Hey guys! In this video I go over the Big One Velociraptor from Jurassic Park! In this episode of Dinosaur Profile we talk about the raptors from the first movie and their alpha. I go over a few of the movie scenes from 1993 and debunk some theories that have been made up about JP over the years. From the script, to the production notes of the film all the way to the finished product itself, today we talk about the evolution of our understanding of the Big One from the original Jurassic Park! Hope you all enjoy! :D

It's a Trap!
When klayton looks at the JP films you see he's figuring things out
Here’s my thoughts:
While I do think that the Big One was present during Muldoon’s death, I don’t think that it was the one that pounced on him because according to Grant, the raptors hunt by having one act as bait while the others attack from the sides; To me it makes more sense for leader to hang back and let their subordinates do most of the heavy lifting, therefore I think that the raptor that Muldoon aiming to shoot at was the Big One.
I also think that the Big One was present during the kitchen scene due to the one raptor snapped at its partner, as if it were trying to remind them who was in charge.
Same here. That's what I was thinking
Yup I do think so aswell
Problem, though. Grant's theory of raptor hunting makes little sense because a prey animal isn't going to stand and stare or stick around at all upon sighting a predator. No modern group-hunting animal has one member waltz around in plain sight as a distraction since the prey would simply leave while the others were moving into position. Now, many do have a hunting technique where one individual surprises and drives the prey towards the others, but until then that individual is still in hiding, not in plain sight.
GoGojiraGo Sorry for the late response. While you do make a good point, you also have to keep in mind that this is a fictional universe, meaning that it’s not 100% bound by the rules of the real world. Not to mention that the trap that the raptors set for Muldoon perfectly mirrored Grant’s description of how they hunt.
for me it doesn't make sense to make the leader the bait. If muldoon have pulled the trigger it would have left the pack without a leader. I feel like the leader should take a more safe position in the attack, also raptors in JP are shown to be inteligent and capable of analyze differents situations, and the big one already know how guns works because she have been shooted before in the movie.
Another argument i have is, you are assuming the big one to be a normal raptor, but she is shown in the movie to be a vicious one. She killed an employee of the park and even a bunch of other raptors, my guess is, she likes to do "the heavy lifting".
The Big One is such a clever girl. She's one of the most badass killers
Ok
I see you literally everywhere.
Was lol
When they say clever, do they mean evil girl?
Favourite Raptor/antagonist. I like Blue, but i'd prefer they make Raptors terrifying baddies again.
Facts
First off blue awesome yet she still young she got more human contact that makes her a triple thraght of raptors
Blue fan boy xD seriously though raptors should just turn into villains again blue is okay but its shit that you see them acting like dogs
I think blue will be a villain in camp cretaceous season 2 because the kids have no idea how to train him
IKR Jurassic park 3 ruined it all
The Big One is by far my most favorite raptor of the franchise. She's a boss among all raptors, including the Indoraptor. She single handedly killed 6 raptors, while the Indoraptor was struggling with one.
No raptor can stand a chance against her.
@Yeeyee Bubba
If there we're 8 raptors, and she only left 2 in her Carnage.
How many was killed? 6.
6+2=8.
Yeeyee is right. She killed 5 other Raptors, two were left alive and she was the last one remaining
I feel the same way! she's so cool.
Muldoon: We bred eight, _originally_ , but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. 8+1=9, 9-6=3 The Big One (I'm thinking he's the male) killed six.
It could even be like that, we don't know for sure if the Big One was in those eight or if it was bred in a different moment (I'm sorry for the grammar but I'm not english)
I'm pretty sure that the script is off with which one is the Big One, the one killing Muldoon makes a lot more sense in a thematic and storytelling sense, it also being the raptor to scar Rexy is a big thing there.
As for being Male, take note of Muldoon's comment about the raptors, he specifically doesn't say Pack, he directly describes the raptor behavior as a Pride. That variant of raptors having a pride based social structure also explains a lot about the slaughter of other Raptors. Namely that the nest Grant and the kids stumble across wasn't from the big one, but his predecessor as head of the pack.
