Actually, Hammond is NOT Nedry's dad. Nedry was calling him "dad" because he was being sarcastic to the fact that Hammond's treating him like a kid.
Came here to say this. ✅
Ive noticed a lot of younger people have trouble identifying sarcasm.
Everyone shouting at TH-cam: HE'S NOT HIS DAD!! They even have different last names: Dennis Nedry and John Hammond. Try to imagine being Irish in America: having to explain sarcasm all the time can get exhausting.
It's because of the way they are watching the movie. They talk about what they see so they don't think on it but surface level. Streamers miss the sarcasms often because they are too busy reacting.
Kinda obvious too
Blows my mind how young Laura Dern was in this. She was ONLY 23 when they started filming it AND Spielberg directed this while directing Schindler's List..absolutely incredible (and it nearly killed him). And what they accomplished with those old computers..there was nothing with dinosaurs anywhere near this film when it came out and it still looks better than most films today. The ultimate kid's film, pure magic.
Exactly 100% agree in that year watching this movie was compared to Avatar premiere.
I had a crush on Laura Dern starting in the 80's when I was in my 20's but I knew she was like 18 when I saw her in Mask (1985) so when I read your "She was ONLY 23 when they started filming it (Jurassic Park)", I am afraid, if you'll forgive me, I had to correct you as she had to be older than 23 in 93, she was 26 when Jurassic Park came out in 1993. (Filming took place in California and Hawaii from August to November 1992 so I guess she was 25...so, 23 v. 25, I guess I'm splitting hairs... I'm sorry... getting old sucks).
Laura Dern was born in Feb 67, so your math is off. She was 25.
@@TheDemonicPenguin it took a while to make that film, started filming at 23, sam was 42, my math is alright but google is even better
@@richcarrCCC she was 23 when filming started, it took a few years to make that film, it's just a fact, just think for a second about how hard CGI of that quality would have been in the early 90's
One thing about nedrys death in the books is that it's so much worse. The writer is a doctor so he put the whole lot of detail into the death scenes. Not only that the dilophosaurus is much bigger about 9 feet tall and after he slashes open nedry stomach, and spits in his face making him blind, he puts his Jaws around nedry head and lifts them up. And the last thing you hear nedry thinking about is that he hopes the pain ends soon
might actually be worse in the movie version though, being a smaller dinosaur it could take longer to kill him, just tearing him to pieces
Theres books!?!?! Has hollywood ever had an original idea, i swear next you're going to tell me Indiana Jones is based off novels
@@IbrahimservantofAllah Well....
Not directly, but it draws heavily from the pulp adventure stories of the 1920s and 30s
@Imperial Citizen yes the books are great. The first book is so much more than this movie. There were Cearadactylus (flying dinos like Pterodactyls) in the first book. This movie is great but the books have so much more details there's no way they could have included it all.
@@IbrahimservantofAllah - Pretty certain it's mentioned in the credits that the movie is based off the book. They kind of have to mention that...
32:58 One of my favorite shots Steven Spielberg has ever done. The letters on the Raptor is the DNA code. each letter is shorthand for the amino acid in the DNA chain. This picture is literary showing you the entire story of the movie: There are Dino's, they are man-made, and scary AF.
Was just thinking that as I watched the video. Apart from just looking awesome, the storytelling behind it is top tier.
My favourite detail is the way they revealed the plot twist really early.
When Grant is trying to make two female seat belt clasps work in the helicopter he just ties them together.
Life found a way.
Dude i'm so fucking retarded, i've seen this movie like 69 times and I never caught that.
@@SleepParty30
It's a subtle detail but since it matches the grumpy character of Grant it's really easy to miss.
@@SleepParty30 You are so not alone.
Edit to add: I was so obsessed with this movie that when it came out on VHS I watched it every morning while getting ready for school for over a year and a half... so seen it somewhere over 400 times in the 90's alone... and I NEVER caught that subtle give-away. Dang!
Holy cow never noticed this.
Oh my god, 30 years and I only just NOW realized that!!
I was 13 when this came out. I went opening day by walking a mile to the bus stop to ride another 5 miles. I then stood in a line that stretched out the mall for an hour and 45 minutes to get one of the last tickets to the first showing. To this day the first time you see the Brachiasaur it still gives me chills, and the Triceratops, my favorite dinosaur, scene makes me misty eyed. I love this movie, all time top five for me.
I was 13 too when this came out and was Absolutely Amazing seeing it when it came out:)
It’s a masterpiece movie
Why didn’t you just have someone drop you off there? Or at least to the bus stop?
And it’s weird how the first Brachiosaurus in this film has always looked much more massive than any Brachiosaurus we ever see in the rest of the franchise.
@@locomojoboy2 because it was 11am on a Friday and my mother worked, and my grandmother didn’t drive and didn’t want to go. It was also 1993 and as a 13 year old I was considered old enough to be able to do that kind of thing safely on my own. We used to be kicked out of the house in the morning and not expected back home until the street lights came on unless you got sick or hurt.
@@cartmantke it’s 30 years old this year
The tagline to the movie says it all:
"An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making."
