The glass of water vibrating with the T-rex footsteps is so iconic. I still vividly remember the packed theater being dead silent during that part, all you heard was the rain and the booming footsteps. Then screaming when the goat leg lands on the window.
Omg I remember the goat leg scene like it was frickin' YESTERDAY. I was 12 years old when I watched this in theaters, and that scene was probably my first memory of a screaming jump-scare in a theater. My favorite of all time.
"Without John Williams, bikes don't really fly. Nor do brooms in Quidditch matches. Nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder. We do not weep. We do not believe." -Steven Spielberg I truly love the layers of this film. As a kid, it was a cool dinosaur movie. As a teen, it's a scary movie. As an adult, it's a frightening dissection of wealth, hubris and capitalism-first scientific exploration. There's a reason Dr. Oppenheimer has a photo cameo in this film. It's truly a timeless and essential movie.

Paleontologists believe T-Rex would've actually had incredible eyesight. Staying still wouldn't have saved you. Also, Ash missed the most 'film-student' piece of symbolism: In the helicopter ride, Dr. Grant finds he has two 'Female-type' belt buckles, but finds a way to make them work...
It had amazing depth perception and scientists have calculated it could see over 3 miles away. Stronger vision than hawks and eagles. My understanding is that it had the greatest vision of any animal to ever exist.
You are all wrong, the explenation is in the book, in the book it is explain their movement based eyesight was due to the Frog/other DNA that was combined with them, in the book they realise it based on the actions not as a Paleontologists "fact", I guess for the movie they didn't have time to explain this prior to the attack, so they did it this way
In the novel of the same name on which the movie is based, it was explained that because they used frog DNA to fill in the gaps, this was why the animal couldn't see anything that didn't move (as per some amphibians). They didn't take the time in the movie to explain that. And you are absolutely right. I grew up before the dinosaur renaissance (that started in the late '60's), back when dinos were considered dim-witted sluggish creatures. That brachiosaurs had to have lived in swamps for water to support the weight of their massive tails. There was a joke about the dino alarm clock. He would bite himself on his tail and catch a great deal of shut-eye before the nerve impulse reached his brains. (This false concept, at the time, helped explain the puzzle of why non-avian dinos went extinct, before we understood about the Chicxulub asteroid impact.) Dinos (including avian dinos, i.e., birds) have hollow bones. (Mammals have red blood cells that lack a nucleus and have to constantly be replenished by the marrow in our bones. Dinos had/have nucleated red blood cells.) Hollow bones means the animals can be a lot bigger for the same weight. Hollow bones are also part of a sort of uniflow breathing system, much more efficient than ours, making it possible for large birds and giant pterosaurs (closely related reptiles - which some grew to the size of a small plane) to achieve a big enough metabolism to fly, while mammals only get as big as bats. Birds (and apparently dinos in general) don't have only three color cones in their eyes to detect the primary colors (red, green, and blue) like humans do (and most mammals are color blind). Birds have FIVE color cones, so can see into the ultraviolet a bit and can see combinations of shades that we literally can't image. Some fossils being discovered recently are so well preserved, scientists can see under an electron microscope the structures that give colors to feathers, and so have figured out the actual colors of some - and some were brightly colored and patterned (again such as in birds). Some of the smartest animals are crows, ravens, and gray parrots, despite having the cranium size of literally a bird brain. But their brains are wired much more efficiently than mammal brains. Feathers are a better insulator than hair, which is why the best cold-weather jackets are stuffed with down, not fur.

This franchise holds a special place in my heart. John Williams score in this film can’t get praised enough. It’s wondrous, dreadful, chilling, majestic and beautiful all in one. Bless him for all the musical achievements he had done for us. Merry Christmas Ash & Hannah 🎄
I can’t even keep track of how many different themes composed by John Williams will randomly pop into my head in any given year. He certainly has been a ubiquitous part of my cinematic history, from very early childhood on up.
7:46 It wasn't a map, it was a leaf but she wasn't reading it. She is a paleobotonist meaning she studies plants from the Jurassic period ECT and so when she saw a plant from that time actually existing she was excited and was looking at it and studying it
Ash makes a valid point - the T-Rex isn't really 'attacking' in that first scene, she's just a curious creature exploring her surroundings. Unfortunately her size and instincts are naturally dangerous to humans. I once heard someone say that, if you're ever feeling sad and need cheering up, just imagine a T-Rex trying to make the bed 😂😂
As a paleoenthusiast and fan of the JP franchise, let me tell a cool sidefact about the raptors in the movie: The raptors are called Velociraptors in this movie, but they were actually based on another similar dinosaur: Deinonychus, another raptor dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period in parts of North America, for example, in Montana. Velociraptor, however, lived only in the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. That's also the reason why a raptor skeleton was found in Montana in the beginning of this movie. The author of the novel this movie was based on, Michael Criton, actually based these raptors on Deinonychus, but used the name Velociraptor on them, because the latter was more popular. Also, raptors like Velociraptor and Deinonychus actually hunting in packs. It's nowadays thought that they were more solitary hunters and even if multiple raptors attacked the same prey, it would have more likely been unorganised mobbing, not organized pack hunting. Also, a few years after this movie was released, it was found out that raptors like Deinonychus or Velociraptor were almost completely covered in feathers and even had wing feathers on their arms as well as a tail fan. And lastly, raptors couldn't slice through the flesh of their prey with their killing claws (talons) on their hindlimbs. They more likely used them to pin their prey down while eating it alive or to puncture major arteries or other important organs of their prey. Greetings from a german fan, keep up the great work Ash :)
Some added information: The film Raptors (not the novel) were more accurately the size of the Utahraptor. Utahraptor ostrommaysi was going to be called 'Utahraptor spielbergi' until Universal Studios started threatening to lawsuit any museums with the title 'Jurassic' in their name. To not create anymore tension to Universal Studios, therefore, they named it after John Ostrom, who discovered Deinonychus.
