“That - that is a BABY!” is exACTly what you say when a friend proudly shows you their ugly baby. 😂
Or “Look at you; just look at you, looking!”😂
"I don't know if holding on to your butts enough" Made me lol
"Ya'll didn't have to bring back everybody." 😂 that belongs on a T-shirt!
"I wouldn't be able to eat after that! ☹️"
Few seconds later
"Oh but that does look good tho 😮"
Honestly same.
This was originally a book written by Michael Crichton. A major theme throughout many of his stories is the arrogance of humans in light of scientific creation, and the fact that we not only can't foresee all the ramifications of what we make, but we often don't even care to look because we are too consumed with making a profit. He was an excellent writer, among the many things he did, and any of his stories are worth a read.
The film is great, the book is far superior than the movie. Way more character development, science and business ethics.
The book version of Hammond is a huge ass only cares about making a profit
John Hammond, sparred no expense.... Except Dennis Nedry's pay
and emergency backup generators. Something even hospitals, army bases and data centers have. You'd think somebody building a park full of giant dangerous animals inclined to eat people if the fences fail would think of that
They made it clear in the film that it was a bid... his pay is his own damn fault, he lowballed his price to get the gig. Hammond's error is that you never ever take the lowest bid. Every good businessman knows this, except him, apparently.
It wouldn’t matter how much InGen paid Dennis Nedry. Biosyn would still have made Nedry an offer and Nedry would accept that offer.
@@bluecollartradesman715 Good point.
I heard the book goes into more detail on this.
The moment the brachiosaurus is revealed and the music swells is just cinematic magic. One of my all time favorite movies. Another great reaction! 🙌🏼
30 years later and its still just as awesome.
@@tankjr84Dead right, saw it in theaters at 13 years old. It's is just as magical to me today.
I was just graduating high school when I saw this in the theater, but that scene turned me 10 years even younger with amazement.
Fun fact
Wayne knight (nedry the programmer) is cosplaying as the characters from The Goonies.
At the cafe, he's dressed like chunk, on the island, he's dressed like mouth and when he's driving across the island, he's dressed like Mikey.
Wow... Movie is 30 years old, and this is the first time I hear this particular piece of trivia. Cool stuff! :)
@@lennyvalentin6485I first heard this about a month or so ago and granted I was never a fan of The Goonies I didn't see it tell just like a year or so ago and I'm 43 I actually saw the side by side images on Facebook very recently😮
he also had issues with the venom make up applied to his skin in his death scene. His skin was stained purple and he feared he'd be fired from Seinfeld if it couldn't be fixed in time for his filming of an episode shortly later. Obviously they were fine with it.
It seems the cast of Seinfeld was always firing people over some bs @@scottb3034
Remember what he said about the container it can only keep the embryos at the right temperature for a limited time. Those particular samples don't factor into any of the other movies. You should definitely watch the rest of these and the Jurassic World movies. As long as you know going in nothing really tops this original movie. There are pretty cool parts in every movie at least.
The man who plays Hammond is Richard Attenborough. The brother of our dear David.
Jeff Goldblum is the perfect Malcolm. His delivery has always been one of my favorite styles and the lines given to his character in this movie are tight! 😎
"You _are_ the food." I love it when a reactor makes that comment. Not many do. 😂
Kahla, I just discovered your channel and I love this reaction. As a long time dinosaur and Spielberg fan, I was thrilled when I learned he was making a movie of this book. I saw it at least a dozen times in the theaters, and I don't know how many times since then.
In real life, velociraptors were only about the size of wild turkeys. The ones in this movie more closely resemble Deinonychus but, I guess, Spielberg decided Raptor sounded cooler.
There is no evidence to the theory that T-rex can't see you if you don't move so, if you ever come across one, run!
Dinosaurs would have a hard time in today's world. The air during the Cretaceous period contained about 50% more oxygen that in does now, and it would have been much warmer. That T-rex chasing the Jeep would have had to stop every few steps to catch her breath. Maybe that's why she eventually gave up and stopped chasing it.
The second JP movie is good too, the third one, not so much, but it does complete the original trilogy.
And if you've ever wondered what Jurassic Park would look like with cats instead of dinosaurs, here:
th-cam.com/video/W85oD8FEF78/w-d-xo.html
Nice trivia! And personally, I actually dig the second movie more than the first. The original has all the pomp and circumstance of course, but the second has a better plot, and feels more fleshed-out overall. The second act also doesn't slump, tempo-wise, as it does in the original film.
