They did some subtle foreshadowing in the helicopter scene with the seat belt: his belt didn't connect because it had two "female" ends, but he made it work anyway...
you’re one of the only reactors I’ve seen notice that great scene where they’re driving away from the T Rex chasing them and it shows the mirror with “objects in mirror are closer than they appear” lol. It’s great cinematic humor
It always disapoints me when reactions cut the dinner scene when they talk about the ethics of the park. IMO, it's most important part of the entire movie, because it brings up very real questions and honestly the scene only becomes more and more important with time, because we see the things Malcom is worried about in this movie are real things that our own world needs to be questions on. "You're so preoccupied with wether or not you could, that you didn't stop to think if you should".
Yes, and no. We need to keep moving forward in some respects. Take for example 3D printing. We no whave the ability to 3D print organic tissue. They have already successfully printed and produced beating hearts. Are there some dangers in that tech? Yes, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. Take, for example, being in a horrible car accident or something. You lose a leg. Someday soon, it will be possible to.. Forget a prosthetic. We can just take some of your DNA and build you a new leg to replace the original one. Now, it is important to be mindful of anything we do as a species.. But i've always found the arguements with regards to Juarassic Park a bit silly. Yes, they are "new" species from 65+ million years ago... But they're animals just the same. No different than any other Zoo where exotic and dangeorus animals are displayed to educatie the public.
@@OpenMawProductions I mean I wasn't strictly talking Genetics, so much as overall Science, as well as other aspects of our world only caring if something is possible and if it'll make money over if it's something they should actually do. A prime example is Fracking, a process that is confirmed to do sever harm to the environment and been directly linked to causing earthquakes, yet our Goverment here in the UK is trying to push forward with it as it's a quick "solution" to the current gas and energy crisis, but long term it's going to do far more harm to the country.
@@Cherri_Bomb_01 Oh, totally. Absolutely. I would say with things like the energy crisis the problem is one of infrastructure and expense. I don't disagree with environmentalists on the idea that we need to move away from having our entire civilization based around limited, and harmful, energy sources. I do question the initial premise, I question the political motivations, and I question the methods that ere also suggested. The problem is that the message has been so militant, it has turned the other side where there were people willing to listen... It has turned them off completely. Many of my friends are uninterested in hearing about the technology advancedments made with, clean energy cars for example, or a lot of the futurist stuff going on with homes. Big problems there. Infrastructure doesn't exist. We *are* dependent on what we currently use. And the crazies more on the left are pushing with such fury and not considering the catastrophic economic issues... I'm for gradual transitioning. I think if the higher end neighborhoods and the private communities got switched over first, and then as we build new apartments and homes we build them to be energy indepedent... Then we'd start to see all of those older industries start the transition process. The technology still needs time to catch up and evolve.
it's actually my favourite scene, i like getting into ethical debates, and Malcolm brings up an extremely valid point, just because the could it doesn't mean they should
Yeah, I remember reading about an incident in a large public aquarium, wherein one of the shark's tanks had been neglected, and missed being cleaned. Among the things usually removed were unfertilized eggs she laid. They realized it when suddenly they found baby sharks swimming around: The female was parthenogenic, and could create biological clones. They started exporting as many of her offspring to other aquariums right away, because, if you got one parthenogenic shark, soon enough you will have dozens!
That isn't what happened in Jurassic Park though. Some of the dinosaurs were changing from female to male due to that ability from the frog DNA, and then mating like normal with the others, in order to reproduce.
This was far more impactful in 1993, when there was still some debate about dinosaurs being related to birds. Plus the technology was ground breaking. As a geology student back taking a paleontology class, it was pretty cool. There was also only one sketchy fossil from china that showed debatable feathers impressions attached to the skeleton back in the early 1990s.
I took the city bus by myself for the first time to see this movie in theaters when it came out. I was blown away. There had never been special effects this good back then.
As others have pointed out, while cases of feathered dinosaurs were known in the late 80's and early 90's, they were considered extremely rare. It's only in the last 25 years or so that more information has come to light that feathered dinosaurs were a much more common occurrence. It's also important to point out that while we now know many dinosaurs were covered in feathers, like dromaeosaurs/raptors, that's not to say that all dinosaurs were covered in feathers. One good example is the Tyrannosaurus rex, which people often consider to have been covered in feathers. An extensive study, which was done only a few years ago, actually concluded that there is no evidence of T. rex having had feathers, at least not as an adult.
The justification for the dinosaurs in this movie looking the way they do is that they are not dinosaurs. They are genetic creations. More of a homage to the species they resemble than a actual clones, as they are mixed with frog DNA. So they have physical characteristics that don’t match their prehistoric counterparts.
FUN FACT When they climb through the ceiling, light shines through the PERFORATED ceiling tiles. BUT instead of little squares of light shining on the Raptor, the CGI wizards used the letters GATC which represents the 4 nucleotide molecules from which DNA is built😉
Yes Blue, Velociraptors are much smaller than these, but have a cooler sounding name than the closest two species to the visual they wanted (Deinonychus and Utahraptor). Thus, everybody wrongly thinking that Velociraptors are not murder turkeys 😅
@@argent-kestrel90 Achillobator is probably the most accurate representation. They are a bit heavy but they have a closer skull shape (dakota has a really narrow skull) and body size.
Fun bit of Forshadowing: In the scene where Hammond is trying to convince them to come to the island behind him in the background partly covered by a plant there is a sign with big black text that reads " No animals released without paperwork completely filled out."
Fun fact: When the rex smashed through the glass on top of the Explorer, the screams of the kids were real screams of fear. The animatronic rex head came in to hard/fast and legit broke the glass. It was just supposed to knock the glass down where they would "catch" it and hold it while the rex head "nuzzled" it but it broke instead scaring the shit out of the kid actors. And of coarse, because their real fear added realism to the shot it was the take used.
The animatronic T-Rex (Roberta) malfunctioned several times in the rain, I believe that was part of the reason why she came in too hot on that glass roof? One of the reasons why they say CGI is safer than practical effects… but CGI will never beat practical.
Yeah lol chased Rexy right towards the really mean old weenie lawyer guy who selfishly abandoned the poor kids he's sitting on the toilet 😥 whoops 🤭 Cronch Rexy She bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy before eating him up it was actually pretty funny looking would you agree with me?
Yes velociraptor is a smaller dino (about the size of chickens) but that wouldn't give quite the same screen presence. The raptors here are more akin in size to deinonychus.
I remember the first time I saw the feathers on dinosaurs thing on the front cover of a science magazine in about '96 or '97, a few years after this came out. Some people retcon the reptile issue by saying its a byproduct of the frog genes that they talk about in the little DNA guy explanation part.
Jurassic Park Amazing 🤩 and hey that restroom scene where the really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids he's hidden sitting on the toilet Sweating it 😥 and Rexy 🦖 She found him and bites him up shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy lol it's actually kinda funny looking wouldn't you agree?
31:10 “did the one break free from the fridge?” No, that’s the one Ellie trapped in the power room when she ran away after turning the fences etc back on, when speaking with Alan in the bunker when grant asks “just the two raptors right? Are you sure the third one is contained?” “Yes, unless they’ve figured out how to open doors” We then get shown a raptor opening the kitchen door. The freezer got LOCKED, so this is the one from the power bunker, further implied by the shot of Ellie’s face looking up and seeing it come inside
and through the trailer for the new 'JP: Survival' game, we see the freezer opening after the events of the movie. So Randy will be still around for the game which is set immediately after/during the events of JP1993. Good thing the Rex killed the beast though
Everyone is _so_ critical of Lex turning on the flashlight. She's panicking. *You'd* (everyone, I mean) would panic too. A dear friend went swimming, in a cage, with great white sharks. When one swam peacefully next to her...she started hyperventilating, clamored back on board, and vomited all over the deck. I would *never* make fun of her for this, 'cause...there be dragons. Until you meet one face-to-face...don't judge. Maybe I'd keep my cool...maybe I'd poo my pants and turn on a flashlight. I dunno.
