Honestly, as nonsensical as the Rex appearing at the end was, the alternative was WAY worse. Originally, the raptors were going to killed by being impaled on the collapsing dinosaur bones, but Spielberg realized how anti climactic that was and decided to bring the T-Rex back because he knew that the T-Rex had to have one final hurrah. He couldn't just have it destroy a car, chase a jeep, and eat a gallimimus and not have all that lead up to something.
One - storyboarded but never filmed - ending had Hammond save them from the last 'raptor, by shooting it from the doorway. In theory the ending made great sense, as it shows him taking first hand responsibility for dealing with his wayward creation's, whilst still being saddened that it had come to it. (would've given his last look back at the park before having to board the helicopter more weight too) That said: the Rexy ending is more exciting.
fwwaller There was also two Rex’s in the book. They picked the biggest one to show off as the star attraction, but there was a second adolescent rex as well with its own kill scene.
@@jimtaylor294 its a shame the rex ending is two big for them to have done a double an extra raptor or dino for one final shock that lets hammond have his end too would have been nice but with how big and surprising rexxy's save is both would have clashed with the other a bit too much than just using one... so hey. you have a trex may aswell use it right?. perhaps maybe that they were going for a more fun movie with just the undertones of other things influenced the more exciting but less thought provoking end... well other than the thoughts usually associated with the rex entrance/save lol.
About the Raptor eggs, the area that Grant and the kids were heading through was apparently in the old paddock that the Raptors had been kept in before they were moved to the high quarantee pen(as seen in the opening scene). So they had basically been breeding long before Grant and company were even approached by Hammond to come inspect the island. Good review. Even for it's obvious faults this film has a special place in my heart both for the original concept conceived by Michael Crichton and the sheer atmosphere of the world. Even the inaccuracy of the "retrosaurs" actually makes sense in that they're designed by committee like any man made theme park attraction would be. The only difference is that, well, they're actually living organisms in-universe which makes them unique. They exist to meet the expectations of the late 80's/earlier 90's public. And the public got what it expected, a kickass presentation and a classic movie.
Nedry couldn't wait around for his shift to be over...he had to get the embryos back to the mainland before the coolant inside the shaving cream can ran out. Dodgson said he had 36 hours to get the embryos back to San Jose.
RetroGamerAaron His death was also way darker in the book. With a properly sized Dilophosauris, has no frillbut did spit poison. It was described as frothy bubbly and white, tingling the skin mildly but then blinded him completely within a matter of moments in the eyes. He then fell over and the creature picked up his head in its jaws, lifted him up and sliced open his belly with its foreclaws. It then went into detail about Nedry feeling his own intestines slipping from his belly and begging it to end quickly. Twas a brutal scene.
The reason for Nedry being in a rush was because he had to be at the boat by a specific time, we see this when he calls a dock worker who tells him he's running out of time and they need to get the boat going ASAP.
In the defense of the movie, Deinonychus was reclassified as Velociraptor.... before they changed it back. By then both books were out and the second movie was in production.
Velociraptors of Skyrim Yeah, trying to read up (spent longer researching the movie than I did watching it.. oy, so much to dig through!) on that, there was talk back and forth that some thought Deinonychus was Velociraptor, or they were in the same branch or the like... and that Michael Crichton got the two mixed up when he wrote the book, or.. someone else.. it's a bit hard to figure out which one is the most accurate account. In any case, I think it's safe to say that people done fucked up.
Decker Shado The animal was reclassified as Velociraptor because they were so similar, despite being bigger. One guy said it looked like a Velociraptor that was human sized.
I am aware that this could of been brought up already but I did not go through all the comments to see. The reason Nedry was "running" was not because he was fleeing the island, though in a way he was. He was trying to reach the last boat off the island. He had one of Dodgson's men on the boat to hand off the Shaving Cream storage container to (We see him talking to someone on his computer, "got to give me 15 minutes' line). So it was a race to the boat to get the container to the person so he could get the other half of his money. So turning off all the fences allowed him to by pass all the electric fence locks (like an airlock type gimmick) that we see him having to open. The park did not have those security fences powered by a different power source. They were powered through the fence itself. So turning off the fence left the electric fence locks unpowered and easy to open.
About the CGI... Let's not forget that it's been a lifetime, literally, since it came out... In 1993! I mean it looked so real back then. T2 and JP are waaaaayyyyyyy ahead of their time!
Rexy should gotten her spin-off solo movie and just be 1 hour 45 minutes of Rexy just stomping around New York City causing chaos, and destruction and eating people, basically 1 hour and 45 minutes of non stop dinosaur action.
I have to wonder: if ON switch is far away from the control center and dangerously close to raptor pen....why didn't they first sent someone there with a radio BEFORE turning the system off? Like "I'm there. Let's do this", turns the power off, "Turn it back on", turns the power back on and raptors probably fry themselves to death while thinking that the fence is permanently off. The end.
Nedry had to leave because the ship wasn't going to wait for him due to the storm. You left out the part where he talked to the guy on the dock and asked for more time
There's also the fact that the cooling can (or whatever the fake Shaving Can was really) only had a limited time before it expired and the embryo's went bad.
At the time of the movies release, Deinonychus was considered subspecies of Velociraptor and honestly...could you pass on the name Velociraptor? “It sells itself” - Michael Crichton The same year the movie released; only a few months later in fact, the Utah-Raptor was discovered and they called it “Spielberg’s monster”
One thing that kind of bothered me was at around the point where they get the tour with the video, john has this onscreen john interacting with him and taking his dna right? Was this implying john would be the tour manager every single time??
