I never considered the idea that the misspelled dinosaur names was a deliberate nod to the park being carelessly built. Way to tie in a nearly-30-year-old goof with one of the main themes of the movie!
I think James' mind just automatically fills these holes in because he's done that with many franchises including the Star Wars prequels and Bond films.
The best thing about Jurassic Park, imo, is that the first half is a fun, sci-fi adventure and the second half is a thrilling sci-fi horror, and that changeover happens at EXACTLY the halfway point of the movie, right as the power is killed and the water in the cup starts to ripple before the T-Rex attack. Even the initial trailer splits things right down the middle, where the first half has the big shots, the wonder, the sweeping spectacle of dinosaurs brought to life, all set to Williams happy music and then, very subtly, right as the T-Rex water ripple scene is shown, the music shifts to something moody and dramatic, and the trailer is edited faster, the shots are darker, and it teases a horror movie. Absolutely brilliant.
Kathleen Kennedy is the best example of putting the worst person in a place of power because she knows the right people… she is like that politician that never goes away and scratches and claws her way to the top
That line has become a bit of a meme, but after recently reading the book, it's explained a lot more and it's actually quite a good point. In fact the character of Malcom in the book comes of as way smarter and less of a creep. He is described as a bit of the academia version of a rock star, but he is also the smartest guy in the room at any point in the book, by a large margin. Highly reccomend the book, it's actually quite a fun read and has enough differences from the movie to make it a pretty much seperate story. The movie is more of an alternate take on the idea rather than a book to movie adaptation. The characters and general plot is shared but the specifics are very different and the story is told in a different way.
The Barbasol can is a major MacGuffin in Jurassic Park: The TellTale game. It’s kind of underwhelming game, but in retrospect I guess it’s about the same quality as The Lost World. Which according to Mason, is about as good as the rest of the movies.
7:00 point of contention, that is a *real* system being used for the parks that existed at the time. It was a kind of experimental 3D proto-VR UNIX system navigator that had recently been developed. And yes, it was ludicrously inefficient and a huge processing hog that made it rather unpopular. As an aside the brand new nature of it also lends credence to the idea that a little girl obsessed with computers would know about it but a senior programmer would have no idea how to work it. As a further bonus this also lends credence that Hammond really did pay enough for a good computer system for the park, but Ned fucked it all up by using such an ineffective setup.
The screen presence of Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum and Wayne Knight just burns off the screen. Amazing how fun and iconic Samuel L. Jackson and Wayne Knight can make sitting in offices typing on early 90s computers.
I mean if that park existed in real life today, the way it's depicted in the movie is *EXACTLY* how it would be. Big name brands and chains out the wazoo. I have no problem whatsoever with how the park is depicted in Jurassic World because....yeah, that's literally what it would be like if it was a real thing in the 21st century.
@@ry_jayy the park's management completely throwing scientific accuracy out the window, in favor of making the dinosaurs more 'cool' and dramatic, until they just look like monsters, is a great idea too. They don't really do much with it though.
yeah, that's all good and all until you get caught then thrown in jail. then your dumb ass will be in a cell thinking "huh, maybe I should have just toughened up and not whined about pay"
"There's like a lot of scientists and then 8 blokes just being like THIS IS FUCKED!" Jurassic Park IS a start-up, so only having a couple of over worked under paid programmers checks out...
Thank you James for saying nedry isn't a villian in the book it's very realistic that he'd do that and Hammond is a terrible man in the book he said he could use his tech to cure cancer but he won't because he wouldn't be able to charge what he wants for it
So Sam Jackson lost an arm in this movie, via a scary dinosaur. Sam Jackson also lost an arm in your last Caravan of Garbage via a scary Jedi/Sith! Which I'm sure was done on purpose and has nothing to do with the fact a new Jurassic Park movie is around the corner. It's all related! Brilliant work you two!!!
@@Morgil27 I gotta be honest, I was totally lying as a joke, making a reference to him insisting Mace Windu is alive. But then they said in the video he really did say that.
Joining his take on "The Lion King", this is a fun addition to the series of "Mason is completely wrong and will never back down from his bad opinions" videos.
I cannot put into words how much the original Jurassic Park means to me. I was actually a huge dinosaur nerd since aorund 1991 (when I was 5-6), so seeing realistic, "real" dinosaurs in a movie was like a revelation. I was too young to see it in cinema, but my parents knew how much I loved dinosaurs, they bought the VHS as soon as it was available. I will never forget the evening where my parents, and me and my younger brother watched the film together. We were all at the edge of our seat. It was better than going to the movies. It was a special experience. I loved the movie so much, that on my 9th birthday I had to show it to my friends, who were not allowed to watch that movie (in my country it was rated 12+). It went so far that when their parents came to pick them up, they were upset at my parents that they let them watch the film hahaha.
As someone born around 10 years after it came out I completely agree with you. I remember my mum putting this film on and being slightly traumatised but also amazed.
I find it sad that Jurassic World never made the same effort to make its dinosaur reconstructions up to date, save with the pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus now in Dominion ( they even made the hands point to the animal's side when it stands on the ground. That is how they were actually positioned in life ). In replicating the JP dinosaurs, they failed to replicate what made them so wonderful in the first place.
MAN! I can relate. I was around 5 or 6 when I first seen the movie and I had a JP tent that I would hide in during the scary bits 😂 Still one of my favorite movies to this day (in my 30s)the new films failed to capture the magic and I must admit the nostalgia bug bit me pretty hard with Jurassic World 2015 it was 25 years later on a movie I absolutely adored as a kid and still do so I went to the theaters to see it. Thought I’d was great until the nostalgia wore off and I just felt empty . Anyhoo hopefully this new one is better and I don’t fall for the nostalgia bait again… I probably will though 😂
I watched it so many times as a kid, that I kind of forgot it's basically a horror film. The first time I showed it to my girlfriend (who is Chinese and had never seen it) it was like a whole new experience
It is easy to forget how much better this looked than any other dinosaur movie before it. Now, we're spoiled, but before this, dinosaurs in movies were mostly ruled by style and willingness to suspend disbelief.
