@@tanelviil9149 - Not all countries celebrate Halloween. Also, what makes you think this wasn't their first time watching this movie? Their rection seemed genuine to me.
@@erwinzyx what makes you think people have never heard eminem?? bro wake up, youtubers are fake and reaction channels are also fake way over 95% they lie . you have to simply be logical about it If movies like Forrest Gump and jurassic park we're even shown in poor former communist countries back in the 90s then its hard to believe that people in America or the Uk have never seen those movies. get real man and grow up . I can even tell you the most fake reactors on youtube right now.
@@tanelviil9149 They do often times deny popular movie and TV show requests because they've already seen them before. There are like thousands of "classic" movies out there, it's no surprise some people haven't seen every single one of them, especially if they weren't that big into movies growing up. I bet you haven't heard every classic music song, read every classic book or played every classic game either.
1993, on my dads shoulders watching this because it was standing room only inside the odeon cinema in Birmingham. The next time I had an experience anywhere close to the hype of this film was fellowship of the ring.
I'd argue that the masterclass in moviemaking is the second one. Spielberg knew that he couldn't repeat the phenomenon that the first one was, so he threw his full talent and tradecraft at the second. It was not that much of a dino movie, but all the set pieces in it are executed *perfectly* from editing to music use to make the most suspense, tension, and excitement.
13:16 I love the subtle nod to "life finding a way". He has two female-ends to the seat belt, and ends up just tying them together. I never noticed that detail until recently.
This film is widely considered to be the first convincing use of CGI in film. It had been used before, but it was never able to fool the eye as well as Jurassic Park did.
I would suggest that Terminator 2, released 2 years before JP, was the first film where we truly saw the impact of CGI. That metallic Terminator effect still holds up today. But JP definitely brought a new, broader-reaching use of CGI , showing the scope of what it could accomplish, it brought dinosaurs to life in a way no-one had ever done before.
That's partly because it was a mix of CGI and puppetry. Giant puppets, but yeah! We can tell when something is CGI now because we're used to it all the time. This is more convincing because of the mix; our eyes get confused and this it's real!
@@Una1it’s the best, the rest balance between practical and CGI. Too many of todays fully CGI films don’t feel as realistic as these did (like comparing Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit films)
@@Una1these were mainly animatronics, which are different than puppets. Puppets, think Terminator 1 when the endoskeleton was walking in close quarters to Sarah and Kyle.
Sparta associating Steven Spielberg with "Band of Brothers" rather than "Jaws", "Close Encounters", "E.T. the Extraterrestrial", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Schindler's List" or even "Duel" makes me feel so, so old...
We are old, and experienced, and wiser for it. It's nice to have a big library to reference in daily life and it really exposes those with a tiny library of experience and knowledge. :D Edit: We were lucky to not have social media to eat up life cycles of time needed to grow that library.
Same its absolutely insane. They definitely need to take this journey, starting with all of the oldest and great classic adventures of Spielberg and of course some of the sci-fi ones too.
This was one of the greatest experiences I ever had in a theater. It was 1993 and nobody had ever seen CGI like this before - these dinosaurs were ALIVE. Now imagine them on that HUGE screen. It was jaw dropping.
This film was magic when it came out. Not even the immediate sequels (I thought Lost World was good) could recreate that experience. The newer, "Jurassic World" franchise are just a part of a long line of action flicks that lack the wonder of the original.
The funny thing is that even without having seen "Jurassic Park", the movie is probably the reason why the Velociraptor is Pudgey's favorite dinosaur... when the movie came out, neither me or any of our friends even knew it existed, despite knowing of (and having strong opinions about) the other higher profile dinosaurs. This movie slammed the Velociraptor directly into pop culture and it stuck hard.
There's a moment in this movie that I just adore. It's when they're in the Jeep being chased by the T-rex, and they show the T-rex in the jeep's mirror, with the warning visible: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". It's so clever, nothing is said about it, and the movie doesn't try to draw your attention to it. It's perfect.
I noticed this early on as a kid, and of all the reactions I've watched to this movie on YT I think only one person noticed, or at least mentioned, that bit of comedy.
Stan Winston’s full scale animatronics are why everyone was ‘blown away’ by the CGI, which was mostly hidden in shadow and rain. Not saying it wasn’t amazing - especially for the time. But Jurassic park is a blend of all movie trickery - at the highest level - and at the point that CGI became a fad before it came of age
Spartan reacting to the cow being fed to the Velociraptor. "What a stitch up, it's got no chance" Me: Eating a beefburger "yeah, that's proper sad" lol
This movie is based on a book by Michael Crichton. Crichton was actually a doctor who wanted to be a author, and eventually switched careers, and had immense success. His books were marked by being grounded in science, fact, and technology. He would even include bibliographies of the sources he used at the end of some of his books. He never wrote a sequel to any of his stories prior to the success of Jurassic Park. The Studio basically came to him and said we're going to make a sequel and we want it to be based on a book you wrote. As a result, he wrote "The Lost World." If you actually read the book of "The Lost World" it's almost completely different than the movie. All this is a long winded way of saying that Crichton's books are phenomenal and you should definitely check them out.
Watching young people react to this movie is fascinating...they have no awe in seeing the Dinos like we all did since they're so used to overload of CGI crap, but I think this movie's CGI actually looks more realistic than a lot of stuff now
There's a fantastic series of videos here on youtube with footage of them building the T-rex and other dino's behind the scenes, beginning with the little model and then scaling it up with ship-builders tecniques, and eventually carving the scales and the hydraulics. Just amazing to see.
Fun fact: The actor who plays John Hammond is the late Richard Attenborough, the older brother of famous documentary narrator Sir David Attenborough. Richard Attenborough is also the director of the 1982 film 'Gandhi' which won 8 academy awards including Best Picture, Best Director for himself and Best Actor for Sir Ben Kingsley.
There is also now a dinosaur named after David, though I like to imagine it’s a tribute to both of them, considering how closely tied their family name now is to Dinosaurs!
Why do so many reactors have a hard time understanding the jeep escaping the Rex? They told you earlier how fast they can run and you see that they speed up and the Rex gives up the chase. The dinosaurs are just animals. Moments like that show the Rex isn't a monster but just an animal who has different motives besides "eat anything that moves".
I think some might be confused by the surface the action takes place upon. It started out as pavement with a center track, but by the time the T-Rex escapes the vehicles are now on mud with no track or pavement. You're not supposed to notice that stuff in Spielberg movies on the first watch.
Also at 40:04 the trex stopped because she got tired, most large predators (cheetah, lion, tigers etc) are ambush predators, they get as close as they can before striking because they can only sprint for so long. Most successful hunts for tigers are 1/10, hence why you saw a successful hunt with the gallimimus where the trex was hiding in the trees
Came here to say this. Every single reactor who had this clip in the edit were equally flabbergasted. I'm confused.... does she know any creature on the planet that can flat out sprint indefinitely? "What distracted it?" Probably anaerobic muscle fatigue. Same reason humans have to stop sprinting, allowing the serial killer to calmly catch up by walking. And yes, thats why lions and tigers and cheetahs STALK their pray. They aint Forrest Gump. Also a jeep can do better than 32 mph. Hammond specifically told them they clocked the T-Rex at 32 mph.
Watching the T-rex attack the two stalled electric cars in the theater on opening night with a packed audience was one of the greatest cinematic experiences in my life.
Some loose ends from the movie are explained in the book that inspired the movie. In the book, it was a Stegasaurus that got sick every six weeks, not the Triceratops, but in any case, it was sick because much like birds, the Stegasaurus (and Triceratops) needed to swallow small stones to help digest plant matter. As it picked up the stones, it accidentally swallowed the Lilac berries too. The Lilac berry seeds remained with the stones, even when they were regurgitated every six weeks, which explains why there were no lilac seeds in the Dinosaur droppings. Also, something interesting from the books that wasn't in the movie was that, most of the dinosaurs were sick or ailing from something. The T-rex had skin issues due to an allergy to modern plants, the Triceratops was having difficulty with labored breathing due to our modern world having less oxygen in the air than what the dinosaurs were evolved to breathe. The book really explained a lot of little issues with running a theme park full of pre-historic animals, and the park operator's need to learn HOW to take care of the animals, such as brushing the T-rex's teeth! I recommend reading the book, not only does it immerse you in Jurassic Park a lot better since you take your time with the story, but also because the book is scarier. So add that to your reading list people!
@@gergopiroska5749 I don't recall the frog DNA being the reason for the impairment. I think it was a generally accepted theory back then that Trex had poor vision.
Malcolm's speech during the dinner scene is iconic, as a kid you didn't bother about it, all you wanted to see were the dinosaurs, but when you rewatch it once you became older, you see that he was the smartest person there. While others, especially Hammond and Gennaro (the lawyer) thought they had it all under control and could make lots of money with it, Malcolm realised that this was something way too powerful to be wielded by humans and that these things can go horribly wrong.
7? Your parents didn’t think you were too young to take you? I mean I was probably 10 or younger when I saw it on TV w my brother but idk if our parents were aware 😂
Whenever you're tempted to respond to someone with a smart-arse comment, it behoves you to first ensure that you know whereof you speak. TL;DR Version: You come at the king, you'd best not miss. And you, Callum, have missed by a mile. For I was not being in the least bit pedantic, merely factual. The dinosaurs represented in this film, as in the original book, may be called "Velociraptors", but they are in fact the much larger Deinonychus. The author, Michael Crichton, simply liked the name Velociraptor as it sounded more dangerous and awe-inspiring. Velociraptor were about the size of a Turkey, and the author needed something larger and more threatening, which is why he based his version on the Deinonychus but called it Velociraptor. This is what's known as literary license. It's a work of fiction. I trust this exchange has taught you something about the importance of doing your research, and not attempting to be a smart-arse online until such time as you actually have some smarts. Have a nice day now, Callum 😉
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Took an entire essay to prove my point exactly hahahaha. Arm chair "genius". Off to bed now lil fella. You've given me no information I didn't already know. Essentially you wasted your own time and made yourself look fragile. Well done
@@bvbxiong5791 I’m their age and Spielberg films were easily accessible on regular TV, especially during the holidays. They’ll show this, ET, Indiana Jones etc so surprised they’ve seen so little. Maybe it’s not licensed heavily in Australia like the UK. But Spielberg is the goat imo
Stegosaurus were on the earth around 150 -175 million years ago, while trex 60 million. That means man and rex were closer in existence than trex and stego
The earth is a great example of 'escalation' in evolution. Yet with our short lifespans it required many to document enough information to see the bigger picture. Dog Breeding is a perfect example of how genetics work quickly when the environment (man in this case) required them to adapt.