OG movie. What else can you say?Spielberg raised the bar of movie-making with this. This is 30 years old and it still had the same affect as when I saw it in theaters as a 12 year old.
Hammond wasn't Nedry's Father, he just said 'Thanks Dad' because he felt Hammond was giving him a 'Fatherly' lecture.
Yes, that was just a sarcastic comment
I've always said that this movie was easily the greatest movie experience of my life. Which is why I saw 3 times in the theater. This was the first time we got to see CGI done right. And what's great, is the scene where you see Dr. Grant, after seeing the dinosaurs moving in herds, and in a utter stupor he asks "How did you do this?" That is the same exact question that we the audience were asking those who made this movie, utterly baffled at what we were witnessing..... "How did you do this?" This is one of greatest movies. But unfortunately the younger generations won't get the same impact having always seen these great CGI effects their whole lives. Not that they won't enjoy it. The movie isn't all about its effects. It's got a gripping plot. The music is epic. You care about the actors in the movie. It's still a great movie period.
The thing is, most of the dinosaurs were practical effect animatronics mixed with high-caliber CGI.
19:30 I saw it at the theatre. When the T-rex attacked the kids, many children in the audience got scared and asked thier parents to go, some crying...(I don't think anyone thought the Dinosaurs would look so real, so many bought thier little kids..mistake!) Spooked you guys too, didn't it? I love how the kids were hanging onto Dr. Grant in the chopper at the end...The look from Ellie says, "See? you might be daddy material after all!"
I was one of those kids. My brother and I jumped my dad every time the raptors showed up. We saw it like 3 times in theater and kept telling our dad "No we won't get scared again because we know what's happening." Screaming and crying every time. So funny. I remember it very clearly lol
Dave Chapelle saying “gotcha b*tch!” Fits so well in so many moments in this movie 😂
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.
that one's 50/50 for me, depending on if I remember it's coming or not.
It's the one in the dream on the plane in JP3 that almost always gets me!
@@DraconimLt That was one of the weirdest jumpscares I've ever had while watching a movie.
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay the plane one? Yeah, I was NOT expecting that! What's worse is I often forget it's coming.
@@DraconimLt Dude, same! Honestly, if I was having a fever dream of a talking velociraptor, I think I would seek therapy
Fun fact: The author of Jurassic Park _the novel,_ Michael Chrichton, wrote a sequel novel partly influenced by the movie version. It was the _only_ time he ever wrote a sequel to any of his previous books.
Only for Spielberg to practically dismiss it and move the story to San Diego.
@@curious1053 Yes, the sequel movies are not nearly as good. I still found them enjoyable enough, though.
Only real thing that seemed influenced by the movie was the fact Malcom was alive. He flat out died in the original novel.
Correction, Crichton’s novel The Lost World wasn’t influenced by the movie. Jurassic Park did so well that Spielberg asked Crichton to write a sequel novel to his original book for Spielberg to make a movie for. Then proceeded to not follow Crichton’s plot at all
Imagine that when people saw that first Jurassic Park dinosaur in cinemas in 1993 it was ground breaking special effects, compared to dinosaurs that had been depicted on film before then. Everyone was talking about this film in 1993. That scene where they see the first dinosaur still gives me goosebumps.
For years and years, dinosaurs in movies were stop-action clay animation (like the original King Kong), or they were film a gila monster up close and project it supersized behind the actors.
Both the book and this first movie revolutionized the latest on dinos, both the special effects and the science. Prior to this, dinos were thought and shown to be giant stupid sluggish lizards - here there were fast and smart. (Okay, the movie may have overdone how fast and how smart they probably were.)
Exactly it was in 1993!!! I compare the feeling watching it like I had when I watched Avatar 20 years later
@@frank5891 it’s 30 years old this year
I saw this half a dozen times in the theater. Only once did I watch it while not on acid. The scene where the raptor jumps out at Laura Dern always got me…except the one time I wasn’t on something. Also had McDonald’s Pizza before seeing it. Some 90s nostalgia kicking in.
@@asskicknchickn wow! And you’re still alive? Lol
First Gladiator, now Jurassic Park... This is the nostalgia trip of two of my favourite movies of all time I needed.
Same! And today was the trifecta with Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell for me!!😊
17:43, Fun Fact: If you look VERY closely at the bottom center of the cup, you can see a small dark spot. That spot is actually the knot of a guitar string that was used to create the water ripple effect. They fed a guitar string vertically through the bottom of the cup, through the dashboard, to the ground, and a crew member plucked the string.
Scarier still, Tyrannosaurs likely wouldn't have made a sound at all. You can't stalk prey if you're roaring and stomping loudly.
I was in third grade of elementary school when this originally came out. All my classmates were bringing it up in conversations. Yet my father who I still lived with at the time outright refused to take me to see it in theaters, insisting the film would be too frightening. I was 9yo at that point and still resent the incident to this day.
I mean, I get that. But your dad probably saw Jaws at the theatre the summer it first came out, and was probably in stark raving terror of the ocean for some time. He probably wanted to shelter you from the same kind of thing. Misguided, yea, probably, but he meant well.
