It loses so much power on the small screen. In the theater when the life sized T-Tex exits its cage and roared, the entire audience flinched. It was visceral. Frankly, I'd pay to see it on the big screen again.

"T-Rex can't see you if you don't move" is easily the BIGGEST myth this film presents about T-Rex. T-Rex had the largest eyes of any dinosaur that ever lived, and its eyesight was EASILY on par with that of hawks and eagles. Not only CAN it see you if you're standing still, but it can see you from at least a MILE away (it can smell you at least FIVE miles away).

We could say, due to how the scients used DNA from modern era lizards, frogs and gators, they changed some of the ways the dinosaurs behaved. & they didn't have thie mother's to teach them. This is of course using movie storytelling 🤔

[@Kjf365]

@@kevinnorwood8782 And the previous paleontological evidence said the T-rex could only see movement. The fact is that without the actual living creature to look at, it's all just speculation.

@@Kjf365 The Utahraptor was described by Kirkland, Gatson, and Burge in 1993. Meaning they had worked on fossils for a while and decided it didn't fit in with the other Dromaeosaurinae. The first pieces of a specimen were found in 1975. At the time they were probably believed to belong to another sort of Dromaeosaurinae or even more wrongly Velociraptorinae.

[@Fourger14]

There was an academic debate about what counted as "velociraptor" at the time. I believe the film backed the folks calling a genus "velociraptor" because Spielberg thought that was the cooler sounding name, but the name ended up being for the single species definitively per consensus after the movie released. They were then stuck with the name in their canon and couldn't really change it to reflected the new naming scheme.

[@Polymathically]

I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters on opening night as a kid. I wish I could fully articulate just how amazing it was, seeing dinosaurs on the screen and how it was such huge leap forward in special effects. The T-Rex escape scene - especially the sheer _sound_ of the roars pinning me to my seat - will forever be burned into my memory. 1993 doesn't feel that long ago... One other little thing I enjoyed was the full music theme which plays during the credits. It starts with the epic main theme, then gives way to a more soothing piano rendition. But in the last 30 seconds, the piano fades away, and it's replaced with somber horns and shrill violins. It underscores that once the adventure and heartfelt moments are over, the dinosaurs are still out there, with sinister and terrifying implications of what's to come. The novel is great as well; there are plenty of moments that never made it to the screen (for the sake of pacing and gory visuals), and there are differences with regards to some of the characters. As for the sequels... Well, they're pretty hit or miss, and none of them capture the magic of this first one. The Lost World is okay as long as you focus on the spectacle instead of the writing. Jurassic World is basically both a sequel and a soft reboot of Jurassic Park, but for modern audiences.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

So, fun fact, when they were filming Jurassic Park in Hawaii, an actual Hurricane hit the island. Spielberg, the Mad Lad, went out _into a Hurricane_ to get footage of the Storm Surge making landfall.

[@shionrasenka]

Another fun fact! Samuel L. Jackson was supposed to film his character's death scene for the movie, but bcause of said hurricane, he couldn't fly out to Hawaii in time to film it, so they made a cast prop of his arm and used that to show he died off-screen!

I remember watching an iceberg explained video on Jurrasic Park recently. The roof window of the Jeep with the kids was supposed to not break in but the animatronic shmashed it in and those screams were real not just acted. They kept it in because it was genuinely good and caused by actual fear. There're a lot more quite disturbing facts about this series.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

I need to find this video.

[@gothicbutterfly013]

To clarify, the roof window was supposed to come *down*, but that chunk of it that broke off (and hit one of the kids) wasn't supposed to happen. The water from the fake rain on set was causing the animatronic to short out a bit and behave erratically and it came down with more force than they planned for it to, and it also broke one of the teeth on it in addition to breaking the window.

This is, and has remained, my favorite movie of all time for over 30 years. That scene with all the dinos by the lake gets me misty eyed every time.

I don't think I've been quite right ever since.

