I liked Rollands character, he was honorable, disciplined, experienced, and in all, the most badass character the Jurassic series ever produced. I would have loved to see him in later instalments of the series, but sadly, this will never happen.
Not that I wish otherwise, but I personally would not like to have seen him in future movies (Yes I know the actor is dead). He signed off in JP2 with the best quote! "I have spent enough time in the company of death." That's enough to leave the character on the throne of awesome casting!
Somewhat honorable. Using the Rex infant as bait by breaking its leg to lure in its father to kill it wasn't honorable. Though he does show concern for people to certain degrees, he cared for his friend, and as seen in the video he doesn't tolerate disrespect to women. He's a memorable character, not the greatest yet far from the worst.
UnknownOne he didn't break it, Ludlow or whatever his name was tripped over and broke the leg of the poor baby, I do agree that it wasn't exactly honourable to use the baby as bait though.
UnknownOne it wasn't in the film but it did happen, might have been cut because there's pictures of him showing him falling onto the rex with Roland standing infront of him.
I suspect they removed it because we were supposed to root for the dumbass who trashed the InGen camp and dismantled his bullets later on and got dozens of people killed (you’d probably need half an hour with a vice and a pair of pliers for each one).
They should’ve kept this and the Peter Ludlow scene and it gives a background of the new characters in the film. It makes sense of what the next steps for inGen’s plan to shift dinosaur from isla sorna site B to San Diego under Peter Ludlow. Roland has a lot of character
@@serendipityculture1679 He just lost his closest friend; a man who's stuck by him through thick and thin. I think ANYONE would be disillusioned as Tembo was afterwards.
This scene really adds to Tembo’s character and Arjay’s friendship. It’s a shame is was cut in the theatrical edit. A true hunter doesn’t mind if the animal wins
It feels a little long and a tad cheesy, to be honest. If they'd shortened it a bit and maybe cut out part of the fight, I can see it being included. We never do get a good background on Roland and Ajay, so it definitely would have helped the story.
"A true hunter doesn't mind if the animal wins. But there were.....not enough escapes from you and me." That is VERY mature coming from a hunter, and it shows how he's more into the sport of it rather than straight up killing animals. Plus, I think it really shows just how much of a dead shot Roland must've been.
That is why, in my country, we used to hunt with only double barrel shotguns. The logic being that if you cannot hit the animal with two shots than the animal has every right to escape.
@@brav0wingTo be fair that's only for sports hunting. Hunting for many people is about putting meat on the table for less money. And then there are those who hunt invasive species like hogs and coyotes who over populate & destroy eco systems and attack people, pets, and livestock. That said all hunters even the sports hunters should care about conservation.
One thing I loved about Roland was that throughout the course of the movie, he remained calm and never in shock or fear. Even when a T. rex was chasing after them or when the men were dying one by one, he was calm and focused on his task.
Yeah, even when he realized his bullets got stolen, he still managed to stay calm. Granted, he actually knew better than anyone else that raising your voice with a Tyrannosaurus Rex 15 feet away from you is the equivalent of ringing the dinner bell.
I wish they'd left this in. Give the character some depth. He wasn't some soulless killer, which the movie alluded to but never confirmed. This depicts the fact he had a moral inclination that would have made him a far more endearing and substantive facet.

There actually seems to be two different takes of this scene floating around online, each with subtly different dialogue. In one of them, one of the drunk guys remarks, "He's wearing my mom's shirt." For some reason, I really love that line, even though I hate the sentiment behind it.