Anyone notice that Tim could've slipped though the fence rather than climbing it and the distance that he travelled after being shocked was inconsistent to where Grant and his sister were standing
Over in Australia we actually have something like a six foot Turkey, its called the cassowary, averaging height being roughly 6.6 ft for the females and being labeled as the world's deadliest bird.
Decker: Why is there a toilet near the T-Rex area? It's a tour, remember? Supposedly, the cars were meant to stop in front of the T-Rex paddock to allow tourists to step out of their vehicles to take some photos of the creature or use the bathroom if they need too before moving on.
The first one is a classic, but I also really enjoy The Lost World. I'm genuinely curious as to what your opinion on it is. I think despite a few flaws, it is massively underrated.
To be fair, Hammond doesn't bribe Ellie and Grant - he's paying them to take important time away from their dig, not to give their eventual opinion/endorsement of the park.
@@jasonkreider8954 It's not a bribe. He doesn't say they have to endorse the park to receive the money, which *would* be a bribe. He only asks that they come along for the weekend to get the money.
To be fair on the whole wrong raptors and no feathers deal, Spielberg said he wanted to do the dinosaurs the way they are seen in the film as chicken sized feathered lizards are not the most terrifying of film monsters. As to clashes with the book the film began production while the book was still a manuscript and was well underway by the time it was published.
my paleontologist friend (who actually worked on Jurassic park!!!) says that the rain in the t-rex scene was a last minute decision and it messed with the robotics in the trex (it was a robot btw) so it actually moved without commands spooky huh? EDIT:i just remembered this:in the scene where the kids are trying to keep the trex from crushing them (at the start) they were actually struggling (for the previous reason why the trex was moving frantically)
They combined Genarro with another character in the book who was coward. Gennarro was actually a good guy in the book. Played catch with Lex, cared about the kids more than Hammond did.
The reason why jurassic park worked so well is because of Spielberg’s directing. Pure and simple. We’re almost always shown the dinosaurs from a human perspective which means as a viewer we connect with what we are seeing on screen. There are no gimmicks. The lost world, although a much flawed film was also similar. However the next 3 films all lost that sense of human perspective and therefore any credibility with what we are shown on screen. Jurassic Park is a masterpiece of film making that will never be replicated.
I laughed at that ninja comment decker made so much lol but I think grant was implying that once they have you on the floor they claw across the abdomen from the side. Then again Dr Wu is pinned by two raptors against the wall and the third disembowls him while he is semi-upright in the books so maybe ninja raptors where the intended dino
You can argue that these are not dinosaurs but the idea of dinosaurs that Dr. Wu and Hammond had because they were made for showmanship and not realism (The Flea Circus metaphor that Hammond was talking about.)
I remember watching this movie over and over during my childhood Edit: the jurassic park game from tall tail games actually explains why the contingency thing didn't work in the sequels because a scientist woman cured it i believe
The shotgun didn't jam, He just ran out of ammo. the shells they were using were slugs (Hence the bullet holes in the glass), and there was a severe lack of ammo on the island (Based on the book) The shotguns that WERE on the island had very VERY little ammo for them, as Hammond had built the park in a similar manner to a modern day zoo. He thought they wouldn't ever have to actually combat one of these animals, so there were more tranquilizer guns on the island than shotguns. The shotguns that were there were for emergencies only, as in "A raptor or dinosaur attacking a feeder or visitor."
Yeah, it's a fine country. But as far as I know, the haven't found any dinosaurs there. (Which doesn't exclude the possibility of something I don't know! 😀) From what I know, the closest is findings of Dromaeosauroides fossils in Denmark.
Yeah the mystery of the dinos getting off the island in the book was sort of important overall. The computer systems that were responsible for keeping tabs on the Dinos. Weren't designed to keep track of "the body count rising". Since they weren't supposed to be breeding. Just would alert if it dropped below a specific number. So the dinos breeding in the wild was ACTUALLY plot relevant. Because dinos were able to stowaway on ships without the computers alerting anyone.
Well actually the Brachiosaurus sneezing is relevant to the plot because it's showing that multiple dinosaurs are sick like the triceratops and Brachiosaurus so even if Jurassic Park didn't die the disease might have spread and all the dinosaurs would have died.
Maybe the reason why there's a "velociraptor" in Montana is because it's not a velociraptor. It's another dinosaurs that's in the raptor family, that lived in North America. That got misnamed because Hollywood thought velociraptor sounded cooler.
8:40 I've heard theories that the Triceratops is actually undergoing the transition from female to male and that's why she seems sick. The lilac berries are just a red herring and a homage to the book.
They are now canonically not raptor eggs that are shown, despite the two toed footprints eluding as much. In JP 2 there are documents that can be seen that state the current animals on the island as they sent a group to survey It too see if it had viable specimens to be captured for the San Diego park but after realising there weren't they went to Ilsa Sorna. Anyway those documents show that the sweep of the island found 3 raptor and their status is all deceased. Its widely believed in the fandom that the intention was for them to be baby raptors and use them to set up sequels but ultimately it was changed and the scene was just left in as it demonstrated the dinos were now breeding
I'm pretty sure there was only enough coolant in the can to last 36 hours, so Nedry had to get to the boat before it left. That's why he couldn't wait and steal the embryos nearer to the end of his shift, or stick around and hide in plain sight. In the book, they got the Lysine through supplements from the vets. For the later movies, when dinosaurs are living outside of the park despite not having these supplements, it's explained by them having lysine-rich diets (e.g. beans and chicken). The latter is not an easy theory to buy into, but it works in the context of Jurassic Park.