Yeah, there were a couple inaccuracies in the movie, raptor size was one but... dinos in the modern world sort of cancels out the "artistic license taken. The idea that dinos had feathers is a recent one too. "In my day dinosaurs were lizards" and all that. Plane ticket: $1000, genetically engineering dinos several million... The look on your face when the raptor showed up in the power room... priceless. :) And you skipped the review: "Mr. Hammond after careful consideration I've decided NOT to endorse your park." One of my fav lines.
Plus the fact that, with the differences in temperatures and oxygen levels in today’s world, those dinosaurs would have had a hard time surviving. That T-rex would have had to stop every couple steps to catch his breath.
We have another Dino lover here ^^ you are half right about the fact that Dinosaurs used to have feathers, some had some not, more depending on the species. But I think during the time the film was already produced they first found some fossils with fossilised feathers, which indicated taht there were indeed Dinos with feathers. And the movies after that were probably more like " yeah they look cooler withouth feathers or its just easier to animate XD "
Thoughts about how dinosaurs appeared were undergoing a revolution while this movie was made, but at the time they had just decided on wild coloring. The concept of feathered dinosaurs came a couple years later. The field went through a lot of changes at that time in terms of understanding.
Some feathered dinosaurs had been found, like Archaeopteryx, which was discovered as far back as the 1800's, but at the time the movie was being made feathered dinosaurs were considered rare and were seen more as missing links between dinosaurs and birds. It wasn't until the late 90's that we started finding more and more fossils of feathered dinosaurs, which changed the historical narrative to one where we now understand that feathers were a much more common occurrence, and could be found in species that weren't considered 'missing links' as well.
Saw this in 1993, opening weekend when I was 11 years old :) Best weekend ever. Nothing has ever come close to this movie. My generation's Star Wars moment. I love the Rex escape scene. If you listen to Malcolm when Grant shouts "Ian FREEZE!" He screams back "Get the kids!" Grant shouts to get rid of the flare... and Malcolm's response again is simply "Get the kids!" He's fully prepared to place himself in danger, even sacrifice himself for the lives of children. Malcolm's awesome.
Before Speilberg took the reins and made the movie, James Cameron, Richard Donner, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered for Directing. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Alec Baldwin,Tom Selleck, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Dylan McDermott, and Tom Sizemore were considered for Alan Grant. Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Kyra Sedgwick, Uma Thurman, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Juliette Lewis, Helen Hunt, Genevieve Bujold, Christina Applegate, Sarah Jessica Parker, Joan Cusack, Debra Winger, Teri Hatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Lisa Rinna, Renee Zellweger, Kim Raver, Mariska Hargitay, Juliette Binoche Sandra Bullock, and Kim Basinger were considered for Ellie Satler. Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox and Bill Paxton were considered for Ian Malcolm. Brian Cox, Geoffrey Rush, Bob Hoskins, and Jeffrey Jones were considered for Robert Muldoon. Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando and Jon Pertwee were considered for John Hammond. The film was a box office and critical success making $1 billion dollars ($1.8 billion dollars today) against a $65 million dollar budget. It's now considered to be one of the greatest Sci-fi movies ever made.
spielberg was really the only one considered. Spielberg and Crichton had a gentleman's agreement after Crichton spoke to him about the novel before it ever went up for bidding. Also it didn't make a billion on its initial release. it is 1 billion after its cumulative release and re-releases. it made just over 900 million in 1993-94 and then 100 million+ more in the re-issues since then.
If you want to see and hear the closest living things to dinosaurs, find videos of the cassowary and emu. They are descendants of therapod dinosaurs (which included T. Rex and velociraptors). They make deep growling sounds and hiss as well. They use the long claws on their feet to attack in a similar manner to velociraptors.
4:45, you are totally correct, Velociraptors were the size of big dogs or turkey like the kid says, but they were still extremely vicious, and their claw was that same size. Imagine being attacked by a vicious dog with that foot claw. They almost certainly had feathers to be like an ostrich, so still scary, but not like they are in the film.
The idea of dinosaurs having feathers is a recently accepted one. 4:44 HOLY SHIT YES! They sized them up more like the size of the Utahraptor for the sake of creative license. You're the first person I've seen react to this movie call that out. That just earned so many cool points. Kudos. 29:36 "THIS IS SO SLOW!" Welcome to computers in 1993 lol.
Someone back in the day wrote a file manager for Unix that took inspiration from the one in Jurassic Park. It was very very slow partially because graphic acceleration wasn't much a thing back then.
You have to give Spielberg major props because while making this movie he was also doing a lot of production work on another movie Schindler's List at the same time. He would often approve set design and gave scene approval and direction from Poland. Talk about keeping many plates spinning simultaneously
It blows my mind that people out there have never seen these movies like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Jaws etc. I guess I need to keep in mind that these UA-camrs are much younger than me, so they’re a different generation therefore they haven’t seen all of these HUGE movies
Velociraptors ARE normally smaller, you're absolutely correct, but when the original story first began getting worked on, Deinonychus was still considered a type of Velociraptor, which is why they're digging one up in North America and not China. The ones in this movie are slightly upscaled animals based on Deinonychus. Ironically, Utah Raptor was discovered during the movie's creation. Bigger and heavier than the animals in this movie, though. Still, it was almost like the creative processes of making the film willed the Utah Raptor into existence.
One of my favorite movies ever 🧡... and the theme song always makes me emotional. This movie was pretty scary when I saw it as a kid in the 90s. Great reaction as always 😍!
i honestly LOVE jurassic park...it's a perfect example of chaos theory...which is why Dr Ian Malcolm, the chaotician, says some of the most notable lines in the series like "life will find a way". for those not familiar with chaos theory it means "shit happens" it's complicated but basically it is the belief that if you tempt fate by leaving the possibility for things to happen open...the likely hood is THEY WILL happen. so here we have a dangerous park filled with "dinosaurs", minimal staff n security, tour cars that only run on electricity...the security guy runs off and shut everything down...a freak storm is on the way...well...this couldn't get any worse...or could it...
If u enjoyed Jeff Goldblum as Dr Malcolm then earlier in his career he played another scientist in the film "The Fly"..... there's definitely a character arch😉
At the time when the movie was made, the popular depiction of Dinosaurs were Giant Lizards. No we know that many did have feathers, and some, like the Triceratops had Rhino-like hide. The T-Rex was believed to have feathers, until recently when a facilized imprint of T-Rex skin was found and it looked to be more reptilian. The Rex also is believed to have amazing eyesight, an incredible sense of smell, and judging from scans of the brain cavity, extreme intelligence, roughly that of a Chimp... and they are believed to have hunted in packs.
In the book Crichton had a character explain afterwards that the raptors did not behave like real dinosaurs because not all their behaviour was instinctive but much was learned and they had no one to learn from
Truly one of my favorite movies with absolute best scenes. "God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs, dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth." That's my grand favorite scene.
Seeing this movie in the theater was just a amazing experience, not the first movie to use CGI and practical effects but certainly not on this giant scale. The shot of the T-Rex coming out of the fence still looks amazing.
The Archaeopteryx is the one with feathers and had the ability of flight during the Jurassic period and up to the Cretatous period, then 70 million years later true birds were formed.
I've probably watched 20 react channels do this movie and you are the FIRST I've heard mention the humor of the standard text on the mirror "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" in that moment when the T-rex is chasing them lol.
So glad Trixy got that velociraptors are smaller in real life. They're actually about the height of a turkey, and the dinosaurs we've been led to believe are velociraptors are actually deinonychus. The book actually explains in canon why this is, but that was one of the more important things that the movies missed in their adaptations. Basically Michael Creighton thought velociraptor sounded cooler, which it does, so he made up an excuse that the Jurassic Park scientist were so preoccupied with producing as many dinosaurs as quickly as they could to get the park ready and this caused mistakes like getting names wrong. I guess the movie's version of this was renaming John Arnold to Ray Arnold so audience members would get him confused with John Hammond. There's tons of interesting behind the scenes facts and stories for the books and movies.
