Also: I've seen people react to this film and not follow the sci-fi elements of the plot but Don had no problem, even anticipated the questions the film was going to answer: how do you feed the carnivores? have they seen any dinosaurs on the tour? Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have media literacy, Don.
Fun fact: When they say that the Trex's vision was based on movement, that's what paleontologists thought at the time. It's actually been discovered that Trex had some of the best eyesight of anything that has ever lived. It's eyesight is stronger than an eagles. The Trex's eyesight is so strong that it is believed that they could see and track prey from up to 6 kilometers or 3.72 miles away. In the past Trex was also thought to be relatively stupid like most other dinosaurs are believed to be, this has been disproven due to the large size of the brain cavity in the Trex's skull as well as the large complex neurological sensory system (olfactory regions) that is connected its brain cavity. This results in the belief that Trex was actually highly intelligent and even possessed problem solving capabilities like a crow or a primate. Another awesome fact is that unlike in the movies where you can hear the Trex's walking from super far away due to its thundering footsteps, it is believed that Trex and other large carnivores actually had a kind of padding on their feet that effectively silenced their approach. It is also believed that Trex possessed one of the keenest senses of smell among all dinosaurs, meaning it could smell scents from extremely great distances. Trex also had exceptional hearing capabilities. All of this means that the Trex could see, hear, and smell you long before you could see or hear it. It truly was one of the greatest apex predators to have ever lived.
I always loved the subtle buildup of the raptors. You don't see one until SO late in the film, but you've been hearing the bastards do their tearing-metal shriek from hell since the first scene, so as soon as the buggers show up you know EXACTLY what you're looking at. Subtle, but masterful.
The movie was great, but the book was FANTASTIC!!!!!! The book just feels like a different entity from the film. And I think it’s a good thing. Because if they were too similar, the movie would take away from the book or vice versa.
Don - you have no idea how massive this movie was on release back in 1993. The merchandising and everything was crazy. I remember going to see the movie, and the cinemas would give out special Jurassic Park cups that you could take home. This movie was crazy.
The kids were able to shut the raptor in the walk-in freezer because the floor of the freezer was melting and slick, Hamond actually mentioned it earlier in the movie. The raptor didn't have any traction.
The part with the seatbelt is one of my favorite gimmicks most people didn't get. John mentions that all of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are female, and therefore cannot breed, but just like with Alan's seatbelts, he ties the two female ends together hinting towards the notion of "life finds a way".
@@beat_2847 Why else would the camera zoom in on it? Most directors are quite smart and have fun putting in little teasers early in the movie. If the camera focus' on it then it's either important, entertaining or has some kind of tie in later.
@@beat_2847 I would say that is the reach and the other is far more plausible. It is a seatbelt. Hardly complicated technology, and directors do love foreshadowing.
@@aaronsandman749 hm, but if its hardly complicated why was he strugglin? 😂 In my opinion it was obviously meant for this reason bc john didnt know computers and all this "modern" stuff. Ofc its not a new thing anymore. Maybe both options work?
You have to understand that, at the time, no one had seen anything in movies even close to that real looking. When it released this probably was, and still is, the biggest leap in visual effects quality in movie history. Was a really big deal.
For why Nedry was stealing from Hammond, in the novel he was basically convinced by Hammond to work for Ingen by underselling the amount of work he'd be doing for his contract, basically think of if you were expecting to set up the network for a mom & pop business, but instead you found out you were expected to do it for a national or multinational chain and you're not getting paid anywhere near the right amount for that kind of workload. Understandably Nedry quit, and Ingen retaliated by suing him for breach of contract, and whilst the legal battle was happening they bad-mouthed him as unprofessional and incompetent to his various clients. Eventually Nedry had to surrender and continue working for Ingen, and which is why Nedry and Hammond bicker about a financial debate.
"Do you believe in Dinosaurs" is akin to "Do you believe in the sun", "Do you believe that water is wet?" or "Do you believe that dogs can look up?". They are all real and should be believed.
