Movie Scene Battle: The T. Rex Breaks Out vs. El Tango de Roxanne

Your Champion
The T. Rex Breaks Out (Jurassic Park)

VS

Your Challenger
El Tango de Roxanne (Moulin Rouge!)

The Case for The T. Rex Breaks Out (2):
Look, not many people would be able to keep their head when confronted with a giant meat-eater from the Cretaceous era.  And in Jurassic Park, pretty much everyone except for Grant (Sam Neill) makes some sort of poor decision that just makes everything worse as the Tyrannosaurus Rex breaks free from its enclosure.

The Case for El Tango de Roxanne:
I could go on about how well this works within the story of Moulin Rouge, but isn't it just a great performance even without all that?

Which do you pick?
The T. Rex Breaks Out
El Tango de Roxanne

Your Score:  The T. Rex Breaks Out 5, El Tango de Roxanne 4
