Everything GREAT About Jurassic Park! 

Life…uh… finds a way

SAME DUDE!!!

The amount of comments I’ve left do this film haha

@@samclarkson1248 I was so tempted to do that too😂

Yes!! I’ve been waiting, I’m so glad it’s here!!!!

Exactly! More people need to know about this

Ok wow. I like to think of myself as fairly intelligent but I genuinely feel like a blithering idiot in your presence. *tips hat, goes to work on my nerd-game

A further fun fact, Utahraptor (which is pretty much the same size and a heavier build like the JP raptors) was actually being studied WHILE Jurassic Park was in pre-production. Palaeontologist Bob Bakker, who was a consultant on the movie at the time, tells the story that he got a call from Jim Kirkland, one of the palaeontologists studying what would soon be named Utahraptor, to tell him about the discovery. Bakker recalls excitedly yelling into the phone, "JIM, you just found Spielberg's raptor!" The scientific description of Utahraptor was officially published in June 1993, the same month Jurassic Park premiered!

@@idrawsdinosaurs400 ok, so it WAS kirkland, not horner. i mixed up the two. yeah, i heard about that, too. Kirkland recounted it in a book he co-authored called "Star Trek: First Frontier" (yes, a star trek TOS book about dinosaurs, also, yes, a guy named James Kirkland co-wrote a star trek TOS book. lol). I also remember Bakker recounting the story in his book "Raptor Red".

I somehow missed the name detail. that explains why the raptors in the book weren't as small as people kept claiming velociraptors to be. they were described as being nearly 6 feet tall.

The best part of his character is that EVERYONE knows a Nedry. We all have a coworker or associate who's greedy, selfish, slovenly, takes shortcuts, and (we like to imagine at least) wouldn't hesitate to throw us under the bus for some quick cash. It makes him delightfully cathartic to root against.

I always hated that in most of the sequels, the villains are mindless, military guys that want to turn the dinosaurs into weapons. It's stupid and you'd think they'd learn after a few movies. There's a reason modern militaries don't try to use tigers, bears, or some other wild, apex predator as weapons. They're unpredictable and are just as likely to kill your side as your enemies. The last thing a military would want is something like that on the front lines. The only way a dinosaur would be useful would be to like airdrop them into a country you're not actually in direct conflict with to cause havoc. For Nedry, giving the embryos to a rival company trying to do the same thing as Hammond using them as an attraction at least makes reasonable sense as a motive.

@@gregtalley1601 I do think it's funny that one of the most successful Universal Studios films of all time features a villain who's trying to one-up an incredible theme park.

@@hazelbaumgartner9706 Disney glares from the other side of Orlando. 😆

Nedry is a good villain, but he’s also one of the only problems I have with the movie - and it’s the biggest problem: Hammond constantly repeats “I spared no expense!”, but the whole problem of the movie IS because Hammond did get stingy with an expense by not paying Nedry enough. Granted we don’t know how much Nedry did want that Hammond refused to pay, but still, it is a bit lame that’s the reason for everything getting screwed up. I would’ve liked the plot to have been caused by something more nature based than just cliche human greed. Nedry could’ve still by trying to steal the eggs by being a corporate spy instead of just greedy and vengeful, then the incoming storm could’ve knocked out the power instead.

Oh my goooossssh! They would have to get me new pants!

Still not something I believe. Actors would mention it if that was the case. Facebook rumors, more or less.

@@TyrannoWright This film did not come out long after the internet was born.

@@tiffanypersaud3518 And you misread it. Nobody else in any BtS interviews mentions it.

@@TyrannoWright Misread what? You mentioned Facebook. Faccebook wasn't out back then - no social media like today was out back then. So if they wanted to tweet about things, we wouldn't see it then. Now, with BtS, that is also pretty much controlled by the studio unless footage and info is leaked. They were minors on the set and if the studio didn't want problems with CPS, they wouldn't advertise that they potentially endangered children with glass that wasn't supposed to break. A lot of the time, cast members sign contracts and are prepped by executives before interviews about what is limited to say as well.

they don't have that any longer?! I rode it when I was 18 back in 2000, it was deadly awesome

85-foot vertical drop into 1.2 million gallons of water. You never forget something like that.

@@ser132 I forget if it was the one in Orlando or California, but they changed it to fit with the new Jurassic World movie instead of the original

@@zavodila9279 I believe Florida's hasn't converted to World yet.

@@christheleavittman7080 it hasn't I was on it a few years ago and I went last year yes I Will never forget that ride nobody warned me I actually felt like I was free falling my butt came off the seat a little bit I was 13

i think it was just having blind faith in the technology (and money to throw at safety). I do wish the film had included one of the best scenes of this in the book. the scene about the system counting the animals. that the security system could count all the animals and tell them instantly if one had died or gone missing. yet it never warned them about the animals breeding because they set the population number to what they had released. with no way for the system to tell them of more. so when they raise the total population count, suddenly the system finds another 30+ animals in the park.

