He admitted he liked the scene in the Crichton novel film adaption involving dinosaurs rampaging through a museum, as it bore direct similarities to an incident featured in Carnosaur.

[1] Set in the rural village of Warchester near Cambridgeshire, England, the novel opens at a chicken farm which is attacked one night by a mysterious creature, leaving both the farmer and his wife dead.

A reporter named David Pascal investigates the carnage, and notices that the blood-stained room where the attack occurred has been thoroughly cleansed in a seeming attempt at covering the killer's footprints.

He sees a variety of different species, mostly carnivores, including the dinosaur that had escaped earlier which is identified as a Deinonychus, a sexually-frustrated Megalosaurus, and an adolescent Tarbosaurus.

The Tarbosaurus, driven by equating the smell of mammals with easy food, further destroys the premise by bashing down numerous fences and gates, chasing the protagonists down before battling a pride of lions.

All across rural England, reports begin flooding in on mysterious deaths caused by both the prehistoric animals and the modern-day predators Penward kept in his zoo.

The Tarbosaurus breaks into an indoor mall and chases Pascal and Jenny though it, before being forced back by a fire hose being shot into its ear.