Actually Crichton used velociraptor antirrhopus instead of Deinonychus antirrhopus because one of his sources was a paleoartist named Greg Paul who lumped Deinon into Velociraptor at the time in a wild bid to change classification of dinosaurs. Paul was then used to consult on the film (his artwork is seen early on in the movie). Crichton told Ostrom (the discoverer of deinonychus) that he was going with Paul's name because he liked it more and apologized. The book actually states that the species was "Velociraptor antirrhopus", meaning that it wasn't a mistake on InGen's part in the novelverse, that was the name of Deinonychus in it. Unless Grant is guilty of mislabeling species as well. Also Ray Arnold is still John Arnold in this universe technically. Ray is his "middle name".
My dad met the kid who played Tim. He had to drive him to the set of a movie he was working on, I believe it was called Starkid. My dad said that he was very shy.
Wow. I don't even consider myself old, but I think you're the first person to mention in one of these react-vids that "dinosaurs should have feathers." Bravo. Somebody's been paying attention!
After that weekend, Tim and Lex will need heaps of therapy, but no bully will ever be able to get a reaction out of them after what they've been through.
Of the several hundreds of comments I've read, no one seems to mention dinosaurs probably wouldn't have been able to breathe our air. Theirs contained far more CO2. Who knows what the extra oxygen would have done to them. It's also unlikely they would recognise a single plant, or suitable prey for that matter. Aside from that it's a wonderful scifi-horror fantasy in every way, and will always be one of my favourites.
Yay! Blue! You caught one of the earliest flaws in this movie. Velociraptors were not anywhere near a meter and a half or 2 meters tall. NOW I get to see how many other catches you get early on. You were quick on the amphibian (frog) DNA observation about reproduction, when they found the eggs, you were ahead of the exposition there. [I knew you were attentive and intuitive] I will say, the electricians I know, would say "volts hurt, amps kill" a reference to high voltage, low amperage being much safer to deal with than high amperage at much lower voltages. A car battery only runs 12 volts, but can output hundreds of amperes in a fast discharge. It just drains the battery very fast. I have personally, willingly, taken over a thousand volts through my hand testing a "hot wire" fence (a fence that is designed to shock an animal that tries to cross it) for the purpose of verifying the charger is functioning and to determine where the short is. (If I get a hard shock, the short isn't near me, if I get a mild shock, I'm near the short, if I feel nothing, the short is between me and the charger. [This is done using the scientific principle of ppace my wrist on the fence and then lower the back of my hand to the "hot wire" do the reaction of the muscles will be to convulse away from the energy, to ensure i don't get "locked" on the wire, but offers a path that can be more conductive if I'm not close to the short] simple science, the charger output less than half an ampere. It is explicitly designed to be u comfortable not dangerous, and would cycle every few seconds. Useful for ensuring animals stay where they are supposed to, because they learn "don't touch that, it bites")
Yeah lol and hey that famous restroom scene where the really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abandoned the poor kids just desperately Scrambling trying to hide sitting on the toilet 😥 but Whoops 🤭 Cronch Rexy She found him and Eaten him up anyways it was actually pretty funny looking would you agree with me?
This and its immediate sequel, The Lost World, are adapted from the Michael Crichton novels of the same name. After those are Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World Dominion, the short film Battle at Big Rock and the Netflix animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous
'adapted...' the first movie was decently adapted, many of the changes seemingly due to budgetary constraints at the time. for example, the raptors, there was 3 in the movie, but in the book they knew of 8, and later found out there was nearly thirty of them running around the island.. But the lost world... brutal.. The main protagonist of the book wasn't even in the movie. And no, as far as I recall, there (partial spoiler ahead), there were no dinos in america.
@@endarkens7557, much of the graphic violence and brutal kills from the novels were significantly cut down or removed entirely, as was most of the swearing. If the movies were more faithful to their novel counterparts, they'd be R rated horror films
Nile crocodiles do the same thing the ones in Chicago when I saw them almost 20 years ago were being fed from the ceiling because they were waiting for the keepers at the doors on either side and every time, they were being fed the croc's were going for the people instead. Salt water crocodiles have also been known to watch and learn patterns which is why if you ever go to a country where they live your told not to do the same thing day after day near the water because if you happen to be watched it will be waiting for you around day 3.
This is one movie that really should be experienced on the big screen. While fleeing the T. Rex, Malcom mutters "Must go faster! Must go faster!" In Independence Day ID4 Goldblum's character says the same thing while escaping the mother ship. 😏
The velociraptor's (and related) sickle claw was not sharp along the inner surface. Instead of slashing, it would puncture flesh and get stuck. Scientists speculate it was used to pin down prey the way an eagle does.
My issue is where did that giant drop come from. The T Rex was walking on the other side of the fence right where the car went over the giant drop to the trees below. All the trees that were on the other side are now far below. Fantastic movie
it is one of the concrete moats that Hammond told the lawyer about (basically those huge cliff drops you see in like Lion exhibits at zoos to help contain animals). it is an optical illusion on film. the movie used a wide angled lens when the rex broke out which compresses distance and makes things look close together when they are not, it also messes with scaling of objects. in reality the rex pushed the kids over the cliff about 50 feet away from where it broke out on level ground. it has some issues with the height of trees but not with respect to the rex breaking out.
It's an admitted continuity error that has several unofficial fan based theories and diagrams on Jurassic Park sites to explain it using source information from the novels but they are not official and stills from the movie lines up side by side show they go over too close to both where the goat is and where the Trex makes the hole in the fence.
@@dneill8493 the height of the trees and perhaps the proximity to the goat is an error but not at all is it too close to where the rex broke out, which was right next to grant and malcolm...some 50 feet back from the kids. not aware of it being an officially admitted error, just "fan" sites and conjecture stating it is.
I remember reading somewhere that the Rex was supposed to have shoved the car further down the road so the spot they climbed over was not the same spot the Rex broke out from. I believe it is stated as such in the book though I haven't read it in a very long time. For whatever reason, the movie failed to show that part.
Trixie - "You can't control nature like that" Also Trixie - "You have all these genetics people, make then carnivores less dangerous, make them all herbivores" Lol Carnivores are a vital piece of the ecosystem, you start messing with it like that and it collapses. Out of control herbivore populations eat all the vegetation, they become fat and lazy not having to fight, evade or watch for predators, health issues will plague the populations, sort of like obesity in modern humans. Meat eating is awesome, healthy and necessary, I'm a bit of a carnivore.
Great to see you watching Jurassic Park/World. Jurassic World is a bit repetitative but still brings a new life to the franchise. The recent finale brings old and new cast together! Young Timmy is still an actor and played the bass player John Deacon in the recent Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody! After several films like JP and Tremors, Ariana Richards (Lex) turned her career to Fine Art and is now an established painter but still attends the conventions.
youre right, scientifically dinosaurs had more feathers and as Allen Grant said in the beginning, they had more in common with modern day birds than with reptiles. Velocorapters had feathers and actually weren't more than 3 feet tall.
It blows my mind that this girl has never seen big movies like JP. Not just her, but many other UA-camrs also. I guess I need to keep in mind that these people are much younger than me therefore they’re a different generation so they haven’t seen JP, Jaws, Star Wars ete
The dinosaurs in this movie are based more off of the "common knowledge" about dinosaurs of the public from the 90s. Obviously now we know a lot more about dinosaurs, and I think T Rex has better vision than we previously thought as well, and more dinosaurs have more feathers and colors. Still amazing technology that made these animatronics. Very cool movie.
"Aren't Velociraptors like...smaller?" Yes, when making the book Michael Crichton made the Deinonychus, but he named them the wrong thing and instead called them Velociraptors. The "Velociraptors" of the Jurassic Park series are basically just Deinonychus, but they're called the wrong thing. "You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will...breed?" "No I'm simply saying...life...finds a way." "Yeah what if...it doesn't necessarily breed but it...reproduces...somehow..." ... "It can't see us if we don't move." "The kid should know that!" Assuming the kid knew. I can't remember why the T-Rex can't see them in the movie if they don't move, but in the book it can't see them due to the Frog DNA in it since some things will "go invisible" to certain frogs if the creatures don't move in front of them for long enough. No amount of "knowing about Dinosaurs" would prepare someone for the genetic mutant defects of Jurassic Park's hybrid creatures.