@@RaptorNX01 That scene was awesome, I read both books earlier this spring and wish I had read them so much sooner. They're so good!!!

@@julianr8544 yeah, not being familiar with the book till after I had seen the movie, the raptor count going up to 38 was an "oh s***" moment.

@@RaptorNX01 I'm pretty sure I was actually smiling during that cause I knew things were about to pop off and it was done really well just how badly Hammond and his people had messed up.

I love this comment so much

while true, we shouldn't ignore that puppets tend to move unnaturally (this really annoys me when people praise practical effects for looking super realistic, but they actually look more fake then 90% of cgi). what made this movie work is how it switches between the too based on what each technique does best

@@marcopohl4875 This is really the only movie in my eyes to TRULY perfect that combination of practical/CG. What’s even greater is that the special effects were even also practical in a sense, since Phil tippet and the crew basically used early motion capture to add more realism to the dinosaurs movements. Just an astounding feat in filmmaking

@marcopohl4875 I also think high definition media ruins the illusion of practical effects. One example being the somewhat recent Lord of The Rings 4K release. On the old DVDs, everything looked grounded and realistic, but the 4K release really highlights some of the lesser effects and makes the movies look way more dated and cheap. Another example is Jurrasic World, with the injured apatosaurus Owen finds in the grass. It just doesn't look convincing in any shape or form. It basically looks like a huge rubber sock puppet. Even 20 years after the first JP movie. Part of the reason I think is because of the crystal clear quality of the movie. Another thing is that its skin looks too clean and too gloosy. Real animals of that type don't have wax dipped skin, so it automatically looks fake. So I'm all for quality CGI over practical effects for the sake of practical effects.

@@passionoflovers Another part of it is probably that animatronics and full monster practical effects have become a little bit of a lost art. Like, they're still used, and in recent years we've even gotten a few movies specifically setting out to remind people of how awesome they can be, but they aren't the cornerstone of their genres anymore. Full, mostly untouched animatronics are almost more of a gimmick now, and some movies even pride themselves in letting you see some of the rough edges, but back in their heyday, they were never intended to have any noticeable rough edges to begin with. It's kinda like modern pixel art. It's gorgeous, it's very appealing, and it's even pretty close to how old school 8 & 16 bit games look on modern displays, but it's not at all what they looked like at the time, or how they were supposed to look. I'm not saying modern pixel art games should strive to look like that, but it is worth keeping in mind, and the same holds true here. Nowadays, people find some of the sharp jittery motions of Ray Harryhausen's Medusa from Clash of the Titans to be both jarring and also part of the uncanny creepiness of her presentation, but if you'd said that to the man himself at the time, he'd have told you that he specifically did everything in his power to make it look as seamless as possible. We live now in an era where full animatronic monsters aren't common, and half the time we do see them, they're kind of a gimmick. They're fun and nostalgic, but they aren't actually striving for the strengths of the trade. Part of this is probably just a lack of experience. A lot of directors using them don't have as much experience with them, for the simple reason that they aren't so ubiquitous anymore, and a much smaller portion of the industry specialises in them now. They're also just really difficult and expensive to do right without CG cleanup. CG has gotten much easier, much more variable, and much more powerful of a tool to use, but animatronics are still expensive, time consuming, and really risky from a production standpoint. Also, in cases like with The Thing (2011), we have poorly selected test audiences telling executives that they're antiquated and unappealing.

Yeah, well you can't always afford to build sets, puppets and all sorts of practicallity. Sometimes it's a lot cheaper and quicker to use CGI.

It also shows how he thinks of himself as being above everything as well. You'd think he'd at least learn something about the dinosaurs that inhabits the park, but no. He thinks of himself as smarter than anything and anyone.

@kennashey and even then, he was supposedly smart enough not to shut down the raptor pen.

@@passionoflovers I imagine some of that at least stemmed due to the relevantly recent death of one of the animal handlers at the Raptor Pen that is shown at the start of the film. My thought is that he was playing it safe due to that.

It’s so much more then that, yeah it’s incredible because “Holy shit it’s a T-Rex” but it’s also more then that, it’s seeing an entire life’s research made manifest, it’s seeing every fact you fought for and against staring you down, it’s everything you’ve dedicated your life to right in front of you, especially back then when the T-Rex was more or less considered the alpha dinosaur

@@silenc3068it is still the apex predator of its time, there wasn’t a single animal on land that could truly rival an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex

It's also a pretty amazing blueprint of how to use a romance plot without having to end with a big kiss.

They have a frickin amazing love history, first they're boyfriends but the kids where a problem, until, thanks to the first movie, it's not longer and Grant loves the kids, later we can see how life separates them, being a pretty sad but realistic moment of their lives, we can see in both faces that they still love each other, and finally return being what the always meant to be, probably having kids this time. It's holy breathtaking, I love them.