[@Ryou_Sensei]

Also, many people see the whole, Tim saying 3 after being resuscitated thing as a joke, but realistically, he said it because it was the very last thing that went through his mind before he got zapped and basically died. He woke up and his brain relayed his last thought. Another big thing: watch the scene at 36:44 in the actual movie, you cant see it here cuz of the bubble, but in that scene when it pans to the kids, if you look at the back side of the raptor, you will see a very obvious hand come in and rest on the raptor, because the animatronic was falling forward, so someone had to prop it back up

A couple fun facts: - The dinosaurs were originally going to be entirely animatronics. The soon-to-be VFX director at the time kept suggesting they use CGI for some of the crazier scenes, but Spielberg kept shutting him down, to the point where he even said he’d be FIRED if he didn’t stop nagging him about it. This man, out of pure spite, created his own *RENDERING ENGINE* specifically to prove to Spielberg that CGI dinosaurs could work. - The scream in the T-Rex’s roar was apparently made by a baby elephant, and it only ever made that sound once in the like 5 or so hours they played with it. - In real life, the T-Rex actually would have had some of the best eyesight any land predator has ever had on Earth. The reason why it’s mostly based on movement in the films is simply because they used frog DNA to fill in the genetic gaps, and a frog’s eyesight are made to point out little movements from insects. Because of this, the T-Rex’s eyesight ended up being based on movement, presumably because they had to fill in more genetic gaps than the other dinosaurs.

[@alanfoster6589]

Studies of T-rex skulls indicate that they had excellent-forward facing vision. As you would expect from a large predator. Also, they were possessed of an outstanding sense of smell. As you would expect from a predator who almost certainly also scavenged. Standing still wouldn't save you for five seconds. That was simply a plot device invented by Crichton.

[@progunliberal]

What was so great about the first Jurassic Park film is Spielberg and Michael Crichton the writer of the book series took their time getting into the horror / action part. The build-up and character development is what makes you care about the stuff that comes near the end, and it's so much more brilliant than all of these crappy movies that just throw the action right at the beginning. In those types of movies and books, you have no frame of reference to care about the characters or understand the story. This is a masterpiece. All the rest of the Jurassic Park movies pale in comparison. This is what Spielberg learned from Jaws. While it was initially a mistake in the Jaws films because they had trouble with the animatronic shark, it ended up making it a better film to save the Jaws reveals until the third act, and taught Spielberg how to make a truly scary picture.

[@belisauriusfish9406]

You know, there’s a bit in the original book that I really do think the movie kinda messed up on. When Wu mentioned that the animal was a velociraptor, grant was fairly casual, mentioning he just uncovered one. Then they visited the velociraptors, and the animals tried to attack them through the fence. They started getting concerned when Malcom very helpfully pointed out that predators usually avoid humans unless they learn humans are easy to kill… so where did the raptors learn that?

Dinos are fun subject, once you look beyond movies! They were basically just as vicious as any lion, bear, cat, squirrel, cow - because they filled every niche you can think of in nature, they are known to have climbed trees as well as dug burrows, and the 1-2 thousand species we consider valid today, represent only a disappearing fraction of the real number considering a single fossil is pretty much a miraculous event Jurassic Park ignited a second dinosaur renaissance (first one was in the 60s), where lots and lots of people flocked to paleontology studies, to contribute to the ever growing well of knowledge!

By the end of that summer my parents were dropping me off at the drive-in three or four nights a week with a lawn chair and a sleeping bag, telling me to 'find my own ride home'. (It was Cape Cod in the Nineties, I wasn't in much danger) I brought my big shoulder mounted VHS Tape Recorder and may have invented bootlegging. When I got home to watch it, I realized the mic wasnt connected - I had successfully recorded the whole movie, but no soundtrack. Alas! The microphone was lost to time and family vacations, so the very next night I went back with an audio cassette recorder and recorded the sound. I spent the rest of the fall downstairs in the basement with the VCR and Cassette player, rewinding, pausing playing, over and over, until I could push play on both simultaneously, with the sound and picture synced, and relive the fantasy until those tapes wore out.

Especially as a kid one of my favorites was Radio Flyer with that boy in this movie and Elijah Wood played as his brother in that movie.