About the only sensible thing you can ask is "Do you believe dinosaurs looked like that?", most depictions of them are of them being warm-blooded lizards and the concept of them possibly having feathers is new. T-rex is considered to be a distant ancestor of the modern chicken, for all we know they could have looked like one.
Yeah but in his defence the idea that dinosaurs were invented to falsify history is a ridiculous but increasingly popular theory, especially in islam. So his question is actually valid.
21:01, Rexy was just supposed to hit it hard, but accidentally went down too far, not only knocking the window loose, but breaking it. The terrified reaction of the kids is real, as they knew it wasn't supposed to get that close or break the window.
Just about to comment that 😂😂. Didn’t the rain/water damage the T-Rex prop and that’s why it went down further than expected and broke the glass? I just heard that somewhere sry if it’s wrong.
@@agentreddagger2408 Yeah Rexy became to heavy with water, that's why it went through the sunroof. In between takes they were drying her down. If you notice closely you can see her jittering a bit here in there.
This is not true at all. I have no idea why this story has spread so far and been accepted as fact. OF COURSE the T-Rex was supposed to break the glass roof. The entire sequence was storyboarded beforehand. Also, no film production or their insurance company would allow the actual child actors to be part of such a dangerous shot, with a huge animatronic T-Rex head plunging towards the child actors. Watch it again -- the only time you see the kids' faces are during reverse shots. When the T-Rex breaks through the glass (which was ALWAYS THE PLAN), those are stunt doubles.
@@agentreddagger2408 It's wrong that it accidentally broke the glass. The head came down faster than expected on one take and the T-Rex chipped its tooth. The kid who played Tim told this story once because he thought it was funny the T-Rex had a chipped tooth... and it has somehow morphed into this weird "fun fact" that I've seen repeated a thousand times that the T-Rex broke the glass by accident and almost killed the child actors. That embellishment is *not true at all.*
I was 12 years old when this movie came out and was spending my summer with my Aunt. She gave me a free movie pass she won to see it at their local theater. This was back in a time when people could just drop their 12 year old kid off at a movie theater and leave them there. lol. I presented my free pass to see this movie and the guy didn't collect it from me. So I went again the next night again for free, long story short they never collected the pass and I went and saw this movie every night for two straight weeks. Its still one of my favorite movies ever.
@@jaxbloxy4392 lol and back then they wouldn't even care if it was rated R. I saw so many R rated movies in theaters without my folks back then, no one even cared.
Lex was trying to signal Grant for help with the flash light. Right before she grabs the light she looks back and says ,"Dr. Grant." And it's not like she had an early 90's cell phone, for all the good that would have done on a remote tropical island. Smart move? Questionable. But the closest adult bailed on her and Timmy. So she tried to signal the dinosaur expert. People need to cut these kids some slack I swear.
Yeah, we need to remember that these are kids...facing a T-Rex alone. A frickin T-Rex! There isn't anything they can do that deserves blame in this situation.
I agree, another thing is kids handle adrenaline and panic a lot differently than adults do. Therefore they’re not going to think before doing because they feel like they have to make a move fast. I kinda get why people would be mad at Lex but she’s just a scared kid. Besides, Lex and Tim survived two velociraptors in the kitchen by playing it smart. So in perspective, they aren’t stupid.
She’s so difficult to watch but honestly all her kid logic checks out. Why would a kid be level headed in a situation where most grown ups would shit themselves and probably be frozen in place?
10:35, not exactly. Malcolm says "life finds a way". For the movie, it's explained that the frog DNA made it so some dinos could turn male. However, more accurate to Malcolm's statement is that, in the real world, there are species of lizards that lost all males, and instead of some turning into males, the females just 'found a way' through parthenogenesis, which is that they self-fertilize their own eggs and essentially clone themselves. These certain species of lizards have been tested, and each unique species has been found to be exact DNA matches amongst the entire species. Life found a way.