I never understood that excuse... "I havent watched this because it was before i was born" Nearly EVERYTHING was before you were born! By the time i was 16 MOST movies i watched was before i was born... Some absolute classics too! Ben Hur Three Little Words The Road To... films An Affair To Remember Bridge On the River Kwai Dr. No Goldfinger The Pink Panther (1963) Oceans Eleven (1960) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (and other Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns) Planet of the Apes 2001: A Space Odyssey (thats the film that started me reading sci fi novels as a kid) The Robe The Ten Commandments 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea It's A Wonderful Life The Quiet Man The Wizard Of Oz Operation Petticoat A Farewell to Arms The Swiss Family Robinson West Side Story (1961) The King And I Mary Poppins The Sound of Music ...And all of the classic Disney animated films. A third of the movies I'd watched was in black and white. And i was an 80s teen, so I watched Return of the Jedi in the theater. I watched Jurassic Park in the theatre... The 80s had the BEST movies, with the 90s close behind... And of course i watched all the bangers in the 80s and 90s and yet i STILL watched and continued to watched classic from decades prior. I dont understand the reasoning behind only watching what is made in your own lifetime as if things before you were born have no relevance anymore...EXCEPT that stuff made now hardly has any relevance anyways so it's all forgettable heroin-for-your-eyes. Thinking ALL movies are like that then makes a LITTLE bit of sense... but it was not always this way. Most movies in generations past just like with most books, had something universal to share or teach that transcends time. I'm GRATEFUL that reactors like you 2 are correcting the notion that movies from the past arent worth a new viewing. But dont wver use the excuse of "it was before my time" again... you were ignorant and blind, but now you're happily digging through a century old catalog... so don't dumb down what you're doing by excusing it. Heh You're only in the 80s and 90s... Watch "An Affair To Remember". Bring your tissues.
@@yomamma.ismydaddy216 that's what I remember. Cause Shindler's list was released for the fall and Oscar movie season and Jurassic Park was the classic summer blockbuster. Spielberg is such a movie beast, wait till they get to his proteges like Robert Zemeckis and Jan De Bont.
Post-production for Jurassic Park coincided with the early production of Schindler's List, so Spielberg would film during the day in Poland, phone Robin Williams to get him in a better mood in the evening, then video conference at night for Jurassic Park's post-production. He eventually just put George Lucas in charge of JP's post-production so he could focus on SL.
The video circulating around the internet of a pelican trying to eat a baby capybara is absolutely hilarious! It never gives up, but capy is just "whatever".
Something that I missed when watching the film the first time, but I think it's mentioned in the book, is that Hammond talks a lot about 'spared no expense' but actually runs a super cheap park where it counts. A lot of the security features are extremely simple and cheap, he doesn't pay his IT specialists enough (only Nedry was willing to even take the job), he only has one dinosaur wrangler, etc. As much as he spent on expensive food and night-vision goggles, he skimped out on the important stuff.
Exactly. It's why nothing works, how the characters unlock stuff they shouldn't (the car, the ride locks), it's all because Hammond DID spare many expenses.
Much like most corporations. Spare no expense on all the showy - flashy stuff the public sees, while scrimping on all the necessary behind the scenes stuff that really matters.
muldoon is the game warden, that doesn't mean he is the only "dinosaur wrangler". This tour had minimal, essential staff only. Basically the department heads. THat doesn't mean that's all that would work if the park opened. but yes in general he was misguided.
Which is sad, because in the book Muldoon is literally the one that saves everyone. Not only does he live, he's the ultimate hero due to the fact that he knows the territory. He outsmarted the dinos in the book. And he get's this line as a death in the movie? Cmon man.
In the book the lawyer is actually an ex marine and fights one of the velociraptors (and survives) and hammond is an megalomaniac who only cares about the park (doesn't even care about his grandkids) so its kinda funny how is grandkids are indirectly involved with his death in the book
There was Park security, but Dennis Nedry subverted it. Harmon's problem was using a money hungry person like Nedry to set up his essential protocols. ------- No matter how much money he paid him it would never be enough.
@@lethaldose2000 That's one interpretation. Nedry has one line that suggests Hammond hired the lowest bidder for the contract and Nedry bid lower than he should have: "You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network 8 connection machines and debug 2 million lines of code for what I bid for this job? Because if he can I'd like to see him try." So, it's a combination of Hammond being cheap and Nedry undercutting himself financially.
@@sean437 Which is part of my conclusion in my previous comment. Hammond should have gotten someone aligned with the mission rather than the cheapest person. -------- When I hire a plumber or an HVAC person. I ask why is your bid so much lower than the rest. Another way to find the right person is to give them shares in the project, so when the project three off they'll make a boat load in the back end. ------- Anyway, I think Hammond is the person to blame for bringing Nedry in such a vital role with no redundancy.
@@76JStucki I agree. Businesses are learning the most important capital in any venture is the human capital. Underpay for that and it will cause the entire venture to fail.
I went to see this in theaters when I was six. My dad thought it’d be too scary for me, but he took me anyway… I don’t think that I ever had a better time at the movies as a kid. 🤩
In the book, Nedry is not such a villain. He is the cause of the entire thing, directly. But indirectly, the cause is Hammond. In the book he is the main antagonist. He gets Nedry against him when he forces him to work without pay, threatening him and lying to his customers. Nedry is forced to work a lot of extra hours for free so when Dodson goes to him and asks him if he has access to the security, Nedry is happy to say that yes, he has. He got everything ready. For the doubts. Seriously, Hammond is quite a piece of garbage in the book. With his grandchildren in mortal danger he thinks about the mistake that was bringing them to the park... because he brought them to soften Gennaro so he would leave his park alone, however, Gennaro was gonna close the park anyway... that's the only reason: They were useless to him.
@@terrylandess6072 Completely honest: The movie is better. Yeah, it's true that Spielberg softens the messages of the movie, but for good reasons. Hammond in the movie is the link to the wonder of Jurassic Park. If he is evil, then the entire park is evil. Hammond being a naive visionary in the movies, keeps the watcher's wonder for jurassic park intact. It's a dream, even if a failed one. The entire thing is completely corrupted in the book. Also the book tends to make the usual mistakes that Michael Chrichton always makes: So much preaching. Everyone is bored with Ian Malcolm, everybody wants him to shut up, he rants all the freaking time and half of what he says is bullshit in the book. In the movie he says one dumb thing or two, that most people swallow because it's mixed in a soup of cheap philosophy. But in the book, the guy just keeps talking bullshit every freaking second.
I wonder why the second and third movies are compared to the first... They bring their own things but really none of the sequels (including the Jurassic World ones) ever wander beyond the premise of the first film. 'Should we play God? No.' Repeat 5 times.
Seeing this in theaters as a 9 year old boy was epic. A thunderstorm was raging outside so bad when watching the movie that sometimes we couldn’t tell if the thunder was from the movie or outside. This movie has always remained one of my favorites. I’m so glad you watched it.
That reminds me of the maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I watched it. I was watching it on TV and we had severe thunderstorms raging outside. I swear, as soon as she pushed the button to turn on the Outer Perimeter Fence (the one that Timmy was on) our power went out. It was such a weird experience having that happen now, but at the time I was so mad about it going off.
This movie is very good at setting up things: The way raptors hunt and the way Muldoon got taken out Malcolm and Sattler talk about chaos theory in the car with the water droplets --> There are cups of water that ripples when T-Rex walks Grant using two female ends of the belt to "find a way" to secure himself.. park has only female dinosaurs Used frog DNA to fill the gaps --> Some frog changes sex in single sex env (fun fact: Clown Fish also does that) --> Life found a way Grant knows T-Rex has movement based vision -> Grant stands still but moves the flare, Malcolm runs with the flare
Michael Crichton the author of jurassic park sadly died in 2008. He only wrote two jurassic park books, which are superb you get a feeling of the unknown when it comes to the dinosaurs behavior
I don't know if you've read Chrichton's _Congo,_ but if you haven't, I can highly recommend it. IIRC, there was a movie adaptation. It was absolute garbage. Read the book.
By that logic, they should also ignore you saying they're worth a watch. After all, if other people can't decide what they won't like, other people can't decide what they _will_ like, either. Guess you'll just have to let Spartan and Pudgey decide for themselves what they'll do with the advice they get, like they were already going to anyway.
Heyy, just randomly decided to see how your guys' channel was doing and was shocked to see Jurassic Park on here. One of my favorite franchises of all time and I love watching reaction videos of it. I'm in!
“Welcome…to Jurassic Park” still gives me goosebumps. This is such an iconic movie. Glad you two are watching it. I can’t remember much about 2 and 3 to recommend them or not (maybe the fact that I don’t remember is a recommendation in itself lol) but I will say Jurassic World (first one) is very good so you should check it out if you have time.
So this movie is not just Pre-Historic, but Pre-Spartan and Pre-Pudgey..... As far as two and three and the newer ones, its always best to complete the story!!!! Like Toy Story... you can just watch the first and enjoy but to get the whole Character growth without the whole storyline!!!
This is my first time on this channel, but I'm so gald I found you now when you started watching Jurassic Park movies! And by the way, if you want a storyline taken around the can with embryos, I heavily recommend you trying Jurassic Park: The Game. It's the most close-to-canon Jurassic game ever
My favorite dinosaur was Triceratops. BTW Pudgy, the real velociraptor was between 1.5 - 2 meters long and weighed between 15 - 20 kg. It also had feathers. In real life velociraptor was about the size of a turkey. I hope this doesn't ruin the movie for you.😮
Feathers Is the excuse to talk about evolution from dinos to chicken , chicken and dinos dont have even the esqueletical shape , Bird breathe with the bones for millions of years even today and dinos breath with it lungs...
@@nistaffsubs6787 What are you talking about? How do you know what I believe or don't believe about evolution. If the fossil record shows that dinosaurs that fall into the raptor had feathers then I'm inclined to believe it until proven otherwise. Besides, even if they had feathers it doesn't mean they became birds.
Dinosaur fact: Paleontologists recently found mummified (not fossilized) dinosaur skin which belonged to a triceratops, the pores in the skin suggests triceratops had quills along it's back and tail, whether these quills were for defence or display (like a peacock) is up for debate.
Honestly Jurassic Park 2 is my favorite, don't get me wrong this movie is great, but 2 just has a different vibe that I personally like more. All 3 movies are great, honestly.
5:16 hearing you two banter between T-Rex v Velosciraptor, before seeing the movie and me knowing the end of the end all the more enjoyable. This was the summer blockbuster movie when I was 16! The practical effects still hold up today.
Elder millennial here I can understand it. For my generation this movie was a huiuuge deal - it came out during exactly the dinosaur phase when I was 7. Must see no question. Spartan and Pudgy weren’t even alive yet. In general, youngins got shafted on the movie culture. Most of these legendary movies came out before 2005. Like lord of the rings was *the* shit when I was in high school, another example.
Even before Duel and Jaws and all that, Spielberg Directed the first episode of the Columbo series back in 1971 (called Murder by the Book) when he was just 24 years old. It was his second Television directing job for Universal.
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, The animatronic work on Jurassic Park, holds up to this day. When the T-Rex shows up, I get goose bumps every time. ------ Spielberg is such a master of tension , that water shaking in the cup to make you feel the terror but not see it, is some Alfred Hitchcock level of tension building.