Oh okay, so in the book it's stuff like beans and chicken, but in the movie do they say the carnivores accessed lysine through eating herbivores? Fair enough. Kinda like when bioaccumulation happens :)
While I love Jurassic park more than any movie out of the 90's, since it was literally the best movie of my generation 1992-1993, I still respect his opinion. not everyone likes it. though I admit that drop where the T-rex came out of, made no sense
i.stack.imgur.com/BCpvr.jpg Thats a storyboard type thing from production that shows the lay of the land for the T-rex break out scene, as you can see the rex breaks out much further up than where the car falls off the cliff. This can be seen in film as when it breaks out and does its first roar it is actually between both the ford explorers. The above storyboard shows that Ford Explorer number four is the one to be pushed off the edge and during the initial flipping of the car it is actually pushed further up the road so that it is past the moat wall and that is where the drop off is that it is pushed off. This makes the whole scene now make sense but I still agree that the way the scene is shot leads the viewer to interpret that the car was pushed through the gap the Rex broke out of. However with the board in mind either think back to the scenes or watch them and you realise that its correct. The car flips on its roof, Lexi and Grant hide around the front of the car, the T-rex gives it an inquisitive nudge forward which takes it past the T-rex enclosures walls and ajacent to the moat, Lex and Alan slide around the side of the car to avoid the the T-rex with their backs now facing the drop of the Moat, Trex nudges the side of the car forcing them to climb down the moat.
They cover the Lysine in the second movie. They clearly state that the animals found a natural source for it. They also mention in the movie about the Triceratops and what made her ill.
Dude, despite the scientific inaccuracies, I still rate this baby 7.5/10. This was a staple in my childhood, and I loved watching this movie even as an adult. Richard Attenborough's John Hammond was my favorite guy, even though he funded the project to bring dinosaurs to life. I also agree, they should've used Avian and Reptilian DNA, I'm also having a hard time figuring out why they used Frog DNA? Other than because the Plot says so. I also wanna put out about the dino sounds, like the real T-Rex's sounds are arguably scarier than this movie's iconic roar, the infrasounds (which is low frequency) where the Rex doesn't have to open its jaws to create sound, and its vibration is powerful enough to shake your core. My point being, I'm crossing my fingers some form of media will actually learn from Paleontology and give these extinct species the dignity of at least semi-accurate portrayals. Though I did take one good thing of note from this movie, how to use animatronics with CGI, rather than completely going with CGI, or completely going with animatronics. I figure why not use both, like have the CGI make the animatronic look more lifelike, or cover up some flaws in the animatronic (i.e. TMNT 90's with the double mouths scene with Donatello). Special effects should be utilized in a grand way, not just be used in half-ass pursuits for a quick buck.
Ben Bilbrey no I think he just meant it wasn’t one of the bigger carnivores like the T-Rex or Velociraptors. If he knew what the Dilophosaurus was he wouldn’t have tried to play fetch with it 🙄
There's a reason for the filler. They were going to film Samuel L. Jackson's death scene, but thanks to a hurricane were unable to. So they went with the filler instead.
I believe they established that Nedry dashed out so quickly when he was on the phone to the guy by the boat who said "If he says we gotta go, we gotta go" Nedry tried to persuade him for extra time and the guy responded with "No promises"
I just realized the T-Rex in these films are FAR larger than they should be..for dramatic effect of course. But yeah, that's the least of one's nitpicks when it comes to scientific accuracy.
11:24 I'm sure this has been explained but that spot is actually several jeep lengths away from where the T-Rex walked out of the enclosure. When the Rex spun the Jeep around, Grant and Lex moved with it. The cliff is the barrier between the Rex paddock and the paddock next to it. The scene is incongruous but the geography makes sense.
A little fact about the trex smashing into the car window. when the glass broke, it snapped off the animatronics tooth and in JW and JWFK, the cgi Rex has a missing tooth, even in JP Evolution.
Decker Shado Are you going to review Carnosaur? I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be goofy or serious, and the puppets were "meh" at best, but it's still cheesy fun.
I'm gonna correct a issue, now turning the power off "everywhere" was pretty stupid and not needed, unless there were cameras there too and it would be "fishy" if only certain ones went out. But the reason that character (forgot how to spell his name) didn't wait and escape later was because of that video chat he had. He was told because of the storm the ship he needed to get the Dnio DNAs to had to leave, so he either needed to do it right there and then or leave his chance at big millions. He didn't have a choice, the storm really messed everything up. Don't complain about him trying to reach the boat instead of waiting the storm out or until his shift ends, because he had to do it right then and there or the boat was gonna leave and he'll be in big trouble. Could he have gotten the DNAs to whoever was paying him even after the boat left or was that his one and only chance? Idk, but at there was at least a reason given,
I think it's interesting that they took stuff from the book and added it to all three movies. Like the waterfall scene in the second movie is from the book and the pterodactyl scene from the third movie is in the book
Mostly good jokes but I can't STAND when people bring up scientific inaccuracies in JP.. It's like doing the same with a superman or star wars... The science is as accurate as it was at the time of the book beeing written INCLUDING naming a species Veloceraptor because at the time Veloceraptor was used as a comon name for most raptor species even big ones like the one in the movies.. But even in the first book doctor Wong states the parks dinos are NOTHING like their real world ancestors
Well, the book science was even better. In fact i did pass a test on genetics in what would be equivalent of US 7th grade biolgy classsolely relying on book's info instead of studying.
