Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInterest in paleontology waned during the Atomic Age and Space Race, but according to Dr. Nate Smith of the Natural History Museum's Dinosaur Institute, "Jurassic Park coming out generated a bunch of interest amongst young people that wanted to become paleontologists and get into the field." As a result, numerous new dinosaur species have been discovered since then, at roughly the rate of 50 new discoveries per year, or about one per week.
- Goofs(at around 1h 3 mins) When they arrive at the T. rex cage right before the black out, we can clearly see the ground inside the cage is approximately flush with that outside the cage. But when the T. rex escapes and begins to terrorize the two trucks, the ground in the cage is shown to be at least 100 feet below where it was before.
- Quotes
John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
- Crazy creditsWhen it says "A Steven Spielberg film" at the end of the movie, listen closely. You will hear the slightly modified five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
- Alternate versionsThe mainland Chinese release of the 3D version (the original version was not released there) deletes the following:
- The goat chunk splattering against the tour jeep and Lex's subsequent reaction.
- Gennaro in the T-Rex's mouth.
- Dr. Satler's discovery of Arnold's severed arm.
- The raptor pouncing on Muldoon.
- ConnectionsEdited into Horizon: Dinosaurs in Your Garden (1998)
