Looking Back at 20 Years of The Lost World: Jurassic Park - Underrated Film Sequel

Here I go into detail about the 1997 smash hit The Lost World: Jurassic Park. This isn't a movie review or anything of the sort and really just a discussion and celebration of a movie I've loved for 20 years now. Now a review for this film I HIGHLY recommend is Chris Stuckmann's who'll link down below.
• The Lost World: Jurass...
Jurassic Park Remix by GANGKREW
The Lost World Jurassic Park is a film that devles into Ian Malcolm Chaos Theory and takes place on Jurassic Park Site B. A great tag for this video would be Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Sorna because it usually works. One of the best things about this film are the Jeff Goldblum quotes Jurassic Park. But seriously its an underrated film sequel and honestly one of the better sequels in the franchise. Who could forget the epic line of Mommy's Very Angry? Or the dude that shocked the compy, the lost world dieter. One cool thing to see in a future film would be Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Nick Van Owen, but that shit will never happen. All this stuff is on Ingen Site B or Jurassic Park Site B whatever you wanna call it. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is epic, I love it. Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park you're amazing.

[@phoenixheart79]

You know, I never considered Ian's daughter could be adopted - I just assumed her mother was black and she inherited more of her mother's skin tone, which is not unheard of.

[@alexgman1988]

C M I’m currently watching this video on the big tv, and brought it up on my phone just to make the same comment you did. It never occurred to me that she was adopted until about 3 minutes ago. I just assumed her mother was black and went with it.

[@joebob4218]

Same

[@zzzombie888]

I was gonna point that little biological tid bit out too lol

[@bigjosh0819]

Could be or just adopted.

[@indianawhitford3145]

I was more or less like wait....jeff goldblums white, i always thought he was mixed.

[@Bastizilla]

This movie has a special place in my heart, it was my first Jurassic movie.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Awesome man! It's one of my favorites too!

[@liwsoderqvist5740]

Bastizilla in my case. Jurassic park 3 was the first movie that I watch. And I loved it

[@genjishimada4748]

I watched the lost world, then JP, then JW then I only heard of JP3 in 2016!

[@KRSsven]

In a nutshell, that's why the creator of the video loves it too. While claiming people that don't like it are being 'unobjective'...

[@johnnyklebitz8465]

Honestly TLW was the best movie sequel that they made for JP.

[@bajablast3225]

Agreed I seen it when I was 7 and was the first one I saw in theaters. It was definitely darker and more mature than any of the sequels.

[@BlattMan00]

The best sequel in history

[@malice9240]

Agreed

[@Facelessman254]

True but the end but scene was really messy and unnecessary

[@iBMcFly]

Big facts

[@mbr41]

The lost world theme song was epic

[@MythicTyrant]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I swear you're my brother from another mother. I was 8 when Jurassic Park first premiered, and having already been a long-time dinosaur enthusiast, it was an instant classic for me. When the The Lost World came out four years later, I thought it to be the PERFECT Jurassic Park sequel. In the first movie, the dinosaurs were enclosed in a park built by humans, but then things go horribly wrong thanks to one overly ambitious employee. In the second movie, however, you're on THEIR turf. No fences. No rules. No regulations. And most importantly, no protection. The fact that The Lost World not only had more dinosaurs, but also species of dinosaurs was an added bonus. The third act might be heavily criticized, but I thought it was perfect. It basically answered the question we had all been asking since the original film. What if the biggest and baddest dinosaur managed to reach the mainland? It worked. And worked even better when folks thought the film was already over and it came as a surprise. In all honesty, I feel like if they had nixed JP3, and instead made Jurassic World, they could have stopped it there and made a solid trilogy. One that would remain timeless for not just dinosaur fans like us, but for film buffs for generations. On a side note. I'm extremely impressed by your work! In a matter of months, you managed to accomplish what took me four years to do over the course of my seven-year-long career on KZbin. You produce quality content, and the viewers have clearly noticed! You should be very proud of yourself and the work you've done. I'm certainly impressed! Question. Have you set up a Twitter account yet so that your fans can follow you? If so, you should. I would happily promote it. One other questions. You've inspired me to start doing my own dino series on my channel starting in 2018. Not in reference to Jurassic Park like you, but solely in terms of dinosaurs in general. With your permission, I'd love to promote your site on my own channel. Keep up the amazing work, and I look forward to your next video! Seriously, I haven't binge watched something this much since Stranger Things ;-)

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Wow! I greatly appreciate all of what you've said and really think its awesome you enjoy my material so much! :) I do have a Twitter and its linked on the channel and it would really be amazing if you would support it in any way as I no you don't have to! Again, I really want to thank you for what you've said. This has been a job that I've dedicated a lot of work and effort into and it really means a lot to get positive feedback like that! I just love Jurassic Park along with all kinds of other crazy stuff haha! And I can't wait to see what kind of dinosaur videos you make! :D Thanks for all the cool stuff you brought up man! Its really awesome!

