7 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Jurassic Park 

To be fair B.D. Wong had a lot of his scenes cut out and his character was much more important in the book.

Jurassic Park is a masterpiece in film-making. Jurassic World is a masterpiece in hype and selling merchandise.

Not only do the effect in the original hold up, they actually look better than a good chunk of the CG done today.

Oh, how I wish the appreciated use of practical effects would return to film... :'(

CG effects are way overused today. Practical effects should be used wherever they can be, with CG there to fill in the gaps. No matter how good CG can be made to look, too often it comes across as awkward. Of course, there are some huge exceptions to that, but let's be honest, that's all Andy Serkis.

There's one Easter egg you missed. In The Lost World, when the Rex walks past the basketball net in San Diego, he makes a motion with his hand. It's been interpreted two ways. Rex making a dribbling motion (as per basketball) and/or right before he does that, he cocks his head to the right and scratches his ear, referencing the Rex from King Kong.

Why does everyone present the talking raptor scene as if it's actually part of the plot of the third movie?

The best part is that ILM is still around and worked for jurassic world...! BEST CGI STUDIO EVER..!

There's no doubt CGI is everywhere in films today, but I'm all for it if it's done well.

2:23 When he said “Awwww” Sounded like the JP2 Lost World, Juvenile Rex crying.

the special effects in the first one are somehow more convincing/entertaining than the newest one. I think the movie industries got a bit obsessed with cgi over the last 20 years, but hopefully movies like mad max and star wars can change that.

Thank you for sharing with us everything the special features on the blu-ray already explained.

"Pretty much all of our action movies are cartoons now..." Sad truth. I always hope movies, especially remakes, stay true to the original with little use of CGI... You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane.

I love how the T-Rex dribbles when he passes the hoop near the pool. That cracks me up every time

I love these “you probably didn’t know about JP” videos. As usual, I already knew everything featured in this video.

I think all the JP movies are good, I don't care what anyone else thinks.

Animatronics are better than cgi in every way except budget.

I think the original effects will always stand the test of time. There was a fair balance of animatronics and CG. Since they used animatronics in a lot of scenes, the actors were actually interacting with something as opposed to standing in front of a green screen, where its just not the same. Take the Raptor in the Shed scene. It was actually there and everyone knew it and it jump scared me when I first saw it! I don't mind CG if its done right, but there's something about animatronics that CG can't match. Even though the scene where we see the Brachiosaurus was CG, it looked very real as if it was there.

Until recently I thought everyone liked the third movie, everyone I know likes it but people on the internet don't. My ranking of the movies would be 1>3>2

Here’s something worth thinking about regarding the “Plausibility” of Jurassic Park. But first, just a little of my backstory. While attending college, during a class of Anatomy & Physiology, I was discussing with another student how cool the movie was. Okay, I’m an old fart! : ) Moving along. Our prof heard us and said to us, “Do you know why that story couldn’t happen?” My being one of the top two in the class might have been disappointing to her when I said, “No.” She probably wept for the future. Nevertheless, she said, “It could never be because they were using DNA from blood. Red blood cells have no nucleus and therefore NO DNA!” Years later I did a little research into the percentage of white blood cells to red. The numbers are staggeringly scarce for white blood cells. (White blood cells do have a nucleus but the white blood cells are very few compared to red.) So, forget DNA degrading over time, forget mosquito digestive juices - the tiny mosquito tummy and the odds of finding a viable nucleus would be astronomical. This is not hidden information. The reason I say this is, allegedly there have been some “scientists” considering this idea as plausible. And the MOST interesting part of this story is, the scam these “scientists” considered pulling on the public while knowing the true DNA availability. Keep your eyes open. There’s some weird stuff out there! Amanda Joyce 🎀

James Cameron tried to buy the rights to the Michael Crichton book. Imagine a violent R rated 90s James Cameron Jurassic Park!

lost world and jp3 where better then people say they are

2:03 I thought the all the dinosaurs were female lol

Omg, that poor shivery T-Rex. ❤ All those people, toweling him off. Lol

Since I was 3 years old this has been my favorite movie of all time

The Lost World was just as good as the first one, and JP3 wasn't my favorite of the four but it was still good.

I liked Jurassic Park 2 and 3 very underrated. What was wrong with it

8. Adam Jones (guitarist for Tool) actually worked on the animatronic puppets for Jurassic Park and can be seen working on them in the Making of Jurassic Park bonus feature on the Blu-ray/DVD (which is where most of these things we "didn't know" came from).

