Jurassic Park: A violent death that escaped

When we look at the condition of his arm – detached from the rest of his body and found by Eli Satler in the dark corridor of Jurassic Park – we suspect that Ray Arnold’s last moments should not have been a cake walk.

In Spielberg’s film Samuel L. The computer scientist embodied by Jackson, who stood aside to restore power in the park, actually disintegrated into pieces and was eaten by predators. A scene that we imagine to be particularly violent and that does not appear in a film familiar to us should have been filmed and appeared in the final scene.

Indeed, as the actor said in the interview AV Club In 2018, he was called to the set to film the series, but was never able to get there due to a terrible storm that hit the set during the filming.

“I should have gone to Hawaii to film my death scene”she said. “But there was a storm that destroyed all the kits. So I could not come to Hawaii … everything you see. , These are the remnants of my body, my arm. But yes, I have to be on the set. “

It is impossible to know what Steven Spielberg was going to do about the given sequence and whether he was really considering a bloody or violent scene. After all, the death of hunter Robert Muldun, which takes place in a similar situation, is filmed almost without a camera.

That said, the disappearance of Ray Arnold in Michael Crichton’s original work is described quite harshly. The unfortunate technician really finds himself trapped on the ground by a predator who starts plowing his chest with his claws.

Another anecdote about Ray Arnold’s character that we see smoked throughout the film: a cigarette he uses Samuel L. Jackson The shooting range was fake.

“ I took some shots of myself in this lab, with this long trail of ash hanging from here (…) Counterfeit cigarettes “– Ando the actor still with the microphone AV Club.

“I quit smoking and “He wanted to make sure it did not happen again, so he found fake cigarettes that tasted the worst.”
