The Lost World: Jurassic Park

[@mimic1984]

Fun fact: the glass on top of the car wasn't supposed to collapse on the kids when the T Rex put its mouth against it, so the kids' screams at that moment were 100% genuine.

[@manoz6194]

Not 100% because the T-Rex was fake lol

[@mimic1984]

@manoz6194 Let me rephrase that, when the Animatronic T Rex put its mouth against it.

[@Aloverofthefinerartz]

@@manoz6194 oh no shit? i totally thought they had a real T rex on shoot

[@iiRaptusGaming]

It's a great story and all but unfortunately is not completely true. There are some elements of truth but it isn't quite as interesting as everyone says The rex was supposed to come through the roof. What wasn't supposed to happen was the glass breaking in the corners, I believe it was designed so the glass was supposed to disconnect from the vehicle in one big piece but instead the glass itself actually broke. Also, the shot filmed from the top where you can see the kids faces, that's 100% them just acting as the rex isn't actually even there, just the camera. I may have some of the details incorrect, not saying I know the full story 100%, but I do know the basic concept of that scene was definitely planned

[@thechad4485]

I track down every Jurassic Park reaction because this false story appears every time, and it needs correction. The glass was supposed to fall through because it’s shown in the storyboard in the behind the scene features before filming began. However, because of the rain in the scene, Rexy’s latex skin was absorbing water, affecting the weight-based finely tuned hydraulics of her head movement. In an interview with Joseph Mazzello (Tim), he recalls that the plexiglass was supposed to break through, but Rexy’s head jolted down a lot harder than it was supposed to and ended up breaking the plexiglass, and broke off one of Rexy’s teeth, which landed in Joe’s lap. He started laughing hysterically, so they had to redo the shot. That’s why the smaller broken piece of plexiglass is visible when Rexy breaks through, but is missing after the kid’s reaction shot. Their reaction was not genuine fear. It was acting. Joe put this rumor to bed over a decade ago while doing rounds of interviews for The Pacific.

[@Sentinel3D]

As an animator myself, I can't stress enough that the guys who made this movie had a greater concept of photorealism and animating than we have today, and they had to write their own software. There was no Maya or Unreal to help out. So many movies stopped short of this quality, and it was made in the 80s. I know it was RELEASED in 1993, but I saw footage on PBS in the 80s. The t-rex tiring and slowing from a flat-out run was a perfect transition that many animators today would cover with cuts.

[@Owen-ub3fv]

Interesting. Not saying that sarcastically btw.

[@stephaniem6482]

And another cool fact: the advances made by this film inspired Peter Jackson to direct a monster movie, which ended up being Lord of the Rings (i.e. the nazgul, balrog, smeagol, etc).

[@Earthenfist]

This animation was ALSO directed and aided by some of the top paleontological minds and research of the time. This movie, and the production thereof, actually advanced the science of paleontology SIGNIFICANTLY when it was created.

[@Indarow]

The thing I absolutely love about the first dinosaur on screen is that Grant is a Paleontologist; my man has a freakin *doctorate* degree in the science of understanding Dinosaurs. He knows *exactly* what a brachiosaurus is, he knows what they should look like, but he’s so slack jawed by the fact that a live animal is right in front of him that he loses all sense of professionalism; he has fully reverted to the 6 year old kid that first learned what a dinosaur was.

So as a general rule for this movie, whenever they show only part of a Dinosaur, like the close ups of the head, the upper torso, etc. That's a practical effect. Whenever they show the entire dinosaur, that's CGI. Also, fun fact. The mechanical dinosaurs didn't handle the rain very well, and when they got wet they would sometimes just turn on and move around on their own. Scared the shit out of the cast and crew a number of times.

Ehm nope. The Triceratops f.e. was a completely real Animatronic, and the T-Rex was too. (the COMPLETE T-Rex)

[@acrobat89]

@@sabrinaschmitt9267 I said as a general rule, not an absolute. They did have a full size animatronic T-Rex, but it didn't do a lot of the full body movement shots. There are only about 15 minutes of Dinosaurs in the entire movie, and of that, 6 minutes is fully CGI. Which is when you see full Dino's running around. Most of the other shots are just partial dinos. If you assume that every time you see a full dino moving around it's CGI, you're going to be correct 99% of the time. Hence why I said "as a general rule"

The book this was based on was written by Michael Crichton, a prolific writer of "fiction as fact" stories like this (having received his MD, though deciding to write over practicing medicine). His seminal work was the 1969 novel "The Andromeda Strain", which has all of the tense sci-fi elements of Jurassic Park, but none of the Spielbergian humor. The movie is presented almost like a documentary, and is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I highly recommend a watch of that, though make sure it's the original 1971 version, not the later CGI-heavy remake. Look up Crichton, and you might recognize a great many books, movies and TV series. His book "Eaters of the Dead" was adapted to the movie "The 13th Warrior", which is another of my favorites.