Basically, the single male for the pride would be killed by the new challenger (the Big One), and the nesting females might have been massacred defending their nests rather than letting the new male wipe out the children of his rival. The two survivors may have been a younger iteration that just hadn't bred yet at that point, and one of the nests slipped past the Big One during the chaos of rounding them up for transfer to the holding pen.
Hell, the messed up social structure and behaviours from the gap filling might have been the same kind of thing that created the mess as well, and the nest guarding behaviors seem strangely a lot like crocodiles. That might also explain the gender thing for that species of raptor as well because unlike Wu's belief, Crocodilians don't gender differentiate from genetics, they do it from the temperature in the egg during incubation...and Wu doesn't bother to double check gender of the dinosaurs at that point if you consider his response to Malcom's "Checking under the dinosaurs skirts" quip. It also works with the movie in the view that no one really understands exactly what caused the situation, the chaos effect bit explaining a lot more.
Great analysis.
@@MechaKnuckles It can also explain the messed up pack situation in the Lost World, it's a group of younger males as a group. They aren't part of the breeding prides, stuck working together, and constantly jockeying and fighting for position in the group. The best of the group might go attempt to take over one of the normal prides, meaning that they need each other, but can't let any of the others get to strong or they'd leave and get something all of them want for themselves, so they squabble and clash a lot more.
@@AzraelThanatos Along with that, the odd behavior is somewhat explained by the fact that they are clones and don't have much of an example to learn from.
@@MechaKnuckles True, but some major chunks of behavior would be instinctive there.
@@AzraelThanatos Yes.
In the scene when muldoon got ambushed, I believe the one staring at him being mauled while the snake goes by is the big one, same with the raptor that left the scars on the trex
Quite possibly my favorite fictional villain of all time in books and film, right next to Heath Ledger’s Joker. The Big One terrified me as a kid and still fills me with dread as an adult. And it’s really all thanks to two people, Michael Crichton who created the character and Stan Winston who brought it to life on the big screen. Rest In Peace Crichton and Winston.
I love the Big One from the first Jurassic Park movie as the main antagonist and she’s terrifying as Sharptooth from the First Land Before Time Movie.
These movies were my childhood. Because of them I have a very flexible spine. (I started to walk and run like them.)
Made my life. XD
haha Chompers mom?
Serena Geiler, awesome buddy.
Awww, sharptooth!
In my opinion the big one is the raptor that kills Muldoon and then calls the other raptor into the kitchen after opening the door and then snapping at it the moment it stands taller than her.
This subordinate gets locked in the freezer so the big one follows Grant and co into the control room and again tries to open the door before following them to the visitor centre where it is met by the raptor that killed Arnold from outside. The T Rex kills this raptor before the big one pounces and gives Rexy her famous scars, before being killed herself.
Hi. I always thought the same thing while watching the movie. So I agree with you :) Thanks for sharing.
Da M I’d like to hear other people’s thoughts as well it is interesting
It must be. Because the way the raptor looked at him right befeore attacking.
Brad Morales I agree
@@bradmorales4002 Yes, I agree too
I personally like to think the Big One is the same Raptor that killed Muldoon and jumped on Rexy's back at the end of the movie.
I just assumed Everyone agreed with that honestly. I didn't know there was still doubt and debate on which one she was.
When you said "the raptor that killed Geoffrey" I couldn't help but imagine the Big One tearing up Joffrey from Game of Thrones, because of ths simalirties in the names. My god, what a satisifying image that is.
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie can't you see? See how you're raptor claws just terrify me!
Sorry.
Klayton i love your videos I watch them as soon as I see them on my notifications and I'm glad someone else loves Jurassic park as much as I do! Keep up the good work!
Big one being the one that killed Muldoon: great because of the relationship between the two.
Big one being the shed captive: great because he/she re enters the situation just in time to almost make the final kill, but ends up being the surprise kill in the twist T Rex entrance.