Indeed, the Raptors in particular (And possibly the T-Rex as well; though this is still debated if adult T-Rex had feathers or not) should have had feathers to be accurate but since that theory was only starting to gain acceptance back in 1993, the makers of the movie went with a more tradition Lizard-like look for the Therapod (Two legged) Dinosaurs. However, there is a way to look at it and for the featherless Dinosaurs to still make sense in this story as the Dinos here are not 100% genetic copies of the originals but had part of their DNA supplemented by that of Frogs and, since frogs are after all feather-less, one could say that gene in these Dinos which is responsible for activating the growth of feathers was in one of those DNA gaps talked about in the movie and so when replace with the frog's equivalent, it remained inactive; and so the Jurassic Park Dinos never got the feathers that their ancestors assuredly had. 4:46 - Also correct: The movie changed many things about the Dinos so that it better fit the story they wanted to tell and a few details they simply didn't know because theories about them weren't up to today's knowledge (Which is normal); examples of that include that, the Velociraptors were nowhere has big as they are in the movie, that the T-Rex's vision was ''movement base'' was pure nonsense, the speed at which the T-Rex would run has been high contested throughout the years since and many more and it gets worse an worse with the following movies as they introduce new species of Donios while trying to up-stage the action/horror/drama of the previous movies (Not to mention that these movies constantly portrays the Carnivorous Dinosaurs as as having bottomless pits for stomachs and murderous singlemindedness on par with that of the Shark in the movie *Jaws* -The irony of which cannot be lost when one realizes that both are Steven Spielberg films and that he himself later became quite apologetic for said portrayal of the Shark and how it led to the late 20th century paranoia of them, something I have yet to here him voice regrets about Dinosaurs! But I guess, who voices regrets about defaming the dead?)
The thing about frog DNA and feathers was confirmed in the last film: near the end of the film, it shows dinosaurs whose DNA has been completely restored, and they have feathers.
"Not to mention that these movies constantly portrays the Carnivorous Dinosaurs as having bottomless pits for stomachs and murderous simple-mindedness on par with that of the Shark in the movie *Jaws* - " Exactly right. These movies (and the novels they were based on) turned misunderstood animals into "blood-thirsty monsters", which gave them a very bad reputation. And, the public just eats it all up without question. I, myself, made the same mistakes when I first saw these movies. But, after many years, I finally began to realize what these films have done. That's why I no longer hate these so-called "monsters". Great White Sharks are my favorite species of not just sharks, but all marine life in the ocean. And, I'm "in love" with the Raptors in this franchise. I don't mean that term in the romantic sense, of course. I'm just extremely obsessed with them, which is why I get very defensive when others still think of them the way I once did.
The original 1989 novel is much darker, graphic, and horror-inspired than the movie. Also characters are a bit different. Hammond is more greedy robber baron than well-meaning philanthropist, Grant and Sattler look nothing like Sam Neil or Laura Dern, Gennaro is actually helpful, Lex is an annoying toddler instead of a pre-teen, while Jeff Goldblum is pretty accurate to how Malcom is in the book. The "Raptors" in JP are based on Deinonichus anterrhopus, found in North America. Velociraptor mongliensis is found in Asia and is the size of a turkey. The novel says the scientists name the animals after wherever they got the amber from. They named them Velociraptors since the amber came from China despite very obviously being Deinonichus. There was also a group of paleontologists who tried renaming Deinonichus Velociraptor anterrhopus in the late 1980s, when Michael Crichton wrote the book. Both Crichton and Spielberg admit they kept the name Velociraptor since it sounds scarier. The T-Rex's rhino vision thing was disproven around the time the film came out with CT scans of tyrannosaurus skulls showing the vision center of the brain being large. It was partly influenced by the work of paleontologist Jack Horner, the consultant on the first 3 JP movies, who believed T-Rex was primarily a scavenger than a hunter due to the large olfactory cavities in the skull.
Lol lex isn't a toddler. Also Ellie was somewhat laura dern-ish in the novel. And Goldblum looks and acts nothing like the Malcolm from book besides being eccentric and having a taste for black clothing. also Deinonychus antirrhopus (but that's really a minor quibble, just informing you more than anything).
Nice reactions to the original Jurassic Park, Blue!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Computers were really that slow 30 years ago, a fraction the speed of today's computers. I was going to ask did you know that was Samuel L. jackson, but you saw it in the credits.
29:23 “you can’t hold it by yourself” followed later by “I can’t reach it (the gun) unless I move” Oh, you can move…your on the wrong side of the door to be doing any major help in providing any force against the door to keep it closed That or Tim could pass it over…?
When they say the age of dinosaurs ended 65 million years ago, they’re wrong, dinosaurs are still here today! Birds and crocodilians are examples of dinosaurs in our modern world.
Little correction, but Dinosaurs are crocodilians, not the other way around. It’s like pickles and cucumbers. All pickles are cucumbers but not all cucumbers are pickles.
Therapod dinosaurs like raptors and tyrannosaurus Rex had some feathers. The T-Rex had proto feathers and raptors probably had the something closer to actual feathers. Birds are theropod dinosaurs that survived.
1:00 Only SOME dinosaurs might have had feathers, not all of them, and most of them in these films did not have feathers in real life, that's a very speculative subject anyway and is mostly propagated by popular culture and should be taken with a grain of salt. The dinosaurs in this film are pretty accurate to real life! Also, the Velociraptor in this film is a larger American variant currently classified as Deinonychus, but at the time they classified it as Velociraptor.
Death explanation (with humour): Lawyer: greed never prospers Dennis: took a wrong turn Mr Arnold: never saw it coming Muldoon: should have paid more attention to Dr Grant
I watched it in the theaters on a date, perfect movie for the big screen. The dinosaurs were the stars but Jeff Goldblum stole many, many scenes and became iconic.
They did some subtle foreshadowing in the helicopter scene with the seat belt: his belt didn't connect because it had two "female" ends, but he made it work anyway...
After all these years I never noticed that 😯

7:35 "Welcome to Jurassic Park" that line gives me goosebumps every time Richard Attenborough was incredible in this
you’re one of the only reactors I’ve seen notice that great scene where they’re driving away from the T Rex chasing them and it shows the mirror with “objects in mirror are closer than they appear” lol. It’s great cinematic humor
I saw this in the theater when it was first released. That first reveal had me in tears. Like a dream come true...amazing.
Same
👌
My sister and I saw this three times in the theater. We took our mother. It was a must see for our family.
It always disapoints me when reactions cut the dinner scene when they talk about the ethics of the park. IMO, it's most important part of the entire movie, because it brings up very real questions and honestly the scene only becomes more and more important with time, because we see the things Malcom is worried about in this movie are real things that our own world needs to be questions on. "You're so preoccupied with wether or not you could, that you didn't stop to think if you should".
Yes, and no. We need to keep moving forward in some respects. Take for example 3D printing. We no whave the ability to 3D print organic tissue. They have already successfully printed and produced beating hearts.
Are there some dangers in that tech? Yes, but the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Take, for example, being in a horrible car accident or something. You lose a leg. Someday soon, it will be possible to.. Forget a prosthetic. We can just take some of your DNA and build you a new leg to replace the original one.
Now, it is important to be mindful of anything we do as a species.. But i've always found the arguements with regards to Juarassic Park a bit silly. Yes, they are "new" species from 65+ million years ago... But they're animals just the same. No different than any other Zoo where exotic and dangeorus animals are displayed to educatie the public.
@@OpenMawProductions I mean I wasn't strictly talking Genetics, so much as overall Science, as well as other aspects of our world only caring if something is possible and if it'll make money over if it's something they should actually do.
A prime example is Fracking, a process that is confirmed to do sever harm to the environment and been directly linked to causing earthquakes, yet our Goverment here in the UK is trying to push forward with it as it's a quick "solution" to the current gas and energy crisis, but long term it's going to do far more harm to the country.
