After Sarah gets rejected from the ATM, Van Pelt steals the game from Peter. In the rush, Peter steals it back and runs away. The driver of the second car (that almost hits him) appears to get out. However, after a cut scene of the stampeding animals, we see Peter run towards the open driver's door. As the camera turns, we see a foot under the door, which quickly retracts back into the car. The person is not seen inside the car, as Peter hides in the driver's seat as the animals crush the car. See more »

There is only one way to describe Jumanji: excellent. The plot is very, original, with outstanding concepts packed into each individual scene. After viewing this movie, the wild side of the jungle gets into you, making you want to dare to play the game. Although the computer animation may not look all that real, I still give this movie a 10/10, for an outstanding plot, casting, and spirit, which any great movie has.