Watching this movie on TV is about the only way to see the deleted scenes. I remember the first time watching this on TV, and being surprised when the screen didn't cleverly cut to Ian as the woman screamed. It went to a meeting of InGen with Ledlow
I am old enough to have seen Lost World in theatres, and remember later when it was first aired on broadcast TV (Fox, I believe) the additional scenes were a big part of the promotion, and the way it aired on TV relatively soon (a couple years maybe) after its theatrical release seemed like a pretty big deal at the time... though as I remember it, that quick turnover would become pretty common soon after. When the DVDs came out a few years later, the scenes were included as a bonus feature, in a slightly rougher state. The other clip on of these scene on RUclips looks like it comes from that source. This source is some sort of broadcast television, indicated by the rating on the left hand side of the screen when the video starts. The last time I saw Lost World was when I bought the DVD when it came out in like 2000 or whatever, so I don't know anything beyond that time period. (Just some info for those curious! a bit of faulty memory may be present.) I'm glad you brought up the intention of this scene, as so many people have missed it (including myself when I first saw it), even after Ajay points it out so clearly at the end. When I was a young teen, I loved this scene simple because I thought Roland was just being a cool guy for starting this fight with a "bad" guy. And it's true, the guy had it coming. Roland has a personal sense of decency that is admirable and more of which can be seen in his honorable actions later in the movie. But like all good characters, Roland is flawed. Sure, he didn't like seeing this waitress being treated poorly, but his actions were far more about him than it was about her - or even about how the other man was behaving. He started this fight because he is bored. He is dealing with his realization that his type of guy is a dying breed. His idea of hunting as honourable is changing with the times, which clashes with the "gentlemen hunter" identity which has been a part of him likely all his life. His superior abilities have made him arrogant. He sees himself as a great man among lessers, both in these kinds of assholes at the bar, the "rich dentist" types he's taken on safaris, and the Greenpeace types whose ideology is in direct opposition to his own. Ajay, Roland's one true friend, can see right away the real motivations behind the fight. I haven't really been interested in Jurassic Park since the 90s (I say, as a randomly write an essay in a RUclips video of a Lost World cut scene) , and so my info might be out of date, but originally I remember that the baby T-Rex's leg was supposed to be accidentally broken by Peter Ludlow. Ludlow who was drunk and prematurely celebrating his victory, steps on the animal. It's another layer to the whole thing. Roland hates guys like Ludlow, but he works for him, doing his dirty work. The movie portrays Ludlow as a rich kid of questionable morals, with no skill. Ludlow needs skills. Roland sells his skills to further Ludlow's goals, which put people in danger. This clashes with Roland's morals, but he needs to do it. His continued need to have his superiority confirmed is how he is dealing with all the moral clashes in his life and with his identity. And he thinks he can prove his superiority to himself and others by killing the T-Rex and hanging its head on the wall of his lodge. In the end of the movie, Roland doesn't kill the rex, but he has defeated it - shown he's the better hunter the same way he has every other animal - and it still feels hollow. The type of people who have shown complete disdain for his identity as a hunter are the only characters who have shown any real honor and integrity. They also "defeat" Roland in his main goal, stopping him from killing the T-Rex. Nick gets one over on him and maybe this is as worthy a foe as Roland will find in his life. Meanwhile, Ludlow, the man Roland worked for, just got people killed, including Ajay, Roland's only friend. A lot of people don't like Lost World. I certainly don't think of it as highly as I did when I was a kid. But the stuff with Roland is among the best parts of the movie, and it's a shame that so much of it seemed to get lost on the cutting room floor. The Lost World is "just" an action movie, but I love action movies, and having this level of depth and character development really can elevate a good action movie into something more. I love this scene even more now than when I was a kid. Yeah, Roland is being a badass, but there is so much more going on here than just that.
@@rchhowe I actually have to disagree with Ajay's assessment in part because it feels WAY too much like the scriptwriter trying to downplay what Roland does in the scene. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, because the writers for some reason thought a bunch of idiots with little care for human life (our protagonists) were somehow easier to root for than the mostly competent expedition led by Roland Tembo despite having the protagonists make the worst possible decisions they could at every turn.
This scene really accurately captures the personality of real life game hunters. A good friend of mine, who happens to be a hunter himself, once told me that you can only hunt an animal that you really love and respect. It's not about dominance, it's matching your strength against a worthy adversary. Tembo was a great character, I loved how he was clearly smarter and more honorable than the other mercenaries and poachers InGen hired. Shame we never saw more of him.
@@VelociraptorAnimations I think you mean for sport. Fun is too broad to make it even remotely enforceable. Besides, we have rules and regulations as is.
@@VelociraptorAnimations I take you've probably never hunted. No-one hunts because it's 'fun.' It's a challenge. Furthermore, the sport hunter population does more for the conservation and protection of wildlife than the do-gooder anti-hunting crowd has since the beginning of time
@@VelociraptorAnimations the cool thing is, your opinion doesn't dictate what we can do. Also, I'm not explaining anything to you. Do some research of your own instead of expecting everything to be spoon fed to you.
The first time I SAW Lost World: Jurassic Park was a TV recording on a VHS. Then when I saw it again on DVD, I was disappointed that this scene and the InGen Board of Directors scenes weren't in the final cut.
