I remember my mom always yelling"JOSH, JURASSIC PARK IS ON!!" And I would scramble to the remote trying to find which channel it was on. Aaaah, memories
That was how my parents slowly prepared me to see JP. I love dinosaurs so when I was a kid, my mom and dad would call me down to see certain scenes when it was on TV.
My dad wanted to take me and brother to the live action TMNT but we got there late. So instead we saw Jurassic Park. The part when the lawyer got eaten. A grown woman ran out screaming. I was seven. Favorite memory movie going experience by far.
@@devod4000 Last time I remember people asking that, it was about the hallway fight scene in Inception. Even though it's already been done by older movies, most audiences weren't used to seeing it in big budget films.
I had the good fortune of having read the book first, so I wasn't as scared in general. However, the movie ending is vastly different than the book. So when Sam Neil, Laura Dern and the kids are cornered by the raptors, and my wife whispered to me, "how do they get out of this?" I was forced to say, "I have no idea, this part wasn't in the book."
That must have been a thrilling feeling though, to think you know all the answers and then have the metaphorical rug pulled from underneath you at such a climactic moment.
Same here, I read Jarasic Park 1 & 2. I so hate Jarasic park 2 film , it makes me want to cry. They didn't need to split the ideas of Jarasic park 2 book over 3 films.
I saw it when it came out in ‘93 with my dad. During the t-Rex scene I was covering my face with my hands and my dad was saying, “take down your hands. I paid good money and you wanted to see this.” He thought it was hilarious
The thing I remember most about Jurassic Park was just how long it was in the theaters. It stayed in the theaters for a year. A whole year. And I didn't live in a little podunk town in 1993/94. It was in the main, big theater for a year.
@Edward Lee Miller To be fair, at the time there were only a couple dozen new movies coming out every year, pre-pandemic there were that many new movies coming out in a month. That's largely why Blockbuster was able to get away with having an entire wall with 400 copies of a New Release movie. If they'd survived to modern times, they would have had to reduce their New Releases to a single shelf of 30 copies just to fit all of the new movies.
Think about Spielberg's start to the 90's.... Hook - hokey but fun kids film Jurassic Park - powerhouse of special effects & storytelling Schindler's List - pure, perfect storytelling, his magnum opus That's a hell of a way to kick off a decade.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I was 10 years old when I first saw it. I watched it with my brother and two of his friends. When I was growing up I had a fascination of dinosaurs, and to see this movie was something special. I was pretty much like you. Not as nerdy but I was amazed, astonished and I loved it. I've written many essays on it and every time I would realise how much I loved it and how much passion i felt behind this movie. This is movie magic. You know what I feel like making a video now.
Jurassic Park is what sparked my love for Dino’s so much that even took a paleontology class in college thinking I could be like Dr. Grant, then I realized almost everything about dinosaurs was in Latin and I was out lol
Same. Well, almost same. I actually wanted to be an archeologist, but I'm allergic to heat and the sun, so that would have narrowed where I could have gone on digs, so I became a cartoonist instead.
I was 12 when this PG-13 movie came out, so my mom refused to let me see the movie in theatres. (That, and the movie TERRIFIED her when she saw it.) So I had to wait until it came out on VHS, but the moment we got that VHS home, I watched that movie all by myself and loved it! We even bought the Making of Jurassic Park book, which helped launch my forever love for behind-the-scenes movie magic, and that book still has a prominent place on my bookshelf. The t-rex paddock attack scene is easily the most intense scene in the whole movie for me. It’s weird, because as a kid I thrilled at how scary it would be to be in that situation the kids found themselves in, but now that I’m a parent, that scene is actually harder to watch. You KNOW those kids aren’t acting, they are legitimately terrified! I just want to protect them... I love that my son loves this movie, too. He especially loves the raptors. ;)
I was 11 going on 12 and I was supposed to be grounded for something. My dad told my mom that the movie will be scary enough that it will be like a punishment lol so I got to see it with them haha. I had a scary dream about the dinosaurs that night lol.
I was eight when Jurassic Park came out and I was OBSESSED with dinosaurs...so naturally, I was taken to see it in theatres. It wasn't the first movie I saw in the theatres (I truly cannot remember what that honour goes to), but it was the first thriller I saw - and yes, it was scary, but all I remember is having just so much fun with it! I was hiding in my seat laughing my ass off, my mom was there laughing at the thrills, the audience was completely into it...quite frankly, it's one of my favourite childhood memories. :) I don't think I had as much fun at the cinema again until the opening night of Avengers: Endgame last year and listening to the audience hooting and hollering at every important moment. :)
Well, Andre, my story isn't as special as yours, but, 'ere goes nothin'. I'm in my early 20s, so I wasn't born when Jurassic Park came out, but when I was really young (I'd say around 4-5 years old) I was crazy into dinosaurs. I loved watching Walking With Dinosaurs on TV, and Barney on PBS kids when it came on in the mornings. I remember watching Jurassic Park on TV for the first time at my Grandmother's house, and it really opened my eyes to the world of dinosaurs. The brachiosaur, the sick trike, the T-rex...it was amazing. As a kid you never really take into account that it's all special effects, I legitimately thought it was real. But, long story short, I've been a Jurassic fan ever since, and I finally got that theatre experience when they re-released the movie in 3D not too long ago. Almost brought me to tears.
I'm 36 years old, I have some memories of my childhood still and one of them is being so impressed with my dad for going to see Jurassic Park because we were definitely a no-scary-movies house, his coworkers invited him so he went and came back and was like "Yup. It was scary." my sister and I were like "Whooooa" hahaha
Jurassic Park was the movie of the year! I saw it in the theater too. I was in love with Sam Neill ever since I saw him in Reilly Ace of Spies (I'm super old), so I really loved seeing him as the hero in JP.
When I first gazed at Jurassic Park, I was thrilled and amazed at the CG and the story. Constantly on edge wishing for the heroes to survive! One of the best films of the 90s!
It's interesting that they used animal sounds for the Jurassic Park dinosaurs. The Raptors were a combo of underwater dolphin screams and walrus chest cavity roars. The Tyrannosaurus rex utilized primarily the sounds of a baby elephant, alligator and tiger. Dilophosaurus was a combo of a hawk, howler monkey, swan and rattlesnake.
I first saw Jurassic Park when I was 10 with my brother in my grandparents basement when we were staying over for the weekend. I didn’t know anything about the movie, so my brother had to hype it up and I got really excited to watch it. It’s not my favorite movie ever, but it was awesome to stay up late with the lights off and watch a movie with dinosaurs.
I wasn't born when Jurassic Park came out but I did watch it a LOT on VHS when I was a kid, still love it but my nostalgia with it is VHS in the afternoon, so to me it was always a movie. The movie where I had that "OMG IT'S REAL" feeling where I was completely immersed in the experience was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Also yes please do more videos like this.
