10 Amazing Facts About Jurassic Park

[@adamjlozano2454]

This is my second favorite movie of all time with out a doubt. The writing the directing the acting and the special effects come together perfectly. The effects still holds up to this day 30 years later. I love everything this movie. It a classic for a reason.

[@odysseusrex5908]

For me, the most significant difference between book and movie is that, in the book, Alex is only five years old and can't really do anything but scream in terror, usually at the most inopportune of times. In the movie, of course, she is teenaged with computer skills, allowing her to be appropriately panic stricken in the right places, but also play a crucial role in saving everybody at the movie's climax. Also, her obvious crush on Dr. Grant is adorable. There is also a small subplot in the book about Tim's rocky relationship with his father. His father likes sports, and thinks all boys should like sports, and is dismissive of Tim's interest in dinosaurs. Tim is shown as being more knowledgeable, and more mature, than he is in the movie. There is a scene, told in flashback, where the father has grudgingly taken Tim to a natural history museum to see the dinosaur exhibit. Tim spots an error in how the T-Rex skeleton has been reconstructed. His father disparages him for for trying to comment on something he can't possibly know about. He seeks to put him down further by asking a museum guide about it, only to be told that that Tim is correct, the museum has been meaning to correct the error, but just hasn't gotten around to it yet. I like that bit.

Still amazing now even after all these years, still looks great and looks better than most movies out today

[@The_Texorcist]

I have fond memories of Jurassic Park. I remember seeing it when it first came out in theaters when i was 12 years old. While there had been CG in movies before this had not been done to the level of JP which along with the great mix of practical effects easily made my 12 year old mind suspend disbelief. It was a perfect mix of humor, horror, adventure and the childlike sensibility Stephen Spielberg puts on some of his films.

[@The_Texorcist]

Another great 10 facts. Jurassic Park came out right at the right time for me. I was 11 when it came out and it was the perfect mix of adventure, comedy and horror. I remember the games (which I still occasionally play the Genesis version), the toys and those "collectable" cups from McDonalds. Possibly its driven by nostalgia but I still prefer Jurassic Park over all the sequels. There is a childhood innocence to some of the scenes which the characters shock of seeing dinosaurs is mirrored in the audience. Also sexy Goldblum.

My favourite scene in this is when they try to get the kids out of the car, when the t-rex attacks, the car is in the tree, so they climb out of the car and down the tree... "Well at least we're out of the tree." "Yes, but we're back in the car.." Brilliant.

[@CONSOLETRUTH2]

is probably one of the worst scenes for continuity to considering the fact that at the start of that scene UC to go there you see the T-Rex right there right by the wall right by the fence and his knee but then the T-Rex pushes the Jeep past the wall and it drops for some 40 ft to the ground below.

something that never ceases to bother me: when they're in the bunker and Hammond says all major theme parks have delays, he says "When Disneyland opened in 1956..." Disneyland opened in 1955.

[@lunarose698]

[@kevinarmstrong9034]

One fact missed between Jurassic Park & Schindler's List is the music score for both films ( directed by Steven Spielberg) was composed by renowned legend John Williams

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

He should have been Oscar-nominated for both movies, just like he was in 1995 ("Sabrina," "Nixon"), in 2001 ("A.I. Artificial Intelligence," "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"), in 2005 ("Munich," "Memoirs of a Geisha"), and in 2011 ("War Horse," "The Adventures of Tin Tin"). He only got the Oscar nod for "Schindler's List" in 1993.

I love the jp books. They are so completely different from the films where I consider the two canons completely and utterly unconnected to each other, aside from a few points, names, etc. The novel canon is GREAT. I prefer the lost world over the first novel by far.

[@Baysidemom2]

I love how the books completely retcon themselves because Ian Malcolm dies from his injuries in the first book but Crichton was forced to bring him back to life so he could be in the second movie because his character was so popular 😂

[@stogieguy7201]

Still love this movie! Like many kids I was amazed by dinosaurs and when this movie came out I was in awe as I sat in the theater. Never have dinosaurs come to life on the big screen like this before and it was a great story as well. I still get chills watching this and hope it never fades.

[@Turtle152]

Saw it at the theater 6 times. I still remember they would change the reel just as Grant was getting ready to climb the tree and rescue Tim. You have to see a movie quite a few times to get a detail like that stuck in your brain.

[@matthewalexanderlemma8000]

An interesting fact about Richard Attenborough accepting the role of John Hammond is that he did so as a favor to Steven Spielberg because he felt so bad about "Gandhi," his directed film, winning the Oscar for Best Picture over Spielberg's "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial" in 1982.

