Top 10 Deleted Scenes From The JURASSIC PARK Movies

- In the Jurassic Park and World movies there’s been a lot of deleted scenes. Some involving alternate kills, dinosaur attacks and more. These are my personal top 10 that involve Raptors, a T.rex, the Indoraptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and more! Hopefully we can get a director’s cut like Dominion day, even if it’s just for Fallen Kingdom. Or maybe more Spinosaurus scenes. But for now this is all we got. I thought it would be fun to talk about for Halloween.

Man, I wish Spielberg would release ALL the deleted footage from the first 2 JURASSIC PARK movies, instead of still photos and original storyboards.
Agreed !
Would be nice since one save them going to waste and 2 for all the fans who pay see his films.
only 2 ? why not all ?
Don’t worry he will…WHEN HE’S DEAD!
It wouldn’t be his call anyway. It’d be universal’s decision ultimately.
The deleted scene with Roland Tembo with Ajay at an outdoor restaurant / bar talking about their expedition to the Island is something that should've kept in the movie. It shows Rolands characteristics and gives Ajay another form of introduction.
I swear that’s in the movie cause I remember watching that on Netflix and it had the scene in it I’m so confused
@@SilentShadow423 You sure it was on Netflix? What country are you in?

Agreed great character building scene
It’s one of the bonus features on The Lost World Jurassic Park DVD along with the Ingen Boardroom scene. They were I think transferred to the Blu-ray
The deleted scene with breaking the infant T-Rex's leg explains why Roland wasn't upset when Sarah said she set the infant's leg. I always wondered why he wasn't visually upset when she told him.
I am so glad that you mentioned Vince Vaughn's character disappearing in The Lost World. It always drove me crazy.
After he completed his mission, his planet needed him and left
That scene with Ludlow breaking the infant's leg being removed _really does a disservice_ to the Lost World movie. For years, I've had to explain to people that Roland _didn't_ break the Infant's leg, and really had no intention to. But because the scene is deleted from the movie, the context that remains makes Roland out to be downright cruel.
And it ruins the payoff of the adult Rex biting down and breaking Ludlow's leg at the end
I think it was added back by Peacock.
I agree, not to mention the
removal of the original music cue: "Ludlow's End" and replacing it with the cut & paste reuse of "The Lost World Theme". Had they kept the original cue and the early Ludlow deleted scene, it would have been much more of a crowd-cheering moment.
We don't have peacock in Canada, can anyone verify that?

that dude walking towards the genetically enhanced dinosaur dumping slugs from the UTAS UTS 15 shotgun so his buddies could fall back; has to be the bravest dude in the Jurassic park universe.
They were nonlethal rounds though otherwise he probably would've lived
@@kyle21843 considering the magnitude of rounds that thing took later on in the movie; I'd say it wouldn't have made a difference 😂
@@davidoftheforest3822 yeah true lol my brother the other day was like name a time in a jurassic movie where a gun actually did anything. And when I thought about it, I think aside from Roland tranquilizing the rex, I don't think there was ever an effective gun lmao
The leg break deleted scene offers greater character development for Ludlow and Tembo. Whilst Tembo’s logic of hunting as a means of self actualisation is flawed and, as he finds out, tragically unfulfilling, it shows him not without humanity in that he does not desire to achieve his goals by, in his mind, dishonourable means. Ludlow, in contrast, is shown to be totally ruthless and uncaring in his pursuit of power and profit. Whilst both characters are ‘villains’, it does offer an interesting contrast between the two that adds more weight to Tembo’s tragic final realisation and makes Ludlow’s fate more impactful. His treatment by the adult T-Rex mirroring his own callous behaviour. The T-Rex’s animal instinct, ultimately more moral that Ludlow’s pitiless attitude.
This seems more deserved than the “now you’re John Hammond” line which feels more ‘popcorn’ in comparison. Particularly as John’s character growth and ultimate realisation (in the first film) was tragic as his motivations were noble yet blinkered.