[@MythicTyrant]

It's my pleasure, my friend, and I'd love to help any way I can. I've been a huge fan of dinosaurs since I was just a little kid, and it's good to see some things never go out of style :-)

[@Real_MisterSir]

Glad to see I'm not the only one binge watching Klayton's vids at the moment :D Couldn't have put it better, all your words are like taken straight out of my mind. Feels like I discovered two internet Dino bros! Klayton your work is great, can't wait to see what you make of the upcoming trailer for JWFK.

[@MythicTyrant]

Right on, Daniel! :-)

[@lopezfromrtown7946]

The halo 3 legend

[@kaylaandjax6059]

The Lost World is amazing. I never understood why people dislikes this film. The Raptor concepts and colors were on point too.

[@fifthrider]

I'm so glad to hear you say all this. I drive a JP vehicle and occasionally take it to dinosaur themed events. I'm so tried of hearing people sneer at 2, 3 and JW, it really brings these events down for me. Why?! They weren't scientific documentaries, they were Speilberg movies. ...damned good ones. I think over time people invest themselves in a movie too much and are no longer entertained by just watching it. Now they can only feel good when ripping into something they've spent too much time overthinking.

[@quixotskii7257]

Awesome! Is it a Jeep, Explorer or something else...gyrosphere, maybe?

[@Terrordome3000]

Great video. TLW is badass.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks Jack! Your videos are badass man!

[@potatoman0937]

love your vids I've been watchin all of them klayton keep doing it bro

[@cowboyluigi5275]

Hearing you talk about your dad’s experience with this movie, from disliking it to totally falling in love with it, was super adorable.

[@Wolf_3125]

The first Jurassic Park is and will always be my all time favorite, but dammnit, The Lost World is a close second for me and Jurassic World definitely a close 3rd. I don't understand the hate for the 2nd movie. The 3rd one was bad though.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

yeah agreed

[@elijahrideb1584]

The 3rd one didnt have the suspense and story it needed. It was just so washed that the movie ended up in cartoon network

[@islasornacommunications9179]

Fallen kingdom was good though in my opinion

[@iBMcFly]

I remember being 19 and thinking JP3 was bad. The first two were the best, obviously, but 1-5 hold up, they are all solid.

[@neuroticplays]

The Lost World Jurassic Park has always been my favorite. I remember seeing the first teaser trailer. "Something has survived"

[@aaronflowers8881]

I think this is one of the most underrated movies ever. It's dark tone, death scenes, and suspense are perfect. I'm a Jurassic fan and I love this movie.

[@anthonytorresproductions]

When I saw Jurassic Park is scared me, after watching it again I love it. When I saw the second movie it scared the hell out of me when people were getting ripped in half, crushed to death and even the trailer falling off the cliff. Jurassic Park was like a miracle movie. But, The Lost World Jurassic Park was a legend. Love both Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Steven Spielberg.

[@Cromsies]

I wouldn’t say this movie is underrated. It was a huge success. Love this movie.

[@AllThingsCreepy]

I liked the movie, but the velocity raptor gymnastics made me want to jump off a cliff

[@KlaytonFioriti]

It made us all want to do that lol

[@toastwh1sp3r3r2]

Why?? She was a gymnast, so it makes sense. I thought it was cool scene and actually made a kid useful in a Jurassic film. Aside from lex with her hacking skills, of course.

[@KRSsven]

People hate that scene because it's completely stupid. A full-grown velociraptor is the size, if not quite the weight, of a full grown man. When she kicks it, the thing flies out of the window like a car hit it, even propelling it through a window? From the force generated by a small girl? Reminds me of the awful Charlie's Angels physics where a small woman weighing barely 8 stone even soaking wet could flying-kick open a locked door that also had a man leaning against it, in the direction it opened. Thankfully, some people understand physics. Those people aren't directing movies, sadly.

