The thing I loved most about this movie was how it conveyed the feeling that this was a real place going through the dust-up to a grand opening but just not quite there yet. The details like the half-painted walls, the part where Hammond forgot he had lines of his own to say while the show carried on, all those little things added up to convey this amazing scenario to people. That's what I think is Spieberg's true gift, it's the small details.
That's what makes Jurassic Park more special than any of the other films in the series. It was as if the audience was along for the ride visiting the park for the first time. That interactive feeling is just something that can't be recaptured.
This scene is great because it displays Hammond's childlike attitude towards the miracle of science that his employees have achieved, and contrasts with the horrors that await
Hammond is a good guy who just wants to make a dream a reality for so many people but like Dr. Grant said "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions."
@@saylosrelyks8645 Hammond genuinely wanted to see how far mankind could go, and to make exploring the mysteries of the world a reality. Behind the hubris, there was love.

I loved this movie when I was a kid. Now, I am a 35 year old adult and loved this movie even more after understanding everything that I missed as a kid (DNA, Cloning, the ethics discussion of building such a park and many things among others). Truly remarkable film, aged just like fine wine
It can definitely be touched. By the novel. The movie has NONE of Malcom's fantastic, long-winded lectures about chaos theory, unpredictability and attempting to control nature. It is a pale shadow of the brilliant novel. And the novel characters are far more fleshed-out and 3-dimensional. The only thing I like more about the movie is that Hammond is far more likeable and enjoyable than he is in the book.
@@SelectiveApathy82 100%, the movie is amazing but the novel is a ducking masterpiece. Any film based on a book necessarily trims down the source material to fit into 2 hours.
3:26 I never noticed how Hammond comments on the music of the DNA film of all things, and how he's excitingly talking about the final draft of it with bombastic and dramatic marches and timpani drums and stuff. It goes to demonstrate his borderline childlike take on his project, while Grant, Sattler and Malcolm are far more intrigued with the actual science and philosophical implications behind it.
While I don't think it's necessarily good or bad, it's interesting how different his character is in the book. He's still a bit of a whimsical dinosaur enthusiast, but in the books he's money-hungry and excels at salesmanship over all else. For example, in the next scene, he states that he insists on being present when each dinosaur is born. In the books, they complain that he rarely has visited the island and doesn't understand the issues it's facing.
@@patricks9057 his focus on the music in this scene, which many seem to find endearing, certainly points to him caring more about marketing than anything else. He's not experiencing childlike wonder at dinosaurs, he is simply excited to show them his presentation and his park.
I never noticed before but just before Ellie says "where do you get 100,000,000 year old dinosaur blood?" the camera zooms in ever so slightly on the mosquito trapped in amber on the top of Hammond's cane.
Neither did my 7 year old brain but my 35 year old one is asking why is that in the movie? It doesn't add anything. If he literally just said struggled to say automaton and John finished it it would have accomplished the same thing. Add on this movie was for kids as well because it was pg-13 I believe.
It added two things: 1) a bit of humor and 2) it shows how clueless and un-technical the lawyer is, further drilling home the point of how humans are not ready for the technology of dinosaur-resurrection. It mirrors the ineptitude of humans as a whole, and is also a subtle semi-foreshadowing of his death scene -in the sense that his "bathroom humor" of the joke slightly foreshadows his bathroom death scene.