I don't really gatekeep anything. Anyone is allowed to like or dislike whatever media they want. I think people gatekeep a lot of stuff that is good at best (the Raimi trilogy and the star wars prequels namely) but Jurassic Park is genuinely as close to cinematic perfection as we've ever gotten. The characters are extremely tight and stick to the theme of Progress vs classical ways. That theme and the characters that uphold it are constantly being challenged. Ian challenges both Grant and Hammond. The kids challenge Grant, while Ellie, Ray, and Muldoon, challenge Hammond. No one is wasted. The rivaling mentalities of Grant's immovable fear of the future, as he's bad with tech and doesn't like kids (the future), clashes with Hammonds 'blind progress at all costs' mentality. Shortcuts are fine as long as we pursue progress! And by the end neither character is a villain and they both learn to meet in the middle. Hammond learns to curb his hubris from Ellie in the restaurant and Grant trusts Lex to be the one to save the day, a girl, a kid, and a tech savvy one is the ultimate hero, not the grizzled white man of 40. There are no wasted scenes in this film, everything even Grant fumbling with the seat belts has purpose! Note he had two female seat belt parts that don't traditionally click, but he tied them together to achieve the same result. Direct imagery of two females and life finding a way in the first 20 minutes of the film. This movie is absolute art and Mason is an irredeemable dunce for not recognizing that. (obviously a joke, Maso you're fine, I just wanted to gush about a movie I love)
Sad that I immediately think of the three Spider-man movies than the Evil Dead trilogy when someone says "Raimi trilogy". 2 Evil Dead's are great, third is kind of ehh, 2 Spider-man films are great, third one is kind of ehh. Both kick the crap out of the Prequels. I still swear to this day that Attack of the Clones isn't a movie, it's a two and a half hour ad for Revenge of the Sith.... while the Phantom Menace is a two hour plus toy commercial. "Roger roger"- best dialogue from the first movie.
Whilst I agree with absolutely everything you've said on Jurassic Park, one of my absolute faves, I don't agree on the Raimi films being "good at best", I understand the first and third, despite my love for them, to an extent but the second film deserves the recognition. I feel the fanbase does go well overboard with how gatekeepy they can be about it, for sure, but SM2 is a genuinely well crafted film in so many ways that I understand why so many react that way towards it and it saddens me to still see a tonne of people say otherwise despite understanding everyone has differing opinions.
I agree completely. The books, despite what some may think, were fantastic reads at the time. Have went back and re-read Jurassic park and lost world a few times throughout the years. The film, however changed a few scenes and key moments, still felt fresh and rehashed in a way that the changes, felt welcomed. I still enjoy Jurassic Park the movie as well, to this day. Cheers
That really was a sad moment. When Walt Disney, on his deathbed, got out a piece of paper and scribbled "Now announcing Kurt Russell as Ego the Living Planet" before fucking dying
The Barbasol can reoccurs in the Telltale Jurassic Park game as a MacGuffin. I think the reason it didn't reoccur in any of the films is because, as stated in this movie, it only has enough coolant inside to preserve the embryos for 36 hours (just long enough to get the embryos back to the mainland and put into more permanent storage). So you'd have to set the plot of whatever sequel(s) immediately in the wake of the first film (as the Telltale game does), which I don't think appealed to Spielberg as it limited the locations and situations.
But it got buried in mud, Justin! If films have taught me anything, it's that mud has infinitely insulating properties! Predator couldn't even see through mud and he's an aliem! But no, it's only been an enduring myth because it was so obviously intended as sequelbait that never paid off, but realistically it wouldn't make any kind of sense. You wouldn't have to set the actual film as a direct temporal sequel though, just throw in the callback as being the genesis of whatever is going on years later so we all clap when we see it. Honestly, I won't be shocked if it _does_ make some kind of appearance in the new movie.
I liked the idea that the big macguffin that he risked his life for was just dropped in the mud and lost forever. A nice commentary on the futility of human endeavor, and whatnot. The idea that it was really meant to be an ongoing story element is by comparison depressingly mundane.
Similarly we all await the hotly anticipated Xmas special featuring that Grinchy little character Who tries to Steal Christmas… The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t But Then Was Again
In my little Australian town, Jurassic Park was the only film to have been screened at the town hall in the last 30 years. It was far from a cinema experience, but someone went to a lot of effort to arrange that showing back in the school holidays of 1993. That and knowing there was a stainless steel kitchen in the next room while watching the raptors in a similar kitchen make it a pretty unique experience.
The T-Rex roar still gives me goosebumps. Also, could you ever imagine a raptor not sounding like in Jurassic Park? If you went back in time and actually heared a raptor you'd just say it's fake.
Funnily enough they were much smaller than in the movie,in fact the Raptors in the movie are based on Deinonychus,but i am guessing they didn't think the name popped.
@@zacharyturner2944 Wow,you enjoy belittling strangers on the internet. I didn't watch the whole video,sue me. Also i was replying to the op who seemed not to know this,though i did it without belittling them,you should try it.
Phil Tippett had one job, ONE JOB, for the movie "Jurassic Park." He was the "Dinosaur Supervisor," but if you've seen the film, dinosaurs were clearly not supervised very well
Jeff Goldblum’s character arc between this movie and the second one is very interesting. Goes from a jokester trying to cope with the trauma in the first movie, to PTSD in the second movie being the only guy who knows dinos are a bad idea and getting roped into going back because everyone ignores him.
He only went back because Hammond sent his girlfriend there and she didnt even bother telling him when she got there. Poor Ian lmao Grant only went back for $$$$$$
I respect Mason's brilliant move of having the single worst take in movie review history for the sole purpose of pumping up the comment section in order to appease the algorithm. I see you.
This one stands above the rest for me. A lot of that is nostalgia I'm sure. I was 12 when it came by out. The John Williams score is another big factor. I got the cd from Columbia House and played it constantly.
I'd have to agree. I'd say this one is easily the best out of all of them. I don't even remember the second Jurassic World movie and I have no plans to see the latest one. Which is really sad because I loved these movies when I was younger. They just lost that magic for me. And yes, as soon as I got a car that I could play CDs in I had the soundtrack going. It was extra fun when it was raining.