[@KRSsven]

Sorry, but basic physics doesn't support any of that. They had Kelly do that silly acrobatics because they had zero for her to do in the film, unlike the kids in the novel. It's nothing to do with secret hidden messages regarding children in these films. They are good, but they are not pieces of art. They're big-budget action films that are made by people being told exactly what to do by a studio, for better or worse. Kelly is much smaller than even Malcolm, who is reasonably tall but not heavy set. She's a child, and the adults tower over her. A person's mass can only go so far. The outcome that would have been realistic is that she unbalanced the raptor and sent it flying out of an already open window, not that it was flung out of it (and destroyed it in the process). The way they shoot the scene makes it appear she has hit it with more force than simply spinning around a pole. It also has very little to do with martial arts. An 8-year-old kid can be as good at martial arts as they like, but they are still incapable of the physical strength required to even move a full-grown man. I know this because I've actually trained with children and technique is only part of it. If the child cannot move your weight or your spinal centre (by moving the head), which they cannot do if they can't reach it, then rest assured the man is going nowhere. In real life, kids can't best adults physically most of the time, it's the province of fiction. The only thing in the favour of the scene is that a full-grown raptor likely weighs less, though not significantly so, than a grown man. Dinosaurs did not have 'hollow bones' like birds, this was an evolutionary adaptation that was fully realised later. They had similar bones, but no ground-dwelling animal has an evolutionary advantage from having an adaptation that is exclusively of benefit to *flying* animals.

[@KRSsven]

Yes, actually. Very sure. You must have missed the part where I was talking about 8-year old children, and not adults kicking adults, mainly when the adult has no fucking clue the guy is coming. You also posted a video that has a knife attack in it, to support the idea that a fictional girl could kick an animal that weighs (at the very least) slightly less than a man through a completely barred window? Also, a woman swinging a dog around, for some reason. I'm sure there was a point to that too. Yeah, brilliant logic! A person's mass only takes you so far. In your valiant attempt at showing the internet keyboard warrior's typical mongoloid approach of posting random URLs, you showed no attempt to actually refute the point and instead...posted some URLs to videos that show men kicking one another. You seem to exist in the aforementioned Charlie's Angels universe, where very small people can kick down doors being held shut by people more than twice their weight. Or where if someone has been punched/kicked unexpectedly next to a window, the energy involved is somehow so high they are flung completely through the window, double-glazing and all! What would actually happen is that the raptor would barely move or at most be kicked against the window. Which would not break. Kelly or Malcolm would then die. But because this is a Hollywood movie, she has to get rid of the raptor with her mad gymnastics skillz. That's what Spielberg thought constituted a character arc...she mentioned that she was a gymnast, got dropped from the team and kicked a raptor. Clearly not a man of physics, logic, or grammar, either. You wrote three sentences and only two of them (the ones with six words or less) actually made sense. Anything else you'd like to say?

[@drummercarson896]

I love The Lost World Jurassic Park

[@averypowers1998]

Drummer Carson hi

[@dillydilophosaur]

This still remains my favorite Jurassic sequel, edging out World (JP1 still holds the top spot for the franchise, obviously). The ending is what clinches it- it's just... perfect. Thank you for actually defending the film! PS- I always thought I was the only one that picked up the San Diego scene drew inspiration from the original silent "The Lost World" film! PPS- I hope to see that new video you mentioned soon. Really looking forward to it!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

The Critiquing Criticism video I mentioned is going to take a long time to create. I am hoping to get to work on it sometime soon, maybe closer to Halloween, but if you're interested in how it will turn out I did the first episode on the Spielberg movie Hook. I have a feeling Lost World would be a far better received episode but I want to make sure its as genuine and perfect as possible because I love this movie and think it deserves its day in court. Thanks for the compliments man!

[@KRSsven]

I like The Lost World, but Jurassic World is easily better. It was helped that they were very careful with what they wanted to do (and that there was a 14-year gap since JPIII).

[@nootherteamservicecentre9318]

As a ten year old, TLW was the first movie my dad ever took me too see. He got hooked just as I did. Today I’m taking him to see the fallen kingdom, also the second in a Jurassic Park trilogy.

[@anthonytorresproductions]

7:39 Klayton: Have you ever seen King Kong...? Me: I do, and I love the 1933 and 2005 movies.

[@supergamer5121]

It’s nice to see someone else love this film. Like you, I loved the Lost World when I was a kid. But in the mid 2000’s I heard a bunch of people didn’t like it. Most notably when I watched the Nostalgia Critic’s review of the film. I began to think that the film wasn’t as good as I remembered. Eventually I watched the film again, and I couldn’t understand why people didn’t like it. Well, I heard the complaints and I know why they dislike the film, but I don’t think it’s enough to call the film bad. I still consider it the best Jurassic Park sequel to date.

