The T rex's face was manipulated to make it look meaner.  The jaw is not
as heavy-the teeth are not as long in real life.

The T rex walk and run in JP 1 is inaccurate as the software they were
using couldn't do simple ball and socket joint rotations like real knees
and hips can do.  

There is some doubt that T rexes that weigh many tons could run at all.

The 'raptors' were 1 the wrong size, 2 the wrong head, 3 the wrong
hands, 4 found on the wrong continent, 5 their tails did not have the
freedom of motion to ripple like mad cats could, and 6 ran funny with
their tails in the air in JP 2.