Ironically, the line "now you're John Hammond" sounds like a nod to the books, seeing as that's essentially how he does. Don't know if they meant it that way but its quite fitting nonetheless.
I hesitate to call Roland a villain; he's working for the bad guys, but he's the only reason any of them made it off Isla Sorna, contrasting with the actions of Nick and Sarah, which led to *every single death* on the island.
I wish there was a part in the first JP where Ian proves the dinosaurs are breading with the motion sensor counts. That part in the book was very ominous.
My favourite scene from the book that wasn't in the movie. The constant dread as the increase the number and realize both how screwed they are and how much they screwed up when the system was designed.
I'm glad they show the Extended Cut of THE LOST WORLD JURASSIC PARK on TNT, TBS, USA, and the Sci Fi Channel.
The Lost World explains the lysine contingency, when Sara discusses with Ian about the animals eating things which are lysine rich. It is an explanation based in legitimate science, because whatever nutrients are within prey will be absorbed by the predator. So these animals have adapted to their lysine defect by eating lysine rich items, and not only have survived but also thrived.
What I like about the bar scene from TLW is that it’s a foil of the Dodgson/Nedry scene from the first film. Instead of corporate espionage, it’s two close friends discussing the hunt of a lifetime
Udesky fighting back against the Raptors would’ve been cool to see. I always wondered how he was on the ground. Plus, going down fighting Raptors sounds pretty cool to me in my opinion.
I cudve swore I saw dat part in theaters back in the day I cud be mistaken but yea pretty sure it was in da movie when I saw it I was like yea a stick is gonna do real good 4 ya lol I was like 12 or 13 so again cud be wrong. Neways rip dude from air bud lol
It would have been a little stupid but funny scene and it would show the concept of survival since when one is about to die you do whatever you can to survive
@@CaptainDasttie Exactly.
@@relicdad88why do you type like that
That 2008 fire probably destroyed the spinosaurus sound effect archives too because future Jurassic medias like camp Cretaceous and Jurassic world evolution didn’t had access to them despite having access to other dinosaur sounds, so maybe the spinosaurus sounds got burned in the fire too. I think what frontier audio developers did was rip the sounds from the film itself and heavily edited them so you don’t hear music and dialogue from the characters.
That might be true, but you can also find the sounds on CZcams, so idk why someone from Dreamworks couldn't just get a YT Premium account and download videos of the sounds.
Strange… they made it once, surely people recall how to make it again though??
Wouldn’t Skywalker Sound still have archival tapes of the sound effects that Christopher Boyes used to make the Spinosaurus sounds, too?
I think one of the bonus features mentioned it’s mix of tiger or lion backwards. The Bonus Feature Sound Effects of Jurassic Park 3 I think mentions it
@@maxschroeder9051 vultures, tigers, lions, baby bears and gators i think
I would've loved to see the deleted scene about the death of Ben Hildebrand from Jurassic Park 3...who else!? We never got to see what happened to him...and then his body was found! Epic video, Klayton! Thank you so much for posting this! Keep up the great work!
I don't think they even nade the scene. Jurassic Park III started to record even before the last script was finished. In one of the previous scripts he dies because of the Compis ate him alive
I’ve seen a theory on how he died on another CZcams channel. In the movie you can see that his skeleton has no legs so it’s theorised that he was injured by the crash into the tree but the raptors ripped off his legs and eaten them and that’s how he died, through massive injuries and blood loss. Eric luckily managed to escape thanks to Ben probably sacrificing himself to save Eric. Compies don’t climb trees so it’s impossible that they killed him 😂 There’s obviously other apex predators on the island but however if the T-Rex or Spinosaurus got to him there would be nothing left of him, so the raptors are an an obvious opinion
@@roslynronald6568 Not only that, but it was shown that where Ben died, there was a raptors nest nearby.
10:12, Roland Tembo's original introduction is pretty badass!
