliberately redesigned to be more obedient (a tiny bit). So how on Earth was he meant to get up a tree with a SPAS-12 with no shoulder strap without them grabbing him first? Edit - Just rewatched the scene and his gun did have a shoulder strap on it, he just chose not to use it in the opening scene for some reason. I'm from the UK so I don't really know anything about guns. I'm sure he had a good reason for putting it down instead of using the strap.
How is muldoon an idiot? Or responsible for the death of the worker? He took every precaution he could. Also, the reason he didn't put locks on the car doors is because John would not let him.
Harry Balzak I saw this film back during 1993. What: twenty-three years isn't a long enough period of time to wait before labeling something a classic?
In the first park, raptors were never intended to be trained. Muldoon wasn't a trainer, he was a warden (definition: manage the wildlife, if it does something management doesn't like/kills people, kill it). He's not the head of security at Jurassic Park either. During the T-Rex rescue, smartest thing to do to hurry along the doughnut brained Ellie Sattler, who decides that finding another car is more important than not ending up as dogmeat (They had Malcolm patched up anyway; in the book it was muldoon who swiftly deducted that there had been survivors). Knows all the dangers of the park. Correct, he does. Jurassic park as a film accurately depicted the fact that management decided not to listen to people who actually knew what they were talking about, so he decided to let them learn the hard way (Reading the other books and seeing the other films shows clearly that Ingen has the mentality of "Managers in suits know best, everyone else is incompetent"). The book does the actual character of Muldoon more justice. A grumpy, middle aged bugger with a whiskey addiction wielding a rocket launcher and hurling abuse at Ingen's managers when they're being stupid.
Muldoon was right about killing them. Why? Because the Big One and her two friends have nothing in common with Blue and Blue's sisters. They were too agressive and dangerous, so InGen decided to move them to another, smaller paddock. Training them? Are you kidding me? xD Read about IBRIS project - InGen created another frmale, but she was so agressive they decided to kill her. Blue and team are much less agressive animals.
"I've been present for the birth.. of every little creature on this island!" -Hammond Would have been amusing to have him come face to face with one of the raptors he'd nuzzled as a hatchling, maybe some moment of confused recognition from it before it goes for him. Maybe if they ever do a darker version we'll see something like that, one can dream.
Don't know why you guys are harping on his socks so bad...maybe a british thing. I wish people dressed like that here in America. Guy looks like he's killed a thing or two...he was one of my favorite characters...
Malcolm knows a water trick. Harding brags about his gas-powered Jeep. Hammond carries a cane. Muldoon wears long socks. Grant *ties* two seat belts together. ...is it just me, or is this film full of pimps?
I love the perspective here. Its funny because he was always one of my favorite characters but when you put him like this... too funny. Also, pretty funny because in the book he's a bumbling alcoholic seething with hatred for these creatures but really, it was the socks. It was all the damn socks...
To make one defence of his behaviour, he appeared to me to be sacrificing his life to save Ellie. He knew full well the raptors were hunting them and that if they both ran to the shed, they’d be chased and killed. So he banked on the fact that smart pack hunters would ignore unfamiliar running prey to stay on someone they knew considerably better and he was right.
The point of the scene where he got eaten by the raptors was to show that even with everything he knew about raptors they still outsmarted him. Of course he knew how they hunted. That's why he wanted to kill the alpha female. He thought he was going to kill her and the others would then run scared. It's another metaphor for the main theme of the movie which is that no matter what we think we know we can't control everything. Even the smartest minds and most experienced hunters pale in comparison to the strength of these creatures. Also, in the book Muldoon was much more of a bad ass directly.
He knew nothing about their hunting behavior and thats exactly why he died in the movie, he never got a chance to observe them hunting, they were feeding them the same way how they would feed a lion. The point of his death is that you cannot control nature as despite these raptors being brought up in captivity they still had their hunting instincts. You can easily tell by the fact he was caught off guard, surprised but at the same time admiring her intelligence that he had zero knowledge about their hunting behavior. He found out the hard way.
@@bodoor8172 He never claimed to be in control of the raptors. He was always saying they needed to be destroyed. He was the game warden, and spent years working with the raptors. I'm sure he knew as much as someone could be expected to know.