I first saw this in the theater and the best part was the fact that the theater had surround sound, which was relatively new back then. When the T Rex was coming slowly through the jungle, not only could you see the ripples in the cup of water on the dashboard, you could actually feel the vibrations of those footsteps. Still sends chills down my spine.
Hey Pudgey and Spartan, what's next level about Spielberg direction is how he makes you relax for a moment just before he reveals the hidden horror of a scene. -------- We see that just before Dodson gets eaten, we see it again when Sam Jackson arm is found, during the kitchen scene, the climb on the fence, the raptor chase and so many more scene. ------- I'm glad you guys loved the movie so much. Great reaction
I feel a special connection to this movie. I got to see it in a theater 1.5 miles away from where they filmed the galimimus flock running scene. Also, the day it came out on VHS, there was a tsunami coming towards us so we had the day off of school and I got to go to Blockbuster and pick it up. I probably watched it 3 times that day.
Hello, I like all of them to be honest (Park and World). Sure some might not be as strong as others but I still like them. Would very much love to see your reactions to all 😊❤
Greatness in film to me means having an impact long after its release. Its been 30 years since this movie came out and I still haven't left the dinosaur phase. For its groundbreaking CGO and animatronics, for its acting, its dialogue, its deeper themes, and the sheer imlact this film had on my and millions of other peoples' lives, this is the greatest film ever made. Fight me.
Honestly might be my favorite Jurassic Park. I never really liked the second one to much but the third was on repeat in my house growing up, all incredible movies.
So the story goes that on the set the giant mechanical T-rex got messed up by the rain and would at times seem to come alive and move on its own. During the scene of the T-rex attacking the car with the kids the T-rex was not supposed to put its head that far into the car but during filming it came alive and dove its head into the car and breaking the glass roof, the looks of fear and screams of terror were real as it looked like the T-rex really was attacking them.
@@StinkyGreenBudits frustrating cuz it’s easily debunked by reading the shooting script. It takes away from the intention and effort of the filmmakers.
The T-Rex chasing the car sequence with the moment that the T-REX is shown in the side mirror; making gains on the vehicle with "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR", was the only time I have ever been truly scared while laughing at the SAME TIME. MASTERFUL film work with that small little detail, that makes the entire picture much more frightening.
I always love this movie. I was in high school and the band nerd in me was/is obsessed with the music in this movie. John Williams is an absolute genius. I also forget just how stressful this movie is until I see others react.
♥So happy to see y'all react to this classic. The mix of Crichton and Spielberg was so special that the National Film Registry with the nod of the Library of Congress selected this film as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant enough to be saved for posterity. Also, what a fitting day for y'all to drop this reaction. Today happens to be the birthday of Michael Crichton, who wrote the first two novels on which this franchise is based. Rest in Power John Michael Crichton (23 October 1942 - 4 November 2008)♥
Fun dino facts! -The raptors in the movie are not similar to velociraptors, but rather another kind called Deinonychus (die-NON-ikus). Velociraptors were chicken sized. The name velociraptor was used because the author of the book felt it was more impactful due to public perception of the word raptor. -T-rex was most likely a scavenger as well as a predator meaning that 1. It's vision would not be based on movement, and 2. It was perfectly fine eating already dead animals instead of hunting. -Dilophosaurus could not, alas, shoot venom. -T-rex has since been found to have lips, meaning it's teeth would not be visible from the outside.
Several 90’s movies are touchstone moments in film history from a special effects perspective. This, Terminator 2 and The Matrix are especially high water marks. All three films blew our collective minds back in the day and were very influential in SFX development. So yeah…we had NEVER seen anything like this in 1993.
The triceratops was sick because it had accidentally eaten berries off the ground while it was gathering gizzard stones. This was explained in the novel, but didn't make the film for some reason. It also glossed over the fact that the eggs Dr. Grant found were raptor eggs, and there was actually a large raptor colony existing on the island that they didn't know about until the end. And nothing about this film was "cheap." This film was incredibly expensive and cutting-edge.
I don't think it was gathering gizzard stones, I think it was looking for lysine rich vegetation to sustain itself due to Ingen's lysine contingency. Life was looking for a way to survive without being dependent on Ingen.
Yeah, you kind of need the novel's ideas to make sense of a lot of the raptor stuff. At the beginning, they were moving a raptor to the new pen we see in the movie. This is likely due to The Big One beginning to kill off other raptors. Maybe they thought they needed to be separated, or needed more room. There's debate about whether the opening scene raptor was shot to death by the shotgun and rifle rounds you hear, or if they managed to save it. It's possible "The Big One killed all but 2 of the others" was encapsulating this one dying without saying it. So with that theory, there's 8 raptors, TBO kills say 2, the park moves raptors to the new pen which results in another getting killed, then TBO kills another 2 and the final pack of 3 is placed in the new pen. What likely happened is that TBO mated with another raptor in the old pen, and as they abandoned its site, they left the doors open so the freshly hatched 2nd generation raptors just walked out. These raptors would then be fairly young, living off of rodents. By the time the movie happens, they become juveniles and mate with each other, hence the eggs seen near the Brachiosaur habitat.
I was born in 96, and this move was still a large part of my childhood. I was a young boy in the early 2000's, the sequels were out at the time, perfect time to be a dinosaur fan. How could you not have seen it before?
In a dark theater with 200 strangers the heavy footsteps of the R-Rex literally sent vibrations up our spines & when it roared for the first time. A huge part of the audience spilled their popcorn, sheer shock for one & others dropped their popcorn to cover both ears. It didn't help, you 'felt' the roar through your skull as much as you heard it through your ears. This film stunned America.
Two big things the movie got wrong: The Velociraptors in the movie are actually Deinonychus. But that name was considered too difficult to pronounce and sounded too innocuous, so the author of the book decided to call them Velociraptors instead. In reality, Velociraptors were much smaller, about the size of a Labrador. And the vision of a T. rex was not dependent on movement. In fact, T. rex had very good eyesight, comparable to that of hawks.
In the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, the limitation of the T-rex's vision was explained as because the scientists had to fill in gaps with frog DNA - the movie didn't have time for that explanation. Yes, Velociraptors were smaller. But since the movie was made, scientists know all these raptors except the biggest like T-rexs were heavily feathered, with longer feathers on their arms like proto-wings. (Wings evolved before they were used for flight - birds are descendants from the same group of dinos as theropods, with an incredibly smooth transition in appearance.) Despite this knowledge of the feathering - which allowed for stunning color schemes in some cases - the movie franchise refused to feather the beasts in their later sequels, even though they could have explained it as less frog DNA, more dino DNA. Personally Velociraptors, as we now know them, are my favorite dinos. The looked so much like birds, I guess sort of like larger roadrunners. The book and the movies make it appear that the JP Velociraptors do know but hunt to eat humans. In reality, they had the entire JP as a smorgasbord. Predators prefer prey that don't fight back and also smaller animals, because the predators can face real danger from larger prey. In actuality, we humans stink to predators - an evolutional protection because we sweat, particularly in our armpits, and our sense of smell is so limited. (Sharks are known to often only take a bit out of a swimmer, even big enough to be fatal, but then swim off.) Predators don't eat all the time as witness life on the African savanna, where all the animals hang out and only when hungry do the carnivores rouse themselves to hunt. And the most dangerous animals to humans are hippos, who are vegetarian but extremely territorial.
@@g13n79 But it is supported by dinos closest living relatives - both crocs and birds also have excellent vision. Birds have five different cones for color reception while humans only have three. They can see into the ultraviolet. The different mixes of five vs. three means they can see color shades that we can't even imagine. (I'm jealous.) We can also infer that dinos could see colors (not direct evidence but supporting how important vision was to them) because we now know the actual colors of some dinos which were indeed colorful. This wouldn't have evolved if they had really limited vision.
Another thing we also know now thanks to more archaeology, the T-Rex wouldn't roar like it does in the movie, but instead it would grumble and hiss like a crocodile.
Legendary film-making here ! Finally started the Spielberg adventure journey it seems. :D So many stuff to watch ! Definitely look out for his filmography many CLASSICS !
Every line in this is a classic: “SHOOT HERRRR” “Mr. Hammond I think we’re back in business” “IAN FREEZE” “Dinosaurs eat man… woman inherits the earth” “I know how to read a schematic” “That is one big pile of shit” “He’s gonna eat the goat; excellent!” And of course… “spared no expense” and “life, uh… finds a way”
My favorite lines from this film: "This is just a delay. Everyone has delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1959, nothing worked." "But John, John, when Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the Pirates don't EAT the tourists."
Just so you know, In all the sequels, no one has found the shaving can with the DNA in it after it was buried in the mud. Leaves a big opening for another show.
After the movie you talk about what it would be like seeing this movie as a kid, but it was on a whole different level seeing this as a kid in the 90s. This movie's hype was off the charts, there were Jurassic Park toys, Jurassic Park meals at McDonalds, Jurassic Park video games. And when you see the movie, CGI like that never existed before. Star Wars level special effects were about the best you would have seen, with plenty of cheap looking effects and puppets used on TV shows, then you go to the theater and see the most impressive visual effects ever created by far, it was mind blowing for both the kids and their parents.
Terminator comes to mind also, as they were originally going to use stop-motion in JP but switched to cgi, and T2 was only a couple years prior but there's a big leap in cgi quality from that to JP.
Great reaction like always, What an epic movie love it. When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later. The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me! Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them. Keep up the good work.
I remember seeing 15:42 in theaters and just being absolutely floored. In that moment I truly thought dinosaurs existed and were shot for that scene. Obviously I knew it was CGI but it was so incredible compared to anything before it that I was truly amazed.
Adam Jones, guitarist of Tool, worked on special effects for this film. This was right around the time when the band was forming. Spielberg asked Jones to work full time on the movie but Adam declined. We may know have Tool as we know it
To me this movie brought back that magical experience Walt Disney movies used give to children back in the day. The part where Grant and Ellie first see the dinosaurs totally encapsulates that experience.
Jurassic Park is a unique movie in the History of the cinema. For me this is the fronter of old school movie and new CGI Hollywood's movie. This is the fronter between : "We don't have CGI but we make scenario with strong dialogues and character" and "We have CGI, both scenario and dialogues are not so important now, they are secondary" Jurassic Park is the first true CGI movie, and he take the best from old school and new modern movies. He is the metaphore of the Hollywood industry itself : “Our profession is finished” - “you mean extinct!” is a sentence that Phil Tippett, a great specialist in models and animatronics and stop motion, would have uttered when he saw CGI for the first time (Phil Tippett = Half of the Star Wars animatronics, the stop motion TBTTs, the insects from Starship Troopers, the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park...)