Yeah there's a lot of weird examples of animals changing sex or finding other means of reproduction. But when he said that line in the book it wasn't even about reproduction but about the park failing. Even the lysine contingency fails.
@@Unethical.Dodgson That is very true, Life will find a way to break free from imposed restraints by humans. There is also heavy reliance hinted at, in the film and technology has a tendency to do that on occassions and due to even Nature, or nature of man, as in Nedry. Lysine was another great example. It IS a great film to discuss many levels of.
“The shock with the highest voltage reported survived was that of Harry F. McGrew, who came in contact with a 340,000 volt transmission line in Huntington Canyon, Utah. The severity and lethality of electric shocks generally depend on the duration and the amount of current passing through the human body.“ In other words, whether or not the voltage is lethal depends greatly on the amps, and how long you hold on for. If it’s high volts but low amps, you are much more likely to survive, especially if you aren’t exposed for a long time.
@@toddjones1480 We only know the voltage not the current. I'd imagine the fence wasn't designed to injure the dinosaurs but simply to prevent them from damaging it, so most likely it was a brief pulsing current anyway.
8:21 I love the lines "Looks like we are out of a job. Don't you mean extinct ?" This was something the Go-Motion animator said, after Steven Spielberg decided that all the dinosaurs in the movie would be CGI, instead of Go motion. The Go-motion team ended up using their go-motion puppets as a refference point for the animators, and basically became the "Animal Handlers" of the CGI production team.
I love the fact that the elly and alan are holding the door while also trying to get the gun while timmy over here is watching them instead of walking over and giving them the gun 😮💨
I felt the same way but, with societal hatred of guns, you can't have a child even touch a gun. What kind of message would that send? The anti-gun nuts would freak out.
Even if he had grabbed the gun A.- he’s a child who was busy freaking out and panicking, literally 9 years old and B.- even if he had grabbed the gun one of the adults would have had to move and let go of the door to grab it.
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.
I love the sounds in the movie but boy did they fuck up monumentally with the Dilo. It was close to its actual paleo size in the books and yet it's the size of a dog in the movie. And then it was a tiny fucker again in the last Jurassic World movie. Apex predator of the early jurassic and it's the size of a labrador.
I honestly like the movie dilo better then the book in my opinion…while it is small it doesn’t make it useless in any way…and also its colour scheme and design is…*French Kiss 30X* a masterpiece…and I’ll even say…all of JP1/Jurassic Park 1 Dinosaurs designs are a…*French Kiss 30X* for me atleast!!! (Also I don’t own the book…I have been read it by a family member…especially about the dilo and I have been told it was massive!!!)
I know that there was supposed to be a chase scene with Ray getting killed by the Raptors (not filmed due to weather, I believe), but the reveal with his arm is so much better than I can imagine another chase being.
I rewatched the movie as an adult and Elli's raptor scene caught me so off guard. I remembered the kitchen scene, but that one completely surprised me!!
Lex was panicking with the flashlight cause she's a child who just got abandoned with her brother and giant killing monster, at night! We can see what's going on cause it's a movie, but imagine you're in their place... a tropical island during a hurricane at night with no street lights or anything... plus she was totally in shock so you can't blame her for keeping the light turned on!
