I haven read the novel myself, but as far as I heard, it goes into more detail on this.

@@DrArchivist Nedry underbid for the job, and Hammond was simply a tightwad who went with the lowest bidder. Hammond actually was an even bigger jerk in the book, because he didn't tell Nedry the full scope of the project, and continued piling more and more work on that was outside the scope of what he was originally hired to do, and was essentially doing the job of an entire IT staff by himself because Hammond refused to spend money (he only "spared no expense" on the customer-facing amenities, not any of the technology required to actually run the Park, which is one of its major flaws). Nedry had VERY legitimate grievances that were largely excised from the film because they decided to make Hammond more sympathetic.

6:00 - You should have seen that first dinosaur on a theater screen, it was REALLY impressive back in 1993! It still looks great today, but seeing it on a big screen was amazing. The cast and crew really were scared of the T-Rex. They built a full-sized animatronic one for the closeups where it interacted with the actors. It was covered in foam-latex skin, which soaked up the water and made it even heavier and harder to control. Considering that it weighed 12 tons and was prone to shaking and unexpected jerkiness, they really didn't like being near it. Even when it was working properly, it could hurt people if they accidentally got in its way. Also, it's said that the roof of the car wasn't supposed to get pushed in like that, so when it happened, the screams of terror from the kids were real. Now that you've seen the entire movie, do you still want to go there for a vacation? :)

[@joost1120]

The part about the car roof isn't true though. It was supposed to break through. This is a misconception coming from a quote of one of the kids, but it's misinterpreted. The T-Rex hit the plexiglass too hard and broke one of it's teeth. It was always supposed to break the glass. Just look at the scenes directly before it. T-Rex looked at the kids through that glass, followed by another scene of the kids trying to turn off the flashlights. It was set up to break through, otherwise it would've just bumped the roof. That wouldn't really be a good scene, especially not with the buildup.

[@HumorousLOL]

One of the most legendary movies ever made. The special effects in this film still rivals anything made today, and despite a few flaws, still holds up. I also wouldn't call it a family film exactly, since it was rated PG-13. Many kids did see it though, and the violence in the movie was pretty mild for a film about huge, predatory, avian killing machines.

During the T-rex scene, the screams and crying of many children filled the theater. At the beginning of the movie, it was a packed house...by the end credits, about half of the audience had gone. Lesson: If the movie is rated PG-13, don't take kids under 13 to watch it.

[@brianrecinos3914]

15:51: Nedry shut off the security system for two reasons: the first is to disable both the access to the cryo chamber where the different dinosaur DNAs are kept and the surveillance cameras that guard it. The second is to shut off the automatic system that powers the gates, so that the gates he goes through leads to the docks without him having to stop where his contact is waiting for him at the dock. When Nedry said he had an 18 minute window, that means he only has 18 minutes to steal the embryos and make it to the docks while the system is down and before the 3 men find out what he's doing. To answer your question about if he cares about the dinosaurs running around that'll eventually kill people, you know that answer because his reason was for money. The scene where he was having lunch with the contact in glasses, he said this: " Don't get cheap on me, Dodgeson. That was Hammond's mistake".

[@brianrecinos3914]

It is because the raptor pen was not along the route that Nedry had to take on the way to the docks. The raptor pen has its own separate area, presumably away from the path intended for tourists. There are two scenes that confirms this. The first was back in the control room, when the power for the gates began shutting down. Muldoon said "The raptor fences aren't out, are they?" Samuel L. Jackson: "No, they're still operating ". Hammond: " Why the hell would he turn the other ones off?" The second was during Muldoon and Ellie's walk towards the power shed after Hammond ordered a complete system shutdown to erase Nedry's damage on their system. When they got near the raptors' pen, Muldoon said " The system shutdown must've turned off all the fences. Jesus, even Nedry knew better than to mess with the raptor fence".

[@houdin654jeff]

Jurassic Park was shot largely on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, so it’s visitable, just without the dinosaurs. The CG is actually pretty sparingly used compared to modern movies, there are about 50 shots that have computer generated effects (for reference, the first Lord of the Rings has over 500). A lot of the dinos are actually puppets or animatronics, like the sick Triceratops and the full sized T. Rex. The only CG shots of the Rex are the ones where it is walking or running… or eating the lawyer.

There's nothing better than seeing someone come in to this movie thinking it's a cute, fun movie for kids and then realizing it's a horror film in disguise. 😂

[@CMT_-tt4iv]

I love what Spielberg did in this scene where they see the dinosaurs for the first time. He knows that the senses of wonder that the characters feel will be mirrored by the audience. In the film it’s the chock of seeing a live dinosaur. For us watching the movie it was knowing that we were seeing something that would change cinema forever.