@@tanelviil9149 They do often times deny popular movie and TV show requests because they've already seen them before.

I bet you haven't heard every classic music song, read every classic book or played every classic game either.
The first was more than just a great summer blockbuster. It was a masterclass in moviemaking. The rest of the franchise is just good fun.
i am 40 now, i don't remember much movie theater visits from the 90's, but i still remember every scene from Jurassic Park in the theater.
1993, on my dads shoulders watching this because it was standing room only inside the odeon cinema in Birmingham. The next time I had an experience anywhere close to the hype of this film was fellowship of the ring.
I'd argue that the masterclass in moviemaking is the second one. Spielberg knew that he couldn't repeat the phenomenon that the first one was, so he threw his full talent and tradecraft at the second. It was not that much of a dino movie, but all the set pieces in it are executed *perfectly* from editing to music use to make the most suspense, tension, and excitement.

This film is widely considered to be the first convincing use of CGI in film. It had been used before, but it was never able to fool the eye as well as Jurassic Park did.
I would suggest that Terminator 2, released 2 years before JP, was the first film where we truly saw the impact of CGI. That metallic Terminator effect still holds up today. But JP definitely brought a new, broader-reaching use of CGI , showing the scope of what it could accomplish, it brought dinosaurs to life in a way no-one had ever done before.
That's partly because it was a mix of CGI and puppetry. Giant puppets, but yeah! We can tell when something is CGI now because we're used to it all the time. This is more convincing because of the mix; our eyes get confused and this it's real!
And kind of still does... Still works at least, other "better" CGI got bad really soon
@@Una1it’s the best, the rest balance between practical and CGI. Too many of todays fully CGI films don’t feel as realistic as these did (like comparing Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit films)
@@Una1these were mainly animatronics, which are different than puppets. Puppets, think Terminator 1 when the endoskeleton was walking in close quarters to Sarah and Kyle.
Sparta associating Steven Spielberg with "Band of Brothers" rather than "Jaws", "Close Encounters", "E.T. the Extraterrestrial", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Schindler's List" or even "Duel" makes me feel so, so old...
We are old, and experienced, and wiser for it. It's nice to have a big library to reference in daily life and it really exposes those with a tiny library of experience and knowledge. :D Edit: We were lucky to not have social media to eat up life cycles of time needed to grow that library.
That’s because he’s Australian and Band of Brothers was shot in Australia.
Same its absolutely insane. They definitely need to take this journey, starting with all of the oldest and great classic adventures of Spielberg and of course some of the sci-fi ones too.
@@TJSaw None of it was shot in Australia. Shot in the UK. 'The Pacific' 2010 was shot in Australia.