I always found it fascinating how Hammond doesn’t even focus on the aspect of the miracle of bringing dinosaurs back to life. He’s focused on the tour and musical score on the video. He’s a “showman”
@@brandonconstant7226 Very good point, I can see that. This was the pre-opening version for investors, lawyers, scientists, etc, that Hammond was going to meet with.
This cast is just so good, they were the OGs but what's really underrated is the costume department. Could you imagine them wearing anything different? The colors used were perfect.
I always like to imagine an alternate universe where Jurassic Park fixed its issues and opened without further issue. Just imagine Hammond have to stand there all day, every day, reading those lines over and over again. Maybe in the logic of Jurassic World, this happened.
Unlikely as JW is meant to be set after John Hammond passed away and Masrani came to the helm of the company. In fact in JW, all of the attractions (if you can even call them that…) have peaked in terms of their profitability and attractiveness for consumers and the indo was a shake up to all of that, that went wrong.
seeing how many visitors there are in Jurassic world,i would say that there will around thousand of visitors and john will probably get tired saying the same line over and over again,until he pass the job to another employee or something
considering how JW series turned out, I would glardly accept it as an alternate timeline and keep JP, Lost World, and JP 3 as main canon timeline. A man can dream...
Another example of Jon's lack of vision towards the bigger picture outside of the initial presentation and dramatics. He designed this tour and video thinking how entertaining it would be to see the faces of the first group of people watching it, but didn't stop and think about how he'd need to do it every time for the context to work.
That "don't you mean extinct" quip was supposedly originally said by one of the model/animotronic team after seeing some of the early CGI work. Spielberg liked it so much they threw it in.