@@matthewteague623 Look, he was very hypocritical when I think back. He forbid me seeing Jurassic Park but let me freely play Wolfenstein 3D on my DOS computer and Operation Wolf on NES prior to this. Yes, I'm that old of a fossil. My mother was equally divisive. The same year as Jurassic Park she rented The Good Son on VHS under the false impression since Macaulay Culkin was the main character, it was kid oriented.
Which it absolutely wasn't. Yet she let me watch the whole thing. It remains in my Top 15 most disturbing movies I've ever seen list I've come up with as an adult. Which I judge by not blood/gore because that's a visual thing. No, it's entirely based on disturbing in nature of what happens. Anyway, sorry for blathering on so much. I just have a habit of doing that.
Only children resent to.their parents for a movie ...🤣🤣🤣
Resentment over that? Talk about middle class problems 🤣
@@TheCrazyCloon Please keep in mind this was the early 90's. Nowadays any kid can pirate any form of media online. The only means of seeing a new release was to visit a theater in-person.
Small thing: Nedry wasn't Hammond's son, he was just saying "thanks dad" in a sarcastic "thanks for the life lesson" way lol
MY NUMBER 1 FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!
Before Steven Spielberg was picked to direct the project, James Cameron, Richard Donner, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered. Cameron said in an interview during the films 25th anniversary that he wasn't the right person for the job, knowing that the film would have had elements of ALIENS, giving it the darker Horror edge to it. He was glad to see the movie as it is now.
Before Sam Neill was cast as Alan Grant, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Kurt Russell, Robin Williams, Dylan McDermott and Tom Sizemore were considered.
Before Laura Dern was considered to play Ellie Satler, Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Kyra Sedgwick, Uma Thurman, Juliette Binoche, Sandra Bullock, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Lisa Rinna, Laura Linney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Teri Hatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, Ally Sheedy, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Christina Applegate, Amanda Plummer, Joan Cusack, Debra Winger, Claire Danes, Renee Zellweger, Kim Raver, Mariska Hargitay, Juliette Lewis, Genevieve Bujold, and Kim Basinger were considered.
Before Jeff Goldblum was cast as Ian Malcolm, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox, and Bill Paxton were considered.
Before Richard Attenborough was cast as John Hammond, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, and Jon Pertwee were considered.
Jeffrey Jones, Bob Hoskins, Brian Cox, and Geoffrey Rush were considered for Robert Muldoon.
The film was a box office and critical success, making $1 billion dollars ($1.8 billion dollars today) against a $65-70 million dollar budget.
It's one of the best Sci-fi Action Adventure films ever made.
Wow that's a lot of information! 👍
Can you imagine how different this film would have looked with the other directors?
It’s weird and cool to consider how different things (anything) would be if certain circumstances hadn’t coalesced. It’s the same way I feel very lucky to be alive in the universe that the Lord of the Rings films are what they are.
Great information about this extraordinary movie!!!
@@royoschroeder Some of the information is wrong.
It's easy to forget just how huge this film was when it came.out. I was 12 when it came out and saw it at the cinema- hadn't seen anything like it. The effects still look pretty good now and back then they were mind blowing! It is pretty scary for. A family film- small children were being carried out of the theatre crying when I saw it!
I might have been one of them. 😂
Hello from a fellow '81-er lol. I was 12 as well. My most favorite movie ever, to this very day. I don't remember my first experience too vividly, other than the screams when the goat leg landed on the Jeep (including mine lol). I've seen every re-release of this movie since.
That was Arnold’s arm (Sam Jackson’s character). He went to reboot the power but never did, so that’s why Ellie and Muldoon went.
This movie was so epic I saw it 6 times in theaters as a kid, with different people every time. It was a brilliant use of CGI and animatronics which is a lost art. Literally feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples is a cinematic experience you can never forget.
Epic it’s the word
33:09 basically how my mom,sister and even my girlfriend still reacts when the raptor jump and tried to grab Lex's leg. The fact it still gets people to this day just shows how well this scene was done
I remember it getting me the first couple times too.
When Nedrey Said "thanks dad" he was being sarcastic. Imo this was the best in the series of the movies. I saw this on opening night at the theater and to see this on the big screen was awesome.
Jurassic Park Amazing movie 🤩💯 and hey that restroom scene lol the really mean old lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids!! He's just Desperately scrambling trying to hide sitting on the toilet and Rexy She found him and Bites him up Shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy before Eating him up 😋 it's actually kinda funny looking wouldn't you agree with me?
Jurassic Park is celebrating it's 30 anniversary this year. It's fitting that you are doing the movie reaction. Such a thrill ride. Thank you both for this.
Watching this movie in theaters back in the day is a thing I will never ever forget. There's few movies out there that had this much of an impact in the industry.
Crazy fact: During filming the area was hit by a hurricane stranding everyone in a hotel during which Spielberg played games with the kids trying to keep them calm. Love Jurassic Park and yall's reaction 😊👍👍
to add on Richard Attenborough was such a deep sleeper that he slept through the entire storm in his room and was only told about it afterward.