Fun fact about this movie: when the girl falls through the paneled ceiling at the end, and looks up at the camera for a split second before the others pull her back up through the hole, that was a stunt woman who actually did that fall. She wasn’t supposed to look up at the camera, but it just happened. And that was the first time they digitally replaced someone’s face with someone else’s. #CinematicHistory.

[@patrickb4750]

Octopus are incredibly smart survivalists. Not only can they change color to match their surroundings, they can change texture too, and will also mimic the movement of what they're copying. For example, if they need to cross an exposed area of sea bed, they can take on the look of tumbling seaweed, and 'act' their way across the expanse, like seaweed being pushed along by the current. They're literally Academy Award winners of the sea.

14:28 "What do they got in there? King Kong?" FUN FACT: Jeff Goldblum's character asks that because the entrance gateway is literally the same design taken from the Kong Kong movie.

@@mestupkid211986 No. To clarify what I'm saying: Just like King Kong was not the first film to use stop motion animation, Jurassic Park was not the first film to use CGI. (FYI Neither was T2).

[@impishsongster333]

The techy stuff may be true, but according to a "The Making Of" documentary, Steven Spielberg, when trying to come up with a grande gate entrance to Jurassic Park, as a movie buff, thought of the huge gate doors, of King Kong. He duplicated it as an homage to King Kong, and because he felt it was a perfect fit for, Jurassic Park.

Three Fun-Facts, Velociraptors were actually around 1-2ft tall at the top of their heads, the ones they show are Utahraptors which were discovered 15 years before the movies production started. Second Fun-Fact, Dilophosaurus are actually 6ft tall and around 20ft long from head to tail, and there is no evidence that they could spit poison and had frills, but they did have two thin, bony crests on their snout. Third Fun-Fact, in the original books the movie is based off of by Michael Crichton, Hammond knew what he was doing was dangerous and people would die, but he just wanted the money, but they had to change his character in the movies so he would be more likeable.

[@Armeir]

I believe Michael Crichton said the velociraptors were based off Deinonychus but he used the name Velociraptor because it sounded better for the book. Though looking back the Utahraptor is closer in size to the Jurassic Park raptors, the movie dinos were based off Deinonychus, just sized up a bit. The original 1975 Utahraptor fossils weren't studied in detail until they found more in 1991, I think the genus was only first described and named in 1993 after examining all they had.

[@Pridam]

The movie Velociraptors were not based on the Utahraptor. Both Speilberg and Michael Crichton used the Deinonychus as the basis for the Velociraptors, not Utahraptor. In fact, Speilberg was surprised to find out the existence of the Utahraptor which he found out they existed AFTER the movie was made

[@Jillital]

@@CosplayingHistoryNerd It's also the expert use of light, editing, and ambience. The CGI rex is heavily obscured by rain and dark, high contrast lighting. We only get glimpses of it in lightning flashes. Masterfully combining the animatronics and CGI rex in the same shot through the use of panning over wipe elements.

Imagine working as a contractor for a multi-billion dollar company to set up a custom, state of the art, fully automated system, in the 90's, and them basically calling you back out for a ton of extra work that they aren't paying you for while they hold your career hostage, then while working there all you hear is the CEO (who was the one who decided not to pay you) brag about not sparing expenses... and then someone approaches you about stealing some embryos and paying you 10 times what the original job paid!! I mean, it would have worked if it hadn't been for mother nature again with the crazy storm making the ship have to leave early. Funny enough in the book it's again because Hammond refused to invest in creating a proper dock and the one they had was terrible😂 I'm sorry, Nedry wasn't exactly a great guy, but Hammond def had it coming! In the book he gets chased down and eaten by a pack of Compy's, basically little chicken size dinos, he falls and breaks his leg, then they slowly kill him with tiny little bites here and there until he stops fighting back... it's pretty dark.

[@roems6396]

Well, it’s buggy because he messed up the code somewhere, right? They paid for a working system. Therefore, he should fix whatever bugs are in it.

[@ch4z_bucks]

​@@roems6396as far as I know he wasn't contracted to set up every system. He was meant to do a portion of the system work, and the blackmail was to get the rest done and within a very limited timeframe. The guy was basically blackmailed into taking pennies for doing work he originally wasn't contracted to do. Nedry in the book wasn't a slacker, quite the opposite. He was a guy who was taken advantage of, couldn't go to anyone for help (Hammond threatened to sue him if he spoke about his work because of an NDA). He ultimately got a lot of people hurt, and that makes him something of a bad guy in the books, but it was pretty much because of Hammond.

[@animemaniacify]

​@roems6396 so in the novel they weren't honest about the scale of what they needed so he wasn't able to properly code it. And Hammond fid successfully turn some of his clients against him

[@HiddenWindshield]

31:14 Fun fact: for this scene, the animators built a 3D projection of where each actor was looking at each moment, so that, whenever they reacted to a "dinosaur" passing near them, there would actually be a dinosaur in their sight line for them to react to.

[@keithartworker]

There's a few movie notes I've learned over the years: (1) KFC man says "Spared no expense" but through out the film we learn he cheaps out on all kinds of stuff, including paying employees. (2) KFC pops the wine bottle but uses ordinary glasses to drink the wine from. (3) The helicopter seatbelts are two female ends that "tie the knot" to find a way.