Just noticed this amazing shot for the first time... when the three of them huddle to together to discuss the cloning process and where Hammond got a full dinosaur DNA sequence, the camera quickly focuses on the amber stone as Hammond walks by. 1:00
And they're discussing the degradation of DNA, and where one would logically get it. At their core, they aren't action heroes. They're scientists, smart people in their respective fields, and even though they are in awe of this place, they still have the wherewithal to think things through. That also gives weight to their doubts during their meal later. That they see the potential for disaster, and urge caution. Fears that are only justified later on.
When watching this as a child, I thought that there was something weird about John Hammond. As an adult, I can't help but see how childish he acts. So reckless, so irresponsible.
Yup. You can physically clone an animal from 70 million years ago with the amber DNA, but to hope that said cloned animal will *behave* exactly the same way in a modern 20th century environment, with a VASTLY different climate, food sources, insects, water, and bacteria than prehistoric Jurassic times is PURE IDIOCY. The cloned animals have no clue what time period they're in, this would be a terrifying and alien world to them. They will be scared, become extremely aggressive and violent, fall ill, die. Jurassic Park would have failed miserably even if Nedry hadn't sabotaged it.
This scene is a nice touch, and makes Jurassic Park very self aware. The visitors are experiencing the majestic creation of dinosaurs in a theatre setting just like we were when it hit the cinemas in 1993.
Watching as a kid: "Gee, John Hammond seems like a sweet old man." Watching as an adult: "Gee, John Hammond seems like a bit of a childish rich idiot."
I implore everyone to read the Jurassic novels by Michael Crichton. They really go in depth on how 'fraudulent' this ride was. The real unethical science was done on the separate island.
Agreed, the Crichton-novels aka the lesser known, even more original Jurassic Park is a great read, and there are numerous differences and left out potential scenes from the film that were great in the book. It is kinda graphic describing certain deaths though.
The saddest part isn't the chaos that happens at the park its the fact if cloning has been perfected to the point they can clone dinos from imperfect samples and frog DNA they could probably clone human organs etc which would be WAY more profitable than some dino theme park/zoo
That actually gets discussed between Hammond and Henry Wu in the book version, at least to the degree of "why authenticate nature when we can make WHATEVER WE WANT?"
Think of the park as a halo product for everything else that can be done with the technology. When Audi built the R8, people would got to a dealer to look at it, and the dealer would try selling them an A4
Fun fact the type of mosquito they put in the Amber for this movie is an elephant mosquito which made a huge mistake because it's the only species of mosquito that doesn't bite
Was virtools a VR development (though graphical dev) was a software for developing things like that, not sure if it'd ever be up to that but I dont think now its even in production anymore, used it for immersive systems dissertation I was doing at University was over 10 years ago now
VR imaging was developed for major research corporations back then, and was primarily analog. The controls were attached to analog sensors that relayed the data to the main computer, while the images were sent to a display worn by the user. There was no head tracking back then, so you couldn't plant yourself inside a strand of DNA and simply look or walk around. It took those 30 years to bring VR to the consumer market, where it was aimed primarily at entertainment, so it needed to be more advanced. It needed higher frame rates, more advanced processors to handle the higher graphics load, and more memory to handle the program load. There is still no telling where VR will be in the next 10 years, or even the next 30.
Definitely dating myself with the reference but about 30 years ago not that long after Jurassic Park had debuted we had a multilevel shopping mall open in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and one of the top floors had an amazing arcade and the centerpiece at the time were some VR games that even for 1994-5 had some very impressive graphics, the lines for them ran about an hour in length and was like that for about the first 45 days the mall was open and even after for a good year or more you had to wait in line a good 20 min or r half hour to have a turn, that’s how mindblowing VR was for people back then
Yes. The book goes into great detail about the how first dinosaurs that were cloned looked very different than what people would expect so the genes were constantly manipulated to create dinosaurs that matched the public's expectation and were more "commercial" and marketable.
Fun fact, this would most likely be the closest we would ever get to having 'real dinosaurs'. Since the genetic information was lost and replaced by minerals during fossilization, having chimera organisms is the closest thing we could replicate. But chances are they wouldn't even resemble the real animal.
I'm a 7th grade Science teacher, and I use this clip every year in my Genetics unit so that my students can see how close to reality science fiction can be, and I have them try to explain why this couldn't happen.
Not that you asked me, but i can atleast give an answer based on my very limited knowledge. While I'm sure that there are more flaws in it than I know of, but the flaws i can point to are: 1) The use of blood preserved inside amber. While I don't know if blood could be preserved for such a long periond of time, I do know that the DNA would have degraded within the first millions of years and could there for not be used to clone dinosaurs. 2) The use of frog DNA to fill the gaps in their DNA. Dinosaurs are much closer related to Birds and Crocodiles than they are frogs, so using frog DNA would likely have caused deformities. 3) As of right now and especially at the time, we did not possess the knowledge to clone and grow an embryo from it's DNA alone, we would at most require something like the sperm from a male animal that lay eggs similar to the dinosaures, aswell as a female of the species. The sperm, (and eggs from the female), could theoretically be altered with the DNA from the dionsaures to result with an actual dinosaur being created. Although I have no knowledge if this has ever been done with any animal species. 4) We currently do not understand genetics well enough for us to be able to just repair damaged DNA. filling in the holes of missing genes would at best be guess work due to the fact that we don't have any way of reading what genes does what and what genes that are missing to complete the code, so filling the gaps with the right parts would be unlikely to do as easy as the novels and films present it. 5) Large animals live in symbiosis with other micro organisms and other tiny creatures that make a home out of our bodies, we need these creatures to survive and so would the dinosaurs. However due to the massive time diffrence between us and them, it is likely that many of the species of bacteria, parasites, etc that the dinosaurs lived with are no longer part of our current ecosystem, since containing pre historic strains of micro organisms would be near impossible on an island, while at the same time it would probably not be possible for the animals to live without them, we would, to my understanding have to modify their genetic code so that they are adapted to the organisms today. Note that I do not hold any form of education withing genetics or biology, most of this is based off of what i have read and hear online. So please take everything i wrote with a grain of salt. I would also like to apologize for my grammer and spelling, as english is not my native tongue.
