Fun fact: Julianne Moore's character, Sarah Harding, is the daughter of the veterinarian who was caring for the sick Triceratops in the first film, Gerald Harding.
@@tbirdUCW6ReAJ Yes, the character of Jessica Harding from the game is supposed to be Sarah's younger sister. When the game was made back in the day it was meant to be considered part of the official movie canon, but the Jurassic World movies have since ended up superseding it. Dr. Harding also looks different in the game simply because they were unable to get the rights to use Gerald R. Molen's likeness.
I had this very cool moment when going to see this movie opening weekend. My sister's and I got into the showroom a bit later than usual so it was fairly full, so one of the few areas we could find was about I think 4th row on the floor. So we sat somewhat towards the center as there was by happenstance an Asian guy holding 2 seats for his either family or friends as they were getting snacks. So anyways, we sat down and about 5 mins or so later the 2 friends came and took their seats and I ended up talking with one of them about the movie and Dinosaurs and he had brought up Godzilla and kinda how if a Dinosaur was loose among the public it might be like that lol. So when the scene came up with the Asian group running in fear from the T-Rex, both he and I leaned fwd a bit and both looked at each other and freaking cracked UP LOL!!😂😂 It was just one of those movie fan connection moments which was great! I hadn't ever known any of the 3 before. I love when ppl connect over movies.☺
Yes, but if Sara had not brought the baby t-rex, he might have survived the movie. Sara IMO is as selfish as the Imgen guy. Maybe not for money, but she acted as if whatever she believed in, was more important than the lives of anyone else.
@@granadosvm I mean we can have a philisophical debate on if a human life is truly worth more then that of a baby T rex. Humans tend to asume their lives are more superior then any other life form, but is that in fact a fact? Also the baby T rex was hurt to a point it would die, because of a human. It's only right if humans try to fix that mess in return. The baby rex never asked to be a thing. Messing with genetics brought forth it's parents, and than the baby was born minding it's own buisness. Then another human shows up, injures it, captures it, so he has a chance to murder or capture it's father. Maybe that baby rex life was important enought to take chances, to take risks. Also if Eddie had not gone to the island he would have survived the movie. They knew up front what happend in the first movie, and what place they where going too. If he had left after tying and tossing the rope properly and ignoring the car, he could have survived. If that hunter had not hurt that baby T rex to that level so other humans where left moraly compelled to help the baby survive in exchange, eddie could have survived. the truth is several people and several choices led to Eddie's death, including his own. If they had decided to put their camp somewhere not near a cliff so they could not be pushed over and thus would not need eddie's help to begin with, Eddie could have survived. You cant just blame Sarah alone for that happening.Thats to black and white a view on this. A whole lot of people and decisions where involved in getting this result to transpire.
@@amberanime in the deleted scenes Roland wasn’t the one to hurt the trex, it was actually Peter Ludlow being clumsy. As for the moral implications I have no moral obligation to risk the lives of other people to save the single life of a creature that shouldn’t exist. Also Nick Van Owen should have been held responsible for the deaths of everyone on the island.
@@amberanime We can have a debate about lives being as important regardless of species, but Sara doesn't just risk herself, she risks others' (and die) without asking their opinion. I don't have a problem with her valuing the life of a t-rex as much as her own. I have a problem with her never expressing remorse than others die for her decision. That's why I think she is selfish.
I think roland is such a cool character for this movie. Hes not good, or bad. He just wants to do what he loves, but seeing his friend die was his breaking point
That scene was so Bram Stoker-ish except there the Good Count isn't roaming the decks in this one. Neither are pack-animal feeders like some of the spit-shooting li'l dino's. So, what happened to the crew? Did they all run into the mouth of Mama T-Rex? Was she hiding in their bunks and gobbling them when they turned in? But - considering film history - if THIS was the most egregious fault of this film, fine. I think the annoying brat of the never-listen daughter was problem for my enjoyment.
@@BuffaloC305 It's been speculated that velociraptors got onto the deck and ate the crew but then later got swept overboard before it reached San Diego.
@@luckypunfire6263 it was the Rex. The film storyboard shows the Rex breaking out of the cage he was in on the deck and the crew trying frantically to restrain him. They fail and all of them were either maimed or eaten.
You notice the bitten off hand holding the button, so presumably someone baited him back in but didn't make it back out again (except for his hand getting hurled clear).@@UtopiaBlue68
@@67Daidalos That would be epic! She would get so much out of it. But, I think she needs to watch a few B horror films with the usual cliches that we all know first as a warm up, such as The Evil Dead films and the Scream films....
28:33 the guy who gets eaten is David Koepp, a screenwriter and he co-wrote Jurassic Park as well as The Lost World among dozens of other movies. He's listed in the credits for this movie as "Unlucky Bastard"
Regarding the dead ship crew: there was a discontinuity in editing where they originally had some velociraptors stowing on board and killing the crew. But that was cut from script but they decided to keep the massacres aftermath. I think we're meant to assume there's a large hole in the bridge where the T-Rex killed the pilot and a dying crewman was able to trap the T-Rex again when it went back into the hold. Need to do some mental gymnastics to get there, but that's what happens with continuity errors. Anyway, can't beat the OG, but still loved this movie. Twice as violent, twice as dark, twice as T-Rex. I watched this movie too young and still get dinosaur nightmares. Love it.
Thank you for this comment!. Even the first time watching this as a kid I was like, "Wait, what??" at that scene... They give you the contextual clues and it makes even less sense. The crewmates hand on the control implies the Trex got out, ate everyone, then they lured/led it back into the hold, but how did the dead crewmate then close it back? Spielberg is usually very good at environmental visual storytelling so its nice to finally have an explanation for why this scene didnt work, to put it bluntly.
Someone said it, but thanks for the comment! I assumed something like that was likely the case. Besides...I don’t kind a few mental gymnastics! Better that than the actual gymnastics scene in the film 🙂
It was actually taken from the first book, like alot of scenes were in this film, about Raptors being on board. In the first novel Dr. Grant sees Raptors on the cargo boats leaving Jurassic Park for the mainland.
My absolute favorite dinosaur fact- the weapon on stegosaurs' tails is now officially called the "Thagomizer" after a cartoon in Far Side that Gary Larson drew. In the cartoon, a cave-man is doing a presentation and names it Thagomizer after his caveman friend, Thag was killed by one.
I remember the cartoon. I think the caveman is lecturing and points to a drawing of the Stegosaurus tail and says something like "and this end is called the Thagomizer, in the honor of the late Thag Simmons". Larson was terrific.
I wonder did she noticed that those are the same critters that attacked the little girl at the beginning? And that they did something similar to her as they did to him?
I've got an image in my head now of a T-REX in a captain's hat in the wheelhouse itty bitty T-REX hands on the wheel and a Cuban cigar between his teeth 😆 saying "gentlemen we need a bigger boat "
You got it right the first time. Those first plant-eaters we see WERE Stegosaurus. This was their official on-screen debut in the Jurassic Park franchise. And they actually hold a unique honor in the franchise: They were the first Dinosaurs in the franchise to show that the plant-eaters, if provoked, are EVERY bit as dangerous as hungry predatory Dinosaurs.
Right. In the original Jurassic Park novel, the sick plant-eater was a Stego. But in the first film they changed it to a Trike. (The first film also ends Dr. Sadtler's inquiry without showing her figuring out what the problem was. As explained in the novel, the plant-eaters use gizzard stones like birds do. Cough up the old set and swallow a new set every six weeks. And they were inadvertently picking up some West Indian Lilac berries along with the stones.)
I thought the same. It really highlights the emotional, and therefore reaction, moments as significant story moments. I’ve been intrigued with script, story and editing for a while and Cassie has really exposed the trend, especially in great movies,the plot progress is the same as the emotional peaks.
"They're not allowed to do this, right?" Technically, yes they are. The dinosaurs are still within InGen's property. "Go back to your territory!" This is their territory now. Please take note when Peter Ludlow mentioned that everything ran on geothermal power. That means both islands have volcanoes. I hope you remember this when you eventually get to Fallen Kingdom because for some reason almost nobody who watched it did. 19:48 That scene always terrifies me more than the T-Rex or the raptors. Add the fact those little compies have venomous bites which why they're so effective at piranha-ing their prey. The boat event could be explained by how the novel did the similar thing. Raptors stowed away on the boat and attacked the crew while they were revitalizing the T-Rex but unfortunately the T-Rex did get out and chased the Raptors in the cargo hold while that one guy was dying with the remote in his hand trying to close it.
You're right to ask how did the t-rex kill everyone on the boat: it's a well known massive plot hole. The best explanation I've heard is they originally planned there would be raptors on the boat too, but they changed their mind during production". The best "in universe" explain anyone can come up with is "the baby t-rex did it"
It is a nod to Dracula, where Dracula travels from Transylvania to London via a freighter named Demeter. Dracula kills everyone on the freighter, and the freighter arrives empty in London harbor.
If I remember correctly, there's a moment in the first book where either velociraptors or compys were spotted onboard the ferry as it was leaving the island. In the book, I believe this was the reveal for how some dinosaurs had gotten off the island, which had been a mystery since one of the earliest chapters when the remains of a partially eaten compy was found in Costa Rica.