The movie score isn't half-bad either. It is overall darker, and more brooding than in the first film I feel. Third movie is completely forgettable though, in my opinion. It got completely stuck in the "must make everything more, biggerer" rut that marred all of the modern JPs, and I only ever watched it once, at a movie theater when it was still fresh. Now, if I were to try again, I suspect it would feel just as much as the decomposed corpse I thought it was when I first watched it, if not more so. ;)
It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.
Side notes:
The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects.
The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death).
The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds.
The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds.
The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of a fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s).
The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a female horse in heat.
A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart."
Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.
Tbh, a 6 foot turkey sounds pretty terrifying. 😅
I’ve always thought that too. A wild six-foot turkey with proportional-sized beak and talons would be scary, especially if it felt threatened. It would tear you a new one for sure.
@@williambryan3346 yikes! No thanks!!
True!
I'm sure Australia & Africa had big birds too, but look into the New Zealand MOA 😳 One variation was 12ft tall & 500lbs 🤯
At one of the parks they had a life sized model...terrifying lol!
@@miyoko_17 HELL NO!!
Girl Did you notice the Miss America moment with the T rex at the end? To me after T Rex killed those two mean dinosaurs and she was in the moment with her victory roar and the jurasic park banner falls down. it's almost like it stated. " here she is, the queen of Jurasic park, miss Dino American T rex. She just needed her tiara and roses
Rexy for prom queen!
When that happened at the theater, everyone erupted!😂
You're so lucky! I wish I could watch Jurassic Park again for the first time! So good and it holds up so well!
I see the video I click the video i'm a simple man.
Even though the film portrays the herbivore dinosaurs as non-threatening, like the brachiosaurus. That's far from the reality of nature. There's a good reason why people don't approach elephants, rhinos, and hippos in the wild. Many people have lost there lives or have been seriously injured from being trampled or attacked by large herbivores. Some can be extremely aggressive.
Yep there’s a reason you’re warned to stay clear of the bison in national parks. And they’re just the size of large cows.
My brother and I were talking about this the other day. These creatures are huge. There’s no way they wouldn’t be dangerous.
Elephants are essentially trucks with bad attitudes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This needs to said again and again. The hippo is considered the most dangerous animal in Africa, despite its lions, etc., because it is so territorial. Cows are very peaceful yet a bull is so dangerous, they can make a sport out of fighting it.
That's why the original King Kong 1933 has a Stegosaurus charging the men like a rhino and the brontosaurus attacking them on the raft like a hippo.
I read the book when it first came out back in the early 90's while on an archeological dig, camping and sleeping in tents. Perfect, LOL! The book got passed around the whole camp, everybody loved it. 🤓 When the movie came out, it was SO good! Great job, Kahla! This was a fun one to rewatch with you.
My favourite movie! Great reaction, I think my biggest laugh was 37:47 "I'm sure this computer is going at its top speed but this is a life or death situation."😂
The 3D representation for the filing system shown in the movie was actually a real thing, being part of the Irix operating system for Silicon Graphics workstations, but was actually more of a tech demonstration than a real interface intended to be used in day-to-day operations. As seen in the movie, it was pretty slow and clunky, but I guess Spielberg/gang thought it looked rad/high-tech in a general sort of way, and thus deserved to be featured in the movie...
Once again, you crushed it! Thoroughly entertaining! I cracked up when your hair became your moustache😂😂😂 I love watching movies with you. Can't wait for the next one!
Definitely one of my all time favorites. Saw in the theater four times when it first came out. The reason Nedry did what he did was in the novel. Basically, Hammond screwed him over. After Nedry finished his contract, Hammond forced him to do more without paying him for it. The novel makes it clear that everything is Hammond's fault. He's the straight up villain. It's hard to blame the dinosaurs too much. They were just animals. I mean, the T-Rex behavior was territorial, not so much aggression.
From what I've heard people re-tell the novel (I haven't read it myself), Hammond seems to be considerably more villainous overall there than he is in the movie, where he's portrayed more as a "kind grandfather with some delusions of grandeur" type character.