Over 30 years later and this movie still looks Spectacular, better than most movies nowadays in my opinion with that beautiful blend of Practical and CGI And fun fact the Velociraptors in this film and books are actually another species call Deinonychus, renamed simply because Velociraptor sounds cooler
Our local cinema showed Jurassic Park last weekend and you bet I went there, even though I have seen the movie sooo many times, but I was only 3y old in 1993 so I wanted to get that opportunity xD
@@MacCheekz1990 I've been meaning to catch a reshowing in theaters, it's Definitely worth the Big Screen but I haven't been keeping up with show times and I don't go to the theater often, the first film I saw in theaters since Covid was Godzilla Minus One
The T-Rex actually had terrifyingly phenomenal eyesight. There were a number of inaccuracies in this film, though it was pretty advanced for the time. I'll list them out just because I wanna type it: All: Dinosaurs likely had lips, covering their teeth, like the raptors did. They also didn't roar, instead producing low pitched rumbles. Think crocodile, or cassowary. Velociraptors: The ones in the film are inspired by the Deinonychus, but they used the name Velociraptor for the 'scary' factor. Real velociraptors are much smaller, and are covered in feathers! Dilophosaurus: Was actually much, much larger. They lacked frills and venom, to our knowledge. Tyrannosaurus: As mentioned, they had super good eyesight. Brachiosaurus: That's a giraffititan they literally did not find a brachiosaurus skull until a year after the movie came out (if I recall correctly) I am looking forward to your reaction to the next movie!!
Though honestly, the movie clears up the plot holes with the idea that they had to add different genes to create viable dino DNA. Plus, as far as I know, nobody IRL has found viable DNA from velociraptor fossils. Dr. Wu and his crew had to figure out what belonged to what. Could be seen as mistaken ID, but they blamed it on the frogs.
Oh boy ... this is going to be a madness! I'm here for it . Hammond is played by the late, great Sir Richard Attenborough, fantastic actor and director in his own right and brother of Sir David Attenborough 😁🇬🇧
It’s bros first time watching everything Edit1 WOW I HAVE NOT EVEN GOTTEN 10 LIKES BEFORE Edit2 thank you guys for 517 likes i have more likes than subs oof
I think he has seen these movies but probably when he was very very young. He probably has a nice life with friends and offline mode, so watching these movies is like a first timer refresher for him. Else, he probably didn’t watch these types of movies lol
This movie alone is 30 years old, which means entire generations are born into circumstances where the opportunity to watch it may never come up, or they may just avoid it because it's "old". Not everyone was alive when these movies came out and had to be living under a rock to miss it. And there's TONS of movies like that, over decades and decades of film. Plus, some people just never really watched that many movies. I've seen channels where I wasn't sure I believed the person saying they hadn't seen a film, but I never got that vibe here.
Everyone picks on Lex for shining the light. As someone who was that age when I first saw the movie, I remember wondering what I would do in a situation like that and thinking I would try to find fire - wild animals are supposed to be afraid of fire, right? In a terrified child's mind, that torch could have been the closest approximation to fire. I admired her for taking action when abandoned by the grownup! Oh well ...
yeah its easy to get mad retrospect, but shes a little girl in a car with a dinosaur after being abandoned. but she does play it smarter later when she saves her brother. her and tim are the best kids of the jurassic park films
People got mad at lex for that? Shit it would be dark as hell of course you're gonna go for the light plus pure adrenaline of being stared at by a monster you're not thinking straight. Ive seen grown adults do much worse with animals
I think people also forget that we as an audience have to be able to see the movie, it's what we're here for - but the characters in world can't. The power is out, it's night, there's a storm - it'd be pitch black. We've already seen Tim using the night vision goggles to see anything. So far as we know, Lex can't see shit, but she knows there's a giant monster out there. And as a kid, what do you do when it's pitch black and you're trying to find the monster in the dark? you turn on the light. I used to be someone who got mad at her until i considered it in an in-world context
That, and two other things: if the existence of dinosaurs was a hoax, it would require both absurd levels of international coordination to maintain *and* an unusual conviction to spending large swaths of the twentieth century getting things hilariously "wrong" and then having to fight to change public conceptions of dinosaurs for decades.
Hey Don! I’m a huge Jurassic fan and I have a recommended list for you: 1. Jurassic Park. 2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park. 3. Jurassic Park 3. 4. Jurassic World. 5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. 6. Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock. 7. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. (All seasons) 8. Jurassic World: Dominion. There’s more but this is the recommended list I have.
21:20 Kids are stupid sometimes bro, think that’s it 😅 The animatronic trex head would often short circuit after rain got in its electrics. People sitting next to it having lunch would randomly jump out of their skins when it would spontaneously move.