@@mancubwwa yeah and I almost aced a history test reciting saving private Ryan, doesn't mean I probably just got lucky there. No matter how accurate the science in the book is the in world characters states very clearly in the book, the dinosaurs are not scientifically accurate
there is a 6ft turkey! they are called Ostrich. they are freakin tall as (as the boy point out except the wrong turkey) they are 6 ft to 9 ft. attacks only a kick and a pick. but they are scary as hell.
kals nez did you see the FULL HOUSE episode where KIMMY GIBBLER's pet OSTRICH kept attacking JESSE the fact that JOHN STAMOS was actually afraid of OSTRICHES made it funnier
This review is more like a nit pick fest, just an attempt to try and make a great movie look not so great and focusing on minor nit picks but that could be the case with every movie considering that even the greatest of films have issues you could poke at, when it comes to a great film like Jurassic Park, the positives completely overshadow the negatives, I'm not very familiar with this reviewer so it could just be his way of messing around but it seems like he's focusing more on everything wrong the film than everything right with it.
shadow face Thats why I love this review. Films like Jurassic Park are treated like sacred cows (like Tarantino’s whole catalogue) whereas in truth they are flawed and there is nothing wrong with pinpointing and discussing the flaws.
@@davekp6773 Most of the flaws he points out though either aren't flaws at all or they're minor and trivial but he just goes waaaaay overboard nitpicking them
This movie is a classic, it has wonderful looking dinosaurs especially for a movie from 1993, it has good suspense and action, and great acting However, there are many things wrong with it, Dr. Grant does an ass-ton of ass-grabbing, where the hell did that cliff come from, and an ass-ton of things that sound like they will come in handy later but they never do Overall, I give it 4 ass-grabbing paleontologists out of 5 And remember, we got Decker Shado to review this movie and we spared no expense
9:35 Well, the movie did explain why he was so rushed. His little windows movie maker skype call told him with the storm, they had to leave port and he had to be on that boat or he wouldn't have any way off the island. He had to rush to try and make the boat, and for obvious reasons, never did.
About Grant finding a velociraptor in Montana - what the jurassic park series uses as its "velociraptors" are actually what is known today as Deinonychus. But back when Michael Crichton was writing jurassic park, the deininychus was still known primarily as a genus of velociraptor, and the movies went along with that. So if you see people talking about the scientific falsities in how the velociraptors are portrayed, just know that the only thing wrong with the "velociraptors" is their name
Nedry had to get the embryos to the docks before the ship left, which it would be gone for at least 24 hours, whilst the can of shaving cream the embryos were in had enough coolant for roughly 36 hours before they went bad.
Hey Decker, does the book explain why they sent all the staff home on the weekend they were holding this endorsement? i never understood why when you park is on the line you send everyone home rather than have all hands on deck to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Shaving Cream is cold...once it heats up...the embryos would die because embryos have to be kept at a constant temperature for a certain amount of time to survive. If the can were to heat up...the embryos would die, making them worthless to ingen
Just stumbled on your review, pretty awesome and funny!! I also tend to nitpick the paleontological mistakes of the Jurassic Park franchise, but it's still one of my favorite films of all time. 4.5 goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurs out of 5.
Because most of the dinosaurs are either in dark, rain or both Or stuff that looks weird/clipping through ground etc... Are geniusly hidden away by real objects like a fallen tree etc...
1:54 this scene reminds me of something in the jurassic world trailer... AHA! the river attraction! it looks... nearly identical. although it may have grown more vegitation over the years. .3.
Well in a Jurassic park i had stated that the Dilophosaurus whole spitting venom thing was a mutation caused by the cloning....nothing on the frills though
Ohhh, Dinocember? I can't wait to see you tear apart the Carnosaur movies! Lol. They're so bad. I think you'll find that the second one took A LOT of inspiration from the formula used by another sci-fi sequel, but with swapped genders for the lead roles and a lot less acidic blood. There's even a people-get-on-helicopter-but-creature-is-hiding-in-said-helicopter scene. And one of the dinosaur roars they used is the same roar used in Jaws: The Revenge, for fuck's sake.
Monster Movie Maniac I don't actually have any Carnosaur movies lined up for Dino-Cember, I'm afraid. (Doing the usual 1 review a week thing.) But after such a glowing recommendation I feel like I HAVE to track them down to cover in 2015.

Rexy bits were my favorite to this day from this movie, when I watched it well being at a Hotel I felt the Suspense of The rex’s presence, the Raptor scene was great too and unlike the newer Jurassic movies this one has a perfect blend of CGI and Practical effects
Honestly, as nonsensical as the Rex appearing at the end was, the alternative was WAY worse. Originally, the raptors were going to killed by being impaled on the collapsing dinosaur bones, but Spielberg realized how anti climactic that was and decided to bring the T-Rex back because he knew that the T-Rex had to have one final hurrah. He couldn't just have it destroy a car, chase a jeep, and eat a gallimimus and not have all that lead up to something.
Oh wow really? Now that you said that it is kind of odd that they decided to have the Indoraptor killed by a Triceratops Skull at the end of JW2.

Randal Graves HOLY SHIT HOW DID I NOT REALISE THAT'S THE SAME KID???
Fucking WHAT?!
Not that Dream Child, dumbass.
Who?
@Mary Burdette no, I mean. That kid isn't from Nightmare on Elm Street at all. He's from a completely unrelated film called Dream Child.

Good review. Even for it's obvious faults this film has a special place in my heart both for the original concept conceived by Michael Crichton and the sheer atmosphere of the world. Even the inaccuracy of the "retrosaurs" actually makes sense in that they're designed by committee like any man made theme park attraction would be. The only difference is that, well, they're actually living organisms in-universe which makes them unique. They exist to meet the expectations of the late 80's/earlier 90's public.

What's your take on the later sequels ?

+RetroGamerAaron Pretty much.

I think in the book he was supposed to deliver the embryos while he was on break.
I laughed so hard when he was running from the 6 foot turkey
Dawn of Justice Productions I just came from thanks killings review so it's even funnier
Muldoon did load more shells. Watch him in the background during that scene.
In the defense of the movie, Deinonychus was reclassified as Velociraptor.... before they changed it back. By then both books were out and the second movie was in production.