[@HankTheTank1988]

What I really love about it is that is used all the different technologies. Not just CGI and that was sparingly. You can almost be certain if another movie was made say today on the mix it too would do well

[@riaranta3150]

[@Riceball01]

A minor correction regarding the use of CG in the film. Spielberg didn't choose CG out of necessity, he chose it because ILM, one of the 3 major effects houses on the film, approached him with the idea of using CG and Spielberg was convinced after seeing some of their tests. In the end, the CG was a collaboration between Tippett's stop motion people and ILM; ILM created the dinosaur models and did all of the technical stuff like lighting, texturing, and compositing while Tippett's people did the animation using specially created interfaces that mimicked a stop motion puppet armature. One other thing, the "robots" used in the movie are more properly animatronics, just like the things you see in many theme parks. But I suppose that's mostly a matter of semantics.

[@jeffyk99]

I believe this was the first theatrical movie that introduced DTS digital sound. Which was true 5.1 digital surround system. I remember watching this in the theaters and the sound was awesome. I think Dolby digital was released the year before with Batman Returns but this movie really started the popularity of digital surround sound.

The movie wasn't filmed entirely on Kauai. Oahu and Maui were also filming locations, as well as Universal Studios in California for the indoor scenes as well as a few outside scenes. Hurricane Iniki was actually shown in the movie. While the cast and crew were sheltering in their hotel, they decided to get some footage of the storm. Some of this ended up being used in the movie. Specifically the scene where the waves are hitting the rock jetty with the little concrete building. That's the real storm. Interestingly, that jetty is literally at the entrance to the harbor used in TLW for the scene when the group are talking to the boat captain and his son before embarking onto Isla Sorna. Lots of the locations from the movies overlap like that. The river they filmed the boat scenes in JP3 on is close to the little town they used to represent Costa Rica and the little restaurant Dodgson meets Nedry at. I've been to several of the filming locations. The concrete supports posts that held up the main gate are still there. That location was deep in the jungle on Kauai, and requires a 4X4 vehicle to get to, unless you want a long, potentially dangerous walk (during the wet seasons flash floods have killed people there when they were caught unaware.) The T-Rex fence/paddock scene was located a few miles down from the gate location, but it's actually at the bottom of a canyon, and requires gear and a guide to get to, unless you're suicidal. After seeing the jungle firsthand, it must have been an enormous undertaking to get the cast, crew and props in there. Some of the locations are on public land (main gate, for example.) Some are located within preserves or garden areas and require paying an entrance fee to see (like the tree where Grant finds the raptor egg.) The area where the VC external facade was built is private land that is rented out for events but you can gain access to it if you ask nicely and well in advance and it doesn't conflict with a previous rental. And some are on private property and you cannot get access to no matter what (opening Brachio scene. The producers had to pay a considerable sum to the property owner just to film there.) The breakdown of locations are thus: Main gate, Jurassic Falls/Helicopter landing/Brachio scene, T-Rex paddock (day), Perimeter fence scene, Nedry/Dodgson meeting, VC external building, Raptor Pen, Grant discovering raptor egg, jetty = Kauai First look at the island from the helicopter, open field/Gallimimus stampede & T-Rex attack = Oahu All interiors, T-Rex paddock (night), a few random outdoor shoots = Universal Studios Offhand, I don't remember the scene that was shot on Maui, but it was only a single minor one. The location of the sick Triceratops scene is unknown, publicly. It could've been on location, but it could've been at Universal Studios.

You know its funny...I worked for a little twin cinema in 1993 in Athens, TN. USA, I was given the role of promoting the movie...I was only 23 then. I went all out...I even built the entrance to the park in front of the theater. I promoted the opening 6 weeks earlier...stating "The Park Was Open" On June 3rd! I made a hand drawn mural on the theaters wall and when the movie opened...it sold out for 17 straight weeks...either way the point of the post is that the movie distributor made a contest for the best promotion for the film. Our Cinema won 1st place out of EVERY OTHER CINEMA IN THE WORLD! We were only a twin cinema with Carmike Cinemas backing. I won some cool shit...My son to this day still plays with the props I won. However...The mural was purchased by Disney whom was sponsoring a new school...They paid $13.000 for it and I never knew until years later...The theater Manager was on his death bed when he told me...I don't know if its a fact but I do know the mural was in a Disney purchased school in Lakeland Florida, when I enquired about it...they said it was purchased from Glen Thornton, my Manager at the time...even though my signature was clearly on the mural. Wow! Either way...I have pics to prove it and It was my best work which made the studio and my manager at the time richer....MUST GO FASTER!