Read the novel some time! Author Michael Crichton, who died 2000s, was a very interesting and amazingly accomplished guy. He started as an ER Physician from Harvard Med School, then wrote books in his spare time like The Andromeda Strain. That got him involved in Hollywood, and he wrote and directed the original Westworld, the first movie to use CGI (at least he claimed). Then directed about 7 more movies while pumping out bestselling novels into the 2000s - lots of them made into movies. Also wrote books on art and computers. If not obvious, he was known in his time for being incredibly intelligent. All that while being 6-foot-9 (just a curious fact 🤣).
I just reviewed the book a few days ago. I definitely prefer it to the film.
Also refused the notion of climate change...
@@xplicitification because it's silly.
@@tmckain5532 No, but you do you i guess
@@xplicitificationit is stupid. Nobody can produce real evidence and all them people who care and protesting are nutjobs 🤡🤦🏽♂️
"Doesnt look scary. Like a 6-foot-turkey." I had run-ins with swans. Birds are SCARY. Even -- especially -- if they are WAY smaller than 6 feet. At 6 feet they are absolutely TERRIFYING. (That's a running theme in the novel and the movie that modern city dwellers are losing their knowledge about nature and animals. Like the way how Nedry treats the Dilophosauri as if they were trained dogs.)
My favorite quote from this movie: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." It's the modern version of Rabelais' quote: "Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul."
Also when I was in 1st year of biology in college, we have an assignment that was to analyze all scientific errors or impossibilities in Jurassic Park and explain why (or how to correct them if possible). There were a lot of mistakes. But it didn't alter my love for this movie at all.
"I wasn't expecting the T.Rex!" Neither were the filmmakers. A lot of the dinos were still animatronics -- that was the original plan to show them, the CGI was a bit of a spontaneous late addition -- and the T.Rex animatronic would not fit into the lobby set. So they originally wrote the end without it, much to Spielberg's chagrin. When they introduced the CGI, they had no restrictions and could show the T.Rex there, the way Spielberg wanted it to be from the beginning.
Right up until they added CGI the plan was actually to do the parts that ended up being CGI with go-motion puppets.
ILM was only going to do digital compositing (still extremely rare at that time) and paint fixes... literally Photoshopping stuff that wasn't totally convincing frame by frame. They still ended up doing that last part with the CGI. There would be, say, holes in the CGI dinos and they'd just paint them out instead of doing the CGI over again.
I love your reaction so much! The visuals of the dinosaurs and the CGI looks incredible and it still holds up to this day❤ what a timeless classic, I forgot how terrifying this movie was🦖🦕 I would’ve loved to see this in theaters!
'i dunno if i'll be able to eat after that' (3 seconds later) 'oh but that does look good tho' hahahaah so funny XD
just noticed someone made hte same comment LOL. still, so funny.
I can't remember the old man's character's name who created this idea of bringing back dinosaurs, in a way he wanted to be a type of Walt Disney but with dinosaurs Things seem to be perfectly secure and would remain that way ( IF )Greed and Assholism didn't ruin it. And Nerdly paid the price for it by becoming lunch for the spitting peacock version of a dinosaur. Both sides don't take the risks seriously and in the end they both screw the other over. the possitive in not noticing the warninging signs and the greedy side not being smart like the others in knowing what a risk they're taking.
Excellent reaction; it's always fun and interesting to go back to a movie as an adult and catch things that might have slipped by when you were younger.
I always forget that they mention the Lysine Contingency in the movie. It's a good idea, a genetic shock fence for potentially lethal animals, but the opening chapters of the novel prove that it DOES NOT WORK, which makes the situation even more unsettling.
That is unsettling! So basically there was no turning back.
I wouldn't be able to eat after that! "oh! that does look good though." Literal LOL. Thank you.
Was 1993 and it blew me away, when he turned her head to see the Brachiosaurus I was hooked. I wanted to be a palentoligist as a kid, funny enough I work in Film and TV, was fortunate to work on JP:WORLD.
Jurassic Park one of the reasons why i love dinosaurs!!
I love Jurassic Park and i love this video!!!
12:35 "Y'all didn't have to bring back EVERYBODY" LMAOOOOOO tru😩😂
Always annoyed me to this day but I know that boy could have crawled through the opening in that fence instead of climbing over it.. lol. great reaction..thanks
I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was brand new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples...now that's chaos. One of the greatest cinematic experiences ever!