I like the second one better because it adds such a great element of hero and villain dynamic to the Rex and the Big One.
The raptors were very much the main villain of the third act, and the most notorious of them being Big One. So her death by surprise Rexy appearance really amplifies that feeling of heroism that developed afterwards for the tyrannosaurus in later films.
This creature is the reason I obsess over these prehistoric animals. The animosity and intellegence may be pure Hollywood fiction, but we cannot deny they are one reason this fandom and community is so vast.
The big one is primative sometimes but she's still more dangerous but more intelligent then appearance. I love how they try to present the Raptors from the book. It's still scary to this day...
The first raptor that taught us how true fear felt.
No other raptor surpassed her afterwards (for me).
Alexandre Ollé I quite like blue, but it’s not the same when she feels like a trained dog. It takes away the feeling of making the audience think that even the main characters could die.
@@coleb4898 Blue is cool ! But the Big One was not a trained dog that is precisely what I liked about her. A true dinosaur, wild, smart and independant. The leading female raptor in JP3 was quite impressive as well. In the end, those three raptors depicted three interesting versions of what this animal could have been. And when it comes to instigate fear, I go with the Big One without hesitation :)
Alexandre Ollé That is exactly what I like about the big one. I like that she acts like a wild animal, but most importantly, she’s unpredictable. Not only did she kill Muldoon, who I thought would have survived when I first seen this movie, but had her subordinate wait to bait Muldoon just to come from the side and kill him. It was what made her far more dangerous than the other raptors. I also heard that subject v2 from Jurassic world was like her, but had to be put down due to the aggressive nature it possessed.
I clicked as soon as the notification came on
I always thought the Big One was the Raptor that watched Muldoon being killed.
I think The Big One was the raptor staring at Muldoon from afar as one of the others killed him. You’d think she was the one killing him but the way they put attention to the raptor while hearing him scream in the background just put chills all over me and something about it made me feel like that raptor enjoyed watching him die rather than doing the hard work itself. Just like any other thing would do with a hard grudge.
i honestly really love your channel! i always learn new things about my favourite franchise, keep up the great work!
Raptors- the Hyenas of the Mesozoic.
One way or another, male or female this raptor was the only true raptor we've seen since in my eyes. It embodies all that raw primal fear.
As for the big one. I had to stop and think about it, and I'm all colors of confused now.
That... is almost an unanswerable question.
Jack Mills lol. Fair.
But I was referring to the apparent matriarch manner their tribe runs on like hyenas do today.
I thought the eagles and hawks
I wish the raptors were still scary in the movies instead of just pets.
I'm saying, blue the dog takes the fear out of the raptors
Agreed. OG Raptors were the best.
Even the dialogue describing them is brilliant.

The ones is jurrasic world were not pets...they just trusted Owen and it was shown he was the one to really be able to control them as they did go after other workers.
@@itsmxtwist velociraptors are monsters in the movies and the videogames
Now that's one Big chicken we got here
Robert the Dude More like a 6 foot turkey
@@TheGodOfGravy A turkey? Okay...
Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this 6 foot turkey as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly bobbing his head, and you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T.rex, and he'll lose you if you don't move, but no...not velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side *Swoosh* from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because velociraptor is a pack hunter, you see, he uses co-ordinated attack patterns, and he is out in force today...
And he slashes at you with this, a six inch retractable claw, like a razor on the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, you see, no, no...he slashes at you here, or here! Or...maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is...you are alive when they start to eat you...So you know, try to show a little respect? - Alan Grant
It's Andoi *shits pants* - Kid
@@JurassicGiant Last I've read, there's no direct evidence to suggest that Velociraptor, or any other Dromaeosaur, was a pack hunter. Also, studies suggest that the killer claw wasn't really used to slashing and gutting their prey as much as a way to hang on to their prey and deliver a fatal bite.
@@Riceball01 i know, i know. Just quoting the movie
It's nice to know there is someone who loves jp as much as me I watch all six religiously lol love this channel fr
A VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE RAPTOR!!! you're the best, Klayton!