There's a great deleted scene that was the original introduction to Roland Tembo and his sidekick Ajay. The two of them reunite at a bar and Ajay tells Roland about the job of going to hunt the dinosaurs. If it was included it really would've completed his character arc to it's full potential because at first Roland declines going to the Island saying there's nothing more for him to hunt until he finds out the T-Rex is on the island. It adds just a hint more of depth to his goals. He's like a modern day General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game.
These are very easily my favorite blend of practical and cgi effects ever. The movie is almost visually flawless with the dinosaurs and the darker setting only makes them look more perfect. The tiger striped raptors is a god tier design also.
You are correct about the magic. As a huge dino nerd, I literally shed tears of awe in the theater when Dr. Grant saw that Brachiosaurus for the first time. He couldn't breathe and had to sit down. I felt almost exactly the same way. Today we're so used to CGI that it's just a part of our daily moviegoing lives, but in 1993 nobody had ever seen anything like that. Absolutely mind blowing. And it wasn't King Kong or an alien from Mars or a comic book hero. It was the love of my life. Dinosaurs. I've never had a moment like that in any movie before or since. I get almost the same feeling every time I watch that movie, as if my mind sends me right back to that moment to relive that feeling. Sadly, none of the movies since, in this franchise or anywhere else, gave me anything like that moment.
Fun fact, the man who gets eaten by the T-Rex during the sequence in San Diego (at 28:31) is the film's lead scriptwriter, David Koepp. He is credited simply as "Unlucky Bastard"
@@MandoWookie The screwed up morals is part of the point. Hammond makes the point at the end that these creatures require our absences, not our help. The movie is making a further point about how even when we try to help we usually still screw things up. Even when people are trying to be good... it can be for the wrong reasons. It's all about painting enormous gray areas.
The audience only gripe about the first movie was that there wasn't enough dinosaur scenes, so Steven Spielberg packed this movie with so much dinosaur scenes that people hated it. I wish people would make up their minds as to what they want.
I love this movie so much. I watched it nearly every day on vhs along with the original. I just hate how Spielberg ended up editing it to make Roland seem like he's more of a villain. The deleted scene in the bar is a great one to show him in a good light and originally he wasn't the one that broke the leg of the baby rex. It was Mr. Ludlowe who hit it with a car and Roland punches him out of frustration. Also RIP to the real hero of the movie Eddie.
This movie gets a lot of flack and while I understand some of the criticisms, to me it's still a fantastic film with a lot of superb scenes and it remains a thrill ride throughout which is all I need from a Jurassic movie. Is it as good as the first? Of course not, but the first is, to me, one of those movies that is as close to a perfect film that you can get. I loved this one, still do, and I even really enjoy JP3 as well. In my opinion there isn't a bad Jurassic Park/World film and they each take you on different rides that are all a ton of fun. Fun fact, Spielberg initially wanted the rex in the city scene to be in a third Jurassic film as am homage to King Kong, but when he realized he likely wouldn't be directing the third one, he went ahead and did it in this film because it's something he really, really wanted to do. While I often have to fast forward passed the dog scene because I'm a softie, I still LOVE that sequence and it was my favorite part of the movie as a kid.
Watch this one in the theater with my dad. The characters are *idiots.* The woman *knew* Tyrannosaurs cared for their young and had excellent senses of smell, yet she carted around an injured juvenile and then a jacket *coated in its blood* while being *chased* by the pissed off *parents!* Not to mention the moron who wandered off on his own to pee, which got him eaten *and* left their camp undefended. If you need to pee while on watch, you get someone else to cover for you! *Idiot!*
@@disclaimer.imjokin I actually like the third one, too. :) It's not that bad. Sure, it doesn't hold up to its predecessors, but what do you expect when it's not directed by Steven Spielberg? IMO it's still a decent sequel. The "Jurassic World" movies were disappointing to me.
I love that bit with the male Tyrannosaur crunching Peter Ludlow's leg and stepped aside to let the baby finish him off. That proud reaction like "That's my boy!!" Also, those little dinosaurs that attack the little girl in the beginning and Dieter Stark later on are called Procompsognathus. Fun facts about the Stegosaurus (the dinosaur that nearly shish kabobs Sarah): Their tail are the size of regulation MLB bats and paleontologists believe the plates on their backs were used to regulate their body temperatures.
My gf is a geologist and loves dinosaurs. She wanted to be an archeologists as well. A friend of mine studying archeology put a post up, bragging naming every dinosaur off the top of his head, and no one else could do that. I sent a screenshot to my gf, and about a minute later she sends the screenshot back circling one and said it was technically not a dinosaur. I sent it to him.
it sucks how they misled everyone to think those were velociraptors when they're actually Deinonychus'. guess it's harder to say so they went with raptor but still, it's a pretty big scientific inaccuracy, seeing as raptors were feathery and the size of turkeys
The cliff/trailer scene is the best Jurassic Park sequence in the whole franchise. Spielberg sure knows how to craft an edge of the seat, nerve shredding moment.
It was a bigger and more intense version of the jeep falling down the tree scene in the first movie. And Goldblum's daughter just happening to be a gymnast is a callback to Lexi just happenning to have computer hacker skills, which is exactly what was needed at that moment. Memberberries, but bigger and more spectacular. Typical sequelitis.
It's just as bad as that girl in the 1st one that is somehow some 'computer wiz' that knows how to get the systems (that she's never seen before) back up and running in a matter of SECONDS! The writing in these movies is just flat out horrible. 🤣
Ironically that snake was a harmless Milk Snake and not a venomous Coral Snake. Theres an old saying: "Red and yellow kills a fellow, red and black is friend of jack."
it's also silly that the person that was afraid of the snake was the dino/reptile expert. like, really. they couldn't have picked some other random person to make it more plausible
You have to love this young lady's pure reactions. Although I've seen the movie several times, I felt like I was watching with her, and reacting with her. Realy adorable and fun.
Another great reaction Cass! That scene when Jeff, his daughter, and Eddie were on top of the trees, and the T-Rex roars in the silence of the night, absolutely terrifying! 😱😱😱
The scene at the beginning involving the little girl being attacked by Compys was taken from the prologue of the first novel! Another, more graphic scene, was a bunch of Compys eating a newborn baby in its crib.
@@dereklopez9060 You should read the second novel as well. The movie goes so far away from the premise of the second novel as to be ridculous by comparison.
@@TheCkent100 I have read the second novel by Michael Crichton, it's also amazing. I'm planning on reading it again. One of my favorite parts in the second novel was the Camouflaged Carnotaurus, that part was really spooky. Also the Rex nest assault led by Lewis Dodgson, and the motorcycle chase scene with the Velociraptors.
Ikr so many set pieces of the first novel were put into the other movies. The flying dinos in the dome in jp3, the waterfall scene here, and of course the compies in this one.
Was gonna post the same thing. It's one of the first scenes in the book. An uncle gifted me the book as a child before the movie came out. Back then the (german) title was still "Dino Park". They changed it back to Jurassic after the movie came out. XD
To this very day, I still have The Lost World Jurassic Park on VHS, as a reminder of my childhood. Eddie Carr's death was by far the most horrific death in the Jurassic Park franchise. The way Jeff Goldblum delivered his line "Mommy's very angry" was spot on. The Long Grass was the scariest sequence in the film, knowing that it's a perfect spot for Velociraptors to ambush the their prey. The T-rex that found the Infant in the docks was the father T-Rex aka The Buck. Roland Tembo was one of the best characters in the movie, he was a straight up hunter. Idk why they deleted the scene with him and Ajay sitting at a table and they have a chat before Roland get's into a bar fight. The ending was so good, John Hammond finally accepts what Dr Ian Malcolm has been telling him all these years since the first movie. And it was a happy ending for the Dinosaurs. I highly recommend reading The Lost World novel by Michael Crichton, it's way different from the film adaptation.
Imagine if nick wasn't there to kill everyone. You'd have a dead T-Rex and just the mother running loose in the city as the entire movie. Maybe we'd still get the same ending with old Hammond?
If I remember correctly, in the 2nd book the lawyer, who actually survived the first book, is being hunted by a teenage T-Rex. There is a scene where he's hiding behind a tree, actually hugging it before his demise. The creepiness of the scene is that suddenly all the bugs and other noises stop. The forest goes dead silent. That part of the book sent shivers up my back and my hair stand up!
The answer for the boat incident is that a raptor got on board and killed everyone but for some reason they didn't film it and it does leave a confusing hole. But still such a great movie
False. This is a myth that came about based on an art piece that was not at all tied to this movie. There are quite a few videos and reading material that debunk this. There was never a plan for raptors to be on the boat. It was just poor execution due to the ending being rushed and changed at the last minute. It was always supposed to be the t-rex. Never raptors.
@@thickerconstrictor9037 that's true but I guess fandom just decided it to be raptors since it's the only plausible answer for what we actually see on screen.
"Someone put him in a woodchipper. PLEASE." Cassie is sweet and then turns vicious when you harm kids and animals. Don't mess with Mama Popcorn. Or else she''ll put you too in the wood chipper.
The fact that your thought when seeing InGen going after the dinosaurs is "Are these bad guys?" shows how well they did at creating dinosaurs that feel like real sympathetic animals and not movie monsters.