I remember seeing it! I was 7 years old and my uncle took us to see it at "the Big M" drive in movie theater in Maryland. I SOMEHOW fell asleep during the movie (don't ask me how with all the dinosaur yells and screaming!)
I remember that I was supposed to be camping the week I saw the movie, it did not go well. That flimsy little nylon tent wasn't going to be doing any good. I wanted solid walls between me and the outside world after seeing that movie.
A close friend of mine grew up on the east side of the Berlin Wall. Her only screen entertainment was state run television. The first American movie she ever saw, in color, in a theater was Jurassic Park. It was very formative. Even now as an adult, she will not have lever doorknobs in her home. Only knobs because raptors can't open those .
In hindsight, it is a really funny commentary by Steven Spielberg that the kids come out fine, but the lawyer gets eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Rawr! 🦖🦕🦎🐊
Loved your story! I remember mg first JP experience, I was snooping in my parents room and I found the JP VHS in one of the drawers. Being a movie addict I asked my mom about it and she said she hid it cause it' was too scary and instructed me not to watch it. Of coarse I watched it and some how it DIDN'T scare me and this was at a time when watching Beauty and the Beast scared the beejeebus out of me. Still love JP to this day!
My parents took me to see Jurassic Park when it came out, even though I was only about 3 years old. I actually vividly remember the T Rex attack, but not once did I cry or freak out. I actually came out of the theater stomping my feet and acting like I was a dinosaur. To say that Jurassic was an influence on my childhood would be an enormous lie. Jurassic Park WAS my childhood. Because of that movie, all of my heroes growing up were scientists rather than superheros (not that I didn't have a huge soft spot for Batman at the time). I haven't let go of that sense of wonder that was instilled in me, even 27 years later.
I saw Jurassic Park in the theater while I was in Minnesota visiting my aunts and grandparents. I think we chose it because one of my aunt's had heard it was good. Not sure if I'd even seen a trailer for it? Anyway, I came out of that theater with my MIND BLOWN. I was scared, I was excited, and I'd learned about Velociraptors for the first time. It's so crazy to think how Jurassic Park took this dinosaur most people had never heard of and VAULTED it to fame, to stand tall with the T Rex and the Triceratops and the other "famous" dinosaurs. Tbh the original Jurassic Park is kind of the only Jurassic Park for me; none of the sequels have ever come close to it and they all felt very unnecessary. In my own head, Jurassic Park ended when the soaring score from that first movie ended. That's all I needed.
I saw this movie in the theatre when I was about 4 years old. Such a great experience that I will never forget. I remember just being in awe. Hands down my favorite dinosaur movie of all time.
When I first saw Jurassic Park, it was probably when it came out on VHS. I instantly stopped having barbies and got toy dinosaurs. And I kept begging my mom about wanting to adopt a velociraptor.......I still want one to this day.
Tbh Andre has been getting me through the second wave of the Rona’ by going through his old videos and by watching his new ones. Couldn’t be more thankfull.
My Jurassic Order: 1. Jurassic Park - One of my 50 favorite movies. 2. Lost World - I saw it first & had a lot of fun with this one. 3. Battle at Big Rock - What showed me that Colin Trevorrow needs better writers, but can direct this kind of stuff great. 4. World - I like the four leads & it had like 9 or 10 great scenes. 5. III - Very entertaining & mercifully short. 6. Fallen Kingdom - Decent, but oh so dumb.
It didn't scare me at first then I saw it again and even though I knew it wasn't real, you bet I was looking for raptors in kitchen that night. We didn't go to the movies often in my family, and we definitely didn't go more than once. But this movie was so huge and it stayed in theaters and I got the chance to see it again with friends.
Andre I remember being a teenager and going to see this movie at the theater. It was like the first day of summer or something. I remember thinking that anything was literally possible in the movies after seeing those Dino’s on the BIG screen come to life! What a magical moment in cinema history and my life. Now, I heard that the original Ghostbusters 👻 has released and is now leading the box office. I need a first time seeing that movie video!😎
I was 16yrs old when I saw this in the theaters in '93. I had chills from the moment they showed the Brontosaurus stamp its feet. And from the moment the T-Rex showed up and the insurance guy left the kids in the car, my leg would not stop involuntarily shaking. That never happened before and never again since. I am so happy I was able to experience it 😊
My favorite story about behind the making of Jurassic Park is when the T-Rex animatronic moved on it’s own and ate one of the people on set. The person turned out alive, of course but imagine how fucked up that was when it happened lmao
Maybe I'm wrong but I remember you saying Who Framed Rodger Rabbit was the first movie you saw by yourself in theaters. I love to hear more of that story, Andre.
I was born one year after the movie released, so unfortunately I never had the chance to see it in theaters at the time. But my parents saw it with a friend named Billy and they were both awestruck and terrified at the same time! When the scene of the T-Rex breaking out came, Billy left the theater and went into the arcade cuz he was afraid, and my parents looked around the theater asking “Wait, where’s Billy?” 🤣 The first time I saw Jurassic Park was on TV in the early 2000s, and I LOVED IT!! What I sometimes think about is the scene where we first see the brachiosaurus walking towards the tree and the beautiful John Williams score starts playing, I don’t think we’ll ever have another scene like that in any movie in the future that will top that moment where a vast majority of us had never seen special effects like that ever! That’s why Jurassic Park, along with Spielberg’s many other masterpieces like Jaws, should be viewed by many and be appreciated for what it was able to accomplish: seeing dinosaurs rise again in pure movie magic 🦖🦕🎥✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Thank you Andre. I just wanted to say that because I just made my 99th video on UA-cam, and in the video, I let the world know that you are one of my influences to continue making videos for 6 years now. Thank you man. Cheers!
I was terrified when I saw the first Jurassic Park.... although I think I might have saw the second first? The only thing that got me over it were all the cool toys, lol. I don't know about today, but they use to have the best dinosaur toy line.
For a moment, I thought this video would be one of those "first-time viewing" reactions I've seen popping up everywhere. I couldn't believe you'd somehow gone so long without seeing Jurassic-flipping Park. Glad to know I misinterpreted the title completely. Never doubt Andre's nerd cred. Ever.
Jurassic Park is a very special movie. A combination of great acting, a wonderful soundtrack, a simple yet griping story, and ground breaking special effects that still hold up today. RIP Richard Attenborough (Hammond) and Bob Peck (Muldoon).
Jurassic Park still holds my personal record of being the most seen movie in the theatre - 9x. the first time i saw it (13yrs old), it was beyond floored. Kettering Twin Cinemas in Kettering Ohio was where I saw it all 9 times. I wasn't scared, but i was amazed. Never before had I seen anything like that on screen, and by the 4th time, i had it pretty well memorized. lol
I'll never forget seeing JP in theaters! It was a rainy day( I swear every JP movie I saw, it rained!) and my mom treated us to the movies, knowing my love of Dinosaurs. Now, the effects were terrifyingly real, but this didn't scare me like Dinosaurs under the bed; it was the awe of how believable and amazing these creatures could looked in real life!