@@Cherri_Bomb_01 Oh, totally. Absolutely. I would say with things like the energy crisis the problem is one of infrastructure and expense. I don't disagree with environmentalists on the idea that we need to move away from having our entire civilization based around limited, and harmful, energy sources. I do question the initial premise, I question the political motivations, and I question the methods that ere also suggested. The problem is that the message has been so militant, it has turned the other side where there were people willing to listen... It has turned them off completely. Many of my friends are uninterested in hearing about the technology advancedments made with, clean energy cars for example, or a lot of the futurist stuff going on with homes. Big problems there. Infrastructure doesn't exist. We *are* dependent on what we currently use. And the crazies more on the left are pushing with such fury and not considering the catastrophic economic issues... I'm for gradual transitioning. I think if the higher end neighborhoods and the private communities got switched over first, and then as we build new apartments and homes we build them to be energy indepedent... Then we'd start to see all of those older industries start the transition process. The technology still needs time to catch up and evolve.
it's actually my favourite scene, i like getting into ethical debates, and Malcolm brings up an extremely valid point, just because the could it doesn't mean they should
The book is definitely much more to the point about that. Highly recommend! There's a great narrator for it on audible.
Yeah, I remember reading about an incident in a large public aquarium, wherein one of the shark's tanks had been neglected, and missed being cleaned. Among the things usually removed were unfertilized eggs she laid. They realized it when suddenly they found baby sharks swimming around: The female was parthenogenic, and could create biological clones. They started exporting as many of her offspring to other aquariums right away, because, if you got one parthenogenic shark, soon enough you will have dozens!
That isn't what happened in Jurassic Park though.
Some of the dinosaurs were changing from female to male due to that ability from the frog DNA, and then mating like normal with the others, in order to reproduce.
This was far more impactful in 1993, when there was still some debate about dinosaurs being related to birds. Plus the technology was ground breaking. As a geology student back taking a paleontology class, it was pretty cool. There was also only one sketchy fossil from china that showed debatable feathers impressions attached to the skeleton back in the early 1990s.
I took the city bus by myself for the first time to see this movie in theaters when it came out. I was blown away. There had never been special effects this good back then.
The city bus had special effects? I thought they existed in real life ;)
As others have pointed out, while cases of feathered dinosaurs were known in the late 80's and early 90's, they were considered extremely rare. It's only in the last 25 years or so that more information has come to light that feathered dinosaurs were a much more common occurrence. It's also important to point out that while we now know many dinosaurs were covered in feathers, like dromaeosaurs/raptors, that's not to say that all dinosaurs were covered in feathers.
One good example is the Tyrannosaurus rex, which people often consider to have been covered in feathers. An extensive study, which was done only a few years ago, actually concluded that there is no evidence of T. rex having had feathers, at least not as an adult.
The justification for the dinosaurs in this movie looking the way they do is that they are not dinosaurs. They are genetic creations. More of a homage to the species they resemble than a actual clones, as they are mixed with frog DNA. So they have physical characteristics that don’t match their prehistoric counterparts.
"There is beautiful bits of that, if only you could contain the dangers."
You spoke truly, Trixy, you could be our narrator of some stories.
FUN FACT
When they climb through the ceiling, light shines through the PERFORATED ceiling tiles. BUT instead of little squares of light shining on the Raptor, the CGI wizards used the letters GATC which represents the 4 nucleotide molecules from which DNA is built😉
Damn, thank you, good man! I never noticed this before. It's damn cool!
Your face when the raptor comes at her in the bunker🤣🤣🤣 #priceless
Yes Blue, Velociraptors are much smaller than these, but have a cooler sounding name than the closest two species to the visual they wanted (Deinonychus and Utahraptor). Thus, everybody wrongly thinking that Velociraptors are not murder turkeys 😅
"murder turkeys" 😄
More recently discovered species the Dakotaraptor is closer in size to the movie Raptors.
@@argent-kestrel90 Achillobator is probably the most accurate representation. They are a bit heavy but they have a closer skull shape (dakota has a really narrow skull) and body size.
Anyone who has been chased by a pissed off Canadian Goose knows precisely how terrifying a flock of murder turkeys would be. I shudder to think...
Fun bit of Forshadowing: In the scene where Hammond is trying to convince them to come to the island behind him in the background partly covered by a plant there is a sign with big black text that reads " No animals released without paperwork completely filled out."
The dino's at the water,,,, wow,,, still gets me every time,,, and the t-rex attack,,, so well done, no music just the sounds , hats off.
0:29
Yes, that fictional reality where dinosaurs are real. Can you imagine?
5:53: “No! Not on the pie!” 😂🥧
Blue, Sam Neill (Dr. Grant) was once considered for Indiana Jones, and Harrison Ford was considered for Dr. Grant.
jurassic park was a second away from being a last crusade reunion. as ford and sean connery were strongly considered for roles in it.
Fun fact: When the rex smashed through the glass on top of the Explorer, the screams of the kids were real screams of fear. The animatronic rex head came in to hard/fast and legit broke the glass. It was just supposed to knock the glass down where they would "catch" it and hold it while the rex head "nuzzled" it but it broke instead scaring the shit out of the kid actors. And of coarse, because their real fear added realism to the shot it was the take used.
The animatronic T-Rex (Roberta) malfunctioned several times in the rain, I believe that was part of the reason why she came in too hot on that glass roof?
One of the reasons why they say CGI is safer than practical effects… but CGI will never beat practical.
Ian Malcolm is one of the bravest. Imagine deliberately getting a T-Rex to chase you to protect others.
Yeah lol chased Rexy right towards the really mean old weenie lawyer guy who selfishly abandoned the poor kids he's sitting on the toilet 😥 whoops 🤭 Cronch Rexy She bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy before eating him up it was actually pretty funny looking would you agree with me?
Yes velociraptor is a smaller dino (about the size of chickens) but that wouldn't give quite the same screen presence.
The raptors here are more akin in size to deinonychus.
To quote Malcolm "why do they always go bigger?"
After the film came out they did find a critter they named Utharaptor, about the size of the raptors in the film.
Well, larger than chickens. Around 3ft in length. Closer in size to a large turkey or harpy eagle.
I remember the first time I saw the feathers on dinosaurs thing on the front cover of a science magazine in about '96 or '97, a few years after this came out. Some people retcon the reptile issue by saying its a byproduct of the frog genes that they talk about in the little DNA guy explanation part.
I really need those decoration. The cat, the saturn, the ET and the butterfly. so cute 😭
Jurassic Park Amazing 🤩 and hey that restroom scene where the really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids he's hidden sitting on the toilet Sweating it 😥 and Rexy 🦖 She found him and bites him up shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy lol it's actually kinda funny looking wouldn't you agree?
31:10 “did the one break free from the fridge?”
No, that’s the one Ellie trapped in the power room when she ran away after turning the fences etc back on, when speaking with Alan in the bunker when grant asks “just the two raptors right? Are you sure the third one is contained?”
“Yes, unless they’ve figured out how to open doors”
We then get shown a raptor opening the kitchen door. The freezer got LOCKED, so this is the one from the power bunker, further implied by the shot of Ellie’s face looking up and seeing it come inside
and through the trailer for the new 'JP: Survival' game, we see the freezer opening after the events of the movie. So Randy will be still around for the game which is set immediately after/during the events of JP1993. Good thing the Rex killed the beast though
Some things regarding dinosaurs were only discovered after the movie, so small changes were made to subsequent sequels.
Everyone is _so_ critical of Lex turning on the flashlight.
She's panicking. *You'd* (everyone, I mean) would panic too.
A dear friend went swimming, in a cage, with great white sharks. When one swam peacefully next to her...she started hyperventilating, clamored back on board, and vomited all over the deck. I would *never* make fun of her for this, 'cause...there be dragons. Until you meet one face-to-face...don't judge.
Maybe I'd keep my cool...maybe I'd poo my pants and turn on a flashlight. I dunno.
Yeah, there were a couple inaccuracies in the movie, raptor size was one but... dinos in the modern world sort of cancels out the "artistic license taken.
The idea that dinos had feathers is a recent one too. "In my day dinosaurs were lizards" and all that.