This was one of the greatest experiences I ever had in a theater. It was 1993 and nobody had ever seen CGI like this before - these dinosaurs were ALIVE. Now imagine them on that HUGE screen. It was jaw dropping.
I was born in 1990 but was able to see this in theaters in 2013 for the 20 year anniversary! Such an amazing film 😊
Right. I was 11 when this came out. Any rewatch makes me feel like a kid again.
I was there too! Still have my ticket stub.
This film was magic when it came out. Not even the immediate sequels (I thought Lost World was good) could recreate that experience. The newer, "Jurassic World" franchise are just a part of a long line of action flicks that lack the wonder of the original.
I saw this opening night with my mom when I was 7 years old. Lines were around the block outside the movie theatre, the release for this was HUGE.
The funny thing is that even without having seen "Jurassic Park", the movie is probably the reason why the
Velociraptor is Pudgey's favorite dinosaur... when the movie came out, neither me or any of our friends even knew it existed, despite knowing of (and having strong opinions about) the other higher profile dinosaurs. This movie slammed the Velociraptor directly into pop culture and it stuck hard.
There's a moment in this movie that I just adore. It's when they're in the Jeep being chased by the T-rex, and they show the T-rex in the jeep's mirror, with the warning visible: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". It's so clever, nothing is said about it, and the movie doesn't try to draw your attention to it. It's perfect.
There's a reference to this moment in Toy Story.
@@Michael75579 Didn't know that, I've never seen it, but that's awesome.
@@Michael75579 Toy Story 2, IIRC. When they're in the Barbie car in the store and Rex is chasing after them
I noticed this early on as a kid, and of all the reactions I've watched to this movie on YT I think only one person noticed, or at least mentioned, that bit of comedy.
That is Spielberg's eye for detail, like the T-Rex iris contracting when Lex shines the light in it's eye.
When the girl is panicking and screaming "He left us... HE LEFT US!!" I was so impressed. It felt so real, the shock and panic. Amazing child actor!
And her frozen terror when she’s holding the spoon with jello and the velociraptors show up.

This movie was huge and blew people away when it first came out. No one had seen CGI/Animatronics look so realistic before.
Yeah it was. It felt like it definitely moved the needle is movie making when it was real eased.
Stan Winston’s full scale animatronics are why everyone was ‘blown away’ by the CGI, which was mostly hidden in shadow and rain. Not saying it wasn’t amazing - especially for the time. But Jurassic park is a blend of all movie trickery - at the highest level - and at the point that CGI became a fad before it came of age
@@MajorVanBloodnokThe CGI wasn't any more hidden than the animatronics were.

@@Mr.EkshinCocaine exists. Maybe you should do that as well.
People like the taste of dogs and cats, yet most of the West can't grasp that; its the same concept.
This movie is based on a book by Michael Crichton. Crichton was actually a doctor who wanted to be a author, and eventually switched careers, and had immense success. His books were marked by being grounded in science, fact, and technology. He would even include bibliographies of the sources he used at the end of some of his books. He never wrote a sequel to any of his stories prior to the success of Jurassic Park. The Studio basically came to him and said we're going to make a sequel and we want it to be based on a book you wrote. As a result, he wrote "The Lost World." If you actually read the book of "The Lost World" it's almost completely different than the movie. All this is a long winded way of saying that Crichton's books are phenomenal and you should definitely check them out.
Watching young people react to this movie is fascinating...they have no awe in seeing the Dinos like we all did since they're so used to overload of CGI crap, but I think this movie's CGI actually looks more realistic than a lot of stuff now
There's a fantastic series of videos here on youtube with footage of them building the T-rex and other dino's behind the scenes, beginning with the little model and then scaling it up with ship-builders tecniques, and eventually carving the scales and the hydraulics. Just amazing to see.
Fun fact: The actor who plays John Hammond is the late Richard Attenborough, the older brother of famous documentary narrator Sir David Attenborough. Richard Attenborough is also the director of the 1982 film 'Gandhi' which won 8 academy awards including Best Picture, Best Director for himself and Best Actor for Sir Ben Kingsley.
There is also now a dinosaur named after David, though I like to imagine it’s a tribute to both of them, considering how closely tied their family name now is to Dinosaurs!
How did I never know this?!
So?
@@CoolAsianGuydo you know what a fun fact is? Wdym so?
@@TheSofkujepanen he's just too cool to care about anything, so edgy
Why do so many reactors have a hard time understanding the jeep escaping the Rex? They told you earlier how fast they can run and you see that they speed up and the Rex gives up the chase.
The dinosaurs are just animals. Moments like that show the Rex isn't a monster but just an animal who has different motives besides "eat anything that moves".
Most people these days aren't smart enough to pay attention to exposition...
And the fact they always use “he” pronouns
I thought of that too. Cuz it’s only capable of going 32 mph so all the jeep would have to do is go faster than that…. Lol
@@deathmetal271 He is gender neutral in english. Besides that there ARE male dinosaurs in the park, but be all uppity over it for no reason.
I think some might be confused by the surface the action takes place upon. It started out as pavement with a center track, but by the time the T-Rex escapes the vehicles are now on mud with no track or pavement. You're not supposed to notice that stuff in Spielberg movies on the first watch.
Also at 40:04 the trex stopped because she got tired, most large predators (cheetah, lion, tigers etc) are ambush predators, they get as close as they can before striking because they can only sprint for so long. Most successful hunts for tigers are 1/10, hence why you saw a successful hunt with the gallimimus where the trex was hiding in the trees
Came here to say this.
Every single reactor who had this clip in the edit were equally flabbergasted.
I'm confused.... does she know any creature on the planet that can flat out sprint indefinitely?
"What distracted it?"
Probably anaerobic muscle fatigue. Same reason humans have to stop sprinting, allowing the serial killer to calmly catch up by walking.
And yes, thats why lions and tigers and cheetahs STALK their pray. They aint Forrest Gump.
Also a jeep can do better than 32 mph. Hammond specifically told them they clocked the T-Rex at 32 mph.
The jeep was gone. Why waste energy on something you can't catch ?
Watching the T-rex attack the two stalled electric cars in the theater on opening night with a packed audience was one of the greatest cinematic experiences in my life.
Some loose ends from the movie are explained in the book that inspired the movie. In the book, it was a Stegasaurus that got sick every six weeks, not the Triceratops, but in any case, it was sick because much like birds, the Stegasaurus (and Triceratops) needed to swallow small stones to help digest plant matter. As it picked up the stones, it accidentally swallowed the Lilac berries too. The Lilac berry seeds remained with the stones, even when they were regurgitated every six weeks, which explains why there were no lilac seeds in the Dinosaur droppings.
Also, something interesting from the books that wasn't in the movie was that, most of the dinosaurs were sick or ailing from something. The T-rex had skin issues due to an allergy to modern plants, the Triceratops was having difficulty with labored breathing due to our modern world having less oxygen in the air than what the dinosaurs were evolved to breathe. The book really explained a lot of little issues with running a theme park full of pre-historic animals, and the park operator's need to learn HOW to take care of the animals, such as brushing the T-rex's teeth! I recommend reading the book, not only does it immerse you in Jurassic Park a lot better since you take your time with the story, but also because the book is scarier. So add that to your reading list people!
The book is excellent.
The Trex also had vision impairment because of the frog dna
Which was never explained in the movie
@@gergopiroska5749 I don't recall the frog DNA being the reason for the impairment. I think it was a generally accepted theory back then that Trex had poor vision.
Brushing a T-rex’s teeth sounds like a very VERY dangerous job!
@@MyBlackandRedCZ it's the kind of job that takes chops to do.
Malcolm's speech during the dinner scene is iconic, as a kid you didn't bother about it, all you wanted to see were the dinosaurs, but when you rewatch it once you became older, you see that he was the smartest person there.
While others, especially Hammond and Gennaro (the lawyer) thought they had it all under control and could make lots of money with it, Malcolm realised that this was something way too powerful to be wielded by humans and that these things can go horribly wrong.

Whenever you're tempted to respond to someone with a smart-arse comment, it behoves you to first ensure that you know whereof you speak. TL;DR Version: You come at the king, you'd best not miss. And you, Callum, have missed by a mile. For I was not being in the least bit pedantic, merely factual. The dinosaurs represented in this film, as in the original book, may be called "Velociraptors", but they are in fact the much larger Deinonychus. The author, Michael Crichton, simply liked the name Velociraptor as it sounded more dangerous and awe-inspiring. Velociraptor were about the size of a Turkey, and the author needed something larger and more threatening, which is why he based his version on the Deinonychus but called it Velociraptor. This is what's known as literary license. It's a work of fiction.

"Oh, they're hurting it..."
Gurl, it's literally about to eat a man.
Stegosaurus were on the earth around 150 -175 million years ago, while trex 60 million. That means man and rex were closer in existence than trex and stego
You can tell because a trex looks more like a man than a stego
And cleopatra is closer to the iPhone than the pyramids. Fun facts
I love these kind of facts.
They’re always fun and interesting and serve to remind humans that this planet does not belong to us.
Reminds me that it took us longer to go from bronze weapons to steel than it took for us to go from steel swords to firearms
The earth is a great example of 'escalation' in evolution. Yet with our short lifespans it required many to document enough information to see the bigger picture. Dog Breeding is a perfect example of how genetics work quickly when the environment (man in this case) required them to adapt.