Does no one realize that this is a hilarious critique of the movie producers and doesn’t threaten how badass Muldoon really is? 🤣 he’s my favorite character in the book too just calm down people
What i thoughht was pretty dumb about muldoon was that when he went to try and hunt the raptors, he only put one bullet in the gun so if he missed or didn’t kill the raptor the first shot, then he set himself up for death
This video highlights both the commendable and in-defensible acts of the character Muldoon, in an enjoyable way - I came across it by chance today (March 2020) - anyone who's ever heard of or watched and (hopefully) enjoyed Bob Peck's performance in the great ensemble piece that was 1985's 'Edge of Darkness' (BBC/UK) would probably applaud his ability to reflect the intensity of the character he played both in that, and as Muldoon in 'Jurassic Park' - I just wished they'd mad more use of him as Muldoon. Bob Peck died of cancer, aged just 53, in 1999, certainly much missed and 'remembered' by fans of his body of work.
The only thing that I think Muldoon did that didn't really make sense was the way he got killed, he had more experience with the Raptors than ANYBODY on earth at that point and he walked head first into a trap set by them.
Why compare Muldoon to Owen? Lol...Owen imprinted on the Raptors when they were born. Muldoon didn't; Muldoon's job is the "GAME WARDEN", not "Raptor trainer", etc. The trust level between Owen's connection with the raptors vs Muldoon's is like night and day.
why didn't they have the guy standing at the power supply ready to turn in back on before they turned it off in the first place? Give the raptors considerably less time to escape and hunt them down?
They'd never tested what would happen in the event of a full system reboot, so they didn't know the shutdown would trip the circuit breakers until it happened.
this was funny. i liked muldoon but i always thought letting arnold wander about by himself was a bad idea. muldoon knew it, too! lol i think muldoon was understandably reluctant to do anything. i wldnt have gone down to check on that car, either. fuck that. theres a damned trex out there and he had ... a shotgun? i also think he sacrificed himself to save Ellie. from the moment he saw the tracks, he had to assume they were probably being hunted. he had to to go into the trap because their destination was in the middle of raptor territory. "the trap" cld be anywhere. he cldnt exactly run out of it, neither one. he knew the raptors well enough to know that an attack was imminent. best solution was to draw the raptors off, tell Ellie to run like hell away to the breakers (and dont stop) and try to get within range to kill the one he could see, at least. muldoon knew that he was going to die, im sure. that's why he stayed in the building, like, "f this shit!" he wouldve died if he'd assisted arnold, too. trying to save him.
Finally, someone else who agrees it was a deliberate sacrifice. That’s why he was dripping with sweat. He knew something was wrong, that that raptor was too still. He knew he only had moments to live, that’s why he was so slow with that stock, to keep their attention on him. Easily one of the bravest characters in the whole franchise. (That being said, I never spotted that he slipped in the rain before and I’ll never unsee that! Lol)
The raptors were fed via machine because one of the raptors known as *the big one* had killed all but two of the pride in order to insert full dominance then began to instruct them to attack the feeding crew whenever they began to work there
The argument where you say that Owen hand feeds the raptors, it’s bullshit. The only reason he can is because the raptors he trained aren’t as vicious and violent as the original 3 raptors from Jurassic Park.
Owen handled the raptors differently to Robert and was present at their birth because Owen wanted a relationship with the raptors. Robert didn’t; hence “They should all be destroyed”!
It's amazing, everything you accused Muldoon of was Hammond's fault. Door was not thought out to work properly if a Raptor smashed into it, not muldoon's fault. At least Owen's generation has learnt how to properly care for dinosaurs. Jurassic Park's origins are very naiive on the humans' part and you don't seem to pick up on that. Could there be a more flawed criticism of a character?
Hey he is not an idiot. He is my favorite guy in the first movie. He jested got jump scared by the big one. “Clever girl” poor guy if he has or had a family how would they feel
He did. And they got the lowest wrongful death lawsuit payout, according to the less famous deleted Lost World scene. Although that one’s definitely not canon, since it talks about there being a clean up operation to kill the remaining dinosaurs on Nublar. There’s nothing in the other deleted scene, the Mombasan bar one, that contradicts the events of the rest of the film so that one can still be considered fully canon, imo.
They believed the Raptor fences were still on as soon as Arnold saw the damaged fences he should have returned and warned everyone hell grab an m16 or spas actually why didn't Ellie?