Plane ticket: $1000, genetically engineering dinos several million... The look on your face when the raptor showed up in the power room... priceless. :)
And you skipped the review: "Mr. Hammond after careful consideration I've decided NOT to endorse your park." One of my fav lines.
Plus the fact that, with the differences in temperatures and oxygen levels in today’s world, those dinosaurs would have had a hard time surviving. That T-rex would have had to stop every couple steps to catch his breath.
We have another Dino lover here ^^ you are half right about the fact that Dinosaurs used to have feathers, some had some not, more depending on the species. But I think during the time the film was already produced they first found some fossils with fossilised feathers, which indicated taht there were indeed Dinos with feathers. And the movies after that were probably more like " yeah they look cooler withouth feathers or its just easier to animate XD "
And the in-universe explanation of "that's the frog genes" keeps it relevant to modern science.
Thoughts about how dinosaurs appeared were undergoing a revolution while this movie was made, but at the time they had just decided on wild coloring. The concept of feathered dinosaurs came a couple years later. The field went through a lot of changes at that time in terms of understanding.
Some feathered dinosaurs had been found, like Archaeopteryx, which was discovered as far back as the 1800's, but at the time the movie was being made feathered dinosaurs were considered rare and were seen more as missing links between dinosaurs and birds. It wasn't until the late 90's that we started finding more and more fossils of feathered dinosaurs, which changed the historical narrative to one where we now understand that feathers were a much more common occurrence, and could be found in species that weren't considered 'missing links' as well.
Saw this in 1993, opening weekend when I was 11 years old :)
Best weekend ever. Nothing has ever come close to this movie.
My generation's Star Wars moment.
I love the Rex escape scene.
If you listen to Malcolm when Grant shouts "Ian FREEZE!"
He screams back "Get the kids!"
Grant shouts to get rid of the flare... and Malcolm's response again is simply "Get the kids!"
He's fully prepared to place himself in danger, even sacrifice himself for the lives of children.
Malcolm's awesome.
Before Speilberg took the reins and made the movie, James Cameron, Richard Donner, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered for Directing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Alec Baldwin,Tom Selleck, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Dylan McDermott, and Tom Sizemore were considered for Alan Grant.

Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox and Bill Paxton were considered for Ian Malcolm.
Brian Cox, Geoffrey Rush, Bob Hoskins, and Jeffrey Jones were considered for Robert Muldoon.
Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando and Jon Pertwee were considered for John Hammond.
The film was a box office and critical success making $1 billion dollars ($1.8 billion dollars today) against a $65 million dollar budget.
It's now considered to be one of the greatest Sci-fi movies ever made.
Yikes! Tim Burton? That would have made for an interesting movie.
spielberg was really the only one considered. Spielberg and Crichton had a gentleman's agreement after Crichton spoke to him about the novel before it ever went up for bidding.
Also it didn't make a billion on its initial release. it is 1 billion after its cumulative release and re-releases. it made just over 900 million in 1993-94 and then 100 million+ more in the re-issues since then.
If you want to see and hear the closest living things to dinosaurs, find videos of the cassowary and emu. They are descendants of therapod dinosaurs (which included T. Rex and velociraptors). They make deep growling sounds and hiss as well. They use the long claws on their feet to attack in a similar manner to velociraptors.
4:45, you are totally correct, Velociraptors were the size of big dogs or turkey like the kid says, but they were still extremely vicious, and their claw was that same size. Imagine being attacked by a vicious dog with that foot claw. They almost certainly had feathers to be like an ostrich, so still scary, but not like they are in the film.
Welcome to Jurassic Park.
The idea of dinosaurs having feathers is a recently accepted one. 4:44 HOLY SHIT YES! They sized them up more like the size of the Utahraptor for the sake of creative license. You're the first person I've seen react to this movie call that out. That just earned so many cool points. Kudos. 29:36 "THIS IS SO SLOW!" Welcome to computers in 1993 lol.

When the girl gets excited about CD-ROM in the Jeeps... that would've been a real reaction back then 😂
Someone back in the day wrote a file manager for Unix that took inspiration from the one in Jurassic Park. It was very very slow partially because graphic acceleration wasn't much a thing back then.
You have to give Spielberg major props because while making this movie he was also doing a lot of production work on another movie Schindler's List at the same time. He would often approve set design and gave scene approval and direction from Poland. Talk about keeping many plates spinning simultaneously
It blows my mind that people out there have never seen these movies like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Jaws etc. I guess I need to keep in mind that these UA-camrs are much younger than me, so they’re a different generation therefore they haven’t seen all of these HUGE movies
He can certainly walk and chew gum while creating masterpieces.
Velociraptors ARE normally smaller, you're absolutely correct, but when the original story first began getting worked on, Deinonychus was still considered a type of Velociraptor, which is why they're digging one up in North America and not China. The ones in this movie are slightly upscaled animals based on Deinonychus.
Ironically, Utah Raptor was discovered during the movie's creation. Bigger and heavier than the animals in this movie, though. Still, it was almost like the creative processes of making the film willed the Utah Raptor into existence.
LOL HER FACE IN THE THUMBNAIL!
One of my favorite movies ever 🧡... and the theme song always makes me emotional. This movie was pretty scary when I saw it as a kid in the 90s. Great reaction as always 😍!
It's the good old days when Jurassic Park could still be classified as a horror movie.
The T Rex manages to max out his sneak skill by the end of the movie.
i honestly LOVE jurassic park...it's a perfect example of chaos theory...which is why Dr Ian Malcolm, the chaotician, says some of the most notable lines in the series like "life will find a way". for those not familiar with chaos theory it means "shit happens" it's complicated but basically it is the belief that if you tempt fate by leaving the possibility for things to happen open...the likely hood is THEY WILL happen. so here we have a dangerous park filled with "dinosaurs", minimal staff n security, tour cars that only run on electricity...the security guy runs off and shut everything down...a freak storm is on the way...well...this couldn't get any worse...or could it...
YESS trixie one of my favourite franchises of all time so glad your reacting to these films you’ll love all of em x
T-Rex probably had excellent vision. It’s eyes were forward facing and the size of softballs.
If u enjoyed Jeff Goldblum as Dr Malcolm then earlier in his career he played another scientist in the film "The Fly"..... there's definitely a character arch😉
I saw this in the theater 7 times! I think there's no doubt this ranks as one of my all-time favorite films.
At the time when the movie was made, the popular depiction of Dinosaurs were Giant Lizards. No we know that many did have feathers, and some, like the Triceratops had Rhino-like hide. The T-Rex was believed to have feathers, until recently when a facilized imprint of T-Rex skin was found and it looked to be more reptilian. The Rex also is believed to have amazing eyesight, an incredible sense of smell, and judging from scans of the brain cavity, extreme intelligence, roughly that of a Chimp... and they are believed to have hunted in packs.
T-Rex may have hunted in packs? Honestly being chased by multiple T-Rex's sounds a lot more scarier then getting chased by a pack of raptors.
In the book Crichton had a character explain afterwards that the raptors did not behave like real dinosaurs because not all their behaviour was instinctive but much was learned and they had no one to
learn from
Truly one of my favorite movies with absolute best scenes.
"God creates dinosaurs,
God destroys dinosaurs,
God creates man,
man destroys God,
man creates dinosaurs,
dinosaurs eat man,
woman inherits the earth."
That's my grand favorite scene.
this was well before the consensus on feathers, but hinted HEAVILY on the hypothesis
Seeing this movie in the theater was just a amazing experience, not the first movie to use CGI and practical effects but certainly not on this giant scale. The shot of the T-Rex coming out of the fence still looks amazing.
The Archaeopteryx is the one with feathers and had the ability of flight during the Jurassic period and up to the Cretatous period, then 70 million years later true birds were formed.
I've probably watched 20 react channels do this movie and you are the FIRST I've heard mention the humor of the standard text on the mirror "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" in that moment when the T-rex is chasing them lol.
In 1993, the world had never seen anything like. It was an Avengers Endgame like moment when that T-Rex makes its entrance.