Same, in the years following the first movies, I remember going to the downtown library and discovered how many types of raptor dinosaurs there were. The Utahraptor is the biggest, almost Allosaurus sized
CPR isn’t just for drowning. It’s supposed to pump someone’s heart for them when it’s stopped working and to get it started again, the way 10,000 volts would stop a person’s heart from beating. Someone that has suffered a heart attack or stroke that stops their heart would need CPR to get their heart pumping again. Which is also why defibrillators exist, they do the same thing to jump start a person’s heart, but instead of CPR, which uses hand pumps, defibrillators use electricity to jump start it. Almost like using a car to jumpstart another car’s battery that’s died.
Not a medical professional at all but I have heard from those that are, a defibrillator doesn't jump start a stopped heart but corrects an irregular heartbeat.
@cocoidiea8643 Correct. Medical dramas lie. If your heart isn't beating, shocking it shouldn't do anything. But, it's not the worst hail Mary, miracles happen.
As I understand electricity (very little), Timmy would have been okay on the fence until he stepped down and touched the ground at the same time. Birds perch on high-voltage lines all the time with no harm.
Interesting fact: When Sir Richard Attenborough (John Hammond in this film) won the Best Director Oscar for GANDHI (1982), he beat Spielberg that year (who was nominated for E. T.). Attenborough accepted the role in part because he felt bad beating him that year.
In an incredibly sad coincidence, Spielberg is now officially the only Best Director nominee for the year 1982 who is still alive. All 4 of the other nominees (Richard Attenborough, Wolfgang Petersen, Sidney Lumet, and Sydney Pollack) have passed away.
Steven Spielberg handled post-production calls for JURASSIC PARK while filming SCHINDLER’S LIST at the same time (both released in the same year, and Spielberg won the Best Director Oscar for SCHINDLER’S LIST). Talk about bizarre tonal whiplash right there!
The mosquito thing was something that the author actually talked to a geneticist about. Essentially asked them, if we were able to recreate extinct animals, how would it even be remotely possible. Guy told him we would need 🧬 and a big jump in cloning capabilities, and Crichton ran with a persevered mosquito.
Every once in a while, a movie will come out that absolutely leapfrogs everything else in terms of spectacle and special effects. This is one of those movies. A few others that come to mind are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and Avatar. That opening scene with the dinosaurs in the meadow was like nothing that had ever been done before with CGI. Absolutely mind blowing and jaw dropping the first time you saw that in the theater.
@@Merecir I think the way the action was edited and the costume/set design was more impressive than the actual effects. 2001 looked just as realistic and was more pristinely filmed. Really, it was the sheer originality of the Star Wars world vision that made that movie great.
It actually took me until this year (I'm 33) to realize that the "leaf map" isn't a map shaped like a leaf, but an actual leaf, and she (as a paleobotanist), is inspecting it because she recognizes it doesn't belong in this day & age!
Lol I always noticed her ranting about the plant which is why grant had to turn her head. I always found it hilarious how geeked out she was over the leaf
It took me until hearing from others about the seatbelts in the helicopter on the first ride down. When Dr. Grant grabs the seat belts he grabs to Y ones and ends up tying them together showing what was going to be talked about when they said that all the dinosaurs were females.
Only thing that doesn't make sense about the scene is how did they bring a plant species back from extinction? The animals are brought back by mosquito ingested DNA but they don't explain in anyway how they got the DNA to engineer the extinct plant species.
The storm wasnt originally supposed to be in the movie but they filmed in hawaii and it was hit by a hurricane which destroyed some of the sets so they wrote it in. Steven Spielberg apparently stayed up all night playing games with the kids to keep their minds off the storm. The scene where the T-Rex pushes the plexiglass roof of the SUV down on the kids wasnt supposed to happen but it malfunctioned and pushed down too hard so that is the kids honest reaction. The T-Rexs roar was actually a baby elephant.
Imagine watching this in the cinema and 9 years old (yeah some bits scared me). Nothing like this had ever been done before and this film was HUGE! I love to see people experiencing it for the first time - so great it still holds up over 30 years later!