I don't get why people don't like this scene. It's an amazing scene to add to Roland's character arc. Although the theatrical edition is still good, as Terrordome 3000 puts it, "slaps Ludlow up the side of the face with words only" but this scene really makes Roland look like not a complete bad guy, he's a character who's doing some bad things, but you can't help but love and respect the fact that he's a man of honor.
Yeah. Like, he was on the side of the bad guys, but he clearly had a good heart AND he didn't take anyone's BS. He went to the islands for his friend and for his own thrills, but as soon as he loses Anjay and Dieter and sees what else is going on, he didn't even care about getting his trophy anymore.
No. His character never wants to go near dino's after losing his friend. Hes living his life away from that fiasco.i love his character, but he doesnt need to come back.
Pete Postlethwaite (1946 - 2011) was a great actor! He looked like a strong healthy 50 year old here in this movie. But about fifteen years later, it's just so sad how cancer can just take it all away. Rest in peace good sir!
This scene was most definitely taken from the Fox Network broadcast that came out back in 2005. I remember it because during one of the commercial breaks, there was an announcer that said to stay tune for the trailer for War of the Worlds, which was going to be released later in the summer of that year, which I got so psyched about, since I was a fan of the original book by H.G. Wells (I read it in my school's library). But when this scene was presented, I immediately began to feel a sense of fascination with the character of Roland Tembo. I didn't know what it was when I first saw the character but I thought to myself he's kind of an awesome ass-kicker standing up for the waitress being harassed and disgustingly fondled inappropriately by the moron in the green shirt. And I also felt a sense of warmth by Roland's friend Ajay, who seemed to not have enough of screen time in the final theatrical version. But here we get a very good in-depth presentation of the friendship that he shares with Roland. The scene is very unique because you get a sense of Roland's morals and life philosophy. He is truly one of a kind of movie character. Played by one of the greats no longer with us. R.I.P Pete Postlethwaite. You did such a great job playing a complex character. He was a cool giant of a man from across the pond.
Punches the guy with one arm tied behind his back so hard it knocks him down along with 3 of his friends, immediately downs a scotch then punches the guy even harder. Then at the end of the movie captures a t-rex alive. If that doesn't scream "bad ass" I don't know what does.
This scene for some reason was added in the censored version of the movie on tv. The way Roland managed to dodge was basically Ultra Instinct in a nutshell
From Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner: "ROLAND searched the continent, for the man who done him in. He found him in MOMBASA, in a BAR ROOM drinking gin. Roland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word. But he blew VAN OWEN's body, from there to Johannesburg ."
@KyodaiKen1979 Nedry wasn't trying to porposely kill anyone either, he just fucked up his plan. Van Owen was malicious and didn't give a shit who got fucked up.
Definitely a mistake to remove this scene - I know the runtime was pushing it already, but they could have edited this down too. As cool as it is to see Roland effortlessly beat up a smug groper, it was just a side show. In the brief interactions here between him and Ajay, we establish not only both their characters (the finished film just has Ajay appear as one of the many hunters, and its not unless you watch carefully that you realize he and Roland are close friends), but their relationship and their history. Here, Roland goes from just being any old big game hunter to one growing tired of the sport until a new quarry turns his head and gives him a new lease of life, which adds to the emotional weight of when the drive gets him his prize but at the cost of his best friend. This scene completes Roland's character arc, and without it, the film has a conclusion but limited set-up.
I know why they cut this out after thinking about it. Roland's character was very forward about wanting to hunt the Rex when arriving on Sorna. In this scene he comes across as "everything is too easy and there's nothing to challenge him" when talking to Ajay, so when Ajay died on the island and he went home defeated, his scoffing here in Kenya literally bit him in the ass as being "undefeated". It's better to leave this scene out, it shows him to be just a hunter looking for a new trophy instead of being pompous as shown here
I was watching this version earlier and I laughed my ass off when I saw this scene. Should've been in the original version. Who knew this English dude knew how to kick ass? Very funny scene.
This should have been left in, it wasn’t just a badass scene on Roland’s part but cemented that Roland and Ajay were old friends looking to return. It also feels like it mirrors the scene of Nedry and Dodgson in Costa Rica. Nedry was the straight-up greedy villain while Roland was the leader in it for the sport and actively trying to keep people alive.

Didn't see it anywhere below, but this scene was actually included in the TV Broadcast of the Lost World Jurassic Park. It was one of my favorite scenes! I was confused as hell when I got it on DVD later and it was in the Deleted Scenes.