So glad Trixy got that velociraptors are smaller in real life. They're actually about the height of a turkey, and the dinosaurs we've been led to believe are velociraptors are actually deinonychus. The book actually explains in canon why this is, but that was one of the more important things that the movies missed in their adaptations. Basically Michael Creighton thought velociraptor sounded cooler, which it does, so he made up an excuse that the Jurassic Park scientist were so preoccupied with producing as many dinosaurs as quickly as they could to get the park ready and this caused mistakes like getting names wrong. I guess the movie's version of this was renaming John Arnold to Ray Arnold so audience members would get him confused with John Hammond. There's tons of interesting behind the scenes facts and stories for the books and movies.
Actually Crichton used velociraptor antirrhopus instead of Deinonychus antirrhopus because one of his sources was a paleoartist named Greg Paul who lumped Deinon into Velociraptor at the time in a wild bid to change classification of dinosaurs. Paul was then used to consult on the film (his artwork is seen early on in the movie). Crichton told Ostrom (the discoverer of deinonychus) that he was going with Paul's name because he liked it more and apologized.
The book actually states that the species was "Velociraptor antirrhopus", meaning that it wasn't a mistake on InGen's part in the novelverse, that was the name of Deinonychus in it. Unless Grant is guilty of mislabeling species as well.
Also Ray Arnold is still John Arnold in this universe technically. Ray is his "middle name".
My dad met the kid who played Tim. He had to drive him to the set of a movie he was working on, I believe it was called Starkid. My dad said that he was very shy.
Joseph Mazzello, who went on to play John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody, and is almost an exact look-alike of him too.
Wow. I don't even consider myself old, but I think you're the first person to mention in one of these react-vids that "dinosaurs should have feathers." Bravo. Somebody's been paying attention!
After that weekend, Tim and Lex will need heaps of therapy, but no bully will ever be able to get a reaction out of them after what they've been through.
Of the several hundreds of comments I've read, no one seems to mention dinosaurs probably wouldn't have been able to breathe our air. Theirs contained far more CO2. Who knows what the extra oxygen would have done to them. It's also unlikely they would recognise a single plant, or suitable prey for that matter. Aside from that it's a wonderful scifi-horror fantasy in every way, and will always be one of my favourites.
Yay! Blue! You caught one of the earliest flaws in this movie. Velociraptors were not anywhere near a meter and a half or 2 meters tall. NOW I get to see how many other catches you get early on.
You were quick on the amphibian (frog) DNA observation about reproduction, when they found the eggs, you were ahead of the exposition there. [I knew you were attentive and intuitive]
I will say, the electricians I know, would say "volts hurt, amps kill" a reference to high voltage, low amperage being much safer to deal with than high amperage at much lower voltages. A car battery only runs 12 volts, but can output hundreds of amperes in a fast discharge. It just drains the battery very fast. I have personally, willingly, taken over a thousand volts through my hand testing a "hot wire" fence (a fence that is designed to shock an animal that tries to cross it) for the purpose of verifying the charger is functioning and to determine where the short is. (If I get a hard shock, the short isn't near me, if I get a mild shock, I'm near the short, if I feel nothing, the short is between me and the charger. [This is done using the scientific principle of ppace my wrist on the fence and then lower the back of my hand to the "hot wire" do the reaction of the muscles will be to convulse away from the energy, to ensure i don't get "locked" on the wire, but offers a path that can be more conductive if I'm not close to the short] simple science, the charger output less than half an ampere. It is explicitly designed to be u comfortable not dangerous, and would cycle every few seconds. Useful for ensuring animals stay where they are supposed to, because they learn "don't touch that, it bites")
Ever seeing Airplane and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off in the 80s, I always check to see if there’s a scene after the credits.
"Aaawww, he had a dream..." Yeah and he spared no expense

I went to Epcot in 1985 and the early ride to see the dino DNA science reminded me strongly of it.
That's a real treat... I was 5 when i watched for the First time... Nightmare on nightmare
This and its immediate sequel, The Lost World, are adapted from the Michael Crichton novels of the same name. After those are Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World Dominion, the short film Battle at Big Rock and the Netflix animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous
'adapted...' the first movie was decently adapted, many of the changes seemingly due to budgetary constraints at the time. for example, the raptors, there was 3 in the movie, but in the book they knew of 8, and later found out there was nearly thirty of them running around the island..
But the lost world... brutal.. The main protagonist of the book wasn't even in the movie. And no, as far as I recall, there (partial spoiler ahead), there were no dinos in america.
@@endarkens7557, much of the graphic violence and brutal kills from the novels were significantly cut down or removed entirely, as was most of the swearing. If the movies were more faithful to their novel counterparts, they'd be R rated horror films
Nile crocodiles do the same thing the ones in Chicago when I saw them almost 20 years ago were being fed from the ceiling because they were waiting for the keepers at the doors on either side and every time, they were being fed the croc's were going for the people instead. Salt water crocodiles have also been known to watch and learn patterns which is why if you ever go to a country where they live your told not to do the same thing day after day near the water because if you happen to be watched it will be waiting for you around day 3.
WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK!
"I have no food on me." Dino: You got that juicy booty on your back, big fella. That's plenty of good eating 😐😂
The other ones are about people not learning their lesson, and having to learn them over again.
This is one movie that really should be experienced on the big screen.
While fleeing the T. Rex, Malcom mutters "Must go faster! Must go faster!" In Independence Day ID4 Goldblum's character says the same thing while escaping the mother ship. 😏
The girl that played Lex was my first movie star crush. Jurassic Park is in my top 5 favorites of all time. Excellent choice for a reaction 👍👍
Trixy is so chill
The velociraptor's (and related) sickle claw was not sharp along the inner surface. Instead of slashing, it would puncture flesh and get stuck. Scientists speculate it was used to pin down prey the way an eagle does.
A lot of therapods had feathers. Adult Tyrannosaurs didn't, but they were born with them and shed them.
My issue is where did that giant drop come from. The T Rex was walking on the other side of the fence right where the car went over the giant drop to the trees below. All the trees that were on the other side are now far below.
Fantastic movie
it is one of the concrete moats that Hammond told the lawyer about (basically those huge cliff drops you see in like Lion exhibits at zoos to help contain animals). it is an optical illusion on film. the movie used a wide angled lens when the rex broke out which compresses distance and makes things look close together when they are not, it also messes with scaling of objects. in reality the rex pushed the kids over the cliff about 50 feet away from where it broke out on level ground. it has some issues with the height of trees but not with respect to the rex breaking out.
It's an admitted continuity error that has several unofficial fan based theories and diagrams on Jurassic Park sites to explain it using source information from the novels but they are not official and stills from the movie lines up side by side show they go over too close to both where the goat is and where the Trex makes the hole in the fence.
@@dneill8493 the height of the trees and perhaps the proximity to the goat is an error but not at all is it too close to where the rex broke out, which was right next to grant and malcolm...some 50 feet back from the kids.
not aware of it being an officially admitted error, just "fan" sites and conjecture stating it is.
I remember reading somewhere that the Rex was supposed to have shoved the car further down the road so the spot they climbed over was not the same spot the Rex broke out from. I believe it is stated as such in the book though I haven't read it in a very long time. For whatever reason, the movie failed to show that part.
Utahraptor goes up to 2.10 Meters..sorry i cant hold it back😂
Trixie - "You can't control nature like that"
Also Trixie - "You have all these genetics people, make then carnivores less dangerous, make them all herbivores" Lol
Carnivores are a vital piece of the ecosystem, you start messing with it like that and it collapses. Out of control herbivore populations eat all the vegetation, they become fat and lazy not having to fight, evade or watch for predators, health issues will plague the populations, sort of like obesity in modern humans.
Meat eating is awesome, healthy and necessary, I'm a bit of a carnivore.
Great to see you watching Jurassic Park/World. Jurassic World is a bit repetitative but still brings a new life to the franchise. The recent finale brings old and new cast together! Young Timmy is still an actor and played the bass player John Deacon in the recent Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody! After several films like JP and Tremors, Ariana Richards (Lex) turned her career to Fine Art and is now an established painter but still attends the conventions.