If Jurassic World is a direct sequel... THEN IT'S NOT A REBOOT!

3:45 - Uh, no, it's actually a deinonychus. Velociraptors were 2 feet tall and were covered in feathers.

GIVE THAT T REX A BLANKET GOD DAMN IT

"---pretty much all of our action movies are cartoons now." You got it! I like it!

they should have used more puppets in Jurassic World they only used one apatosaurus puppet

I’m glad they made it rain during the Rex attack. That scene in the book was scary as hell.

Jurassic World's official release date is also June 11th in Argentina. I'm sure it'll be the case in many countries, not just Serbia!

Yus! I saw it June 11th

I don't think JP3 gets enough credit. If anything, it was a fun way to waste 90 minutes with some memorable scenes strewn about. Before you yell "BUT MUH REX", the Tyrannosaur is still the best dinosaur on either Sorna or Nublar, but the Spinosaur, (at least in the JP canon ), is the stronger predator of the two. The movie also looked really good, with set design being impeccable while giving some insight into what went into InGen's work on Sorna, (albeit fucking with us kn the island's geography). Also: ALAN.

A revolutionary movie! Awesome story and ground breaking special effects.

A lot of these facts you can find in the special features in the dvds so yeah im assuming people knew some of them. And for the haters, i see the "probably" in the title.

Everything to the OG JP holds up I am still blown away on how beautiful the T-Rex looks to this day in the road scene.

I already knew the water cup thing. you failed cinefix....you failed

I love Jurassic Park it's tied with Jurassic World as my favorite movie of all time.

I didn't think part 3 was that bad.

2:53 Thank you for mentioning my country on a channel of this caliber!

No bonuses 😢😢😢 I was soooo looking forward to a bonus bonus lol

7:00pm and 10:00pm screenings, so it pretty much does open on 11 June.

Funny how the dinosaurs in JP3 look better than the ones in JW

You know I was just thinking about this awesome series while on the toilet taking a crap. I don't know why I shared that............

Jurassic park 3 rocked. all of them rocked

Although I love practical effects, CG is the way to go nowadays. Looks great, uses a lot less resources.

Clever writing in making Jurassic World a direct sequel to the original movie. This would make JP3 a direct sequel to LW. The cannon lines up. Both LW and JP3 took place on Isla Sorna and JP and JW took place on Isla Nublar. Neither storylines ever have to acknowledge each other. That being said, Jurassic Park helped to update the image of the tyrannosaurus rex. In the past, every major cinematic piece dealing with T-rex often depicted it as standing upright and dragging its tail behind it; some sort of tri-pod stance. (Land Before Time, Fantasia, King Kong, even We're Back A Dinosaur's Story). In Jurassic Park, the T-rex is shown more accurately standing and moving in a purely bipedal stance. The massive legs and thighs of the t-rex helped pivot its body, while its long, heavy tail remained mid-air counter balancing its massive 5ft long head. T-rex also had binocular vision, or frontward facing eyes. This is a more subtle detail, but one that Jurassic Park captures in many of its close-ups of t-rex. One of the things they sensationalized though, is the size of t-rex. Its far too big in the movie. T-Rex's have about the same mass as an elephant, spread over a frame that's 12-15ft tall and approximately 40ft long. The specimen in the movie was closer to 20ft tall. To put this into perspective, it would've been about as big as the Spinosaurus from JP3.

The last action movie I can think of that used "old school" special effects was Underworld - which actually turned out really well. I think a lot of movie makers today underestimate just how much you can do without CG - though obviously CG has opened doors to scenes that simply would not have been possible 22 years ago.

heres one thing *you* didnt know about Jurassic park (mainly because you'd have no cause to know) which is that my uncle worked on the first one. He worked with industrial lights and magic on this, as well as jumangi, star trek the next generation, and schindlers list, among others

Been a huge JP fan since day one in 1993, thought we knew everything about the franchise. This actually showed us a couple new things. Cheers on the good work!

Jurassic World's CGI blows Jurassic Park's out of the water; it's very, very good.

The first Jurassic Park was done soooo well that it does look better then some movies many years after. A classic for sure.

CG is totally overused these days.. pisses me off.