When Roland mentioned Ajay's name in the movie it felt somewhat out of the blue. There was no character development. This scene makes that so much meaningful now. After all these years. I don't know what to say. I am happy to see this scene but sad too that it wasn't in the movie.
well I'm not sure if it was out of boredom, he was technically disturbing Roland from his peaceful reading and drinking while also harassing a female waitress Roland morally chose 2 defend. Roland always lived by his own morale code and wasn't a bloodthirsty guy.
yeah as he said he always felt he was 2 successful in hunting, I tend 2 wonder whatever Roland did once he returned home after Ajay's death, he obviously never returned 2 InGen.
I gotta imagine they didn’t know what they had with Roland. They obviously knew he was an important character, but he became such a fan favorite, more scenes with him would have been amazing.
This is a deep core memory I vaguely remember this and man it would have been amazing if they added it in the main movie. Honestly this whole time i thought it was a dream after watching it because Roland did become my favorite in the movie.
They really should put this back in in future releases of this film. The only reason it was deleted is that it makes Roland Tembo look even more like the films true protagonist than the released version already does.

If only Michael Crichton wrote another Jurassic Park book. It was only supposed to be a one and done book but he was pressured into writing a follow up. Had he been motivated to write a 3rd book, he may have been able to get Steven on board for directing another one.
This scene should've been kept in considering that it shows the introduction of both Ajay and Roland. And it also shows that Roland's got a heart despite being a big game hunter.
For those querying why this scene was left out; It makes Roland to be too much of a 'good guy' which wasn't Spielberg's intention. So he removed a scene that makes viewers emphasize with his ambition to hunt a Tyrannosaurus. Whether this was a good move for the story is another matter. Making Roland out as a badguy while making Vince Vaughns character (whose an utterly unlikeable person) to be a good guy was a poor story choice imo. But that's what Spielberg wanted. Spielberg himself has criticised the way this film turned out, perhaps with hindsight this was one reason why.

It's a cool scene and well-acted by Pete Postlethwaite (RIP), but I understand why it was deleted. It breaks the pacing of the first act and we already learn about Roland's character and his partnership with Ajay in their later hunting scenes.
Good on you, man. I love this scene, and personally wish it had made its way into the film, but watching the Cretaceous Cut, one realizes that: 1) This scene's inclusion in the first act makes it so the audience has to wait too long to get to the dinosaurs. 2) Giving Roland the moral high ground this early on makes it less of a twist when we start to see evidence midway through the film that he's more than just a heartless poacher.
Good scene; it adds more character to Roland. I can see why it was cut though. Sometimes scenes are cut not because they're bad but because they interrupt the pacing of the movie
This might be an obvious statement because of TV PG symbol in the corner at start of video, but I will say it anyways. This scene is added to televised broadcasts of Lost World. I had never seen this before until last Christmas I was flipping through the channels and this played and I thought it was such a cool scene I decided to track down the movie on DVD. I was disappointing it wasn't included.
Since Camp Cretaceous is doing so well these days, I really wish we could have an adult animation of those two during their hunting days. What does everyone else think of that idea? Edit - It would also be hilarious if done right. Roland clearly knows Ajay far too well. He waited to deliver his punchline on tigers right until the second that poor Ajay nearly did a spit take over it! Lol
I can see how much that coincides with how tigers became an endangered species from years of hunting and poaching them all the while it is now illegal to do so today since 1972.
Tembo is such a powerhouse performance in this movie. Badass, complex, and easily one of the best characters in the entire franchise. I’d say he’s the last truly great character introduced in the Jurassic movies.
Roland, "You sir are no gentleman."
Prick, "That supposed to be an insult?"
Roland, "I can think of none greater."

When the DVDs came out a few years later, the scenes were included as a bonus feature, in a slightly rougher state. The other clip on of these scene on RUclips looks like it comes from that source. This source is some sort of broadcast television, indicated by the rating on the left hand side of the screen when the video starts. The last time I saw Lost World was when I bought the DVD when it came out in like 2000 or whatever, so I don't know anything beyond that time period. (Just some info for those curious! a bit of faulty memory may be present.)
I'm glad you brought up the intention of this scene, as so many people have missed it (including myself when I first saw it), even after Ajay points it out so clearly at the end.
When I was a young teen, I loved this scene simple because I thought Roland was just being a cool guy for starting this fight with a "bad" guy. And it's true, the guy had it coming. Roland has a personal sense of decency that is admirable and more of which can be seen in his honorable actions later in the movie. But like all good characters, Roland is flawed. Sure, he didn't like seeing this waitress being treated poorly, but his actions were far more about him than it was about her - or even about how the other man was behaving.