The raptors jw recived the imprinting from the guy who was their alpha for the rest of their lives. Hammond gave the imprinting to female raptor who killed every raptor except 2. Is quite different.
The entirety of Jurassic Park was a chaos waiting to explote, with or without Nedry. Controlling dinosaurs is not that difficult as controlling xenomorphs, they are animals, thread them as such, not as monsters and everything would be fine.
SPEAKING BRITISH: MuLdOoN's An IjJiT I know the video was just for fun, but a lot of Muldoon's "flaws" as they were pointed out here were how Hammond was managing things. Muldoon's job was literally Game Warden, not trainer/zoologist. The whole 1st generation version of the park was basically a dinosaur prison, and Muldoon's job was to keep them contained. For the security stuff, he clearly DID do his job (which wasn't even his responsibility) insisting there be locks on the vehicle doors, which Hammond obviously ignored (spared some expense). There are numerous examples in the novel of Hammond ignoring Muldoon's professional expertise because of his ego or wanting to cut costs. This video did get funnier after awhile...especially the socks bit...and it's funny to pick apart stuff from movies just for shits and giggles.
Muldoon wasn't bad at his job, these were creatures that had never before been seen/studied, and the first scene in Jurassic Park illustrates why Muldoon say's they should all be destroyed, which I personally feel extends beyond just talking about the raptors. Muldoon is on edge the whole time, he knew these were not tamable like pets, which for whatever reason these newer films seem to be all about. The entire premise of the first novel, and film to some extent was to show why dinosaurs wouldn't co exist well in present society, but Owen is good looking and the raptors sense that, and trust, and whatever the fuck else these stupid screenwriters/directors want to inject into these new films.
Maldoon should be saying “I’m very popular right now” while hiding in a pipe. Not “clever girl” before being pounced on. Either way, when you see a target it’s hard to pay attention to the ones attacking from the sides, plus they didn’t see them hunting, they saw them feeding and unlike in the movie, Alan wasn’t predictions guy and didn’t say “they attack from the sides” because looking at fossils doesn’t tell you how they behave… Simply put Maldoon is supposed to be an action movie hero And Alan Grant has magic prediction powers in the movie to despite the skeletal evidence, predict that a trexes vision is based on movement like a frog’s because of the DNA.
Owen can control the raptors because Jurassic world is one of the worst movies this franchise had ever seen at that point, surpassed in stupidity only by its two sequels. Muldoon is not an idiot. He didn’t design the mechanism for transferring the raptors into the pen, thus the workers death in the beginning is due to negligent, poor design. Keep in mind that by this point, Muldoon had (presumably) been successful in transferring the previous and subsequent raptors into the pen using the same method, but this time went wrong, because the design of the cage had an inherent flaw he couldn’t control, just waiting to be exploited. He didn’t put locks on the doors because Hammond clearly didn’t want him to (presumably as a cost cutting measure). If he had been allowed to, he wouldn’t be complaining to Hammond about how many times they should have put locks on the doors. He didn’t want to stick around the Tyrannosaur paddock because it’s a Tyrannosaur paddock and THERES A TYRANNOSAUR. Trying to leave before the thing showed up again seems pretty smart to me, especially since he was smart enough to know that they weren’t likely to find Grant or the kids by that point. He lets Arnold go off on his own because by this point, they weren’t even sure the Raptors were out, so he perceived no danger. We see in a later sequence as Ellie switches the power back on that the Raptor enclosure is separately powered, so Muldoon would have no reason to believe it’s power was out just because the building lights came off. And he runs toward the Raptors, further into the jungle to provide a distraction for Ellie. He knew he was at a high risk of death, which is why in his final moments, when the Raptors finally do outsmart him, he shows no fear. He only utters two words… “clever girl”. Muldoon is definitely not an idiot.
Um, he was a total badass in the book, and comparing him to "Owen" is ludicrous. Owen was frigging realistic as Tinkerbell in how he handled raptors. The only thing I found idiotic about Muldoon in the film was 1. he didn't live and 2. he didn't have his rifle stock locked before he went into the trees and 3. people thinking it's soooo easy to just make a big project work when you're dealing with a Nedry/Hammond. 4. Muldoon did know the raptors, but as a hunter. Not the same as what a paleontologist would *deduce*.
