Ultimate Killers is a 2012 documentary based on the six-part program Planet Dinosaur. It takes the highlights from Planet Dinosaur and puts them into one, sixty-minute TV movie. It acts as an elongated, unofficial seventh episode for Planet Dinosaur.
Synopsis[]
Ultimate Killers opens with a modified intro that shares the same music as the Planet Dinosaur intro. Then, it switches to 95 million years ago, where it shows a Spinosaurus fishing. After watching the Spinosaurus swim down a river, the movie flashes back to the Jurassic Period, where an Allosaurus hunts down a Camptosaurus. When a Saurophaganax drives the Allosaurus away from its kill, the feature heads over to Jurassic China, where a Sinraptor is hunting an Epidexipteryx. It almost catches the bird-like dinosaur, just barely missing it as the Epidexipteryx scampers up a tree. The Planet Dinosaur spin-off then focuses on feathered dinosaurs, such as Microraptor, before it goes to explain the history of the tyrannosaurs and abelisaurs. Somewhere in the mix, the Zuni Basin segment is shown. The Planet Dinosaur mash-up ends with the K-Pg extinction event. John Hurt then finishes the documentary with these words: "It is the very thing that made them so iconic that condemns them to extinction."