He started this fight because he is bored. He is dealing with his realization that his type of guy is a dying breed. His idea of hunting as honourable is changing with the times, which clashes with the "gentlemen hunter" identity which has been a part of him likely all his life. His superior abilities have made him arrogant. He sees himself as a great man among lessers, both in these kinds of assholes at the bar, the "rich dentist" types he's taken on safaris, and the Greenpeace types whose ideology is in direct opposition to his own. Ajay, Roland's one true friend, can see right away the real motivations behind the fight.
I haven't really been interested in Jurassic Park since the 90s (I say, as a randomly write an essay in a RUclips video of a Lost World cut scene) , and so my info might be out of date, but originally I remember that the baby T-Rex's leg was supposed to be accidentally broken by Peter Ludlow. Ludlow who was drunk and prematurely celebrating his victory, steps on the animal. It's another layer to the whole thing. Roland hates guys like Ludlow, but he works for him, doing his dirty work. The movie portrays Ludlow as a rich kid of questionable morals, with no skill. Ludlow needs skills. Roland sells his skills to further Ludlow's goals, which put people in danger. This clashes with Roland's morals, but he needs to do it. His continued need to have his superiority confirmed is how he is dealing with all the moral clashes in his life and with his identity. And he thinks he can prove his superiority to himself and others by killing the T-Rex and hanging its head on the wall of his lodge.
In the end of the movie, Roland doesn't kill the rex, but he has defeated it - shown he's the better hunter the same way he has every other animal - and it still feels hollow. The type of people who have shown complete disdain for his identity as a hunter are the only characters who have shown any real honor and integrity. They also "defeat" Roland in his main goal, stopping him from killing the T-Rex. Nick gets one over on him and maybe this is as worthy a foe as Roland will find in his life. Meanwhile, Ludlow, the man Roland worked for, just got people killed, including Ajay, Roland's only friend.
A lot of people don't like Lost World. I certainly don't think of it as highly as I did when I was a kid. But the stuff with Roland is among the best parts of the movie, and it's a shame that so much of it seemed to get lost on the cutting room floor. The Lost World is "just" an action movie, but I love action movies, and having this level of depth and character development really can elevate a good action movie into something more.
I love this scene even more now than when I was a kid. Yeah, Roland is being a badass, but there is so much more going on here than just that.
@@rchhowe I actually have to disagree with Ajay's assessment in part because it feels WAY too much like the scriptwriter trying to downplay what Roland does in the scene. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, because the writers for some reason thought a bunch of idiots with little care for human life (our protagonists) were somehow easier to root for than the mostly competent expedition led by Roland Tembo despite having the protagonists make the worst possible decisions they could at every turn.

This scene really accurately captures the personality of real life game hunters. A good friend of mine, who happens to be a hunter himself, once told me that you can only hunt an animal that you really love and respect. It's not about dominance, it's matching your strength against a worthy adversary.
Tembo was a great character, I loved how he was clearly smarter and more honorable than the other mercenaries and poachers InGen hired. Shame we never saw more of him.
@@VelociraptorAnimations missing the point entirely
@@VelociraptorAnimations I think you mean for sport. Fun is too broad to make it even remotely enforceable. Besides, we have rules and regulations as is.
@@VelociraptorAnimations and if it's cultural?
@@VelociraptorAnimations I take you've probably never hunted. No-one hunts because it's 'fun.' It's a challenge. Furthermore, the sport hunter population does more for the conservation and protection of wildlife than the do-gooder anti-hunting crowd has since the beginning of time
@@VelociraptorAnimations the cool thing is, your opinion doesn't dictate what we can do. Also, I'm not explaining anything to you. Do some research of your own instead of expecting everything to be spoon fed to you.
The first time I SAW Lost World: Jurassic Park was a TV recording on a VHS. Then when I saw it again on DVD, I was disappointed that this scene and the InGen Board of Directors scenes weren't in the final cut.
Definitely influenced that scene in Kong: Skull Island where Conrad beats up that one guy in the bar.
I don't get why people don't like this scene. It's an amazing scene to add to Roland's character arc. Although the theatrical edition is still good, as Terrordome 3000 puts it, "slaps Ludlow up the side of the face with words only" but this scene really makes Roland look like not a complete bad guy, he's a character who's doing some bad things, but you can't help but love and respect the fact that he's a man of honor.
who doesnt like this scene??
