It was my favorite movie as a kid. The movie never scared me but Barney the Dinosaur did. When I read the book I was surprised how different it was from the movie but it did explain the water ride at universal Studios in Orlando, Florida at the time.
The book explains why herbivores were getting sick... Ellie works it out with their help once she found some regurgitated gizzard stones and discovered they were getting sick randomly and then suddenly recovering at regular intervals. The herbivores were not EATING the West Indian Lilac. But it grew in rocky ground. Rocky ground from which the herbivores were getting gizzard stones to swallow to help them grind food. So the toxic plant was being swallowed alongside the gizzard stones and stored in the gizzard where the toxic juices from the repeatedly ground plant slowly poisoned the dinos until the next time they threw up their gizzard stones to get fresh ones.
@rawtrout3402 A lot of birds and reptiles that are herbivorous have an organ called a 'gizzard' because their teeth/beaks are so specialized for cutting plant material they are wholly unable to chew it, which needs to be done as a vital step in digestion. The gizzard is a pouch attached to the esophagus, into which the animal swallows small stones, which remain there and do not proceed further down the line. Muscle contractions are then used to make the stones grind into each other and mulch up any vegetation being swallowed as sort of surrogate teeth and chewing. Once these 'gizzard stones' are worn smooth by the action they are no longer functional and get thrown back up so the animal can replace them.
Thing you miss watching it now.....When I saw it in the theater the T-Rex roars shook the whole building and everyone was covering their ears...Added to the real feeling of it.
That must have been amazing to experience! It puts into perspective my own sentiment that I could never watch Oppenheimer at home with the same impact as it had at Imax.
A Flea Circus is where you have miniature trapezes, highwires, bicycles and stuff that are mechanically moved, and the viewer just has to imagine that he sees fleas doing it. That's the definition. Everybody knows that they're being conned, but they play along. Kinda like Pro Wrestling or Roller Derby.
@@zammmerjammer I'm not saying that the violence is fake. I'm saying that the final outcomes, during the times that I watched Derby on TV, were obviously scripted. That timeframe is a while ago. 1970s-1990s. I just now did some internet lookups, and apparently since 2003 or so the scripted outcomes have been done away with and it's a legit, competitive sport. If so, great. Glad to hear it. Since I haven't followed the "sport" for a long time, I was unaware of the change.
My husband saw this opening night in theater, and he still says it was the best movie experience he ever had. When the first dino was revealed, the whole theater went “WOAH” and just chattered till the next scene.
The billionaire John Hammond is played by Richard Attenborough, the older brother of famous David Attenborough whose narrated literally HUNDREDS of nature documentaries over the past 5 decades.
Do you reckon he brags to David about his dinosaur island “David you may have filmed every animal on earth but I had an island with dinosaurs on it I held a baby T rex “
What I've learned from this: David Attenborough, who's narrated hundreds of nature documentaries, is the younger brother of the famous actor Richard Attenborough.
15:56 something I like about this scene is while Malcolm is clearly hitting on her, Satler seems either oblivious or knows but just doesn’t care. She actually wants to learn about chaos theory. 😂
Fun Fact - The Velociraptors in the movie are not Velociraptors, they are actually Deinonychus. They went with the name Velociraptor because it sounded scarier. Velociraptor was only about 2ft tall.
They are actually more akin to Utah raptors which weren’t actually discovered until the year the movie released. Which gave credibility to the raptors appearance in said movie
@@garretthorsch8143 well I guess you could say they're a mixture between deinonychus and utah raptor. Deinonychus was about 5 foot tall, and Utah raptor was about 7+ feet tall. As a paleontologist, I still love the film with it's fraction of issues. However, I still can't forgive the perfect skeleton being dug up in the desert in the very beginning, 😊.
@@garretthorsch8143 Utahraptor wasn't discovered until the week after the movie premiered. The raptors are quite decent for a 1980's Deinonychus, only a bit large, but, a common mistake, as Deinonychus being "man-sized" was quite often understood as being as tall as a man.
anyone else notice that Sam Neill's characters last words in The Hunt for Red October were " I would love to have seen Montana" and he's introduced in this movie in Montana?
Damn! I've seen BOTH movies dozens of times, and I never put those two together! Bouradin survives in the book, btw, they only killed him off in the movie in the place of another seamen who's name I forgot. You can only have so many star actors.
Some facts.... Sam Neill (Alan Grant) was 46 years old in the first movie. Laura Dern (Ellie Sattler) was 26. They were portrayed as working together and also more romantically involved. Laura Dern complained about this point, saying he was too old to be believed to be her boyfriend (that might be why they weren't married in the series). However most people considered her looking older than 26 and he looking younger than 46. In the movie Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm) was flirting with Ellie. In real life she started dating him when they met on the set for this movie. At the time Jeff was 41 (only 5 years younger than Sam Neill, whom she thought to be too old for her character)
@@scottb3034 You’re right, I meant pre-production, which still accounts for work on the film. 25 months before filming. Even then articles states she says 23. So mostly pre-production then into filming. She was technically 23 when cast.
I thought they were the same age. It was only when I looked them up the other day while watching Jurassic World Dominion that I found out they are 20 years apart. They still look the same age. He's aging well. Her, not so much.
@Devin for so many of us the scene where Dr Grant sees a Dino for the first time was the same joy we had who saw this in a theater. John Williams really is the greatest scorer of films and memories in the history of film.
I have told this story on other reactions to this movie, but I can’t help it. It delights me and I hope others get a giggle. After this movie was popular, my dad recommended to my mom that she read the book because it’s very different (both are great). Now. My mom was a teacher and she had to attend this boring personal development day. She’s always keen to learn new stuff and do some of them she really enjoyed. But this particular seminar was in a big stuffy auditorium where the presenter just read his slides out loud to about a hundred people for a couple of hours in a monotone voice. It was also on a program my mom was already certified in, if I remember correctly. Basically, the definition of boring. So, hidden in the crowd of listeners, mom sneaks out the book to read. She gets to Nedry’s death, which is very graphic in the book (Book Spoilers: “he realized he was holding his own intestines and prayed it would all be over soon.) So mom, who is a very sheltered sweet lady who doesn’t watch violent tv and is quite squeamish, read that death scene. She was so engrossed that she forgot where she was and shrieked, “OH MY GOD!” in the middle of this boring lecture surrounded by like a hundred of her peers. Her best friend was sitting next to her and started laughing her butt off, which made everything worse. I love that image so much because my mom is so sweet, shy, and a rule follower. I think of it every time I see that scene.
NiCE STORY THOUGH, BUT i KNOW SHE'Z TRULY NOT AS SWEET AS SHE SEEMZ THE MERE FACT SHE AESTHETiCALLY BREEDED, CAUZE i'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE NOT ADOPTED, YOU'RE GAS UP OF HER, + WHAT i READ ABOUT HER iN THE STORY GiVEZ ME MORE THAN ENOUGH iNFO ON HOW RECKLEZZ SHE KAN B WHEN SHE THiNKZ SHE KAN GET AWAY WiTH iT VASECTOMiEZ 4 ALL OF US, PLEAZE !

