User blog:Love Robin/Allosaurus (The Lost World)

The Allosaurus is one of the main antagonists of the film The Lost World based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel. It is a giant dinosaur which Professor Challenger encounters deep in the jungle. Professor Summerlee calls it a "beast of Hell." Professor Challenger and the others are attacked by the Allosaurus in the night but they scare him off with fire. The Allosaurus stalks them throughout the journey. When Professor Challenger sets up camp, Agnes and Edward Malone the journalist get into an argument about misogynism and other matters but are interrupted by the Allosaurus. The dinosaur comes out of the jungle for a drink and gets to the river, and is interrupted by glimpsing the humans. Hungry, the Allosaurus speeds at them, but is killed by falling into an Indian-made trap which impales the dinosaur to death.

Later in the film, a second Allosaurus appears as the antagonist, and it attacks the Indian village, scaring the locals who know of it as a "man-killer." The Allosaurus causes much havoc and chaos in the village, and even kills the Indian chief. But Edward Malone and Lord Roxton kill the persistent Allosaurus by shooting it in the head.