@@seena96 a lot of people, apparently
Yeah. Like, he was on the side of the bad guys, but he clearly had a good heart AND he didn't take anyone's BS.
He went to the islands for his friend and for his own thrills, but as soon as he loses Anjay and Dieter and sees what else is going on, he didn't even care about getting his trophy anymore.
I do think it goes on just a little too long, but that is my ONLY complaint
They added this scene in a TV version I saw long ago and I've been looking for it ever since
I just saw yesterday with the scene on it
it's a damn shame that Peter Postelwaite is dead because I would've love to have seen Roland make an appearance or two in the Jurassic World series.
No.
His character never wants to go near dino's after losing his friend. Hes living his life away from that fiasco.i love his character, but he doesnt need to come back.
@@Amp661 I think that Roland would probably be on team Malcom and trying to contain the non-avian Dinosaurs.

@@mikegallant811 He was referring to T-Rexes.
You really do feel the friendship between Roland and Ajay that it becomes heartbreaking what happens to the latter.
Pete Postlethwaite (1946 - 2011) was a great actor! He looked like a strong healthy 50 year old here in this movie. But about fifteen years later, it's just so sad how cancer can just take it all away. Rest in peace good sir!
"What do I have to do to pick a fight with you? Bring your mother into it?"
- Roland Tembo
Are you kidding? I'd take you one hand tied down.
Rolland ruled, he knew he'd have to drop down to his level to pick a fight. Great scene should have been left in the movie.

This scene was most definitely taken from the Fox Network broadcast that came out back in 2005. I remember it because during one of the commercial breaks, there was an announcer that said to stay tune for the trailer for War of the Worlds, which was going to be released later in the summer of that year, which I got so psyched about, since I was a fan of the original book by H.G. Wells (I read it in my school's library). But when this scene was presented, I immediately began to feel a sense of fascination with the character of Roland Tembo. I didn't know what it was when I first saw the character but I thought to myself he's kind of an awesome ass-kicker standing up for the waitress being harassed and disgustingly fondled inappropriately by the moron in the green shirt. And I also felt a sense of warmth by Roland's friend Ajay, who seemed to not have enough of screen time in the final theatrical version. But here we get a very good in-depth presentation of the friendship that he shares with Roland. The scene is very unique because you get a sense of Roland's morals and life philosophy. He is truly one of a kind of movie character. Played by one of the greats no longer with us.
R.I.P
Pete Postlethwaite.
You did such a great job playing a complex character.
He was a cool giant of a man from across the pond.
I love that he defended that sista from those animals 💯
Punches the guy with one arm tied behind his back so hard it knocks him down along with 3 of his friends, immediately downs a scotch then punches the guy even harder. Then at the end of the movie captures a t-rex alive. If that doesn't scream "bad ass" I don't know what does.
I know why it was included (breaks the pacing, is out of place and adds only to two side-characters) but I'm still glad I saw it.
This scene for some reason was added in the censored version of the movie on tv. The way Roland managed to dodge was basically Ultra Instinct in a nutshell
This extra 4 minutes gave so much depth and character to these characters, and I am a extremely disappointed they took it out.
Nobody messes with Pete Postlethwaite and his killer cheek bones
I really enjoyed that scene which gives Roland’s character development.
I love how Roland repeatedly attacks the guys nose. It’s hilarious.
From Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner:
"ROLAND searched the continent, for the man who done him in.
He found him in MOMBASA, in a BAR ROOM drinking gin.
Roland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word.
But he blew VAN OWEN's body, from there to Johannesburg ."
@KyodaiKen1979 Nedry wasn't trying to porposely kill anyone either, he just fucked up his plan. Van Owen was malicious and didn't give a shit who got fucked up.
yeah, i JUST got that... there's a screenwriter out there paying tribute to Norway's favored son
@@pladampa what do u mean by the tommy gun an the van Owen thing , none of that happened
@@BasedNj It's from the song Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner, where the writer got the names Roland and Van Owen from.
@@ghostmadlittlemiss thanks for clearing that up , goes to show how much detail speilburgh the writers used to put into movies back then

I LOVE HOW ROLAND TEMBO BEATS THE HELL OUT OF THAT GUY WITH ONE HAND TIRED TO HIS BACK IT'S SO AMAZING
Why am I just now seeing this!!! Omg
Although Roland has many redeeming qualities in the film, this just makes him that much more likeable!
The uncut version was on TV? Cool!