Jurassic Park actually came out the day my big brother passed, I was 10, he was 12. I saw this movie 8 times over that summer and it really helped me cope because I could get my head out of the real world and into a fantasy. It still helps me on hard days.
I cannot tell you what it was like to see this in the theater in '93 - nothing like it had ever been on the screen. The moment where they first drove up on the hill and we first saw the dinosaur was breathtaking; the scene where the T-Rex terrorized the two jeeps was incredible and the finale, where the T-Rex roared and the banner reading "Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" fell past it gave me chills. It was when he was watching the production of Jurassic Park and saw the capabilities of digital animation that Lucas finally realized that technology had advanced to the point where he decided to begin working on the Star Wars prequels.
The fact that Spielberg could work on both this and Schindler's List and that they both hit screens in the same calendar year convinced me he is the greatest filmmaker ever.
He said that the Holocaust was like Jurassic Park for Jews and all the other victims.
I love that during their "bumpy landing" Dr.Grant ties together the two "female" ends of the seatbelt. Some symbolism you wouldn't notice unless you've seen the movie before.
Life finds a way!
@@jonathansmith8672 life uhhhh finds a way
I saw Jurassic Park in the Cinema in 1993 and it's still the best Movie experience i've ever saw in a theatre.
I can still remember the T-Rex footsteps resonating in the water as if it was yesterday.
Great Movie indeed.
What about kid's screams, because their parents thinks that will be kids family movie? Great feeling is it?
@@vvargreymon_rus
You seem really upset that anyone should be expecting to see Dinosaurs act like Dinosaurs...
@@JD.78 Forgive me if You understand me wrong, I was just curious.
@@vvargreymon_rus
The only screams i heard were screams of joy, everyone seemed to enjoy Jurassic Park.
Take care, God bless.
@VVarGreyMon _RUS I was about 5 when my parents took me to see it in 1993 And they actually watched it before taking me and my sister to see it. Lol so they knew what we were going to be watching. Lol. And all the movie did was increase my obsession with dinosaurs. Got more toys and books.
I watched this movie in theater as a birthday present from my father. This movie blew my mind back in the day. Also Jeff Goldblum's character is awesome in this and also the second movie. I just love his dry and sarcastic sense of humor.
I remember watching this as a young child in the early 2000's and it still to this day has the magic. That opening scene was the best of screen writing, visuals, and sound. In this movie they make the dinosaurs actually act like wild animals. I still have to rewatch the T-Rex escaping the padock scene as it is one of my favorites.
Y'all's reaction was priceless! Jurassic Park MADE my childhood. I'm so happy you two enjoyed it. Without this movie, I wouldn't be who I am today.
Velociraptor was certainly a viscous dinosaur, but in reality it was only about 2 feet tall. There is another raptor, called Utahraptor, that was nearly 20 feet long and 5 feet tall, which (imo) is the most viscous and frightening dinosaur of all. If you're interested in what our current understanding of dinosaurs looks like, I'd highly suggest watching Prehistoric Planet!
so we prolly share the exact same sentiments about them in each & every sequel. this entire series jumped off (no pun) due to one of them killing joffrey from inside her own cage. they every bit of how robert said they were and he learned the hard way, by being everything Alan did. so, how the hell is claire outrunning one?
"Must drive faster!"
What made this movie the groundbreaking flick that we know today, was the use of Practical Effects with CGI mixed in. If this movie was made today, CGI would have been used for everything and it wouldn't have looked good.
Fun Fact: Michael Crichton said that his views on science and genetic engineering are largely expressed by Ian Malcolm. Steven Spielberg saw many parallels to himself in the character of John Hammond. Fittingly, he cast a fellow filmmaker in the role, who begins his tour of the park by showing a movie in which he also acts. While Malcolm is dressed entirely in black, Hammond wears all white.
Lost In Adaptation Fact: The Mr. DNA cartoon was Steven Spielberg's way of condensing much of the novel's exposition into a few minutes.
Not The Virus Fact: The guests' encounter with the sick Triceratops ends without any clear explanation as to why the animal is sick. Michael Crichton's original novel and the screenplay, however, include an explanation: the Stegosaurus/Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones. In the digestive tract, these rocks would grind the food to aid in digestion. After six weeks, the rocks would become too smooth to be useful, and the animal would regurgitate them. When finding and eating new rocks to use, the animal would also swallow West Indian Lilac berries. The fact that the berries and stones are regurgitated explains why Ellie never finds traces of them in the animal's excrement.
It’s must go faster not must drive faster
must go faster. same line goldberg says in Independence Day (1986).
@@victore6242 Goldblum* 1996*
Great Reaction Guys! 😁 First, Hammond wasn't Dennse's Dad! Dennis was Just Being a Wise A#@!! They weren't related. And the Little boy playing Timmy was In The Pacific! And he also Play QUEEN'S Bass Player in, Bohemian rhapsody! 🎶
Thank you! 😂😂😂
I mean, he was about to bail anyway. Who wouldn't sass the boss on the last day when you're walking out and ripping him off?
joey mazzelo. iWanted to be him so bad, growing up
it finally dawned on me 2 years ago, " why are best friends closest friends to me ...always gingers?"