I think even David Koepp didn't expect the Big One to be so iconic
I always assumed the Big One was the raptor that entered the kitchen first. The way it calls out for backup makes it feel like a leader to me, and the way it immediately snaps at the other raptor shows her aggressive and unpredictable behavior.
When I was a kid, I used to be able to make the sound of the Raptor screaming, perfectly. Then puberty kicked in😩. Thanks for the videos, and keep them coming!
I've been a huge fan of Jurassic Park since forever, and I thought there weren't other people sharing my obssession. Finding this channel is amazing.
I know everyone wants to think it's the one who killed Muldoon, but I think she's the one who Robert initially had his eyes on. The one who looked on proudly as her packmate made the kill
I love the big one. It's my 3rd favourite dinosaur in the Jurassic franchise after Rexy and Blue. She's just so aggressive, i would argue even more aggressive than the Indominus or Indoraptor.
For me, the big one will always be the one that killed Muldoon and attacked Rexy. Obviously i have no evidence that would show i'm right, but with the muldoon scene you could at least argue that he deliberately said "clever girl" before he was killed, because he knew it was the big one, since he mentioned that this creature is the most intelligente one of the pack.
But that's up to your imagination really.
@dinoxpertz 131 no u can't cuz u can't see him
I have a theory that the BIG ONE is actually the raptor that sat in the open during the scene when Muldoon is loading his weapon.
I believe that the raptor may have used Muldons knowledge against him. Out of all the keepers in Jurassic Park Muldoon is the Raptors biggest threat.
So he deliberately sat out in the open sending the one of the subordinates to attack Muldoon while his guard is down.
When Muldoon utters the famous words. “Clever girl” he’s words aren’t aimed at the raptor that attacks him.
Muldoon realised that the big one knew he would hunt him first since he’s the leader of the pack.
One last reason. While Muldoon is beging eaten the raptor hiding in the bushes remains motionless and watched him sufffer. As if he was relishing the scene.
Same. That's what I thought
Which is why he said, “I’ve got her.” And was preparing to shoot the Big One before her subordinate killed him while that monster watched.
A leader of the pack that’s described as aggressive and extremely intelligent wouldn’t sit around as bait and risk being shot. In any situation you don’t use your king/queen as a decoy or pawn. The big one was more than likely the one that actually killed Muldoon
That’s what I thought as well. It just sits there and watches Muldoon be torn apart by the other raptor. Almost like it enjoyed watching him suffer.
I fell asleep while i was watching one of your videos and woke up to a Dino roar. It scared the living hell out of me
Great video. I hope eventually there will be a clue as to which is "The Big One."
I always thought it was the one, getting the close up camera view in the kitchen, right before it starts to hunt tim. Had something like an evil smile to it.
Love the video man. Keep the book stuff coming
Klayton dude, you know, I designed The Big One the Velociraptor in my own game, UltRaptorSim2, by going to level 5 and getting its brown skin with green eye that resembles it. I did the Blue the Velociraptor too. I did a size comparison with a Protoceratops there, he was about the size of a cheetah in game
One thing to remember is that the Big One was likely the raptor in the transport container at the beginning of the film, and the way she and Muldoon locked eye contact while he was yelling "Shoot her!" would be a pro for the argument of her being the one who kills Muldoon. Also the way she reveals herself to him, deliberately letting him see and react to her before she attacks, a bit of revenge for him ordering her to be harmed.
And as others have stated, the Big One being the raptor that attacked Roberta at the end makes sense, seeing as her very aggressive personality and fearlessness would drive her to challenge and assault even an opponent as large as a Tyrannosaurus rex especially after having her subordinate killed in front of her.
"She was lethal at eight months, and I do mean *LETHAL!"*

Storm Commando I only said 'she' because this is about the Big One.
@@velociraptor4you3291 oh my bad
Storm Commando It's cool. 😉
She makes 90s kids a nightmare terrifying. I realised the original raptors were one of most the scariest than other movies the raptors. I remember watching this as a kid and I can't remember how scared I was, but until after I watched this video it scared me as an adult.