This just reminded me how awesome jurassic Park is.

come on! jurassic park 3 is a great movie! the freaking raptor talking was the ONLY ridiculous moment and they only added it so the movie would have SOME HUMOR

Probably the best combination of cgi and practical effects. Ever. Even looking back now from my handheld telephonic device that has probably thousands to millions of times the processing power of the computers that made JP, it still looks very real. Those dinosaurs were there eating people really I swear.

I'm with the Nostalgia Critic on Jurassic Park 3. It didn't seem to take itself as seriously as The Lost World, so it kind of gets a free pass. It was not that great of a movie, but the Lost World kind of sucked and it expected to be good. I think the Lost World could have been a great movie, had the focus been on Pete Postletwaithe's character instead of Jeff Goldbum and Julianne Moore (both of them absolutely destroy this film) Vince Vaughn was surprisingly tolerable; although his character was the whole reason so many people died. So, if they focused on the hunters and their struggle on the island, it could have been cool. There's a deleted scene where Pete is in Mombassa, being the kickass hunter he is, when his friend comes to him to say that there's a place called Isla Sorna where dinosaurs are and he can go bag a Tyrannosaurus. During this scene, he's shown to be a tremendous badass, beating the ever living shit out of a man that can't keep his hands off a waitress (with his hand tied behind his back). If the film was about Roland Tembo, it would have been pretty cool.

You can't help but miss the practical effects from before. :) Still an awesome film. 'Nuff said.

Let's face it... Hollywood has become incredibly lazy... they use WAY TOO MUCH CGI in films today and films suffer because of that! That said, Jurassic Park was done so beautifully that I really wish people making films now would pay closer attention to details. And yes, I know they had animatronics in Jurassic Park, but the CGI was really well done. The original - from 1993 - is *_still_* a classic film!

Watson, this is amazing. I, using Musical Theory, have created an iconic cinematic moment.

I Love it.... after watching the movie for myself.... I can hear the sound of every critics head popping out of their ass.... POP!!!!!!!!!! Its been a long time since I've seen a movie this well thought out.... water tight in anti clenches, very ballsy writing, Id say the only thing ever redone was the communicating raptors... but even that was spectacular.... A lot of catch you off guard scenes...... a See it twice twist to make sure you conceived it right.... Great Character build up till the last breath.... Makes you Laugh Scream Cry and pee yourself.... equally balanced, making sure there wasn't too much of this or too much of that... Great scene Orchestration as well as Audio and Visual enhancement, If you thought you seen a Jurassic Park Movie, than you are mistaken... because you have only seen the tip of the ice burg...... GREAT JOB STEVE!!!!! YOU THE MAN!!!! Standing Ovation in the theater I went to... WE ALL CLAPPED WHISTLED CHEERED !!!!! Nothing but people buzzing about how awesome it was.... :)

That T-Rex animatronic is so good, even whilst it's being dried with towels, it still looks better than the Jurassic world CGI! Like seriously, that footage with the towels is surreal, it really looks like they are toweling down a T-Rex:)

I hated the scene in The Lost World where the T Rex eats the Dog

The fact that the special effects guy was able to do that all by accident after setting a cup of water down at home then plucking a guitar string turned perfectly to some certain frequency is just blowing my mind lol.

Did you know the scene when the T. rex smashed into car in Jurassic park with the kids wasn't suppose to happen. It was like a malfunction in the robot so the kids screaming and holding the glass to protect themselves was real screams and trying to protect themselves

In the book, Henry Wu stayed behind on the island, in fact, many of the staff didn’t evacuate in the book, which resulted with most of them getting killed early on. Henry Wu was killed by raptors after temporarily getting the power back on.

at @0:38 they'res the word "sex" in the glass of water!

Jurassic Park holds up today. The special effects are great, the story is engaging and has great pace, it’s basically a perfect movie. No lulls, and with Steven Spielberg’s teamed with John Williams it’s a slam dunk of a movie.

WHY DOES EVERYONE SHIT ON LOST WORLD IT DID WAY MORE JUSTICE TO THE BOOK THAN THE FIRST MOVIE WHAT THE FUCK??

I love your jurrastic park movies the effects are fantastic

CG is overused? George Miller says otherwise.

Practical effects add visceral elements to watching movies that feel authentic. The authenticity of practical effects adds a little realism and authenticity to movie scenes will never come across from CGI watching action movies.

Not only do the Jurassic Park effects still hold up today but they look so much better then the shit Jurassic World put out.

