There are at least 5 more. Don’t forget Bambiraptor, Microraptor and Megaraptor, Variraptor if we are listing all the Dromaeosaurids.

The movie versions were portrayed as larger even than Deinonychus, but still smaller than Utahraptor which is the really big one discovered after the first film came out. An intermediate between Deinonychus and Utahraptor is quite possible. By the third film they're referred to as just 'raptors all the time, presumably both for faster flowing dialogue and to obfuscate the exact fossil identification.

Clearly the fosil record is being faked by TV and film companies to support these shows and soon Arthropleura will be found that match. It's all a conspiracy ;-) Was it the raptors in Jurasic Park that people said were twice the size of all the ones from the fossil records and then they started digging up ones the size of the ones from the film?