I watched this on a train journey using my phone with earphones.The shriek at the start of the video scared the crap out of me.Got some funny looks from the passengers opposite me.:)
Literally stop watching an older Klayton video and clicked on this one as soon as I got the notification :)
I think the big one was the one that attacked rexy and gave her scars. Since the big one was always the most aggressive and bold enough to take on a T. rex by herself.
"Disclaimer" I don't mean to sewer.
I FUCKING LOVE YOUR PROFESSIONALISM SUB 4 LIFE !!!!
Your videos are so immaculately well structured every time I watch one of your videos, I fell like I'm talking to a college professor on paleontology thank you very much sir.
It's frustrating for me to pinpoint which one's the Big One too, but I've always considered the raptor that attacks Rexy and gives her those neck scars during the climax to be the Big One.
If only we got more detail in the first movie.
Excellent video! Thanks for awesome JP content.
Love the channel, watch it regularly! Keep up the good work!
In regards to the mention of the raptors breeding, my opinion is the big one killed ‘almost all of the others’, with one or more escaping to lay those eggs, which Grant and the kids stumbled upon. (Muldoon and the others only assuming that the big one killed the other six)
The gestation period to incubate the eggs, coupled with the fact that the velociraptors probably protect and incubate their eggs (as in Jurassic park 3), is a pretty compelling case for this as the other raptors couldn’t have gotten out and away from their enclosure without being noticed.
I always thought it was part of the novel that went to the big screen, but just like the sick triceratops, fell short on explanations.
Get Klayton to 1 million subscribers!!!
I mean NOW!!!!!
In my opinion, the two that got Muldoon went into the kitchen (tracking the kids).
The one that arrived late to the show (surprising the group as they emerge from the vent) is the one Ellie shut in the maintenance shed.
Muldoon’s exclamation: “I’ve got her!” suggests he thought he was tracking the Big One. The “Clever Girl” remark wasn’t so much praise for the one that surprised him, but his acknowledgment that they had coordinated the attack - with him apportioning greater agency to the one that lured him into position (perhaps with the Big One aware enough to know that he would make the effort for her but perhaps not for either of the other two).
Keep up the great work! And congrats on your success of your page.
Jeez! Klayton don’t open with that! We have earphones ya know!😡😡😡)
(Just kidding you do what intros you want!😄)
Same
So many new facts I haven't heard of!
I thought it was the one staring at Muldoon during his death (because of what he said in The Big One's introduction).
I also think it's the one who follows Tim into the freezer (Randy) because it showed the same behaviour towards Kim as Blue to Charlie (snapping at her).
And I really didn't know that the names 'Randy' and 'Kim' are from the animators!!
Thank you for the information!
I watched JP a few days ago and I decided to watch all of the movies one by one again. I plan to watch TLW in a few minutes! ;)
"I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death."-roland tembo, the lost world
I always thought the big one was the one that killed muldoon. We'll probably find out more information in the new game that's coming out.
I honestly like how there is no certain way to tell who the big one is. It makes Her/He all that more terrifying. Atleast from my perspective.
For the longest time always thought that the last raptor that scratched up Rexy's neck was the big one.
I think that we can ser her in this scenes.
1.-she is the second raptor in the kitchen scene the one that is more dominant at the other.
2.the raptor that kill Robert muldon
3.the last raptor that die by rexy
4.the raptor that see tim and lex scape in the kitchen ( not the one locked in the fridge)
5.the raptor that apear under the blánket in the last scene
I have to say that, based on the kitchen scene and the scene with Rexy, the Big One was (a) the dinosaur that bit at the other one when they entered the kitchen, and (b) the last dino to jump on Rexy's back. I am going off of my experience with animals and the way they behave. For dogs specifically, if it's two males, the one that humps the other one is the dominant one (true fact). I'm taking that factual info and applying it to the movie. If you notice in the night with Rexy, and what Muldoon said earlier that "she had them attacking the fences, but Not In The Same Places. They were Probing for weaknesses", the Big One saw what happened to the other one and didn't try the same tactic, but instead saw that Rexy's weakness was her back, and she attacked there. Also, Klayton, going off what I just said and what you mentioned, go back and re watch the scene where Muldoon dies. Based on behavior and body movement, I think the Big One was the one who kept Muldoon's attention. I think that's the same strategy she used against Alan and the others. Let the subordinate do it initial attack, and help out if any try and escape.