Sarah should've died before him... Plate glass instead of safety glass in the back of that 'camper'. We shouldn't have to pay such a 'price' for suspense.
I am always amused by the fact that almost every disaster in the movie is caused by the "good guys". All of both groups equipment is destroyed because of Nick and Sarah, the T-Rex only is alive to go to San Diego because Nick took Roland's bullets, and even the moment you feel that Dieter gets just comeuppance when being eaten by Compy's you have to remember they were doing the same thing to an little girl in the beginning of the movie. Also, the third stegosaurus was between Sarah and the others, that is why she had to run the direction she did in that scene.
That cliff scene..it's still one of the greatest scenes ever. Talk about suspense and action. The music and that Mercedes and everything that's happening, it's so cool. Not many directors can take control and handle so many things happening like Spielberg can. You see it in most of his films, like the Poltergeist ending for example...even if Hooper "directed" it.
This was also my first and only Jurassic Park in the cinema. I was 12 myself. I never cared much of the following sequels. 1&2 are, in my opinion the only good ones.
I had seen the first one back in 1993, when my brother got it on vhs for Christmas. I was 9 years old then, I remember watching it during Christmas with mum and dad and my brother, and my parents were discussing if I were allowed to watch it because they had heard that there was a person who was being eaten in the movie:)
We "Far Side" comic fans know that the spikes on the stego's tail are called a Thagomzer. Actual scientists adopted the term. The cavemen named it for the late great Thag Simmons. It is presumed it got up close and personal with it. He was likely thoroughly ventilated.
Hi. I hope you read this, but the jurassic park movies were my fondest memory growing up, and now my daughter is old enough to watch them and seeing her react with the same amazement i had means the world for me. Watching you react to them to remind me of her reaction and to wait for my son to be old enough to join in this beautiful adventure. Thank you for your hard work doing this for us.
I think the book was meant to be darker, but the 2nd half of this movie feels so poorly written and well, dumb. I would actually vote JP3 above this one, even though it too, has many flaws.
The boat scene, where everyone is dead and the T-rex is trapped, and when Nick, Sarah and Ian, holding a rope, cross the truck without taking a scratch is inexplicable. The film's only two weaknesses. The scene of Eddie trying to save them - accompanied by the fantastic music of John Williams -, on the other hand, is epic.
IIRC the boat at least was supposed to have raptors on it as well which escaped and killed everyone, setting up the ghost-ship with a trapped tyrannosaur still in the hold, but it was removed for time in editing. Leaving behind "everyone's dead on the boat" without explaining how/why and creating an enormous plot hole.
@@fluxx2384 I neither have an explanation for that making sense nor especially want one. Easier to just pretend that bit never happened. "800 lbs" is also kind of a massive stretch -- a grizzly bear weighs 800 lbs. Even the far too-large raptors from the Jurassic Park movies wouldn't be more than like 150-200lbs or so with their physiology.
The boat works if the man at the button was mortally wounded when he locked the T-Rex in and died after. Imagine in No Country for Old Men reacting to the desert shootout aftermath Brolin stumbles upon by saying "how did the money get taken from the scene, everyone was dead!"
The ecologist/naturalist who thinks T Rex have strong maternal instincts but also sees nothing wrong with taking an injured infant T Rex back to their camp
@@CraigNull The problem was not that the boat continued to function, the problem was that they found the T-Rex trapped and all the crew dead. How did these mortally wounded crew manage to trap the dinosaur?
It's hard to put into words what it means to me to come home from work at 1am and have a movie reaction from you waiting on my playlist. It's a balm for my soul. Thank you Cassie.
28:31 So, what seems like, a random guy being eaten, is actually this movies writer. He also co-wrote JP 1 with Michael Crichton, the author of the JP novel. In this movie, he's credited as "unlucky bastard"
I wonder how you’d react to the Predator. Which is an all time classic. As a kid, Jaws made me hate to get in the water. Predator made me hate to be amongst the trees, bushlands or forests. Lol
The T-Rex would get tired quickly and overheat from a chase, whereas the raptors were better suited for speed, most varieties were small turkey-sized except for the “Utah raptor” about the size of a human. (And the spinosaurs could run for longer times because of the spinal fin to cool down by radiating body heat as they ran.)
In the real word neither lived at the same time. If they did T-Rex would likely have been king, like they were ~66 mill. years ago. Their incredible size, their numbers and them seemingly hunting in packs - awesome! - All hail "Rex the Formidable" for he is no feeble dog-pet but king!
Truthfully, throughout the series, the T Rex is the hero Dinosaur. Yes, it eats and kills people. But only the bad guys. The Raptors are the Villains and are portrayed to be evil.
@@juliant yes because it's still an animal. Eddie was a victim of circumstance. The T Rex saves them from the Raptors in the first one, and eats the scummy lawyer. In the second one, the t Rex eats the scummy nephew and others are killed by it who are disrupting the park. In the third one, the t Rex fights the Spino, allowing everyone to escape. In the fourth one, the t Rex fights the indominus, helping to restore a natural balance to nature. In the fifth one, the Rex once again eats the scumbag from the mansion.
The Lost World is cheesy, but fun. Good reaction. It's like Spielberg learned to do more with the dinosaurs. Some of the shots where characters are running or driving in between herds of dinosaurs are amazing. The scene where the ship grounds itself and you learn that a creature mysteriously killed all the crew is a nod to the original Dracula story.
30:08 If you look closely, you can see a 4th person sitting on the couch in the reflection of the tv screen. Steven Spielberg makes a cameo as that 4th person.
The little girl in the beginning was actually in the book which was what the first film was based on, except in that she was killed. 3:29 'I'm not making the same mistake again'/'No, your making all new ones' I love Ian Malcolm! 8:14 'You'll be back in five or six pieces' is a great line too. 5:57 Yep, those are stegosauruses, which I believe are actually Jurassic animals. Velociraptors, T. Rex and Triceratops are late Cretaceous, the era after the Jurassic.
@@bellsknell3297 I must have misremembered it, it was a while ago I read it. The idea that some escaped to the mainland is far scarier than more on another island.
Lost World is one of my favorite Jurassic Park films, along with the first one. I really feel like a lot of people don't give it the credit it deserves, and I think part of that is because the harbor scene is so confusing to so many people. I loved your reaction to it. :)
That's because they didn't include the scene that showed velociraptors getting on board and killing the crew before it left the island. IIRC, the boat was on auto-nav the whole trip.
Yes, The ending wasn't that great. It felt like a tribute to King Kong and Gorilla more than it's own thing. The whole stealing-the-baby part was pretty dumb. The girl also didn't help the movie... Still enjoyed it, but it could have been much better, imho.
First of all, great review! I hope you do all of the JP movies. Second, it is so bizarre watching this movie again as an adult (I was 12 when it came out and was obsessed) - not only because of the hilarious plot holes, but also because I've seen these actors in so many other things. Seeing Richard Schiff as a weapons expert after watching West Wing is particularly amazing.
"Do not tell me the T. Rex is driving that boat!" First off, that really made me laugh. Second, there are moments in the other Jurassic Park movies that actually get to that level of ridiculous or at least close to it. If you're going to do the others in the future, like Jurassic Park III, there is a scene in that movie that I don't dare spoil. Let's just say I want you to watch that whole movie just so I can see you react to that scene. Those who've seen it know what I'm talking about.

28:33 fun fact the guy that the buck (the male t-rex) eats is David Koepp, he was the screenplay writer and was named 'Unlucky bastard' in the credits.
Vince Vaughn was the real villain in this movie, InGen had everything running smoothly with the dinosaurs safely in captivity until Eco-Rambo VV decided to commit mass murder by releasing them on the camp. Then he brought a baby T-Rex back to his team which not only put them all in grave danger, but led to Eddie getting eaten alive. They only survived because they were *saved* by the so called "evil" InGen team. Again later when they were attacked by the T-Rex in camp, Roland had a clear shot but VV had removed the bullets - which again led to multiple deaths.
Agreed 100%. And maybe it’s because I am a dirty capitalist but the animals are in fact company property so they do have the right to put them into a zoo and recover their losses. Vaughn honestly put the lives of theme park genetic creations over people who were just trying to do their job.
@@notalonewolf20 Exactly, they wanted to put them in a zoo - something we have right now with "normal" animals, where they would've been taken care of as the valuable assets they are. Its not like they wanted to open a chain of Bronto-Burger fast food restaurants...
@@Lakrimoz And considering they would be an invasive species on the island and their chances of survival are low given they’re extinct creatures it’s probably better for them to be in a zoo.
@@mg19cal You're right, he was under orders to disrupt & prevent InGen - but I'm not entirely convinced Hammond was aware of the level of wanton destruction and disregard for human life he dished out.
Even as a kid nick owen bothered me. He is literally responsible for all those people’s deaths, put Sarah and Kelly’s life at risk and suffered zero consequences for all those deaths. He was a secret villain really.
Exactly right. Nick Owen (Vince Vaughn) was really terrible in this movie. I think he was some eco activist or something. Letting the dinos loose which destroyed all their gear, so they had to camp outside as they travel to the JP compounds to call for help, to taking that hunter guy's ammo. Which also cause everyone to run into Raptor territory after the T-Rex attacked the campsite. The fact the character is portrayed as righteous hero is sickening.