I don't remember my first viewing but for some reason my parents let me watch it. The raptors are way scarier than anything else. I would have nightmares of being trapped in a school with raptors chasing me. Ah childhood.
Omg blame jurrasic park on super Mario Bros failure 😂😂 I would love to hear more about your first time seeing movies! This was such a funny video, thank you Andre!
This film was an EVENT for my family. We rarely (meaning never) went to the theatre to see anything. No one was spending money for a bunch of kids to see a new movie. They were already paying for Disney and HBO so we usually had to wait lol But my grandmother (family matriarch) really wanted to see Jurassic Park so my grandfather took all of us out. I was... 13? So friggin exciting! Since CG was still so new, I'm not lying when I state that we were all convinced that dinosaurs must still exist somehow in order for the movie to be made :P We could not fathom any other explanation for its existence. And that feeling, being completely taken in by the magic of a film... ah
I love how they used modern animal sounds for the dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus rex's sounds were made using sounds recorded from the squeals of a baby elephant, a dog playing with a rope toy, an alligator's gurgling, a whale breathing through its blowhole and a tiger's snarl. The Dilophosaurus was a mix of a hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey.
At the AMC near me they would still do matinee showings on certain days when they were open but I'd wait until the evening or night since that's when my friends were available to go. It would've been amazing to see this movie in theaters and I wish I did but I wasn't born till 97 lol but it's a fantastic movie and this was a fantastic video! Thank you for your story, it was really enjoyable and fun!!
I will not be one bit surprised if Yellowstone blows up and it releases dinosaurs that were frozen underground or something. At this point I think we're pretty much down to that, aliens, WW3, zombies, and CATS 2 Another great video Andre! I wasn't able to see this one in theaters, but my roommates did and quoted it so much that when I finally got to rent it from Blockbuster, I already knew most of the script, just not the order in which it happened 🙃 However, I do still remember when my dad took me to see Star Wars, that's another one that was just special the first time. He didn't get as excited about movies as I did, but he still went out and bought the soundtrack, and on Sundays when we'd listen to music and eat donuts or pecan rolls while reading the paper, sometimes he'd pull out the Star Wars and Mom would roll her eyes because she knew we'd start talking about the movie again.
LUCKY!! I wanted so bad to see it in theaters back in 93. I was 5 or 6 when this movie came out, and already a HUGE dinosaur nerd. (I still am!!) We were a poorer family, so I never got to see it in theaters, unfortunately. I had to wait an entire year for the VHS release, while all of my classmates, teachers, aunts, uncles and cousins all got to see it before me. (The same exact thing happened in 97' with The Lost World: Jurassic Park!!) But when I finally saw it on VHS in October 94'.... I was blown away!! I wasn't even scared at the T-Rex escape/attack scene, I was more in awe!! (My younger siblings and cousins were more scared than I was!!) I'd never seen anything like it before and will always remember that night at home, where I discovered my favorite movie of all time!! (It still is to this day!!)
Firstly I was born in 93 so I didn't get to see Jurassic Park in theaters unfortunately lol all of my experiences with the first 3 JP movies was on vhs/dvd Secondly I can understand the feeling of wishing that movie magic was still a thing but I really enjoy getting to see such fully detailed behind the scenes stuff. It gives everyone a chance to really see how much it takes and how LONG it takes for soooo many people to put together just 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hour films. It's a double edged sword I think because I love the movie magic but at the same time I want to fully appreciate and recognize the people crafting the art. Great video Andre❤
I remember the special you are talking about....barely. I remember it getting me hyped for the movie, and I also was able to get a book going into the same things. As I had much more time with the book, that was the big thing i remember going into before the movie. it showcased 7 or 8 of the dinosaurs, giving not only some of what they did for the movie, but also gave a few scientific facts about each as well. I remember that I was able to go see the movie 4 times in theaters, which was crazy for me. The thing that sticks out most to me, is that someone in the audience, at each of my viewings, screamed when the goat leg fell on top of the car at the beginning of the T-rex scene. So when I finally got the home video version, I was surprised that there was no scream, and it took me a few years to peace together that it had come from the audience.
I saw this movie for the first time as a child when it was rereleased in theatre so for 3D. My parents made sure I could go see it because I was (and am) totally obsessed with dinosaurs. My dad and I were the only only people in the theatres. Because of my anxiety, my mom told me the kids would make it out and I had a lot of JP books so was well-prepared for the deaths. This is my favourite movie of all time, I always have a big goofy smile on my face the whole time.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that got freaked out! I was so frightened as a kid by this movie that I actually had nightmares and trouble sleeping for a couple years. (Thanks mum and dad!)
Jurassic Park came out when I was about five years old. During that time, I had been independently going through a 'dinosaur phase'. I loved dinosaurs, I had tons of books and toys that I cherished all because I was fascinated by the creatures that occupied the world before me. I imagine you can see where this is going, haha! I didn't see the movie in theaters, I was too little, but I distinctly remember when Jurassic Park came out. I remember the trailers for it clearly. Well, one unremarkable afternoon my dad was watching TV in the living room. I was in the opposite side of the house, but I heard a snippet of that John Williams score and I came FLYING across the house and demanded to watch the dinosaur movie with my dad. My parents had rented it. I don't know why they didn't predict my interest in the film (or perhaps they did predict it, but didn't realize everything the movie would contain-either way) I was allowed to watch the movie with my dad. It scared me out of my skin. The wondering awe at the beginning when you see the Brachiosaurus, the excitement of getting to metaphorically ride along in the Jeep with those kids to explore the park-I was totally hooked. Then, the ominous rain, the foreboding creak of the paddock fensing, the T-rex claws in the dark... the rising tension clutched my chest, my young heart beat against my ribs, and from there the movie only got scarier and more intense as the ill-fated arrogance of man played out on the screen as the park descended into chaos. BUT I LOVED DINOSAURS. So, I adamantly forced my little five year old self to watch the entire movie, stubbornly hiding my terror because I knew if my dad realized I was scared he would turn it off. Haha! I scarred myself, for years after I had nightmares of raptors hunting me in kitchens but my love of dinosaurs remained intact and to this day Jurassic Park is still one of my very favorite movies. For as scary as it was to my young mind, Jurassic Park is one of the first movies I can remember that created vivid suspension of disbelief as a viewer, and it was an early introduction into my abiding passion for film making and a powerful lesson in storytelling. I go back and watch Jurassic Park now and relish in the careful, precise construction of the plot and the delightful, talented execution by the actors, the craftsmanship of the production effects. So many years later, I still feel that it is a film that is engaging, entertaining, and of markedly high quality.