Jurassic Park...20+ years old and still the best looking dinosaurs on film.

Why did every one hate JP3 so much? It put Spino in the Publics eye.......EXACTLY WHAT ARCHEOLOGIST (Shromer?)WHO FOUND THE BONES WANTED! But the only known complete bones were destroyed in a bombing run during WW2. Only recently was a semi complete Spino was discovered! Guess what, it was HUGE, probably spent most of it's time on 4 legs, and was most likely a river specialist fish eater! Look up PBS's Special, Bigger the T-Rex. Looking at Shromer's (?) dreams, how WW2 not only destroyed all his discoveries AND killed 2 of his 3 sons(he was anti Nazi and paid for it) you can't help but feel bad for him. It was his dream for Spino to overtake T-Rex in terms of being a house hold name. Steven Spielberg for filled that decease paleontologists dreams thru JP3. When Steven passes away, I bet Shromer(?) will be there at the pearly gates waiting to give him a giant hug of thanks. Heck, when they discovered the recent set of Spino bones I bet Shromer's (?) spirit was there crying tears of joy. His biggest discovery, lost, was found again. And it was bigger then the T-Rex. RIP Shromer (?). You lost so much during WW2. All your discoveries, even your own children. You almost faded into oblivian. But now, everyone knows what a Spinosaurous is. Just what you wanted!

3:01 Actually, Lost World and JP3 are still canon. JP3 is referenced in the Masrani Global viral website, Masrani being the current owners of Jurassic World and InGEN. This is from the website: "Vic Hoskins was involved in overseeing the infamous flying reptile "cleanup" operation over Canada in 2001. Due to the professionalism his team displayed, he was hired personally by Simon Masrani to re-develop InGen’s Security Division, which helped oversee the protection of workers on Isla Nublar during Jurassic World’s construction." www.masraniglobal.com/about/divisions/ingen/security/index.html

JP3 is MUCH better then JW. Sorry.

2:09 this is probably why the glass sun roof broke when the t-rex headbutted it. It wasn't supposed to break so the girl screaming is real fear. I remember i wouldn't go the toilet after the film cuz i thought a t-rex would eat me!! (Well, I was 9) I was so scared!! Even now seeing water rippling in a cup puts me on edge 😬

I knew all 7 of them. Am I JP nerd or what?

Ok, I know many Facts of Jurassic Park, but no. 1 and 5 are amazing!

Am I the only one who thought Jurassic world was horrible?

Love your video!😍 pliss part 2!!

Okay I knew everything apart from CHRIS PRATT IS THE VOICE OF EMMET HOW AM I ONLY FINDING THIS OUT WTF

I knew all of this lol. I just love Jurassic Park.

_"We're ignoring Jurassic Park III for obvious reasons."_ But JP3 was entirely better than The Lost World.

I loved Jurassic world! Even though I had a panic attack near the end of the movie. So scary but so awesome!

I am surprised that a certain fact did not make it into this list. So I don't know if you decided to not put it in for some reason, or simply didn't know about it but here it is; There are no Velociraptors in ANY of the Jurassic Park movies. Now before you say "You idiot of course there are." Let me explain, the raptors in the Jurassic Park are actually based off of Utahraptors which hold the title: Biggest raptor in the world. They can grow almost as long as a fully grown Carnotaurus while Velociraptors are actually 2 foot tall itty bitty little things that weigh less than most dogs, and would probably get their butts whooped by one.

Actually, Henry Wu (played by B. D. Wong) was perhaps the most critical character in the novel. He was the one who worked out how to create dinosaurs in the first place. He was however a relatively minor character in the movie, for some reason.

Jeez youtube vids are telling me to comment now. I won't be told what to do so I'm not gonna.

YAAAS YOU ARE SOOO AWESOME I SUBSCRIBED AFTER WATCHING THIS EPISODE THEN WATCHED ABOUT 20 MORE!!!!!!!!!

Why was 3 so bad? I enjoyed it miles better than 2.

"since all our action movies are cartoons now" - I'm dead

Seriously, stop with Jurassic Park 3!!! It's a good movie! Most of the time, those who are spitting on this film are just morons or fanboys who can't see no further than the end of their noses.

Jurassic park with special effects it was so good when I was 4 years old I thought it was real not kidding

Jurassic Park 3>Lost World.

Also when the T-rex put hi head in the car in the first movie it wasn't meant to break. The Childs screams are real as it was a minor malfunction