It's not just nostalgia, it is a beyond a single doubt that not only is this the best film in the franchise, it's the only genuinely good one. The rest are superfluous retreads.
well that movie was garbage lmao im not even cynical I liked jurassic world, fallen kingdom was forgettable but fine, but dominion.....what the fuck hahahaha
The Shaving cream can actually shows up in the Jurrassic Park Telltale game. The same people who hired Nedry hired a group of Mercenaries to find Nedry and the can. Could be worth a video playing through the game.
(11:03) They actually said something like "looks like we're extinct". Spielberg liked the sound of that and put it in the movie with Jeff Goldblum's character saying it. (Haven't finished the video, so this might be in the Dino-trivia section. 😉)
That stuff that mason says at the beginning of the video about how all the jurassic park movies are of the same quality is exactly how I feel about star wars, all 3 trilogies.
I've gotta admit, I thought it was really cool that the JP novel had all the charts and diagrams. It actually taught me a lot about statistics, scientific analysis, population tracking, and so on. And you could skip over them if you wanted to (which I did the first time I read it in 6th grade, just before the movie came out). I'm a graphic designer (among other things) so I'm big on encouraging visualizations. Sometimes they're the most efficient way to get info across.
I am surprised they never mentioned the fact that the dinosaurs are only ever on screen for a grand total of about 15 minutes. And yet, still a brilliant movie.
Surely Maso's old enough to have seen the impact of Jurassic Park at the time. The movie works on a few different levels, and the character development is fantastic, with Grant learning to adapt and overcome his aversion to children, becoming more family ready for Ellie, like you know, life finds a way.
He probably doesn't factor in the number of "firsts" in a movie and only counts the number of "bests". For example, the dinosaur attack scenes in the 3 different movies he's seen are all similar levels of thrilling, so the 3 movies are similar quality
I absolutely love this series. On top of being both a hilarious and interesting style of review- it's also really informative. Watching the prequel reviews and then this has actually given me real insight into the production behind these movies which I had no clue about before. I'd say these reviews are always of equal quality, just like the Jurassic Park Franchise
This movie is genuinely my favourite movie of all time, perfect storytelling, great cast, outstanding soundtrack, brilliant directing, and I even love the little mistakes and inaccuracies. I can't wait for the Lost World next week I think it's incredibly underrated! It has some amazing action set pieces, and a young Vince Vaughn! AND one of my favourite characters from the franchise: Roland Tembo played by the late great Pete Postlethwaite!
Fun fact: I was once a nanny to a 2 1/2 year old. Her fave movies? The Sound of Music and Jurassic Park. TSoM fell a close second to the guy getting eaten on the toilet. This little girl absolutely loved that scene. She’d watch it for hours (if you let her), patiently rewinding the vhs to watch those few seconds on repeat.
I’m glad to hear that someone else also feels that Nedry isn’t a pure evil character. The book in particular has me thinking he was just a really poorly treated employee. They threaten him with blackmail and everything if he doesn’t complete the system or tries to quit it’s unbelievable.
Kids: That's not how dinosaurs looked! These are inaccurate! John Hammond: Oh... okay *beats the dinosaurs to death with his cane. Points to the kid* You happy now?
The Barbasol Can does reappear in the Jurassic Park Telltale Game (which has a man knife fight a raptor and is therefore more valid than anything in camp cretaceous), where the canon ending has it stepped on and destroyed by the T Rex.
Right as the movie was being released, they actually discovered a larger raptor species called the “Utah Raptor,” which were almost exactly like the Dinos in the movie.
I love this movie. It is great. But I would LOVE to see a remake that is more closely in line with the book. The book is great. I think I've read it 4 or 5 times.
I kind of agree. One of the standout parts for me is when they manage to regain control of the park again, start sorting the escaped dinosaurs out, then it all goes to shit because of a system flaw. You almost get redemption before it's yanked away again.
I'm gonna be real: the Barbasol can in Jurassic Park may be the smartest product branding I've ever seen in a movie. They made their product an integral part of the movie and it never seemed forced. Like, I use Barbasol shaving cream as an adult because I saw that can in the movie as a kid, lol.
“Life er, eh, um, finds a way” - Sir Ian Malcolm “Hold on to your butts” - Samuel L Jackson’s character “Please!?!?? I hate this jacket shit” - also Salmuel L Jackson’s character
I still remember when I saw this in June 1993. First thought that came to mind was “If Disney world spiraled out of control” {had no idea universal would do a section of it in 1999 lol} but I was beyond fascinated with the visuals and music but also the raptor chase in the kitchen was creepy and alien 1979-esque tension. Good video, guys! Can’t wait for the lost world roast next week! 😁👍🏻🦖
Nedry would've been in so much trouble if he got away with it. He totally implicates himself with his hacker stunt. In the book he actually planned to get the barbasol can to a freezer on the ship and then head back to his work station.
Maybe the pivot in the movie, and their comment on the fences not needing to be down, was Nedry trying to get everyone killed? I agree he's trying to sneak out and back in the book and that's why he rushes and crashes his vehicle...and then gets gruesomely killed.
I'm pretty sure that's his plan in the movie too, he only plans for the fences to be out for 18 minutes which implies that either he's coming back or that he's set it to come back on automatically so he can't be implicated. The only reason people notice start to notice the problem is that he didn't realize (or care) that the fences were on the same circuit as the rides everyone was riding in, which left Grant & everyone else stranded in front of the T-Rex at the exact wrong time. Also for some reason he tries to do this all in the middle of a freakin' tropical storm, leading him to get lost, crash, and die. Presumably if he'd planned this out a little better (and/or if the kids/Grant/Sattler/Malcolm weren't outside when the fences went down) he would've/could've gotten away clean and made it back with everyone none the wiser. The only real question is if he's an idiot who didn't auto-time the fences to come back on after 18 minutes or if his little "secret word" bug messed up the fences further, which would make him an idiot _and_ an asshole.
@@TwoPairSA It's been too long since I have seen the movie OR read the book to be sure one way or the other. I have this feeling like at least in the book the tropical storm was something Nedry used intentionally to help cover his tracks. But I'd say we could safely give him idiot to things non-computer along with asshole.
