The Chrysler building, MetLife, Madison Square Garden: no icon is safe from the big green guy. And he breeds! (Sequels, we bet.) In its '97 bow, Jurassic 2 took in $93 million.

He has spread out a banner for the helicopters to see: HMOS ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY!! LIVE FREE, LOVE SAFE OR DIE. And then, retreating to his pickup truck, he pets his dog, leaves it in the cab and sets the vehicle on fire. Partly aflame, Jones runs into the highway he has commandeered. Pulling off his burning pants, he picks up a shotgun, places its butt against a wall...