I saw this movie at the cinema in 1993 when I was 13. It blew my mind and is still my best movie going experience in my life. Some things you have to see when you are a kid.
Her accent is so cute and Ash makes me giggle how he says “yeah” after he makes a point 😂 “All the characters, yeah, are such good actors, yeah. Even now as an adult, yeah, you root for them, yeah”. Lmfaooooo 😂❤
*It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.* *Side notes:* *>The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects.* *>The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with koala, lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death).* *>The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds.* *>The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and male tortoise mating call mixed with a dolphin scream recorded with a hydrophone, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds.* *>The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). (There's an "s" in parentheses because depending on whether or not whales have teeth or baleen plates (think of them as biological water filters) in their mouths, whales have either one or two blowholes)* *>The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat, while their movements were inspired by those of ostriches.* *A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.* *>Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart."* *>Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.*
Hold onto your butts... Clever girl... Ah ah ah... You didn't say the magic word... Life... Uh uh uh... Finds a way... Must. Go. Faster. This movie is FULL of quotes haha... Gotta love it! Merry Christmas 🙏🏻🎄
I saw this movie in theaters in 1993! It was the first kinda scary movie I ever saw in theaters and I loved it! I was ten. I'm 42 now and I still love it! Love Jeff Goldblum!
Ash, you and/or Hannah might check out the novel that inspired this movie. I won’t say the movie’s really an adaptation as the characters and the plot are so vastly different that they’re really two separate stories. But since you love the film so much, you might enjoy reading the book/listening to the audiobook and being surprised by the darker tone and the differences in the characters. I need to reread it, myself, actually.
Don't mistake me i'm here for both of you but man Hannah s reaction never disapoint she is always so in it i love it. Must be really cool to have a person like her by yourside watching all the goodies you've seen over the years
Haha, I'm the other end of the spectrum, super happy to have an ocean and a screen to separate me from that because I could not handle being stuck in a room with either of them 😂.
This film changed everything. Watching it in the cinema was A M A Z I N G. It set the standards for special effects in cinema that wouldn't been seen until The Matrix. Absolutely magnificent. Greatvreaction guys and wishing you both a very Merry Christmas
I remember seeing this when I was 5 years old. I was amazed then and it still amazes me now. The first reveal shot of the brachiosaurus still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
The scare that the raptors gave young Eugene Sledge that day gave him a heart murmur that would stay with him until he joined the Marine Corps and became a mortarman😂
I remember going to see this movie in the theater when I was a kid. My whole family, including Aunts, Uncles, and cousins mobbed the theater twenty strong to see it on opening night. Merry Christmas to you two.
The year this movie was made Spielberg was working on both Schindlers list and Jurrasic Park. This is why he is a beast of a director two amazing movies same year, two different vibes and still came home with the gold.
This is the first movie I remember seeing in a huge theater, and it blew my mind. 100% right there with Ash geeking out over how great it is, and how well it holds up. The t-rex STILL looks amazing.
This movie revolutionized CGI and set the standing for years to come. (Some may think that’s a double edged sword) but there’s no denying the impact of it.
The T-Rex's roar in Jurassic Park was created by sound designer Gary Rydstrom using a combination of recordings from various animals: Baby elephant: The high-pitched scream of a baby elephant provided the key element of the T-Rex's roar Alligator: Low-frequency sounds from an alligator were used for the lower parts of the roar Lion: A lion's sound was used for the attack Whale blowhole: The blowhole of a whale was used for breathing sounds Redwood tree falling: The sound of redwood trees falling was used for the T-Rex's footsteps Jack Russell terrier: Rydstrom's pet Jack Russell terrier, named Buster, provided some of the sounds for the T-Rex's snarl Many of the sounds were played back at a much slower speed, such as the Jack Russell. The result was a snarl with a much lower pitch.
The greatest jumpscare in Jurassic Park for me will always be the bunker scene when they get the power back on, it felt very Dino Crisis to me. Especially in a dark room with loud speakers. 28:56 actually Ash, a T-rex isn't fast at all. An average human can outrun a T-rex. They go about the speed of a golf cart. Even at low speed.
merry xmas, babes! have a wonderful time with your loved ones! Thank you both so much for all the joy u bring into so many lives! LUV to you! best wishes from berlin! O.
Honestly love how Ash's boyish excitement comes through throughout the film and it really shows how much he adores this movie. This film series is so nostalgic for me, one of my family's faves for sure!
The guy who played Hammond, Richard Attenborough, was determined to make the movie Gandhi in 1982 in spite of every executive in the movie industry fighting against it. He had to direct and produce and raise the money himself. Ben Kingsley, who played Issac Stern in Schindler's List and Trevor in the MCU, played Gandhi. They won many Oscars for it.
One of the best visual effects is when Lex falls through the ceiling, because it's invisible. It was actually a stunt woman in that shot and they superimposed Lex' actress' face on top of her face. It's pretty easy to do now with a deepfake, but this was 1993.