Well we didn't see more because both actors hated the age difference and thought it was wrong

Well, at least they got there eventually. I don't know how most fans feel about it --- I intentionally avoid looking up these kinds of things --- but that one scene in Jurassic World: Dominion made me happy.

@@LamanKnight If CinemaWins do a EGA Dominion video, that scene needs at least 20 wins

Because they were intelligent, worldly, educated enough people.

Yes, something this film has in common with Alien. Heightens the suspense and the action so much.

And they 100% need to give their full undivided attention too lol

If only he had had more time to listen to Grant's theories on raptor hunting techniques. Poor Muldoon, he really didn't deserve it. He was my favourite character of the role of keeper/warden/hunter, he took it 100% seriously.

Small nitpick, but T. rex wasn't actually the largest. Carcharodontosaurus saharicus was a large theropod like Tyrannosaurus that lived in Africa in the late Cretaceous that was discovered sometime around World War II and was by every measure larger than Tyrannosaurus. Between T. rex having already been in movies since movies were invented and "Carcharodontosaurus" being much harder for kids to say, though, T. rex became the go-to monster bad guy dinosaur.

@@hazelbaumgartner9706 trex was heavyer than carcar and weight says the size of the thing

Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Gigantosaurus, and Carnotarus were all larger than Tyrannosaurus rex (and yes you can argue Spinosaurus was aquatic and ate mostly fish, but the two largest Spinosaurus fossils were found near the Nile River's banks meaning it was still more inland than Ichthythosaur which was strictly aquatic as it couldn't live outside of water like Spinosauruses were capable of doing due to needing to breathe air)

Yeah i remember seeing a interview or something about them being legit scared because it crushed the car more than intended

​@@plummet3860the rain made the Rex malfunction and when it was putting its head through the glass it used alot more force than intended

True story- I used this line in a term paper when comparing Frankenstein to Jurassic Park when I was in college. Yes I’m a nerd.

@@kelli3814 A very apt comparison.

It's my favorite line in the movie. My favorite scene is Lex holding the jello.

I love how it comes back around in JW when Wu is talking about how if he doesn't create them, someone else will! Ties both back to the first book when Malcolm talks about it and I OBSESS every time I watch them. (Which is like every day).

Win 52 actually

Point about Harding being de-aged in the game is because the guy who played Harding, Gerald R Molan (who is also one of the producers), wouldn't let them use his likeness.

harding is a more important character in the novel. He administered Malcolm morphine after being attacked and fought off a velociraptor with his bare hands. badass good guy!

An absolute classic

That plot about the can came from an unused Jurassic Park 4 script.

That plot about the can came from an unused Jurassic Park 4 script.

Amen brother. Knowing when to use music and when not to can make or break a movie.

It’s not actually a silent scene, but when I think of ‘effective use of soundtrack’, I think of a slow-mo explosion scene in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie, weirdly enough. The explosion sounds are very muted, all you hear is a single violin that almost sounds like it’s wailing in grief- fitting, as it looks like Watson dies. Even knowing they wouldn’t kill off Watson, your stomach drops anyway.

Honestly, the movie has a childish theme to it. The book on the other hand is brutal tense and truly horrifying. I think the book ruined the movie for me reading it post many years after seeing movie lol

@@plumbherhub1664 I've read the book as well and it the book seemed a little too comic book hero stuff at one point. Genarro and Muldoon trying to kill the T Rex with rocket launchers? lol interesting.

@Ross lol strait up blew one up into pieces lol but when you think about it yea I'd want shape charge rockets too. He'll a elephant you need like a 700 nitro to take down and there's huge dinos so yea outside of shot guns and phosphorus rounds I'd want an rpg lol

@@plumbherhub1664 It makes sense they'd think ahead like that but it made them look like superheroes to me lol

Back when they made movies to entertain and not pandering to a specific audience or milking an established franchise

only more horrifying. lol

You feel bad for Nedry in the novel, specially for the last line of that chapter. "and then the horror of that realization was follow to a final wish that it will all end soon. "

Yeah, I actually cried from shock when I read it. And I'm not scared of dinosaurs so...yeah. Says something.

Cap. The brachiosauruses look bad.

@@buster3041 The disrespect.

@@buster3041 Same for all the cg dinos tbh. It's normal standards have changed since then and CG has come so far that even at least part of the trex scene look a bit uncanny to me. What can't ever be taken away is that it looks better than a lot of movies to come and even some to this day without a doubt.

The cgi doesn't hold up at all What holds up is how masterfully they hid the really bad parts of the cg And the amazing writing Obviously

@@Ayoul those brachs always looked bad lol. That was not a case of time changing perception.

I hate how often she's overlooked for title of "classic horror film scream queens."