This movie needed so much more of this guy
I liked his original intro. It added mystery and made you wonder if he was good or bad.
I never saw him as bad. When he scolded Peter I knew he was just in it for the hunt, not for ingen. I see him as neutral.
Man I loved Roland Tembo. He was a badass
Definitely a mistake to remove this scene - I know the runtime was pushing it already, but they could have edited this down too. As cool as it is to see Roland effortlessly beat up a smug groper, it was just a side show. In the brief interactions here between him and Ajay, we establish not only both their characters (the finished film just has Ajay appear as one of the many hunters, and its not unless you watch carefully that you realize he and Roland are close friends), but their relationship and their history. Here, Roland goes from just being any old big game hunter to one growing tired of the sport until a new quarry turns his head and gives him a new lease of life, which adds to the emotional weight of when the drive gets him his prize but at the cost of his best friend. This scene completes Roland's character arc, and without it, the film has a conclusion but limited set-up.
I know why they cut this out after thinking about it. Roland's character was very forward about wanting to hunt the Rex when arriving on Sorna. In this scene he comes across as "everything is too easy and there's nothing to challenge him" when talking to Ajay, so when Ajay died on the island and he went home defeated, his scoffing here in Kenya literally bit him in the ass as being "undefeated". It's better to leave this scene out, it shows him to be just a hunter looking for a new trophy instead of being pompous as shown here
I was watching this version earlier and I laughed my ass off when I saw this scene. Should've been in the original version. Who knew this English dude knew how to kick ass? Very funny scene.
This should have been left in, it wasn’t just a badass scene on Roland’s part but cemented that Roland and Ajay were old friends looking to return. It also feels like it mirrors the scene of Nedry and Dodgson in Costa Rica. Nedry was the straight-up greedy villain while Roland was the leader in it for the sport and actively trying to keep people alive.

Didn't see it anywhere below, but this scene was actually included in the TV Broadcast of the Lost World Jurassic Park. It was one of my favorite scenes! I was confused as hell when I got it on DVD later and it was in the Deleted Scenes.
They guy who played Roland's friend was mad that this scene did not make it into the movie. I love this scene because it's funny.
When Roland mentioned Ajay's name in the movie it felt somewhat out of the blue. There was no character development. This scene makes that so much meaningful now. After all these years. I don't know what to say. I am happy to see this scene but sad too that it wasn't in the movie.
Roland is awesome. Like his friend said that beat down was out boredom but I’m glad he did, that guy deserved it. It was really satisfying :)
well I'm not sure if it was out of boredom, he was technically disturbing Roland from his peaceful reading and drinking while also harassing a female waitress Roland morally chose 2 defend. Roland always lived by his own morale code and wasn't a bloodthirsty guy.
I always remembered seeing this scene in TV airings.
Roland fought that guy because he was bored as fuck.
And he fought him considering that the guy was sexually harassing that waitress.
yeah as he said he always felt he was 2 successful in hunting, I tend 2 wonder whatever Roland did once he returned home after Ajay's death, he obviously never returned 2 InGen.
This is without a doubt
The best deleted scene out of any jurassic park movie
I gotta imagine they didn’t know what they had with Roland. They obviously knew he was an important character, but he became such a fan favorite, more scenes with him would have been amazing.
Man respect to him he beat that guy so easy
With one arm tied behind his back.
When I watched this on TV they added in the scenes idk why they did but it made Rolland make a lot more sense when you put it all together
Roland is a grade A badass.
Yes he is and he spoke some truth when he said these days it's a worse crime to shoot a tiger than it is to shoot your parents
Makes Owen Grady look like a child.
They take fully fledged bad ass characters and you only see them in one Jurassic movie.
Partly coz they die.
Its actually better like that. They shine for awhile then disappear. Dragging them through the series kills their mystery.
I definitely saw a version premiere on TV with this scene in it
1:28 Fun fact: This is the same quote used by Lewis Dodgson in the second novel. I hope Dodgson said that in Dominion as a great easter egg.
This is a deep core memory I vaguely remember this and man it would have been amazing if they added it in the main movie. Honestly this whole time i thought it was a dream after watching it because Roland did become my favorite in the movie.
3:21 I can't stop laughing. XD
Oooooh right on the groing
They really should put this back in in future releases of this film. The only reason it was deleted is that it makes Roland Tembo look even more like the films true protagonist than the released version already does.

Roland is such a badass ! Sad they’ve cutted out this scene. But I suppose they did so to make his first appearance during the hunt more impressive.