Fun facts: there was an actual hurricane during shooting, the water got into some of the electronics and theres several stories from rexy moving on her own, also with Dennis, the dilophosaur doesnt attack him at first because his hood makes him look like a dinosaur, its only after his hood comes off that he gets attacked

[@joeysfieldherpingadventure8861]

I also like the Dilo scene because the hood can be seen as Nedry "challenging the Dilo and being a big threat. However it's when he falls down and is "smaller" than the Dilo that it attacks. Then he runs and goes from a rival to prey. JP was great at subtle things that make the dinosaurs feel like animals and not just killing machines.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

I love when people go into Jurassic Park thinking it's a kids movie. The book was straight up horror 😂 And the actors actually were afraid of the giant rex animatronic.

[@amberfitzpatrick3777]

On set they had a lot of safety briefings around the full sized t-rex animatronic. Even so her foam- latex skin tended to absorb a lot of water causing her to sometimes short and move on her own. Always scared the heck out of everyone.

[@D8nnyJ]

Hammond constantly reminding everyone he 'Spared no expense' is quite ironic, too. He undercut a lot of areas in the park. He was reminded by Muldoon that the Raptors are looking for weaknesses in the electrified cage, yet did nothing. He didn't have emergency protocols for hurricanes and storms, and he also underpaid the one man who ran the whole IT system that kept Jurassic Park running. And when said technician confronts him and asks for a raise, Hammond merely scoffs at the idea, which led to the hell the cast found themselves in. On top of all that, whilst his grand kids are lost in a park full of live, dangerous dinosaurs, he's sat in his cafe having cake, deliberating over the fact that his park has most likely failed. Hammond spared every expense he could. Probably why he hated lawyers so much. Also, Hammond in the Jurassic Park book was a monster of a villain. At least the one in the movie was a little more humanised.

[@skwervin1]

Also at the end of the book as they are flying away from the island, you pterodactyls flying under the helicopter, leaving the island. They were supposed to not be able to leave because the food they were given had a particular nutrient added to it that you couldn't find naturally, so if they left they would die..... well... life finds a way ...

I honestly really like Hammond in the movie. He made a lot of critical errors but his intentions were always so pure. "Everybody in the world has the right to see these animals" just sums it up so well. Then in Jurassic World when Masrani is talking about Hammond, he says Hammond didn't ever talk about profit.

[@Purple_Buffalo]

I saw this opening night when I was 12 to a sold out show. By this time in my life I had scene just about every horror and thriller film but nothing could prepare me for what came. No one in the history of the world had ever scene a dinasaur breathe and believe it, up until that very night. When the power went off and the rain started to fall, a slow stillness began to overcome the audience. Everyone in the theater no matter what age, was transfixed and paralyzed with fear. We all knew the danger that was looming and we all prepared in our own way for yet another, Speilberg rollercoaster. When the rumbling started we all felt it in our chairs and no one made a sound. Just the sound of the rain and our internal heartbeats. As Rex swallows the goat and then tears down the fence, I felt for the first time what adrenaline was. As Rex let out that horrific roar, I thought I was going to die right there. My heart was thumping out of my chest and I couldn't turn it off. The relief that came after was short lived as I again thought I was going to die when the TRex bagan to chase the jeep. IT LOOKED SO REAL! And then, just as my adolescent nerves were about settled again, the raptors in the kitchen scene just about aged me 10 years. I had never known fear like that. But what a thrill:)

2 fun facts #1: Jurassic Park movie is based on a novel of the same title. #2: the sci-fi explanation for how dinosaurs were brought back was the best idea that scientists could come up with around the time of the movie's production as to how that could potentially work. In the years following this first movie, scientists would figure out that nothing about this explanation would work.

[@Serai3]

Fun fact: This movie was what proved that dinosaurs evolved into birds. It had just been a theory up until that point. But when the animators took the scans of dinosaur skeletons and started to flesh them out and move them, they realized these animals couldn't possibly have moved the way everyone thought they did. It just didn't make sense for these enormous creatures, who were supposed to be predators, to be lumbering around dragging these massive tails on the ground. It didn't physically work. They had to be walking with their heads stretched out, balancing their massive back ends with their massive necks and heads. When they smoothed out the kinks and got them moving, they realized "Wait a minute - that looks like the way chickens walk!" It was a revelation because nobody had ever had the ability or opportunity to actually prove it. It changed the way we think about dinosaurs. And it was all due to Spielberg and his desire to make a fun and scary movie.

Spielberg wasn’t the one who decided that. Chrichton did when he wrote the source material and wanted to use Deinonychus instead of Velociraptors because of their size, but went with the Velociraptor name because it was more menacing sounding.

[@Pridam]

The movie Velociraptors were not based on the Utahraptor. Both Speilberg and Michael Crichton used the Deinonychus as the basis for the Velociraptors, not Utahraptor. In fact, Speilberg was surprised to find out the existence of the Utahraptor which he found out they existed AFTER the movie was made.