@@callmeshaggy5166 there is sabotage and then there is at best manslaughter. His actions led to many people’s deaths. You could argue it was premeditated as he likely knew releasing the dinos would result in injury or death so murder is a charge. Just because he told them he was a saboteur doesn’t excuse his actions and there consequences
Wouldn't Hammond be responsible as well to some degree? He hired the guy to do something that was almost certain to get people killed. Not to mention that he also oversaw the creation of the creatures that did said killing. How Hammond doesn't go to prison is the real plot hole of this movie.
@@jonharper8963 I'd argue the entire ingen crew were assholes and deserved what they got, so getting trample by dinosaurs was just desserts. Only person on the crew I even thought wouldn't deserve it was big beardo there, but he was stupid and decided a snake in his outfit was worse than getting eaten.
Great reaction! "The Lost World" is actually my favorite part of the series. It's so much more intense than the first one, has better effects and is darker. I even enjoyed the often criticized gymnastics scene. To me, this movie never gets old, just like the first one. And I like Part III too (though that could be probably because I watched that first and its predecessors later, haha). Would love to watch your reaction to it, Cassie. JP III may be not as good as Part I + II, but it's still a very entertaining movie. And though I don't like the "Jurassic World" sequels that much, it would be also interesting to see your reaction, just to have your insights on them. I mean, even the disappointing sequels of a beloved franchise are still a part of it and are worth to be discussed.
The kids in these movies are usually the worst part of them. The kid in this one was the worst kid of the lot. The kids in the third and fifth films were actually pretty good.
The tiny dinosaurs (Compsognathus or “compys”) have paralytic venom. That’s why they backed away from the Russian guy after biting him a bunch. They were waiting for the venom to take effect. Nobody knows how the crew dies for sure. Maybe there was something else aboard that escaped before the crash?
I was wondering how the little girl from the very beginning of the movie survived these compys though. Old guy told Sarah that the little girl was fine after the attack on a very casual tone. He didn't mention anything serious like paralysis or something.... Another inconsistency from the movie perhaps? Regardles, I still love this movie. And yes, I'm in the minority, I love the gymnastics part.
@@mrjorenasuncion paralytic venom doesn’t mean you’re paralyzed forever. The venom would have left her system eventually. What saved her was multiple adults who could chase the compys away and get her back on the yacht. These little guys were responsible for one of the most brutal and satisfying deaths in the first book, so when I saw them in the second movie I knew they were going to cause some carnage.
I've been enjoying your reactions to these older movies 🤗 I remembered just now, there is a movie from 1993 that many people may have missed or forgotten about, with Cuba Gooding Jnr, Emilio Estevez and many other familiar faces (Dennis Leary incl), that I though at that time was very good called Judgement Night, it's an action movie and I don't want to give too much away, it will give you scares, but it might be nice to see you react to it.
31:49 - EXACTLY! I've been asking myself this question forever - unless there were some raptors on deck, who later dispersed , this moment makes no sense.
“Somebody needs to make some calls!” 😂😂😂 This film reminds me of some old sayings; 1. Any animal, no matter how small, can be dangerous in large enough numbers. 2. You better respect nature, because it sure as hell doesn’t respect you.
Phone calls to whom? This is a privatly owned island (owned by Ingen) and the hunters are contracted by Ingen so they can technically do whatever they want.
Back in 1997, the internet was in it's infancy, and the marketing for this movie was good...and clever. So when I went to see it, in downtown SD, the theatre erupted in cheers when we saw the T Rex running amok in downtown SD!!
Fun fact: Julianne Moore's character, Sarah Harding, is the daughter of the veterinarian who was caring for the sick Triceratops in the first film, Gerald Harding.
Oh really? I didn’t know that. They had a character like that in the Telltale Game.
@@tbirdUCW6ReAJ Yes, the character of Jessica Harding from the game is supposed to be Sarah's younger sister. When the game was made back in the day it was meant to be considered part of the official movie canon, but the Jurassic World movies have since ended up superseding it.
Dr. Harding also looks different in the game simply because they were unable to get the rights to use Gerald R. Molen's likeness.
That's the book canon but not the movie canon dude. Totally separate
@@unropednope4644 No, it's movie canon as well. It's mentioned in the script.
Thats why i was wondering if they were related bc both their names are Harding
28:33 random fact the Japanese guys running away are yelling "I left Japan to get away from giant monsters" an injoke to Godzilla.
The random guy that ran away from the group in the city and got ate is now credited as “Unlucky Bastard.”
I had this very cool moment when going to see this movie opening weekend. My sister's and I got into the showroom a bit later than usual so it was fairly full, so one of the few areas we could find was about I think 4th row on the floor. So we sat somewhat towards the center as there was by happenstance an Asian guy holding 2 seats for his either family or friends as they were getting snacks. So anyways, we sat down and about 5 mins or so later the 2 friends came and took their seats and I ended up talking with one of them about the movie and Dinosaurs and he had brought up Godzilla and kinda how if a Dinosaur was loose among the public it might be like that lol. So when the scene came up with the Asian group running in fear from the T-Rex, both he and I leaned fwd a bit and both looked at each other and freaking cracked UP LOL!!😂😂 It was just one of those movie fan connection moments which was great! I hadn't ever known any of the 3 before. I love when ppl connect over movies.☺
@@gailjohnston1248 cool story bro
@@gailjohnston1248 what a story Mark
@@TheCosmicFireStar LOL thanks! Though I'm not a- Bro 😛😄
The scene where Eddie saved everybody is by far my favorite of this whole movie. Sacrificed all to save them. The unsung hero of this movie.
Yes, but if Sara had not brought the baby t-rex, he might have survived the movie. Sara IMO is as selfish as the Imgen guy. Maybe not for money, but she acted as if whatever she believed in, was more important than the lives of anyone else.
I maintain it's one of the best directed scenes in Spielberg's filmography. It's extremely well done.
@@granadosvm I mean we can have a philisophical debate on if a human life is truly worth more then that of a baby T rex. Humans tend to asume their lives are more superior then any other life form, but is that in fact a fact? Also the baby T rex was hurt to a point it would die, because of a human. It's only right if humans try to fix that mess in return. The baby rex never asked to be a thing. Messing with genetics brought forth it's parents, and than the baby was born minding it's own buisness. Then another human shows up, injures it, captures it, so he has a chance to murder or capture it's father. Maybe that baby rex life was important enought to take chances, to take risks. Also if Eddie had not gone to the island he would have survived the movie. They knew up front what happend in the first movie, and what place they where going too. If he had left after tying and tossing the rope properly and ignoring the car, he could have survived. If that hunter had not hurt that baby T rex to that level so other humans where left moraly compelled to help the baby survive in exchange, eddie could have survived. the truth is several people and several choices led to Eddie's death, including his own. If they had decided to put their camp somewhere not near a cliff so they could not be pushed over and thus would not need eddie's help to begin with, Eddie could have survived. You cant just blame Sarah alone for that happening.Thats to black and white a view on this. A whole lot of people and decisions where involved in getting this result to transpire.
@@amberanime in the deleted scenes Roland wasn’t the one to hurt the trex, it was actually Peter Ludlow being clumsy. As for the moral implications I have no moral obligation to risk the lives of other people to save the single life of a creature that shouldn’t exist. Also Nick Van Owen should have been held responsible for the deaths of everyone on the island.
@@amberanime We can have a debate about lives being as important regardless of species, but Sara doesn't just risk herself, she risks others' (and die) without asking their opinion. I don't have a problem with her valuing the life of a t-rex as much as her own. I have a problem with her never expressing remorse than others die for her decision. That's why I think she is selfish.
I think roland is such a cool character for this movie. Hes not good, or bad. He just wants to do what he loves, but seeing his friend die was his breaking point
Nothing cool about him, he's a sad pathetic individual who only feels really alive when he's killing things.
The deleted scene with him beating the shit out of those guys with one arm tied behind his back is amazing haha
@@idiot_city5444yeah I wished that scene was kept in
"Do not tell me the T-Rex is driving the boat!"😂😂🤣
I laughed way too much at that, girl
That scene was so Bram Stoker-ish except there the Good Count isn't roaming the decks in this one. Neither are pack-animal feeders like some of the spit-shooting li'l dino's. So, what happened to the crew? Did they all run into the mouth of Mama T-Rex? Was she hiding in their bunks and gobbling them when they turned in? But - considering film history - if THIS was the most egregious fault of this film, fine. I think the annoying brat of the never-listen daughter was problem for my enjoyment.
@@BuffaloC305 It's been speculated that velociraptors got onto the deck and ate the crew but then later got swept overboard before it reached San Diego.
@@luckypunfire6263 it was the Rex. The film storyboard shows the Rex breaking out of the cage he was in on the deck and the crew trying frantically to restrain him. They fail and all of them were either maimed or eaten.
@@morammofilmsph1540 But that does not explain how it get's back inside its holding pen.

Poor Eddie. Such a good guy, couldn't catch a break.
When I first saw this movie, I thought because he looked like Gennaro from the first movie, he’d die. I was correct
I always blamed Vince Vaughn's character for his death, among many others.