During the T-rex scene. Please remember that these are CHILDREN. They don't yet have the necessary knowledge to even BEGIN to navigate the situation they are in. Most adults wouldn't if we're being honest.
@@Bluesit32 Not back then, but today they would be dumb enough to do this, because every generation of kids somehow got dumber than the one before them!
For younger people today, they probably have a hard time grasping just how much of a blockbuster this movie, was in terms of its effects. No one had seen anything even remotely like it. I grew up in the 1950's, and up until JP, dinosaur effects were either done with jerky stop-action clay animation (as in the 1933 King Kong) or they would photograph a Gila Monster up close from a low angle, then project giant-sized it in the background with the actors running around screaming the foreground. Even at the best, crude. I remember simply being blown away when seeing the trailer for the time, when we see the brachiosaurus. This movie (and the book of the same title written a few years prior) was for many of the public, their first introduction to the "dinosaur Renaissance" which had begun in the 1960's. This was a 180-degree shift in understanding these critters, no longer thinking of them as sluggish dim-witted cold-blooded reptiles but as active often-warm-blooded intelligent animals. (Part of this was finding out that dinos as a class didn't simply go extinct due to these negative traits but were wiped out by a meteor/asteroid strike 66 million years. And also understanding that birds are not just directly descended from dinos but ARE also dinosaurs. With the raptor class of the theropods being their closest relatives.)
This movie was the first time I (and most people) had seen what we now know as the correct stance of the T-rex. Used to be portrayed as upright like a prairie dog, instead of its body somewhat parallel to the ground. (The T-rex had the highest bite force of any known animal, made possible by its massive jaw muscles. But these weigh so much, the weight had to be counterbalanced in part by reducing the arms down so much. Also the first time the brachiosaurus was depicted with its tail out horizontally (apparently used in whip-fashion as a means of defense) instead of dragging in mud of a swamp.
Archeologists are NOT rolling in dough. Many of the people on a dig are volunteers. Museums typically are outbid - by a lot - by private collectors so yes, the fossils can be sold, sometimes for a great deal of money. But I would think this $ only applies to the MOST complete skeletons, which are valuable because they are so rare.
In the open clip in the Badlands, they are shown simply brushing away loose dirt about the bones, which are arranged as if the animal had been covered over right after it died. Most times they only find individual bones or bone fragments. But the bones are encased in the rock. They had to use dental picks to gently scrape away the rock from the bones. Takes hours and hours. It is estimated there are some 40,000,000 fossils that have been found, of which perhaps a million or so have been "documented." Vast numbers are simply left as they were dug out of the ground sitting in museums with some of the most important finds when someone goes into the racks and takes a serious look at a fossil lying around for decades.
In the movie, Dr. Grant (and Timothy) are saying the plant-eating dinos, the herbivorous ones, are safe. Not necessary. The most dangerous animal in all of Africa is considered the hippos, which are extremely territorial. And while cows are docile, unneutered male cows, bulls, will gore you to death.
No idea who told you that. I remember when the movie came out. My sister took her 6 year old boy to see the movie. I told her it wasn't for kids, that she should go see Free Willy, that was showing in the same theatre. She said that he loved dinosaurs, that he would be all right. After the very first scene, where they kill the first guy, they walked out. They really loved Free Willy.
I saw this when I was a kid and I loved it, but I used to watch raiders of the lost ark when I was 6 so I guess we're all different. I did love free willy though
I always thought it was a horror movie, turns out it's practically everything. Adventure, comedy, horror, Romance, drama, sci-fi, with a heavy dose of themes
Grant isnt an archeologist. Indiana Jones is an archeologist (study of old human-made things...artifacts and ruins). Grant is a paleontologist (study of old bones). But their finds also go to a museum.
The perfect thing is that when they landed and Grant struggled with the seatbelt, he tied to female parts together and made it work. Later they said they controlled the birth of animals because all dinosaurs were female. Turns out in both case, life finds a way. Such smart film making.
@@DevinGtv901 Real Velociraptors were only about the size of turkeys. But there were other raptor species that were about the size of the ones in the movie, such as Deinonychus, and Utahraptor.
I was a computer nerd and had already read the books. I saw the movie a few days after it opened with some friends. We literally finished our finals sophomore year of high school and went to see the movie. Absolutely blew us away. I had seen cgi and animatronics before, but nothing like this.
It doesn't matter how often 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. Side notes: The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death). The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds. The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of a fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a female horse in heat. A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart." Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.
The T Rex in this Film is named Rexy. She was the first T Rex to walk the earth since the extinction of the dinosaurs and appeared in all 3 of the Jurassic World movies
I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. This was not a children's movie, it was for everyone. Just as the park was intended. When CGI was brand new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples... One of the greatest cinematic experiences. Don't forget Spielberg was working on Schindler's List at the same time as this...now that's chaos.
About 15, 20 years back, I looked into islands for sale. I was shocked to find islands for 120,000, 150,000 dollars. Islands were surprisingly relatively inexpensive. Not that there weren't million dollar plus islands. There certainly were. And as you might imagine, those pricier islands were far more desirable. Also, the higher priced islands were already equipped with access to fresh water and electricity, and if you really were rolling in the dough, you could get one with a beautiful beach house on it. I don't know how the market is today, but there was a time that if you had the extra money to put in the work, you could easily have owned your own island. Well, you could have easily owned one even if you didn't have the money to put in the work. Haha. Hmm...makes me wonder. I think I'll go check out island prices today.
Dude, you have so much genuine joy and excitement for the movies you watch, it's infectious. I've seen this movie dozens of times but you made it feel fresh. Thanks for the fun!
^^^^^^ Titanic is an acquired taste. You either love it or think its a 3 hour snoozer with a predictable ending. Jurassic has a WOW factor that anyone aged 1 to 100 can enjoy.
@clevelandcbi my gf at the time made me see it in theatre's twice. Once probably would have been ok, i really didn't want to go again but did and no hard feelings to her, but it just got my fill of Titanic at 17yo.
My sister and bro in law are/were archeologists. They don't really make a lot of money....decent. And if you're an archeologist worth anything, you don't sell what you find. You are mostly working for government entities (for instance, State Park associations, university associations, etc.) or Museums and whatever you find goes into museums or research libraries. After they were out "in the field" for a number of years, they both taught at universities and did consultation work (identifying remains found, objects found, editing archeological related books, giving talks at conferences, symposiums). They got to write papers and small books about their research and finds. So, a decent living, but it's hard to get rich doing it.
@@DevinGtv901 My sister and her husband would call Dr. Hammond a "pot hunter" -- someone who does it just to find stuff to sell/to exploit for money. As Jeff Goldblum's character said, they didn't do the work - getting in the dirt and researching, etc., they just took what was already available/done and made it commercially viable.
Your question of, if Jurassic Park existed, would you visit it? No. If a house cat wanted to, it could do a decent amount of damage to you, a dog could easily maul you to death. We're nowhere near the top of the food chain without technology and ultimately weapons. This movie is not only a good learning lesson in not tampering with things you don't really know anything about, it's also a great movie. When this released back then, unless you read the book, it could have easily been misconstrued as a kid's movie, just by the cover alone. lol As always, fun reaction, glad you enjoyed it.
@@TheRealdal I'm right there with ya. When I was a kid, my parents took me to see JAWS at the theater, what they were thinking taking a seven year old there, don't know, but it worked, to this day, I don't swim in the ocean. lol I have some friends that lived in Santa Monica for a bit and anytime I would visit, I would get the typical teasing of only getting my feet wet, that's fine, I'll take the teasing. lol A few years back, we were at the local zoo, and instead of just checking out all the cool animals, I'm looking at how well they're caged, are the zookeepers armed, etc. I have the utmost respect for nature and those animals. I know my place on this earth. lol
Speaking of cats: McQuarrie island. Look up what cats did to the ecosystem of that place. Hammond was seriously arrogant. He should have been eaten by the Dinos, but Spielberg opted against the traditional penalty for hubris.
A big problem with jurassic park is they straight up ignored modern zoo designs. Things like having the animals on a way lower level with a big moat and wall to separate them and the guests. It would also be safer if Hammond didn't skimp on programmers and security. "Spared no expense" indeed
I believe Muldoon knew he wasn’t going to make it, hence why he went forward and told Ellie to go. Split off and be the distraction. I also believe he wanted one for the ride. Fun fact: These “raptors” in the movie are either Deinonychus or Utahraptors.
We saw this in the theater on opening weekend. Just before the movie began, the theater Mgr. stood in front of the screen, and advised all the parents who brought young children, that they might NOT want to have them see this movie in the theater, due to the intensity and EXTREMELY LOUD parts of this movie, and they'd be given full refunds if they choose not to. None left. Till the movie began. No, this was NOT a 'Young childs'' movie, though quite a few toughed it out. (I always felt bad for the ones who did, 'cause imagine the nightmare some of them had?). Still, it was and IS an amazing feat of C.G.I. and a damned good story, with some excellent Actors too! Lovely 'Reaction' Devin! You've been knocking it outta the park! :-)
My fave subtle thing in this film is Dr Malcolm in the helicopter with the seat belt... He had 2 female ends and found a way to make it work - just like the dinosaurs did.
Very impatient to watch this along with you :D PS : I'm so glad you kinda fixed the audio in your intro, it's almost not saturating anymore :3 good job !
I got two really good next movies for you """The Time Machine (2002) with Guy Pearce""" also """Driven (2001) with Sylvester Stallone""" When are you continuing Lord of The Rings?
Your reactions are always epic. And I'm morally required to give you the following dialogues that weren't in the script. HAMMOND: Are the children alright? GRANT: Well, they were abandoned by a lawyer and then attacked by a T-Rex that almost drowned them in mud while crushing them with the car and Lil' Timmy got kicked off a cliff and into a tree and almost got squelched by the car againvand stampeded and electrocuted and died and CPRed back to life and sprained his ankle and almost knocked out by a freezer and nearly impaled and also Lex is covered with dino snot, sooooo... HAMMOND: ....... GRANT:........yeah, the kids are fine. HAMMOND: Oh thank god.. REXY: BEHOLD THE GLORIOUSNESS OF ME, THE MOST APEX PREDATOR THAT EVER APEX PREDATORED. (MY EYESIGHT IS INCREDIBLE ACTUALLY AND STANDING STILL MAKES IT EASIER TO CHOMP) BEHOLD MY AWESOMENESS AS I AMBUSH MY PREY BY CLOMPING SLOWLY AND WITH EVER-INCREASING VOLUME IN THEIR DIRECTION WHILE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS SO A---HEY WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO? GRANT: Get the gun! SATTLER: I can't get it unless i move! GRANT: Timmy, get the gun! Bring it to me quick! LIL' TIMMY: (*immediately shoots himself in the face*) But he somehow survives this because he's got military grade plot armor and one-liners. Not like it was going to be helpful anyway; he can't shoot his way out of a paper bag because he shot 4 bullets through a plate glass window at a dinosaur that was literally 12 inches from his face and didn't manage to hit the damn thing a single time.
Oh man I clicked on this fast! Born in 1990, saw this in theaters, had all the action figures, and all the video games. Great blockbuster film; full of spectacle and wonder in the first half, and then a straight up disaster film the second half. P.S. Two moments in this movie I always wait for: - The "Welcome to Jurassic Park" scene will always make me tear up. From John Williams score to the visual magic of it all, and my childhood, always gets me instantly. - Laura Dern does the most incredible horror scream when the T-Rex is chasing them in the jeep. It's so damn good! And it's not the easiest thing to do as an actor.
Even if this wasn't your first viewing of jurassic park, i appreciate the energy Thank you for this reaction, not one I'll enjoy again solo but i hope you get the audience you deserve because it was entertaining as hell! Much love I hope i come back for a lol review and that you get coin from it
I remember being a dino nut when I was real little, and my mom let me watch this because she thought it was a kid's movie 😂 I'm 30 now and the raptor sounds still put me in alert mode.
Still one of my fave movies, a lot of ppl think of it like a kids movie😂 it’s a crazy experience. A park that goes off the rails but in the most extreme way! Lmao.
This is the first time I've ever watched ur channel and bro you have a knack for this. Between your love for the movie and you're wackiness haha, keep going much love
Hi DevinG Tv, I was forturnate to see Jurassic Park when it first came out in 1993 in Mexico City while visiting my mother in law. (we also saw Snow White 1939 on the same visit). I love this movie, it's thrilling, inspirational, Hilarious and a good jump scare pic all rolled into one. First seeing the dinos made me cry. I've always contended that film should show us things we wouldn't ever see otherwise. Spielberg has proven himself to be a master of timing and involving his public in the human drama behind the 'monster' movie. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us. Jacques Mexico
I was 9 when it came out. Saw it 3 times in theaters. Then the sequels. I have had to see them all in theaters. It's tradition at this point of the game
@@NatalieStraub-ud7fw I remember seeing it in 3d for the 20th anniversary too. This, Ghostbusters, star wars and Harry Potter are my favorite franchises
I saw this in 1993 opening weekend at 11 years old. My local cinema has 20 screens, and they had JP on a staggered schedule, and they showed ONLY Jurassic Park for the entire Friday, Saturday and Sunday... and they were still sold out. Somehow, my Dad (RIP) got hold of 4 tickets... and me (11), my sister (16) and our two besties who were the same ages as us at 11 and 16, and also a brother-sister duo, went to see it together. My Dad also gave us £20 each, which in today's money is close to £100 each. And though today, the lobby of the cinema is different to back then as it has been overhauled and sterilised, I can still see the original lobby with its thick blue carpet and purple walls,, and the entire Jurassic themed decorations of the place dotted with the old widescreen TVs and JP decorations, showing only the JP trailer on repeat... and playing videogame arcades and air-hockey machines, and the JP music playing through the speakers dotted around the place. The smell of the popcorn and my sister saying not to drink too much coke and lemonade because we'd need to pee half way through the movie. And afterward, we had a Maccies before getting a taxi home. I remember it being daylight going into the cinema, and being dark when we came out... so if I remember right, it was about the 8:30pm showing. At 11 years old, this was the most magical weekend ever. --- Trivia: Real Rex had great eyesight... but in the novel it's explained that the amphibian DNA screwed it up. They couldn't figure out how to put that in the movie, so they just made it an in-movie fact that keeping still will save you. The Rex going through the roof of the car being an accident is an Urban Myth. It was planned literally 2 years before they filmed it. The scene when the Rex "saves" them, if you notice... is because the humans were keeping still... and the Raptor was moving. So Rexy grabbed the moving object. Nedry's plan was not to hurt anyone. His plan was to turn off the security systems... and get the embryos... head to the docks... hand over the can of embryos to one of Bio-Syn's plants on the boat... the line from Dodgson's and Nedry's meeting at the start "That's up to your guy on the boat"... and then go back to the control room, and turn everything back on. His plan fails because he didn't study the park's layout and genuinely didn't give a sh*t... so he gets lost and munched. See, he's been underpaid by Hammond... and has been pulled into espionage by Dodgson. If you look at the layout, the fence strength, the workers like Nedry, even Muldoon knowing nothing about Raptors (which leads to Muldoon's death)... scientists not knowing about Frog DNA yet they still used it... signs saying "Keep Windows Shut" in the Dilophosaur paddock... vehicle doors not locking, etc etc etc ... then look at Hammond saying "Spared no expense"... they have cut corners literally everywhere. - - - The point really is that Jurassic is a satire of big business. The entire park is an afterthought. There's Hammond constantly spouting "spared no expense", when he clear has... in every major aspect of the design of the park. - Only 1 guy who can run the computers, and he's been underpaid... causing him to resort to espionage to simply get a paycheque. - A computer system with no backup in case of a crash, and the *entire* park is reliant on that system. - Fences that are only effective if they have a constant supply of power, built in a storm tunnel area of the Pacific Ocean. - The scientists, who are supposedly the best in their field, not thinking about the amphibian DNA they were using. - Windows and doors on the cars being unlocked, meaning tourists can easily get out and wander into the park on foot... and even walk up to the electrified fences... and also the possibility of being blinded and paralysed by Dilophosaur spit. ... and... Muldoon, the park's game warden not knowing jack sh*t about the animals he's meant to be guarding. In the book, there's also a fault with the fences that isn't in the movie. Once the power goes out, the fences are immediately placed onto the emergency power generators... but once the power is back on, they don't automatically go back onto the main power grid... they simply keep using the generators, and eventually, when they run out of power, they just turn off... and because they're no longer attached to the main system, the computer system doesn't flag them as being powerless... and it takes literally hours before anyone realises... and by that time, the dinosaurs are roaming all over the place. The entire park is underthought, underworked and an under-planned death trap. I mean, the windows and doors alone on the cars is enough that they'd have injuries, blindness and definitely have deaths, within the *first day* of opening to the public.
I think you missed something about that 'urban myth'. Yes, it was planned. The glass actually breaking was not, it was due to water overweighting the animatronic
Hot take: Jurassic Park would be a successful park if they stop messing with velociraptors, Utah raptors, deinonychus, hybrids ( looking at you indoraptor, and indominous Rex) or what ever species of raptor you can think of. Every movie with a raptor ends terribly for the people involved.
It would've made more sense if they used chicken or duck DNA to patch the gaps in the Dino DNA. Grant said in the beginning that dinosaurs are more closely related to modern birds than reptiles. Female birds have 2 ovaries: one on the right that is fully developed and functions, and one on the left that is an underdeveloped clump of cells that doesn't do anything for most birds. In many birds (including domestic chickens and ducks), if the right, functional ovary dies due to an injury on infection, the left ovary develops into a testes, resulting in a complete sex change including plumage, call, behavior, and even reproduction. It happens surprisingly often with ducks, if you hang around a duck keeping Facebook group long enough, you'll see people complaining about their ducks "going drake". It's generally considered a negative in poultry because males don't lay eggs and they're territorial, so if you end up with too many, they start to fight. It just would've made so much more sense in the context of the movie and reality.
Sounds good. Only thing I would say is it’s less the movie and more the books they were based on. I still think Michael Crichton did an amazing job, the science in many of his books will have you convinced the stuff he writes about is possible, and I’m not sure if he had a valid reason why he used one instead of the other, but that sounds like a valid point to me.
The reason for other animals besides birds was to help with the look and survivability of dinosaurs. This is one of the reasons why jp dinosaurs aren't true dinosaurs. They're genetically made monsters.
If you read the book it actually explains the use of Frog DNA and you can understand why it was better to use frog DNA rather than chicken DNA. The reason is because Frog DNA is far, far older and more "pure" DNA than a chicken. While Dinosaurs are closer to present day birds, their DNA is very prehistoric like that of a frog, whereas a chicken has been through a LOT of evolution and domesticated breeding -all stuff that messes with the DNA and makes it harder for the CRISPR (gene editing computer) to work with.
Watching this in the movie theater at it's initial release was one of the most incredible experiences. I grew up loving dinosaurs, and this, man this movie is special to me.
5:38 "Paleontologist" is the word you're looking for. 14:14 In 1993 he was younger. 32:21 Laura Dern didn't know that puppet was going to jump out at her and the fear in her face was real.
If you thought Jurassic Park was a kid’s movie, read the novel. The novel can damn near be classified as horror. There’s literally a scene where a group of Compsognathus (small green dinosaurs) eat a baby alive in its crib
The thing about the helicopter on the dig site goes WAY beyond getting some of that dirt back on it.... the dirt in those sites is gritty, and the downblast of the main rotor is hard... and the fossiles are BRITTLE.... So its like sandblasting an ice sculpture... the hardblown dirt will literally scour away centimeters of fossile, destroying it.
The book this film is based on a book written by Michael Crichton. In addition to a fantastic author, he was also a Harvard Graduated Doctor. These films and TV series are based on the works of Michael Crichton -- 'Jurassic Park' ****** 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' 'Twister' 'Sphere' 'Westworld' 'The Andromeda Strain' 'The First Great Train Robbery' 'The Terminal Man' 'Coma' 'Looker' 'Runaway' 'Physical Evidence' 'Disclosure' 'Congo' 'The 13th Warrior' 'Timeline' 'Prey' - TV series, "ER" Yes THAT TV series. Great reaction / review man. As always!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. (The hurricane missed me! Whew!)
I feel like current CGI can be fantastic if utilized right and going for top of the line, like every recent Planet of the Apes movies. But if overused and done cheaply, ya, it often looks even worse than some stuff even decades prior, especially when like 90% of the movie is CGI. A proper mix of practical effects and CGI, paying for high quality, plus a true passion to actually make a good movie, which all too often feels lacking today, can often make an older movie look much better than passionless current stuff.
@@scaryfstball100 The movies are ass, that's true. The current movie dinosaurs have a shine to them that throws me though. It's a problem with a lot of CGI today that I honestly dislike and it's why to me the older ones are better.
Compared to the book, it still remains a kids's film in certain aspects. The book has some pretty horrific moments, it could have been easily an “Alien”, “The Thing” or even "Robocop" movie in terms of violence, if Spielberg hadn't made the film polished for all audiences.
They needed the PG-13 rating for mass audiences. Too much horror and it would have been R-rated. Spielberg’s instincts to transform the book into film were just about perfect, though I’m sure some book fans would disagree (including author Michael Crichton) about some changes.
There are apparently a LOT of people that haven't seen it. I have been having these first viewing reactions pop up for months, ever since I watched LoreRunner do a review of it a long time ago.
Great reaction! ❤Although the park would be so controversial, I would probably visit it once to experience the phenomenon; my luck some form of disaster would arise while I was there putting the visitors in peril. Don’t mess with mother nature 😊
@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer the glass was supposed to break, it wasn't supposed to crack into two pieces. The screams are what you called acting. Good acting is convincing. Spielberg, Stan Winston and Universal would be sued to death if they allowed kids to be endangered. And Spielberg ended a friendship with another director who killed children in a stunt in the 80s Twilight Zone movie.....
@@scottb3034 like I said, the animatronic had a malfunction and the safety glass wasn't supposed to break hence the real screams Spielberg kept it in because they were unharmed
@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer this is absolutely wrong. Spielberg, stan winston and universal would have been sued if they were real and spielberg would be a hypocrite. The glass wasn't supposed to have a small chip that broke off, the bubble was supposed to break from the car. they were acting.
When this movie first came out, there was a reviewer on Christian radio who warned parents that Spielberg said he wouldn't let his children see this movie until they were older because of the intensity. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who heard that review. Sigh🙄
I always point this out coz I can’t help it, but Hammond is played by Sir David Attenborough’s brother Richard. The irony that David’s brother plays a character that is a capitalist counter-point to Davids career as a nature educator is in my opinion an oddly beautiful easter egg in the casting.
The "vision of the T-Rex is based on movement" is total hooey. The author, Michael Critchton, was so annoyed at its inclusion, that in the book sequel "the Lost World", he had a group of guys all die because they tried to stand still when T Rex found them at its nest
The thing was it was included in the og book, however it was because of an unforseen mutation due to the frog DNA and it was only the adult T-rex that had that, the juvenile one didn't have movement based vision. But it is canon in the movie version as a scientific fact.
In the book Grant discovers that the T-Rex has vision-based movement when he freezes in terror and then realizes a few moments later that he isn't dead. The T-Rex has vision-based movement because it's a SLOPPY FACSIMILE of a T-Rex, not an actual T-Rex. The fact the dinos are actually Frankenstein's monsters cobbled together from spare parts is a major part of the book.
The T-Rex in the original book does not attack Grant when he freezes NOT because it has motioned-based vision, but because, like a shark, when it’s prey stands it’s ground and doesn’t not do typical prey behavior (run, cower, etc), it doesn’t know what to do. Which is why the T Rex hits the car, trying to prompt Grant to run. What’s complicated about this, is that we read this scene from Grant’s POV in the book, and he comes to the conclusion that the T Rex has motion-based vision. But in The Lost World, Malcolm explains essentially this entire thing before anyone (but Levine) goes to Island B.
One guy died in that attack, the paleontologist George Baselton. Dodgson and King do not. Crichton wasn't annoyed per se since he was the one that came up with the device in the original novel, he just corrected in the sequel novel because he could. Lastly, T-Rex is correct, it should be T. rex.
@@scottb3034 the funny thing is that Crichton didn't actually correct anything because the whole motion-sight thing was handwaved by it being a mutation in the specific T. Rex from the park and that that mutation just didn't happen in other specimens, because the juvenile T. Rex in the park didn't have motion based sight if I remember correctly. But yeah, a few guys go thinking that is scientific canon and one of them gets eaten.
Robert Muldoon was not Police. Hammond introduced Robert as their game warden, from Kenya, just after the feeding at the paddock. It would have been interesting to see how far the park would have progressed if Nedry didn't sabotage everything. The existing list of issues may have been correctable over time. But would the park have remained under control without Nedry, or is it still a trainwreck just waiting to chomp down? 🤔
If Jurassic park existed, I would go after about 6 months, to make sure they got the bugs and whistles out of it. Here's a flaw by the old man Hammond. He kept telling the three scientists that he "spared no expense". Then why in hell didn't he make a BACKUP security system that can only be activated to shut down all fences, only if the CEO, had to give authorization and not give authorization to Dennis Nedry, the fat guy stealing those embryos who caused all this pain. I would redesign it so after shutting down the fences in the park, you still had to contact a 1-800 number and give strict passwords as the CEO or manager of the park can only authorize the complete shutdown of fences. The old man spared that expense and cost him the park's success, and as the assistant to the old man, the guy who was ripped apart by the velociraptor, said to hammond they needed locking mechanisms on the car doors. That would have prevented T rex from attacking if it got out, which it wouldn't if they had the back up security system from an outside source.
Saw the title and started laughing from trauma. I was taken with parents to go see this in theater when I was 7. We had to leave during the kitchen scene. I was hysterical. Was lightly teased about having a velociraptor fear for years. When *mild spoiler?* RE2 came out and the school kitchen scene with the dogs happened, we realized I was just terrified of stainless steel industrial kitchens! Lol handled Raptors like a champ in all other movies.
The movie: Maybe not for kids?
The book: Holy shit, this is hardcore.
It's so dark
I don’t know about the movie not being made for kids, I think my dad watched it when he was a kid, and he let me watch it when I was younger
Yeah, I read the book as a kid lol
it was my first movie as a kid
It was my favorite movie as a kid. The movie never scared me but Barney the Dinosaur did. When I read the book I was surprised how different it was from the movie but it did explain the water ride at universal Studios in Orlando, Florida at the time.
Malcolm's line about "so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" is ETERNALLY quotable.
Because it's eternally relevant. Scientists constantly worry whether they can instead of whether they should.
The book explains why herbivores were getting sick... Ellie works it out with their help once she found some regurgitated gizzard stones and discovered they were getting sick randomly and then suddenly recovering at regular intervals.
The herbivores were not EATING the West Indian Lilac. But it grew in rocky ground. Rocky ground from which the herbivores were getting gizzard stones to swallow to help them grind food. So the toxic plant was being swallowed alongside the gizzard stones and stored in the gizzard where the toxic juices from the repeatedly ground plant slowly poisoned the dinos until the next time they threw up their gizzard stones to get fresh ones.
I read the book a loooong time ago, before the movie. And you just reminded me of that bit of info.
Wtf is a gizzard stone
@rawtrout3402 A lot of birds and reptiles that are herbivorous have an organ called a 'gizzard' because their teeth/beaks are so specialized for cutting plant material they are wholly unable to chew it, which needs to be done as a vital step in digestion.
The gizzard is a pouch attached to the esophagus, into which the animal swallows small stones, which remain there and do not proceed further down the line. Muscle contractions are then used to make the stones grind into each other and mulch up any vegetation being swallowed as sort of surrogate teeth and chewing.
Once these 'gizzard stones' are worn smooth by the action they are no longer functional and get thrown back up so the animal can replace them.
@@GuukanKitsunethank you; that was fascinating!
@@GuukanKitsune me when I spread misinformation on the internet
Thing you miss watching it now.....When I saw it in the theater the T-Rex roars shook the whole building and everyone was covering their ears...Added to the real feeling of it.
I was 13 and my jaw was on the floor. Loved it!
@@dtm8602 same!
I screamed.
That must have been amazing to experience! It puts into perspective my own sentiment that I could never watch Oppenheimer at home with the same impact as it had at Imax.
I forget what I was seeing but it shook the next theatre too.
A Flea Circus is where you have miniature trapezes, highwires, bicycles and stuff that are mechanically moved, and the viewer just has to imagine that he sees fleas doing it. That's the definition. Everybody knows that they're being conned, but they play along. Kinda like Pro Wrestling or Roller Derby.
Honestly if I saw that I would just be impressed by the creativity and mechanics of it all 😂
Or for the real deal, there is mouseville, down Florida way.
Roller Derby?
Have you ever BEEN to a roller derby? A friend of mine did it for years -- those ladies are not faking anything.
@@zammmerjammer I'm not saying that the violence is fake. I'm saying that the final outcomes, during the times that I watched Derby on TV, were obviously scripted. That timeframe is a while ago. 1970s-1990s. I just now did some internet lookups, and apparently since 2003 or so the scripted outcomes have been done away with and it's a legit, competitive sport. If so, great. Glad to hear it. Since I haven't followed the "sport" for a long time, I was unaware of the change.
I looked it up. Yes, there are or were fleas used at one time, but today, they mostly use mechanical gizmos.
I can assure you, most archeologists make very little money and have other jobs teaching or working in museums. Great reaction.
My husband saw this opening night in theater, and he still says it was the best movie experience he ever had. When the first dino was revealed, the whole theater went “WOAH” and just chattered till the next scene.
I saw in theater as well. So glad the commercials didn’t blow anything because the first dinosaur blew me away as well.
The billionaire John Hammond is played by Richard Attenborough, the older brother of famous David Attenborough whose narrated literally HUNDREDS of nature documentaries over the past 5 decades.
Do you reckon he brags to David about his dinosaur island “David you may have filmed every animal on earth but I had an island with dinosaurs on it I held a baby T rex “
Make that 7 decades, buddy.
How did I not know this?! That’s awesome 😂
What I've learned from this: David Attenborough, who's narrated hundreds of nature documentaries, is the younger brother of the famous actor Richard Attenborough.
in my opinion hes a legend just like his brother, may he RIP.
I love when people go into Jurassic Park thinking it's a kids movie, the book was straight up horror 😂😂
I finished reading it a few weeks ago. still thinking about a literal BABY being eaten by a bunch of dinos.
@@wht-rabt-obj Raiders, Temple of Doom…Spielberg is not for small children….

Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..." 🦖
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "Must GO FASTER!" 👽
Fun Fact - The Velociraptors in the movie are not Velociraptors, they are actually Deinonychus. They went with the name Velociraptor because it sounded scarier. Velociraptor was only about 2ft tall.
They are actually more akin to Utah raptors which weren’t actually discovered until the year the movie released. Which gave credibility to the raptors appearance in said movie
Some of them are murder turkeys yes . There have been a few species found that are about the size of a human.
They had feathers too in reality
@@garretthorsch8143 well I guess you could say they're a mixture between deinonychus and utah raptor. Deinonychus was about 5 foot tall, and Utah raptor was about 7+ feet tall. As a paleontologist, I still love the film with it's fraction of issues. However, I still can't forgive the perfect skeleton being dug up in the desert in the very beginning, 😊.
@@garretthorsch8143 Utahraptor wasn't discovered until the week after the movie premiered. The raptors are quite decent for a 1980's Deinonychus, only a bit large, but, a common mistake, as Deinonychus being "man-sized" was quite often understood as being as tall as a man.
anyone else notice that Sam Neill's characters last words in The Hunt for Red October were " I would love to have seen Montana" and he's introduced in this movie in Montana?
Ikr?
Damn! I've seen BOTH movies dozens of times, and I never put those two together!
Bouradin survives in the book, btw, they only killed him off in the movie in the place of another seamen who's name I forgot. You can only have so many star actors.
@@BlackEpyon never read the books
@@adamskeans2515 I haven't read Jurassic Park either. Hunt for Red October was a really good book.
@@BlackEpyon the book was ok, but the movie was better
Some facts....
Sam Neill (Alan Grant) was 46 years old in the first movie. Laura Dern (Ellie Sattler) was 26. They were portrayed as working together and also more romantically involved. Laura Dern complained about this point, saying he was too old to be believed to be her boyfriend (that might be why they weren't married in the series). However most people considered her looking older than 26 and he looking younger than 46.
In the movie Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm) was flirting with Ellie. In real life she started dating him when they met on the set for this movie. At the time Jeff was 41 (only 5 years younger than Sam Neill, whom she thought to be too old for her character)
She was 23 actually during filming. The film opened when she was 26.
@@elroymartinezjr that is definitely not correct. The movie was shot in Fall 1992 not 1990 and the movie was released summer 1993.
@@scottb3034 You’re right, I meant pre-production, which still accounts for work on the film. 25 months before filming. Even then articles states she says 23. So mostly pre-production then into filming. She was technically 23 when cast.
Well yes, she got older so started whining about things that might be a problem now, so she'd have that victim card to play. Pathetic.
I thought they were the same age. It was only when I looked them up the other day while watching Jurassic World Dominion that I found out they are 20 years apart. They still look the same age. He's aging well. Her, not so much.
"Must go faster. Must go faster..." -Jeff Goldblum
first instance, you did just watch him say it in Independence Day.

