The Lost World: Jurassic Park Mercedes ML320 Facts, Similarities and Differences JPMP

- I wanted to share some of the things I learned about these vehicles. I don't see many people talk about these fun facts. This video is mainly for members of the Jurassic Park Motor Pool.
All the flaws in the cars makes sense canonically. Eddie Carr even says, "You can't shave 3 days off my deadline and expect everything to be ready." All of his employess were working on the cars the day that Ian decided the Gatherer Expedition was going to leave. I imagine Eddie just told his mechanics to do whatever they could to get them as ready as they could. In film, movie cars are also rushed, kinda funny how that worked out.
Also thanks for pointing out these details, looking to aquire an ML-320 of my own in order to do a replica of Eddies. Slight alterations may be made to make it more offroad worthy.
This video was incredible, it was well explained, all the details were described, the video is easy to understand, basically it is perfect, it's a shame that this video doesn't have so many views.
Thank you! And to be fair I feel like Lost World and the Mercedes vehicles aren't as iconic as the original Jurassic Park and the Jeep Wranglers and Ford Explorers. Nonetheless growing up Lost World was and still is my favorite classic JP movie to this day ❤🖤🦖
I had just gotten a ML320 1998. It's a decent vehicle.
Thank you shedding light on these underrated vehicles. I often struggle to remember which name goes to which car. My mnemonic for the pickup is ‘Santana = sans = having less’. ‘Montana = something mounted on it’.
Also, if you get the Legacy Collection one, I’d love to see you review it and perhaps compare with other toy/model versions.
@@arko09 funny enough after this video was posted we finally got a clear look at the Mattel ML. I was wrong and it's just a fusion of Santana and Fontana, the bubble dome is there and you can flip it open!
@@Hugolovesyou17 That's awesome! I got it now as well. Gonna get a second one just to have both modes simultaneously.
I new everything and took the time to show my friend he thinks Fontana is the pickup one Santana black on hood and things on the doors Montana bubble and boxes he learned a lot thank you
Nice video, Hugo! Thanks for the credits in the beginning. Great you did a video! I hope it inspires more ML builds. I agree they aren't mentioned enough.
The first badges of ML's had an option called "Sky View" roofs. It was a lamella system which turned out to be a problem for nearly all owners sooner or later. They are pretty rare to find in good condition. Basically the structure of the car was good enough for the complete roof to be cut off. This ML still uses the ladder-chassis instead of a self-supporting body. My guess is that they used a body with a Skyview roof (you can see on the picture of the production process of the movie cars in your video) as the basis and cut it open further to install the bubble roof and have an even bigger opening. The roof lining then was custom made (you can see it in our photo's in your video).
The thing in the middle, on top, of the dashboard is indeed GPS. A combination of Mercedes own system and some aftermarket GPS from that time. The Mercedes GPS is very hard to get. We didn't find one so far. The other parts pop up on eBay every once in a while.
The wheel wells are indeed cut open (I have pictures/videos for you, if you like) to give the impression the ML is lifted.
You son of a gun! I didn't know you were also on youtube!
@@Hugolovesyou17 Yes, yes, but no videos made of the build. We wanted to, but it is so much work and takes so much time...
When I said "side mirrors" I meant to say "Side Mirror LIGHTS" 😅
E X C E L L E N T .
nice video✨
I like this car coming out to a lost world. A structure is different from two depending on a use.
However, I do not know the role of the parts of the car each.🤔✨
So the interiors are some what luxury. Ahhh its reall a sub luxury suv and made for the middleclass family. Not really made to be rugged. But its a solid drivetrain.
Pretty sure the model in the film was the ML500, 5.0 V8, not 3.2 V6!
They weren't. The Jurassic Park Motor Pool confirmed they were 320s. It's on the reference page on their website
The ML500 didn't come out until 2000. All the Mercedes used were preproduction prototype models of the 320
@Hugolovesyou17 fair enough. I don't know about the sound though.
Maybe they dub on a different sounding engine noise
@@donutmoron oh without a doubt they dubbed it. They do it all the time in Hollywood when it comes to car sequences! 😂
I’d like to say something that you didn’t um the lights on the roof of Santana change in every scene it’s in from ▪️⚫️⚫️▪️ then ⚫️▪️▪️⚫️
I thought I already covered that whoops 😂 I do know that the two variants of Santana have different light orders. Guess I was too focused on a general aspect of all 3 versions
Why does the “hero car” not have functional rear doors, but the other Santana model has functional rear doors?
They have both have functioning doors, only on the front. The rear ones are only have the seem of what was supposed to be a rear door but is sealed. Don't know if it was cause they're prototype bodies or to add structural integrity to the rear. Fontana has the same non functioning rear door from what some of the members of the Jurassic Park Motor Pool saw when it was on display in Universal Hollywood for the 25th Anniversary of Jurassic Park. So I'm assuming ALL variants have non functional rear doors, but they do have functioning ones in the front.
Oh! And the other Santana one was also a Stunt car basically with a removable roof during the Rex attack 🙂
Oh yea that picture is not photoshopped as it never appeared in the movie it was just a car showcase
What do you mean? I showed the original where it was Santana and Fontana together. Montana never went on that island
@@Hugolovesyou17 the pic with Santana and Fontana is fake also in the movie those two cars where never shown in that position
@@Funnyfrenchie28 what? No. That's a production behind the scenes photo
@@Funnyfrenchie28 just because they were not in that position in the film doesn't mean it's fake
@@Hugolovesyou17I know I’m late but that’s what I’m talking about with the Montana photo
Donc il y a eu le ML en boite de vitesse automatique et en boite de vitesse manuelle ! 😮
Oui. Il n’y avait qu’un seul manuel et les autres étaient automatiques. Les manuels n'étaient vendus que sur le marché européen.
Yes. There was only one manual and the rest were automatic. The manuals were only sold in the European market.
HugoCanales1994 I think u Mistaken, Theres 4 Adults Ian Malcolm, Sarah Harding, Nick and Eddie Carr, Montana Should be Driven By Ian Malcolm, Maybe Ian Drove Fontana too at the first scene When all three Vehicles were traveling on the island, Nick Probably Drove The RV and drove Fontana with the Baby TRex for brief time. Eddie Carr drove The Pick Up Version ML320.
DUDE I LOVE THIS VIDEO NOW DO THE MOC FLEETWOOD RV
Working on it! 🙂