Thank you very much for this video, I truly thought I was alone in thinking about ALL THE FUCK UP'S HE MADE, at the end of the day DINOSAUR PLOT ARMOR WINS.
Muldoon intentionally set himself up as a distraction, no matter the outcome. He knew the chances, he was former PH from Africa, not q job to be taken lightly.
Luke and Yoda will be Riding Elise, as their a uncle and doner Elise too never had family her has little buddies. The same person did the music, they could ride her
I love how they call Muldoon an idiot but he actually was kind of a badass in the books and HE SURVIVED
yeah um..there was a scene showing his head lying on the ground but they cut it because of obvious reasons
Yeah he and the lawyer went to hunt rexy and bring it back to the exhibit

He's got a better presence in the movie, in his character. Even though he RPGs a raptor

Does no one realize that this is a hilarious critique of the movie producers and doesn’t threaten how badass Muldoon really is? 🤣 he’s my favorite character in the book too just calm down people
Muldoon was boss.
Funny as fuck but I like Muldoon he is a badass
What i thoughht was pretty dumb about muldoon was that when he went to try and hunt the raptors, he only put one bullet in the gun so if he missed or didn’t kill the raptor the first shot, then he set himself up for death
"You're shattering a lot of illusions here..."
This video highlights both the commendable and in-defensible acts of the character Muldoon, in an enjoyable way - I came across it by chance today (March 2020) - anyone who's ever heard of or watched and (hopefully) enjoyed Bob Peck's performance in the great ensemble piece that was 1985's 'Edge of Darkness' (BBC/UK) would probably applaud his ability to reflect the intensity of the character he played both in that, and as Muldoon in 'Jurassic Park' - I just wished they'd mad more use of him as Muldoon. Bob Peck died of cancer, aged just 53, in 1999, certainly much missed and 'remembered' by fans of his body of work.
Did you know he died of cancer in 99. He was a great actor.
The only thing that I think Muldoon did that didn't really make sense was the way he got killed, he had more experience with the Raptors than ANYBODY on earth at that point and he walked head first into a trap set by them.
Why compare Muldoon to Owen? Lol...Owen imprinted on the Raptors when they were born. Muldoon didn't; Muldoon's job is the "GAME WARDEN", not "Raptor trainer", etc. The trust level between Owen's connection with the raptors vs Muldoon's is like night and day.
He’s a better character then all the characters in the Jurassic World franchise. Just my opinion
why didn't they have the guy standing at the power supply ready to turn in back on before they turned it off in the first place? Give the raptors considerably less time to escape and hunt them down?
They'd never tested what would happen in the event of a full system reboot, so they didn't know the shutdown would trip the circuit breakers until it happened.
Come on he's my favorite character!
But not gonna lie the socks thing was funny
Haha, I like Muldoon but I was giggling like a kid whilst watching this
this was funny. i liked muldoon but i always thought letting arnold wander about by himself was a bad idea. muldoon knew it, too! lol i think muldoon was understandably reluctant to do anything. i wldnt have gone down to check on that car, either. fuck that. theres a damned trex out there and he had ... a shotgun?
i also think he sacrificed himself to save Ellie. from the moment he saw the tracks, he had to assume they were probably being hunted. he had to to go into the trap because their destination was in the middle of raptor territory. "the trap" cld be anywhere. he cldnt exactly run out of it, neither one. he knew the raptors well enough to know that an attack was imminent. best solution was to draw the raptors off, tell Ellie to run like hell away to the breakers (and dont stop) and try to get within range to kill the one he could see, at least. muldoon knew that he was going to die, im sure. that's why he stayed in the building, like, "f this shit!" he wouldve died if he'd assisted arnold, too. trying to save him.
Finally, someone else who agrees it was a deliberate sacrifice.
That’s why he was dripping with sweat. He knew something was wrong, that that raptor was too still. He knew he only had moments to live, that’s why he was so slow with that stock, to keep their attention on him.
Easily one of the bravest characters in the whole franchise. (That being said, I never spotted that he slipped in the rain before and I’ll never unsee that! Lol)
The raptors were fed via machine because one of the raptors known as *the big one* had killed all but two of the pride in order to insert full dominance then began to instruct them to attack the feeding crew whenever they began to work there
The argument where you say that Owen hand feeds the raptors, it’s bullshit. The only reason he can is because the raptors he trained aren’t as vicious and violent as the original 3 raptors from Jurassic Park.