3:55 they thought that about the T-Rex at the time, because of the shape of the visual center of the braincase, and plaster castings they've made; being similar to a frogs. But since then this idea has pretty much been tossed. A Rex is NOT a frog, y'know and it's eyes were totally different. A good way to explain it away in this movie, is the frog DNA being incorporated into the genome, and it just accidentally came out that way for THESE mutant "dinosaurs". They're close enough for government work.... but they're just that. close enough, mutated spectacles.
The ending where the Tyrannosaurus Rex just sneaks up and kills one of the raptors is quite possible according to some studies. The Tyrannosaurus was found to have had padding on its feet, which could silence it's footsteps.
Fun fact. This is the first movie ever made with this quality of CGI. When Dr. Malcolm said his line about their jobs being extinct, he was also referencing "Stop/Go Animators" being out of a job -"Extinct".
I have the entire Jurassic park collection, including the extras, which has Steven Spielberg Clearly both showing and stating otherwise. Fact check my friend. @@harleyhart1497
@@harleyhart1497 Actually, they are right. This was a landmark for CGI production. The film had 15 minutes of dinosaurs on screen, 6 of which used CGI. That's 40% of the screen time for the dinosaurs made with CGI.
@@harleyhart1497 What modern directors really need to take note of is that they used a lot of practical effects rather than _just_ CGI, if they were making JP today then odds are good that they would use CG for everything and it wouldn't turn out nearly as well.
I know ppl in their 40's who haven't watched alot of movies, hardly any. They were gamers growing up where as I was a movie fiend. Everyone is different with their hobbies. Also the younger generation especially are more into video games & computers than 30 yr old movies.
i was about say that, im not even from any of english speaking continents, still i have watched almost every sci-fi hollywoods, idk about this guy, was he living under rock or something?
@@BeboRulz Even people who do watch films will often watch new films as they come out but not go back to films released in many cases before they were even born.
pretty much the reason why the girl grabbed the big flashlight and turned it on wasn't to have better vision but to signal grant and malcolm in the other car, she just didn't know that it would attract the t-rex
17:50 Ian saying "I love kids" feels sorta flip when he first says it but as soon as he gets the idea of using flares to distract the rex, he absolutely puts his body on the line to lead Rexy away from Lex and Tim. There's plenty of evidence that he's not a great *person* but he's not lying about liking children.
41:06 First reactor I've seen notice, or at least comment on, what amazing CGI this movie had, and in 1993 no less. Interesting, fun and cogent commentary on this groundbreaking movie -- just earned yourself another subscribe. Thanks for posting man.
Did you know that the T-Rex's roar is the combination of the sounds of a Tiger, Alligator and Elephant. Also Nedry's death in the book is more violent and gruesome than his death in the movie
just fyi .. Velociraptor was a small bipedal probably pack hunter .. bit larger than knee hight .. the claw used in the beginning and what the "velociraptors" of the movie are based on are the utaraptors, but those would be able to look you in the eyes and hunted solo or in pairs (has been ages since I've last read a paper on utaraptors so ..) and they would have looked a lot different and most of the bipedal dinos would have had feathers or some sort of feather like fuzz .. except for the T-Rex who only seemed to have more lips (and maybe some fuzz in the head/neck region) .. but most of those discoveries or fossils, like skin impressions of dinos etc were only made in the last 20 years or so oh .. and they actualy found a moskito with dinosaur blood in amber ^^ but no DNA or RNA survived
I still find it interesting that Dennis Nedry turned off all the power of the park, EXCEPT the raptor enclosure. Even he knew how dangerous the raptors were
I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out. They were using a technology called "Surround Sound". Not only did you hear those ominous footsteps of the T-Rex, you could FEEL the entire theater shaking with every step.
7:10 The largest animals in nearly every biome are vegetarians. Moose, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, etc. Even the largest primates like Gorillas are mostly vegetarians. So not too strange for it to be the case with dinosaurs too.
