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.

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.

The part with the seatbelt is one of my favorite gimmicks most people didn't get.

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.

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.

“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.

[@zammmerjammer]

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.

[@zammmerjammer]

@@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.*

"Only for the weekend, too....what have you got to lose?" Several limbs, at least.

[@Laarye]

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.

It IS a great film to discuss many levels of.

[@andrejuarez]

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.

[@blanketstarry7725]

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.

[@ShadowStorm1331]

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.

[@daphneglasurus7886]

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?

[@Enthymene]

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.

[@katherinetressler1508]

In the second movie, we even find out that Ian has a daughter who he loves and adopted when she was a small child (she was either a teen or a preteen in the movie but I can't remember too well), he does have an occasional mess up but every parent does. I think his parental instincts kicked in when he learned that the flares can and will distract the T-Rex. Not a great person, but a great parent.

"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.

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.

[@Unethical.Dodgson]

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.

[@funtimefreddygamingz2364]

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!!!

[@cosmicglowsticks]

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!!

[@MC-zr6gc]

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.

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

[@mycroft16]

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.

[@josephallen1695]

Fun fact: if you haven't seen them, Samuel L. Jackson is also in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

[@kaalesrex2933]

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

[@ginoborrero2222]

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

[@chauser400]

And they actually found Nedry’s body in the book.

[@statrosapristina]

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 💖

[@Pridam]

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

It's weird how basically every movie is his first but the reactions r really fun

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.

Dinosaurs are real and most of us see them every day. Birds are the last survivors of the dinosaur lineage, but they are dinosaurs.

[@Laarye]

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.

[@scottb3034]

Here's a fact you won't see anyone write about the movie: In the scene where Dennis Nedry dies, the actor is made up with a purple goop on his face. After the scene was shot the purple goop stained his face and would not come off. At the time Wayne Knight--the actor--was also working on the American sitcom Seinfeld, Wayne had a panic attack on set because he was afraid he'd be fired from Seinfeld because his face was stained. Evidently it worked out just fine as he was a recurring character on the show for the rest of its run through 1998.

[@juquanwillis3267]

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!

You should listen to what a t-Rex might’ve actually sounded like. Whole lot more terrifying than what they had in the movies

[@CourtneyAndBooks]

There is actually something called "terror bird" which legit was like a giant turkey and it was an apex predator in its time at about 10 ft. tall.

[@amyramirez2011]

I really love how older movies like these put in the effort to make the "monsters"

[@SherriLyle80s]

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.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

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

[@claudettesmith8328]

You should definitely continue with the whole series of these films.

20:40 wait until he learns that is was a real animatronic for most of the shots

[@Lembranca_do_Finn.Mertens]

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

[@gracieb.3054]

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'.

I saw this film in the theater 3 times. It was an awesome experience. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

[@jbp9653]

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.

[@pizzacough4555]

This is the movie that started my life path from childhood (I was 7 years old when I saw it in the theaters) till adulthood (I'm a paleontologist). I'm so excited that you're watching this movie and I hope you enjoy the movie greatly!

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.

[@CallmetheDangler]

The Jurassic Park velociraptors are actually Utahraptors according to paleontologists. The real velociraptors were much much smaller than what they portray in the movies.

[@Enthymene]

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.

[@SUB-ZERO-414]

There’s not an opinion that matters when dinosaurs being real is fact 🤦‍♂️

[@greatBLT]

True, but there are people who think dinosaurs were around only a couple of thousand years ago and hung out with Adam and Eve

[@kylebeggs3845]

So a couple of cool insight things: 1. The movement thing with the Trex is due to the frog DNA they used to complete the code to make the dinosaurs. 2. The scene at the beginning of the movie where Grant has trouble buckling is foreshadowing of what happens in the movie. He has two female ends of the seat buckled which makes them incompatible to mate. Like the dinosaurs. However, Grant just ties them together making them work… life finds a way as it does when Grant and the kids find those eggs. 3. The scene with the Trex in the car was legit screams of terror from the kids. The water used to make the rain during the scene caused the robot head of the Trex to malfunction and make unpredictable movements. The kids legit thought they were going to die. 4. The Dino used as raptors are a real Dino but aren’t raptors. Real raptors are like 2 feet tall.

Funny how you went looking for answers when the boy got shocked. The thing is the 50.000 v don't matter, it depends on how conductive the wire is. Also, if I understood this correctly, his feet are off the ground and the wire he's touching has the same potential, so no current would be passing through his body. What probably happened was just a static discharge, like the smaller scale ones you can receive when you pass between two metal columns or touch a car or some other conductive surface or even another person. If he had his feet on the ground tho, probably would have been a different story

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.
