Timmy


Out of the entire group, Tim Murphy seemed to get the most abuse. Don't get me wrong, Dennis Nedry suffered during his death (in the book, he got it way worse), and Gennaro got eaten alive. Tim, however, got beat up far more than any other character.

Dr. Alan Grant got off easy with cuts and brusies; Dr. Ellie Sattler pretty much got the sh!t scared out of her by a raptor and was draggin a goddamn flashlight behind her, twisting her ankle; Lex was in the same vehicle as Tim that was crushed by the T-Rex, but Grant rescued her before more damage could be done. She did get sneezed on. Ian Malcolm was the only other person who got busted up with two broken legs.

Tim was in a vehicle that was flipped over by a T-Rex, then the vehicle was crushed, trapping Timmy's legs in the seat. The Explorer was then tipped over the ravine and landed in a tree, with Timmy still trapped in the vehicle. Then the kid was inadvertently electrocuted when the power was turned back on. The 10,000 volts surging through his body stopped his heart for a few minutes. Finally, Timmy barely avoided being eviscerated by a pursing raptor when both he and the raptor slipped on the ice. In a way, Lex rescued her little brother by slamming the freezer door on the raptor when it came to its senses after slamming into shelving.

In my opinion, I would say that Tim had it bad compared to not only the other kids in the series, but also in comparison to some of the adults in the franchise. Tim took a hell of a lot of abuse.

That's true. The irony is that Tim could have totally fit through the holes on that fence.

A good story is a good story. Canon doesn't matter.

Yeah, he could have. I don't know why they didn't think of that before climbing the fence. My first instinct would have been to see if Tim could get through the fence. He's a pretty tough kid with all the sh!t that he took.

Its has been widely documented that speilberg promised Joseph Mazello a massive part in Jurassic Park as he turned him down for Hook as he was too young at the time, so sepeilberg promised yo use him in his next film which was JP. This is why the ages of the kids were swapped compared to the novel, as speilberg had to incorperate joseph mazello as the younger sibling