Micah Winston that’s actually a really good method for teaching sciences. My own teacher did something similar. He’d show us clips of martial arts or sci fi movies and ask us to point out flaws from a scientific standpoint
Laura Dern first came to my attention in "Smooth Talk". Years later, I spoke to a filmmaker who worked on the television play with her. He said he got to chat with her for 20 minutes or so. He was surprised I had heard of the film. I was super jealous. My God she was so beautiful. Still is.
Nothing about this park makes sense. Why an island in central America? Only rich people could go all the way there and Hammond wants everyone to be able to go there?
@@HermitKing731 in the sequel it's mentioned that the park was originally under construction in San Diego but the Isla Nublar site was chosen in the end
One of the things I really liked about the book was just HOW much attention was paid to all the amber mines that InGen was buying up all over the world. Someone even shows up to Grant's dig site to ask him why Hammond and InGen would want THAT much amber, and Grant honestly couldn't answer, because he'd only given InGen some theories about how the parental behaviors of certain dinosaur species, but at the time had no idea what InGen was actually getting up to. We see the one amber mine toward the beginning, and this animation explaining the use for the amber, but InGen had a MASSIVE stockpile of amber just to make the species that were currently alive on the islands.
Genius writing really: They knew they would have to keep the audience engaged during the hugest exposition dump imaginable....just have a cartoon explain everything.
Richard Attenborough is a legend of film but he was just TOO damn genial, eccentric, and childlike to have pulled off the Novel Hammond. I'm glad they took a different route with his character in the film.
It was a smart change to make. In the book he’s just a generic greedy guy who wants money but he’s so much more interesting and nuanced in the movie. He had the best of intentions and wanted to entertain people. But it was misguided.
I have never understood why they just chose frog DNA to complete the sequence interruptions they spotted in dinosaur DNA chains. I am not a geneticist, however to my knowledge there are many other still living reptiles which genetic features are likely to be closer to dinosaurs'. Crocodiles for instance are often regarded as "living fossils". Maybe Nedry was right about Hammond getting cheap on everything...
I think the idea is to fetch an "ancestor" species, seeing how amphibians came before dinos. Using reptile dna might be similar, but it also means more changes were set in stone. I think the idea is something akin to stem cells. Im sure it makes no sense in real science, but thats it i think,
I thought the concept of blood in a preserved mosquito was really easy to get. I remember digging in my garden to find a ball of preserved amber. Never did obviously.
@@LuciusVulpes it could be, there was talk of doing what they did for the woolly mammoth. For dinosaurs yea it’s difficult because it’s there’s no DNA 🧬 to extract
Charlie Dallachie It’s essentially impossible. You’d need a mosquito to consume lots of blood, then happen to get stuck in amber, assuming the blood and amber aren’t contaminated. You’d then need to differentiate the DNA from that of the mosquito, assuming that too much of it hasn’t degraded after millions of years. And filling in the gaps with frog DNA isn’t as easy as it seems, frogs are different from dinosaurs. But let’s assume all that works out - you’d only have the DNA of a single dinosaur.
There's a small detail before that. When he snap changes as soon he saw the brachiosaurus. "We'll make a fortune with this park" he became Hammonds brown nose since this moment and it's even became more obvious during the lunch scene, discuting tickets prices already
@@fabulousfrance I love how Ian Malcolm laughs when he says that, he recognizes as does the audience, the peril, crassness and hilarious irony in that remark.
Movies like JP got me interested in the fundamentals of genetic engineering. When I watched the UNDERWORLD movies, I was prepared for the genetic science applied to these movies.
I just noticed the little animated character narrating is also used at the queue in Velocicoaster in Universal. They put it up on a screen to give riders instructions to use the lockers before getting on the ride. Neat.
I just watch this movie now and I can’t help but feel a big underlying and not talked about factor in this is the danger that corporate espionage and limitations of technology shows. Like yeah Hammond pushed his luck here and was naive but none of this happens if others didn’t want the power he had.
No one talks about how this movie like Jurassic World for the time period it was in 1993 showcases technology that wasn't available then but is subtle enought that it makes sense -self driving cars - tvs in said cars -virtual reality displays
What I don't understand is, why couldn't they fill the gaps with Avian DNA? Why amphibians specifically? I mean by 1993, it was already being accepted that birds are dinosaurs.
"Are...are these characters....uhhh auto...auto erotica?" "Nonono....(JEEZ....dodged a bullet there) we have no animatronics here now, those people are the real miracle workers of Jurassic.....p....*trails off*" *Lawyer man reconsiders career choice....MFW no Prehistoric PussAY!!!.... D:*
No, insects only reached such sizes millions of years before during the Carboniferous. There was more oxygen in the atmosphere and as insects get their oxygen through their skin, they were able to grow much larger on land
Weird how Attenborough‘a Scottish accent kept peeping through unexpectedly, like when he said “Nr DNA!” and “Correct!?” when discussing the system shutdown.
I could imagine seeing this in the theatre and then going to a theme park and having a similar experience, like they perfectly encapsulated that era of theme park ride. some of which are still around, like living with the land in epcot. its not all the dissimilar. i love those old school rides
I always wondered WHY they used frog dna anyway. Was that ever explained? Why not use lizard dna or some other reptile or birds? Why was a frog needed?
I think in the book they used multiple animals. I guess they just used frogs in the movie to simply it. Even in Jurassic World they mention using multiple animal genes.
2:15 I just got an amber heart necklace for a friend of mine from Cozumel, Mexico on a family cruise vacation. Obviously, it has no mosquito inside the heart, but it just brought me back to this.
3:11 - And to think that it was actually the frog DNA that lead to unauthorised breeding in Jurassic Park. This is perfect foreshadowing and helps show that, in filling in the DNA gaps, InGen lost more control of the dinosaurs than they might’ve had they taken the proper precautions with the frogs they were using to fill the DNA sequence gaps.
The thing I loved most about this movie was how it conveyed the feeling that this was a real place going through the dust-up to a grand opening but just not quite there yet.