I kinda wish in Dominion there was a storyline between the Giga and Buck where when Buck and his family arrived, the giga tracks them down and kills Junior and fights with Buck resulting in a draw and then later on when Rexy is fighting the Giga she lets out a giant roar which alerts Buck to her location and he comes and fights the Giga instead of the Theri
While I'm sure that would've been a really cool alternative to what we got in Dominion, wouldn't Junior have been a fully grown adult by the time of the film's events? Lost World took place in 1997, when we see Junior as an infant, while Dominion was set in 2022. Couldn't he have been able to fend the Giga off himself? Unless of course if somehow the cloned dinosaurs age slower than their extinct counterparts 😅.
I didn’t know much about how the Iris death scene, but it makes so much more sense that she would do the reveal. If you remember the Super Bowl trailer for Fallen Kingdom, the scene where Eli Mills reveals it was different, and there was just a single mercenary getting killed by the Indoraptor.
While not every movie can be made better by re-inserting deleted scenes, most of the deleted scenes for The Lost World, JP3 and Fallen Kingdom were both interesting and and plot-relevant. In particular Iris's death might have given Maisie a better motivation to prevent the suffocation of the dinosaurs having had her fill of death, however in the wrong she might have been.
That being said, the giant Stegosaurus carcass should have been an Apatosaurus from the start even if the presence of the carcass added atmosphere and urgency to the mission.
This may or may not have been a real piece of deleted content, but I still have this vivid memory of the Indominus tearing off the head of the Ankylosaurus in the cinema on opening night.
I’d love to see a remake/recreation of the Original books be put into movie adaptations. What would make it even sweeter is having them be rated R for all the bloody kills that happen
That would have fucking awesome but people would get traumatized by Compis eating babies or the +15 raptors nest scene or the scene where Sarah saves herself by kicking Levine out of under the car so the T Rex could catch him, carry him to his nest and let the baby T Rexs play and eat Levine
@@CaptainDasttiegood kids need to toughen up
she kicked dodgson not Levine. ;) @@CaptainDasttie eddie's death and the compy/baby scene would be brutal though.
One you mentioned before is the fishing vessel have a dino corpse in a net and the the net breaking after a moment. Thus the evidence was lost. That would be a nice opening scene for lost world.
I personally would’ve enjoyed Roland’s bar scene in the film but then I think back to the first film where we had dodgson meeting Nedry and something in me just feels like it wouldve been all too familiar?
But I wish more than anything that they kept Ludlow breaking the infants leg, really shows us how little he cares for the animals and sees them only as assets, would’ve also explained the bottle and mug next to the infant rather than let me spend years wondering what the heck it was there for 😂
The key to going into the long grass is having a starter Pokemon
9:31 Needles have thinner points of penetration than bullets the same way a sewing needle pokes you with the slightest touch but a poke from your finger won't deal the same damage.
All of these scenes are so good. And I remember a few of these in the Lost World VHS
11:49 I can't remember where I heard it. But apparently the Indoraptor was going to throw Iris to the side or scratch her. Something around those lines.
All I was told is that if people saw it they would’ve hated the movie but I have no idea why or what that even means
I Love all Jurassic movies, but I must say the tall grass scene is my favourite, so I would love to see more of it, at the same time I watched Fallen Kingdom recently and the scenes with the indoraptor are so good, but I still have hope to see the cut ones someday. I Wonder if there are any that were filmed for Dominion that haven't been released yet, the ones we saw were really nice and should have been kept in, maybe there is more just like with Fallen Kingdom. We can only wait
Any time i see people talking about jurrasic park deleted scenes i always have to bring up on from memory. In the original film when i saw it in theater the raptor scene with ellie in the power station was much longer. With scenes of her actually hurting her ankle. Cutting between her making her way back up through the building the a scene of a raptors foot stomping on the metal floors. It was such a tense scene. Bordering on being just too long. But it was great and i was so mad when the vhs came out and it was cut short.