He has foam BECAUSE he's clean shaven. He STAYS clean shaven by having foam with him to use to shave Also on the comments about the dinosaurs not being loyal to each other and eating each other, what do you think Dinosaurs ate? Fish eat fish, birds eat birds, same thing.
You gotta watch Jurassic World now, you HAVE to!!!!! Not to compare but its the same level if not better...hannah's jumpscare would be gold and ash's awe of it all would be amazing
Merry Christmas to my favourite channel on this platform. Haven’t missed a video and will continue to tune in in the new year. Best wishes to Ash and Hannah and their families and to the rest of the subscribers that tune in each video! 🎉 🎅🏼
The park owner and creator, John Hammond... played by SIR Richard Attenborough, acclaimed British director of Oscar winning Gandhi (1982). PLEASE play that one day on yer channel, good sir.
What's really great is there was only about 5 minutes of cgi, and the rest was all animatronics, the trex would switch on randomly and if she broke, someone would have to go inside the machine and fix it so there was always a chance to get splinched, the roof on that car was not supposed to fall and the trex stepping on the car actually almost killed the kids because she malfunctioned and they were getting squished, like ACTUALLY squished.
Nedry's death in the original book was waaay worse. The dino is the same, but 10 feet tall, and he slashed his guts open and then grabbed him by the head to finally kill him. But he did the same thing of spitting the acid at his face before ending him
Hey Ash. In the city where I live there is an SUV that is painted EXACTLY like one of the Jurassic Park SUVs. Even has the number five on it. The owner uses it for his Uber business. Wish I had a way to post a picture. You would love it! Merry Christmas to you and Hannah! 😁🎄☃️
Fun fact: the glass on top of the car wasn't supposed to collapse on the kids when the T Rex put its mouth against it, so the kids' screams at that moment were 100% genuine. (I know there will be people who say this isn't true, but to heck with them, that's just what I've always heard from pretty much everywhere I saw and heard) 💜
Not going to say I'm know for certain but I do remember hearing that the glass was supposed to come down but wasn't supposed to be struck quite as aggressively and the animatronic head broke part of the glass (plastic) roof on one end which they weren't expecting, and which made it more dangerous and added to the kids reaction. You can pretty much see it break at the right side in the take so that feels like it was probably a true thing.
@@dharma1666 to be honest the dinosaurs not looking accurate would be a good call because in the book Dr Wu and Hammond say that they where heavily modified to please the investors and they act more like monsters than the original animals.
The mosquito in the amber thing, to get dino-DNA was real and Michael Crichton wrote this book on it. They encountered the issue they describe in the movie, about the DNA sequence interrupted. In the movie, they fix it with frogs DNA to complete the code, which obviously doesn't work in real life.
I was 10 years old when I saw Jurassic Park in 1993 when it first came out. I went and saw it on a school field trip which our parents had to sign for since it was PG-13. It was the most magical movie ever at the time. You walked out of that movie just speechless. The CGI was unreal, and the score by John Williams just hit every mark for it being released at that time. It was so iconic it set the stage for other films.
This movie really changed CGI in Hollywood! The old guy in, The True Story, The Great Escape! And Jeff Goldblum....just been a great actor since the 70s, in Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, and the utterly grotesque, The Fly, and Silverado!
Merry Christmas you all! I'm sneaking peeks at this video while my family is occupied for a few minutes at a time, LOL. Just wanted to note: Ash is SO good at avoiding spoilers for Hannah... like when she's like "That's a spider" (in the amber). "Don't tell me the dinosaurs came from spiders" :P
I'm sure it's been mentioned in a ton of other comments, but: can't take these movies too seriously when it comes to paleo-accuracy (not even the new ones). T-rex was speculated to have some of the best eye sight of any dinosaur that ever existed. Its sense of smell was also extremely advanced, and with how insanely powerful its bite was, would've made that jeep look like it went through a car compactor (more-so than it already did). So in a more realistic scenario, the t-rex attack scene would've most likely ended with everyone dead lol.
I love y’all so much! This is the first Christmas without my dad and I’m sad buy watching you guys made me smile and laugh for a while. Have a blessed Christmas!
I absolutely LOVE watching your reaction videos!!! I’m in such a dark place right now but you guys bring me out into light every time! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!!
I remember my dad rented this movie at Blockbuster for Christmas when I was 6 and I was floored. 30 years later it's still as fresh in my mind as it was that day. All Hail Master Spielberg, along with the legendary music of John Williams. A work of art. I wish today's action cinema were at least 5 percent of what it was back then.
Dec.18th made 2 years that my husband passed..he had introduced me to your channel. It is true, cherish all the moments you both have together. Even the silly arguments. I wish you both a happy holiday and a long life together ❤️
Merry Christmas you ASHOLES!! Hope everyone has a BANGING TIME ❤️🎄🎄 love you all
Merry Christmas JUST TRUST ASH 💙🧡🖤
Merry Christmas Ash ❤️💚🎄
Merry christmas to you and your loved ones. 🙏
Pfff 💀🤣🤣 Merry Christmas to you too, ya filthy animal.