See here's another example. Here I am by myself, replying to myself. That's chaos theory
That’s basically me every time I film a reaction. 😂
@@kahlareacts Truth be told, 1st time I wanted 0 likes, just to prove my point. I would have been laughing myself silly if that happened
Side note: I'll post regular replies and get lots of likes, I'm like wow. Other times I'm like oh I have a great reply...and I get 2 likes. What?!!!
@@adampare8088 That is another example, of chaos theory
The moral of the story is, don't hire Newman.
Don't underpay your staff.
The premier was such a great time.
This was the elder millenials' equivalent to what Star Wars was for our parents.
I always thought that if John Hammond and Dr. Henry Wu had put their egos in check and only re-created the herbivores, then there wouldn’t have been any concern about the carnivores having to be controlled.
In nature herbivores are many times more dangerous than the predators.
Jurassic Park! Would wake up early before school to watch these movies. God I was such a Dino kid 😂 Really excited for this one!!
Jurassic Park is my absolute favorite of the entire saga! I still have memories when I went a local movie theater, and it had famous scenes from movies framed on the wall. They had a framed shot of the scene of the T-Rex roaring as the Jurassic Park banner falls. 🦖🖤💛❤️
Loved your reaction\ commentary. I appreciate your humor and talking to the characters. 😃
They took Jeff Goldblum onboard, and basically just tell him to be himself. This is the Goldblumest role Jeff has ever done!
Wow loved your reaction first time seeing you. I subscribed please keep up the good reactions. You are a natural ❤️. Great series of movies also.
Saw this in the theater when I was a kid. The long neck brought tears to my eyes 🥲
Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond, has acted in movies since 1942 & been directing since 1969 ... ; )
This is a great and classic movie! I was a little kid who was OBSESSED with dinosaurs, and I saw this movie in the theaters like 10 times, even though it scared the shit out of me!! 🤣
I was trying to think of what was particularly traumatizing with Nedry, and then I remembered. It still horrifies me when he puts that shaving cream on the pie, and I’m thankful you did not include it in this edit. 😉
Where else can we get reactions like these? Few reactors (and their editors) highlighted the ethics scene (Goldblum) as much as you did, you get to the heart of the matter. Brava!!
And then you switch to humor : "I wouldn't be able to eat after that!"
"Oh, but it does look good though..." " She looked at it like it wasn't appetizing, but it looked appetizing to me. Maybe because I'm doing this reaction while I'm hungry..."
" That food couldn't have been that good, 'cause nobody touched their food!! Nobody" You're unique.
In the next movie, they mentioned that three people died during this incident, but it was actually four. They didn't count Dennis Nedry because apparently his remains were never found, so nobody knows what happened to him.
Definitely one of my favorite movies. Excellent author, excellent director, excellent screenplay, excellent composer, excellent effects.
oh man, this is one of my all time favorite movies! your reaction was so fun to watch, I loved your comments! If you enjoyed this I highly recommend watching the sequels; The Lost World, Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic World etc. And if you enjoy those, I'd love it if you watched the Camp Cretaceous series. Yes, its technically aimed at a younger audience, but honestly it gets pretty bold with the dark themes. It's genuinely an enjoyable watch, and I'd love to see you react to it (no pressure though!) Anyways, have a lovely day, you earned a new sub!
I know so well about dinosaurs. For example, Dilophosaurus in real life wasn't poisonous but was carnivorous and dangerous none the less.
The iconic T-Rex scene, the T-Rex comes through the fence but later we see on the other side is a 50 ft cliff, making this an impossibly for it to come through at that location.
Excellent reaction. You are super entertaining!
Such a great action film. Jeff Goldblum is pure gold😂
Haha loved your reaction. Grew up with this movie as a 90's kid...you a cutie too 💯 subscribed!
I saw this in theaters while on vacation with my dad when I was 9!!!
I totally loved your Jurassic Park Reaction Video! You should next do a Reaction Video to “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” and I totally agree with you on how it would probably not be such a great idea to actually have a Theme Park with Genetically Engineered Dinosaurs.
I remember the trip to Kenya I made with my mother when I was 5 yo. During the Safari, I saw next to no animals except a couple of Giraffes and an elephant from afar.
Had I've been proposed to return there now, i'd say 'no thanks, it's a tourist trap and nothing else, I see the beasts much better in an animal documentary'
Why did they bring them [that species] back? They had no control over what species they bring back. They just found some DNA, they could figure out what fragments belong together, but they didn't know what species the full DNA would make.