Anger became confusion as subsequent releases, dvds, special editions, 3d releases never put this scene back in. Its never spoken of by the studio. And ive never seen other fans discuss it.
Id say 8 year old me must have made the scene up except my older brother who watched it with me also remembers the same way i did.
It should be noted that i recall a different delivery of malcoms line "that is one big pile of sh!t."
As well as a couple other differences that ive never seen return since Watching it in theaters.
Id love to talk to someone from the original production team, anyone really that could tell me if im just crazy or if by some fluke my local theater got shipped an alternate cut they werent supposed to get.
The boardroom sceen can be used in a prequel using the plot from Jurassic Park the Game with the mercs and how the lysine was undone.
So this actually isn’t a deleted scene. However there is footage (and I mean seconds) of Ellie and Muldoon looking around the park more. The only footage is actually a recording of them shooting the scene. I would honestly love more scenes from the first movie and I’m so sad the Arnold scene got
Scraped cause of the Hurricane. But Spielberg (from rumors I hear) hates directors cuts. So we will probably never see that footage.
we really needed the indoraptors scenes and more with it, but also wish we had the other scenes mentioned as well
2:51, Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff of Amalgamated Dynamics helped create the Stegosaurus, but remained uncredited.
Personally, I liked Iris, so I am glad that it's left open that she may actually be alive.
But if they go with her protecting Maisie from the Indoraptor, then they need to put it back in.
Also, the dead body in the Indoraptor cell scene, it was great and menacing.
-I recall some people were confused why “Kelly” was African-American while Malcolm and Sarah are white. I do believe people failed to notice the line of dialogue between Kelly and Malcolm as he is letting her know that he is leaving her in the care of some other “ex-girlfriend” of his and not Sarah (Sarah is the one Malcolm is trying to save). Kelly response by saying,”You like having kids but you don’t want to spend any time with them.” This angers Malcolm who points out that Kelly’s mom went of to Paris with some other guy and did not want to take Kelly with her. In the first Jurassic Park movie Malcolm blurts out to Grant that he is always on the lookout for a future ex-missus Malcolm. Meaning Malcolm gets around. Even John Hammond points this out in the small scene he has with Malcolm at his Estate in the Lost World: Jurassic Park Were Hammond also points out that Malcolm has relationships with some of top people in given fields (Hammond calling them, “Liaisons”). Kelly is supposed to be Malcolm’s daughter with yet another woman and not Sarah’s. And even that is put in to question when Eddie & Van Owens give hand signals about whether Kelly is really Malcolm’s daughter (they don’t see any family resemblance); Eddie does a wavy hand signal signaling “maybe, kind of “ while Van Owens does a flatline meaning no. Implying this woman who Malcolm was having a relationship with might just have been seeing someone else while dating Malcolm.
Kelly even mentioned that she barely knows Sarah too, if they WERE related by blood, it would make even less sense for Kelly to even say it
@@Pridam - I could be wrong (going to have to go see The Lost World: Jurassic Park again) but Kelly wants to go with Malcolm and offer to do some of field work that she did for him on a previous trip that she went with him. Then Kelly herself offer why she cannot simply stay with Sarah (she does know her) but Malcolm shuts that down. Kelly is being left in the care of yet another woman that Malcolm had dated. Kelly calling her trodolyte.
Also in the book, Arby is black and Kelly is white and neither are related to Malcolm. They just amalgamated the two characters in the movie. Kinda like they did with Ed Regis and Gennaro in the first movie
@@AW-kr9fl -Yes, that’s what the filmmakers did. They combined Arby with Kelly and had the one child and made her Malcolm’s kid.
Fun fact, one of the friends picking up the guy Tembo knocked out was Lucifer from Supernatural
Mark Pellegrino. This was Nick's true origin in the show!!!
Why isn’t Jurassic park the lost world not talked about a lot ? I think it’s the most underrated in the whole franchise
I love that movie
The deleted scene/deleted script that I would have absolutely loved to see [It was in the first Jurassic Park III script and it made a lot of sense] was Grant using the Raptor resonating chamber in the river.