A third of the movies I'd watched was in black and white. And i was an 80s teen, so I watched Return of the Jedi in the theater. I watched Jurassic Park in the theatre...
The 80s had the BEST movies, with the 90s close behind...
And of course i watched all the bangers in the 80s and 90s and yet i STILL watched and continued to watched classic from decades prior.
I dont understand the reasoning behind only watching what is made in your own lifetime as if things before you were born have no relevance anymore...EXCEPT that stuff made now hardly has any relevance anyways so it's all forgettable heroin-for-your-eyes. Thinking ALL movies are like that then makes a LITTLE bit of sense... but it was not always this way. Most movies in generations past just like with most books, had something universal to share or teach that transcends time.
I'm GRATEFUL that reactors like you 2 are correcting the notion that movies from the past arent worth a new viewing.
But dont wver use the excuse of "it was before my time" again... you were ignorant and blind, but now you're happily digging through a century old catalog... so don't dumb down what you're doing by excusing it.

Yeah well it's easy to get caught up in what's happening at the moment
To this day, it’s still insane to think Spielberg made Jurassic Park AND Schindler’s List in the same year 🤷♂️
The man was built to be movie making God. So insane
Well technically Jurassic park filming and production was done in 1992 and post-production work was done in 1993, but both movies did release in 93
@@yomamma.ismydaddy216 that's what I remember. Cause Shindler's list was released for the fall and Oscar movie season and Jurassic Park was the classic summer blockbuster.
Spielberg is such a movie beast, wait till they get to his proteges like Robert Zemeckis and Jan De Bont.
Post-production for Jurassic Park coincided with the early production of Schindler's List, so Spielberg would film during the day in Poland, phone Robin Williams to get him in a better mood in the evening, then video conference at night for Jurassic Park's post-production. He eventually just put George Lucas in charge of JP's post-production so he could focus on SL.
When he was approved to make Schindler’s List, it was on the condition that he make JP first.
"Peaceful birds" *Shows pelicans* Litwrally the bird equivalent of "Will attempt to eat anything that will fit in its mouth"
The video circulating around the internet of a pelican trying to eat a baby capybara is absolutely hilarious! It never gives up, but capy is just "whatever".
Something that I missed when watching the film the first time, but I think it's mentioned in the book, is that Hammond talks a lot about 'spared no expense' but actually runs a super cheap park where it counts. A lot of the security features are extremely simple and cheap, he doesn't pay his IT specialists enough (only Nedry was willing to even take the job), he only has one dinosaur wrangler, etc. As much as he spent on expensive food and night-vision goggles, he skimped out on the important stuff.
Exactly. It's why nothing works, how the characters unlock stuff they shouldn't (the car, the ride locks), it's all because Hammond DID spare many expenses.
Much like most corporations. Spare no expense on all the showy - flashy stuff the public sees, while scrimping on all the necessary behind the scenes stuff that really matters.

muldoon is the game warden, that doesn't mean he is the only "dinosaur wrangler". This tour had minimal, essential staff only. Basically the department heads. THat doesn't mean that's all that would work if the park opened.

He outsmarted the dinos in the book. And he get's this line as a death in the movie? Cmon man.
No, best line is "And now here I am by myself, talking to myself. That's chaos theory."
@videostash413 opinions are like...
In the book the lawyer is actually an ex marine and fights one of the velociraptors (and survives) and hammond is an megalomaniac who only cares about the park (doesn't even care about his grandkids) so its kinda funny how is grandkids are indirectly involved with his death in the book
Pudgey, the only reason you have ever heard of velociraptors is because of this movie. It introduced them to the general public and popularized them.
And funny enough the depiction of them in this movie was quite outdated even for its time lol
Absolument. On n'avait jamais entendu parlé des Velociraptors avant ce film.
The Velociraptors in this film (and most other appearances) aren't even Velociraptors. They're Deinonychus
Hammond spares no expense… except on park safety and security.
There was Park security, but Dennis Nedry subverted it. Harmon's problem was using a money hungry person like Nedry to set up his essential protocols. ------- No matter how much money he paid him it would never be enough.
@@lethaldose2000 That's one interpretation. Nedry has one line that suggests Hammond hired the lowest bidder for the contract and Nedry bid lower than he should have: "You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network 8 connection machines and debug 2 million lines of code for what I bid for this job? Because if he can I'd like to see him try."
So, it's a combination of Hammond being cheap and Nedry undercutting himself financially.
@@lethaldose2000 I know there was security. But Hammond clearly spared quite a bit of expense to get it
@@sean437 Which is part of my conclusion in my previous comment. Hammond should have gotten someone aligned with the mission rather than the cheapest person. -------- When I hire a plumber or an HVAC person. I ask why is your bid so much lower than the rest. Another way to find the right person is to give them shares in the project, so when the project three off they'll make a boat load in the back end. ------- Anyway, I think Hammond is the person to blame for bringing Nedry in such a vital role with no redundancy.
@@76JStucki I agree. Businesses are learning the most important capital in any venture is the human capital. Underpay for that and it will cause the entire venture to fail.
I went to see this in theaters when I was six. My dad thought it’d be too scary for me, but he took me anyway…
I don’t think that I ever had a better time at the movies as a kid. 🤩
Ah, yes, the favorite dinosaur of many . . . the rhinosaurus 💀🦏
In the book, Nedry is not such a villain. He is the cause of the entire thing, directly. But indirectly, the cause is Hammond. In the book he is the main antagonist. He gets Nedry against him when he forces him to work without pay, threatening him and lying to his customers. Nedry is forced to work a lot of extra hours for free so when Dodson goes to him and asks him if he has access to the security, Nedry is happy to say that yes, he has. He got everything ready. For the doubts.
Seriously, Hammond is quite a piece of garbage in the book. With his grandchildren in mortal danger he thinks about the mistake that was bringing them to the park... because he brought them to soften Gennaro so he would leave his park alone, however, Gennaro was gonna close the park anyway... that's the only reason: They were useless to him.
And Hammon dies in the book from the compy dinos.
Suddenly 'This' is the film I want to see - not the Spielberg Sugarland Express.
@@terrylandess6072 Completely honest: The movie is better.
Yeah, it's true that Spielberg softens the messages of the movie, but for good reasons.
Hammond in the movie is the link to the wonder of Jurassic Park. If he is evil, then the entire park is evil. Hammond being a naive visionary in the movies, keeps the watcher's wonder for jurassic park intact.
It's a dream, even if a failed one. The entire thing is completely corrupted in the book.
Also the book tends to make the usual mistakes that Michael Chrichton always makes: So much preaching. Everyone is bored with Ian Malcolm, everybody wants him to shut up, he rants all the freaking time and half of what he says is bullshit in the book.
In the movie he says one dumb thing or two, that most people swallow because it's mixed in a soup of cheap philosophy. But in the book, the guy just keeps talking bullshit every freaking second.
2&3 are underrated, they're always compared to the first one, but if you're watching them as a separate movies they're perfect
I wonder why the second and third movies are compared to the first...
They bring their own things but really none of the sequels (including the Jurassic World ones) ever wander beyond the premise of the first film. 'Should we play God? No.' Repeat 5 times.
Lost world was still good. Number 3 was bad
@@harifedererbruh? I respect your opinion but I think 3 might be my fave for it’s pure action
@@zjmgxclips5633 good action at the expense of terribly written characters. Not my thing.

I really like all 6 of the movies you should watch them all. Any time Jurassic Park comes to a local theater I will always go see it.
Jurassic Park 1 and 2 are amazing, JP3 is ok but you have to do all 3.
1 is amazing, 2 is crap, 3 is alright.
I am very amazed to see people who haven’t seen this movie before doing it for the first time, it’s magical hahah
Greetings from 🇨🇱!!
I love the first one. At the time it was so stunning! So fresh and new. Unforgettable to this day! Thank you Spartan&Pudgey!
Seeing this in theaters as a 9 year old boy was epic. A thunderstorm was raging outside so bad when watching the movie that sometimes we couldn’t tell if the thunder was from the movie or outside. This movie has always remained one of my favorites. I’m so glad you watched it.
That reminds me of the maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I watched it. I was watching it on TV and we had severe thunderstorms raging outside. I swear, as soon as she pushed the button to turn on the Outer Perimeter Fence (the one that Timmy was on) our power went out. It was such a weird experience having that happen now, but at the time I was so mad about it going off.
This movie is very good at setting up things:
The way raptors hunt and the way Muldoon got taken out
Malcolm and Sattler talk about chaos theory in the car with the water droplets --> There are cups of water that ripples when T-Rex walks
Grant using two female ends of the belt to "find a way" to secure himself.. park has only female dinosaurs
Used frog DNA to fill the gaps --> Some frog changes sex in single sex env (fun fact: Clown Fish also does that) --> Life found a way
Grant knows T-Rex has movement based vision -> Grant stands still but moves the flare, Malcolm runs with the flare
Michael Crichton the author of jurassic park sadly died in 2008. He only wrote two jurassic park books, which are superb you get a feeling of the unknown when it comes to the dinosaurs behavior
I don't know if you've read Chrichton's _Congo,_ but if you haven't, I can highly recommend it. IIRC, there was a movie adaptation. It was absolute garbage. Read the book.
They’re all worth a watch. Don’t take anyone else’s advice about what movies you shouldn’t watch. You may really like something someone else hates.
Exactly! I dislike it when subscribers do that. Even more than that, I hate it when the reactors listen. 😂
Exactly.
Obviously... most people would say they are worth a watch where as the original is a must watch
By that logic, they should also ignore you saying they're worth a watch. After all, if other people can't decide what they won't like, other people can't decide what they _will_ like, either. Guess you'll just have to let Spartan and Pudgey decide for themselves what they'll do with the advice they get, like they were already going to anyway.
Heyy, just randomly decided to see how your guys' channel was doing and was shocked to see Jurassic Park on here. One of my favorite franchises of all time and I love watching reaction videos of it. I'm in!