I grew up with the first movie in the early 90s. And to this day everytime I watch it. It feels like Steven got the formula right with Jurassic park. The cast, the shots of each scene, the animatronics perfectly blended with the CGI. All the way down to the acting. It was so believable. John, Arnold, Mr. Muldoon, Ellie, the kids. The staff running the park. I was totally convinced that they had ZERO clue of the catastrophic failures and terrors ahead of them during the film. The dark shading they used when the raptors bursted for the first time.the water tremoring right before The T rex rips through it's paddock and experiences the outside environment for its first time while the park guests tremble in fear of this Genetically modified BEAST lumbering around them. I still feel like it is the best Jurassic Park out of the whole series.
The movie that inspired everyone to become a paleontologist until they realized the pay was terrible and you'd never be doing anything as cool as the movie portrayed
How many archaeologists were spawned from Raiders? How big is Spielberg's revenue stream from institutions of higher learning for pumping up enrollment in low paying esoteric fields of employment?
"WHY IS THERE 8 STAFF?" Because all the dozens of other staff were non-essential, who were forced to evacuate to the mainland before that big storm took place. As explained in film.
@ManFlabs Well....um...they graphically describe the deaths in detail. I love dinosaurs and I love all the deaths in films but the book actually freaked me out horribly.
Not gonna lie, I was like- "We didn't see the dinos anyway. Who cares if it's accurate? Both is fine." But the raptors in Prehistoric Planet are...kinda winning me over, not gonna lie.
7:39 … that shot of Oppenheimer, though! Totally missed it when I first saw this when I was 22 (didn’t know who he was back then). Christ, that was FORESHADOWING!!
If anyone wants the full story wrt the "velociraptor"/"deinonychus" thing, as best I've been able to piece it together, here's what seems to have happened. In 1988, renowned Paleoartist Gregory S. Paul released the incredibly popular book "Predatory Dinosaurs of the World". In this book, he lumped many separate dinosaur genera together, including classifying Deinonychus as a Velociraptor species. As far as I can find, no palaeontologist has ever argued in favour of this classification. However, the incredibly popular book put this mistake out into the public. It is true that Michael Crichton once said in an interview that Deinonychus was classified as a Velociraptor at the time, and Velociraptor was the better sounding name, so he used that. However, he was mistaken in believing that classification was at all supported by science. Paul is seemingly the only person to have ever attempted to classify it as such, and frankly he should've known better. Crichton once cited Predatory Dinosaurs of the World as an inspiration for Jurassic Park, so I think we know where he picked up that particular misconception. A few other tidbits: while the book raptors do seem to have been based on Deinonychus, or at least Crichton's poorly-researched idea of them, the movie versions are scaled up and monster-ified to a point that its even more ridiculous to call them Deinonychus. Finally, Dr Darren Naish has evidence that he protested the lack of feathers on the raptors at the movie's premiere, so like, even in 1993 it seems there was some evidence to support feathering them. Ultimately though, Jurassic Park (1993) did a lot to finally bring the ideas of the Dinosaur Renaissance into public awareness, but today, nearly 30 years later, it desperately needs something to take its place in that regard. Prehistoric Planet sure would've been good for that if it had a reasonable distribution instead of being a friggin apple tv exclusive, I mean who has ever even thought about apple tv for anything else?
And in general, whilst Crichton tries to add science-y stuff to his fiction, he still adds fiction to make the story work. Hence the T-Rex in the book threw the Jeep up into a tree. The scale/power was all wonky even for a big predator like that. But it was quite a compelling read. Spielberg clearly brought that down a bit and worked the Jeep-in-tree into the film in a more realistic manner.
@@oneopinion6806 Yeah, but unfortunately Speilberg completely completely ruins physical geography in the scene, because it's incredibly unclear where the cliff that the Trex pushes the car off comes from. All the cable are torn, so it seems like it's right where the Rex just came through the fence, but if that's the case how did it get up there if it's a 40ft drop? Even as a kid I found it super distracting.
If you’re ever scared of asking that girl out, always remember that Mason publicly declared that the Jurassic World films were a turning point in the history of cinema.
"Maybe Nedry could have gotten a different job, like at Microsoft??" "Probably would have been less dinosaurs... "Probably a similar number of trips to a mysterious island, though" *chef's kiss*
"And then like eight blokes just being like THIS IS FUCKED."
James aptly describes pretty much every job i've ever worked at.
FOR REAL. Ingen is a perfect example of every administration that ignores the pleas of the wage workers.
Definitely the most iconic line in this film full of iconic lines:

James and Mason were so preoccupied with whether they could be snarky about Jurassic Park, they didn't stop to think if they should.
**awkward, sleazy, gum-chewing Jeff Goldblum laugh**
They, uh, find a way.
That line has become a bit of a meme, but after recently reading the book, it's explained a lot more and it's actually quite a good point. In fact the character of Malcom in the book comes of as way smarter and less of a creep. He is described as a bit of the academia version of a rock star, but he is also the smartest guy in the room at any point in the book, by a large margin.
Highly reccomend the book, it's actually quite a fun read and has enough differences from the movie to make it a pretty much seperate story. The movie is more of an alternate take on the idea rather than a book to movie adaptation. The characters and general plot is shared but the specifics are very different and the story is told in a different way.
The Barbasol can is a major MacGuffin in Jurassic Park: The TellTale game. It’s kind of underwhelming game, but in retrospect I guess it’s about the same quality as The Lost World. Which according to Mason, is about as good as the rest of the movies.
The idea that this MASTERPIECE isn't way better than JP3 is insane, Mason

yeah, that's all good and all until you get caught then thrown in jail. then your dumb ass will be in a cell thinking "huh, maybe I should have just toughened up and not whined about pay"
Who knew Jurassic park series were such pro union movies haha
@@MK-gv1wd It reminds me of how people say that you like SpongeBob as a kid, but as you get older you realize Squidward is almost too relatable.
"There's like a lot of scientists and then 8 blokes just being like THIS IS FUCKED!"
Jurassic Park IS a start-up, so only having a couple of over worked under paid programmers checks out...
Thank you James for saying nedry isn't a villian in the book it's very realistic that he'd do that and Hammond is a terrible man in the book he said he could use his tech to cure cancer but he won't because he wouldn't be able to charge what he wants for it
Mason lost me with his terrible hot-take and then completely redeemed himself with the "Phil Tippett-toes" joke. What a rollercoaster.