No no no no. We have no animatronics here. No. Those people are the real miracle workers of Jurassic Park.
Exactly what you’d expect to hear from a real jerk off...”auto-erotica”.
That's what happens when you don't want to get sued by Disney for saying "audio-animatronic".

Maybe he meant female Dino, like a sow is a female cow (I think)

I really enjoyed this part.
I wish it was that easy to bring the dinos =)

Me too
I did but also literally every other scene in this movie
"DI NO DEE EN AY" is such an iconic line that I can repeat it to anyone my age without any context to start a conversation about Jurassic Park

I implore everyone to read the Jurassic novels by Michael Crichton. They really go in depth on how 'fraudulent' this ride was. The real unethical science was done on the separate island.
Agreed, the Crichton-novels aka the lesser known, even more original Jurassic Park is a great read, and there are numerous differences and left out potential scenes from the film that were great in the book. It is kinda graphic describing certain deaths though.
fuck ethics! if we do not progress then we will slide into degradation.
@@hunormagyar1843 what exact novel are you talking about ?
@@conandoyle1740 The exact same that he is.
@@hunormagyar1843 youre talking about the two books?
I read them there wasnt any gore in them lol
It’s funny because the whole idea for Mr. DNA came from a crew member who was just making sarcastic small talk.
The saddest part isn't the chaos that happens at the park its the fact if cloning has been perfected to the point they can clone dinos from imperfect samples and frog DNA they could probably clone human organs etc which would be WAY more profitable than some dino theme park/zoo
Well, there's no reason they couldn't do both. Maybe not the same company, but still.
That actually gets discussed between Hammond and Henry Wu in the book version, at least to the degree of "why authenticate nature when we can make WHATEVER WE WANT?"
Think of the park as a halo product for everything else that can be done with the technology.
When Audi built the R8, people would got to a dealer to look at it, and the dealer would try selling them an A4

Even at four years old, I knew what that T-rex skeleton meant.
What did it mean to you?
@@dirkdiggler7391 that whatever it was, it was going to come for them on the island.
Definitely foreshadowing
Fun fact the type of mosquito they put in the Amber for this movie is an elephant mosquito which made a huge mistake because it's the only species of mosquito that doesn't bite
fun fact, the dinosaurs in the movie weren't real dinosaurs, as those types of dinosaurs haven't been around for at least 100years
3:04 damn VR's are already a thing 30 years ago?
Was virtools a VR development (though graphical dev) was a software for developing things like that, not sure if it'd ever be up to that but I dont think now its even in production anymore, used it for immersive systems dissertation I was doing at University was over 10 years ago now
VR imaging was developed for major research corporations back then, and was primarily analog. The controls were attached to analog sensors that relayed the data to the main computer, while the images were sent to a display worn by the user. There was no head tracking back then, so you couldn't plant yourself inside a strand of DNA and simply look or walk around.
It took those 30 years to bring VR to the consumer market, where it was aimed primarily at entertainment, so it needed to be more advanced. It needed higher frame rates, more advanced processors to handle the higher graphics load, and more memory to handle the program load. There is still no telling where VR will be in the next 10 years, or even the next 30.
Definitely dating myself with the reference but about 30 years ago not that long after Jurassic Park had debuted we had a multilevel shopping mall open in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and one of the top floors had an amazing arcade and the centerpiece at the time were some VR games that even for 1994-5 had some very impressive graphics, the lines for them ran about an hour in length and was like that for about the first 45 days the mall was open and even after for a good year or more you had to wait in line a good 20 min or r half hour to have a turn, that’s how mindblowing VR was for people back then