Merry Christmas to the both of you and yours as well ❤
The glass of water vibrating with the T-rex footsteps is so iconic. I still vividly remember the packed theater being dead silent during that part, all you heard was the rain and the booming footsteps. Then screaming when the goat leg lands on the window.
Of course, the only time the T-rex makes one slow step at a time is when she is off-camera.
The effect is created by plucking a guitar string placed under the dashboard.
Omg I remember the goat leg scene like it was frickin' YESTERDAY. I was 12 years old when I watched this in theaters, and that scene was probably my first memory of a screaming jump-scare in a theater. My favorite of all time.

Which is also why defibrillators exist, they do the same thing to jump start a person’s heart, but instead of CPR, which uses hand pumps, defibrillators use electricity to jump start it. Almost like using a car to jumpstart another car’s battery that’s died.
Not a medical professional at all but I have heard from those that are, a defibrillator doesn't jump start a stopped heart but corrects an irregular heartbeat.
@cocoidiea8643 Correct. Medical dramas lie. If your heart isn't beating, shocking it shouldn't do anything. But, it's not the worst hail Mary, miracles happen.
@@cocoidiea8643 @cocoidea8643 thank you both for clearing that up for me as well!
@@moonlitskylight5740 sorry, I meant to include you in my last reply, not sure what went wrong with the tagging!
As I understand electricity (very little), Timmy would have been okay on the fence until he stepped down and touched the ground at the same time. Birds perch on high-voltage lines all the time with no harm.
YES MATE! This is truly a gift Ash. My all time favorite movie, and I’ve been dying to see Hannah’s reaction to the raptor scene 😂
Interesting fact: When Sir Richard Attenborough (John Hammond in this film) won the Best Director Oscar for GANDHI (1982), he beat Spielberg that year (who was nominated for E. T.). Attenborough accepted the role in part because he felt bad beating him that year.
It's a shame afterwards no one cast Ben Kingsley properly sending an Oscar winning 'name' spiraling down through the depths of Hollywood hell.
I’d like this channel to react to Ghandi
@@terrylandess6072 True!
@@patinho5589 With all due respect, I'd like if you spell that correctly. It is Gandhi, not Ghandi.
In an incredibly sad coincidence, Spielberg is now officially the only Best Director nominee for the year 1982 who is still alive. All 4 of the other nominees (Richard Attenborough, Wolfgang Petersen, Sidney Lumet, and Sydney Pollack) have passed away.
I’m here for Jeff Goldblum’s iconic shirtless scene 😂😂
Meme uh… finds a way…
Jurassic Park will FOREVER be a gem! One of my favorite films since childhood!!
37:17 Ash's Arnold impression tho 🔥🤣
And Hannah's screams of fear will never not be funny 🤣
It was spot on😂
Cam annnn!!!
I’ve heard many an Ah-nold impression and Ash’s is defo on point
@@EchelonDnByew eediut! Put dat cookie dowyn! Dose ah may cookiesz!
Came here to comment the same: that Arnold reference caught me off guard and got a good laugh from me 😂
Steven Spielberg handled post-production calls for JURASSIC PARK while filming SCHINDLER’S LIST at the same time (both released in the same year, and Spielberg won the Best Director Oscar for SCHINDLER’S LIST). Talk about bizarre tonal whiplash right there!
He said if he could do it over again, he would have put Jurassic Park on hold
This movie is a masterpiece ! 🦖
The mosquito thing was something that the author actually talked to a geneticist about. Essentially asked them, if we were able to recreate extinct animals, how would it even be remotely possible. Guy told him we would need 🧬 and a big jump in cloning capabilities, and Crichton ran with a persevered mosquito.
That music gives me chills 30 yrs after first watching...
Did you see that? Down the throat, no gag reflex. These women have been deprived Ashcon! 😂😂😂
"Life uh uh uh finds a way" Lmaoo greatest line ever....
Every once in a while, a movie will come out that absolutely leapfrogs everything else in terms of spectacle and special effects. This is one of those movies. A few others that come to mind are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and Avatar. That opening scene with the dinosaurs in the meadow was like nothing that had ever been done before with CGI. Absolutely mind blowing and jaw dropping the first time you saw that in the theater.
Star Wars 1977 surely? The opening shot is arguably the most famous special effect in film history
@@AidanLonergan-bz1cp But Star Wars is not special just because of the special effects, it is the way it is shot and edited as well.
@@Merecir I think the way the action was edited and the costume/set design was more impressive than the actual effects. 2001 looked just as realistic and was more pristinely filmed. Really, it was the sheer originality of the Star Wars world vision that made that movie great.
Merry Christmas Ash and Hannah. Your reactions are the best gift anyone can ask for.
It actually took me until this year (I'm 33) to realize that the "leaf map" isn't a map shaped like a leaf, but an actual leaf, and she (as a paleobotanist), is inspecting it because she recognizes it doesn't belong in this day & age!