Blue: am the best raptor!
The Big One: Hold my beer.....
The big one doesient drank
@@phantomghost3886 Wot?
The Big One has no beer
@@phantomghost3886 It's a joke
I always thought it was the one who stalked and killed Muldoon, which would also make her the one who tried to kill Lex and learned to open doors. Muldoon even says at the start you can see her learning.
They remember...
I always thought that the raptor that jumped on rexy at the end on JP1 was the big one, as she left scars on the side of rexy's head as you can see in Jurassic world.
I distinctly remember reading somewhere that rexys scars were caused by the big one.
The Clever Girl herself
I reject your reality, Klayton! I personally like to believe that the Big One killed the worker, then Arnold in the shed, killed Muldoon, and was one of the raptors that stalked Tim and Lex, and that it finally died fighting Rexy. That's way more cinematic!
Now seriously, thank you for another excellent video!
Most badass raptor in the Jurassic Park/World Series. Kills all of the raptors in the pen, save for two. Targets people specifically. Shows sadistic characteristics and was ballsy enough to attack the T-Rex after seeing her last subordinate killed.
personally, i'm convinced that the Big One is the raptor that's menacing the characters for most of the climax, the one from the kitchen that didn't get locked in the freezer, which also means that it's the last one killed in the film, and was also the raptor that killed Jophrey and Muldoon. it all just makes much more thematic sense that this raptor who stops to see the fear in people's eyes several times throughout the film is the leader, and it's fitting that it's the last one to die in the film AND which gave Rexy her now-iconic scars.
The last one that the Queen killed, was likely the Big One. Same as the one who followed the protagonists through the compound. Her being thrown into a skeleton, was a coup de gras, so to speak. :)
I thought she was one in the kitchen. When Lex and Tim run out after locking one in the freezer; the other doesn't attack. It just watches them with the expression that 'she's working things out'. I think that one's the 'Big One'
Personally I feel she's the first raptor to enter the kitchen scene due to the submission show by the raptor she calls to aid her. That also places her as the final raptor to fight sexy and leave the iconic scars : )
I always thought the Big One was Clever Girl
She is that's what makes that saying Iconic to me.
I still say that The Big One is the scariest antagonist in the franchise. The idea of an animal being this smart is terrifying. It reminds me of the Dr. Wu quote: “To a canary, a cat is a monster. We’re just used to being the cat.” It’s simply just another animal and yet it’s problem-solving smart and so naturally overly aggressive and devious.
I believe that the big one was the bait when Muldoon was hunting for the raptors, also I believe the raptor at the start was not the big one and most likely died, even though it would be cool if it were the big one.
The JP1 Raptors are the scariest movie monsters ever created hands down, RIP Stan Winston
Great video I'm curious what other dinosaur profiles you'll be doing 🙂👍
I think the script is the most reliable source because the writers have a duty to make things flow and have the big picture in mind. Also can make sense that the Big One would be independent having the other 2 keep watch outside of the power shed. While the other 2 then go to the visitors center Ellie has the chance to leave the power shed safely and meet up with the others. The big one then escapes and makes its way to the visitor center while the third raptor is attacking them in the control room. Then Ellie, Grant, and the kids come face to face with the Big One in the lobby while the other makes its way around. After that point I lose track since it's been a while since I last watched the movie.