My family saw jurassic park in one of those cheaper theaters that gets movies a little later than others. I couldn't have been older than 5, but I distinctly remember seeing the toilet scene and freaking out. It took me a long time to trust bathrooms again.
my reaction to reading the title: Wait we have this huge nerd like the rest of us and he's never SEEN IT?!? Oh hell nah! Thankfully he cleared that up and he's reaction to it made me pee myself laughing.
I had already read the book , before I saw the film. Saw it opening weekend with my family. We got there early and were able to sit 4 rows from the front. When the man got out of the jeep and left the kids, to run to the toilet. (Sorry forgot character name) oh the shame lol. I couldn't help it, I shouted "get back in the effing car". Please remember I was surrounded by families with small children. My mum was so embarrassed. Best cinema experience ever. Jarasic Park is my favourite film. Cant tell you how many times I've watched it. Happy days
Andre. I have thoroughly enjoyed you gushing over my favorite film! I was the same exact way! I remember falling asleep at my grandmas watching this for the 100th time, but waking up right at the raptors in the kitchen scene. I was so scared! Lol. I could watch this film everyday.
The thing I remember most about Jurassic Park is the lines outside the cinema around the block to see the movie and it way after the first showings. First time I had ever seen anything like that.
Please do a video about Space Jam next. It's one of the best basketball movies of all time!!! It's Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes. Something like that shouldn't have worked, but it did and it was great!!!
Thanks for making videos man. I’ve been a fan since smurf all of the lights parody😂. This year has been a bummer and your videos are keeping me positive! Love what you do!🙏❤️
Maaaan, the first time I saw Jurassic Park with my brother and either my Dad or Grandfather... I remember being terrified, but my brother was actually CRYING during the t-rex scene and when Dennis got killed. For Both of us, It's one of our favorite movies of all time now.
I saw Jurassic Park at a drive-in when it was first released. I was 7 or 8 years old and my stepfather at the time tried to scare me during the scene where the lawyer gets eaten. Apparently, my reaction was to look at him, roll my eyes, and point to the screen with an "Um, can't you see I'm watching something?" look on my face, haha!
I saw Jurassic Park in theaters a week before my 5th birthday. The movie terrified me. It cement both a love and fear of dinosaurs that remains with me to this day. "Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and um, screaming, and merchandising." - Ian Malcolm
I had read the book a few months before the movie was announced, so re-read it the week before going to see it. And, yes, I was disappointed that a couple of my favorite scenes got changed. ("This is UNIX! I know this.") But overall, even knowing what to expect, it was an incredible experience.
This a good video Andre! Glad to see you making more content like this. Also,.Have you seen Amazon's "The Boys" Andre?? What're your thoughts on it, if you've seen it??
Can’t count the number of nightmares involving raptors I’ve had since seeing it. No other film has had that impact on me. One reason I’ll always love it.
I remembering going to see Jurassic Park when it first came out. I was 7 years old and I loved it. A family sat in front of us got up and walked out when the raptor feeding scene came on.
I was like 5 or 6 years old when I watched this movie and boy I was really into dinosaurs so much. I wish I did watch this film in theater, but I’m still am glad I watched it on VHS on the heavy wooden carved tv form. Those were the days for me.
I was 2 when Jurassic Park came out, and although I was too young to see it in theatres, here in the UK I remember we had billboard advertisements for the movie, and I remember being in the back seat of the car as we were driving around town, and looking up and seeing this enormous billboard towering over me with the JP logo, and seeing those big bold reds and yellows and the image of the tyrannosaurus skeleton, and that's probably my earliest memory that I can recall so clearly. I didn't actually see Jurassic Park until 1997 when I was 6, my dad bought it on VHS so we could watch it the day before we went to see The Lost World JP at the cinema.
I recently took my siblings to watch jurassic Park for their first time, especially in the theaters for me. I could only land front row seats due to safety guidelines but WOW, what an experience. Nothing like it! I was still at the edge of my seat.
I don't think >anyone< was prepared for how good Jurassic Park was going to be. It seems to me that expectations were just for a typical 1993 action film but nobody knew that the story was going to be funny, smart, scary, and thrilling -- or that the effects were going to be a quantum leap past anything that had ever been done before (and indeed would not be surpassed for many years afterward). People also weren't prepared for the fact that it was going to have superb acting, or one of the best soundtracks of all time. Basically, nobody went in expecting a flawless film but that's exactly what it was, so it blew everyone's socks off.
Still one of my favorite movies! Some memories from seeing it the first time (I was 9 when it came out): 1. Dropping off my friend at her house after the movie and my mom went in with her for a few minutes. Sitting alone in the car in the dark, I was CONVINCED a T Rex was about to come charging at me from down the street 2. About the sound: I have a vague memory that this was one of the first films shown with surround sound? I feel like I remember that being part of the hype 3. My cousin and I spent the summer it came out pretending to be velociraptors and hunting our little sisters 😂
9:46 talking about real dinosaurs reminds me of an episode of Mystery Hunters. I think season 2 episode 15 where they talk about reports of people claiming to have seen a real dinosaur.
One thing I still remember when I saw JP in 1993. That scene when the t-rex spit out the goat leg and it landed on the glass. Two grown ladies screamed loud and ran out.
Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark. With all the dinosaurs are running wild.
I understood that reference. #WeirdAl
What a WEIRD thing to say... ;)
John Hammond certainly dared to be stupid.
I remember my mom always yelling"JOSH, JURASSIC PARK IS ON!!" And I would scramble to the remote trying to find which channel it was on. Aaaah, memories
That was how my parents slowly prepared me to see JP. I love dinosaurs so when I was a kid, my mom and dad would call me down to see certain scenes when it was on TV.
My dad wanted to take me and brother to the live action TMNT but we got there late. So instead we saw Jurassic Park. The part when the lawyer got eaten. A grown woman ran out screaming. I was seven. Favorite memory movie going experience by far.
LMAO That sounds friggin' hilarious & awesome
Hahahahaha
They even had actors in the audience 😲
Ah the beauty of hiding one's craft in a movie. The mystery of "How day do dat?" Bring it back
Jim henson used to do that to me constantly lol.
@@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD same with Gorge Lucas
I think the problem is they mostly only do it 1 way anymore. Green screen with cgi. So, unless they do it practically, we already know.
That's how I was when first seeing the dragons in GoT. Super amazing ^_^

I saw it when it came out in ‘93 with my dad. During the t-Rex scene I was covering my face with my hands and my dad was saying, “take down your hands. I paid good money and you wanted to see this.” He thought it was hilarious
The thing I remember most about Jurassic Park was just how long it was in the theaters. It stayed in the theaters for a year. A whole year. And I didn't live in a little podunk town in 1993/94. It was in the main, big theater for a year.
