When I was a wee lad I had a book of Dinosaurs, it was quite informative, but also gave an insight into how dinosaurs lived. It had a number of illustrations , one of which was a fight between a Triceratops and a Tyranosauras Rex. In the story of the fight, the T-Rex attacked the Triceratops, and managed to injure it, but was gored and had to retreat to lick his wounds (though presumably very carefully). As an aside it mentioned that this was quite unusual - as the Triceratops usually got eaten for lunch. So I always liked that particular Triceratops as he mean and horny and biffed a Tyranosauras Rex - something it could tell the little ones about, anyway.
And the little ones wouldn't have believed it either: "Eeeh, there goes grandad, telling his 'I fought a T-Rex' story again..."
Actually my big book of dinosaurs had a similar scene in it too. I wonder if a triceratops smacking a T-Rex is part and parcel of the dinosaur-education experience? They had the original silent "Lost World" on at VB-Movie when I was there last week, but in that the Triceratops gets eaten. What a swizz, I say.
I think they thought it would upset us if the Triceratops got beaten. Little do they know kids.
I suggest instead they show a picture of the two lumbering giants facing each other, then a second with a T-Rex dabbing its mouth with a napkin and ordering liquers. Much more realistic.
didn't one of the old harry hanhausen movies have a fight between a t-rex and triceratops in it? i think if people were asked to picture a fight between 2 dino's most people would come up with those two and be rooting for the triceratops. they were my favourite, i had loads of toy dinosaurs when i was younger. my triceratops was pink for some reason. I was very disappointed when i found out that they weren't actually pink

i've actually sat through that film as well. I think it would have been more interesting if i'd not been sober