“Welcome…to Jurassic Park” still gives me goosebumps. This is such an iconic movie. Glad you two are watching it. I can’t remember much about 2 and 3 to recommend them or not (maybe the fact that I don’t remember is a recommendation in itself lol) but I will say Jurassic World (first one) is very good so you should check it out if you have time.
The lawyer is actually a good guy in the book and doesn’t die. One of the few who survives. Still the movie is 10/10
Number three is the most rewatchable for me.
So this movie is not just Pre-Historic, but Pre-Spartan and Pre-Pudgey..... As far as two and three and the newer ones, its always best to complete the story!!!! Like Toy Story... you can just watch the first and enjoy but to get the whole Character growth without the whole storyline!!!
This is my first time on this channel, but I'm so gald I found you now when you started watching Jurassic Park movies! And by the way, if you want a storyline taken around the can with embryos, I heavily recommend you trying Jurassic Park: The Game. It's the most close-to-canon Jurassic game ever
Welcome🎉🎉🎉🎉
My favorite dinosaur was Triceratops. BTW Pudgy, the real velociraptor was between 1.5 - 2 meters long and weighed between 15 - 20 kg. It also had feathers. In real life velociraptor was about the size of a turkey. I hope this doesn't ruin the movie for you.😮
No feathers scientist found a chunk of rotten collagen that looked like transparent feather...
Feathers Is the excuse to talk about evolution from dinos to chicken , chicken and dinos dont have even the esqueletical shape , Bird breathe with the bones for millions of years even today and dinos breath with it lungs...
@@nistaffsubs6787 What are you talking about? How do you know what I believe or don't believe about evolution. If the fossil record shows that dinosaurs that fall into the raptor had feathers then I'm inclined to believe it until proven otherwise. Besides, even if they had feathers it doesn't mean they became birds.
Dinosaur fact:
Paleontologists recently found mummified (not fossilized) dinosaur skin which belonged to a triceratops, the pores in the skin suggests triceratops had quills along it's back and tail, whether these quills were for defence or display (like a peacock) is up for debate.
The 90's was the best time to grow up, Change my mind
i’m jealous 😢
Were are the lucky ones
I prefer the 80's because I got the 90's too.
Honestly Jurassic Park 2 is my favorite, don't get me wrong this movie is great, but 2 just has a different vibe that I personally like more. All 3 movies are great, honestly.
Yes yes yes!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love that we will take the Jurassic Journey with you guys! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
2 and 3 are highly underrated I love lost world which is the second one
5:16 hearing you two banter between T-Rex v Velosciraptor, before seeing the movie and me knowing the end of the end all the more enjoyable. This was the summer blockbuster movie when I was 16! The practical effects still hold up today.
How do you go through your lives till your 20s and never seen Jurassic park 😮
Its incredible how well this film holds us visually considering the age
Elder millennial here I can understand it. For my generation this movie was a huiuuge deal - it came out during exactly the dinosaur phase when I was 7. Must see no question. Spartan and Pudgy weren’t even alive yet.
In general, youngins got shafted on the movie culture. Most of these legendary movies came out before 2005. Like lord of the rings was *the* shit when I was in high school, another example.
Even before Duel and Jaws and all that, Spielberg Directed the first episode of the Columbo series back in 1971 (called Murder by the Book) when he was just 24 years old. It was his second Television directing job for Universal.
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, The animatronic work on Jurassic Park, holds up to this day. When the T-Rex shows up, I get goose bumps every time. ------ Spielberg is such a master of tension , that water shaking in the cup to make you feel the terror but not see it, is some Alfred Hitchcock level of tension building.
I first saw this in the theater and the best part was the fact that the theater had surround sound, which was relatively new back then. When the T Rex was coming slowly through the jungle, not only could you see the ripples in the cup of water on the dashboard, you could actually feel the vibrations of those footsteps. Still sends chills down my spine.
Hey Pudgey and Spartan, what's next level about Spielberg direction is how he makes you relax for a moment just before he reveals the hidden horror of a scene. -------- We see that just before Dodson gets eaten, we see it again when Sam Jackson arm is found, during the kitchen scene, the climb on the fence, the raptor chase and so many more scene. ------- I'm glad you guys loved the movie so much. Great reaction
Saw this in theater way back when. Was mind blowing! The mix of cgi and practical props was truly amazing.
Looking forward to seeing y'all enjoy it!
I feel a special connection to this movie. I got to see it in a theater 1.5 miles away from where they filmed the galimimus flock running scene.
Also, the day it came out on VHS, there was a tsunami coming towards us so we had the day off of school and I got to go to Blockbuster and pick it up. I probably watched it 3 times that day.
That you guys were so into dinosaurs and yet have never watched Jurassic Park was pretty amazing to me. I really enjoyed this!
Hello, I like all of them to be honest (Park and World). Sure some might not be as strong as others but I still like them. Would very much love to see your reactions to all 😊❤
You have to watch all of them - they all link in some way. Especially the first and Dominion the last one.
Greatness in film to me means having an impact long after its release. Its been 30 years since this movie came out and I still haven't left the dinosaur phase.
For its groundbreaking CGO and animatronics, for its acting, its dialogue, its deeper themes, and the sheer imlact this film had on my and millions of other peoples' lives, this is the greatest film ever made.
Fight me.
It’s the only movie that still makes me feel like a kid
@@AL-fl4jk that alone makes it a GOAT contender for me
I was 8 in 1993. The only movies I remember watching in the 90s are Jurassic Park and Titanic. JP I love and Titanic I hate lol.
@@mamaseesa3122 Titanic has boobs
Honestly might be my favorite Jurassic Park. I never really liked the second one to much but the third was on repeat in my house growing up, all incredible movies.
So the story goes that on the set the giant mechanical T-rex got messed up by the rain and would at times seem to come alive and move on its own. During the scene of the T-rex attacking the car with the kids the T-rex was not supposed to put its head that far into the car but during filming it came alive and dove its head into the car and breaking the glass roof, the looks of fear and screams of terror were real as it looked like the T-rex really was attacking them.
I love that "we put children in real danger" is just a movie fun fact 😂
It’s an exaggerated story that won’t die
Nice story, but in reality the Rex was just shaky like an old man, because its latex skin absorbed water and got heavy and wobbly.
@@nissy9220 Yeah I swear poeople keep adding more to this story.
@@StinkyGreenBudits frustrating cuz it’s easily debunked by reading the shooting script.
It takes away from the intention and effort of the filmmakers.
The T-Rex chasing the car sequence with the moment that the T-REX is shown in the side mirror; making gains on the vehicle with "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR", was the only time I have ever been truly scared while laughing at the SAME TIME. MASTERFUL film work with that small little detail, that makes the entire picture much more frightening.
Saw this in theaters the week it came out. My mind was blown how real it looked. Absolutely loved it!
I always love this movie. I was in high school and the band nerd in me was/is obsessed with the music in this movie. John Williams is an absolute genius.
I also forget just how stressful this movie is until I see others react.
Definitely popping this on once I get home from work, let's go! 💜
love the side mirror says on it "objects may be closer than they appear" when the Rex is chasing the jeep
♥So happy to see y'all react to this classic. The mix of Crichton and Spielberg was so special that the National Film Registry with the nod of the Library of Congress selected this film as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant enough to be saved for posterity. Also, what a fitting day for y'all to drop this reaction. Today happens to be the birthday of Michael Crichton, who wrote the first two novels on which this franchise is based. Rest in Power John Michael Crichton (23 October 1942 - 4 November 2008)♥
Only two novels
Fun dino facts!
-The raptors in the movie are not similar to velociraptors, but rather another kind called Deinonychus (die-NON-ikus). Velociraptors were chicken sized. The name velociraptor was used because the author of the book felt it was more impactful due to public perception of the word raptor.
-T-rex was most likely a scavenger as well as a predator meaning that 1. It's vision would not be based on movement, and 2. It was perfectly fine eating already dead animals instead of hunting.
-Dilophosaurus could not, alas, shoot venom.
-T-rex has since been found to have lips, meaning it's teeth would not be visible from the outside.
Several 90’s movies are touchstone moments in film history from a special effects perspective. This, Terminator 2 and The Matrix are especially high water marks. All three films blew our collective minds back in the day and were very influential in SFX development.
So yeah…we had NEVER seen anything like this in 1993.
I love how his film treats the dinosaurs as animals instead of monsters.
In what film are dinosaurs treated as “monsters?
@@tfpp1 absolutely all other films
@@blanketstarry7725 dang, I was hoping for titles.
@@tfpp1 All the sequels. They're constantly trying to kill the humans even at the expense of their own lives and safety. It's just silly.
@@zammmerjammer Oh, I thought y'all meant non JP movies.
47:08 "Yeah, just get through any hole you can"
Usually my approach as well. 😂
The triceratops was sick because it had accidentally eaten berries off the ground while it was gathering gizzard stones. This was explained in the novel, but didn't make the film for some reason. It also glossed over the fact that the eggs Dr. Grant found were raptor eggs, and there was actually a large raptor colony existing on the island that they didn't know about until the end. And nothing about this film was "cheap." This film was incredibly expensive and cutting-edge.
I don't think it was gathering gizzard stones, I think it was looking for lysine rich vegetation to sustain itself due to Ingen's lysine contingency. Life was looking for a way to survive without being dependent on Ingen.
Yeah, you kind of need the novel's ideas to make sense of a lot of the raptor stuff. At the beginning, they were moving a raptor to the new pen we see in the movie. This is likely due to The Big One beginning to kill off other raptors. Maybe they thought they needed to be separated, or needed more room. There's debate about whether the opening scene raptor was shot to death by the shotgun and rifle rounds you hear, or if they managed to save it. It's possible "The Big One killed all but 2 of the others" was encapsulating this one dying without saying it. So with that theory, there's 8 raptors, TBO kills say 2, the park moves raptors to the new pen which results in another getting killed, then TBO kills another 2 and the final pack of 3 is placed in the new pen.
What likely happened is that TBO mated with another raptor in the old pen, and as they abandoned its site, they left the doors open so the freshly hatched 2nd generation raptors just walked out. These raptors would then be fairly young, living off of rodents. By the time the movie happens, they become juveniles and mate with each other, hence the eggs seen near the Brachiosaur habitat.
The books are so good. I wasn't a reader back then, but powered through these and loved them even more than the movies
I thought it was from drinking water contaminated by the leaves or berries
I saw this in '93 three times. Blew me away. The book is amazing

