Jurassic Park: Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferraro)

Comments for death : Jurassic Park: Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferraro).

Why is Gennaro listed under Decapitation...?

Cheers for letting us know, the death has been amended.

This is why I think eating (someone else as opposed to "food and drink" should be a category

This is a fair comment, we might have to think about adding this in as a category, i think the original intention was that anyone that gets eaten would invarialy be eaten by a "monster" and there were not really many deaths through being eaten by an animal - although the victims of hannibal lecter would probably have created a problem...

Don't forget zombie-related deaths.

Now that Devoured is a category it should be added to this death.
Also the "R" in rex shouldn't be capitalized, the genus (in this case Tyrannosaurus) always starts with a capital but the species modifier (in this case rex) never does.
The species name (genus and species modifier) should also be in italics or underlined to get real technical...

Thanks for pointing this out Dan, it has been amended - you learn something new every day

Did anyone else think Gennaro didn't deserve to die? I don't think he did. The only person in the film who deserved to die was Nedry, since he caused Gennaro's death as well as those of Muldoon and Arnold (and himself, incidentally). Gennaro was, at worst, just a whimp who panicked in an extreme situation and sometimes I wonder whether I'm the only one who doesn't hold it against him and think he deserved being eaten.

Incidentally, what archetype is he? He's definitely not a Baddy. He may have been greedy and cowardly, but these don't always equal villainous, and he was never mean or anything. I personally would list him under Ambivalent or Innocent Bystander.

The coward-type in these sorts of movies always dies, still, what was he supposed to do, just stay perfectly still right in front of it like those other morons? I suppose what he did was a natural human response to seeing an umpteen-foot-tall Tyrannosaur although I still think he could have at least taken the children with him, although we know how that would have turned out, right?