So Sam Jackson lost an arm in this movie, via a scary dinosaur. Sam Jackson also lost an arm in your last Caravan of Garbage via a scary Jedi/Sith! Which I'm sure was done on purpose and has nothing to do with the fact a new Jurassic Park movie is around the corner. It's all related! Brilliant work you two!!!
Sam Jackson actually insists that Arnold survived.
@@HiperPivociarz seeing as he wasn't on the escape helicopter, that would mean they abandoned him to fend for himself on the island.
@@Morgil27 I gotta be honest, I was totally lying as a joke, making a reference to him insisting Mace Windu is alive. But then they said in the video he really did say that.
Sooo, you're saying a spin-off show where Sam Jackson's two lost arms do high-fives, gang signs and solve mysteries together?
@@bbreimm I would watch.
Joining his take on "The Lion King", this is a fun addition to the series of "Mason is completely wrong and will never back down from his bad opinions" videos.
The lion king is so just mid
I cannot put into words how much the original Jurassic Park means to me. I was actually a huge dinosaur nerd since aorund 1991 (when I was 5-6), so seeing realistic, "real" dinosaurs in a movie was like a revelation. I was too young to see it in cinema, but my parents knew how much I loved dinosaurs, they bought the VHS as soon as it was available. I will never forget the evening where my parents, and me and my younger brother watched the film together. We were all at the edge of our seat. It was better than going to the movies. It was a special experience.
I loved the movie so much, that on my 9th birthday I had to show it to my friends, who were not allowed to watch that movie (in my country it was rated 12+). It went so far that when their parents came to pick them up, they were upset at my parents that they let them watch the film hahaha.
As someone born around 10 years after it came out I completely agree with you. I remember my mum putting this film on and being slightly traumatised but also amazed.
I find it sad that Jurassic World never made the same effort to make its dinosaur reconstructions up to date, save with the pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus now in Dominion ( they even made the hands point to the animal's side when it stands on the ground. That is how they were actually positioned in life ). In replicating the JP dinosaurs, they failed to replicate what made them so wonderful in the first place.
MAN! I can relate. I was around 5 or 6 when I first seen the movie and I had a JP tent that I would hide in during the scary bits 😂 Still one of my favorite movies to this day (in my 30s)the new films failed to capture the magic and I must admit the nostalgia bug bit me pretty hard with Jurassic World 2015 it was 25 years later on a movie I absolutely adored as a kid and still do so I went to the theaters to see it. Thought I’d was great until the nostalgia wore off and I just felt empty . Anyhoo hopefully this new one is better and I don’t fall for the nostalgia bait again… I probably will though 😂
I watched it so many times as a kid, that I kind of forgot it's basically a horror film. The first time I showed it to my girlfriend (who is Chinese and had never seen it) it was like a whole new experience
It is easy to forget how much better this looked than any other dinosaur movie before it. Now, we're spoiled, but before this, dinosaurs in movies were mostly ruled by style and willingness to suspend disbelief.
Still think Dinosaurs on screen have never looked better, especially the escape scene
I don't really gatekeep anything. Anyone is allowed to like or dislike whatever media they want. I think people gatekeep a lot of stuff that is good at best (the Raimi trilogy and the star wars prequels namely) but Jurassic Park is genuinely as close to cinematic perfection as we've ever gotten. The characters are extremely tight and stick to the theme of Progress vs classical ways. That theme and the characters that uphold it are constantly being challenged. Ian challenges both Grant and Hammond. The kids challenge Grant, while Ellie, Ray, and Muldoon, challenge Hammond. No one is wasted. The rivaling mentalities of Grant's immovable fear of the future, as he's bad with tech and doesn't like kids (the future), clashes with Hammonds 'blind progress at all costs' mentality. Shortcuts are fine as long as we pursue progress! And by the end neither character is a villain and they both learn to meet in the middle. Hammond learns to curb his hubris from Ellie in the restaurant and Grant trusts Lex to be the one to save the day, a girl, a kid, and a tech savvy one is the ultimate hero, not the grizzled white man of 40.
There are no wasted scenes in this film, everything even Grant fumbling with the seat belts has purpose! Note he had two female seat belt parts that don't traditionally click, but he tied them together to achieve the same result. Direct imagery of two females and life finding a way in the first 20 minutes of the film.
This movie is absolute art and Mason is an irredeemable dunce for not recognizing that. (obviously a joke, Maso you're fine, I just wanted to gush about a movie I love)
Well said friend m. I agree 110%
Sad that I immediately think of the three Spider-man movies than the Evil Dead trilogy when someone says "Raimi trilogy". 2 Evil Dead's are great, third is kind of ehh, 2 Spider-man films are great, third one is kind of ehh.
Both kick the crap out of the Prequels. I still swear to this day that Attack of the Clones isn't a movie, it's a two and a half hour ad for Revenge of the Sith.... while the Phantom Menace is a two hour plus toy commercial. "Roger roger"- best dialogue from the first movie.
Whilst I agree with absolutely everything you've said on Jurassic Park, one of my absolute faves, I don't agree on the Raimi films being "good at best", I understand the first and third, despite my love for them, to an extent but the second film deserves the recognition. I feel the fanbase does go well overboard with how gatekeepy they can be about it, for sure, but SM2 is a genuinely well crafted film in so many ways that I understand why so many react that way towards it and it saddens me to still see a tonne of people say otherwise despite understanding everyone has differing opinions.
I agree completely. The books, despite what some may think, were fantastic reads at the time. Have went back and re-read Jurassic park and lost world a few times throughout the years. The film, however changed a few scenes and key moments, still felt fresh and rehashed in a way that the changes, felt welcomed. I still enjoy Jurassic Park the movie as well, to this day. Cheers
I think people put more thought into this movie than the creators did.
That really was a sad moment. When Walt Disney, on his deathbed, got out a piece of paper and scribbled "Now announcing Kurt Russell as Ego the Living Planet" before fucking dying
"and make him a celestial too"
The Barbasol can reoccurs in the Telltale Jurassic Park game as a MacGuffin. I think the reason it didn't reoccur in any of the films is because, as stated in this movie, it only has enough coolant inside to preserve the embryos for 36 hours (just long enough to get the embryos back to the mainland and put into more permanent storage). So you'd have to set the plot of whatever sequel(s) immediately in the wake of the first film (as the Telltale game does), which I don't think appealed to Spielberg as it limited the locations and situations.