So the dinosaurs at Jurassic Park are basically genetically mutated frogs with dinosaur phenotypes enhanced to resemble presumed dinosaur structures?
More like imperfect replicas of dinosaurs, essentially a new type of organism
Yes. The book goes into great detail about the how first dinosaurs that were cloned looked very different than what people would expect so the genes were constantly manipulated to create dinosaurs that matched the public's expectation and were more "commercial" and marketable.
Fun fact, this would most likely be the closest we would ever get to having 'real dinosaurs'. Since the genetic information was lost and replaced by minerals during fossilization, having chimera organisms is the closest thing we could replicate. But chances are they wouldn't even resemble the real animal.
Ian Malcolm really is a rockstar
I always loved how Mr. Dna says dinosawrrrs
Him missing his first line gets me every time
I'm a 7th grade Science teacher, and I use this clip every year in my Genetics unit so that my students can see how close to reality science fiction can be, and I have them try to explain why this couldn't happen.
could you explain why this couldn't happen in reality? I'd like to know more
Not that you asked me, but i can atleast give an answer based on my very limited knowledge. While I'm sure that there are more flaws in it than I know of, but the flaws i can point to are:
1) The use of blood preserved inside amber. While I don't know if blood could be preserved for such a long periond of time, I do know that the DNA would have degraded within the first millions of years and could there for not be used to clone dinosaurs.
2) The use of frog DNA to fill the gaps in their DNA. Dinosaurs are much closer related to Birds and Crocodiles than they are frogs, so using frog DNA would likely have caused deformities.
3) As of right now and especially at the time, we did not possess the knowledge to clone and grow an embryo from it's DNA alone, we would at most require something like the sperm from a male animal that lay eggs similar to the dinosaures, aswell as a female of the species. The sperm, (and eggs from the female), could theoretically be altered with the DNA from the dionsaures to result with an actual dinosaur being created.
Although I have no knowledge if this has ever been done with any animal species.
4) We currently do not understand genetics well enough for us to be able to just repair damaged DNA. filling in the holes of missing genes would at best be guess work due to the fact that we don't have any way of reading what genes does what and what genes that are missing to complete the code, so filling the gaps with the right parts would be unlikely to do as easy as the novels and films present it.
5) Large animals live in symbiosis with other micro organisms and other tiny creatures that make a home out of our bodies, we need these creatures to survive and so would the dinosaurs. However due to the massive time diffrence between us and them, it is likely that many of the species of bacteria, parasites, etc that the dinosaurs lived with are no longer part of our current ecosystem, since containing pre historic strains of micro organisms would be near impossible on an island, while at the same time it would probably not be possible for the animals to live without them, we would, to my understanding have to modify their genetic code so that they are adapted to the organisms today.
Note that I do not hold any form of education withing genetics or biology, most of this is based off of what i have read and hear online. So please take everything i wrote with a grain of salt.
I would also like to apologize for my grammer and spelling, as english is not my native tongue.
Wilmer Sandström you watched Isaac Arthur before?
Because it's a movie.
Micah Winston that’s actually a really good method for teaching sciences. My own teacher did something similar. He’d show us clips of martial arts or sci fi movies and ask us to point out flaws from a scientific standpoint
That guy needed a face shield to use the VR computer. Good safety culture
🤣🤣🤣
They have the touch screen?
The guy drilling into the amber wasn't wearing safety goggles.
Lora Dern was gorgeous in this movie.
@vidaa82 JW Dominion?
Laura Dern first came to my attention in "Smooth Talk". Years later, I spoke to a filmmaker who worked on the television play with her. He said he got to chat with her for 20 minutes or so. He was surprised I had heard of the film. I was super jealous.
My God she was so beautiful. Still is.