Well, he caught one, at least....in half
@@Aero5000
Indeed. Nick is directly responsible for the deaths on the island.
I think he has had the only honorable sacrifice in Jurassic Park franchise. Saving his friends
28:33 the guy who gets eaten is David Koepp, a screenwriter and he co-wrote Jurassic Park as well as The Lost World among dozens of other movies. He's listed in the credits for this movie as "Unlucky Bastard"
He also wrote the screenplay for the early Spiderman movies.
Regarding the dead ship crew: there was a discontinuity in editing where they originally had some velociraptors stowing on board and killing the crew. But that was cut from script but they decided to keep the massacres aftermath. I think we're meant to assume there's a large hole in the bridge where the T-Rex killed the pilot and a dying crewman was able to trap the T-Rex again when it went back into the hold. Need to do some mental gymnastics to get there, but that's what happens with continuity errors.
Anyway, can't beat the OG, but still loved this movie. Twice as violent, twice as dark, twice as T-Rex. I watched this movie too young and still get dinosaur nightmares. Love it.
Thank you for this comment!. Even the first time watching this as a kid I was like, "Wait, what??" at that scene... They give you the contextual clues and it makes even less sense. The crewmates hand on the control implies the Trex got out, ate everyone, then they lured/led it back into the hold, but how did the dead crewmate then close it back? Spielberg is usually very good at environmental visual storytelling so its nice to finally have an explanation for why this scene didnt work, to put it bluntly.
Someone said it, but thanks for the comment! I assumed something like that was likely the case. Besides...I don’t kind a few mental gymnastics! Better that than the actual gymnastics scene in the film 🙂
Thanks for the comment, i never got that part.
Ah cool, I always assumed it was the baby T-Rex that got out and killed the crew, then it just went back to its mother in the hold
It was actually taken from the first book, like alot of scenes were in this film, about Raptors being on board. In the first novel Dr. Grant sees Raptors on the cargo boats leaving Jurassic Park for the mainland.
My absolute favorite dinosaur fact- the weapon on stegosaurs' tails is now officially called the "Thagomizer" after a cartoon in Far Side that Gary Larson drew. In the cartoon, a cave-man is doing a presentation and names it Thagomizer after his caveman friend, Thag was killed by one.
I remember the cartoon. I think the caveman is lecturing and points to a drawing of the Stegosaurus tail and says something like "and this end is called the Thagomizer, in the honor of the late Thag Simmons". Larson was terrific.
True story
"Someone put him in a woodchipper!" And our sweet Cassie is no more... lol
Steven Spielberg once said he cast Peter Stormare and killed him off as payback for the woodchipper.
Cassie is sweet and then turns vicious when you harm kids and animals. Don't mess with Mama Popcorn. Or else she''ll put you too in the wood chipper.
I wonder did she noticed that those are the same critters that attacked the little girl at the beginning? And that they did something similar to her as they did to him?
she's one of us now.
She wished Commodus a horrible death in Gladiator. I think the Sweet Cassie boat sailed a while ago :/
“Oh my God, do not tell me.. the T-Rex is DRIVING THE BOAT??!” I laughed SO hard!🤣
LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ❤️❤️❤️
Cassie says so many things that make us roll with laughter. Her reactions are priceless.
I imagined the T-Rex behind the rudder of the boat when she said that, it was so funny 😂😂😂
@@englaodevil I did too! With a little white captain's hat.
I also love how she assigns names to characters like "suit guy."
Go back and watch her reaction when the Nazi’s faces melted in Raiders of the Lost Ark, still my favorite Cassie reaction of all time! 😂🤣
I've got an image in my head now of a T-REX in a captain's hat in the wheelhouse itty bitty T-REX hands on the wheel and a Cuban cigar between his teeth 😆 saying "gentlemen we need a bigger boat "
You got it right the first time. Those first plant-eaters we see WERE Stegosaurus. This was their official on-screen debut in the Jurassic Park franchise. And they actually hold a unique honor in the franchise: They were the first Dinosaurs in the franchise to show that the plant-eaters, if provoked, are EVERY bit as dangerous as hungry predatory Dinosaurs.
Right.
In the original Jurassic Park novel, the sick plant-eater was a Stego. But in the first film they changed it to a Trike.
(The first film also ends Dr. Sadtler's inquiry without showing her figuring out what the problem was. As explained in the novel, the plant-eaters use gizzard stones like birds do. Cough up the old set and swallow a new set every six weeks. And they were inadvertently picking up some West Indian Lilac berries along with the stones.)
Your editing is so good that the movie plot is easy to follow even on films I've never watched before!
I thought the same. It really highlights the emotional, and therefore reaction, moments as significant story moments. I’ve been intrigued with script, story and editing for a while and Cassie has really exposed the trend, especially in great movies,the plot progress is the same as the emotional peaks.
"They're not allowed to do this, right?"
Technically, yes they are. The dinosaurs are still within InGen's property.
"Go back to your territory!"
This is their territory now.
Please take note when Peter Ludlow mentioned that everything ran on geothermal power. That means both islands have volcanoes. I hope you remember this when you eventually get to Fallen Kingdom because for some reason almost nobody who watched it did.
19:48
That scene always terrifies me more than the T-Rex or the raptors. Add the fact those little compies have venomous bites which why they're so effective at piranha-ing their prey.
The boat event could be explained by how the novel did the similar thing. Raptors stowed away on the boat and attacked the crew while they were revitalizing the T-Rex but unfortunately the T-Rex did get out and chased the Raptors in the cargo hold while that one guy was dying with the remote in his hand trying to close it.
Well.... "Someone should make some phonecalls!" I love her reactions ha.
The geothermal power is mentioned more in the novel, but a lot of it is Chrichton being *so* in-depth about anything sciency.
You're right to ask how did the t-rex kill everyone on the boat: it's a well known massive plot hole.
The best explanation I've heard is they originally planned there would be raptors on the boat too, but they changed their mind during production".
The best "in universe" explain anyone can come up with is "the baby t-rex did it"
Thats what I always figured. The baby t-rex got out and did it but surly someone on that ship had a gun and could have just shot it or something.
The baby T-rex wasn't even on the boat, it came to the mainland before its mother.
It is a nod to Dracula, where Dracula travels from Transylvania to London via a freighter named Demeter. Dracula kills everyone on the freighter, and the freighter arrives empty in London harbor.
I thought the best in universe explanation was that rival company from the first movie that hired Nedry.
If I remember correctly, there's a moment in the first book where either velociraptors or compys were spotted onboard the ferry as it was leaving the island. In the book, I believe this was the reveal for how some dinosaurs had gotten off the island, which had been a mystery since one of the earliest chapters when the remains of a partially eaten compy was found in Costa Rica.
There's a great deleted scene that was the original introduction to Roland Tembo and his sidekick Ajay. The two of them reunite at a bar and Ajay tells Roland about the job of going to hunt the dinosaurs. If it was included it really would've completed his character arc to it's full potential because at first Roland declines going to the Island saying there's nothing more for him to hunt until he finds out the T-Rex is on the island. It adds just a hint more of depth to his goals. He's like a modern day General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game.
Yeah, they really should not have cut that.
"A true hunter doesn't care if the animal gets away, does he?"
Wow nice, almost an archetype. Always thought that character was kind of cool.
Back in the day, I taped this movie when it was on tv and it had that deleted scene included in it
Didn't he play Zarroff?
These are very easily my favorite blend of practical and cgi effects ever. The movie is almost visually flawless with the dinosaurs and the darker setting only makes them look more perfect. The tiger striped raptors is a god tier design also.
You are correct about the magic.
As a huge dino nerd, I literally shed tears of awe in the theater when Dr. Grant saw that Brachiosaurus for the first time.
He couldn't breathe and had to sit down.
I felt almost exactly the same way.
Today we're so used to CGI that it's just a part of our daily moviegoing lives, but in 1993 nobody had ever seen anything like that.
Absolutely mind blowing.
And it wasn't King Kong or an alien from Mars or a comic book hero.
It was the love of my life. Dinosaurs.
I've never had a moment like that in any movie before or since.
I get almost the same feeling every time I watch that movie, as if my mind sends me right back to that moment to relive that feeling.
Sadly, none of the movies since, in this franchise or anywhere else, gave me anything like that moment.
Fun fact, the man who gets eaten by the T-Rex during the sequence in San Diego (at 28:31) is the film's lead scriptwriter, David Koepp. He is credited simply as "Unlucky Bastard"
Was going to post this exact thing, glad someone beat me to the punch lol

To this day that scream to subway transition remains amazing for all the right and wrong reasons simultaneously.

This movie has some great scenes, but overall is a mess of plot holes and screwed up morals on the part of some of the 'heroes'.
@@MandoWookie The screwed up morals is part of the point. Hammond makes the point at the end that these creatures require our absences, not our help. The movie is making a further point about how even when we try to help we usually still screw things up. Even when people are trying to be good... it can be for the wrong reasons. It's all about painting enormous gray areas.
In the extended version, it transitions into the ingen boardroom scene, where one of the board members yawns to start it off.
@@MandoWookie I think that’s the point that there would be conflicting reactions to the sudden reintroduction of dinosaurs in the modern age.