After Roland fought the man with ease:
“I’m sorry J.R., you where saying?”
*Ajay
If only Michael Crichton wrote another Jurassic Park book. It was only supposed to be a one and done book but he was pressured into writing a follow up. Had he been motivated to write a 3rd book, he may have been able to get Steven on board for directing another one.
This scene should've been kept in considering that it shows the introduction of both Ajay and Roland. And it also shows that Roland's got a heart despite being a big game hunter.
This guy beats Muldoon by a mile
I love Muldoon, but Tembo has an edge over him, I agree.
Pete Postlethwaite was incredibly talented. Lost World was a poor sequel but this guy and Jeff Goldblum at least gave it something.
What do you mean “poor sequel”? I thought it was great especially bringing the T-Rex into the city.
Watch it again, and i mean really watch it. it's so perfect. It'll keep you thinking for hours.
The Lost World was a superb film.
You're wrong.
This scene is better than half the movie ,don’t understand why they left it out
I don’t know why Roland had to get so worked up. Everyone knows that’s how Louis C.K. is.
Ladies and Gentlemen...Peter Postlewaite. RIP
In my DVD I'm pretty sure this scene wasn't deleted on it. I remember watching this scene many times on it
In the dvd that I have, I think this is a deleted scene but not in the movie itself
For those querying why this scene was left out;
It makes Roland to be too much of a 'good guy' which wasn't Spielberg's intention. So he removed a scene that makes viewers emphasize with his ambition to hunt a Tyrannosaurus.
Whether this was a good move for the story is another matter. Making Roland out as a badguy while making Vince Vaughns character (whose an utterly unlikeable person) to be a good guy was a poor story choice imo. But that's what Spielberg wanted.
Spielberg himself has criticised the way this film turned out, perhaps with hindsight this was one reason why.

I think he's feeling it now.
@@alphadragonwolfwarrior6373 cries of pain are obvious.
It's a cool scene and well-acted by Pete Postlethwaite (RIP), but I understand why it was deleted. It breaks the pacing of the first act and we already learn about Roland's character and his partnership with Ajay in their later hunting scenes.
Good on you, man. I love this scene, and personally wish it had made its way into the film, but watching the Cretaceous Cut, one realizes that:
1) This scene's inclusion in the first act makes it so the audience has to wait too long to get to the dinosaurs.
2) Giving Roland the moral high ground this early on makes it less of a twist when we start to see evidence midway through the film that he's more than just a heartless poacher.
Good scene; it adds more character to Roland. I can see why it was cut though. Sometimes scenes are cut not because they're bad but because they interrupt the pacing of the movie
3:21 had me laughing so much
nice the lost world jurassic park 1997 film deleted scene #2 !!!!
I love Roland. Best character in the film. Great scene.
"Bro, I ain't going."
"You get to hunt a T-Rex."
"Yo why are you taking so long we have a plane to catch."
This might be an obvious statement because of TV PG symbol in the corner at start of video, but I will say it anyways. This scene is added to televised broadcasts of Lost World. I had never seen this before until last Christmas I was flipping through the channels and this played and I thought it was such a cool scene I decided to track down the movie on DVD. I was disappointing it wasn't included.
This should have been in the movie this would have been a awesome way to introduce Roland Tembo
This is one of my favorite scenes.
Too bad it was left out.
I've watched it many times on YT.
Me and my brother watched the hell out of this scene
Since Camp Cretaceous is doing so well these days, I really wish we could have an adult animation of those two during their hunting days. What does everyone else think of that idea?
Edit - It would also be hilarious if done right. Roland clearly knows Ajay far too well. He waited to deliver his punchline on tigers right until the second that poor Ajay nearly did a spit take over it! Lol
I love Roland and Ajay, but I like their hunting history be left to imagination instead of putting it on film.
I think they should of kept this in the original cut, would of given a bit more background to Roland and Aray.
Man I wish that was in the movie.
"These days it seems it's a worse crime to shoot a tiger than shoot your own parents"
That phrase...
It's actually a line from the JP novel. Originally, Dodgson said it.
I can see how much that coincides with how tigers became an endangered species from years of hunting and poaching them all the while it is now illegal to do so today since 1972.
Tembo is such a powerhouse performance in this movie. Badass, complex, and easily one of the best characters in the entire franchise. I’d say he’s the last truly great character introduced in the Jurassic movies.
I swear i remember seeing this in the movie itself