This is the first time I hear that people thought it was a map 😂
Lol I always noticed her ranting about the plant which is why grant had to turn her head. I always found it hilarious how geeked out she was over the leaf
It took me until hearing from others about the seatbelts in the helicopter on the first ride down. When Dr. Grant grabs the seat belts he grabs to Y ones and ends up tying them together showing what was going to be talked about when they said that all the dinosaurs were females.
Only thing that doesn't make sense about the scene is how did they bring a plant species back from extinction? The animals are brought back by mosquito ingested DNA but they don't explain in anyway how they got the DNA to engineer the extinct plant species.
@@dubiumguyVegan mosquitos
43:32 that banner is the most iconic moment for me right in the moment ❤🦖
Ash, “we don’t give a shit about that, go make dinosaurs”😂
The storm wasnt originally supposed to be in the movie but they filmed in hawaii and it was hit by a hurricane which destroyed some of the sets so they wrote it in. Steven Spielberg apparently stayed up all night playing games with the kids to keep their minds off the storm.
The scene where the T-Rex pushes the plexiglass roof of the SUV down on the kids wasnt supposed to happen but it malfunctioned and pushed down too hard so that is the kids honest reaction. The T-Rexs roar was actually a baby elephant.
Yeah....I bet he was "playing games" with the kids...
Rumor has it John Hammond spared no expense. 💜
An island with only female inhabitants - what could go wrong?
😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine watching this in the cinema and 9 years old (yeah some bits scared me). Nothing like this had ever been done before and this film was HUGE! I love to see people experiencing it for the first time - so great it still holds up over 30 years later!
I saw this movie at the cinema in 1993 when I was 13. It blew my mind and is still my best movie going experience in my life. Some things you have to see when you are a kid.
Unfortunately I had to settle for films like 2001, Planet of the Apes, etc.
I was 8 when I saw it at the cinema in 1993.
Changed the way I viewed movies.
Her accent is so cute and Ash makes me giggle how he says “yeah” after he makes a point 😂
“All the characters, yeah, are such good actors, yeah. Even now as an adult, yeah, you root for them, yeah”. Lmfaooooo 😂❤
Looool. Innit!
It's a shame Hannah faced and talked to Ash so many times 😜 she missed a lot of amazing small details that just makes this movie a 12 out of 10.
*It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.*
*Side notes:*
*>The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects.*
*>The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with koala, lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death).*
*>The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds.*
*>The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and male tortoise mating call mixed with a dolphin scream recorded with a hydrophone, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds.*
*>The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). (There's an "s" in parentheses because depending on whether or not whales have teeth or baleen plates (think of them as biological water filters) in their mouths, whales have either one or two blowholes)*
*>The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat, while their movements were inspired by those of ostriches.*
*A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.*
*>Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart."*
*>Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.*
Hold onto your butts...
Clever girl...
Ah ah ah... You didn't say the magic word...
Life... Uh uh uh... Finds a way...
Must. Go. Faster.
This movie is FULL of quotes haha... Gotta love it!
Merry Christmas 🙏🏻🎄
Mine is "hold onto your butts."
A UNIX system, I know this!
Don't forget "spared no expense"
"Must. Go. Faster." ... like what he said to Will Smith in Independence Day?
34:08 Ash's Arnold impression always gets me. 😂😂😂
"no gag reflex" "these women have been deprived", Hannah absolutely making my day as usual x Merry Xmas you guys! Thanks for all the amazing content
I saw this movie in theaters in 1993! It was the first kinda scary movie I ever saw in theaters and I loved it! I was ten.
I'm 42 now and I still love it! Love Jeff Goldblum!
Ash, you and/or Hannah might check out the novel that inspired this movie. I won’t say the movie’s really an adaptation as the characters and the plot are so vastly different that they’re really two separate stories. But since you love the film so much, you might enjoy reading the book/listening to the audiobook and being surprised by the darker tone and the differences in the characters. I need to reread it, myself, actually.
"Oh, the goat's gone!"
"The goat is back, baby."
"No, the goat's gone, Ashkan."
"Yeah, yeah, but the real GOAT is back." 😁
Twas GENIOUS!
and the TONE!
@@jefffreybishop8306 👍
The goat did come back just…
…only a piece of it
Don't mistake me i'm here for both of you but man Hannah s reaction never disapoint she is always so in it i love it. Must be really cool to have a person like her by yourside watching all the goodies you've seen over the years
If I were Ash I'd watch people like you. :D Merry Xmas.
Haha, I'm the other end of the spectrum, super happy to have an ocean and a screen to separate me from that because I could not handle being stuck in a room with either of them 😂.
I love your hair this reaction Hannah!!! It looks very 80’s and cool on you also ash!! Handsome as always dear sir!
Its like ninja warrior for him going up that hill😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hannah is giving April O’Niel vibes, you guys should watch original ninja turtles movies
_Okay, thanks for chiming in, mate._
Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family Ash! You two rule!
This film changed everything. Watching it in the cinema was A M A Z I N G. It set the standards for special effects in cinema that wouldn't been seen until The Matrix. Absolutely magnificent. Greatvreaction guys and wishing you both a very Merry Christmas
You two are an absolute joy. Happy Christmas. Thank you both. MJ & Spidey Ash.