I noticed that too! I watched INdependence Day yesterday with a friend. I love how he has his own continuity. LOL
Stealing my comment I see? Lol
We were all brought up being awed by the T rex, but did you know that paleontologists surmise that Triceratops won most of their battles vs T rex!
@Devin for so many of us the scene where Dr Grant sees a Dino for the first time was the same joy we had who saw this in a theater. John Williams really is the greatest scorer of films and memories in the history of film.
I have told this story on other reactions to this movie, but I can’t help it. It delights me and I hope others get a giggle.
After this movie was popular, my dad recommended to my mom that she read the book because it’s very different (both are great).
Now. My mom was a teacher and she had to attend this boring personal development day. She’s always keen to learn new stuff and do some of them she really enjoyed.
But this particular seminar was in a big stuffy auditorium where the presenter just read his slides out loud to about a hundred people for a couple of hours in a monotone voice. It was also on a program my mom was already certified in, if I remember correctly. Basically, the definition of boring.
So, hidden in the crowd of listeners, mom sneaks out the book to read. She gets to Nedry’s death, which is very graphic in the book (Book Spoilers: “he realized he was holding his own intestines and prayed it would all be over soon.)
So mom, who is a very sheltered sweet lady who doesn’t watch violent tv and is quite squeamish, read that death scene. She was so engrossed that she forgot where she was and shrieked, “OH MY GOD!” in the middle of this boring lecture surrounded by like a hundred of her peers.
Her best friend was sitting next to her and started laughing her butt off, which made everything worse.
I love that image so much because my mom is so sweet, shy, and a rule follower. I think of it every time I see that scene.
Your mum sounds like a gem haha
Sidenote: that's one of my favourite scenes in the book, it always stuck in my mind due to how visceral it is.
Omg that's amazing!!