This is the only movie I saw as a child where I had to leave the room because I was scared. I lied and said I had to use the bathroom. And it was during the scene while the lawyer ran away and hid in the bathroom. So I always laugh about that scene because that was me when the T-Rex showed up.
Some of the shots during the storm, like the waves crashing... Were taken during landfall of Hurricane Iniki. One of the main reasons why you don't see many dinosaurs is because the hurricane destroyed a lot of them. Some dinosaurs that were to be shown, you saw their names when Nedry was taking the embryo samples from the cryogenic storage.
This was something we had never seen in theatres when it came out. Much scarier than what was expected, with just enough good laughs. Spielberg at the top of his game.
I was 8 years old when this was in theaters and it absolutely blew my mind as well as everyone else’s!
FUN FACT! The glass on the car roof was never meant to break. The rex was supposed to be unable to break the roof open, prompting her to flip the car over in frustration.
In other words, the kids' screams were very, VERY real.
Probably scarred for life over that.
Yeah, because Steven Spielberg sees a pair of child actors screaming in genuine fear under a malfunctioning thousand pound robot and says "wow yeah keep rolling" with cameras perfectly positioned to boot. This story is an Internet myth. The only thing that wasn't supposed to happen was the edge of the glass breaking after it was already inside the car. The screaming is in the script.
@@hettbeans Correct. The framing of the shot makes no sense if the glass break wasn't completely intentional, and remember guys, it's not just the medium shot from the side at the "accidental" angle, but also the shot / reverse shot from above the Jeep (Rex POV) and from beneath the actors (kids' POV). None of these shots make sense if the glass break is accidental. AND the kids' screams cannot be real because all set/location dialogue is replaced via ADR. None of the boom mics on set or location are actually used, except as a headphone guide for the actor during the ADR sessions. You mean to tell me that Steven Spielberg subjected these poor children to the trauma of having to re-live the terror of almost being crushed by an animatronic T-Rex head by spending two or three days in the ADR booth not only watching the footage of their near-death experience, but also having to carefully match their all-too-real screams for the ADR track?! C'mon, let's have some common sense guys. LMAO!
@@travisfoster1071 You are a gullible one.
@@hettbeans Not to mention Spielberg ended his friendship with another director (i believe John Landis) after they illegally used child actors who were killed in a helicopter crash (along with legend Vic Morrow) in a stunt that went wrong on the Twilight Zone movie. He called for stunt safety reform after that as well. So it would be wildly contrarian to then do this scene as the myth states (not to mention liable for lawsuits to him, stan winston and the studio for doing this and probably ending their careers).
I love that the two of you immediately got the philosophy in the first dinner scene. I watched this movie as a tiny child and that scene was like a fog, but now it's the most quotable part of the movie. Funny how that happens
I love grants expression when he yells hey and lights the flare and the Rex roars at him. Like ohh shit. I might have effed up...
I’ve only seen this movie a few times but I just noticed a cool detail at 19:18 when the T Rex flips over the car and starts biting into the bottom of it. It doesn’t know what a vehicle is so it sees movement (inside) and just registers it as general movement so assumes the whole vehicle is the animal.
Actually, while I was typing this I remembered a fun fact: this is also a thing on safaris. In the open-cabin tours, where lions etc. can come right up to the car, they tell tourists not to move much at all when lions are near because the lions think the whole thing, people and all, is one organism. I.e. way too big to take on. Once they see people moving around and can tell there are smaller animals (humans) on top of something, they’re more likely to attack. 😅
The fact that Spielberg directed "Jurassic Park" while making "Schindler's List" is a testament to his creativity and genius. He also teamed with one of my favorite composers John Williams once again for the main score which they worked together for the main score for Spielberg's 1975 "Jaws" film. Williams also composed the score for "Star Wars" which is why all 3 movies have a similar unassuming jovial sound despite the thilling and menacing nature of the action. Great reaction ❤
6:15 This scene still gets to me, even to this day. The music, the pacing, the amazing use of CGI (that still stands the test of time), and just the magical feeling that cinema can offer. Jurassic Park means so lot to those of us who got to experience it in the 90s or even the early 2000s. It truly has something that none of the sequels ever got to replicate.
You, sir, are the FIRST reviewer of the many I have watched who noticed the words on the rear view mirror warning about how things are closer than they appear! I always thought that was a brilliant piece of humor, and no one else seemed to notice it. Thank you!
The arm she pulled loose in the electrical room was Mr. Arnold', Samuel L. Jackson's character. They cut his death scene to keep the length of the film down.
My first job was at a movie theater when this came out. Watching people come out of the theater completely shocked and slack jawed was hilarious. This movie and Terminator 2 really showed what CGI could do in a film.
more like what practical effects could do, which is what both movies succeed at and is exceptional
@@thesenate9455 The practical effects are great, but it was the cgi that were real benchmarks at the time.