I remember the same thing with HOME ALONE, TERMINATOR 2, and PULP FICTION.
@Edward Lee Miller To be fair, at the time there were only a couple dozen new movies coming out every year, pre-pandemic there were that many new movies coming out in a month. That's largely why Blockbuster was able to get away with having an entire wall with 400 copies of a New Release movie. If they'd survived to modern times, they would have had to reduce their New Releases to a single shelf of 30 copies just to fit all of the new movies.
Think about Spielberg's start to the 90's....
Hook - hokey but fun kids film
Jurassic Park - powerhouse of special effects & storytelling
Schindler's List - pure, perfect storytelling, his magnum opus
That's a hell of a way to kick off a decade.
I just inexplicably rewatched this a few nights ago. Does something about quarantine make us crave Jurassic Park?
Probably to put the world into perspective... "Well, at least we don't have dinosaurs..."
Ha!
@@BlackNerdComedy DONT JINX IT DUDE!!
2020 makes me want to be eaten by raptors. Ngl.
@@BlackNerdComedy hah, how about more that folks want to feel like scientists can perform miraculous things?
This is my favourite movie of all time. I was 10 years old when I first saw it. I watched it with my brother and two of his friends. When I was growing up I had a fascination of dinosaurs, and to see this movie was something special. I was pretty much like you. Not as nerdy but I was amazed, astonished and I loved it.
I've written many essays on it and every time I would realise how much I loved it and how much passion i felt behind this movie. This is movie magic.
You know what I feel like making a video now.
It is also my favorite movie! To the point that I would be super interested to read your essays haha. It's such a great movie.
Your reenactment of Jurassic Park is giving me life 😂😂
Jurassic Park is what sparked my love for Dino’s so much that even took a paleontology class in college thinking I could be like Dr. Grant, then I realized almost everything about dinosaurs was in Latin and I was out lol
Same. Well, almost same. I actually wanted to be an archeologist, but I'm allergic to heat and the sun, so that would have narrowed where I could have gone on digs, so I became a cartoonist instead.
I was 12 when this PG-13 movie came out, so my mom refused to let me see the movie in theatres. (That, and the movie TERRIFIED her when she saw it.) So I had to wait until it came out on VHS, but the moment we got that VHS home, I watched that movie all by myself and loved it! We even bought the Making of Jurassic Park book, which helped launch my forever love for behind-the-scenes movie magic, and that book still has a prominent place on my bookshelf.
The t-rex paddock attack scene is easily the most intense scene in the whole movie for me. It’s weird, because as a kid I thrilled at how scary it would be to be in that situation the kids found themselves in, but now that I’m a parent, that scene is actually harder to watch. You KNOW those kids aren’t acting, they are legitimately terrified! I just want to protect them... I love that my son loves this movie, too. He especially loves the raptors. ;)
I was 11 going on 12 and I was supposed to be grounded for something. My dad told my mom that the movie will be scary enough that it will be like a punishment lol so I got to see it with them haha. I had a scary dream about the dinosaurs that night lol.
M X, that’s a rather hilarious punishment. ;) I suspect your dad just wanted to see the movie and was kind enough to include you. What a fun memory!
At the kitchen scene I was actually hidding behind the seats, and my mom was like "Dude, this isn't real get out"... but I didn't xD
I was eight when Jurassic Park came out and I was OBSESSED with dinosaurs...so naturally, I was taken to see it in theatres. It wasn't the first movie I saw in the theatres (I truly cannot remember what that honour goes to), but it was the first thriller I saw - and yes, it was scary, but all I remember is having just so much fun with it! I was hiding in my seat laughing my ass off, my mom was there laughing at the thrills, the audience was completely into it...quite frankly, it's one of my favourite childhood memories. :) I don't think I had as much fun at the cinema again until the opening night of Avengers: Endgame last year and listening to the audience hooting and hollering at every important moment. :)
Well, Andre, my story isn't as special as yours, but, 'ere goes nothin'.
I'm in my early 20s, so I wasn't born when Jurassic Park came out, but when I was really young (I'd say around 4-5 years old) I was crazy into dinosaurs. I loved watching Walking With Dinosaurs on TV, and Barney on PBS kids when it came on in the mornings. I remember watching Jurassic Park on TV for the first time at my Grandmother's house, and it really opened my eyes to the world of dinosaurs. The brachiosaur, the sick trike, the T-rex...it was amazing. As a kid you never really take into account that it's all special effects, I legitimately thought it was real. But, long story short, I've been a Jurassic fan ever since, and I finally got that theatre experience when they re-released the movie in 3D not too long ago. Almost brought me to tears.
I'm 36 years old, I have some memories of my childhood still and one of them is being so impressed with my dad for going to see Jurassic Park because we were definitely a no-scary-movies house, his coworkers invited him so he went and came back and was like "Yup. It was scary." my sister and I were like "Whooooa" hahaha
Jurassic Park was the movie of the year! I saw it in the theater too. I was in love with Sam Neill ever since I saw him in Reilly Ace of Spies (I'm super old), so I really loved seeing him as the hero in JP.
When I first gazed at Jurassic Park, I was thrilled and amazed at the CG and the story. Constantly on edge wishing for the heroes to survive! One of the best films of the 90s!
It's interesting that they used animal sounds for the Jurassic Park dinosaurs.
The Raptors were a combo of underwater dolphin screams and walrus chest cavity roars.
The Tyrannosaurus rex utilized primarily the sounds of a baby elephant, alligator and tiger.
Dilophosaurus was a combo of a hawk, howler monkey, swan and rattlesnake.
Man this movie was my Childhood. Along with the first Land before time and Disney's Dinosaur.Probably why I love dinosaurs now.
I love Andre's laugh. I need that right now. Keep it up, Andre!!
I first saw Jurassic Park when I was 10 with my brother in my grandparents basement when we were staying over for the weekend. I didn’t know anything about the movie, so my brother had to hype it up and I got really excited to watch it. It’s not my favorite movie ever, but it was awesome to stay up late with the lights off and watch a movie with dinosaurs.
I wasn't born when Jurassic Park came out but I did watch it a LOT on VHS when I was a kid, still love it but my nostalgia with it is VHS in the afternoon, so to me it was always a movie. The movie where I had that "OMG IT'S REAL" feeling where I was completely immersed in the experience was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Also yes please do more videos like this.
I remember seeing it! I was 7 years old and my uncle took us to see it at "the Big M" drive in movie theater in Maryland. I SOMEHOW fell asleep during the movie (don't ask me how with all the dinosaur yells and screaming!)
Jurassic Park is pure nostalgia.
Your videos are getting me through this pandemic! Always looking forward to the next vid! Thank you so much for being awesome!