During the T-rex scene. Please remember that these are CHILDREN. They don't yet have the necessary knowledge to even BEGIN to navigate the situation they are in. Most adults wouldn't if we're being honest.
Most kids wouldn't be dumb enough to wave a powerful flashlight around when there's a towering dinosaur next to the car.
@@Bluesit32 Not back then, but today they would be dumb enough to do this, because every generation of kids somehow got dumber than the one before them!
For younger people today, they probably have a hard time grasping just how much of a blockbuster this movie, was in terms of its effects. No one had seen anything even remotely like it.
I grew up in the 1950's, and up until JP, dinosaur effects were either done with jerky stop-action clay animation (as in the 1933 King Kong) or they would photograph a Gila Monster up close from a low angle, then project giant-sized it in the background with the actors running around screaming the foreground. Even at the best, crude.
I remember simply being blown away when seeing the trailer for the time, when we see the brachiosaurus.
This movie (and the book of the same title written a few years prior) was for many of the public, their first introduction to the "dinosaur Renaissance" which had begun in the 1960's. This was a 180-degree shift in understanding these critters, no longer thinking of them as sluggish dim-witted cold-blooded reptiles but as active often-warm-blooded intelligent animals.
(Part of this was finding out that dinos as a class didn't simply go extinct due to these negative traits but were wiped out by a meteor/asteroid strike 66 million years. And also understanding that birds are not just directly descended from dinos but ARE also dinosaurs. With the raptor class of the theropods being their closest relatives.)
This movie was the first time I (and most people) had seen what we now know as the correct stance of the T-rex. Used to be portrayed as upright like a prairie dog, instead of its body somewhat parallel to the ground. (The T-rex had the highest bite force of any known animal, made possible by its massive jaw muscles. But these weigh so much, the weight had to be counterbalanced in part by reducing the arms down so much.
Also the first time the brachiosaurus was depicted with its tail out horizontally (apparently used in whip-fashion as a means of defense) instead of dragging in mud of a swamp.
Archeologists are NOT rolling in dough. Many of the people on a dig are volunteers. Museums typically are outbid - by a lot - by private collectors so yes, the fossils can be sold, sometimes for a great deal of money. But I would think this $ only applies to the MOST complete skeletons, which are valuable because they are so rare.
I could imagine how excited you were seeing something like this 50’s. I bet the theater was jam packed
In the open clip in the Badlands, they are shown simply brushing away loose dirt about the bones, which are arranged as if the animal had been covered over right after it died. Most times they only find individual bones or bone fragments. But the bones are encased in the rock. They had to use dental picks to gently scrape away the rock from the bones. Takes hours and hours.
It is estimated there are some 40,000,000 fossils that have been found, of which perhaps a million or so have been "documented." Vast numbers are simply left as they were dug out of the ground sitting in museums with some of the most important finds when someone goes into the racks and takes a serious look at a fossil lying around for decades.
In the movie, Dr. Grant (and Timothy) are saying the plant-eating dinos, the herbivorous ones, are safe. Not necessary. The most dangerous animal in all of Africa is considered the hippos, which are extremely territorial. And while cows are docile, unneutered male cows, bulls, will gore you to death.
"Wont find a dinosaur in your backyard" You need to watch The Lost World: Jurassic Park next
Saw this with my girlfriend of the time on release week. All the kids in the cinema were screaming their heads off for most of the film 😂😂😂
No idea who told you that. I remember when the movie came out. My sister took her 6 year old boy to see the movie. I told her it wasn't for kids, that she should go see Free Willy, that was showing in the same theatre. She said that he loved dinosaurs, that he would be all right. After the very first scene, where they kill the first guy, they walked out. They really loved Free Willy.
That was one of my favorite scenes as a kid is the funny part. Loved raptors more than the rex
I saw this when I was a kid and I loved it, but I used to watch raiders of the lost ark when I was 6 so I guess we're all different.
I did love free willy though
I always thought it was a horror movie, turns out it's practically everything. Adventure, comedy, horror, Romance, drama, sci-fi, with a heavy dose of themes
Such an amazing movie. The first three Jurassic Park movies were a huge part of my childhood. The second one is my favorite.
Grant isnt an archeologist. Indiana Jones is an archeologist (study of old human-made things...artifacts and ruins). Grant is a paleontologist (study of old bones). But their finds also go to a museum.
My favorite movie of all-time. Nice to see you enjoying it.
The perfect thing is that when they landed and Grant struggled with the seatbelt, he tied to female parts together and made it work. Later they said they controlled the birth of animals because all dinosaurs were female. Turns out in both case, life finds a way. Such smart film making.
Yes.
May not be a kid's movie, but it was definitely a lot of kid's "First PG-13 Movie."
The kitchen scene scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
Those dinosaurs were too damn smart
@@DevinGtv901 Real Velociraptors were only about the size of turkeys. But there were other raptor species that were about the size of the ones in the movie, such as Deinonychus, and Utahraptor.
I was a computer nerd and had already read the books. I saw the movie a few days after it opened with some friends. We literally finished our finals sophomore year of high school and went to see the movie. Absolutely blew us away. I had seen cgi and animatronics before, but nothing like this.
It doesn't matter how often 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.
Side notes:
The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects.
The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death).
The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds.
The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds.
The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of a fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s).
The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a female horse in heat.
A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart."
Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.
The T Rex in this Film is named Rexy. She was the first T Rex to walk the earth since the extinction of the dinosaurs and appeared in all 3 of the Jurassic World movies
And she still is the Undisputed Queen, of Isla Nublar.
@@CarnytheM-mv5uo damn right