Owen handled the raptors differently to Robert and was present at their birth because Owen wanted a relationship with the raptors. Robert didn’t; hence “They should all be destroyed”!
I wish you would make another video like this its so funny
It's amazing, everything you accused Muldoon of was Hammond's fault. Door was not thought out to work properly if a Raptor smashed into it, not muldoon's fault. At least Owen's generation has learnt how to properly care for dinosaurs. Jurassic Park's origins are very naiive on the humans' part and you don't seem to pick up on that. Could there be a more flawed criticism of a character?
I love Muldoon, but this is hilarious!
Hey he is not an idiot. He is my favorite guy in the first movie. He jested got jump scared by the big one. “Clever girl” poor guy if he has or had a family how would they feel
He did. And they got the lowest wrongful death lawsuit payout, according to the less famous deleted Lost World scene.
Although that one’s definitely not canon, since it talks about there being a clean up operation to kill the remaining dinosaurs on Nublar. There’s nothing in the other deleted scene, the Mombasan bar one, that contradicts the events of the rest of the film so that one can still be considered fully canon, imo.
Muldoon let Samuel Jackson die
They believed the Raptor fences were still on as soon as Arnold saw the damaged fences he should have returned and warned everyone hell grab an m16 or spas actually why didn't Ellie?
Lol i though you said "Muldoon let michael jackson die" xD sorry 😂😂😂😂✌✌
"You cant just stroll down the road, ya know?"
The raptors jw recived the imprinting from the guy who was their alpha for the rest of their lives.
Hammond gave the imprinting to female raptor who killed every raptor except 2.
Is quite different.
This is literally the first thing I woke up to. Thank you! Brilliant edit.
Same here :D
I think Muldoon overall came across as smart and was well played by Bob Peck. Much more plausible too.
The entirety of Jurassic Park was a chaos waiting to explote, with or without Nedry. Controlling dinosaurs is not that difficult as controlling xenomorphs, they are animals, thread them as such, not as monsters and everything would be fine.
Don't forget when Muldoon takes 20 minutes to unfold his gun and take off his hat instead of shooting the raptor right in front of him
Muldoon should of gone with arnold you know, for pertection
IGN UK representing!
R.I.P bob peck :c
SPEAKING BRITISH: MuLdOoN's An IjJiT
I know the video was just for fun, but a lot of Muldoon's "flaws" as they were pointed out here were how Hammond was managing things. Muldoon's job was literally Game Warden, not trainer/zoologist. The whole 1st generation version of the park was basically a dinosaur prison, and Muldoon's job was to keep them contained. For the security stuff, he clearly DID do his job (which wasn't even his responsibility) insisting there be locks on the vehicle doors, which Hammond obviously ignored (spared some expense). There are numerous examples in the novel of Hammond ignoring Muldoon's professional expertise because of his ego or wanting to cut costs. This video did get funnier after awhile...especially the socks bit...and it's funny to pick apart stuff from movies just for shits and giggles.
Muldoons my favorite character..but this is very funny..some truth here too
That's all because the raptors in the Jurassic World the Raptors minds are programmed while in Jurassic Park the raptors are created as they were
Muldoon wasn't bad at his job, these were creatures that had never before been seen/studied, and the first scene in Jurassic Park illustrates why Muldoon say's they should all be destroyed, which I personally feel extends beyond just talking about the raptors. Muldoon is on edge the whole time, he knew these were not tamable like pets, which for whatever reason these newer films seem to be all about. The entire premise of the first novel, and film to some extent was to show why dinosaurs wouldn't co exist well in present society, but Owen is good looking and the raptors sense that, and trust, and whatever the fuck else these stupid screenwriters/directors want to inject into these new films.
Muldoon death is my favorite in all jp movies and jp world movies
God this was so fucking funny. xD
Laughing my ass off throughout this.
+jurassiraptor Glad you liked it dude!
Ohh jeez, i almost thought that yt had no good content anymore.
He died in 1999
Lies slander that’s it I’m getting hammond to sue i will not stand for this
Maldoon should be saying “I’m very popular right now” while hiding in a pipe.
Not “clever girl” before being pounced on.