Velociraptors of Skyrim Yeah, trying to read up (spent longer researching the movie than I did watching it.. oy, so much to dig through!) on that, there was talk back and forth that some thought Deinonychus was Velociraptor, or they were in the same branch or the like... and that Michael Crichton got the two mixed up when he wrote the book, or.. someone else.. it's a bit hard to figure out which one is the most accurate account. In any case, I think it's safe to say that people done fucked up.
Decker Shado The animal was reclassified as Velociraptor because they were so similar, despite being bigger. One guy said it looked like a Velociraptor that was human sized.
Decker Shado they also discovered Utah Raptor, to which one of the diggers was alleged to exclaim; we found Spielberg's monster.
YOU I SAW U IN ANOTHER VIDEO HMMHIU
Olay King I don't remember you....
I am aware that this could of been brought up already but I did not go through all the comments to see.
The reason Nedry was "running" was not because he was fleeing the island, though in a way he was. He was trying to reach the last boat off the island. He had one of Dodgson's men on the boat to hand off the Shaving Cream storage container to (We see him talking to someone on his computer, "got to give me 15 minutes' line). So it was a race to the boat to get the container to the person so he could get the other half of his money. So turning off all the fences allowed him to by pass all the electric fence locks (like an airlock type gimmick) that we see him having to open. The park did not have those security fences powered by a different power source. They were powered through the fence itself. So turning off the fence left the electric fence locks unpowered and easy to open.

Like "I'm there. Let's do this", turns the power off, "Turn it back on", turns the power back on and raptors probably fry themselves to death while thinking that the fence is permanently off.
The end.
Nedry had to leave because the ship wasn't going to wait for him due to the storm. You left out the part where he talked to the guy on the dock and asked for more time
There's also the fact that the cooling can (or whatever the fake Shaving Can was really) only had a limited time before it expired and the embryo's went bad.
At the time of the movies release, Deinonychus was considered subspecies of Velociraptor and honestly...could you pass on the name Velociraptor?
“It sells itself” - Michael Crichton
The same year the movie released; only a few months later in fact, the Utah-Raptor was discovered and they called it
“Spielberg’s monster”
You would also have the Dakotaraptor that was found since then as well and would be in the right location for the dig site
Excellent Decker, especially the your chase scene from the Turkey. Hahahahahaha
6-foot turkeys really can be very scary. Besides, they're very tough and require lots of cooking time!
IT did look like you would get gobbled up their. No?!? I'll shut up and keep watching.
The glass wasn't meant to break. The children were actually fearing for their lives.
the reason that happened was the t-rex animatronic glitched from the rain and well you know breaks the glass
Keira Wrighton so in the momment that movie became very real
Lol I like the kids are scared for there life the Director is like keep filming
complexedGaudiloquent I think that’s one of the things that makes the movie great in my option
My dad calls Jeff Goldblum Jeff goldbum
i lol'd when the 6ft turkey chased you!
Ivan Flores same, but seriously Turkeys can be fucking dangerous
I don't see big Raptors as 6ft Turkeys, but as slighty bigger Cassowaries. Seriously those things will fuck you up.
The fake shaving cream can only had enough coolant for a small window of time for Nedry to escape the island. Dodson explained that to him.
the real protagonist in this movie is Franchi SPAS-12
One thing that kind of bothered me was at around the point where they get the tour with the video, john has this onscreen john interacting with him and taking his dna right? Was this implying john would be the tour manager every single time??
The running from the turkey is what made me subscribe.
Anyone notice that Tim could've slipped though the fence rather than climbing it and the distance that he travelled after being shocked was inconsistent to where Grant and his sister were standing
Over in Australia we actually have something like a six foot Turkey, its called the cassowary, averaging height being roughly 6.6 ft for the females and being labeled as the world's deadliest bird.
Just a random piece of information
10:30 fun fact the t-rex animatronic was NOT suppose to get his head to smash in the plexiglas, so it was the actors real screams that we hear.
You got a genuine laugh out of me with the 6-foot turkey simulation. Thanks Decker :)
Decker: Why is there a toilet near the T-Rex area?
It's a tour, remember? Supposedly, the cars were meant to stop in front of the T-Rex paddock to allow tourists to step out of their vehicles to take some photos of the creature or use the bathroom if they need too before moving on.
Decker: *6ft Turkey skit*
Me: 👉 *ThanksKilling Foreshadowing*
The first one is a classic, but I also really enjoy The Lost World. I'm genuinely curious as to what your opinion on it is. I think despite a few flaws, it is massively underrated.
To be fair, Hammond doesn't bribe Ellie and Grant - he's paying them to take important time away from their dig, not to give their eventual opinion/endorsement of the park.
He agreed to fully fund their dig for another 10 years (that was a bribe)
@@jasonkreider8954 It's not a bribe. He doesn't say they have to endorse the park to receive the money, which *would* be a bribe. He only asks that they come along for the weekend to get the money.
To be fair on the whole wrong raptors and no feathers deal, Spielberg said he wanted to do the dinosaurs the way they are seen in the film as chicken sized feathered lizards are not the most terrifying of film monsters. As to clashes with the book the film began production while the book was still a manuscript and was well underway by the time it was published.
my paleontologist friend (who actually worked on Jurassic park!!!) says that the rain in the t-rex scene was a last minute decision and it messed with the robotics in the trex (it was a robot btw) so it actually moved without commands spooky huh?
EDIT:i just remembered this:in the scene where the kids are trying to keep the trex from crushing them (at the start) they were actually struggling (for the previous reason why the trex was moving frantically)
Riven Fish oh hell no I be running away
They combined Genarro with another character in the book who was coward. Gennarro was actually a good guy in the book. Played catch with Lex, cared about the kids more than Hammond did.