[@commiegobbledygook3138]

Nostalgia Critic is a dope.

[@KJOokami]

I've also never really understood all the hate The Lost World got. I always adored it purely on the basis that it gave me exactly what I wanted: more high-quality dinosaurs. While B-movies are great in their own way, and there's no shortage of dinosaurs in cheesier films, I have always and will always want more just straight up *good* dinosaur action. So even if the story *had* been awful, I would still love TLW for that fact alone. That said, as you eloquently explained, there really isn't all that much to complain about with this film. Sure, you can nitpick it to hell if you're really determined to dislike it, but as a complete product, it simply isn't worthy of all the scorn it's received. My parents always hated it, I think, because of the obvious environmentalist message built into the plot (they've always been the "I can't stand those tree-huggers trying to get me to care about the environment" types), which just soured them to all of the great stuff the film has to offer. But other than that, the majority of disparaging comments I've heard just comes down to "Remember the raptor gymnastics scene? Lol. What a dumb movie." And that truly confuses me, because 1) while a completely contrived scene that probably was only added because the actress who played Kelly was a brilliant gymnast, there's nothing implausible about sending a lightweight like a raptor flying with all the velocity one can generate flipping around on a bar, and 2) IT'S FUCKING BADASS, REGARDLESS. So yeah, I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thinks this movie gets way more flack than it deserves.

[@serghini11]

“For good reason. It was fucking awesome.” Omg XD I fucking laughed at that part! Thanks for the laugh

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks for watching haha!

[@SomeHarbourBastard]

I adored it. Unabashedly, love it.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

I agree! Its an absolutely amazing film full of incredible film making and intelligent story telling that has me super engrossed in the world its built every time I watch it! The Lost World may be one of the series best kept secrets in terms of quality. I think with each future installment in the series coming out TLW will continue to become recognized as a much better film than what some people have given it credit for.

[@crystalgemgirl731]

Me too.

[@josephlarioscastilla5364]

Congratulations man! It seems you put a lot of effort making these videos and i am amazed by the quality. I will share your channel because you totally deserve more subs. Greetings from México.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you sir! I appreciate it greatly! It takes a long time to make them yes, but I enjoy doing it haha! Again thank you for that it means a lot

[@amandylyn3881]

This is my favorite out of all 6 movies. More Dinosaurs, more Goldblum, even the borderline Godzilla-esque T-Rex rampage in San Diego (which I felt was too short). This is probably why I felt JP3 was a little weak compared to it. I’ll still watch it, but TLW is better IMO.

[@jakeward5102]

This is without a doubt my favorite JP sequel as well as the best sequel in my opinion.

[@redskull378]

Your channel is the and I do mean THE most underrated Jurassic park KZbin channel that I believe has ever been seen in history.Just like your most favorite Jurassic movie.

[@natecrosman9506]

My dad and I watched this in the theaters in '97. He had a great time, at one point stating that he hadn't jumped out of his seat like that since the 60's.

[@christopherrichards2350]

I never noticed any of these movie references in The Lost World. That's pretty cool that Spielberg wanted to pay tribute to those films while making a good sequel to Jurassic Park.

[@andrewrrivera8917]

TLW was always my fave. Probably because I saw it first, and I was very young. 20 years later. Still love it.

[@brianfreeburg3469]

When I was a kid I ALWAYS wanted my parent to rent this movie. So glad there are people willing to defend this movie.

[@luke2r2r]

My parents knew i loved dinosaurs so much that they let me watch Jurassic Park when i was 4 years old, i didn't get scared, i enjoyed every scene, and when The Lost World: Jurassic Park came to our theaters when i was 5 years old, and my parents tricked me in to believing we were going to watch a bugs bunny movie on the theater, but when i saw what was coming up on the big screen, that was one of my best moments in my childhood.

[@ernestojose672]

Love this! Finally someone else is aware of how TLW was loved by almost everyone back in 1997 but for some reason ever since 2006 the internet acts like it was this horrible disaster that no one really cares for.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks man! I have never understood why so many people dissed this movie when it was even nominated for an Oscar back than! Its insane! Truly one of my favorite films of all time!

[@TheMrHavish]

I remember back in 1997, critics said LW was an entertaining enough sequel, but it lacked the wonder and compelling main characters that JP had.

[@monsterhanna6691]

​@@TheMrHavish Also critics: Likes how Ian Malcolm is back and what they did with his character. 😂

[@mateuszmarkucik8013]

As a kid I loved The Lost World for all the species showed in it. Now I love it still. It is a very, very good movie and a very, very enjoyable movie.