Either way, when you see a target it’s hard to pay attention to the ones attacking from the sides, plus they didn’t see them hunting, they saw them feeding and unlike in the movie, Alan wasn’t predictions guy and didn’t say “they attack from the sides” because looking at fossils doesn’t tell you how they behave…
Simply put
Maldoon is supposed to be an action movie hero
And Alan Grant has magic prediction powers in the movie to despite the skeletal evidence, predict that a trexes vision is based on movement like a frog’s because of the DNA.
How does he 'get a worker killed?'
He was awesome in the movie
Jurassic world is more modern than jurassic park.And owen is trained with the raptors a longtime and raptors in jurassic park are more agressive
Muldoon only loaded two shells in his Spas-12 cause that was all he needed
Muldoon was cool and if you think he’s a bad guy he saved Ellie sattlers life EDIT he sounds like my Aussie grandpa
You're kinda calling Michael Chricton an idiot just so everyone's clear.
Actually, they’re calling Spielberg an idiot, especially his spotlight fetish! Lol
jokes on you muldoon survives if you read the books and comics which is more cannon to the jp universe then the movies sense you know its original
Muldoon didn't Save Joffrey in Time I was like Damm RIP
This so much fun, buddy I agree I'm Ben's uncle and you are a doner of Ripper we have something in common
Give muldoon a break cant u see he already died in real life
Owen can control the raptors because Jurassic world is one of the worst movies this franchise had ever seen at that point, surpassed in stupidity only by its two sequels. Muldoon is not an idiot. He didn’t design the mechanism for transferring the raptors into the pen, thus the workers death in the beginning is due to negligent, poor design. Keep in mind that by this point, Muldoon had (presumably) been successful in transferring the previous and subsequent raptors into the pen using the same method, but this time went wrong, because the design of the cage had an inherent flaw he couldn’t control, just waiting to be exploited. He didn’t put locks on the doors because Hammond clearly didn’t want him to (presumably as a cost cutting measure). If he had been allowed to, he wouldn’t be complaining to Hammond about how many times they should have put locks on the doors. He didn’t want to stick around the Tyrannosaur paddock because it’s a Tyrannosaur paddock and THERES A TYRANNOSAUR. Trying to leave before the thing showed up again seems pretty smart to me, especially since he was smart enough to know that they weren’t likely to find Grant or the kids by that point. He lets Arnold go off on his own because by this point, they weren’t even sure the Raptors were out, so he perceived no danger. We see in a later sequence as Ellie switches the power back on that the Raptor enclosure is separately powered, so Muldoon would have no reason to believe it’s power was out just because the building lights came off. And he runs toward the Raptors, further into the jungle to provide a distraction for Ellie. He knew he was at a high risk of death, which is why in his final moments, when the Raptors finally do outsmart him, he shows no fear. He only utters two words… “clever girl”. Muldoon is definitely not an idiot.
Didn't know Captain Hindsight had a RUclips channel...
Muldoon just tripped cause the raptor was stronger he did not did this on purpose
I'm sure this buddy will see what a good Garud. Rancors are small, this this is so big
Luke was the best in the story, Elise was the cutest in hers, both have the thing where they are lonely
I really prefer him to grady lol. His character is macho wank
this is so funny. Love it.
He was a badass in the books
Um, he was a total badass in the book, and comparing him to "Owen" is ludicrous. Owen was frigging realistic as Tinkerbell in how he handled raptors. The only thing I found idiotic about Muldoon in the film was 1. he didn't live and 2. he didn't have his rifle stock locked before he went into the trees and 3. people thinking it's soooo easy to just make a big project work when you're dealing with a Nedry/Hammond. 4. Muldoon did know the raptors, but as a hunter. Not the same as what a paleontologist would *deduce*.
Thank you very much for this video, I truly thought I was alone in thinking about ALL THE FUCK UP'S HE MADE, at the end of the day DINOSAUR PLOT ARMOR WINS.
Sad Jurassic Podcast loves the name Elise
Muldoon intentionally set himself up as a distraction, no matter the outcome. He knew the chances, he was former PH from Africa, not q job to be taken lightly.
I'll stand out on this dinosaur
He is a awesome man
Luke and Yoda will be Riding Elise, as their a uncle and doner Elise too never had family her has little buddies. The same person did the music, they could ride her
You may not believe me, but I can save you dino
U Know that he's dead