Just for people that don't realize and who will skip the intro: Ash has seen this movie. Hannah hasn't. 💜
And for others: Jane wasn't impressed with Sea Bass in THOR either.
I think everyone can figure that out by the title lol
@Emilia_wallin Idk, some people aren't that smart lol. Either that or they simply don't pay attention.
I remember seeing this when I was 5 years old. I was amazed then and it still amazes me now. The first reveal shot of the brachiosaurus still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
By now I thought y'all were married 😂
The scare that the raptors gave young Eugene Sledge that day gave him a heart murmur that would stay with him until he joined the Marine Corps and became a mortarman😂
This movie is a great example of why practical effects will always be better than CGI.
That intro reel of all your crazy get-ups was amazing. Thanks for the laughs. Glad I remember most of them, too xD
I remember going to see this movie in the theater when I was a kid. My whole family, including Aunts, Uncles, and cousins mobbed the theater twenty strong to see it on opening night.
Merry Christmas to you two.
The year this movie was made Spielberg was working on both Schindlers list and Jurrasic Park. This is why he is a beast of a director two amazing movies same year, two different vibes and still came home with the gold.
This is the first movie I remember seeing in a huge theater, and it blew my mind. 100% right there with Ash geeking out over how great it is, and how well it holds up. The t-rex STILL looks amazing.
This movie revolutionized CGI and set the standing for years to come. (Some may think that’s a double edged sword) but there’s no denying the impact of it.
The T-Rex's roar in Jurassic Park was created by sound designer Gary Rydstrom using a combination of recordings from various animals:
Baby elephant: The high-pitched scream of a baby elephant provided the key element of the T-Rex's roar
Alligator: Low-frequency sounds from an alligator were used for the lower parts of the roar
Lion: A lion's sound was used for the attack
Whale blowhole: The blowhole of a whale was used for breathing sounds
Redwood tree falling: The sound of redwood trees falling was used for the T-Rex's footsteps
Jack Russell terrier: Rydstrom's pet Jack Russell terrier, named Buster, provided some of the sounds for the T-Rex's snarl
Many of the sounds were played back at a much slower speed, such as the Jack Russell. The result was a snarl with a much lower pitch.
“What are we gonna do turn it into a theme park for kids?? That isn’t going to go well.”
…Hannah just basically summed up this whole franchise 😂
Saw this in theaters when I was in middle school 3 times 😁
Great movie!
The greatest jumpscare in Jurassic Park for me will always be the bunker scene when they get the power back on, it felt very Dino Crisis to me. Especially in a dark room with loud speakers.
28:56 actually Ash, a T-rex isn't fast at all. An average human can outrun a T-rex. They go about the speed of a golf cart. Even at low speed.
merry xmas, babes! have a wonderful time with your loved ones! Thank you both so much for all the joy u bring into so many lives! LUV to you! best wishes from berlin! O.
Still so funny that in the book, the bald lawyer was like a rambo badass.
Honestly love how Ash's boyish excitement comes through throughout the film and it really shows how much he adores this movie.
This film series is so nostalgic for me, one of my family's faves for sure!
The guy who played Hammond, Richard Attenborough, was determined to make the movie Gandhi in 1982 in spite of every executive in the movie industry fighting against it. He had to direct and produce and raise the money himself. Ben Kingsley, who played Issac Stern in Schindler's List and Trevor in the MCU, played Gandhi. They won many Oscars for it.
One of the best visual effects is when Lex falls through the ceiling, because it's invisible. It was actually a stunt woman in that shot and they superimposed Lex' actress' face on top of her face.
It's pretty easy to do now with a deepfake, but this was 1993.
He has foam BECAUSE he's clean shaven. He STAYS clean shaven by having foam with him to use to shave
Also on the comments about the dinosaurs not being loyal to each other and eating each other, what do you think Dinosaurs ate? Fish eat fish, birds eat birds, same thing.
ya like how do you think the ocean sealife fare? LOL
You gotta watch Jurassic World now, you HAVE to!!!!! Not to compare but its the same level if not better...hannah's jumpscare would be gold and ash's awe of it all would be amazing
The baby dinosaur first words was “Not the mama”.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Merry Christmas to my favourite channel on this platform. Haven’t missed a video and will continue to tune in in the new year. Best wishes to Ash and Hannah and their families and to the rest of the subscribers that tune in each video! 🎉 🎅🏼
The park owner and creator, John Hammond... played by SIR Richard Attenborough, acclaimed British director of Oscar winning Gandhi (1982). PLEASE play that one day on yer channel, good sir.
And also "Chaplin" starring RDJ!
Amazing Arnold impression…
There was for a time an inflatable of Jeff Goldbloom in London several years ago. 🤘😎
I love this movie so much man watched this and walking with dinosaurs as a kid
42:58-43:24
I believe that is what you'd refer to as a Deus _Rex_ Machina. 🦖
What's really great is there was only about 5 minutes of cgi, and the rest was all animatronics, the trex would switch on randomly and if she broke, someone would have to go inside the machine and fix it so there was always a chance to get splinched, the roof on that car was not supposed to fall and the trex stepping on the car actually almost killed the kids because she malfunctioned and they were getting squished, like ACTUALLY squished.