One of my favorite movies of all time! Or Lord of the rings…love the merchandise and the soundtrack.😍
@1:05 Kahla is so excited. I wonder if she just can’t hide it. The Pointer Sisters 😁
Jurassic Park is peak 90s cinema 😊
Kahla: Yall trusted him when he said he was going to a vending machine.
Me: **looks Nedry up and down** At the time it seemed believable...
9:58 scenes like this, the seriousness is what was sorely lacking in JW. JW treated this new generation of movie goers like they were stupid and only wanted to see dino go boom.
When she said that "They didn't need to bring back everyone", it is better explained in the novel but: It's not like DNA comes with a nametag. They spent millions on getting their hands on the DNA, on the computers that sequence it, and on the ostrich eggs. Every embryo that survived had to be raised to maturity for them to know just what the hell they'd brought back.
And, on the Dylophosaurus account, it was literally impossible to know they were venomous, since any organ that might've produced that venom wouldn't have fossilized with the bones. I don't remember if in the book it was mentioned that it was because of the DNA splicing that made them venomous, but it is now part of the cultural zeitgeist.
Another great reaction! Thanx Kahla! 😀👍
Thank you!
Know something? Raptors may be able to open doors with handles. But can they open door with knobs? Especially the ones that have buttons on them?
This movie needs to be high on your rewatch list if you ever get a nice surround sound setup. It was demo material for decades after it came out and the first movie I watched when i got my setup.
Nedry didn't open the gates/turn off the fences to cover his tracks. The park is so poorly designed that he HAD to turn them off so he could drive the Jeep TO the east dock to deliver the embryos. That's why he doesn't bother with the raptor pen. Everything was done for the plan only, including disabling the door locks in the visitor center and shutting down the closed circuit cameras in the lab.
Great reaction however.
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..." 🦖
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST go FASTER! 👽
Kahla will always be the last to die!😂
My favorite Kahla Gems:
On the 6ft turkey not being scary.. “this WHOLE MOVIE is about what happens when you run up on one"…😂😂😂
On the Gallimimus being herbivores.. “don’t matter if they eat meat when they run you over.."😂😂
Whenever Kahla calls someone "Sir"; translation: idiot!😂
‘That is a BA-BY!"😂😂😂
Life lesson demonstrated: there are NO stupid questions..
One of my favorite movies so this reaction video was just too much fun to watch! How about doing a reaction on JAWS next! (Just another one of my favorites!!)
Yes, Jaws is Spielberg's greatest achievement in my opinion. If you look very very closely, Jaws is playing on Nedry's computer in the background. 😁
I'm excited to watch with you , Kahla. I hope you'll see the series through! 7 Looking lovely as usual,I love the vibrant blue! This is such a fun\ scary adventure.
Funny how the rating would allow showing humans to be eaten but Sam Jackson is not allow to say his favorite words.
Pls pls pls watch then all. You're in for a treat 😅. 3 was always my favourite despite the hate most have for it❤
This was the only movie that my parents could use to put to sleep as a baby lol
I always thought it was dumb that they act like opening unlocked doors is some sort of crazy smart thing for an animal to be able to do. Tons of animals do that just fine. I'd say that not being able to figure it out is a sign of abnormal stupidity in an animal.
I watch a mountain lion & a black leopard on TH-cam who've both learned to open doors (I_am_puma and Lunathepantera).
I love your calm, clear voice. It's very ASMR-oriented, if you've ever thought of making any videos of that nature I would love to experience that. Your stress level isn't the only one that's sky-high 😣 Girl, don't even get me starTED 😅 Sitting in the hospital waiting for them to come tell me when I can get the hell out of here. Thank you for helping to make the time pass more pleasantly ❤ Your videos always make me 😊
I'm glad you enjoy my videos. 🥰 I've actually thought about ASMR here and there, but I'm not sure about it just yet. If it ever becomes a thing, I'll make an announcement. 🙂
In the end, the real friend was the T-Rex we made along the way.
The glass from the sun roof collapsing and pinning the kids was an accident, but Spielberg kept it in because it added to the fear and tension.
Wrong
The parents took my bro & me to the drive-in to see this one when it came out.
The only reason those kids were at that Park was because their parents were getting a divorce like the lawyer said in the beginning of the movie that's why the kids are with their grandfather's island.