Everything about that scene is so well constructed. My favorite bit of it is when the T-Rex eats Gennaro. It was full screen and highly visible without cutting away, and a seamless interaction between the practical and computer generated elements. Everyone wondered just how far this big PG-13 Spielberg movie would go with showing the violence, following his extremely kid-friendly "Hook" and overall toning down after "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." The audience practically cheered at the sneak preview showing I attended. This movie was just about the first time audiences started to really care about the advances in theater sound quality.

The frogs changing sex thing is true. Clownfish, wrasses, moray eels, gobies and other fish species are also known to change sex.

[@BlunderMunchkin]

Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but the species that can change sex are only ones that reproduce through external insemination. They release clouds of gametes into the water. Thus it's much simpler for them to change sex because all they have to change is the type of gamete they release; no internal anatomical changes need occur. So it's not really going to work with dinosaurs.

[@TheJabbate1]

Also, large monitor lizards like the Komodo Dragons can have a small chance of males hatching from unfertilized eggs. Life finds a way.

[@adrianrocha49]

Actually, clown fish are a little bit different. They are kind of the opposite of Jurassic Park dinosaurs, all clown fish are born male, they become female later on in order to reproduce.

Dasha, you're reactions are incredibly sweet and entertaining. Thank you for allowing us to spend some very enjoyable time with you. 😊

[@HumorousLOL]

The story behind Nedry is interesting. Basically, Nedry and Hammon have a clash in agreement in regards to pay. Nedry believes he should be paid more than he currently gets, mostly because he is having financial issues. Hammond refuses, because he believes he is paying him fairly, and doesn't think he should be responsible for Nedry's financial problems. Nedry is frustrated by this, and agrees to steal dinosaur embryos from the park for a rival corporation in exchange for a huge sum of money. To do this, he needs to digitally deactivate the locks and electric fences and escape the park with the embryos. He is also the only one who can restore the status of the locks. Unfortunately, this also creates problems for everyone else, as the lack of electric current allows the dinosaurs to escape their enclosures. Nedry's dilema is the entire reason this movie exists.

[@ryanhodin5014]

In other words, if Hammond had actually spared no expense and either paid Nedry more or hired better IT contractors who don't have only one person able to administrate an entire park's technology, the movie wouldn't exist. Ironic...

[@garyballard179]

Of course, Nedry bid for the contract. He chose his pay rate, so that's entirely on him. Hammond wouldn't have any idea what the true value of an IT person would be, so if Nedry said he could get the job done at that pay rate, that must be an acceptable rate.

The writer of the novel Jurassic Park was well known for his sort of technology-horror themes in his novels, and jurassic park was no exception. Kind of a fun all-ages appeal idea, dinosaurs brought to life, but the reality turns out much like a monster horror. It's a brilliant blend of ideas :) . You'll want to try the sequel 'The Lost World'. It's very different tonally but it's more of the same quality movie magic.

Michael Crichton (R.I.P.) had a big chunk of his books made into films, the most successful and popular being Jurassic Park and Lost World. My top favorite book is _The Andromeda Strain_ (1969) which he made into film later in 1971.

The constant switch from CG to robots probably helped to fools ours eyes to see them as real.

[@nathanielseymour8108]

@@ghyslainabel Very true! The animatronic T-rex's skin would soak up water and they'd have to dry him off between takes. Some of the final shots were initially mistakes that happened to look good on film.

[@namco003]

It's impossible for people to wrap their head around how we felt, when seeing this in the theater/cinema back in 1993. CG was very rarely used(I would say, less than 10 movies in 15 years), and audiences didn't know what CG was. I thought it was elaborate claymation/stop motion animation. The trailer, prior to the movie release, never showed any CG footage, because it was still being worked on, up until a few weeks before the summer movie release. It was maybe two years before I saw a behind the scenes, and learned how it was done. Still my favorite BTS to watch once in a while.

[@merlinsmusings]

Definitely a horror movie. I was a wee little kid when it came out, and we went to see it in theaters. The moment that goat leg crashed onto the car roof? My first jump scare, and I have never lived down being a jumper ever since. It was particularly hilarious because I had a box of candies in hand at the time, and when I jumped, the box stayed in my hand, but the candies sailed waaaaay across the theater! My mother loves talking about how I was so into dinosaurs at the time, so, when my grandmother gave me a toy horse, I said all the polite thank you's and promptly put the horse at the bottom of my dinosaur-riddled box of toys. But after seeing this movie, I apparently went, dug the horse up from the bottom, and hugged it to me because it wasn't something that wanted to eat me.

It is an adventure film with terror elements and dark humor.

