History Awesome / TheLostWorldJurassicPark

* The ''Triceratops'' charging down the tent that Ludlow and his men were in warrants a mention. Especially since the previous movie portrayed its ''Triceratops'' as ill. To see one in action in the Jurassic Park films for the first time shows us the awesomeness of the elephant-sized ceratopsian, something that wouldn't be seen again until well into the ''Jurassic World'' series. The rest of the herbivores from ''Pachycephalosaurus'' to ''Parasaurolophus'' also all joining in on rampaging through the hunter camp.

* [[ParentsInDistress When a raptor corners Malcolm in the abandoned building where Kelly and Sarah are hiding,]] Kelly performs her gymnastics routine and kicks out the raptor out a window, impaling it on a wooden stake and ''killing it''.
-->'''Malcolm:''' The school kicked you off the team?

* The ''Stegosaurus'' attack. In [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} older movies]], ''Stegosaurus'' was depicted as a dumb, slow-moving animal that cannot defend themselves properly from attack. Not this time.

** And when Nick accuses them of having no right to capture these dinos for their zoo, what is [[NonActionBigBad Ludlow's]] response?:

* The final moments of TheClimax. Before he was killed by the baby rex, Ludlow gave an order to [=InGen=] to send a helicopter with mercenaries armed to gun down the adult rex from above, thus necessitating Ian and Sarah to pull off their plan to safely trap the rex inside the cargo hold more quickly. The two return to the deck of the boat as the authorities are arriving and the helicopter (seen earlier in the background) is on the approach. Ian hurries to control panel operating the cargo hold doors and slams his hand down on the closing button. Sarah, carrying a tranquilizer rifle, loads a dart in and takes careful aim at the rex just as the helicopter flies in above her. Slowly, as the scene's orchestral score rises to its height, the helicopter hovers into position, allowing the mercenary sitting by the portside door to have a clear shot through the closing doors at the rex. In the next second, practically the length of a single human heartbeat, Sarah pulls the trigger first and lands the dart before the mercenary can fire, ''saving the rex''. Never has the firing of a tranquillizer dart looked so awesome.

** A meta-example: this would mark ''Stegosaurus'' as the first herbivore in the Jurassic Park films to be portrayed as badass.

** Also, the part where the Ingen Motorcyclist speeding through the legs of of a large Sauropod.

* Thought a [[Film/JurassicPark ''T Rex'' pushing an empty jeep over a cliff]] was cool? Well, try TWO ''T REXES'' PUSHING A DOUBLE TRAILER WITH PEOPLE INSIDE OVER AN EVEN HIGHER CLIFF! Nobody messes with ''their'' son!

** And when Nick accusing them of having no right to capture these dinos for their zoo, what is [[NonActionBigBad Ludlow's]] response?:
-->'''Ludlow:''' [[ ShutUpKirk And extinct animal brought back to life has no rights]]. [[VillainHasAPoint It exists because we made it, we patented it, we OWN it]].

* [[{{Determinator}} Eddie's]] desperate efforts to save the others from going off the cliff in the trailer; [[spoiler: he succeeds, [[HeroicSacrifice but at the cost of his own life]].]]

* The ''T. rex's'' rampage in San Diego.
** Particularly the part where the ''T. rex caves in the side of a bus by simply headbutting it.''

** Tembo shoots a ''Tyrannosaurus'' with a tranquillizer dart. The hulking monstrosity recoils in pain, roars at him and begins charging at him. Tembo, ''entirely undeterred'', begins loading another dart into the rifle. Calmly staring down a very pissed-off adult ''T. rex'' takes a very special kind of man.

* Despite her [[AdaptationalWimp lack of badassery]] in the movie, Sarah at least gets a few of her awesome moments, like surviving the ''Stegosaurus'' attack, helping Nick free the caged dinosaurs, having a raptor fall onto another raptor to [[SetAMookToKillAMook provoke a fight between them while she escapes]], and most notably tranquilizing the ''T-Rex'' in a nick of time, thus saving the its life along with more human lives in San Diego!

** Also, unlike Lex and Tim, who both became a mess by the end of the first movie, Kelly is the [[TagalongKid Tagalong Kid]] who's [[GenreSavvy clever enough]] to avoid any dinosaur attacks and leave the island without even getting a scratch!
* Even though he was a [[{{Jerkass}} total asshole]], Dieter is still shown to be [[{{CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass}} capable of defending himself]] pretty well when he is first attacked by the ''Compsognathus'' pack. In fact, after being bitten all over his body, he appears to be more [[{{OnlyAFleshWound}} pissed off]] than in pain.