[@Minetic]

Man I love this movie, I remember watching it in theaters as a kid and was so psyched when my dad rented it from blockbusters one Friday night. But I got grounded moments before and couldn't watch it with everyone else

[@KlaytonFioriti]

aw man that sucks :'(

[@Lovehandels]

I remember watching this at the movies with my mom and will never forgot the whole room screamed at the part where the raptor jammed his head in the hole under the shed. I used to watch this all the time once it came out on VHS. Both me and my mother loved this one. It was jarring to see Malcolms kid but did assume she was adopted and got over it lol The last act was so awesome! it was the cherry on top the dinosaur shaped ice cream!

[@MEKNISMBEATZ]

Bruh for the past 4 hours iv Been watching your videos 😂😂 good ass content man 👌👌 it's currently 4am. Probably gonna watch a few more

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks my dude haha! :D I'm glad you're liking my stuff!

[@LumeanTV]

I've been here for a week. I think I'm running out if videos. Lmao

[@jackp.richardson6415]

Dude it's 6:30 AM and I've been listening to his videos while playing Jurassic World Evolution for the past 5 hours XD

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Great video. The Lost World- excellent movie as well! Lots of fun.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks! And I totally agree!

[@johncurran823]

Didn’t always love your comedy, but your ideas are often very interesting and I often learn a bit of trivia I hadn’t heard before. I actually saw this one twice in the same day. It’s darker and less in awe of its dinosaurs but it’s packed with thrilling set pieces and a wicked sense of humor.

[@cinemasesh7487]

Watched this two nights ago for the 12th time in 3 years, damn do I love this movie. So underrated. Love that you're spreading the love for the lost world!

[@xposhboyx]

I really appreciate you going through the Easter eggs and call backs and quotes from older dinosaur and monster stories.

[@Kiiriminna]

This has always been my favourite Jurassic Park movie. I remember watching this from TV in secret with my sister and being so scared that she had to put Spice Girls album playing over the movie to ease the tension; and now every time I see Tyrannosaurus in rampage I just think, "Oh, angry Mel B" :)

[@rainer_uncrowned]

I really like this film. It is a natural progression of the JP story, and has some excellent moments that sometimes outshines the original. However, I like the first one better. They’re both better than JP III and JW by far!

[@LumeanTV]

"Boy if you don't like this movie, I'm coming after your opinion" Klayton attack

[@annadewild8563]

I know my comment is two years late (forgive me - I'm a new subscriber, and have been watching your videos from oldest to newest) - but it just goes to show how much appreciation someone has left to give, even if they poo-poo'd something from the first shot. I admit, the very first time (or two or three) that I saw JP2, I wasn't real impressed either. And I think it mostly had to do with all the "technical" dialogue scenes that I didn't understand as a tween. Fast forward to my late twenties and (now) early 30's, all that technical dialogue just BLOWS MY MIND! It answers so many of my questions - how's, why's, who's - and I have a whole new appreciation for this installment! All in all, my perception of the JP franchise shifted as I aged. In the beginning, I just thought it was a cool movie about dinosaurs, and paid attention to no other scene BUT the ones that had dinosaurs in it. But as I grew older, the plot is what really drew me back to the entire series - and the dinosaurs were just a bonus! (Just to hint at how naive I was when I first watched JP2 - the cargo that's strapped down to the hood of Roland's vehicle, shown in 3:57 of this video - I always thought those were dinosaur droppings based on the fact that a lot of their fleet was weaving in and out between the larger dino's legs...smh) Keep rolling out great content!

[@MimMdance]

I was a kid when I watched this and I wasn't ready for the levels of awesomeness and brutality. I actually also prefered it to the first because it was more wild and frennetic. I have so much nostalgia for this film and collected all sorts of merchandise from toys to the sticker album. Great times. The fact that the main characters are just walking around a jungle full of deadly dinosaurs is unsettling too. We all know the original Jurassic Park is a masterpiece, but this one keeps the essence, it is about as good. Really.

[@elijahrideb1584]

I love jurassic park and the lost world. How would anyone who is anyone not enjoy watching the lost world.

[@andymania13]

The Lost World is my favourite as well. It involves both dinosaurs, and human drama in a believable story. It involves more darkness and horror than the first movie. I love the t rexes ransacking the trailers. I love the raptors in the long grass. This whole film had a sense of dread and doom to it that none of the other movies have had. Plus, it was the first Jurassic Park movie I was introduced to, being born in 1990. I remember being excited to go to my cousins in another province because they had it on VHS and I watched it (and had nightmares) every single time. So it’s special for that too.