Hey Klayton :)
I think the Big One is the raptor who kills Muldoon, because of their "relationship" and her way of thinking (solve problems, with Muldoon being...a problem!). Also, she is able to stalk Lex and Tim in the building to the kitchen, and when the 2nd raptor enters, she's dominating him by her size and her small bite to the neck. In my opinion, the Big One is not the raptor being eaten first by the T-Rex, but the one who jumps on it and who's responsible for its scars later in the franchise. Due to the structure of the building, the eaten raptor was coming from outside, but the Big One was chasing the survivors from the inside, from the other side of the buidlings entrance. This point means the Big One is also the last enemy to die: as a scenaristic way of thinking, the bad boy in a movie always die during a climax isn't it ? :) Thanks a lot for your videos ! Absolutely love them all !
I don't think so.
For me the "BO" is the raptor who's playing bait.
She looks like a general who commanding his soldiers.
I think the big one was in the shed, appeared later in the kitchen, chased Grant and the others, and was the final one to be killed by Rexy. The one that killed Muldoon was probably not "The Big One".
So, I thought about this some last year but I've kind of gotten conflicted. However, I believe there are a few ways to tell who the big one is and you don't really get the clues to find out until the Kitchen.
The most noticeable part on screen of a Raptor hierarchy is during the kitchen scene where a Raptor nips at another raptor and it submits. This raptor that does the provoking is my best guess of being the Big One, and if you follow where THIS raptor goes, you can figure out which raptor is the Big One during the deaths of the velociraptors.
Also, keep in mind that the velociraptor that nipped at the other one is also the one that we first see opening doors. Granted, the one that killed Arnold also had to open a door to get to the visitors center, but we are shown this raptor being the first to display the ability and opening the kitchen door AND the control room door.
So, the Big One and her subordinate are inside the kitchen and her subordinate gets locked in the freezer. The kids escape and find Alan and Ellie and go to the control room. The Big One follows. The scene of the velociraptor pursuing the humans shows the velociraptor "working things out" as Muldoon says in the film at the feeding scene.
This part is important! It realizes the door isn't working so it'll just burst through the glass. Then it's trying to think of a way to reach them above her. Keep in mind how analytical this velociraptor is, how it knows to test weaknesses of the fence. She hurls through the vents and nearly grabs Lex, then continues to pursue them.
After some skeleton shenanigans, the group is cornered. The other raptor comes in from the opening in the building and locks eyes with Ellie, giving us a clear indication that this is the same raptor as before.
Now, this is where the raptors start dying. The first raptor grabbed is the one that was with Ellie and Arnold as it was on their left side and closest to the tarp. So that leaves us with the last raptor standing. My belief is the iconic raptor/rex fight happened with The Big One herself. This same raptor that died last happens to be the same raptor that nipped at her subordinate and chased the group through the center.
One thing I don't know is which Raptor killed Muldoon but I do feel like they intended for that to be the Big One for thematic reasons.
anyway that's my belief on the big one! definitely one of the greatest characters
I think the big one was the one who opened the kitchen door and looked inside the kitchen because Mulroney said when you looked at the big one you could tell it was working things out and that’s what that raptor did.
Thanks for the video!!
That is one badass villain 🦹♀️
😎
I think the one who killed Muldoon, the initial one Lex sees when she’s eating Jello, the one that rams her head in the cabinets, the one who smiles as Lex and Tim are escaping only to be followed by her to the computer room is the big one. (Incidentally, right before Echo is killed, when she’s looking at Owen, she has that same smile the big one had when she watched the kids escape.) I think the big one had one of the smaller ones to go after Arnold and waited for the others to come out to find him and then she tracked Muldoon and Ellie. I always figured since she seemed to be the most aggressive, she was the big one.
The Big One and the tiger stripe raptors from the sequel were my favorite. The next Jurassic world movie needs to make the raptors terrifying again
Ever heard about the leader of wolf packs always at the back of the line? Perhaps the big one was the one using herself as bait for Muldoon, while her pack mate flanked him. You can see her cool calculated look as Muldoon is torn apart, not to mention she doesn't flinch through the scene.