Fun fact: the sceen where the trex pushes down the glass and the kids are screaming , was actual fear from the kids , the robot malfunction and webt furthere than it should have been and the kids were terrified
This movie was filmed on Kauai. The storm sequence was Hurricane Iniki. Stephen Spielberg paid people to film the disaster as it happened. The Hurricane even shut down production for a bit.
The build up to the T-Rex scene is impeccable. The tension and then the actual terror at being face to face with that thing. The way it is filmed, is just so good. This was insane in the theater. And it's always fun watching people who don't know watch this movie. Because it starts out fairly happy, you forget that opening scene. Yay dinosaurs, and then sheer terror and death for the rest of the movie.
You do need to watch them in order according to the year they came out. Please watch them all, they are great movies and I personally love them. I think you will enjoy all of them. Please enjoy this series, and thank you for putting out incredible content!
Ngl when you brought up the thing about starting the park with just a few, simple dinosaurs and then progressing the park bit by bit, that was real entrepreneur shit. Respect.
another reason I love spielberg: he does the theater kid thing and adds blue lighting to night scenes just so we could see what was happening easier. Realistically, the characters in the movie are in the same pitch darkness that comes with night storms, there was probably only brief flashes of light from the lightning that could've showed the t-rex. I've hated it recently when films are just too dark to see unless you're in the dark, otherwise I'm stuck looking at a kinda black screen with my face doing this -.-
Fun Fact: When this came out in '93, we just all accepted the "science" b/c there was no internet. We were not going to a library to research it. We just went to be entertained. Btw, I enjoyed watching this 'with you'.
17:30, there is a bit cut out that most people don't know about as it is only shown in the rare event to fill extra time on TV, Satler looking at the Lilac, the stones, and the poop, she figures out by finding some of the berries in the poop and the smooth stones what is happening is the Tric is regurgitating the stones, grabbing and swallowing new rough ones while accidentally swallowing lilac berries. The stones are gizzard stones, which it uses to help grind up the food more. This is a thing birds do, because they have a gizzard. But this is why she keeps getting sick every 6 weeks, which is left out of the standard watching.
I love this reaction! Its hilarious, I always said I dunno why Tim was just standing there and didn't pass them the gun 🤣🤣🤣. The raptors are terrifying, imagine watching this as a child
Birds which are descendants of dinosaurs, have been known to lay fertilized eggs in the absence of a male and produce offspring. The condors in the US have done that. You can read some articles about it if you want to.
In a pinch yes. But it's not a feasible long-term solution since every subsequent "clone" will be less viable than the previous one. Eventually, they'll need to mate with males again
Fun fact: my mom has a friend named Silvia who used to work as an Au Pair Girl for Bob Peck (the actor who plays the hunter Robert Muldoon) in the 90s. She says that his family was lovely and he was a gentleman. RIP Bob Peck, you were a great actor 💖
6:50 "oh, the LEAF shouldn't be here" Okay, so for years I thought I had confabulated a memory of this movie, because as a child in 1993 I saw (probably) an advanced screening of this movie with an insert shot of Ellie noticing something about the plants as they drive through the foliage and snatching that leaf as they pass by. It's not in the home video or theatrical re-releases of the film. I can't describe the sense of vindication I felt when I one day stumbled upon a youtube video of the sequence that included the shot. I probably sent a screengrab to everyone I knew.