[@GeeVanderplas]

Just watched them all again, and TLW great! What amazes me about the trailer scene is that we get no outside shots of the rexes wrecking the trailers. It's all from inside the trailers, from the characters perspective, with only one brief shot of the rexes' heads. It makes it claustrophobic and much scarier then if it was all shown with CGI dinos! I think the cinematography and direction of this one is the best of all of them. Just look at the Compy scene with Dieter Stark. Those low angle shots over the water, rocks flying at the camera. It's beautiful!

[@mattgee4867]

I love the scene with the rexes emerging from the jungle left and right of the trailer. And it looks so much better than the Trex in Jurassic World.

[@MinusGoji1]

To be honest I really really really really really really really really love this movie Jurassic park the lost world is underrated

[@liwsoderqvist5740]

The lost world may not have been the first jurassic park movie that I watch. But I can agree that it was an amasing movie and a really good follow up to the first one.

[@TexGrebnerOutdoors]

I have always believed that the Dino Capture scene is an homage to Movie Hatari With John Wayne.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Incredibly similar! You're probably right!

[@TexGrebnerOutdoors]

So you have seen hatari?

[@JPToys97]

I remember my parents bringing The Lost World JP home on vhs back when... I watched it twice in one night!! I've always LOVED IT. 20 something years later now and it is still hands down my favorite sequel to the original 1993 JP film. I never understood how people hated Lost World with such a passion but gave JP3 a pass as a better movie ?? What a joke. Lol. Ether way GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@AnimeFreakLucky7]

So I subbed because Jurassic Park content. Which is odd, because I've always enjoyed the films, but wasn't the biggest fan? But your getting me to want to become one! I do love dinosaurs, and I honestly don't remember the first three so I am going to go re watch them. And your getting me to want to read the books,too! Thanks for the cool content, man!

[@Kains_Gaming_Channel]

When I was younger I loved the lost world. I tought it was better than the original. But now I love the first one alot more. But can't understand why people hate this. Its still a good movie. But it missed Dr Grant. He's the only thing great about the third one.

[@iforgot87872]

In terms of special effects I think TLW is one of the strongest films ever made, like top 5. It does so many things so believably, hiding cgi in darkness still seems to be the way to go.

[@richardgaldos6901]

Comment comes a few years later but its kind of worth saying. I found your channel randomly like 3 days ago and ive just been binge watching your videos. I remember hating this movie on release as a kid and never wanting to give it a second chance. Having hear you praised it in so many other videos, talk about the books, provide some backstory and context. I feel like I was a little too harsh on this movie and Im definitely going to give an effort to rewatch it open minded to see if I enjoy it more now (like your dad) so thanks for all these great videos.

[@dylanloucaides2819]

I can't believe how little subscribers you have. Your such an underrated youtuber. Hope you grow tenfold my man!

[@MatiasMontemayor]

This was a great video, I'm shocked and think you deserve way more subs and views. Greetings and hope you continue to upload quality content!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you man I appreciate that a lot! It really means a lot to have my work on here recognized. How did you find the video out of curiosity? I want to reach as many people as possible :)

[@MatiasMontemayor]

I really enjoyed it, and will definitely rewatch The Lost World now, I also remember loving the movie when I was younger and I want to see if my love for the movie still holds up, can't wait for Jurassic World 2!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Oh yeah I totally agree! Jurassic World 2 is going to be amazing! I'm hearing a lot of things that say it will be the spiritual successor to The Lost World actually

[@trypticon3293]

Great memories from when this movie came out. Still a superb JP-movie in my opinion, and one of my favorites overall.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Totally agree

[@Vetal83]

I remember those beautiful movie posters of this movie,but i could not afford to go and watch it,so i rented a bootleg copy for weekend,and i remember watching it 8 times,it was awesome,i still love it,and it's one of my favorite movies of all time.

I loved this video. Thanks for all the cool facts I didn’t know. I started to remember when you said there were old versions of the Lost World and the original back and white one. I started to realize. Wow that’s right I totally forgot about that. I use to not like this movie. But I watched it yesterday and I have to say. It’s a solid sequel. It’s actually pretty good. An underrated one in the franchise indeed. It’s really not that bad.

[@calebvaldez676]

I love your videos, they are epic, epic enough to have Spanish Jurassic Tubers to recommend your awesome videos

[@lewisfilby2394]

The second half of this video could easily be an episode of Everything is a Remix. Love your work mate, amazing stuff

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Hey thanks haha!