I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. This was not a children's movie, it was for everyone. Just as the park was intended. When CGI was brand new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples... One of the greatest cinematic experiences. Don't forget Spielberg was working on Schindler's List at the same time as this...now that's chaos.
About 15, 20 years back, I looked into islands for sale. I was shocked to find islands for 120,000, 150,000 dollars. Islands were surprisingly relatively inexpensive. Not that there weren't million dollar plus islands. There certainly were. And as you might imagine, those pricier islands were far more desirable. Also, the higher priced islands were already equipped with access to fresh water and electricity, and if you really were rolling in the dough, you could get one with a beautiful beach house on it. I don't know how the market is today, but there was a time that if you had the extra money to put in the work, you could easily have owned your own island. Well, you could have easily owned one even if you didn't have the money to put in the work. Haha. Hmm...makes me wonder. I think I'll go check out island prices today.
Yeah, right until about when hurricane season starts. You better build that house like a bunker!
Dude, you have so much genuine joy and excitement for the movies you watch, it's infectious. I've seen this movie dozens of times but you made it feel fresh. Thanks for the fun!
Seeing this in the theater at 20, I was like a little kid again!! 30+ years later and it's still amazing!
This is one of those rare perfect movies.
Whenever someone asks why I like this movie so much. I tell them "It's not my fault the movie is perfection."

@jasminbreakingbadwalkingde4614 not the one I would have chosen . But enjoy it 🖖
^^^^^^ Titanic is an acquired taste. You either love it or think its a 3 hour snoozer with a predictable ending. Jurassic has a WOW factor that anyone aged 1 to 100 can enjoy.
@clevelandcbi my gf at the time made me see it in theatre's twice. Once probably would have been ok, i really didn't want to go again but did and no hard feelings to her, but it just got my fill of Titanic at 17yo.

"Stop them kids!" Hilarious ; ). Saw this shit in the theater back when I was like 12 or 13. And many times in between.
My sister and bro in law are/were archeologists. They don't really make a lot of money....decent. And if you're an archeologist worth anything, you don't sell what you find. You are mostly working for government entities (for instance, State Park associations, university associations, etc.) or Museums and whatever you find goes into museums or research libraries. After they were out "in the field" for a number of years, they both taught at universities and did consultation work (identifying remains found, objects found, editing archeological related books, giving talks at conferences, symposiums). They got to write papers and small books about their research and finds. So, a decent living, but it's hard to get rich doing it.
As someone who works for the state government, I second that 😂. The government doesn't pay very good. Only the benefits are decent though.
@@SherriLyle80s True, benefits are really good.

@@DevinGtv901 ABSOLUTELY!!!
@@DevinGtv901 My sister and her husband would call Dr. Hammond a "pot hunter" -- someone who does it just to find stuff to sell/to exploit for money. As Jeff Goldblum's character said, they didn't do the work - getting in the dirt and researching, etc., they just took what was already available/done and made it commercially viable.
Definitely not a children’s film. Your intros are so fire man! I like every movie in this franchise. But the first is the best. Thumbs up everybody!!
I loved the editing on this one. Just perfect. Told the story and cut it to a manageable size. Great job to the editor.
Your question of, if Jurassic Park existed, would you visit it? No. If a house cat wanted to, it could do a decent amount of damage to you, a dog could easily maul you to death. We're nowhere near the top of the food chain without technology and ultimately weapons. This movie is not only a good learning lesson in not tampering with things you don't really know anything about, it's also a great movie.
When this released back then, unless you read the book, it could have easily been misconstrued as a kid's movie, just by the cover alone. lol As always, fun reaction, glad you enjoyed it.
Heck no! I wouldn’t even go into a park with lions roaming around with me in a vehicle. 😂
@@TheRealdal I'm right there with ya. When I was a kid, my parents took me to see JAWS at the theater, what they were thinking taking a seven year old there, don't know, but it worked, to this day, I don't swim in the ocean. lol I have some friends that lived in Santa Monica for a bit and anytime I would visit, I would get the typical teasing of only getting my feet wet, that's fine, I'll take the teasing. lol
A few years back, we were at the local zoo, and instead of just checking out all the cool animals, I'm looking at how well they're caged, are the zookeepers armed, etc. I have the utmost respect for nature and those animals. I know my place on this earth. lol
Speaking of cats: McQuarrie island. Look up what cats did to the ecosystem of that place. Hammond was seriously arrogant. He should have been eaten by the Dinos, but Spielberg opted against the traditional penalty for hubris.
A big problem with jurassic park is they straight up ignored modern zoo designs. Things like having the animals on a way lower level with a big moat and wall to separate them and the guests.
It would also be safer if Hammond didn't skimp on programmers and security. "Spared no expense" indeed
@@jgaringan lol spared no expense is accurately stated.
I believe Muldoon knew he wasn’t going to make it, hence why he went forward and told Ellie to go. Split off and be the distraction. I also believe he wanted one for the ride.
Fun fact: These “raptors” in the movie are either Deinonychus or Utahraptors.
Definitely not Utah Raptor. They would be Deinonychus or more accurately Achillobator.
Devin was pissed off at the girl 😂😂
We saw this in the theater on opening weekend. Just before the movie began, the theater Mgr. stood in front of the screen, and advised all the parents who brought young children, that they might NOT want to have them see this movie in the theater, due to the intensity and EXTREMELY LOUD parts of this movie, and they'd be given full refunds if they choose not to. None left. Till the movie began. No, this was NOT a 'Young childs'' movie, though quite a few toughed it out. (I always felt bad for the ones who did, 'cause imagine the nightmare some of them had?).
Still, it was and IS an amazing feat of C.G.I. and a damned good story, with some excellent Actors too!
Lovely 'Reaction' Devin! You've been knocking it outta the park!
:-)
My fave subtle thing in this film is Dr Malcolm in the helicopter with the seat belt... He had 2 female ends and found a way to make it work - just like the dinosaurs did.
*If you enjoyed the reaction please hit the like button. That helps out the channel tremendously. Thank you so much for watching!*
Very impatient to watch this along with you :D
PS : I'm so glad you kinda fixed the audio in your intro, it's almost not saturating anymore :3 good job !
I got two really good next movies for you """The Time Machine (2002) with Guy Pearce""" also """Driven (2001) with Sylvester Stallone"""
When are you continuing Lord of The Rings?
Your reactions are always epic. And I'm morally required to give you the following dialogues that weren't in the script.
HAMMOND: Are the children alright?
GRANT: Well, they were abandoned by a lawyer and then attacked by a T-Rex that almost drowned them in mud while crushing them with the car and Lil' Timmy got kicked off a cliff and into a tree and almost got squelched by the car againvand stampeded and electrocuted and died and CPRed back to life and sprained his ankle and almost knocked out by a freezer and nearly impaled and also Lex is covered with dino snot, sooooo...
HAMMOND: .......
GRANT:........yeah, the kids are fine.
HAMMOND: Oh thank god..
REXY: BEHOLD THE GLORIOUSNESS OF ME, THE MOST APEX PREDATOR THAT EVER APEX PREDATORED. (MY EYESIGHT IS INCREDIBLE ACTUALLY AND STANDING STILL MAKES IT EASIER TO CHOMP) BEHOLD MY AWESOMENESS AS I AMBUSH MY PREY BY CLOMPING SLOWLY AND WITH EVER-INCREASING VOLUME IN THEIR DIRECTION WHILE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS SO A---HEY WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?
GRANT: Get the gun!
SATTLER: I can't get it unless i move!
GRANT: Timmy, get the gun! Bring it to me quick!
LIL' TIMMY: (*immediately shoots himself in the face*)
But he somehow survives this because he's got military grade plot armor and one-liners. Not like it was going to be helpful anyway; he can't shoot his way out of a paper bag because he shot 4 bullets through a plate glass window at a dinosaur that was literally 12 inches from his face and didn't manage to hit the damn thing a single time.
One of the best sound tracks ever
Question, would you be interested and checking out this old Tb classic Perry?Mason from the nineteen fifties , it's a very interesting show
Oh man I clicked on this fast! Born in 1990, saw this in theaters, had all the action figures, and all the video games. Great blockbuster film; full of spectacle and wonder in the first half, and then a straight up disaster film the second half.
P.S. Two moments in this movie I always wait for:
- The "Welcome to Jurassic Park" scene will always make me tear up. From John Williams score to the visual magic of it all, and my childhood, always gets me instantly.
- Laura Dern does the most incredible horror scream when the T-Rex is chasing them in the jeep. It's so damn good! And it's not the easiest thing to do as an actor.