25:00 se essa morte do Nedry assustou o Don, imagina se ele lesse o livro. No livro, o Dilofossauro media mais de 7 metros (um tamanho mais aproximado do verdadeiro). Quando o Nedry teve seu primeiro encontro com ele, ele tava no matagal e ouviu o pio de uma coruja (que no caso era o som do Dilofossauro), saiu correndo de volta até o carro, mas o Dilofossauro cortou caminho pela mata e chegou no carro antes dele, impedindo-o de correr ate o carro e entrar rapidamente, mas de tanto ele esperar pra agir, o Dilofossauro cuspiu veneno a distância na cara dele, deixando Nedry cego e agoniado. O Dilofossauro se aproximou de Nedry e rasgou sua barriga, deixando seu intestino delgado e intestino grosso expostos pra fora e o Nedry sentiu os próprios orgaos nas mãos. Depois o Dilofossauro segurou o Nedry ainda vivo pela cabeça e o ergueu no ar e o Nedry so conseguia pensar algo como "alguém me livra desse sofrimento". Capítulos mais tarde, o corpo dele foi achado por Muldoon e Gennaro e o Muldoon até fala que "ainda ha justiça nesse mundo" porque achou merecido o que o Nedry sofreu Edit: esqueci de dizer que o próprio ator que interpreta o Nedry, Wayne Knight, já admitiu que a morte do personagem no filme foi tosca e acha a do livro melhor
Something I noticed in the movie: The reason why Nedry had gotten spit on, is because he flipped his hood up. Which the Dilophosaurus had taken as a sign of aggression. Kind of like when a cobra spreads its hood open when it feels threatened to ward off predators.
I love watching people react to this movie. When they first see the dinosaurs everyone always has the same look of awe on their faces that I had as a child. The shots hold up, the music soars. Never grows old. ❤
I still think that this movie is better than its modern counter part due to its good use of practical and special effects, especially in the close-up shoots and interaction with the prop and actors. Just look at your reaction to this movie, you actually feel scared for the characters because it feels real since they use practical effects using robot dinosaurs. Wish they would still make a movie with the same quality as this in terms of practical and special effects, and not just a CGI fest.
Fun facts: The raptors in this movie more closely resemble deinonychus in size. Actual velociraptors weren't even a meter tall. In real life, female komodo dragons are capable of not only asexually reproducing in the absence of males, but will give birth to sexually viable males to replenish the population.
The Jurassic Park velociraptors are actually Utahraptors according to paleontologists. The real velociraptors were much much smaller than what they portray in the movies.
This movie was so epic I saw it 6 times in theaters as a kid, with different people every time. It was a brilliant use of CGI and animatronics which is a lost art. Literally feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples is a cinematic experience you can never forget...brilliant.
Your channel popped up on my suggestions today. This is your first video I've seen, but it won't be my last! Your reactions are so funny and I truly enjoyed watching along with you! If anyone needs me for the rest of the day, I'll be binging your content! Definitely subscribing! ❤
To give the directors credit, they used the most accurate information they had at the time of filming in 1993, with the minor details about the velociraptor actually being based on a utarraptor. But now we know a lot more information about the T-rex specifically
6:31 This was a bit of foreshadowing, he took two female ends and found a way to make it work, later on in the movie, when the raptors escape, they found a way to procreate and breed even though they’re all female.
I love watching and listening to the people watching The Jurassic Park for the first time :)))))))) I'm old enough to had been watching it as a premiere at cinemas, since then - one of my favourite films ever. I also envy people watching it for the first time. You are the best first time viewer and reacting person !
28:45 - To be fair, during the initial investigation phase, they wouldn't know what dinosaur they had DNA from until they made the first one from each mosquito, but in terms of production to fill the park, you have a valid point.
With regards to the light, I think Lex was trying to signal the other car for help after the lawyer ran away. They had seen the T-Rex first and were scared. Remember that Lexie was about 13 in this, and Tim about 10. (In the book their ages were swapped). Panicking kids aren't going to think clearly, they just wanted help. The light was their only signal source. Also, Lex screaming "GO AWAY!" at the Brontosaurus is *perfectly* understandable, she's just been through *trauma*. Have a heart for the kid, huh?
I mean they are basically extinct animals and we just call them Dinosaurs. A lot of animals today are slowly going extinct and eventually people in the future might think they never existed in the first place. We still got a living breathing dinosaur and they live in rivers, ponds and streams. Crocs and gators