We have Dodgson here.
Spielberg wanted it to be in the sequel. Michael Crichton just didn't write it into the book at all.
But it got buried in mud, Justin! If films have taught me anything, it's that mud has infinitely insulating properties! Predator couldn't even see through mud and he's an aliem!
But no, it's only been an enduring myth because it was so obviously intended as sequelbait that never paid off, but realistically it wouldn't make any kind of sense. You wouldn't have to set the actual film as a direct temporal sequel though, just throw in the callback as being the genesis of whatever is going on years later so we all clap when we see it. Honestly, I won't be shocked if it _does_ make some kind of appearance in the new movie.
I liked the idea that the big macguffin that he risked his life for was just dropped in the mud and lost forever. A nice commentary on the futility of human endeavor, and whatnot. The idea that it was really meant to be an ongoing story element is by comparison depressingly mundane.
I'm glad someone brought up the game, I was hoping they would, but I understand it flying under their radar.
Ok cool, but when are you guys going to cover Billy and the Cloneasaurus?
Good point. Why didn't this cultural landmark project come up in their discussion?!
They also need to do that Keanu Reeves classic, The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down
Or the Brad Pitt classic. Meet Joe Blow.
Similarly we all await the hotly anticipated Xmas special featuring that Grinchy little character Who tries to Steal Christmas…
The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t But Then Was Again
oh you've got to be kidding me. First they take an idea that's already been done, then they give it a name that nobody could possibly like.
James Cameron's pitch for Jurassic Park was writing Jura$$ic Park on a whiteboard
In my little Australian town, Jurassic Park was the only film to have been screened at the town hall in the last 30 years.
It was far from a cinema experience, but someone went to a lot of effort to arrange that showing back in the school holidays of 1993. That and knowing there was a stainless steel kitchen in the next room while watching the raptors in a similar kitchen make it a pretty unique experience.
The T-Rex roar still gives me goosebumps.
Also, could you ever imagine a raptor not sounding like in Jurassic Park? If you went back in time and actually heared a raptor you'd just say it's fake.
It’d probably sound like a big crow, only dumber 🤪
Funnily enough they were much smaller than in the movie,in fact the Raptors in the movie are based on Deinonychus,but i am guessing they didn't think the name popped.
Trex raw was made using a mixture of 3 animals crocodile lion and an elephant
@@Elcapitaan5 Wow that’s exactly what they said in the video. Good job 👍🏻
@@zacharyturner2944 Wow,you enjoy belittling strangers on the internet. I didn't watch the whole video,sue me. Also i was replying to the op who seemed not to know this,though i did it without belittling them,you should try it.
This film inspired me to become a palaeontologist. I now have a masters in palaeontology, on the evolution of fossil horse feet.
Because it behoofs you eh?
"Hold onto your butts." One of the greatest lines in Movie History.
Phil Tippett had one job, ONE JOB, for the movie "Jurassic Park." He was the "Dinosaur Supervisor," but if you've seen the film, dinosaurs were clearly not supervised very well
Well why don't you try to contain huge rampaging T-Rex!
I’ve always been impressed with John Williams use of the kazoo for the score.
Jeff Goldblum’s character arc between this movie and the second one is very interesting. Goes from a jokester trying to cope with the trauma in the first movie, to PTSD in the second movie being the only guy who knows dinos are a bad idea and getting roped into going back because everyone ignores him.
He only went back because Hammond sent his girlfriend there and she didnt even bother telling him when she got there. Poor Ian lmao Grant only went back for $$$$$$
10:04 Ayy glad to see Dino Thunder and I'm still in awe of how beautiful the practical and CGI looks in that movie
Power Rangers ROAR!
Ok in hindsight, seeing Alan continuously trolling children is actually really funny. Especially when you guys do a super cut lol
Mason: *doesn’t really think Jurassic Park is that good*
Humanity: We’re gonna stop you right there.
We've found the 'patient zero' edgelord... Mason is their king.
I love Hugo Weaving and Meg Ryan's performances in this movie.
The Riddick films would be great for this series. Lots of interesting things to talk about both good and bad.
I respect Mason's brilliant move of having the single worst take in movie review history for the sole purpose of pumping up the comment section in order to appease the algorithm. I see you.
This one stands above the rest for me. A lot of that is nostalgia I'm sure. I was 12 when it came by out. The John Williams score is another big factor. I got the cd from Columbia House and played it constantly.
I'd have to agree. I'd say this one is easily the best out of all of them. I don't even remember the second Jurassic World movie and I have no plans to see the latest one. Which is really sad because I loved these movies when I was younger. They just lost that magic for me. And yes, as soon as I got a car that I could play CDs in I had the soundtrack going. It was extra fun when it was raining.
Sure. But it's actually a great movie.
It's not just nostalgia, it is a beyond a single doubt that not only is this the best film in the franchise, it's the only genuinely good one. The rest are superfluous retreads.
"Big Tim the human piece of toast" is my absolute favorite part/line from this movie. So ridiculous, so perfect.
This film is everything a blockbuster should be. This is one of the best. Can't wait to see Sam, Laura, and Jeff back together in Dominion.
well that movie was garbage lmao im not even cynical I liked jurassic world, fallen kingdom was forgettable but fine, but dominion.....what the fuck hahahaha
Yeah...how did that work out for you.
Such a let down on so many levels.
Phil Tippet is an actual genius; He's been working for years on a film called Mad God that's just pure tone porn.
7:10 The flying through boxes is not a "Future computer" interface. It's an actual Unix build from back then called Irix.
If so, the first programmers were a hilarious mix of geniuses, jokesters, and psychopaths.
The Shaving cream can actually shows up in the Jurrassic Park Telltale game. The same people who hired Nedry hired a group of Mercenaries to find Nedry and the can. Could be worth a video playing through the game.
Sound is underrated in this movie. The t Rex breaking the fence was so immensely improved by the sound.
ping-ping-ping!
Maso just shows up to every episode and chooses violence, and we love him for it.
Of all the jurassic park movies, this is certainly one of them. Saw it twice in the cinema in 1994, liked it so much left wanting more.