"Is that a f**king robot! 🤣
I remember being a dino nut when I was real little, and my mom let me watch this because she thought it was a kid's movie 😂
I'm 30 now and the raptor sounds still put me in alert mode.
Having grown up with the old depictions of dinosaurs and how T-Rex walked upright, this movie was a such a treat.
Still one of my fave movies, a lot of ppl think of it like a kids movie😂 it’s a crazy experience. A park that goes off the rails but in the most extreme way! Lmao.
This is the first time I've ever watched ur channel and bro you have a knack for this. Between your love for the movie and you're wackiness haha, keep going much love
he thought Jurassic park was a kids movie? oh this is gonna be gooooood.😁
Hi DevinG Tv, I was forturnate to see Jurassic Park when it first came out in 1993 in Mexico City while visiting my mother in law. (we also saw Snow White 1939 on the same visit). I love this movie, it's thrilling, inspirational, Hilarious and a good jump scare pic all rolled into one. First seeing the dinos made me cry. I've always contended that film should show us things we wouldn't ever see otherwise. Spielberg has proven himself to be a master of timing and involving his public in the human drama behind the 'monster' movie. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us. Jacques Mexico
Dr. Malcolm is a professor in Rizzonomics.
I was 9 when it came out. Saw it 3 times in theaters. Then the sequels. I have had to see them all in theaters. It's tradition at this point of the game
Me too! I was 9 when I seen this movie , still my favourite out of all the Jurassic movies 😊
@@NatalieStraub-ud7fw I remember seeing it in 3d for the 20th anniversary too. This, Ghostbusters, star wars and Harry Potter are my favorite franchises
My favorite part is Malcom talking about The Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 😆 🤣
20:34 had me dying. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I saw this in 1993 opening weekend at 11 years old.
My local cinema has 20 screens, and they had JP on a staggered schedule, and they showed ONLY Jurassic Park for the entire Friday, Saturday and Sunday... and they were still sold out.
Somehow, my Dad (RIP) got hold of 4 tickets... and me (11), my sister (16) and our two besties who were the same ages as us at 11 and 16, and also a brother-sister duo, went to see it together.
My Dad also gave us £20 each, which in today's money is close to £100 each.
And though today, the lobby of the cinema is different to back then as it has been overhauled and sterilised, I can still see the original lobby with its thick blue carpet and purple walls,, and the entire Jurassic themed decorations of the place dotted with the old widescreen TVs and JP decorations, showing only the JP trailer on repeat... and playing videogame arcades and air-hockey machines, and the JP music playing through the speakers dotted around the place.
The smell of the popcorn and my sister saying not to drink too much coke and lemonade because we'd need to pee half way through the movie.
And afterward, we had a Maccies before getting a taxi home.
I remember it being daylight going into the cinema, and being dark when we came out... so if I remember right, it was about the 8:30pm showing.
At 11 years old, this was the most magical weekend ever.

Trivia:
Real Rex had great eyesight... but in the novel it's explained that the amphibian DNA screwed it up. They couldn't figure out how to put that in the movie, so they just made it an in-movie fact that keeping still will save you.
The Rex going through the roof of the car being an accident is an Urban Myth. It was planned literally 2 years before they filmed it.
The scene when the Rex "saves" them, if you notice... is because the humans were keeping still... and the Raptor was moving. So Rexy grabbed the moving object.
Nedry's plan was not to hurt anyone.
His plan was to turn off the security systems... and get the embryos... head to the docks... hand over the can of embryos to one of Bio-Syn's plants on the boat... the line from Dodgson's and Nedry's meeting at the start "That's up to your guy on the boat"... and then go back to the control room, and turn everything back on.
His plan fails because he didn't study the park's layout and genuinely didn't give a sh*t... so he gets lost and munched.
See, he's been underpaid by Hammond... and has been pulled into espionage by Dodgson.
If you look at the layout, the fence strength, the workers like Nedry, even Muldoon knowing nothing about Raptors (which leads to Muldoon's death)... scientists not knowing about Frog DNA yet they still used it... signs saying "Keep Windows Shut" in the Dilophosaur paddock... vehicle doors not locking, etc etc etc ... then look at Hammond saying "Spared no expense"... they have cut corners literally everywhere.

The point really is that Jurassic is a satire of big business.
The entire park is an afterthought.
There's Hammond constantly spouting "spared no expense", when he clear has... in every major aspect of the design of the park.
- Only 1 guy who can run the computers, and he's been underpaid... causing him to resort to espionage to simply get a paycheque.
- A computer system with no backup in case of a crash, and the *entire* park is reliant on that system.
- Fences that are only effective if they have a constant supply of power, built in a storm tunnel area of the Pacific Ocean.
- The scientists, who are supposedly the best in their field, not thinking about the amphibian DNA they were using.
- Windows and doors on the cars being unlocked, meaning tourists can easily get out and wander into the park on foot... and even walk up to the electrified fences... and also the possibility of being blinded and paralysed by Dilophosaur spit.
... and... Muldoon, the park's game warden not knowing jack sh*t about the animals he's meant to be guarding.
In the book, there's also a fault with the fences that isn't in the movie.
Once the power goes out, the fences are immediately placed onto the emergency power generators... but once the power is back on, they don't automatically go back onto the main power grid... they simply keep using the generators, and eventually, when they run out of power, they just turn off... and because they're no longer attached to the main system, the computer system doesn't flag them as being powerless... and it takes literally hours before anyone realises... and by that time, the dinosaurs are roaming all over the place.
The entire park is underthought, underworked and an under-planned death trap.
I mean, the windows and doors alone on the cars is enough that they'd have injuries, blindness and definitely have deaths, within the *first day* of opening to the public.
I think you missed something about that 'urban myth'. Yes, it was planned. The glass actually breaking was not, it was due to water overweighting the animatronic
Awesome Movie and Work Bro!!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
major kudos for picking up on the mosquito blood idea so quickly. most reactors dont have a clue what theyre looking at. well done, sir!
Hot take: Jurassic Park would be a successful park if they stop messing with velociraptors, Utah raptors, deinonychus, hybrids ( looking at you indoraptor, and indominous Rex) or what ever species of raptor you can think of. Every movie with a raptor ends terribly for the people involved.
Im jealous about the thickness of your beard. Almost looks like it's glued on. I can see you have a new editor.
Saw this in the theaters when it came out. An unforgettable experience. Great reaction!
Thanks for watching!!
It would've made more sense if they used chicken or duck DNA to patch the gaps in the Dino DNA. Grant said in the beginning that dinosaurs are more closely related to modern birds than reptiles.
Female birds have 2 ovaries: one on the right that is fully developed and functions, and one on the left that is an underdeveloped clump of cells that doesn't do anything for most birds. In many birds (including domestic chickens and ducks), if the right, functional ovary dies due to an injury on infection, the left ovary develops into a testes, resulting in a complete sex change including plumage, call, behavior, and even reproduction. It happens surprisingly often with ducks, if you hang around a duck keeping Facebook group long enough, you'll see people complaining about their ducks "going drake". It's generally considered a negative in poultry because males don't lay eggs and they're territorial, so if you end up with too many, they start to fight.
It just would've made so much more sense in the context of the movie and reality.
Sounds good. Only thing I would say is it’s less the movie and more the books they were based on. I still think Michael Crichton did an amazing job, the science in many of his books will have you convinced the stuff he writes about is possible, and I’m not sure if he had a valid reason why he used one instead of the other, but that sounds like a valid point to me.
Mourning Geckos are almost all female, and reproduce without males.
It’s also funny now because we know T rex had amazing eyesight and probably could have seen then easily not moving from two miles away 😂😂😂
The reason for other animals besides birds was to help with the look and survivability of dinosaurs. This is one of the reasons why jp dinosaurs aren't true dinosaurs. They're genetically made monsters.
If you read the book it actually explains the use of Frog DNA and you can understand why it was better to use frog DNA rather than chicken DNA. The reason is because Frog DNA is far, far older and more "pure" DNA than a chicken. While Dinosaurs are closer to present day birds, their DNA is very prehistoric like that of a frog, whereas a chicken has been through a LOT of evolution and domesticated breeding -all stuff that messes with the DNA and makes it harder for the CRISPR (gene editing computer) to work with.
Watching this in the movie theater at it's initial release was one of the most incredible experiences. I grew up loving dinosaurs, and this, man this movie is special to me.
Just found you. You are one of the sweetest men on reacting on TH-cam and you're so funny. I've subscribed 😊
5:38 "Paleontologist" is the word you're looking for.
14:14 In 1993 he was younger.
32:21 Laura Dern didn't know that puppet was going to jump out at her and the fear in her face was real.
the mismatched seatbelt was an easter egg. 2 female ends tying a knot like the dinos "finding a way"
If you thought Jurassic Park was a kid’s movie, read the novel. The novel can damn near be classified as horror. There’s literally a scene where a group of Compsognathus (small green dinosaurs) eat a baby alive in its crib
The thing about the helicopter on the dig site goes WAY beyond getting some of that dirt back on it.... the dirt in those sites is gritty, and the downblast of the main rotor is hard... and the fossiles are BRITTLE....
So its like sandblasting an ice sculpture... the hardblown dirt will literally scour away centimeters of fossile, destroying it.
60 miles an hour is the velociraptors the T-Rex ran about 25 miles an hour but those big strides can cover a lot of space lol
The book this film is based on a book written by Michael Crichton. In addition to a fantastic author, he was also a Harvard Graduated Doctor.