Spinosaurus is focused on Paul on top of the crabe, Alan blows the chamber and the Spinosaurus turns to look at Alan but didn't seemed to scare Spino, Alan blows into the chamber for a second time trying to do it in somekind of "begging for help", same way the raptor did in those chambers where Amanda and Billy trap the raptor and Alan says "She's calling for help" after a few seconds a raptor answers back but can't be seen anywhere, the Spinosaurus look around trying to spot the raptors then the Spino notices a pack of around 5 raptors appeared on the river bank staring at the Spinosaurus then one jumps into his sail and the attack starts while one of the raptors stare into Alan and the raptors let the humans go away.
Roland tembo is the GOAT! 🔥🔥🔥
7:40, oh, no! That sucks! I hope Spielberg had kept the cut footage in his home or in storage.
Amazing video of deleted scenes in the Jurassic franchise that probably makes the movies better,fantastic job.
I don’t understand why they don’t just give us these deleted scenes. Fans LITERALLY would pay to get them.
Blame Spielburg. He's very headstrong against director's cuts. The extended TV edition of TLW is the rare exception. Christopher Nolan is like that too.
For all we know it could be trashed
The Indoraptor’s human skull scene would’ve been so interesting to me. A genetically engineered superior dinosaur with a human skull showing that it would be a truly terrifying dinosaur that would intimidate humans
Seriously, props to that one guy advancing on the Indom firing away while his allies ran.
The boardroom scene and Roland Timbo fist fight scene from Lost World is also available on some copies of DVDs and Blu-Rays...for those who still use those.
Very cool stuff, definitely appreciated the Roland scene at the bar, it adds some depth to his character and shows hes a man with a code.
They actually explained the lysine deficiency in the lost world . After Sarah is introduced she explains that the 🦕 eat foods high in lysine like soy and another type of bean. So this would solve the problem for both islands. Love the channel!
The film id love to see an extended cut of it HAS to be The Lost World hands down! I love the Lost World just like Klayton and I Would love to know what deleted scenes were actually filmed, all the still images we’ve seen I wanna know!
A lot of the reason why so many deleted scenes aren't in special director's cut versions is because that Spielberg doesn't believe in such things. Christopher Nolan is like this too.
this exactly.
@@scottb3034 Hey Scott. How ya doing?
@@rhedosaurus2251 alright. How are you?
@@scottb3034 Not too bad myself. Thank you.
Nice list of the ten deleted scenes that should happen in the Jurassic Franchise and I pretty much agree with your points and everything you said in the video and I wish those could happen in the Jurassic Franchise.
Great work on this and as always, Take It Easy and Life Always Finds A Way.
Thanks for making so much Jurassic Park films. You are the best!
Here we go!
Nostalgic, Top 10
Love you bro
Happy to see the channel doing well. Grew up watching your lore content. You are the voice of the Jurassic park community in my opinion
One of your best videos! Very interesting, didnt knew all of them. And i agree with Ludlows Scene is very important
@TELE--GRAM--.KlaytonFioriti was this a price contest? I use the chance to thank you for all the videos so far. Been watching them for a long time now. Great work
Great video going over these 10 deleted scenes from the Jurassic movies.
That punch was personal ☠️
You do a great job on these videos
Dude these sound so cool! The lost world is my favorite Jurassic Park movie too
I love those deleted scenes of the Jurassic franchise
Awesome video!!!❤️
I wish that Spielberg would release a longer version of the first Jurassic Park movie. My favorite movie of them all 🥰.
I’m glad we didn’t see Ajays death. Granted it would have been terrifying. But Ajay was a very interesting character….i feel leaving that scene out was a sign of respect. We did get to see the other guys being killed so that is ok.