The audience only gripe about the first movie was that there wasn't enough dinosaur scenes, so Steven Spielberg packed this movie with so much dinosaur scenes that people hated it. I wish people would make up their minds as to what they want.
I honestly don't see what is really wrong with Lost World, it's such a great sequel movie even after all these years.
People want to direct their own movie(s).........until they actually have to direct them
Kids only buy choppers, cars and jeep with jurassic park logo, more than dinosaurs. Lets create more cool cars.
Don't hold your breath on that one.
@@j33psamuels48 Yea, it's a pretty natural progression from the first film. Just a pretty decent adaptation of Sir. Conan Doyle _The Lost World_ .
I love this movie so much. I watched it nearly every day on vhs along with the original. I just hate how Spielberg ended up editing it to make Roland seem like he's more of a villain. The deleted scene in the bar is a great one to show him in a good light and originally he wasn't the one that broke the leg of the baby rex. It was Mr. Ludlowe who hit it with a car and Roland punches him out of frustration.
Also RIP to the real hero of the movie Eddie.
This movie gets a lot of flack and while I understand some of the criticisms, to me it's still a fantastic film with a lot of superb scenes and it remains a thrill ride throughout which is all I need from a Jurassic movie. Is it as good as the first? Of course not, but the first is, to me, one of those movies that is as close to a perfect film that you can get. I loved this one, still do, and I even really enjoy JP3 as well. In my opinion there isn't a bad Jurassic Park/World film and they each take you on different rides that are all a ton of fun.
Fun fact, Spielberg initially wanted the rex in the city scene to be in a third Jurassic film as am homage to King Kong, but when he realized he likely wouldn't be directing the third one, he went ahead and did it in this film because it's something he really, really wanted to do. While I often have to fast forward passed the dog scene because I'm a softie, I still LOVE that sequence and it was my favorite part of the movie as a kid.
@Blake N nah, doesn't make it bad bro
Watch this one in the theater with my dad. The characters are *idiots.* The woman *knew* Tyrannosaurs cared for their young and had excellent senses of smell, yet she carted around an injured juvenile and then a jacket *coated in its blood* while being *chased* by the pissed off *parents!* Not to mention the moron who wandered off on his own to pee, which got him eaten *and* left their camp undefended. If you need to pee while on watch, you get someone else to cover for you! *Idiot!*
You lost me when you sold you liked the third one
Definitely was my favorite one watching as kid, didn't care to much for third one.
@@disclaimer.imjokin I actually like the third one, too. :)
It's not that bad. Sure, it doesn't hold up to its predecessors, but what do you expect when it's not directed by Steven Spielberg? IMO it's still a decent sequel. The "Jurassic World" movies were disappointing to me.
I love that bit with the male Tyrannosaur crunching Peter Ludlow's leg and stepped aside to let the baby finish him off. That proud reaction like "That's my boy!!"
Also, those little dinosaurs that attack the little girl in the beginning and Dieter Stark later on are called Procompsognathus.
Fun facts about the Stegosaurus (the dinosaur that nearly shish kabobs Sarah): Their tail are the size of regulation MLB bats and paleontologists believe the plates on their backs were used to regulate their body temperatures.
5:55, Stegosaurus.
8:36, Parasaurolophus and Gallilmimus.
8:40* Mamenchisaurus.
8:47, Pachycephalosaurus.
My gf is a geologist and loves dinosaurs. She wanted to be an archeologists as well. A friend of mine studying archeology put a post up, bragging naming every dinosaur off the top of his head, and no one else could do that. I sent a screenshot to my gf, and about a minute later she sends the screenshot back circling one and said it was technically not a dinosaur. I sent it to him.
actually the parasaurolophus one is called Elvis and the pachycephalosaurus is Friar Tuck.
it sucks how they misled everyone to think those were velociraptors when they're actually Deinonychus'. guess it's harder to say so they went with raptor but still, it's a pretty big scientific inaccuracy, seeing as raptors were feathery and the size of turkeys
@@user-vc5rp7nf8f They're actually taller than D. Antirrhopus

Eddie is the true hero of this movie. He gave his life to save the others.
The cliff/trailer scene is the best Jurassic Park sequence in the whole franchise. Spielberg sure knows how to craft an edge of the seat, nerve shredding moment.
It was a bigger and more intense version of the jeep falling down the tree scene in the first movie. And Goldblum's daughter just happening to be a gymnast is a callback to Lexi just happenning to have computer hacker skills, which is exactly what was needed at that moment. Memberberries, but bigger and more spectacular. Typical sequelitis.
The gymnastics kick is one of the silliest scenes in all of cinema.
It's one of those things in movies that you cheer upon first viewing, and later you're like..."Wait WTF!?"
You spelled "badass" wrong
It's just as bad as that girl in the 1st one that is somehow some 'computer wiz' that knows how to get the systems (that she's never seen before) back up and running in a matter of SECONDS! The writing in these movies is just flat out horrible. 🤣
I cringe everytime it happens. I LOOOOOVE this movie. But that scene kills me inside.
Not as silly as "Allen" in part 3. Lol
Ironically that snake was a harmless Milk Snake and not a venomous Coral Snake. Theres an old saying: "Red and yellow kills a fellow, red and black is friend of jack."
I thought it was "Red band near Black let him back"
Who's jack?
I learned "Red and Black poison lack, Red and Yellow kills a fellow."

Another great reaction Cass! That scene when Jeff, his daughter, and Eddie were on top of the trees, and the T-Rex roars in the silence of the night, absolutely terrifying! 😱😱😱
The scene at the beginning involving the little girl being attacked by Compys was taken from the prologue of the first novel!
Another, more graphic scene, was a bunch of Compys eating a newborn baby in its crib.
I read the first Jurassic Park novel twice, it's flipping amazing.
@@dereklopez9060 You should read the second novel as well. The movie goes so far away from the premise of the second novel as to be ridculous by comparison.
@@TheCkent100 I have read the second novel by Michael Crichton, it's also amazing. I'm planning on reading it again. One of my favorite parts in the second novel was the Camouflaged Carnotaurus, that part was really spooky. Also the Rex nest assault led by Lewis Dodgson, and the motorcycle chase scene with the Velociraptors.
Ikr so many set pieces of the first novel were put into the other movies. The flying dinos in the dome in jp3, the waterfall scene here, and of course the compies in this one.
Was gonna post the same thing. It's one of the first scenes in the book.

To this very day, I still have The Lost World Jurassic Park on VHS, as a reminder of my childhood.
Eddie Carr's death was by far the most horrific death in the Jurassic Park franchise.
The way Jeff Goldblum delivered his line "Mommy's very angry" was spot on.
The Long Grass was the scariest sequence in the film, knowing that it's a perfect spot for Velociraptors to ambush the their prey.
The T-rex that found the Infant in the docks was the father T-Rex aka The Buck.
Roland Tembo was one of the best characters in the movie, he was a straight up hunter. Idk why they deleted the scene with him and Ajay sitting at a table and they have a chat before Roland get's into a bar fight.
The ending was so good, John Hammond finally accepts what Dr Ian Malcolm has been telling him all these years since the first movie. And it was a happy ending for the Dinosaurs.
I highly recommend reading The Lost World novel by Michael Crichton, it's way different from the film adaptation.
Still got my VHS copy, too.
Good childhood memories.
Imagine if nick wasn't there to kill everyone. You'd have a dead T-Rex and just the mother running loose in the city as the entire movie. Maybe we'd still get the same ending with old Hammond?
If I remember correctly, in the 2nd book the lawyer, who actually survived the first book, is being hunted by a teenage T-Rex. There is a scene where he's hiding behind a tree, actually hugging it before his demise. The creepiness of the scene is that suddenly all the bugs and other noises stop. The forest goes dead silent. That part of the book sent shivers up my back and my hair stand up!
The ending scene where the T Rex letting its baby bite Peter is great.
I absolutely love how you actually pay attention and catch even the small details that most people don't even catch after watching it 50 times lol 👍
Agreed !!! She’s so observant
"Eww, he just wants to kill a T-rex!"
T-rex shows up..
""Quick! Get a gun!"
Get a bazooka
"This is not a good idea."
SEE! Even someone who isn't an animal expert knows better. Well done Cassie.
The answer for the boat incident is that a raptor got on board and killed everyone but for some reason they didn't film it and it does leave a confusing hole. But still such a great movie
False. This is a myth that came about based on an art piece that was not at all tied to this movie. There are quite a few videos and reading material that debunk this. There was never a plan for raptors to be on the boat. It was just poor execution due to the ending being rushed and changed at the last minute. It was always supposed to be the t-rex. Never raptors.
@@thickerconstrictor9037 that's true but I guess fandom just decided it to be raptors since it's the only plausible answer for what we actually see on screen.
It’s still confusing. Wouldn’t the raptors still be on board?
Answers to questions I've always had but never knew lol
An actual plothole for once.
I saw THE LOST WORLD in theaters with friends. Such an underrated sequel.
“Someone needs to make some phone calls.” Bahaha… that’s adorable. 😊
10:13 “Oh my gosh someone needs to make some phone calls!” I love this girl 💕 new sub 😊
22:44* I love this mural, where it shows you how Hammond's dream turned into a nightmare.