However, I recommend you read the book, it explains much better many points that have been cut in the film ... it's worth it!
youre right, scientifically dinosaurs had more feathers and as Allen Grant said in the beginning, they had more in common with modern day birds than with reptiles. Velocorapters had feathers and actually weren't more than 3 feet tall.
This was a wild movie when it first came out. The second one was ok. The third one I did enjoy more than the second. Great reaction video Blue.
I watched this in the cinema when it first came out, I was 9.
One of my favorite movies
How did Grant miss a 7ft tall turkey when all he had to do was shoot through the glass? 🤔😂
I used to be terrified of this movie when I was lil, the frill neck Dino scared the living heck out of me same with the Trex breaking out
It blows my mind that this girl has never seen big movies like JP. Not just her, but many other UA-camrs also. I guess I need to keep in mind that these people are much younger than me therefore they’re a different generation so they haven’t seen JP, Jaws, Star Wars ete
The dinosaurs in this movie are based more off of the "common knowledge" about dinosaurs of the public from the 90s. Obviously now we know a lot more about dinosaurs, and I think T Rex has better vision than we previously thought as well, and more dinosaurs have more feathers and colors. Still amazing technology that made these animatronics. Very cool movie.
"Aren't Velociraptors like...smaller?"
Yes, when making the book Michael Crichton made the Deinonychus, but he named them the wrong thing and instead called them Velociraptors. The "Velociraptors" of the Jurassic Park series are basically just Deinonychus, but they're called the wrong thing.
"You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will...breed?"
"No I'm simply saying...life...finds a way."
"Yeah what if...it doesn't necessarily breed but it...reproduces...somehow..."
...
"It can't see us if we don't move."
"The kid should know that!"
Assuming the kid knew. I can't remember why the T-Rex can't see them in the movie if they don't move, but in the book it can't see them due to the Frog DNA in it since some things will "go invisible" to certain frogs if the creatures don't move in front of them for long enough. No amount of "knowing about Dinosaurs" would prepare someone for the genetic mutant defects of Jurassic Park's hybrid creatures.
Indeed, the Raptors in particular (And possibly the T-Rex as well; though this is still debated if adult T-Rex had feathers or not) should have had feathers to be accurate but since that theory was only starting to gain acceptance back in 1993, the makers of the movie went with a more tradition Lizard-like look for the Therapod (Two legged) Dinosaurs. However, there is a way to look at it and for the featherless Dinosaurs to still make sense in this story as the Dinos here are not 100% genetic copies of the originals but had part of their DNA supplemented by that of Frogs and, since frogs are after all feather-less, one could say that gene in these Dinos which is responsible for activating the growth of feathers was in one of those DNA gaps talked about in the movie and so when replace with the frog's equivalent, it remained inactive; and so the Jurassic Park Dinos never got the feathers that their ancestors assuredly had.
4:46 - Also correct: The movie changed many things about the Dinos so that it better fit the story they wanted to tell and a few details they simply didn't know because theories about them weren't up to today's knowledge (Which is normal); examples of that include that, the Velociraptors were nowhere has big as they are in the movie, that the T-Rex's vision was ''movement base'' was pure nonsense, the speed at which the T-Rex would run has been high contested throughout the years since and many more and it gets worse an worse with the following movies as they introduce new species of Donios while trying to up-stage the action/horror/drama of the previous movies (Not to mention that these movies constantly portrays the Carnivorous Dinosaurs as as having bottomless pits for stomachs and murderous singlemindedness on par with that of the Shark in the movie *Jaws* -The irony of which cannot be lost when one realizes that both are Steven Spielberg films and that he himself later became quite apologetic for said portrayal of the Shark and how it led to the late 20th century paranoia of them, something I have yet to here him voice regrets about Dinosaurs! But I guess, who voices regrets about defaming the dead?)
The thing about frog DNA and feathers was confirmed in the last film: near the end of the film, it shows dinosaurs whose DNA has been completely restored, and they have feathers.
@@Silvia_Arienti Cool, thanks! I didn't watch the other films beyond *Jurassic World* as I thoroughly disliked it.
"Not to mention that these movies constantly portrays the Carnivorous Dinosaurs as having bottomless pits for stomachs and murderous simple-mindedness on par with that of the Shark in the movie *Jaws* - "
Exactly right. These movies (and the novels they were based on) turned misunderstood animals into "blood-thirsty monsters", which gave them a very bad reputation. And, the public just eats it all up without question. I, myself, made the same mistakes when I first saw these movies. But, after many years, I finally began to realize what these films have done. That's why I no longer hate these so-called "monsters".
Great White Sharks are my favorite species of not just sharks, but all marine life in the ocean. And, I'm "in love" with the Raptors in this franchise. I don't mean that term in the romantic sense, of course. I'm just extremely obsessed with them, which is why I get very defensive when others still think of them the way I once did.
The original 1989 novel is much darker, graphic, and horror-inspired than the movie. Also characters are a bit different. Hammond is more greedy robber baron than well-meaning philanthropist, Grant and Sattler look nothing like Sam Neil or Laura Dern, Gennaro is actually helpful, Lex is an annoying toddler instead of a pre-teen, while Jeff Goldblum is pretty accurate to how Malcom is in the book.
The "Raptors" in JP are based on Deinonichus anterrhopus, found in North America. Velociraptor mongliensis is found in Asia and is the size of a turkey. The novel says the scientists name the animals after wherever they got the amber from. They named them Velociraptors since the amber came from China despite very obviously being Deinonichus. There was also a group of paleontologists who tried renaming Deinonichus Velociraptor anterrhopus in the late 1980s, when Michael Crichton wrote the book. Both Crichton and Spielberg admit they kept the name Velociraptor since it sounds scarier.
The T-Rex's rhino vision thing was disproven around the time the film came out with CT scans of tyrannosaurus skulls showing the vision center of the brain being large. It was partly influenced by the work of paleontologist Jack Horner, the consultant on the first 3 JP movies, who believed T-Rex was primarily a scavenger than a hunter due to the large olfactory cavities in the skull.
Lol lex isn't a toddler. Also Ellie was somewhat laura dern-ish in the novel. And Goldblum looks and acts nothing like the Malcolm from book besides being eccentric and having a taste for black clothing. also Deinonychus antirrhopus (but that's really a minor quibble, just informing you more than anything).
Nice reactions to the original Jurassic Park, Blue!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Computers were really that slow 30 years ago, a fraction the speed of today's computers. I was going to ask did you know that was Samuel L. jackson, but you saw it in the credits.
29:23 “you can’t hold it by yourself” followed later by “I can’t reach it (the gun) unless I move”
Oh, you can move…your on the wrong side of the door to be doing any major help in providing any force against the door to keep it closed
That or Tim could pass it over…?
When they say the age of dinosaurs ended 65 million years ago, they’re wrong, dinosaurs are still here today! Birds and crocodilians are examples of dinosaurs in our modern world.
Little correction, but Dinosaurs are crocodilians, not the other way around. It’s like pickles and cucumbers. All pickles are cucumbers but not all cucumbers are pickles.
Birds are dinosaurs. ✔️
Crocodiles are NOT dinosaurs. ❌
Therapod dinosaurs like raptors and tyrannosaurus Rex had some feathers. The T-Rex had proto feathers and raptors probably had the something closer to actual feathers. Birds are theropod dinosaurs that survived.
1:00 Only SOME dinosaurs might have had feathers, not all of them, and most of them in these films did not have feathers in real life, that's a very speculative subject anyway and is mostly propagated by popular culture and should be taken with a grain of salt. The dinosaurs in this film are pretty accurate to real life! Also, the Velociraptor in this film is a larger American variant currently classified as Deinonychus, but at the time they classified it as Velociraptor.
Death explanation (with humour):
Lawyer: greed never prospers
Dennis: took a wrong turn
Mr Arnold: never saw it coming
Muldoon: should have paid more attention to Dr Grant
I watched it in the theaters on a date, perfect movie for the big screen. The dinosaurs were the stars but Jeff Goldblum stole many, many scenes and became iconic.
So Excited when I got this Notification 💙💙💙
You singing the theme song at the start was great.
😁👍
29:42 “don’t leave the gun there”
Why not…by that point he was out of ammo…