@@thesenate9455 Not at all, practical effects were well established by 1993, nothing new under the sun in that sense, even though they were top notch and some of the best ever made, what was truly revolutionary was the use of CGI, which looks amazing considering what they had to work with in 1992; as EggsNtaters said, JP and T2 were pioneeristic and demonstrated that CGI could look photorealistic and allow directors to stretch their legs with stuff that would be impossible to achieve otherwise (if the flock of Gallimimus was done in stop-motion, it would've been hell to pull off and wouldn't have looked nearly as good, which would've probably meant they would have just cut it out of the movie entirely, or to use T2, most of the T-1000 scenes with liquid metal).
The first time I saw Jurassic Park was in a New Hampshire Theatre back in 1996 when the movie came out with my Grandfather Mario Casali who just passed away at 95 on July 16th 2022. He was a Gym teacher and Guidance Counselor at Quincy, MA Central Middle School for 40 years and the named the Gymnasium after him in the new Central Middle School they built. So this movie has a special meaning to me! You guyses reaction was priceless as usual! Keep up the great work!
This movie is over 30 years old and it still holds up
5:36 they name that waterfall Jurassic Park Falls in Hawaii and you can take tours to see it
6:53 the most iconic line of the movie
29.29 that was a real reaction from Laura lol
the arm belong to Samuel Jackson's character. He originally left to go turn the power back on. Did you catch that when the goat was out to tempt the t rex, the ground was even with the cars. But when the t rex attacked the cars there was a long drop down that huge tree. Editing...lol This is the first movie that changed 80s special effects into real CGI. Almost every movie after this adopted the same techniques. Some better than others. But this was the first. Fun facts. lol yall enjoy.
That's not his father, lol. He said "Dad" sarcastically.
I went to see it when I was 12 years old, and it was the reason I went to university to study paleontology, unfortunately I didn't finish, but my love for science was fueled by this movie.
Best reaction to this movie by far from other reactors!!! I watched this in the theater when I was 13 when it came out…. Amazing!!
It was 1993, I was 10 years old and loved Dinosaurs. Mum and Dad took me and my brother to a late session. No one had seen anything like this before, the practical and SFX were mesmerising. An absolutely incredible cinematic experience that brings me joy to this day.
What is truly amazing about Spielberg was that while he was making this film he was simultaneously doing production work for Schindler's List in Poland often video conferencing with his film crew in Hawaii about scene setups and filming schedule. This film was ground breaking in it's ability to seemlessly combine animatronics with CGI. Basically any partial shot of a dinosaur was animatronics and full view was CGI with the exception of the Triceratops which was fully animatronics
It's adorable that y'all think of things from 1993 as being old.
They're making me feel old.
I think "Old" when it comes to movies.. Should mean "Before my time".
I see movies, music and art as old if they were created before me. I am in my 30s now so that may change when I grow older tho.. When I am 80.. I may find music made when I was 50 years old.. Old.
But to me.. JP is not old.. It's classic.
The Jungle Book is old.
Blade Runner is cult.
Titanic is aging..
And Moana is fresh from the camp. :)
@@RetroGamingSweden I understand where you're coming from, but I would disagree slightly. I was born in 1980, but I wouldn't consider media from the 70's as old, necessarily. I guess it's all relative, and depends on who's asking. It's just that the younger generation seems to think that the modern world just came to existence, very recently and out of nowhere, and hasn't been a gradual process.
@@RetroGamingSweden Sorry to keep rambling, but I had another thought. I have an "old soul", and have always been interested in history, in general. I think everyone should, at the very least, have a basic understanding of the historical events in the century preceding them. And in my experience, it seems like people under 35 or so, have absolutely zero knowledge of anything before their time.
@@odemusvonkilhausen My mistake. What I wrote was from my POV and how I feel about it. As a personal opinion. Not as something factual.
Age is just a word that people use to try and define things more specifically than "I don't know". And the word "Old" is terrible in fact to use to specify something at all. So it comes down to personal and individual preference.
I saw this in theatres at 11. Still remember the experience. I loved it!
I'm 40 years old, young? Choose whichever term you want to use. I seen this movie back in 93 when it came out. This movie reset the standard in CGI effects. It went up against other major blockbusters that came out that year and still was highly successful.
The same day my folks and myself went to the mall and the first JP toy I got was the screaming Dilaphosaurus. As a child prior to this movie, I enjoyed Dinosaurs and for a while I had dreams of being a Paleotoligist, until I got older and figured out what I had to do to get to that point and I was like "Nope" lol
Imagine seeing this on the big screen, with Surround Sound.....it's like we were THERE!
It still blows me away that, in 1993, someone in the Jurassic Park VFX crew remembered that pupils dilate and constrict, depending on the amount of light. There are big budget films still being made today that don't show that.
Seriously can not believe y'all didn't realize that was sarcasm when he called him dad 🤣 wow
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..."
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "Must GO FASTER!"
