I found this deviation on DA that shows how Spinosaurus could be bipedal with those tiny hind limbs. I recommend taking a look at it and reading the comments.

It is worth pointing out that super-short hind legs aren\'t enough for bipedal movement. Headden and Cau pointed out that theropods were poorly adapted for quadrupedal movement (even knuckle-walking). The quadrupedal thing was assumed on the basis of the proportions and not the forelimb structure. I hope they justify their conclusions in that monograph.

*** To be frank, the whole 'Spino breaking a Rex's neck' thing is only so hated because T-rex lost, not just because of its scientific innacuracy. there are many more far more drastic bullshit in Jurasic Park- T-rex having a prehensile tongue, poison-spitting Dilophosaurs, eucaptylus chewing sauropods, 10 foot Velociraptors, Dilophosaurus being the size of turkeys....frankly, messing around with purely hypothetical strength levels is the least of JP's paleontological problems, and if one is truly worried about accuracy there are plenty more stuff one should be annoyed about.

* DanBrowned: The Spinosaurus being able to snap a ''T. rex'''s neck; the third movie's "dinosaur consultant" went on record claiming this was actually possible. In reality, a Spinosaurus's jaws were too weak to do so and their hands and arms were anatomically incapable of holding on to the T-Rex in the manner it does.
** Not to mention, ''T. rex'' had one of the thickest necks of all predatory dinosaurs, which some scientists speculate it used to pick up medium sized dinosaurs and shake them to death in its jaws, whereas Spinosaurus had a long, thin neck to allow it to move its head quickly into the water to catch fish using its long, narrow jaws. It would be like trying to get a pelican to try to snap a bulldog's neck. Also, the T. Rex had one of the strongest sets of jaws, proportionally, of all creatures to ever exist. The Spinosaurus wouldn't have been able to survive one bite to the neck. Sure, maybe the T. Rex was off its game or something...
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Dr. Grant's remarks at his lecture at the beginning of the movie: he does not consider the Jurassic Park creatures true dinosaurs, but rather genetically engineered monsters. This is shown again by the completely impossible behavior of the Pteranodons. The actual inaccuracies and accuracies in the pterosaurs of the movie are too numerous to list here but anyone who would like to actually look it up can read the StockDinosaursNonDinosaurs page, which has a whole folder dedicated to describing pterosaurs.

* RefittedForSequel: Many scenes in the film are from the books: The river chase from the first and the aviary and cloning lab from ''The Lost World''. It's been joked that ''III'' exists mainly to use up all the bits from the books they couldn't fit into the first two movies.