"Someone put him in a woodchipper. PLEASE."
Cassie is sweet and then turns vicious when you harm kids and animals. Don't mess with Mama Popcorn. Or else she''ll put you too in the wood chipper.
Hahaha true! We love her for it!
Not sure Fargo was the best influence on her, but yeah.
"Do not tell me the T rex is driving the boat." Not literally, but in the larger sense, yes.
No… but yes
Everyone should have just told her
"Yes. The T-Rex is indeed driving the boat" XD
Sort of like Nosferatu on the Demeter.
Would you imagine if they showed the mama T-rex driving the boat with her two little arms on the handle?
I grew up in the 1950-60s when these " monster " movies were playing every Saturday matinee double feature. I still love them.
The fact that your thought when seeing InGen going after the dinosaurs is "Are these bad guys?" shows how well they did at creating dinosaurs that feel like real sympathetic animals and not movie monsters.
Oh sweetheart we feel the same in regards to Eddie's death. Honestly as a kid it broke my damn heart
Sarah should've died before him... Plate glass instead of safety glass in the back of that 'camper'. We shouldn't have to pay such a 'price' for suspense.
It also broke his body in half hehe
I LOVE the city part, seeing people see the T-Rex for the first time and running away is truly a thrill.
I am always amused by the fact that almost every disaster in the movie is caused by the "good guys". All of both groups equipment is destroyed because of Nick and Sarah, the T-Rex only is alive to go to San Diego because Nick took Roland's bullets, and even the moment you feel that Dieter gets just comeuppance when being eaten by Compy's you have to remember they were doing the same thing to an little girl in the beginning of the movie. Also, the third stegosaurus was between Sarah and the others, that is why she had to run the direction she did in that scene.
12:34
All I can hear in that roar is
“*MY BABY BOOOYYYY!!!*” DX
That cliff scene..it's still one of the greatest scenes ever. Talk about suspense and action. The music and that Mercedes and everything that's happening, it's so cool. Not many directors can take control and handle so many things happening like Spielberg can. You see it in most of his films, like the Poltergeist ending for example...even if Hooper "directed" it.
This was one of the first movies I got to see in the cinema without my parents. I remember going with a friend, we were 13 years old and SO scared:)
This was also my first and only Jurassic Park in the cinema. I was 12 myself. I never cared much of the following sequels.
1&2 are, in my opinion the only good ones.
18 and it was still scary
I saw the 1st one in the theatre when I was 7 and it's still the best (but most terrifying) cinema experience I've ever had, and will never be topped
I had seen the first one back in 1993, when my brother got it on vhs for Christmas. I was 9 years old then, I remember watching it during Christmas with mum and dad and my brother, and my parents were discussing if I were allowed to watch it because they had heard that there was a person who was being eaten in the movie:)
We "Far Side" comic fans know that the spikes on the stego's tail are called a Thagomzer. Actual scientists adopted the term. The cavemen named it for the late great Thag Simmons. It is presumed it got up close and personal with it. He was likely thoroughly ventilated.
Why I love these reactions. "oh my gosh. Someone put him in a wood chipper" lol brilliant
Bless your heart my dear. I love your humility and how much you care. You make a tired middle aged man smile. Best wishes and take care.
Hi. I hope you read this, but the jurassic park movies were my fondest memory growing up, and now my daughter is old enough to watch them and seeing her react with the same amazement i had means the world for me. Watching you react to them to remind me of her reaction and to wait for my son to be old enough to join in this beautiful adventure. Thank you for your hard work doing this for us.
Your reactions are amazing. The fact that you are so open minded to watching so many different styles of movie… awesome.
The Lost World is a rather darker, meaner beast than Jurassic Park, and I dig it for that!
And Jurassic Park III is...well....
*_Alan!_*
What’s a bad idea?
And much more ridiculous with its action.
They should have put Arnold in this.
I think the book was meant to be darker, but the 2nd half of this movie feels so poorly written and well, dumb. I would actually vote JP3 above this one, even though it too, has many flaws.
The boat scene, where everyone is dead and the T-rex is trapped, and when Nick, Sarah and Ian, holding a rope, cross the truck without taking a scratch is inexplicable. The film's only two weaknesses. The scene of Eddie trying to save them - accompanied by the fantastic music of John Williams -, on the other hand, is epic.
IIRC the boat at least was supposed to have raptors on it as well which escaped and killed everyone, setting up the ghost-ship with a trapped tyrannosaur still in the hold, but it was removed for time in editing. Leaving behind "everyone's dead on the boat" without explaining how/why and creating an enormous plot hole.
@@fluxx2384 I neither have an explanation for that making sense nor especially want one. Easier to just pretend that bit never happened.
"800 lbs" is also kind of a massive stretch -- a grizzly bear weighs 800 lbs. Even the far too-large raptors from the Jurassic Park movies wouldn't be more than like 150-200lbs or so with their physiology.
The boat works if the man at the button was mortally wounded when he locked the T-Rex in and died after. Imagine in No Country for Old Men reacting to the desert shootout aftermath Brolin stumbles upon by saying "how did the money get taken from the scene, everyone was dead!"
The ecologist/naturalist who thinks T Rex have strong maternal instincts but also sees nothing wrong with taking an injured infant T Rex back to their camp
@@CraigNull The problem was not that the boat continued to function, the problem was that they found the T-Rex trapped and all the crew dead. How did these mortally wounded crew manage to trap the dinosaur?
The animal control van showing up was hilarious
16:00 Also this made me giggle too 😂 glad we’re on the same wavelength 🙌🏼 “increase your rate of climb; must go faster” 😂
And your face here 🤣 17:00
It's hard to put into words what it means to me to come home from work at 1am and have a movie reaction from you waiting on my playlist. It's a balm for my soul. Thank you Cassie.
This is me every time
Yup, same (except for the 1am). It's great to sit down, take a breather, click on TH-cam and see something worthwhile to watch. 👍
24:07 Is by far the best scared reaction I've seen yet from you Cassie. 😂
21:39
28:31 So, what seems like, a random guy being eaten, is actually this movies writer. He also co-wrote JP 1 with Michael Crichton, the author of the JP novel. In this movie, he's credited as "unlucky bastard"
Thanks!
I loved them all!! I was impressed you knew Richard Schiff from The West Wing.
I wonder how you’d react to the Predator. Which is an all time classic. As a kid, Jaws made me hate to get in the water. Predator made me hate to be amongst the trees, bushlands or forests. Lol
Everyone knows the T-Rex is the big bad... but honestly, the Velociraptors are the stars.
The T-Rex would get tired quickly and overheat from a chase, whereas the raptors were better suited for speed, most varieties were small turkey-sized except for the “Utah raptor” about the size of a human. (And the spinosaurs could run for longer times because of the spinal fin to cool down by radiating body heat as they ran.)
In the real word neither lived at the same time. If they did T-Rex would likely have been king, like they were ~66 mill. years ago. Their incredible size, their numbers and them seemingly hunting in packs - awesome!
- All hail "Rex the Formidable" for he is no feeble dog-pet but king!
Truthfully, throughout the series, the T Rex is the hero Dinosaur. Yes, it eats and kills people. But only the bad guys. The Raptors are the Villains and are portrayed to be evil.
@@Bigmanoncampus888 Eddie was a good guy who got eaten, and the T-rex tried to eat the kids in the first movie.
@@juliant yes because it's still an animal. Eddie was a victim of circumstance. The T Rex saves them from the Raptors in the first one, and eats the scummy lawyer. In the second one, the t Rex eats the scummy nephew and others are killed by it who are disrupting the park. In the third one, the t Rex fights the Spino, allowing everyone to escape. In the fourth one, the t Rex fights the indominus, helping to restore a natural balance to nature. In the fifth one, the Rex once again eats the scumbag from the mansion.
The Lost World is cheesy, but fun. Good reaction. It's like Spielberg learned to do more with the dinosaurs. Some of the shots where characters are running or driving in between herds of dinosaurs are amazing. The scene where the ship grounds itself and you learn that a creature mysteriously killed all the crew is a nod to the original Dracula story.
30:08 If you look closely, you can see a 4th person sitting on the couch in the reflection of the tv screen. Steven Spielberg makes a cameo as that 4th person.
The little girl in the beginning was actually in the book which was what the first film was based on, except in that she was killed.
3:29 'I'm not making the same mistake again'/'No, your making all new ones' I love Ian Malcolm! 8:14 'You'll be back in five or six pieces' is a great line too.
5:57 Yep, those are stegosauruses, which I believe are actually Jurassic animals. Velociraptors, T. Rex and Triceratops are late Cretaceous, the era after the Jurassic.
She didn't die if I remember right. She had a horrific allergic reaction to the Compy bites but she didn't die. The newborn later on though.....
@@bellsknell3297 I must have misremembered it, it was a while ago I read it. The idea that some escaped to the mainland is far scarier than more on another island.
Lost World is one of my favorite Jurassic Park films, along with the first one. I really feel like a lot of people don't give it the credit it deserves, and I think part of that is because the harbor scene is so confusing to so many people. I loved your reaction to it. :)
That's because they didn't include the scene that showed velociraptors getting on board and killing the crew before it left the island. IIRC, the boat was on auto-nav the whole trip.