When a dino eats a warhead.
One of the things I really liked about the book was just HOW much attention was paid to all the amber mines that InGen was buying up all over the world. Someone even shows up to Grant's dig site to ask him why Hammond and InGen would want THAT much amber, and Grant honestly couldn't answer, because he'd only given InGen some theories about how the parental behaviors of certain dinosaur species, but at the time had no idea what InGen was actually getting up to. We see the one amber mine toward the beginning, and this animation explaining the use for the amber, but InGen had a MASSIVE stockpile of amber just to make the species that were currently alive on the islands.
I wish I could go back to when the movie first came out.
This man said auto erotica when he meant to say animatronic.
That always bugged me even as a kid. If a 12 year old me knows that's wierd, what the fuck is up with that lawyer?
Ya think? 🙄
I sometimes wonder if that was an outtake and just messed up the line, but they rolled with it anyway. xD
Or automatons.
this movie was so ahead of its time its insane.
Genius writing really: They knew they would have to keep the audience engaged during the hugest exposition dump imaginable....just have a cartoon explain everything.
In this parallel universe, colonel sanders created dinosaurs.
And deep fried them.
2:27 "Using sophisticated techniques.."
You mean drilling a hole and sticking a needle in? Yeah, real sophisticated.
Shut up nerd lol
Richard Attenborough is a legend of film but he was just TOO damn genial, eccentric, and childlike to have pulled off the Novel Hammond. I'm glad they took a different route with his character in the film.
I've heard somewhere that book Hammond is angry and he dies by eaten up by small Dino's compies
It was a smart change to make. In the book he’s just a generic greedy guy who wants money but he’s so much more interesting and nuanced in the movie. He had the best of intentions and wanted to entertain people. But it was misguided.
I’m here because of an Abbott episode 😂😂
Me too!!
Same😂
I would argue that this scene is one of the greatest in film history. Because nobody is watching this half way through and leaving.
I have never understood why they just chose frog DNA to complete the sequence interruptions they spotted in dinosaur DNA chains.
I am not a geneticist, however to my knowledge there are many other still living reptiles which genetic features are likely to be closer to dinosaurs'. Crocodiles for instance are often regarded as "living fossils".
Maybe Nedry was right about Hammond getting cheap on everything...
I think the idea is to fetch an "ancestor" species, seeing how amphibians came before dinos. Using reptile dna might be similar, but it also means more changes were set in stone. I think the idea is something akin to stem cells. Im sure it makes no sense in real science, but thats it i think,

As a kid I was always confused with this scene.
I thought the concept of blood in a preserved mosquito was really easy to get. I remember digging in my garden to find a ball of preserved amber. Never did obviously.
But as an adult it makes a lot of sense, even if it's not actually possible.
@IWatchWeirdVideos yea it makes sense now, back then I just saw train sounds and dinosaurs (at 4-5)
@@LuciusVulpes it could be, there was talk of doing what they did for the woolly mammoth. For dinosaurs yea it’s difficult because it’s there’s no DNA 🧬 to extract
Charlie Dallachie It’s essentially impossible. You’d need a mosquito to consume lots of blood, then happen to get stuck in amber, assuming the blood and amber aren’t contaminated. You’d then need to differentiate the DNA from that of the mosquito, assuming that too much of it hasn’t degraded after millions of years. And filling in the gaps with frog DNA isn’t as easy as it seems, frogs are different from dinosaurs. But let’s assume all that works out - you’d only have the DNA of a single dinosaur.
I like how relaxed the lawyer is, he's just lovin' it.
There's a small detail before that. When he snap changes as soon he saw the brachiosaurus. "We'll make a fortune with this park" he became Hammonds brown nose since this moment and it's even became more obvious during the lunch scene, discuting tickets prices already
@@fabulousfrance I love how Ian Malcolm laughs when he says that, he recognizes as does the audience, the peril, crassness and hilarious irony in that remark.