(11:03) They actually said something like "looks like we're extinct". Spielberg liked the sound of that and put it in the movie with Jeff Goldblum's character saying it. (Haven't finished the video, so this might be in the Dino-trivia section. 😉)
I love that Mason has no idea what's waiting for him in Jurassic Park III
That stuff that mason says at the beginning of the video about how all the jurassic park movies are of the same quality is exactly how I feel about star wars, all 3 trilogies.
When ya need something to watch, The boys got you covered
Season 3 starts this week!!!
@@anubusx Think they meant James and Mason lol
I've gotta admit, I thought it was really cool that the JP novel had all the charts and diagrams. It actually taught me a lot about statistics, scientific analysis, population tracking, and so on. And you could skip over them if you wanted to (which I did the first time I read it in 6th grade, just before the movie came out).
I'm a graphic designer (among other things) so I'm big on encouraging visualizations. Sometimes they're the most efficient way to get info across.
Four Samuel L. Jackson movies in a row!
The man does a lot of muthaf***in movies 😁
I am surprised they never mentioned the fact that the dinosaurs are only ever on screen for a grand total of about 15 minutes. And yet, still a brilliant movie.
Surely Maso's old enough to have seen the impact of Jurassic Park at the time. The movie works on a few different levels, and the character development is fantastic, with Grant learning to adapt and overcome his aversion to children, becoming more family ready for Ellie, like you know, life finds a way.
He probably doesn't factor in the number of "firsts" in a movie and only counts the number of "bests". For example, the dinosaur attack scenes in the 3 different movies he's seen are all similar levels of thrilling, so the 3 movies are similar quality
Mason doesn't look a day over 25
Maso is joking, y'all.
@@manflabs5209 or a different age
I absolutely love this series. On top of being both a hilarious and interesting style of review- it's also really informative. Watching the prequel reviews and then this has actually given me real insight into the production behind these movies which I had no clue about before. I'd say these reviews are always of equal quality, just like the Jurassic Park Franchise
That mysterious island joke really got me, I was not expecting that
This movie is genuinely my favourite movie of all time, perfect storytelling, great cast, outstanding soundtrack, brilliant directing, and I even love the little mistakes and inaccuracies. I can't wait for the Lost World next week I think it's incredibly underrated! It has some amazing action set pieces, and a young Vince Vaughn! AND one of my favourite characters from the franchise: Roland Tembo played by the late great Pete Postlethwaite!
>I think it's incredibly underrated!
Same, lot of great scenes
My favorite part is when the T Rex said Its Morbin Time.
Fun fact: I was once a nanny to a 2 1/2 year old. Her fave movies? The Sound of Music and Jurassic Park. TSoM fell a close second to the guy getting eaten on the toilet. This little girl absolutely loved that scene. She’d watch it for hours (if you let her), patiently rewinding the vhs to watch those few seconds on repeat.
I’m glad to hear that someone else also feels that Nedry isn’t a pure evil character. The book in particular has me thinking he was just a really poorly treated employee. They threaten him with blackmail and everything if he doesn’t complete the system or tries to quit it’s unbelievable.
Holy shit whoever edited this, you unlocked my memories of Power Ranger Dino Thunder.
My favorite fact about this film, and I am frankly shocked that it wasn't mentioned, is that it was produced under the code name Blue Harvest
That, and when Viggo Mortensen kicked the helmet he actually broke his toe so the scream is real.
@@hollandscottthomas That inspiring and I am embarrassed for not having mentioned it.
@@hollandscottthomas yeah that scream where he screamed “BLUE HARVEST”
Massive props to the editor (either Ben or Laurence) who sneaked in footage from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder! I was not expecting that. Respect.
30 years later that t-rex scene gets me every time. I watch this movie a couple times a year and still get chills.
Almost 29 times going backwards
Kids: That's not how dinosaurs looked! These are inaccurate!
John Hammond: Oh... okay *beats the dinosaurs to death with his cane. Points to the kid* You happy now?
Probably one of my most rewatched films
The Barbasol Can does reappear in the Jurassic Park Telltale Game (which has a man knife fight a raptor and is therefore more valid than anything in camp cretaceous), where the canon ending has it stepped on and destroyed by the T Rex.
Right as the movie was being released, they actually discovered a larger raptor species called the “Utah Raptor,” which were almost exactly like the Dinos in the movie.
Just have to say that the visualization of Jeff Goldblums speech pattern was perfect and made me scare my cat from laughter.
I love this movie. It is great. But I would LOVE to see a remake that is more closely in line with the book. The book is great. I think I've read it 4 or 5 times.
I kind of agree. One of the standout parts for me is when they manage to regain control of the park again, start sorting the escaped dinosaurs out, then it all goes to shit because of a system flaw. You almost get redemption before it's yanked away again.
I'm gonna be real: the Barbasol can in Jurassic Park may be the smartest product branding I've ever seen in a movie. They made their product an integral part of the movie and it never seemed forced. Like, I use Barbasol shaving cream as an adult because I saw that can in the movie as a kid, lol.
My favourite movie ever, finally on COG!!! Let's gooooo
“Life er, eh, um, finds a way” - Sir Ian Malcolm
“Hold on to your butts” - Samuel L Jackson’s character
“Please!?!?? I hate this jacket shit” - also Salmuel L Jackson’s character
The real crime here is that your names aren’t Jason and Mason
I still remember when I saw this in June 1993. First thought that came to mind was “If Disney world spiraled out of control” {had no idea universal would do a section of it in 1999 lol} but I was beyond fascinated with the visuals and music but also the raptor chase in the kitchen was creepy and alien 1979-esque tension. Good video, guys! Can’t wait for the lost world roast next week! 😁👍🏻🦖
I would have loved to see James Cameron's Aliens take on Jurassic Park
Xenomorph-dinosaurs say no more.
21:34 Nedry had that Joker energy
Nedry would've been in so much trouble if he got away with it. He totally implicates himself with his hacker stunt. In the book he actually planned to get the barbasol can to a freezer on the ship and then head back to his work station.
Maybe the pivot in the movie, and their comment on the fences not needing to be down, was Nedry trying to get everyone killed? I agree he's trying to sneak out and back in the book and that's why he rushes and crashes his vehicle...and then gets gruesomely killed.