I remember that I was supposed to be camping the week I saw the movie, it did not go well. That flimsy little nylon tent wasn't going to be doing any good. I wanted solid walls between me and the outside world after seeing that movie.
A close friend of mine grew up on the east side of the Berlin Wall. Her only screen entertainment was state run television. The first American movie she ever saw, in color, in a theater was Jurassic Park. It was very formative. Even now as an adult, she will not have lever doorknobs in her home. Only knobs because raptors can't open those .
In hindsight, it is a really funny commentary by Steven Spielberg that the kids come out fine, but the lawyer gets eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Rawr! 🦖🦕🦎🐊
I saw Jurassic Park back in 1997 (I know I'm late I was 6 years old) I caught it around the part where the power went out for the fence.
I love the fierce thumbnail! Haha! keep up the funny and great videos just like this one!❣️😃
Loved your story! I remember mg first JP experience, I was snooping in my parents room and I found the JP VHS in one of the drawers. Being a movie addict I asked my mom about it and she said she hid it cause it' was too scary and instructed me not to watch it. Of coarse I watched it and some how it DIDN'T scare me and this was at a time when watching Beauty and the Beast scared the beejeebus out of me. Still love JP to this day!
My parents took me to see Jurassic Park when it came out, even though I was only about 3 years old. I actually vividly remember the T Rex attack, but not once did I cry or freak out. I actually came out of the theater stomping my feet and acting like I was a dinosaur. To say that Jurassic was an influence on my childhood would be an enormous lie. Jurassic Park WAS my childhood. Because of that movie, all of my heroes growing up were scientists rather than superheros (not that I didn't have a huge soft spot for Batman at the time). I haven't let go of that sense of wonder that was instilled in me, even 27 years later.
THIS! All of it! Absolutely larger than life amazing, then absolutely terrifying to an 12 year old in 93. "Clever Girl..." 👀
I saw Jurassic Park in the theater while I was in Minnesota visiting my aunts and grandparents. I think we chose it because one of my aunt's had heard it was good. Not sure if I'd even seen a trailer for it? Anyway, I came out of that theater with my MIND BLOWN. I was scared, I was excited, and I'd learned about Velociraptors for the first time. It's so crazy to think how Jurassic Park took this dinosaur most people had never heard of and VAULTED it to fame, to stand tall with the T Rex and the Triceratops and the other "famous" dinosaurs.
Tbh the original Jurassic Park is kind of the only Jurassic Park for me; none of the sequels have ever come close to it and they all felt very unnecessary. In my own head, Jurassic Park ended when the soaring score from that first movie ended. That's all I needed.
I saw this movie in the theatre when I was about 4 years old. Such a great experience that I will never forget. I remember just being in awe. Hands down my favorite dinosaur movie of all time.
When I first saw Jurassic Park, it was probably when it came out on VHS. I instantly stopped having barbies and got toy dinosaurs. And I kept begging my mom about wanting to adopt a velociraptor.......I still want one to this day.
Tbh Andre has been getting me through the second wave of the Rona’ by going through his old videos and by watching his new ones. Couldn’t be more thankfull.
My Jurassic Order:
1. Jurassic Park - One of my 50 favorite movies.
2. Lost World - I saw it first & had a lot of fun with this one.
3. Battle at Big Rock - What showed me that Colin Trevorrow needs better writers, but can direct this kind of stuff great.
4. World - I like the four leads & it had like 9 or 10 great scenes.
5. III - Very entertaining & mercifully short.
6. Fallen Kingdom - Decent, but oh so dumb.
It didn't scare me at first then I saw it again and even though I knew it wasn't real, you bet I was looking for raptors in kitchen that night. We didn't go to the movies often in my family, and we definitely didn't go more than once. But this movie was so huge and it stayed in theaters and I got the chance to see it again with friends.
It is a perfect summer blockbuster movie. Not surprised that it's on top again. It's always been syndicated on tv for a reason, we all love it!
Andre I remember being a teenager and going to see this movie at the theater. It was like the first day of summer or something. I remember thinking that anything was literally possible in the movies after seeing those Dino’s on the BIG screen come to life! What a magical moment in cinema history and my life. Now, I heard that the original Ghostbusters 👻 has released and is now leading the box office. I need a first time seeing that movie video!😎
I was 16yrs old when I saw this in the theaters in '93. I had chills from the moment they showed the Brontosaurus stamp its feet. And from the moment the T-Rex showed up and the insurance guy left the kids in the car, my leg would not stop involuntarily shaking. That never happened before and never again since. I am so happy I was able to experience it 😊
I love Jurassic Park! It's the reason why Toronto picked their basketball team name
We the North! :P
Jurassic Park was one the first movies where i noticed that having highly quality surround sound was integral to the movie watching experience.
My favorite story about behind the making of Jurassic Park is when the T-Rex animatronic moved on it’s own and ate one of the people on set. The person turned out alive, of course but imagine how fucked up that was when it happened lmao
Yeah I think we both should hop on a time machine back to the nineties, no more 2020 for me
Here here, I second this motion! All in favor?!
Maybe I'm wrong but I remember you saying Who Framed Rodger Rabbit was the first movie you saw by yourself in theaters. I love to hear more of that story, Andre.
I was born one year after the movie released, so unfortunately I never had the chance to see it in theaters at the time. But my parents saw it with a friend named Billy and they were both awestruck and terrified at the same time! When the scene of the T-Rex breaking out came, Billy left the theater and went into the arcade cuz he was afraid, and my parents looked around the theater asking “Wait, where’s Billy?” 🤣 The first time I saw Jurassic Park was on TV in the early 2000s, and I LOVED IT!! What I sometimes think about is the scene where we first see the brachiosaurus walking towards the tree and the beautiful John Williams score starts playing, I don’t think we’ll ever have another scene like that in any movie in the future that will top that moment where a vast majority of us had never seen special effects like that ever! That’s why Jurassic Park, along with Spielberg’s many other masterpieces like Jaws, should be viewed by many and be appreciated for what it was able to accomplish: seeing dinosaurs rise again in pure movie magic 🦖🦕🎥✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Thank you Andre. I just wanted to say that because I just made my 99th video on UA-cam, and in the video, I let the world know that you are one of my influences to continue making videos for 6 years now. Thank you man. Cheers!
I was terrified when I saw the first Jurassic Park.... although I think I might have saw the second first? The only thing that got me over it were all the cool toys, lol. I don't know about today, but they use to have the best dinosaur toy line.
For a moment, I thought this video would be one of those "first-time viewing" reactions I've seen popping up everywhere. I couldn't believe you'd somehow gone so long without seeing Jurassic-flipping Park. Glad to know I misinterpreted the title completely.
Never doubt Andre's nerd cred. Ever.