To be honest, the harbor scene is why I hate the movie and it has nothing do with it be confusing. It has to do with it just being dumb in my opinion
Yes, The ending wasn't that great. It felt like a tribute to King Kong and Gorilla more than it's own thing. The whole stealing-the-baby part was pretty dumb. The girl also didn't help the movie... Still enjoyed it, but it could have been much better, imho.
@@jeffreygouse802 Pardon me for asking, but why do you think that happened? No offense, just curious.
19:33 - Those little dinos are very dangerous. They're kind of like land piranhas. They're carnivores and they have a venom that paralyzes their prey.
First of all, great review! I hope you do all of the JP movies. Second, it is so bizarre watching this movie again as an adult (I was 12 when it came out and was obsessed) - not only because of the hilarious plot holes, but also because I've seen these actors in so many other things. Seeing Richard Schiff as a weapons expert after watching West Wing is particularly amazing.
Love your reactions. I like you made the “wood chipper “ reference. And remembered the high hide being a convenient biting position.
@ around 10:14...OMG I about busted a gut..."someone needs to make a phone call"!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh you are so adorable my dear. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best part of this movie is in the beginning, when it looks Jeff Goldblum is on some tropical island but it is just a wall. :)
I like his line in the movie
"Mommy's very angry."
Don’t excuse yourself for enjoying this one. Great reactions as always!
"Do not tell me the T. Rex is driving that boat!" First off, that really made me laugh. Second, there are moments in the other Jurassic Park movies that actually get to that level of ridiculous or at least close to it. If you're going to do the others in the future, like Jurassic Park III, there is a scene in that movie that I don't dare spoil. Let's just say I want you to watch that whole movie just so I can see you react to that scene. Those who've seen it know what I'm talking about.
imagine the rex driving the ship with his tiny hands
Honestly I'm not sure which scene you're refering to, and I've seen the movie multiple times, could you elaborate without spoiling?
@@Masterfighterx "Alan"
@@eliberdinner4808 I know what scene that is lol
@@eliberdinner4808 Ah, so it is the one I thought of lol. I don't get why some people hate it for being silly, it's a dream, a lot can happen in a dream.. Personally, I love it and find it hillarious today 😁
Thanks! Your reactions are the best!
Thank you Jesus!!
@@PopcornInBed I Agree 💯 You're Amazing 💖 Soo love your reactions!!! That last really mean old greedy guy trying to steal the babby T-Rex your like you're Done sir your a gonner ☠️ LOL his greed backfired on him and he gets Eaten up 😋 LOL it's actually kinda funny and he Deserves it wouldn't you agree?
@@PopcornInBed Yess Ma'am 😍💯 Amazing and hey that last really mean old greedy guy. You're like your done Mr your in Soo much trouble sir lol as he's trying to steal that poor baby Rexy then Whoops 🤭 Cronch he basically suffers the consequences of his greedy actions would you agree with me?
28:33 fun fact
the guy that the buck (the male t-rex) eats is David Koepp, he was the screenplay writer and was named 'Unlucky bastard' in the credits.
Vince Vaughn was the real villain in this movie, InGen had everything running smoothly with the dinosaurs safely in captivity until Eco-Rambo VV decided to commit mass murder by releasing them on the camp. Then he brought a baby T-Rex back to his team which not only put them all in grave danger, but led to Eddie getting eaten alive. They only survived because they were *saved* by the so called "evil" InGen team. Again later when they were attacked by the T-Rex in camp, Roland had a clear shot but VV had removed the bullets - which again led to multiple deaths.
Agreed 100%. And maybe it’s because I am a dirty capitalist but the animals are in fact company property so they do have the right to put them into a zoo and recover their losses. Vaughn honestly put the lives of theme park genetic creations over people who were just trying to do their job.
@@notalonewolf20 Exactly, they wanted to put them in a zoo - something we have right now with "normal" animals, where they would've been taken care of as the valuable assets they are. Its not like they wanted to open a chain of Bronto-Burger fast food restaurants...
@@Lakrimoz And considering they would be an invasive species on the island and their chances of survival are low given they’re extinct creatures it’s probably better for them to be in a zoo.
@@Lakrimoz you're not entirely wrong but remember, he was acting on Hammond's orders to do so
@@mg19cal You're right, he was under orders to disrupt & prevent InGen - but I'm not entirely convinced Hammond was aware of the level of wanton destruction and disregard for human life he dished out.
“Put him in a wood chipper “.. you’ve come a long way hahaha
I’m so proud! As in Braveheart, “now you learn to hate.” Jk
Even as a kid nick owen bothered me. He is literally responsible for all those people’s deaths, put Sarah and Kelly’s life at risk and suffered zero consequences for all those deaths. He was a secret villain really.
Exactly right. Nick Owen (Vince Vaughn) was really terrible in this movie. I think he was some eco activist or something.
Letting the dinos loose which destroyed all their gear, so they had to camp outside as they travel to the JP compounds to call for help, to taking that hunter guy's ammo. Which also cause everyone to run into Raptor territory after the T-Rex attacked the campsite.
The fact the character is portrayed as righteous hero is sickening.
I don't get this take. He literally tells the gang he was hired to be a saboteur.
@@callmeshaggy5166 there is sabotage and then there is at best manslaughter. His actions led to many people’s deaths. You could argue it was premeditated as he likely knew releasing the dinos would result in injury or death so murder is a charge. Just because he told them he was a saboteur doesn’t excuse his actions and there consequences
Wouldn't Hammond be responsible as well to some degree? He hired the guy to do something that was almost certain to get people killed. Not to mention that he also oversaw the creation of the creatures that did said killing. How Hammond doesn't go to prison is the real plot hole of this movie.
@@jonharper8963 I'd argue the entire ingen crew were assholes and deserved what they got, so getting trample by dinosaurs was just desserts. Only person on the crew I even thought wouldn't deserve it was big beardo there, but he was stupid and decided a snake in his outfit was worse than getting eaten.
She seriously just say..” someone throw him in a wood chipper…”’too darn funny . Chuckled for a while on that one.
09:48 Deja vu! A glitch in the matrix!
Great reaction! "The Lost World" is actually my favorite part of the series. It's so much more intense than the first one, has better effects and is darker. I even enjoyed the often criticized gymnastics scene. To me, this movie never gets old, just like the first one.
And I like Part III too (though that could be probably because I watched that first and its predecessors later, haha). Would love to watch your reaction to it, Cassie. JP III may be not as good as Part I + II, but it's still a very entertaining movie. And though I don't like the "Jurassic World" sequels that much, it would be also interesting to see your reaction, just to have your insights on them. I mean, even the disappointing sequels of a beloved franchise are still a part of it and are worth to be discussed.
The kids in these movies are usually the worst part of them. The kid in this one was the worst kid of the lot. The kids in the third and fifth films were actually pretty good.
The tiny dinosaurs (Compsognathus or “compys”) have paralytic venom. That’s why they backed away from the Russian guy after biting him a bunch. They were waiting for the venom to take effect.
Nobody knows how the crew dies for sure. Maybe there was something else aboard that escaped before the crash?
I was wondering how the little girl from the very beginning of the movie survived these compys though. Old guy told Sarah that the little girl was fine after the attack on a very casual tone. He didn't mention anything serious like paralysis or something.... Another inconsistency from the movie perhaps? Regardles, I still love this movie. And yes, I'm in the minority, I love the gymnastics part.
"Russian guy" lol, the actor is Swedish and his characters name in this movie is Dieter Stark, so not very Russian name.
@@mrjorenasuncion paralytic venom doesn’t mean you’re paralyzed forever. The venom would have left her system eventually. What saved her was multiple adults who could chase the compys away and get her back on the yacht. These little guys were responsible for one of the most brutal and satisfying deaths in the first book, so when I saw them in the second movie I knew they were going to cause some carnage.
I've been enjoying your reactions to these older movies 🤗 I remembered just now, there is a movie from 1993 that many people may have missed or forgotten about, with Cuba Gooding Jnr, Emilio Estevez and many other familiar faces (Dennis Leary incl), that I though at that time was very good called Judgement Night, it's an action movie and I don't want to give too much away, it will give you scares, but it might be nice to see you react to it.
Yes. What a great movie!
"Sarah! Sarah Harding!" "How many Sarah's do you think are on this island?" 😂
31:49 - EXACTLY! I've been asking myself this question forever - unless there were some raptors on deck, who later dispersed , this moment makes no sense.
“Somebody needs to make some calls!” 😂😂😂
This film reminds me of some old sayings;
1. Any animal, no matter how small, can be dangerous in large enough numbers.
2. You better respect nature, because it sure as hell doesn’t respect you.
Love the fact that Peter Stormare's curses in Swedish are totally NOT PG-13...(which nobody understood at the time of filming that scene)
She really does give the best reactions, her facial expressions are priceless.
Phone calls to whom? This is a privatly owned island (owned by Ingen) and the hunters are contracted by Ingen so they can technically do whatever they want.
Back in 1997, the internet was in it's infancy, and the marketing for this movie was good...and clever. So when I went to see it, in downtown SD, the theatre erupted in cheers when we saw the T Rex running amok in downtown SD!!