The frog lizard and bird hybrid dna is what made the dinosaurs different from the fossil counterpart ancestors
Birds...are dinosaurs
Mr DNA was a great visual way of explaining the DNA concept that was a bit complicated (for the layman) in the book.

As a kid, I recognized the animation of the miners getting to the Amber as being similar to Rugrats. They must have used the same animation studio.
"Virtual reality", well it took me 20+ years to get that.
Nothing like the first time I saw this in a cinema hall. Iconic !!
Autoerotica?! 😂 Bad lawyer! **Bonk**
Movies like JP got me interested in the fundamentals of genetic engineering. When I watched the UNDERWORLD movies, I was prepared for the genetic science applied to these movies.
After all these years I finally see where Microsoft found its stupid idea for that damn paper clip for their Word app.
I just noticed the little animated character narrating is also used at the queue in Velocicoaster in Universal. They put it up on a screen to give riders instructions to use the lockers before getting on the ride.
Neat.
I just watch this movie now and I can’t help but feel a big underlying and not talked about factor in this is the danger that corporate espionage and limitations of technology shows. Like yeah Hammond pushed his luck here and was naive but none of this happens if others didn’t want the power he had.
No one talks about how this movie like Jurassic World for the time period it was in 1993 showcases technology that wasn't available then but is subtle enought that it makes sense

What I don't understand is, why couldn't they fill the gaps with Avian DNA? Why amphibians specifically? I mean by 1993, it was already being accepted that birds are dinosaurs.
"Are these characters auto...erotica?" lol!

I always though mosquitoes in the Cretaceous period would have been the size of a falcon. I mean everything was bigger back then.
No, insects only reached such sizes millions of years before during the Carboniferous. There was more oxygen in the atmosphere and as insects get their oxygen through their skin, they were able to grow much larger on land
Weird how Attenborough‘a Scottish accent kept peeping through unexpectedly, like when he said “Nr DNA!” and “Correct!?” when discussing the system shutdown.

AWESOME DNA HOOK SCENE IN JURASSIC PARK 1993 FILM !!!!
My favourite movie scene ever. Just can't beat it.
I could imagine seeing this in the theatre and then going to a theme park and having a similar experience, like they perfectly encapsulated that era of theme park ride. some of which are still around, like living with the land in epcot. its not all the dissimilar. i love those old school rides
I had the experience in 2007 at Jurassic Park in Universal Florida
0:08 A great shot full of serious foreboding if ever there was one. Love it!
The 90's ... what an era for movies ... of any kind ... I guess.
I always wondered WHY they used frog dna anyway. Was that ever explained? Why not use lizard dna or some other reptile or birds? Why was a frog needed?
I guess it was to justify how dinosaurs were capable of changing sex.
Yeah it doesn’t make sense to use amphibian DNA when reptiles like crocodiles were around at the same time.
I think in the book they used multiple animals. I guess they just used frogs in the movie to simply it. Even in Jurassic World they mention using multiple animal genes.
Nobody knew it but the beginning of the tour video was foreshadowing Maisie Lockwood
The music for this film was a 10/10

2:15 I just got an amber heart necklace for a friend of mine from Cozumel, Mexico on a family cruise vacation. Obviously, it has no mosquito inside the heart, but it just brought me back to this.
3:54 ---- How did I ever miss that? 😆
3:11 - And to think that it was actually the frog DNA that lead to unauthorised breeding in Jurassic Park. This is perfect foreshadowing and helps show that, in filling in the DNA gaps, InGen lost more control of the dinosaurs than they might’ve had they taken the proper precautions with the frogs they were using to fill the DNA sequence gaps.
