Best Moment in a Movie

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Two Tyrannosaurus Rex-es push an RV off the cliff with our main characters in it: Sarah, Ian, and Nick.  Eddie Carr rushes to try to save them, and they scream at him for a rope.  When he asks them if they need anything else, they sarcastically order cheeseburgers and meals.  This is the same mocking of the poor, barely mentioned side character has been met with the entire movie.

Eddie still struggles to save them, slipping through mud to try to connect the RV to the car, having to pause midway to secure the rope that slipped off.  In the torrential weather, he is a true hero because the task seems impossible.  He finally hook the cable to the car, reversing the vehicle to try to pull the RV back up.  When the T.  Rex-es return, he has ample time to run; instead, he crouches down in the driver’s seat, foot STILL on the pedal.  He tries to save the people he has been berated by the entire movie with his entire heart.  Yet watching the movie in passing, you would barely even recognize his heroics. What is his thanks?  He is thrown into the air and torn apart.  Everyone should know about Eddie Carr.