The kid flying of the fence was my Dad's favorite part
Also Sam Jackson was NOT as big a star yet hence his death
The reason why jurassic park worked so well is because of Spielberg’s directing. Pure and simple. We’re almost always shown the dinosaurs from a human perspective which means as a viewer we connect with what we are seeing on screen. There are no gimmicks. The lost world, although a much flawed film was also similar. However the next 3 films all lost that sense of human perspective and therefore any credibility with what we are shown on screen. Jurassic Park is a masterpiece of film making that will never be replicated.
Raptors were ninja, there's evidence, I heard it from Dawkings.
Xendrius well you should of heard Jack Horner
I laughed at that ninja comment decker made so much lol but I think grant was implying that once they have you on the floor they claw across the abdomen from the side. Then again Dr Wu is pinned by two raptors against the wall and the third disembowls him while he is semi-upright in the books so maybe ninja raptors where the intended dino
@@ChaosCloud96 Where did he say it? was 4 years ago.
@@ChaosCloud96 Found it, was funny.
That would be DAWKINS, but sure..
You can argue that these are not dinosaurs but the idea of dinosaurs that Dr. Wu and Hammond had because they were made for showmanship and not realism (The Flea Circus metaphor that Hammond was talking about.)
I love how each sequel has a different scientist from the first movie.
The Dilophosaurus was a juvenile, and the Velociraptor is actually a Deinonychus
I remember watching this movie over and over during my childhood
Edit: the jurassic park game from tall tail games actually explains why the contingency thing didn't work in the sequels because a scientist woman cured it i believe
The shotgun didn't jam, He just ran out of ammo. the shells they were using were slugs (Hence the bullet holes in the glass), and there was a severe lack of ammo on the island (Based on the book) The shotguns that WERE on the island had very VERY little ammo for them, as Hammond had built the park in a similar manner to a modern day zoo. He thought they wouldn't ever have to actually combat one of these animals, so there were more tranquilizer guns on the island than shotguns. The shotguns that were there were for emergencies only, as in "A raptor or dinosaur attacking a feeder or visitor."
Finland is a lovely country
Yeah, it's a fine country.
But as far as I know, the haven't found any dinosaurs there.
(Which doesn't exclude the possibility of something I don't know! 😀)
From what I know, the closest is findings of Dromaeosauroides fossils in Denmark.
Yeah the mystery of the dinos getting off the island in the book was sort of important overall. The computer systems that were responsible for keeping tabs on the Dinos. Weren't designed to keep track of "the body count rising". Since they weren't supposed to be breeding. Just would alert if it dropped below a specific number. So the dinos breeding in the wild was ACTUALLY plot relevant. Because dinos were able to stowaway on ships without the computers alerting anyone.
Well actually the Brachiosaurus sneezing is relevant to the plot because it's showing that multiple dinosaurs are sick like the triceratops and Brachiosaurus so even if Jurassic Park didn't die the disease might have spread and all the dinosaurs would have died.
6 foot turkeys would, without a doubt, be terrifying.
Traiken Tercept It would make a great Thanksgiving dinner. THINK OF THE GIBLETS!
Maybe the reason why there's a "velociraptor" in Montana is because it's not a velociraptor. It's another dinosaurs that's in the raptor family, that lived in North America. That got misnamed because Hollywood thought velociraptor sounded cooler.
I've got an answer for that cliff bs, parkouring T-Rex. And one hell of a sexual one!
8:40 I've heard theories that the Triceratops is actually undergoing the transition from female to male and that's why she seems sick. The lilac berries are just a red herring and a homage to the book.
They are now canonically not raptor eggs that are shown, despite the two toed footprints eluding as much. In JP 2 there are documents that can be seen that state the current animals on the island as they sent a group to survey It too see if it had viable specimens to be captured for the San Diego park but after realising there weren't they went to Ilsa Sorna. Anyway those documents show that the sweep of the island found 3 raptor and their status is all deceased. Its widely believed in the fandom that the intention was for them to be baby raptors and use them to set up sequels but ultimately it was changed and the scene was just left in as it demonstrated the dinos were now breeding
Sadler- They're coming through the glass!
Hammond- GRANT!!
The Lysene contingency is actually metioned in the jurassic park 2 Decker.
I'm pretty sure there was only enough coolant in the can to last 36 hours, so Nedry had to get to the boat before it left. That's why he couldn't wait and steal the embryos nearer to the end of his shift, or stick around and hide in plain sight.
In the book, they got the Lysine through supplements from the vets. For the later movies, when dinosaurs are living outside of the park despite not having these supplements, it's explained by them having lysine-rich diets (e.g. beans and chicken). The latter is not an easy theory to buy into, but it works in the context of Jurassic Park.
RaefonB I thought that it was explained the herbivores ate lysine rich plants and the herbivores fell prey to the dinos
Oh okay, so in the book it's stuff like beans and chicken, but in the movie do they say the carnivores accessed lysine through eating herbivores? Fair enough. Kinda like when bioaccumulation happens :)
While I love Jurassic park more than any movie out of the 90's, since it was literally the best movie of my generation 1992-1993, I still respect his opinion. not everyone likes it. though I admit that drop where the T-rex came out of, made no sense
i.stack.imgur.com/BCpvr.jpg
Thats a storyboard type thing from production that shows the lay of the land for the T-rex break out scene, as you can see the rex breaks out much further up than where the car falls off the cliff. This can be seen in film as when it breaks out and does its first roar it is actually between both the ford explorers. The above storyboard shows that Ford Explorer number four is the one to be pushed off the edge and during the initial flipping of the car it is actually pushed further up the road so that it is past the moat wall and that is where the drop off is that it is pushed off. This makes the whole scene now make sense but I still agree that the way the scene is shot leads the viewer to interpret that the car was pushed through the gap the Rex broke out of. However with the board in mind either think back to the scenes or watch them and you realise that its correct. The car flips on its roof, Lexi and Grant hide around the front of the car, the T-rex gives it an inquisitive nudge forward which takes it past the T-rex enclosures walls and ajacent to the moat, Lex and Alan slide around the side of the car to avoid the the T-rex with their backs now facing the drop of the Moat, Trex nudges the side of the car forcing them to climb down the moat.