[@mikeserot1410]

I clearly remember seeing this is the theaters with my parents. The whole theater shook when the rex roared or stomped around. The raptors (which were really only 2 feet tall in real life) scared me to the point that I actually cracked the bathroom door at the theater open just enough for me to see that there were no raptors waiting for me inside. In addition to the fact that the raptors were made bigger than they were, there is no evidence that the Diliphosaurus (the spitting dinosaur) had frills or shot venom.

At 11:45 why's he smiling like that? Fun fact, it's because he's trying not to laugh from Spielberg being in the vegetation making "dinosaur noises."

[@melody9241]

Jeff Goldblum also says a line in this movie and Independence day the exact same thing. "MUST GO FASTER MUST GO FASTER"

[@neutchain7838]

One of my favourite movies. Spielberg did an amazing job, it holds up really well even after 20 years its crazy. In my opinion neither of the movies in the franchise manages to top this one they go way over the top at times but they are all fun to watch.

[@mutantx2372]

I love Jeff Goldblum and even though he has no range he's always fun to watch in every role.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Jeff Goldblum isn't an actor. He's literally just Jeff Goldblum on camera. And he's absolutely brilliant lol. Watch his interviews

My seventh grade science teacher was SO excited to show us this movie, even though most of us had already seen it. He paused the movie during the t-rex chase, (27:44 for this video) to point out that the "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" warning makes the scene really funny. It seems obvious now, but at that point in my life I had never thought about it. Now it is the first thing that pops into my head when someone says "Jurassic Park"

[@aimeemarie5462]

When I went to see Jurassic World a number of years back, the same thing happened at the theater I was in. Kids running out screaming and crying. It's rated what it's rated for a reason and people didn't listen 😂

[@btnhstillfire]

I was 7 when I saw this in theaters. Had a blast lol.

[@fourthgirl]

I was 30 when this movie came out. My soon-to-be-ex-husband had the kids for the day and I went to the movies. When T-Rex made her first appearance, I was WTF!!! Amazing that the CGI still holds up 30 years later.

[@CigarMick]

Mr. Flicks: "I want a pet dinosaur." Sir, you may get your wish. There is currently a project going on in which they are attempting to reverse engineer the genome of a chicken back to the stage of a dinosaur. They have been able to reactivate most of the dormant dinosaur genes but the gene for creating the tail is proving to be most stubborn and not wanting to reactivate. You may one day have your very own pet chicken dinosaur.

[@trexation]

It was so refreshing to see someone who had never seen the original JURASSIC PARK react to it. That was a blast! Greetings from Germany

[@karenkuhnle781]

i have been fortunate to see ALL the Jurassic Park/World movies in theater..... and when my local theater does a throwback and plays the 1st one I ALWAYS go :) so classic, and no cgi at all..... such classic scenes with all the practical effects.

[@starclone4]

Oh, you are in for a treat with this franchise !!!!

[@maryorosco1027]

the original two novels were written as horror, but they toned it down trying to find a sweet spot between horror and thriller, which is why there are such drastic tone changes between all the movies

[@valerietorrence4318]

Fun Fact: In the book Hammond and Malcolm both die...but when they wanted Malcolm back for Lost World, he miraculously survived.

[@djdomain]

14:53 for context in the novel Nedry was convinced to work for Ingen by Hammond, who greatly undersold how much work was expected for the role, think setting up the network for a mom & pop shop and instead it's for a national or multinational company. Not wanting to do such a monumental workload for what he was getting paid he quit, to which Ingen sued him for breach of contract, and during the legal battle badmouthed him to his clients as unprofessional and unreliable making them stop working with him. Nedry was forced to concede and continue working at Ingen for peanuts plus a massive legal bill.