[@drakemark2574]

Amen dude this one solid as a rock. Your channel is the best, I watch it everyday!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that!

[@greysen4815]

I remember when I would go over to my grandpas house and he would play this bad-boy on laser disk. Anyway, it is ironic that someone would complain about Ian Malcolm's daughter, but not the impossible feat of bringing prehistoric animals back to life.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Laser disk. Now that was the way of the future!

[@mrj2359]

Greysen Danae laser disc...I remember watching the Star Wars OT on laser disc.

[@KillerRedVine]

I've always loved this film ever since I first watched it. There really is no argument that I need to hear, or have to make to explain why. It just puts a smile on my face and that's good enough for me.

[@Furryball98]

Very interesting material, Keep up the great work!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you!

[@Justinian43]

The lost world was the best, I loved it since I first saw it. It's incredible! Finally someone agrees. The original is classic but more optimistic and held back, lost world is the perfect mix of adventure, gore, horror and suspense plus the abandoned jp aspect is awesome. JP3 is only good for its 30 seconds of Trex and the abandoned ingen buildings. Jurassic World is also amazing but lost world is number 1 for me!

[@nicholaswallen8147]

Brother, I was 4 for JP 1, and 8 for JP 2. Best childhood movies ever made

[@aurayafrost6253]

Super interesting notes on what has always been one of my favourite movies (though I'll be honest I didn't know a lot of this, I've just always enjoyed it) - new sub for sure, now I'm on a binge of all your reviews :D

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you! :D I greatly appreciate the compliment!

[@RaptorMocha]

when you see a blockbuster video store 😩👌🏻

[@KlaytonFioriti]

I bet that movie King Lear starring Arnold Schwarzenegger they had a poster of in the rental store was pretty dope though.

[@filmstreet.cinema]

Guess you can say, they went extinct.

[@sharquimetal]

*Not to mention that it has one of the most badasses transitions between scenes right at the beginning of the movie.*

[@andrewwilson3876]

I'm 31. I grew up with Jurassic Park. I've seen all in theaters. I am a massive fan boy. THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING. I've loved it since day 1. I still watch it 2-3 times a year. Sure there are some plot holes but who cares? More Dino's, more destruction and more Malcolm!

[@Ch4oTiK]

Bandwagons are a crazy thing. I loved this movie as well. Lol been marathoning through your vids man, good shit.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

[@Dill_Pickle1997]

I remember when I first saw this on DVD as a young kid in the mid 2000s. (Yeah this was after the JP craze ended) I remember just feeling indifferent towards the film. When Fallen Kingdom was about to come out, I too marathoned the first four films. When I got to the lost world again, I found myself HEAVILY invested in it AND getting chills during the action and suspense scenes. I loved it in 2018, and I still love it now.

[@hirowinglessangel]

I saw this movie, the very first time I met my dad at the age of 8. So, it's special to me in the regard that it was the first thing we ever did. Being a huge dinosaur enthusiast myself, for the past 21 years or so its been. The raptor gymnastics was the only issue I have with tbe film. Even revisiting it myself, cause wal mart was selling each of the films with a $5 off fallen kingdom coupon. I still, love this film... In almost every regard... Dino gymnastics aside.

[@OREO22158]

Finally!!!! Someone that really understands this movie, it was so underrated, but I love it! Is great sequel!

[@28vasko]

I love the The Lost World, always have. Saw it in theaters when it was first released and for a period of time it was my favorite movie ever. I was only 10 keep in mind lol. Over the years I started to realize that there was a negative connotation with the movie and it somewhat baffled me. As a film buff, I couldn’t really see many flaws and only saw that it was “different” than the original film. I appreciate Spielberg and Crihtons attempt and approach in making this sequel. It doesn’t try to outdo or mimic its predecessor(which what many do and fail at) it takes what happened before and moves the plot and characters forward in different directions.

[@EMMoney8806]

I remember going to the theaters when it came out and everyone liked it. I remember hearing the claps when Ian's daughter kicked the velociraptor into a different world......sigh......good times

[@AndieSchweizer]

I’m so glad you dragged your dad back 😂 I used to be terrified of this one but I love it now.

[@Sakura_Matou]

My favorite movie as well in the JP series. Roland and Malcolm are also my favorite human characters as well. Only gripe I had was the gymnast/raptor scene. Also thanks for pointing out references I never knew! Makes this movie even better for me now.