@@hazelbaumgartner9706 Yeah for real.

All Al the inaccuracies can be blamed on the dna gaps

I saw these blueprints on another youtubers channel and yes it give a lot more clarity to the moat being there. It helps make the t-rex's exit make more sense.

Oh my god Prehistoric Park and Nigel Marvin were my childhood, even more than this movie.

Doesn’t need to be recreated, other stories have their own realism, we don’t need comparisons for quality to exist in fiction

yeah, he missed the detail that grant actually says "one of those" when hammond mentions a park for kids. but Ellie mishears him as "what are those", then sarcastically corrects him. its a fun little human touch you almost never seen in films.

And when he’s worrying, it’s not frantic. You can practically see his brain working, and he phrases his thoughts in a way that lets the words sink In before the inevitable danger moment draws in

Your dad is a guy after my heart. I'm obsessed with how neat that detail is, yet noone ever mentions it

What's fun about that?

Probably because it wasn’t suppose to happen

Unfortunately, that's not actually true -- the roof was intended to break, the kids are just good actors! What did happen is that Rexy pushed too far in one take and lost a tooth because of it.

@@squalusvinco3086 Yeah, if you watch the scene in slo-mo you can actually see the tooth go flying, and when she roars at Alan, you can see that gap in between the teeh.

That also sounds like a horrifying and dangerous thing to do to the actors. Animatronics can be dangerous if they're particularly heavy, and child actors have a hard enough time as it is in the movie industry.

@Squalus Vinco yeah the lost tooth. I think in the later movies where she appears, you can see a gap in her top row of teeth where she is missing a tooth.

@Squalus Vinco I call that fortunate actually. Because people like to laugh it off when we hear about directors surprising actors like that however i always saw it as being in poor taste, especially if actors are children. Just think if that were real he would have terrified two children for the sake of a good shot

He plays no characters, he plays Jeff Goldbloom in everything.....EVERYTHING.

@@michaelgallagher3640 go watch raines. Maybe that changes your opinion 😊

I was 9 when this came out. I nearly broke my mums hand when we saw it at the cinema. And I refused to go into the toilets after the film too (didn't want to get eaten by a t rex 🤣). It's an amazing film!!

It really is different in the theater.

Always smart to listen to the professionals !

Hey, keep up the good work! Things may look impossible, but life, uh, finds a way.

I truly hope that 2023 and beyond are much better years for you.

Hang in there dude. You've got this. All of your EGA buddies are rooting for you.

Also the Rexy trying to eat the tire but unable to. This is similar to how cats/dogs behave to things that they never encountered before. This is also works to contrasting the Raptors incredible intelligence. While T-Rex act as simply an animal with massive force of destruction, the Raptors act as a cunning demon. The contrasting personality make the movie has a rich flavour of dangers.

No, it was always supposed to break the glass, but there was still a malfunction where the big plane of glass was split into two pieces.

Well, not all. To hit all of them this would have been a 127 minute long video.

Yes! I usually want kids to get eaten, but not them. Or Newt. Lol

Not for me… imo they’re the most annoying kid characters on the franchise.

@@killert_7759 More than Masey? I doubt it pretty, pretty much.

@@adamtomascaicedogomez4048 maisie isn’t that annoying in jwd and is only slightly annoying in jwfk. Lex wasn’t too bad but Tim was hella annoying.

@@killert_7759 They are a great improvement over how they are in the book. Let me tell you I every time I've read the book, I wanted to reach in through the pages to yell at Lex. They switched their ages in the movie and SIGNIFICANTLY turned down how annoying they were.

Seconding Ice Age (2002)! I've been asking for an EGA Ice Age 1 for _years_ and would *love* to see it done on this channel!

I was on the refueling team for the helo on board my last ship (Coast Guard). We always ducked real low for that reason. We only stood up when directly next to the helo itself.

Dominion and Fallen Kingdom, they are the worst by far but if people enjoy them then there's nothing wrong.

You've seen the 3rd and 6th one right?? They are very shit

@@DioYoga69 I just was happy to see Ian Malcom

As a diehard Jurassic fan, JW was good, FK was fine but forgettable, dominion was just bad. The script, the pacing, the dinosaurs (or lack of) dominion was genuinely the worst blockbuster movie I’ve seen in quite a while

Born June 10th 1993. A day before this movie was released. Even tho I didn't know that at the time. It has always been my favorite movie. Icing on top. The newer movies always come out around my birthday. And the fam knows already. Take me to see the movie as a bday gift 💯 im with ya homie

Same here. Still want to be tbh

YUP, but I wasn't Born yet and when I saw JP3 I was TERRIFIED as F**K

I wanted to be a velociraptor because of this movie... I was a weird kid.

Same! I was 5 and it made me want to get into biology 😅

@@joshcreek9531 Nice :)