Can’t believe you guys never saw this?! 😱 I’m so excited for y’all! This is great
This is the first Gen. Z review of Jurassic park I've watched. Love you were basing your previous experience from the ride before ever having seen the movie. Fully gagged! But you're right. Before the movie was released, Universal Studios Hollywood started building the Jurassic Park River Adventure. Universal knew Jurassic Park would be a hit. Dinomania was in pop culture in the 1990's. Gene-sequencing was on the fore-front of biological technology. And the film is a masterpiece in balancing: "Scientifically, we can now do this", "Ethically, should we do this", and "Capitalistically, can we make money off it."
You would probably like to know, That Jurassic Park was a book First. Which is Writen by Michael Crichton who wrote some amazing books. My favorite book is Sphere, as a book it is phenominal, the movie is alright. He also wrote Timeline, The adndromeda Strain. Congo (Also a movie) I believe 13 of his novels have become mmovies
In 2018 I was lucky enough to see this on the big screen, with the SF Symphony performing the score live. It was a monumental experience!
Fun Fact: 19:10 was not supposed to happen. The animatronic accidentally went through the roof of the vehicle while filming, and genuinely frightened the actors. Spielberg decided to keep the scene because the reactions/screams were legit..
When this movie came out in 1993, i watched at the movie theater, and every parent take their childrens to see the dinosaurs. At the middle of the movie all childrens was screaming and crying and some parents take them out. 2 days later in the movie posters was a cartel with the leyend "This is not a children movie"
It's crazy how many people have never seen these classic movies.
You should see Keanu Reeves in his debut movie role: “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, and it’s sequel.
Amazing that this movie is now 30 years old! I remember seeing this in the theater with my wife. The whole scene with the kids in car and the T-Rex comes crashing though the plastic roof! That was legit one of the scariest things we had seen on film. Still a surprise that the story and the special effects hold up as well as it does after all this time.
We have a theater here that has a giant screen (really giant like a drive-in screen, but inside). They showed this movie, and let me tell you, the scene when the T-Rex escapes and attacks the kids' car was terrifying up there on that huge screen!!! A great classic of a story! Truly makes you think about genetic engineering and weighing the benefits vs. the chance of something going wrong.
Fun Fact: When the raptor swings the door open, then it pans to the kids, look towads the back of the raptor, you'll see a hand come in and rest on it
A lot of people have already commented about Nedry being sarcastic about the 'dad' bit, but I think in the book and the Trespasser game it is mentioned that Nedry is related to Hammond in some form, either as his nephew or a distant cousin. The "Don't cheap on me Dobson, that was Hammond's mistake" & "I don't blame others for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them" lines relate to Hammond offering Nedry contract work but he vastly undersold how much of a workload it was for what he was being paid, and when Nedry tried to quit Ingen sued him for breach of contract and crap-talked about him to his clients as him being unreliable, forcing him to return to working for them. So Nedry is poor, underpaid, and stuck working at a job he hates.
Even in This Day in 2023 This Movie Still Looks Amazing! One of The Best Movie in the Jurassic Series! Nothing Beats The Orginial!
As others point out, Hammond isn't Nedry's dad. He was being sarcastic. And Nedry's plan was only to temporarily sabotage the park to buy time for him to deliver the embryos to his contact at the dock. But due to the storm, the ship had to leave early and Nedry was in such a rush that he got lost on the way to the dock.
You have no idea what it was like for us back in 1993 seeing those dinosaurs for the first time! I was 11 years old and was awestruck! I also ran out during the raptor scene in the generator building.
I was like 3 or 4 when I saw this movie for the first time and it affected me so much that all my toy cars have gotten the tires chewed off of them. But I think it's so funny how much y'all react to some of the scenes and also makes me kind of sad. I wish I could see the movie through yall's eyes as someone who hasn't seen it before and experienced that again. Minus chewing the tires off of toys
Welcome to Jurassic Park.
New subber here. Ya'lls reaction was awesome. This was every kids favorite show back in '93 😊. We literally grew up watching Steven Spielberg movies and his ability to direct across genres is unparalleled. He is truly an O.G. 😄
I was a Kid when i saw this film in a very small, very old cinema with every seat full of people. It was sheer mindbreaking, and since then i love this movie and Dinosaurs in general....♥️♥️♥️
Fun Fact: When descending in the helicopter and Grant struggles with the seat belt. They are both the female end and instead decides to tie them together. This symbolizes that "life finds a way" as mentioned by Malcolm later on.
Oh hell yes. Y'all got to watch the whole series. Some are better than others but if you like dinosaurs even if they're inaccurate you'll love these movies
Lost world is underrated.
no. this is better than the others. the others are utter crap which entirely miss the point 🤦♂Jurassic Park is not a film about a dinosaur park. It's a film about science, ethics, playing god, and hubris. a modern retelling of frankenstein in many ways
just discovered you guys, about to binge all your stuff :)
i saw this in theaters when i was 12 years old and the moment they see the first dinosaur absolutely blew everyones mind. this movie also was basically the death of stop motion animation as artist Phil Tippet was supposed to do all Dinosaurs via Stop Motion (which he still is a master in) but 2 guys at Industrial Light and Magic sneakily did a T-Rex walking animation in full CGI and when Spielberg and Producer Kathleen Kennedy visited ILM during production of this film they had the animation casually running on a computer in the background, Kennedy saw it and the rest is history.