I'm pretty sure that's his plan in the movie too, he only plans for the fences to be out for 18 minutes which implies that either he's coming back or that he's set it to come back on automatically so he can't be implicated. The only reason people notice start to notice the problem is that he didn't realize (or care) that the fences were on the same circuit as the rides everyone was riding in, which left Grant & everyone else stranded in front of the T-Rex at the exact wrong time. Also for some reason he tries to do this all in the middle of a freakin' tropical storm, leading him to get lost, crash, and die. Presumably if he'd planned this out a little better (and/or if the kids/Grant/Sattler/Malcolm weren't outside when the fences went down) he would've/could've gotten away clean and made it back with everyone none the wiser.
The only real question is if he's an idiot who didn't auto-time the fences to come back on after 18 minutes or if his little "secret word" bug messed up the fences further, which would make him an idiot _and_ an asshole.
@@TwoPairSA It's been too long since I have seen the movie OR read the book to be sure one way or the other. I have this feeling like at least in the book the tropical storm was something Nedry used intentionally to help cover his tracks. But I'd say we could safely give him idiot to things non-computer along with asshole.
Check out a YT channel called Legal Eagles. He does a review of all the laws broken in Jurassic Park
I grew up with the first movie in the early 90s. And to this day everytime I watch it. It feels like Steven got the formula right with Jurassic park. The cast, the shots of each scene, the animatronics perfectly blended with the CGI. All the way down to the acting. It was so believable. John, Arnold, Mr. Muldoon, Ellie, the kids. The staff running the park. I was totally convinced that they had ZERO clue of the catastrophic failures and terrors ahead of them during the film. The dark shading they used when the raptors bursted for the first time.the water tremoring right before The T rex rips through it's paddock and experiences the outside environment for its first time while the park guests tremble in fear of this Genetically modified BEAST lumbering around them. I still feel like it is the best Jurassic Park out of the whole series.
The Jurassic park telltale game would be real interesting for a caravan of garbage
There are very few TH-cam channels that can make me genuinely laugh out loud. So thank you Mr. SundayMovies.
The movie that inspired everyone to become a paleontologist until they realized the pay was terrible and you'd never be doing anything as cool as the movie portrayed
How many archaeologists were spawned from Raiders? How big is Spielberg's revenue stream from institutions of higher learning for pumping up enrollment in low paying esoteric fields of employment?
That was literally plot point in the movie, Alan and Ellie accepted to visit the park because they were promised money.
21:58 That's a spicy joke... I like it!
"WHY IS THERE 8 STAFF?"
Because all the dozens of other staff were non-essential, who were forced to evacuate to the mainland before that big storm took place. As explained in film.
as entertaining as these reviews are, sometimes it’s a bit irritating when they nitpick details that have canonical meaning.
10:02 Bravo editors for that Dino Thunder clip
Although I love this movie a lot, I still greatly prefer the darker nature of the book.
What are some of the darker points in the book?
@ManFlabs Well....um...they graphically describe the deaths in detail. I love dinosaurs and I love all the deaths in films but the book actually freaked me out horribly.

You totally missed the “Looney Tunes” sound effect when Nedry slips and falls. It’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen and heard.
The idea of Mason blinking for every second a dinosaur is on-screen is very appealing
Fun fact: the weird 3D boxes interface in the movie was a real Unix system. So it was not a vision of the future, it was the present.
That bit with the bolt cutters killed me
"Nobody cares about feathered dinosaurs!"
Feathered dinosaurs are the only reason people bought a subscription to Apple+

If anyone wants the full story wrt the "velociraptor"/"deinonychus" thing, as best I've been able to piece it together, here's what seems to have happened.
In 1988, renowned Paleoartist Gregory S. Paul released the incredibly popular book "Predatory Dinosaurs of the World". In this book, he lumped many separate dinosaur genera together, including classifying Deinonychus as a Velociraptor species. As far as I can find, no palaeontologist has ever argued in favour of this classification. However, the incredibly popular book put this mistake out into the public.
It is true that Michael Crichton once said in an interview that Deinonychus was classified as a Velociraptor at the time, and Velociraptor was the better sounding name, so he used that. However, he was mistaken in believing that classification was at all supported by science. Paul is seemingly the only person to have ever attempted to classify it as such, and frankly he should've known better. Crichton once cited Predatory Dinosaurs of the World as an inspiration for Jurassic Park, so I think we know where he picked up that particular misconception.
A few other tidbits: while the book raptors do seem to have been based on Deinonychus, or at least Crichton's poorly-researched idea of them, the movie versions are scaled up and monster-ified to a point that its even more ridiculous to call them Deinonychus. Finally, Dr Darren Naish has evidence that he protested the lack of feathers on the raptors at the movie's premiere, so like, even in 1993 it seems there was some evidence to support feathering them. Ultimately though, Jurassic Park (1993) did a lot to finally bring the ideas of the Dinosaur Renaissance into public awareness, but today, nearly 30 years later, it desperately needs something to take its place in that regard. Prehistoric Planet sure would've been good for that if it had a reasonable distribution instead of being a friggin apple tv exclusive, I mean who has ever even thought about apple tv for anything else?
And in general, whilst Crichton tries to add science-y stuff to his fiction, he still adds fiction to make the story work. Hence the T-Rex in the book threw the Jeep up into a tree. The scale/power was all wonky even for a big predator like that. But it was quite a compelling read. Spielberg clearly brought that down a bit and worked the Jeep-in-tree into the film in a more realistic manner.
@@oneopinion6806 Yeah, but unfortunately Speilberg completely completely ruins physical geography in the scene, because it's incredibly unclear where the cliff that the Trex pushes the car off comes from. All the cable are torn, so it seems like it's right where the Rex just came through the fence, but if that's the case how did it get up there if it's a 40ft drop? Even as a kid I found it super distracting.
I love the use of a Simu Liu Getty Image in the edit. Ben, was that you?
If you’re ever scared of asking that girl out, always remember that Mason publicly declared that the Jurassic World films were a turning point in the history of cinema.
*publicly declared to a channel with 1.3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
"Maybe Nedry could have gotten a different job, like at Microsoft??"
"Probably would have been less dinosaurs...
"Probably a similar number of trips to a mysterious island, though"