[@MilkyJohnsons]

As I kid the part that scared me the most was when Ian heard the T rex was approaching the camp site. Anyways great video. Definitely my favorite movie in the franchise

[@kingmoskwa]

Brother i watched it in theaters for the first time and my dad wont let me let it down lmao i got scared when the stegosauruses first popped up just cause of how loud and crazy it got out of nowhere. That movie was great in my eyes lol love this shit. quarantine got me watching a lot man lol im watching your trespasser reviews again and i still wish i could get the game! its another one that my dad got me into. I've said it before but thank you for everything you do! i love your content and will always watch!

[@JamalGleeson]

You have a new sub, I love your passion for it and I think more people should think more about movies the way you do :)

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thank you! Its really great to hear stuff like that! :) I really appreciate that!

[@isaactheusurper8863]

The synthesized music at the beginning!

[@Stoopid_Sandwich]

I'm like you Klayton. JP: TLW was always my favorite entry in the Jurassic Park franchise. I think it rivals Aliens as the most successful movie in the Survival/Thriller genre.

[@VanWelij]

livingfreak I really like rewatching TLW, but let's not claim it's the same quality as Aliens, lol.

[@adamtrogdon959]

I was a teenager when this came out, 15. Now I'm 35 1/2 wow.

[@Comrade_Jason]

Klayton sounds so different! There are hints of his future voice, but it's so weird to hear him swear! Love it!

[@JackieNihil]

I remember back in 1997 when I was 6 or 7 and my stepdad and I went to the video store to rent the VHS on its release day. We had to wait for a while because they weren't allowed to put it on the shelves before a certain hour. Getting home and watching it I remember being greatly affected by the intro scene with the little girl. It really set the tone for how dark and scary this movie was going to be. Then, scene after scene it just got worse. I think a few years passed then before I saw the movie again, but the clearest memories it left with me were the scenes with the young girl, Sarah being attacked and hiding in the tree, the trailers going over the cliff, the Burke guy getting the snake inside his shirt and the severed hand on the ship. Rewatching it later on made me realize I had only carried a handful of memorable scenes with me (I was probably too young though). Nowadays I also love the movie.

[@franciscoandrada412]

This is the "Prequel Trilogy Effect". Audiences expected Return of the Jedi but they got Revenge of the Sith. Love for these films isn't there at the beggining because it's the adult audiences who dislike it, while younger audiences don't have a big medium to express their opinion. Look at the prequels: - It's always the OT fans the ones who hate everything - They destroyed Jake Lloyd's life - They suck. These groups of people have nostalgia goggles constantly on, so in their mind if it's new, it's bad.

[@cabbyb111]

Finally a safe place if you are someone who loves this film. I genuinely have never understood all the hate! It's the second best Jurassic park movie.

[@jamabenf]

I saw both of the first two films in theater, and while jp1 awed 7 year old me, jp2 definitely wasn't what 11 year old me was expecting. I have to agree with you, I think most people expected something akin to jw and when they didn't get it they lashed out against it. I know it took me four or five years to truely enjoy jp2 and now it ranks high in my all time favorites.

[@hsvcommodore4111]

How you described the opinions on this film was the exact same with the third film for me. I was a kid when that came out and thought this is the coolest film yet because of the spynosaurus. I only found out years later that people hated that film even thought I still love it. My favorite now is the first one obviously and the one I like least is the first Jurassic world

[@baronc252]

My mom thought I was demonic, I was laughing at almost every scene of people getting eaten I was about 5 at the time

[@TheTris147]

I always loved the lost world it’s such an awesome sequel! Number one will always hold a special place in my heart, ‘first movie I ever saw’ but number two is just phenomenal I love the scene of the dino hunting and capture!

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Totally agree!

[@JurassicCreator]

I love The Lost World Jurassic Park. And the San Diego scene was awsome and had some funny suddle jokes, such as the animal control unit going after the Rex.

[@flipper1559]

I love the movie. I don't believe to be the accomplishment that its predecessor was, and I believe many chastised it because it was unable to meet the high standards set by the first, but it still is just an amazing movie.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Agreed

[@linkparadox5318]

Gods I feel old now 20 years everything is turning 20 pokemon hit it a few years ago...

[@KlaytonFioriti]

same man

[@nylathemysticalcat9518]

I didn't see Godzilla until i was much older and at that time, i hadn't seen Lost World in so long, so the fact that the scene of the Asian men running away and one shouting, "I left Japan to get away from this," makes me laugh so hard in excitement! This is gonna make me rewatch Lost World