Jurassic Park is a very special movie. A combination of great acting, a wonderful soundtrack, a simple yet griping story, and ground breaking special effects that still hold up today. RIP Richard Attenborough (Hammond) and Bob Peck (Muldoon).
Happy to say they still do that. Always made sure to see movies around noon time to get a cheaper ticket price.
Jurassic Park still holds my personal record of being the most seen movie in the theatre - 9x. the first time i saw it (13yrs old), it was beyond floored. Kettering Twin Cinemas in Kettering Ohio was where I saw it all 9 times. I wasn't scared, but i was amazed. Never before had I seen anything like that on screen, and by the 4th time, i had it pretty well memorized. lol
Andre! Hope you are doing well rn, always sweet to get a notification from your channel❗🔥
I'll never forget seeing JP in theaters! It was a rainy day( I swear every JP movie I saw, it rained!) and my mom treated us to the movies, knowing my love of Dinosaurs. Now, the effects were terrifyingly real, but this didn't scare me like Dinosaurs under the bed; it was the awe of how believable and amazing these creatures could looked in real life!
I don't remember my first viewing but for some reason my parents let me watch it. The raptors are way scarier than anything else. I would have nightmares of being trapped in a school with raptors chasing me. Ah childhood.
Omg blame jurrasic park on super Mario Bros failure 😂😂 I would love to hear more about your first time seeing movies! This was such a funny video, thank you Andre!
This film was an EVENT for my family. We rarely (meaning never) went to the theatre to see anything. No one was spending money for a bunch of kids to see a new movie. They were already paying for Disney and HBO so we usually had to wait lol But my grandmother (family matriarch) really wanted to see Jurassic Park so my grandfather took all of us out. I was... 13?
So friggin exciting! Since CG was still so new, I'm not lying when I state that we were all convinced that dinosaurs must still exist somehow in order for the movie to be made :P We could not fathom any other explanation for its existence. And that feeling, being completely taken in by the magic of a film... ah
I love how they used modern animal sounds for the dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus rex's sounds were made using sounds recorded from the squeals of a baby elephant, a dog playing with a rope toy, an alligator's gurgling, a whale breathing through its blowhole and a tiger's snarl. The Dilophosaurus was a mix of a hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey.
At the AMC near me they would still do matinee showings on certain days when they were open but I'd wait until the evening or night since that's when my friends were available to go. It would've been amazing to see this movie in theaters and I wish I did but I wasn't born till 97 lol but it's a fantastic movie and this was a fantastic video! Thank you for your story, it was really enjoyable and fun!!
I will not be one bit surprised if Yellowstone blows up and it releases dinosaurs that were frozen underground or something. At this point I think we're pretty much down to that, aliens, WW3, zombies, and CATS 2
Another great video Andre! I wasn't able to see this one in theaters, but my roommates did and quoted it so much that when I finally got to rent it from Blockbuster, I already knew most of the script, just not the order in which it happened 🙃 However, I do still remember when my dad took me to see Star Wars, that's another one that was just special the first time. He didn't get as excited about movies as I did, but he still went out and bought the soundtrack, and on Sundays when we'd listen to music and eat donuts or pecan rolls while reading the paper, sometimes he'd pull out the Star Wars and Mom would roll her eyes because she knew we'd start talking about the movie again.
LUCKY!! I wanted so bad to see it in theaters back in 93.
I was 5 or 6 when this movie came out, and already a HUGE dinosaur nerd. (I still am!!) We were a poorer family, so I never got to see it in theaters, unfortunately. I had to wait an entire year for the VHS release, while all of my classmates, teachers, aunts, uncles and cousins all got to see it before me. (The same exact thing happened in 97' with The Lost World: Jurassic Park!!)
But when I finally saw it on VHS in October 94'.... I was blown away!! I wasn't even scared at the T-Rex escape/attack scene, I was more in awe!! (My younger siblings and cousins were more scared than I was!!) I'd never seen anything like it before and will always remember that night at home, where I discovered my favorite movie of all time!! (It still is to this day!!)
Firstly I was born in 93 so I didn't get to see Jurassic Park in theaters unfortunately lol all of my experiences with the first 3 JP movies was on vhs/dvd
Secondly I can understand the feeling of wishing that movie magic was still a thing but I really enjoy getting to see such fully detailed behind the scenes stuff. It gives everyone a chance to really see how much it takes and how LONG it takes for soooo many people to put together just 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hour films. It's a double edged sword I think because I love the movie magic but at the same time I want to fully appreciate and recognize the people crafting the art.
Great video Andre❤
I remember the special you are talking about....barely. I remember it getting me hyped for the movie, and I also was able to get a book going into the same things. As I had much more time with the book, that was the big thing i remember going into before the movie. it showcased 7 or 8 of the dinosaurs, giving not only some of what they did for the movie, but also gave a few scientific facts about each as well. I remember that I was able to go see the movie 4 times in theaters, which was crazy for me. The thing that sticks out most to me, is that someone in the audience, at each of my viewings, screamed when the goat leg fell on top of the car at the beginning of the T-rex scene. So when I finally got the home video version, I was surprised that there was no scream, and it took me a few years to peace together that it had come from the audience.
I saw this movie for the first time as a child when it was rereleased in theatre so for 3D. My parents made sure I could go see it because I was (and am) totally obsessed with dinosaurs. My dad and I were the only only people in the theatres. Because of my anxiety, my mom told me the kids would make it out and I had a lot of JP books so was well-prepared for the deaths. This is my favourite movie of all time, I always have a big goofy smile on my face the whole time.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that got freaked out! I was so frightened as a kid by this movie that I actually had nightmares and trouble sleeping for a couple years. (Thanks mum and dad!)
Jurassic Park came out when I was about five years old. During that time, I had been independently going through a 'dinosaur phase'. I loved dinosaurs, I had tons of books and toys that I cherished all because I was fascinated by the creatures that occupied the world before me. I imagine you can see where this is going, haha!
I didn't see the movie in theaters, I was too little, but I distinctly remember when Jurassic Park came out. I remember the trailers for it clearly. Well, one unremarkable afternoon my dad was watching TV in the living room. I was in the opposite side of the house, but I heard a snippet of that John Williams score and I came FLYING across the house and demanded to watch the dinosaur movie with my dad. My parents had rented it. I don't know why they didn't predict my interest in the film (or perhaps they did predict it, but didn't realize everything the movie would contain-either way) I was allowed to watch the movie with my dad.
It scared me out of my skin. The wondering awe at the beginning when you see the Brachiosaurus, the excitement of getting to metaphorically ride along in the Jeep with those kids to explore the park-I was totally hooked. Then, the ominous rain, the foreboding creak of the paddock fensing, the T-rex claws in the dark... the rising tension clutched my chest, my young heart beat against my ribs, and from there the movie only got scarier and more intense as the ill-fated arrogance of man played out on the screen as the park descended into chaos. BUT I LOVED DINOSAURS. So, I adamantly forced my little five year old self to watch the entire movie, stubbornly hiding my terror because I knew if my dad realized I was scared he would turn it off. Haha! I scarred myself, for years after I had nightmares of raptors hunting me in kitchens but my love of dinosaurs remained intact and to this day Jurassic Park is still one of my very favorite movies.