I think they based Gennaro's character more off Ed Regis in the book
which is why he ran away
They cover the Lysine in the second movie. They clearly state that the animals found a natural source for it. They also mention in the movie about the Triceratops and what made her ill.
Decker said the T. rex is "30 foot long" the average Tyrannosaurus rex was 40 feet long
Haha oh my god you did the perfect cliche horror scene with the turkey. Even fell down too right on cue lol
love the videos. im watching all the past seasons working my way to the newest videos. keep them coming.
Finally he does a Jurassic Park review.
Dude, despite the scientific inaccuracies, I still rate this baby 7.5/10. This was a staple in my childhood, and I loved watching this movie even as an adult. Richard Attenborough's John Hammond was my favorite guy, even though he funded the project to bring dinosaurs to life. I also agree, they should've used Avian and Reptilian DNA, I'm also having a hard time figuring out why they used Frog DNA? Other than because the Plot says so.
I also wanna put out about the dino sounds, like the real T-Rex's sounds are arguably scarier than this movie's iconic roar, the infrasounds (which is low frequency) where the Rex doesn't have to open its jaws to create sound, and its vibration is powerful enough to shake your core. My point being, I'm crossing my fingers some form of media will actually learn from Paleontology and give these extinct species the dignity of at least semi-accurate portrayals.
Though I did take one good thing of note from this movie, how to use animatronics with CGI, rather than completely going with CGI, or completely going with animatronics. I figure why not use both, like have the CGI make the animatronic look more lifelike, or cover up some flaws in the animatronic (i.e. TMNT 90's with the double mouths scene with Donatello). Special effects should be utilized in a grand way, not just be used in half-ass pursuits for a quick buck.
The dilophosaurus is small because it is an infant. Neadry actually mentions that when he first sees it. 😬
Ben Bilbrey no I think he just meant it wasn’t one of the bigger carnivores like the T-Rex or Velociraptors. If he knew what the Dilophosaurus was he wouldn’t have tried to play fetch with it 🙄
There's a reason for the filler. They were going to film Samuel L. Jackson's death scene, but thanks to a hurricane were unable to. So they went with the filler instead.
Love your channel bro, keep up the great work and congrats on your engagement !
I'll continue to pray for your success bro
is it just me or do Sam Neil's expressions and his line "But that's not what I'm gonna do" looks creepy as hell.
I believe they established that Nedry dashed out so quickly when he was on the phone to the guy by the boat who said "If he says we gotta go, we gotta go" Nedry tried to persuade him for extra time and the guy responded with "No promises"
Dionycus was referred to as a species of the genus Velociraptor in the past.
I just realized the T-Rex in these films are FAR larger than they should be..for dramatic effect of course. But yeah, that's the least of one's nitpicks when it comes to scientific accuracy.
11:24
I'm sure this has been explained but that spot is actually several jeep lengths away from where the T-Rex walked out of the enclosure. When the Rex spun the Jeep around, Grant and Lex moved with it. The cliff is the barrier between the Rex paddock and the paddock next to it. The scene is incongruous but the geography makes sense.
A little fact about the trex smashing into the car window. when the glass broke, it snapped off the animatronics tooth and in JW and JWFK, the cgi Rex has a missing tooth, even in JP Evolution.
Decker Shado Are you going to review Carnosaur? I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be goofy or serious, and the puppets were "meh" at best, but it's still cheesy fun.
I'm gonna correct a issue, now turning the power off "everywhere" was pretty stupid and not needed, unless there were cameras there too and it would be "fishy" if only certain ones went out. But the reason that character (forgot how to spell his name) didn't wait and escape later was because of that video chat he had.
He was told because of the storm the ship he needed to get the Dnio DNAs to had to leave, so he either needed to do it right there and then or leave his chance at big millions. He didn't have a choice, the storm really messed everything up. Don't complain about him trying to reach the boat instead of waiting the storm out or until his shift ends, because he had to do it right then and there or the boat was gonna leave and he'll be in big trouble.
Could he have gotten the DNAs to whoever was paying him even after the boat left or was that his one and only chance? Idk, but at there was at least a reason given,
I think it's interesting that they took stuff from the book and added it to all three movies.
Like the waterfall scene in the second movie is from the book and the pterodactyl scene from the third movie is in the book
2:30 Finland mentioned time to put up the flag
Mostly good jokes but I can't STAND when people bring up scientific inaccuracies in JP.. It's like doing the same with a superman or star wars... The science is as accurate as it was at the time of the book beeing written INCLUDING naming a species Veloceraptor because at the time Veloceraptor was used as a comon name for most raptor species even big ones like the one in the movies.. But even in the first book doctor Wong states the parks dinos are NOTHING like their real world ancestors
Well, the book science was even better. In fact i did pass a test on genetics in what would be equivalent of US 7th grade biolgy classsolely relying on book's info instead of studying.
@@mancubwwa yeah and I almost aced a history test reciting saving private Ryan, doesn't mean I probably just got lucky there. No matter how accurate the science in the book is the in world characters states very clearly in the book, the dinosaurs are not scientifically accurate
there is a 6ft turkey! they are called Ostrich. they are freakin tall as (as the boy point out except the wrong turkey) they are 6 ft to 9 ft. attacks only a kick and a pick. but they are scary as hell.
kals nez
did you see the
FULL HOUSE episode
where
KIMMY GIBBLER's pet
OSTRICH kept attacking
JESSE
the fact that
JOHN STAMOS
was actually afraid of
OSTRICHES made it funnier
Omg I just stumbled across your channel today & your reviews are HILARIOUS!! I've subbed & am now binging on your videos.