Great reaction / review man. As always!!

It's nuts how these dinosaur effects look so much better then what they are making current day! I love this movie!
I feel like current CGI can be fantastic if utilized right and going for top of the line, like every recent Planet of the Apes movies. But if overused and done cheaply, ya, it often looks even worse than some stuff even decades prior, especially when like 90% of the movie is CGI. A proper mix of practical effects and CGI, paying for high quality, plus a true passion to actually make a good movie, which all too often feels lacking today, can often make an older movie look much better than passionless current stuff.
They were animatronics in the first movie
The ones today are cgi
I forget who but someone did a pretty good video on the scale framing on this movie compared to the sequels that explains why it looks so much better
That's false considering the dinosaurs look awesome in the recent films. The movies just sucked ass, that's the difference.
@@scaryfstball100 The movies are ass, that's true. The current movie dinosaurs have a shine to them that throws me though. It's a problem with a lot of CGI today that I honestly dislike and it's why to me the older ones are better.
Compared to the book, it still remains a kids's film in certain aspects. The book has some pretty horrific moments, it could have been easily an “Alien”, “The Thing” or even "Robocop" movie in terms of violence, if Spielberg hadn't made the film polished for all audiences.
They needed the PG-13 rating for mass audiences. Too much horror and it would have been R-rated. Spielberg’s instincts to transform the book into film were just about perfect, though I’m sure some book fans would disagree (including author Michael Crichton) about some changes.
You haven't seen Jurassic Park before? Holyyyyyyy shit. This about to be 🔥
There are apparently a LOT of people that haven't seen it. I have been having these first viewing reactions pop up for months, ever since I watched LoreRunner do a review of it a long time ago.
A children's movie? How could anyone think a non animated movie about humans interacting with dinosaurs be anything other than horror?
Great reaction! ❤Although the park would be so controversial, I would probably visit it once to experience the phenomenon; my luck some form of disaster would arise while I was there putting the visitors in peril. Don’t mess with mother nature 😊
Damn he be puttin up some bangers! Devin, youre the best reactor around today youre not a shill

21:32 those were real screams

no, that was acting. they are actors.
movie sets have to abide by safety laws just like everything else.
@@scottb3034 the safety glass wasn't supposed to break but it did and if you look it up, you'll see that those were real screams
@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer the glass was supposed to break, it wasn't supposed to crack into two pieces.
The screams are what you called acting. Good acting is convincing. Spielberg, Stan Winston and Universal would be sued to death if they allowed kids to be endangered. And Spielberg ended a friendship with another director who killed children in a stunt in the 80s Twilight Zone movie.....
@@scottb3034 like I said, the animatronic had a malfunction and the safety glass wasn't supposed to break hence the real screams
Spielberg kept it in because they were unharmed
@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer this is absolutely wrong. Spielberg, stan winston and universal would have been sued if they were real and spielberg would be a hypocrite. The glass wasn't supposed to have a small chip that broke off, the bubble was supposed to break from the car. they were acting.
If there was a real place like Jurassic Park, I ABSOLUTELY would go!
Tyrannosaurus raptor! Had me dying😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
(Exclaims excitedly) had me rolling. But I’m also high 😂
When this movie first came out, there was a reviewer on Christian radio who warned parents that Spielberg said he wouldn't let his children see this movie until they were older because of the intensity. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who heard that review. Sigh🙄
Your reaction to this was so genuine and entertaining, subscribed! 😊
I always point this out coz I can’t help it, but Hammond is played by Sir David Attenborough’s brother Richard.
The irony that David’s brother plays a character that is a capitalist counter-point to Davids career as a nature educator is in my opinion an oddly beautiful easter egg in the casting.
The "vision of the T-Rex is based on movement" is total hooey. The author, Michael Critchton, was so annoyed at its inclusion, that in the book sequel "the Lost World", he had a group of guys all die because they tried to stand still when T Rex found them at its nest
The thing was it was included in the og book, however it was because of an unforseen mutation due to the frog DNA and it was only the adult T-rex that had that, the juvenile one didn't have movement based vision.
But it is canon in the movie version as a scientific fact.
In the book Grant discovers that the T-Rex has vision-based movement when he freezes in terror and then realizes a few moments later that he isn't dead. The T-Rex has vision-based movement because it's a SLOPPY FACSIMILE of a T-Rex, not an actual T-Rex.
The fact the dinos are actually Frankenstein's monsters cobbled together from spare parts is a major part of the book.
The T-Rex in the original book does not attack Grant when he freezes NOT because it has motioned-based vision, but because, like a shark, when it’s prey stands it’s ground and doesn’t not do typical prey behavior (run, cower, etc), it doesn’t know what to do. Which is why the T Rex hits the car, trying to prompt Grant to run.
What’s complicated about this, is that we read this scene from Grant’s POV in the book, and he comes to the conclusion that the T Rex has motion-based vision. But in The Lost World, Malcolm explains essentially this entire thing before anyone (but Levine) goes to Island B.
One guy died in that attack, the paleontologist George Baselton. Dodgson and King do not.
Crichton wasn't annoyed per se since he was the one that came up with the device in the original novel, he just corrected in the sequel novel because he could.
Lastly, T-Rex is correct, it should be T. rex.
@@scottb3034 the funny thing is that Crichton didn't actually correct anything because the whole motion-sight thing was handwaved by it being a mutation in the specific T. Rex from the park and that that mutation just didn't happen in other specimens, because the juvenile T. Rex in the park didn't have motion based sight if I remember correctly.
But yeah, a few guys go thinking that is scientific canon and one of them gets eaten.
@36:30 the shotgun shell jammed it up...in a situation like that he ditched it and bailed
Robert Muldoon was not Police. Hammond introduced Robert as their game warden, from Kenya, just after the feeding at the paddock. It would have been interesting to see how far the park would have progressed if Nedry didn't sabotage everything. The existing list of issues may have been correctable over time. But would the park have remained under control without Nedry, or is it still a trainwreck just waiting to chomp down? 🤔
If Jurassic park existed, I would go after about 6 months, to make sure they got the bugs and whistles out of it.
Here's a flaw by the old man Hammond. He kept telling the three scientists that he "spared no expense".
Then why in hell didn't he make a BACKUP security system that can only be activated to shut down all fences, only if the CEO, had to give authorization and not give authorization to Dennis Nedry, the fat guy stealing those embryos who caused all this pain.
I would redesign it so after shutting down the fences in the park, you still had to contact a 1-800 number and give strict passwords as the CEO or manager of the park can only authorize the complete shutdown of fences. The old man spared that expense and cost him the park's success, and as the assistant to the old man, the guy who was ripped apart by the velociraptor, said to hammond they needed locking mechanisms on the car doors. That would have prevented T rex from attacking if it got out, which it wouldn't if they had the back up security system from an outside source.
Saw the title and started laughing from trauma. I was taken with parents to go see this in theater when I was 7. We had to leave during the kitchen scene. I was hysterical. Was lightly teased about having a velociraptor fear for years.
When *mild spoiler?* RE2 came out and the school kitchen scene with the dogs happened, we realized I was just terrified of stainless steel industrial kitchens! Lol handled Raptors like a champ in all other movies.
The book is very not kid-friendly. They really toned things down to make it appeal to kids.
Of COURSE I would visit a real life Jurassic Park if it existed!! Damn! Who wouldn´t?
That aside, I really love your energy. You were SO invested 😆
Life finds a way
Always!
My favorite movie since I was a year old. Absolutely never gets old.
as far as effects goes, the 90s began with T2, then this film, then independence day, then the matrix. great reaction!