For as scary as it was to my young mind, Jurassic Park is one of the first movies I can remember that created vivid suspension of disbelief as a viewer, and it was an early introduction into my abiding passion for film making and a powerful lesson in storytelling. I go back and watch Jurassic Park now and relish in the careful, precise construction of the plot and the delightful, talented execution by the actors, the craftsmanship of the production effects. So many years later, I still feel that it is a film that is engaging, entertaining, and of markedly high quality.
My family saw jurassic park in one of those cheaper theaters that gets movies a little later than others. I couldn't have been older than 5, but I distinctly remember seeing the toilet scene and freaking out. It took me a long time to trust bathrooms again.
my reaction to reading the title: Wait we have this huge nerd like the rest of us and he's never SEEN IT?!? Oh hell nah!
Thankfully he cleared that up and he's reaction to it made me pee myself laughing.
This movie came out 6 years before I was born, but I still love it to death.
I had already read the book , before I saw the film. Saw it opening weekend with my family. We got there early and were able to sit 4 rows from the front. When the man got out of the jeep and left the kids, to run to the toilet. (Sorry forgot character name) oh the shame lol. I couldn't help it, I shouted "get back in the effing car". Please remember I was surrounded by families with small children. My mum was so embarrassed. Best cinema experience ever. Jarasic Park is my favourite film. Cant tell you how many times I've watched it. Happy days
Great video bro
Fun fact: for the movie dragonheart, Draco was created using the same technology as the Trex in JP
Andre. I have thoroughly enjoyed you gushing over my favorite film! I was the same exact way! I remember falling asleep at my grandmas watching this for the 100th time, but waking up right at the raptors in the kitchen scene. I was so scared! Lol. I could watch this film everyday.
The thing I remember most about Jurassic Park is the lines outside the cinema around the block to see the movie and it way after the first showings. First time I had ever seen anything like that.
Please do a video about Space Jam next. It's one of the best basketball movies of all time!!! It's Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes. Something like that shouldn't have worked, but it did and it was great!!!
Thanks for making videos man. I’ve been a fan since smurf all of the lights parody😂. This year has been a bummer and your videos are keeping me positive! Love what you do!🙏❤️
Maaaan, the first time I saw Jurassic Park with my brother and either my Dad or Grandfather... I remember being terrified, but my brother was actually CRYING during the t-rex scene and when Dennis got killed. For Both of us, It's one of our favorite movies of all time now.
I saw Jurassic Park at a drive-in when it was first released. I was 7 or 8 years old and my stepfather at the time tried to scare me during the scene where the lawyer gets eaten.
Apparently, my reaction was to look at him, roll my eyes, and point to the screen with an "Um, can't you see I'm watching something?" look on my face, haha!
I saw Jurassic Park in theaters a week before my 5th birthday. The movie terrified me. It cement both a love and fear of dinosaurs that remains with me to this day.
"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and um, screaming, and merchandising." - Ian Malcolm
I had read the book a few months before the movie was announced, so re-read it the week before going to see it. And, yes, I was disappointed that a couple of my favorite scenes got changed. ("This is UNIX! I know this.") But overall, even knowing what to expect, it was an incredible experience.
This a good video Andre! Glad to see you making more content like this. Also,.Have you seen Amazon's "The Boys" Andre?? What're your thoughts on it, if you've seen it??
I really like the updated intro. The different footage makes it feel fresh. Not sure how long that's been your intro. But it's great, none the less.
That ad timing though lol "One...two..." *ad comes on* "Ka Pow!"
Can’t count the number of nightmares involving raptors I’ve had since seeing it. No other film has had that impact on me. One reason I’ll always love it.
I actually saw Jurassic Park in theater back in 1993 which started my obsession with dinosaurs as a kid.
I remembering going to see Jurassic Park when it first came out. I was 7 years old and I loved it. A family sat in front of us got up and walked out when the raptor feeding scene came on.
I was like 5 or 6 years old when I watched this movie and boy I was really into dinosaurs so much. I wish I did watch this film in theater, but I’m still am glad I watched it on VHS on the heavy wooden carved tv form. Those were the days for me.
Jurassic Park is the best!!! and btw i was born in 1993 so that movie is literally the same age as me! 27 years old!! Crazy
Me too
I was 2 when Jurassic Park came out, and although I was too young to see it in theatres, here in the UK I remember we had billboard advertisements for the movie, and I remember being in the back seat of the car as we were driving around town, and looking up and seeing this enormous billboard towering over me with the JP logo, and seeing those big bold reds and yellows and the image of the tyrannosaurus skeleton, and that's probably my earliest memory that I can recall so clearly. I didn't actually see Jurassic Park until 1997 when I was 6, my dad bought it on VHS so we could watch it the day before we went to see The Lost World JP at the cinema.
I still have to prepare myself for every time I watch the movie. The t-rex and raptor moments still scare me.
As a kid who had seen Rawhead Rex on UHF, I 100% thought those kids were about to get ate.
I recently took my siblings to watch jurassic Park for their first time, especially in the theaters for me. I could only land front row seats due to safety guidelines but WOW, what an experience. Nothing like it! I was still at the edge of my seat.
I don't think >anyone< was prepared for how good Jurassic Park was going to be. It seems to me that expectations were just for a typical 1993 action film but nobody knew that the story was going to be funny, smart, scary, and thrilling -- or that the effects were going to be a quantum leap past anything that had ever been done before (and indeed would not be surpassed for many years afterward). People also weren't prepared for the fact that it was going to have superb acting, or one of the best soundtracks of all time. Basically, nobody went in expecting a flawless film but that's exactly what it was, so it blew everyone's socks off.
Still one of my favorite movies! Some memories from seeing it the first time (I was 9 when it came out): 1. Dropping off my friend at her house after the movie and my mom went in with her for a few minutes. Sitting alone in the car in the dark, I was CONVINCED a T Rex was about to come charging at me from down the street 2. About the sound: I have a vague memory that this was one of the first films shown with surround sound? I feel like I remember that being part of the hype 3. My cousin and I spent the summer it came out pretending to be velociraptors and hunting our little sisters 😂
9:46 talking about real dinosaurs reminds me of an episode of Mystery Hunters. I think season 2 episode 15 where they talk about reports of people claiming to have seen a real dinosaur.
One thing I still remember when I saw JP in 1993. That scene when the t-rex spit out the goat leg and it landed on the glass. Two grown ladies screamed loud and ran out.
