Appearances[]
Night at the Museum[]
Rexy first appears when Larry visits the Museum of Natural History while looking for a job. He’s the first exhibit as you enter the Museum, a large reconstructed T-rex.
When the sun goes down, Rexy’s the first exhibit to come to life. On Larry's first time as a night guard, Rexy was seen "drinking" from the step-activated water fountain. Rexy chases Larry around the museum in an attempt to get him throw him a bone (one of his ribs). Rexy and Trixie are both known for their dog-like behavior and joy to play fetch.
The Manual stated that the bone must be thrown twice. The second time mentions to not throw the bone in the direction of the fossil exhibit.
Battle of the Smithsonian[]
Rexy’s briefly seen at the start of the film Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and he’s known for his tug-of-war between him and Larry.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb[]
In Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Rexy is one of the museum exhibits that are apart of the event the museum is having in the beginning of the movie. We also hear from McPhee that Rexy was attacking him while he was in a trash bin, repeating the sounds to Larry to say this point.
Due to Rexy being a huge dinosaur that’s made out of bones, he isn’t a major role in the movie, appear in both the beginning and end due to being in the Natural Museum of History. Still, he is seen dancing with the other dinosaur, Trixie, dancing around in the movie’s ending dance party.
Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again[]
As the movie starts, Rexy is one of the many museum exhibits that mess with the newly hired night guard to try and get him to quit. Rexy is seen engulfing and somehow swallowing the guard before he leaves through the back-end, left physically unharmed before running off. Rexy is also excited to see Nick again, seeing as the bone creature kept going over to him whenever he was around.
Later on Rexy is seen when Kahmunrah manages to escape from the main groups grasp, trying to attack, bite and even 'eat' Kahmunrah to make sure he doesn't get away, which still happened. Due to Kahmunrah getting away, Nick leaves Rexy in charge of the museum while he's gone, hooking the key chain with keys on it onto one of the dinosaur's teeth so it would be safe.
In the end of the movie, Rexy is excited to see Nick one again, getting all up in his personal space as things go on. At the last scene in the movie, the dance part scene, Rexy is seen running through the museum and trying not to hit anyone.

Trivia[]
- In the 4th movie, Rexy is seen eating the new night guard, with how the guard moves through the dino's body. It seems that Rexy has a sort of magical 'insides', being able to drink as well as swallow things to where the motion can be seen through his body. Though, seeing as the guard is left unaffected physically wise, this means that Rexy's magical 'insides' can't do anything at the moment.
- There are only two known times when Rexy became aggressive. The first time occurs during the 2nd movie near the end - a couple of rude teenagers insult him. The second time occurs during the 3rd movie, when the Egyptian tablet further deteriorates during the exhibition. As a result Rexy is seen frightening the guests. It should be noted that Rexy feels remorseful for the behavior afterwards.
- Rexy is the first exhibit to greet Larry after dusk in the first movie. Due to his initial actions such as chasing Larry and removing the front desk to find him, Larry fears for his life. But after throwing the bone, Larry is friends with Rexy for the remainder of the franchise.
- Ironically enough, Rexy never blames Larry for any of the misfortunes that occur in any of the movies. Given that the Tyrannosaur Rex are thought to be territorial, it’s odd that Rexy never gives Larry any hostile treatment. Rather Rexy is always thrilled to see Larry and his son when they come to the museum.