lol I actually didn't realize...👍
😂
I was going to make this comment if it wasn’t already here. 😂
I was born in 96, and this move was still a large part of my childhood. I was a young boy in the early 2000's, the sequels were out at the time, perfect time to be a dinosaur fan. How could you not have seen it before?
Before you were born?!?! Are you two that young or am I that old? 🤔 (I think I’m that old 😂). I’m glad you enjoyed the movie.
In a dark theater with 200 strangers the heavy footsteps of the R-Rex literally sent vibrations up our spines & when it roared for the first time. A huge part of the audience spilled their popcorn, sheer shock for one & others dropped their popcorn to cover both ears. It didn't help, you 'felt' the roar through your skull as much as you heard it through your ears. This film stunned America.
Two big things the movie got wrong: The Velociraptors in the movie are actually Deinonychus. But that name was considered too difficult to pronounce and sounded too innocuous, so the author of the book decided to call them Velociraptors instead. In reality, Velociraptors were much smaller, about the size of a Labrador. And the vision of a T. rex was not dependent on movement. In fact, T. rex had very good eyesight, comparable to that of hawks.
educated guesswork though . No dino eyeballs to study so its based on details like skull shape and eye socket circumference
In the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, the limitation of the T-rex's vision was explained as because the scientists had to fill in gaps with frog DNA - the movie didn't have time for that explanation.
Yes, Velociraptors were smaller. But since the movie was made, scientists know all these raptors except the biggest like T-rexs were heavily feathered, with longer feathers on their arms like proto-wings. (Wings evolved before they were used for flight - birds are descendants from the same group of dinos as theropods, with an incredibly smooth transition in appearance.) Despite this knowledge of the feathering - which allowed for stunning color schemes in some cases - the movie franchise refused to feather the beasts in their later sequels, even though they could have explained it as less frog DNA, more dino DNA.
Personally Velociraptors, as we now know them, are my favorite dinos. The looked so much like birds, I guess sort of like larger roadrunners.
The book and the movies make it appear that the JP Velociraptors do know but hunt to eat humans. In reality, they had the entire JP as a smorgasbord. Predators prefer prey that don't fight back and also smaller animals, because the predators can face real danger from larger prey. In actuality, we humans stink to predators - an evolutional protection because we sweat, particularly in our armpits, and our sense of smell is so limited. (Sharks are known to often only take a bit out of a swimmer, even big enough to be fatal, but then swim off.) Predators don't eat all the time as witness life on the African savanna, where all the animals hang out and only when hungry do the carnivores rouse themselves to hunt. And the most dangerous animals to humans are hippos, who are vegetarian but extremely territorial.
In the book, T-Rex's eyesight was justified as being a byproduct of the cloning process, not an inherent flaw of the species.
@@g13n79 But it is supported by dinos closest living relatives - both crocs and birds also have excellent vision. Birds have five different cones for color reception while humans only have three. They can see into the ultraviolet. The different mixes of five vs. three means they can see color shades that we can't even imagine. (I'm jealous.)
We can also infer that dinos could see colors (not direct evidence but supporting how important vision was to them) because we now know the actual colors of some dinos which were indeed colorful. This wouldn't have evolved if they had really limited vision.
Another thing we also know now thanks to more archaeology, the T-Rex wouldn't roar like it does in the movie, but instead it would grumble and hiss like a crocodile.
Legendary film-making here !
Finally started the Spielberg adventure journey it seems. :D So many stuff to watch !
Definitely look out for his filmography many CLASSICS !
Every line in this is a classic:
“SHOOT HERRRR”
“Mr. Hammond I think we’re back in business”
“IAN FREEZE”
“Dinosaurs eat man… woman inherits the earth”
“I know how to read a schematic”
“That is one big pile of shit”
“He’s gonna eat the goat; excellent!”
And of course… “spared no expense” and “life, uh… finds a way”
So many memorable lines. Especially from Jeff Goldblum, or the Wizard of Uh as I like to call him.
My favorite lines from this film:
"This is just a delay. Everyone has delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1959, nothing worked."
"But John, John, when Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the Pirates don't EAT the tourists."
@@darthken815 John and Ian don’t even realize how legendary their lines are lol
“Faster, must go faster.”
"Hold onto your butts."
Just so you know, In all the sequels, no one has found the shaving can with the DNA in it after it was buried in the mud. Leaves a big opening for another show.
6:03 to skip the fluff
After the movie you talk about what it would be like seeing this movie as a kid, but it was on a whole different level seeing this as a kid in the 90s. This movie's hype was off the charts, there were Jurassic Park toys, Jurassic Park meals at McDonalds, Jurassic Park video games.
And when you see the movie, CGI like that never existed before. Star Wars level special effects were about the best you would have seen, with plenty of cheap looking effects and puppets used on TV shows, then you go to the theater and see the most impressive visual effects ever created by far, it was mind blowing for both the kids and their parents.
Terminator comes to mind also, as they were originally going to use stop-motion in JP but switched to cgi, and T2 was only a couple years prior but there's a big leap in cgi quality from that to JP.
Great reaction like always, What an epic movie love it. When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later. The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me!
Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them. Keep up the good work.
I remember seeing 15:42 in theaters and just being absolutely floored. In that moment I truly thought dinosaurs existed and were shot for that scene. Obviously I knew it was CGI but it was so incredible compared to anything before it that I was truly amazed.
Adam Jones, guitarist of Tool, worked on special effects for this film. This was right around the time when the band was forming. Spielberg asked Jones to work full time on the movie but Adam declined. We may know have Tool as we know it
To me this movie brought back that magical experience Walt Disney movies used give to children back in the day. The part where Grant and Ellie first see the dinosaurs totally encapsulates that experience.
Jurassic Park is a unique movie in the History of the cinema.
For me this is the fronter of old school movie and new CGI Hollywood's movie.
This is the fronter between : "We don't have CGI but we make scenario with strong dialogues and character" and "We have CGI, both scenario and dialogues are not so important now, they are secondary"
Jurassic Park is the first true CGI movie, and he take the best from old school and new modern movies.
He is the metaphore of the Hollywood industry itself : “Our profession is finished” - “you mean extinct!” is a sentence that Phil Tippett, a great specialist in models and animatronics and stop motion, would have uttered when he saw CGI for the first time (Phil Tippett = Half of the Star Wars animatronics, the stop motion TBTTs, the insects from Starship Troopers, the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park...)