[@devilsthadvocate2002]

I graduated (from a small private school) the year this came out.... After our last day, a group of my classmates and I all went to see this movie and sat in the very front row... In the scene where they finally get the power turned back on, I *totally* saw the jump scare coming and was determined to not get startled.... But what I didn't see coming was the fact that, because we were in the front row, we were all leaned way back in our seats with our legs straight out in front of us and being taller than the girl sitting next to me, her leg was underneath mine... and she, apparently, did NOT see the jump scare coming. She screamed, jumped and kicked the back of my leg.... I expected the jumpscare and scream, but I did not expect a kick so I jumped and screamed...and nobody expected a jump and a scream so long after the dinosaur appeared and the chain reaction continued well after what was on screen was no longer scary, so suddenly we were all laughing realizing that everyone else in the theater had no idea why we were all still jumping and screaming! 🤣

I can't deal with the Daystar burning down at me all day lol Also, foreshadowing in the movie: When Dr. Grant ties the two female ends of his seatbelt together in the chopper to 'make it work', he definitely 'found a way', just like the female dinosaurs did :P The T-rex animatronic head they used in that first scene where they're stopped at the fence wasn't supposed to bust through the top of the car, but it did accidentally and terrified the kids, which ended up being a much better scene so they kept it in :P T-rex's also don't roar like that. Large mammals roar. Reptiles *vibrate* . The real T-rex 'roar' would have been a very low frequency rumble that you would FEEL more than you would hear, and ultimately is probably more terrifying. It's also been disproven that T-rex vision was based on movement :P

I saw this movie at midnight on opening day. The whole way home I was checking my rear view mirror for dinosaurs.

[@kaojinn]

My favorite underlying theme in this movie that I didnt catch until someone else pointed it out, was John Hammond's constant catch phrase of "Spared no expense!". Insisting that he bought nothing but the best, but he was cutting corners in all of the crucial areas. An island full of wild animals, and hes got a skeleton crew of 1 ranger, 1 programmer, and 1 operations guy? Nedry was bitching about money, and was susceptible to being bribed, so he was either just a scumbag, or he was just a regular guy who wasnt being paid well. I like to imagine that Nedry joined up because he liked the idea of what John was trying to do, and then was overworked and grew to resent him. Not trying to defend Nedry, just saying I can see how someone would get to the point he did. Still, what he did basically amounts to murder. Everyone loves a good "fuck this, I'm out" revenge quitting a job story, but you dont set the building on fire with the crew locked inside. And you shouldnt set the building on fire at all!

Just few clarifications. Denis Nedry (guy who stole embrions) was in no relation with Hammond he just said "thanks dad" because Hammond lectured around stuff. Also you would surprised how much of those were practical effects. For example hatching of the eggs or Tricerapots that was sick and attack of Tironosaurus on car with kids was also animatronic not cgi and lots of those smaller dinosaur's were also practical ones and even some Brachosaurus (one huge ones that were mostly cgi) but several scenes when you see their legs stomping were animatronix. Also I did watched this movie when it was out around 1993-1994 with my mother and I was around 12-13 and I so loved the movie that I could not wait to get book that movie was based on.

@@silkwesir1444 Sarcasm of that kind requires some experience of it. Even in the west some cultural heritages regard parents/elders with too much respect to talk in such a disrespectful way to their face - and in Asia it would be unthinkable in most cultures that I have read anything into (admittedly a very skindeep reading). So that sort of sarcastic "thanks Dad" remark probably would go over the head of many people simply because of that cultural gulf - for myself I've only ever seen it in American media and never in my own personal experience.

There’s actually another KZbinr who does film analysis who dissected Jurassic Park in its presentation, film style, etc and concluded that the movie is actually a horror story that Spielberg creatively packaged as an “adventure/thriller”.

But it still has all the elements of horror. 🤷‍♀️

Jurassic Park was the first film to integrate computer generated and animatronic dinosaurs seamlessly into live action scenes. Prior to CGI, Integrating dinosaurs with live action meant animatronics, guys in costumes, reptiles in make up, or stop motion animation models. Some stop motion animators were so artistically talented, comparing CGI to their stop motion is like comparing a photograph to a painting. My personal favorite stop animation effects artist is Ray Harryhausen. His dinosaur work includes: "One Million Years B.C. (1966), "The Valley of Gwangi" (1969), & "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" (1953).

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and every day objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex (known by fans as Rexy) was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), lion sounds 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's chest cavity roar and a male dolphin's mating scream recorded with a hydrophone, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey calls, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat. And yes, that Raptor popping up right behind Ellie is always a major jumpscare...especially for me with my autism and anxiety.