This woman is so intelligent and funny I'm in love 😭
That T-rex has a lot coming up to deal with over its 6 movie /2 trilogy life. Lol Love Rexy! 🦖
In the novel the grandchildren are different ages. Movie Gennaro is a combination of two book characters.
Kahla Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
oh your gonna love the next part
I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna learn about real dinos (which technically include birds), I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s).
34:11 - front row center seat! That scene made all of us jump. Then we looked at each other and laughed.😅
The goat was the appetizer and Gennaro was the main course.
At the time of this movie, the popular idea of dinos was that they were incredibly stupid and sluggish. They were depicted as dragging their tails in the mud (because at the time it was thought they were limited to swamps). Some dinos were thought to have had a second brain near their tail (they didn't). So the book and movie went out of the way by over compensating them, as extremely fast and extremely smart. A T-rex could only run about 15 mph due to shifting of its weight from leg to leg. Scientists don't think raptors could figure out how to open doors.
The special effects in this movie simply blew people away when it came out. Up until then, dinos were represented in movies with jerky stop-action clay animations (as per the original 1933 King Kong) or filming a Gila Monster up close from the low angle, then projecting it behind the actors blown up in size. (Or for some dino-type monsters, a man in a rubber lizard suit, aka the first Godzilla.)
There's no reason why raptors wouldn't be able to figure out how to open doors. Raptor arms lack the articulation to actually do it like in the movie, since they can't rotate their wrists like that, but they could do it in other ways. Modern day reptiles can figure out how to open doors, some snakes, monitor lizards and tegu's have already demonstrated this repeatedly. Raptors are very closely related to birds, so they would probably be quite smart for a reptile. Probably not quite as intelligent as the ones in Jurassic Park, but definitely not dumb.
“I wouldn’t wanna be Geoffrey”
Old joke : I can buy the part
about mosquito DNA making
all this possible, but I will not
believe that a T Rex could
digest a lawyer.
I don't agree with everything Malcom or Sattler say, but I understand where they're coming from. Nature is not some sentient thing that selected dinosaurs for extinction (unless you think the Earth is a sentient being that can call meteors to itself to wipe out life). But it is extremely reckless to bring these creatures back without a lot of study, especially into a situation that doesn't have multiple failsafe backups for the tour (the creatures resurrected are from many different eras in Earth's history, not just the ones that were destroyed by a meteor hitting the Earth in the Late Cretaceous. The Jurassic period is long before both the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex were, which were both from the Cretaceous period). The electric fences and tour vehicles should have had dedicated backup generators, and the pens themselves should have had additional barriers, such as elevation differences, to prevent the dinosaurs from being able to threaten the tourists in the event of a total electrical breakdown (I know, the T Rex pen is not exactly portrayed in a way that makes logical sense, but the massive drop we see for the car absolutely makes sense from a tour show standpoint since it would prevent the T Rex from reaching the electric fence at all, let alone during a power failure. But the drama of having a T Rex tear its' way through the fence to threaten the tourists, and then making it a huge drop for the car, makes sense for the movie).
40:48-Yeah, it took 'em 4 films to figure out that idea just wasn't gonna work! But we all know after what happens in J.P. 2, ( No spoilers ) Ingen would be shut down for good by governments worldwide.
My question has always been, why climb down under the car,? Why not climb down on the other side of the tree,??
Well, yes! Lots of things like that in order to make the story scary. As far as I know, being on an electric fence is not dangerous, as birds perch on high tension lines. It is when you step down and touch the ground while still touching the wires. Looks like Timmy could squeeze through the fence openings. too.
Despite the heavy emphasis on dinosaurs, Michael Crichton’s theme of scientific hubris is perhaps more relevant today than it has ever been, since we are very much still surrounded by individuals who lack ethical and moral discipline who fiddle with things they have no business messing with (we might have had a certain viral outbreak caused by a certain lab in a certain Asian country 4 years ago to serve as a recent example of such, just saying).
Also fun fact: Tyrannosaurus’s foreword facing eyes were akin to that of an eagle’s and likely weren’t restricted to detecting prey based on just movement. Let thank sink into your nightmares😁
Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes weren't just akin to that of eagles, but they probably surpassed it. Their sense of smell was likely even better than it's eyesight, which could've allowed it to locate and track prey.