Nedry's death in the original book was waaay worse. The dino is the same, but 10 feet tall, and he slashed his guts open and then grabbed him by the head to finally kill him. But he did the same thing of spitting the acid at his face before ending him
Hey Ash. In the city where I live there is an SUV that is painted EXACTLY like one of the Jurassic Park SUVs. Even has the number five on it. The owner uses it for his Uber business. Wish I had a way to post a picture. You would love it!
Merry Christmas to you and Hannah! 😁🎄☃️
"He's given Santa Claus vibes"
Who's gonna tell her?
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for around 165 million years. Humans not even 50.000 years yet, we are so insignificant.
The Fly (1986) is starred by Jeff Goldblum, would be a great reaction.
Hannah doing a little bunny paws pose to indicate a T-Rex 😂😂😂 I am ded
Life Find's a way been looking forward to this🎆🎄🤘
Soo right! That T-Rex is so believably there it’s wild. Perfect blend of all the different types of special/practical/visual effects.
Fun fact: the glass on top of the car wasn't supposed to collapse on the kids when the T Rex put its mouth against it, so the kids' screams at that moment were 100% genuine. (I know there will be people who say this isn't true, but to heck with them, that's just what I've always heard from pretty much everywhere I saw and heard) 💜
Not going to say I'm know for certain but I do remember hearing that the glass was supposed to come down but wasn't supposed to be struck quite as aggressively and the animatronic head broke part of the glass (plastic) roof on one end which they weren't expecting, and which made it more dangerous and added to the kids reaction. You can pretty much see it break at the right side in the take so that feels like it was probably a true thing.
19:24 The joy on Ash's face..."Did you hear that?" "Yeaah" He was as giddy as school boy for Hannah to see this iconic scene.
This movie is awesome, but I hope one day we get a remake that follows the book more closely.
same and perhaps portrays the dinosaurs more accurately
@@dharma1666 to be honest the dinosaurs not looking accurate would be a good call because in the book Dr Wu and Hammond say that they where heavily modified to please the investors and they act more like monsters than the original animals.
The mosquito in the amber thing, to get dino-DNA was real and Michael Crichton wrote this book on it. They encountered the issue they describe in the movie, about the DNA sequence interrupted. In the movie, they fix it with frogs DNA to complete the code, which obviously doesn't work in real life.
Starts 4:47
Cheers, mate.
TH-cam revanced doesn't need it,it will automatically skip that part
I was 10 years old when I saw Jurassic Park in 1993 when it first came out. I went and saw it on a school field trip which our parents had to sign for since it was PG-13. It was the most magical movie ever at the time. You walked out of that movie just speechless. The CGI was unreal, and the score by John Williams just hit every mark for it being released at that time. It was so iconic it set the stage for other films.
Watching Jurassic park for the first time? What planet you been living on 😂
This movie really changed CGI in Hollywood! The old guy in, The True Story, The Great Escape! And Jeff Goldblum....just been a great actor since the 70s, in Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, and the utterly grotesque, The Fly, and Silverado!
Seeing this movie in the theater as a kid was amazing. One of my most memorable movie going experiences.
Alone this Christmas. So I want to say thank you that we can share a movie with our TH-cam family Ash and Hannah this Christmas eve. Love you guys.
Merry Christmas you all! I'm sneaking peeks at this video while my family is occupied for a few minutes at a time, LOL.
Just wanted to note: Ash is SO good at avoiding spoilers for Hannah... like when she's like "That's a spider" (in the amber). "Don't tell me the dinosaurs came from spiders" :P
I'm sure it's been mentioned in a ton of other comments, but: can't take these movies too seriously when it comes to paleo-accuracy (not even the new ones). T-rex was speculated to have some of the best eye sight of any dinosaur that ever existed. Its sense of smell was also extremely advanced, and with how insanely powerful its bite was, would've made that jeep look like it went through a car compactor (more-so than it already did).
So in a more realistic scenario, the t-rex attack scene would've most likely ended with everyone dead lol.
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was a kid. A true classic.
I love y’all so much! This is the first Christmas without my dad and I’m sad buy watching you guys made me smile and laugh for a while. Have a blessed Christmas!
I absolutely LOVE watching your reaction videos!!! I’m in such a dark place right now but you guys bring me out into light every time! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!!!
I remember my dad rented this movie at Blockbuster for Christmas when I was 6 and I was floored. 30 years later it's still as fresh in my mind as it was that day. All Hail Master Spielberg, along with the legendary music of John Williams. A work of art. I wish today's action cinema were at least 5 percent of what it was back then.
Dec.18th made 2 years that my husband passed..he had introduced me to your channel. It is true, cherish all the moments you both have together. Even the silly arguments. I wish you both a happy holiday and a long life together ❤️