I believe that The Big One is the second Raptor in the kitchen who knocked her head against the door trying to get to Lex. The one who chased them into the control room and gave Rexy her infamous scars.
Also the big one is the fridge raptor. Please respond if you think differently.
Also I'd say that there is a completely plausible means of narrowing down which Raptor is "The Big One." Because this animal shares something in-common with Blue...it has a Personality.
Literally speaking, why is it that when the raptor that ambushes Muldoon chooses to reveal itself first and snarl at him - in real life, an animal pouncing on its prey would immediately go for the kill...But this raptor chose to stop and reveal itself to Muldoon, and the simple fact is, it's snarl is more akin to a sinister grin. THIS is the animal expressing its animosity toward Muldoon and it's desire to have outfoxed and overcome him - the Alpha Ape as the comics would describe.This was a plot point that was built-up in the movie since the first scene, from the moment the Big One attacks Geoffery and Muldoon tries to pull him from its grip; the two of them lock-eyes with each other, cementing their hatred for one another.
The Big One, emerging from the foliage for that brief moment so that Muldoon knew for SURE what - and who - it is that hit him, was the animal's way of proclaiming its victory over him.
The animal does literally the same thing to Grant later on during the climax at the control room. Effectively speaking, the animal could've immediately grabbed the handle and tried to push the door open while Grant was unawares - probably would've surprised Grant, knocked him back and given it access to the control room where they'd be at its mercy. But instead, it's driven with such an overwhelming desire to kill them all...that it taunts them about it.
It chooses to be seen at the window in the door, staring through DIRECTLY at Grant, "smiling" the same way it did to Muldoon, before snorting its breath on the window. It was the animal's means of saying, "You think you're safe in there?" before slowly going down to the knob. I honestly think the animal WANTS the challenge of having to overcome them in order to prove its superiority.
But the thing that proves to me that THIS animal was indeed "The Big One," was what happens after Lex tricks it into ramming headfirst into a reflective panel. After it recovers, it could've easily sprang on Lex and Tim easily running them down - Tim has a limp after all. But instead, as it gets up...it just watches them leave. The camera then zooms in on the animals face as its eyes narrow into a scowl and it sneers at the two children as they flee; THAT right there...is Malicious Intent; this animal KNOWS that it's been slighted, that the children outwitted it and killed its pack-mate...so now, it's going to do everything it can to ENJOY killing them.
I honestly think that the Koepp script that says "The Biggest of the Raptors" isn't meant to be an "individual" description...See, it's like how Grant in the novel uses the term "Raptor" as a blanket statement for the genus of creatures rather than individual species. And at that time "Velociraptor Antirrupus" (Deinonychus) was the largest variety of the Raptor family found in the world; the Utah Raptor wouldn't be found until a few years later, and the Megaraptor was a few years after that. That's probably why Crichton chose Deinonychus in the first place.
Truth be told, when it came to the "Randy and Kim" theory, I stuck to those names because of the simplicity's sake...but somewhere along the lines, I took to calling the female that accompanied the Big One in the Kitchen (gets locked in the Freezer) as "Amy" for some reason...
I think the Big One is the raptor who first enters the kitchen to look for Lex and Tim. It calls the other raptor to come assist it and it snaps at the other raptor for having its head raised higher as it enters, which is a fairly obvious dominance display.
Clever Girl" one of my favorite lines
yay a good short intro!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we just call the subordinates “Randy” and “Kim” just for fun, it’s kind of hilarious.
the one that dispatched mal, I think. using one of her subordinates to distract while she actually made the kill
Then why zoom in on the eye slowly blinking. She also had a snake cross near her face (intentional to compare how evil she is).
I love the idea of the raptors being called Randy and Kim. They sound like sitcom leads
I loved that soundtrack, they used it for the life of the Spinosaurus at Isla Sorna, I loved it when they fought
I considered the one that attacked Muldoon, the one that snapped at the other raptor when entering the kitchen, the one fooled by Lex's reflection, and the one that chases them into the computer lab, was The Big One