I remember reading that the glass roof of the jeep wasn’t supposed to break originally it was only supposed to crack, so the terror on the children’s faces and their reactions was that of pure terror
26:50 -- that was the scene we'd put on when we wanted to demonstrate our home theater's surround sound. Felt like you were right there in the middle of the field...........
I saw this movie in the theaters, front row, when I was 12. Most intense and scary, but awesome movie I had ever seen!
Jurassic Park Amazing movie 🤩 and that restroom scene LOL that really mean old lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids!! He's just Desperately scrambling trying to hide sitting on the toilet and Rexy She found him and Bites him up Shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy before Eating him up 😋 LOL it's actually pretty funny looking wouldn't you agree with me?
Fun fact:
Tyrannosaurus Rex did not have movement-based vision in real life, it had vision as sharp as an eagle, combined with their excellent sense of smell and hearing, making it the apex predator of the Hell Creek formation. Recently, studies of its brain indicate that it had primate-level intelligence, possibly at the level of a baboon.
Also:
Design-wise, the Velociraptor of the film is actually a mix between Deinonychus and Utahraptor(two larger relatives, with utah being as big as a horse), since Velociraptor was actually the size of a large turkey and a slim, up-curved snout. And of course, they were feathered, making them look like hawks on steroids.
My favorite movie of all time.
A couple fun facts (that I'm sure others have mentioned by now but)
1. During the T-Rex's breakout, when it slammed through the roof of the car the kids were in, that glass was not supposed to break but the force of the prop did break it, so that was true fear that you saw those kids expressing. Those screams were real.
2. Theres a lot if differences from the book and the movie. One of them being Nedry's death. It was way worse in the book. In the book the Dilophosaur gets the venom in Nedry's eyes like you saw, it blinds him and then the Dilo swipes at his gut and eviscerates Nedry. He feels his guts spill out, then he feels it clamp its jaws onto his head, it lifts him (the Dilophosaur is 10ft tall in the book) and with a quick motion ends his suffering with a quick swing, breaking his neck and killing him.
3. No Nedry and Hammond are not related.
Fun fact 1 is wrong. The glass was supposed to pop and the kids fear was acting. What wasn't supposed to happen was a tooth from the animatronic breaking off and chipping a small piece of the plexiglass off the main bubble.
Maybe somebody else here touched on this here, but Nedry's death is usually lauded when watching the film, but the way he dies in the book is absolutely grotesque. It goes into detail telling the searing pain he feels after being blinded by the Dilophosaurus' venom, disemboweling him with its claws before picking him up *by his head* in its jaws before finally crushing his skull. Something only alluded to in the films, but in the books it delves into full blown horror.
This was the first Movie I EVER watched back when I was 4-5 ish, I was very young.
So the movie and the franchise itself means everything to me.
Even as a kid, I was bothered by Malcolm's line: "What you got in there? King Kong...?", after he had obviously already seen what they got in there...
On the question "Why create raptors?": In the OG novel by Michael Crighton, on which the movie was based, it was explained that the scientists never knew what would come out, because they were unfamiliar with the dino-DNA. It was always a gamble what specific species they would create. And furthermore the frog DNA mutated the dinosaurs, so they would never be the "real thing". Which might explain eg. the dilophosaur's frill (and venom), for which there is no paleontological evidence.
O, and no... Hammond is NOT Nedry's dad... he was just being sarcastic. This thing confused me when I saw this as a kid... 🤔
And the arm that fell on Sattler in the shed belonged to Mr. Arnold, Samuel L. Jacksons character. He went into the shed first to recharge the breakers, but obviously didn't make it. That's why Ellie and Muldoon went there to do it.
Love you guys, and I am so happy to see you react to my favorite childhood movie!
i think the King Kong line was due to the gate looking very much like the aesthetic of the OG King Kong film with the high walls and torches... just my opinion
Malcolm mentioned that because of the giant gate that looked similar to the old King Kong movie, he was joking
I saw this movie with my mother and sister in the theater the day it came out. We were sitting right underneath the speakers so that T-Rex roar was deafening. There are no words to describe the sense of wonder of seeing that Brachiosaurus for the first time. I still get chills when that music plays in that scene
lol... shoshana's jump when the raptor went for the kid's leg!
fyi - spielberg was shooting jurassic park while he was editing schindler's list. man had a very busy few years.
Movies like The Abyss and Terminator 2 were the first to show off realistic CGI, but this was the first movie which really showed you what could be done. This was incredible to see in theaters in 1993. You had never seen anything like it.
when this was first shown in theaters a lot of parents brought their little kids to see this great dinosaur movie. they obviously had no clue what to expect so the sound of dozens of second graders screaming and shrieking in delighted terror was hard on the ears
Omg one of my favorite childhood movies! You guys are great, I love watching people be amazed by this movie just like I was as a kid! And you are totally right, I think universal studios nailed the park area I loved going there!
