Jurassic Park with scientifically accurate raptors
Someone wasn't chased. By an angry rooster ad a kid and it shows. There pretty scary enough.
My football coach told us to be like Velociraptors in our linebacker drills. Thought he was telling us some cool analogy or something but we just laughed at his crazy old ass. He tried to move like one to show us.
I didn't see the movie until this year though, had no idea what he was talking about.

The dinosaur that was really in the books and movies was called Deinonychus, which translates directly to "terrible claw", author Michael Crichton decided to use the name Velociraptor just because it kinda sounded cooler.
From Wikipedia:
"Deinonychus were featured prominently in Harry Adam Knight's novel Carnosaur and its film adaption, and Michael Crichton's novels Jurassic Park and The Lost World and their film adaptations, directed by Steven Spielberg. Crichton ultimately chose to use the name Velociraptor for these dinosaurs, rather than Deinonychus. Crichton had met with John Ostrom several times during the writing process to discuss details of the possible range of behaviors and life appearance of Deinonychus. Crichton at one point apologetically told Ostrom that he had decided to use the name Velociraptor in place of Deinonychus for his book, because he felt the former name was "more dramatic". Despite this, according to Ostrom, Crichton stated that the Velociraptor of the novel was based on Deinonychus in almost every detail, and that only the name had been changed."

I almost shot a tom turkey at 28 years old with my 380. They are fuckin terrifying.
When I was around 21-22, I was dating a girl that lived next door to 2 ex-cons. They were good dudes that had done time for drugs and some other dumb shit. One afternoon while I was over there, I noticed a giant rooster strutting around in my girlfriend's yard. I was working on farms at the time, so I figured I go out there and wrangle it for shits and giggles. I got him corralled up on a side porch and when I got within a few feet of him, I noticed the spurs/blades attached to his ankles. That's when I decided to go back in the house.
I ran into the two dudes that lived there later that night and they apologized for letting him get out. He was one of their fighting cocks.

Dumb shit used to gravitate toward me, and I gravitated to it, as well. I'm just thankful my life is very boring, now. I wouldn't have it any other way.
The large movie raptors were closer to a Utahraptor thoughThe dinosaur that was really in the books and movies was called Deinonychus, which translates directly to "terrible claw", author Michael Crichton decided to use the name Velociraptor just because it kinda sounded cooler.

Nah, if it stood upright it'd be about 9 feet tall.
A slightly exaggerated Deinonychus is what was portrayed in the movies.