[@jordanhurd1988]

Joseph Mazzello (Tim) later portrayed Bass Guitarist John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@IsmaelSilva7]

Great reaction man!, Yeah JP movies would be Sci fi horror for me. Hope you do the rest of them, they're fun to watch :)

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I saw this in the theatre as a teenager and it was a great experience! Everyone screamed and laughed and the animatronics were kind of groundbreaking at that point I think. The merch was real though, my little brother had it all; bag, water bottle, cap…you name it 😅

[@adiarainfoster]

My favorite movie from Jeff Goldblum is a mostly forgotten movie called Powder. It's a deeply philosophical and emotional movie I think you would probably love. 🥰

[@MattWolfe1019]

When you asked what Samuel L. Jackson's first movie role was it was a movie called Together For Days it was released back in 1972. His first TV show role was a show called Movin' On back in 1976. He did start his career out pretty early back in the 70s and 80s but it wasn't until the 90s when he became a household name.

[@dontelopez2227]

That movie will always be ICONIC!

[@mrflickswatches]

Facts cuz !

[@wfly81]

When I was a kid, I thought Dr. Ian Malcolm was the GOAT of the movie. But as I got older, Tim became the GOAT in my book.

[@niklaslund2204]

The novel is even better than the movie and for sure worth reading or hearing (audio book) You could ask me any question about the first movie and i could answer it. Always and is still my favorite movie

[@johnbabin2269]

As much as I've always loved JP, it annoyed me so much any time they talked about the T-Rex not seeing you when you didn't move. The T-Rex would have no trouble seeing a stationary prey. Now, it is a question as to whether the full grown T-Rex would even bother to eat a human, but that's a whole different story.

[@cyndisanimaladventures6370]

Don't feel bad about running out of the movie theater. When I was 7 my parents took me to see Jaws 3. (yeah the 3-D one) I never made it through the opening credits. When the dismembered grouper head floated through the blood I screamed until they had to take me out of the show. Today (40 years later) it is one of my guilty pleasure. The film is so bad, the special effects laughable, but I will always love it for the memories alone.😂😂

[@ferrisulf]

I loved watching a bit of your soul die when the dino sneezed on Lex LOL. Samuel L. Jackson actually was supposed to have a death scene. But there was a storm where they were filming and the set was destroyed. It does work in having that scare when his arm landed on Ellie. There is a huge classic movie from years earlier where a kid dies and it's a driving force of the plot. I won't name the movie in case you have yet to watch it. A classic. It wasn't incredibly common at the time, nor was it when Jurassic Park came out.

[@the_kansan_reader]

The kid that plays Tim also played in Bohemian Rhapsody as the bass player for Queen. He also played in a TV series called The Pacific. He played a marine in WWII.

[@Great_Olaf5]

Fun fact, the actress who played Lex (the girl), those auditioning for the role were just told to scream. When the guy going over the auditions was watching the tapes was watching them at night, and hers woke his wife up from down the hall.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

Jurassic Park was one of Samuel Jackson's first big roles. Before this, he'd had at bunch of bit parts, and then a breakout role in Do The Right Thing. The following year, he was in Jurassic Park, and a year later, starring in Pulp Fiction.

[@MeatSim9]

Scary Nature Fact: Herbivores CAN eat meat. You can find videos on KZbin of a horse following a baby chick around, and then just sucking it up and chewing. Deer can also eat birds, mice, etc. So just because something is an Herbivore does NOT mean you are safe around it.

[@NaeOnYT]

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure my dad took my brother to see this shortly after it came out because my brother loved dinosaurs, and that first death sent my brother to the bathroom. I think he refused to go back in, and they went home. This movie is intense at points! (And in fairness to my dad, I don't think he'd seen much advertising for it beyond the "look at these cool animatronic dinosaurs" parts.) The whole family watched it on VHS later, and we all loved it.

[@lauracontino269]

Funny story. My parents took my younger brother and I to see this movie in the 90s. This is one of the first major CGI films popularly released. Anyway, I was in middle school, my brother was in elementary. During the scene with the Tyrannosaurus attacking the suv he stood up on his seat and tried to climb over the back of his seat. In a packed theater. So Im hanging on to his shirt trying to pull him back into his seat while my eyes are riveted to the screen in terror and telling him to sit down 😂My brother was also so freaked out he tried to flee. Dont feel bad.