My best bet is that they made a restroom by the rex area for in case anyone peed or dirtied their pants XD
I like how you say the children are the real monsters as in the book they are responsible for the death of Hammond
This review is more like a nit pick fest, just an attempt to try and make a great movie look not so great and focusing on minor nit picks but that could be the case with every movie considering that even the greatest of films have issues you could poke at, when it comes to a great film like Jurassic Park, the positives completely overshadow the negatives, I'm not very familiar with this reviewer so it could just be his way of messing around but it seems like he's focusing more on everything wrong the film than everything right with it.
shadow face Thats why I love this review. Films like Jurassic Park are treated like sacred cows (like Tarantino’s whole catalogue) whereas in truth they are flawed and there is nothing wrong with pinpointing and discussing the flaws.
@@davekp6773 Most of the flaws he points out though either aren't flaws at all or they're minor and trivial but he just goes waaaaay overboard nitpicking them
(around 14:35) It was later brought up in the Telltale Jurassic Park game...
This movie is a classic, it has wonderful looking dinosaurs especially for a movie from 1993, it has good suspense and action, and great acting
However, there are many things wrong with it, Dr. Grant does an ass-ton of ass-grabbing, where the hell did that cliff come from, and an ass-ton of things that sound like they will come in handy later but they never do
Overall, I give it 4 ass-grabbing paleontologists out of 5
And remember, we got Decker Shado to review this movie and we spared no expense
That is, that's the kid from dream child!!! He was like 5 or 6 at the time that movie was filmed, but now he's like 10.
9:35 Well, the movie did explain why he was so rushed. His little windows movie maker skype call told him with the storm, they had to leave port and he had to be on that boat or he wouldn't have any way off the island. He had to rush to try and make the boat, and for obvious reasons, never did.
About Grant finding a velociraptor in Montana - what the jurassic park series uses as its "velociraptors" are actually what is known today as Deinonychus. But back when Michael Crichton was writing jurassic park, the deininychus was still known primarily as a genus of velociraptor, and the movies went along with that. So if you see people talking about the scientific falsities in how the velociraptors are portrayed, just know that the only thing wrong with the "velociraptors" is their name
at 1:45, for the longest time as a kid, I always thought he was rolling the de boned arm of Geoffry in his hands for some reason.
Nedry had to get the embryos to the docks before the ship left, which it would be gone for at least 24 hours, whilst the can of shaving cream the embryos were in had enough coolant for roughly 36 hours before they went bad.
Hey Decker, does the book explain why they sent all the staff home on the weekend they were holding this endorsement? i never understood why when you park is on the line you send everyone home rather than have all hands on deck to make sure everything runs smoothly.
They left because of the storm. and also in the book some workers stayed behind on the island
I’m getting old…. I was 15 when I watched this video I’m 26 now
I am 24 today bruh. 😂😂😂😂
Actually they explain that with the Shaving Cream Can.
That one Guy say that this Can only cool for a short time.
Shaving Cream is cold...once it heats up...the embryos would die because embryos have to be kept at a constant temperature for a certain amount of time to survive. If the can were to heat up...the embryos would die, making them worthless to ingen
Kids: "Grandpa!!!!"
Hammond: "Kids!!!!"
T-Rex: "Ooh, snacks!!!!"
I prefer the book where the big game hunter was a kickass dinosaur killing machine.
Yeah that was awesome and remember how gennaro wasn't a massive d bag and he killed a raptor that one time
Just stumbled on your review, pretty awesome and funny!! I also tend to nitpick the paleontological mistakes of the Jurassic Park franchise, but it's still one of my favorite films of all time. 4.5 goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurs out of 5.
The CGI here aged wayyy better then Phantom Menace and this came years before that
Because most of the dinosaurs are either in dark, rain or both
Or stuff that looks weird/clipping through ground etc... Are geniusly hidden away by real objects like a fallen tree etc...
1:54
this scene reminds me of something in the jurassic world trailer... AHA! the river attraction! it looks... nearly identical. although it may have grown more vegitation over the years. .3.
3:53 velociraptor jumped on the back of its prey or used there claws to stab the neck
Well in a Jurassic park i had stated that the Dilophosaurus whole spitting venom thing was a mutation caused by the cloning....nothing on the frills though
Ohhh, Dinocember? I can't wait to see you tear apart the Carnosaur movies! Lol. They're so bad. I think you'll find that the second one took A LOT of inspiration from the formula used by another sci-fi sequel, but with swapped genders for the lead roles and a lot less acidic blood. There's even a people-get-on-helicopter-but-creature-is-hiding-in-said-helicopter scene. And one of the dinosaur roars they used is the same roar used in Jaws: The Revenge, for fuck's sake.
Monster Movie Maniac I don't actually have any Carnosaur movies lined up for Dino-Cember, I'm afraid. (Doing the usual 1 review a week thing.) But after such a glowing recommendation I feel like I HAVE to track them down to cover in 2015.
Decker Shado Brilliant. I'm looking forward to the rest of Dinocember anyways :)
Decker Shado Did you know the Carnosaur novel precedes Jurassic Park by six years? Its plot was similar, what with the dinosaur zoo and all.

Rexy bits were my favorite to this day from this movie, when I watched it well being at a Hotel I felt the Suspense of The rex’s presence, the Raptor scene was great too and unlike the newer Jurassic movies this one has a perfect blend of CGI and Practical effects