This was great seeing the deleted scenes.❤😂
Oh man, jp2 the fan favourite it seems (likewise) and i love the warpath music in the background, absolutely perfect
we here earlyyyyy
Rey Arnold's death scene in the Jurassic Park, I know it wasn't shot because of Hiniki, but I thnk it was scedualed and would have made for the perfect build up to the introduction of the velociraptor. Plus it was also included in the novel and that was one of the best scenes in the book, personally, I don't know why you missed it klayton, I would have thought that you would have been straight on that one instantly. Non the less, brilliant video,can't wait to see more in the future.
Peacock, I believe has extended cuts of the movie. They've had several movies with deleted scenes added back in. Like Harry Potter DHPt2 the scene where harry and petunia had there interaction was put back in to their run of the film.
I couldn't stop rewinding the beginning 😂
THNXS!
There were special Edition DVD releases of JP and Lost World that had all of the deleted scenes mentioned. They were limited releases before jp3. I wish I still had them knowing now about the fire hitting universal. There was another 2 min extended scene to the prologue of Lost world. It showed the girl being attacked, little cuts from the compy, after the mom screams. Her dad runs up, fights the compys off and they rush the little girl off. They're then in the hospital showing her in the bed barely holding on. Then it cuts to Ian yawning on the subway. it was very anti-climatic.
I've seen the baby t-rex's leg being broken as well. They find the Rex nest and Ludlow, not paying attention and just being scared, slips on the mud and falls into it. They made it look like a mound similar to a huge pile of sand found at a quarry but with the top dug out that was pretty deep and muddy. Ludlow slips and rolls down landing on the baby's leg, waking it up. He starts freaking out because now it's crying out in pain and tells Roland to shoot it. Roland then reiterates he came to the island to hunt a buck and now he had bait. The scene ends with Roland forcing Ludlow to do all the work carrying it but reluctant helps just as it cuts away.
I will admit that the details may be a little off as I'm pushing 37 in 2 months and I was a teenager when I last seen them. I do remember a deleted scene from JP of Sarah grabbing one of the extinct plants as they were riding up to see the Brachiosaurus. It's the one she has in her hand when Alan turns her head.
I'm pretty sure the German cinema cut had that scene. I vividly remember seeing the leg being broken and am always bothered by the DVD which doesn't have the scene. It was such a crucial scene to me
What is your favourite dinosaur in Jurassic Park mine will always be the spinal love your content keep up the great work brother❤
I NEED an ectended cut for TLW in particular. The board room scene in particular irks me that it was cut, since it laid out Isla Nublar's fate. In the scene, its explained that Jurassic Park was destroyed. Presumably by the military or InGen themselves under Hammond's orders. So, it wasn;t the lysine contingency that would've killed the dinos on Nublar.
This has convinced me that we NEED an extended Lost World cut
That was a good video I really loved your list of deleted scenes of Jurassic Park series oh and the next video can you make a whole list of dinosaurs didn't make appearance in the films ❤️❤️😊😊👍👍
I remember seeing the bar fight in Lost World from when i saw the movie in the theater. I was very disappointed that it was cut from the movie later.
3:40, love this version of the movie.
I'm pretty sure some of extra footage from the original trilogy could exist somewhere.
I had a friend back in the late 90's whose uncle worked on the first film. He apparently had some sort of unfinished preliminary cut, and that was the version he had grown up watching.
When he watched my VHS version at my house he was super confused about where certain scenes had gone or why they had been changed.
I don't remember everything he said was supposed to be there but I do remember him talking about more stuff with the Triceratops, that you could see more of the cow and raptors in the feeding scene, and that the leaf wasn't in the way when Muldoon was attacked by the raptors. I wanna say he also said the whole sequence with Elle turning back on the power was longer too, but I can't recall that for certain.
I imagine if one guy on the crew had a copy like that, I'm sure others did too. Just gotta hope one of them still has it somewhere. I've know a few other people with tapes like that for other movies and they do tend to look just like any other random blank tape, so I'm sure most have been long tossed both by virtue of being VHS and not looking like anything important but 🤞 someone held on to theirs.
Ooooh i always wondered if aja was killed in a deleted scene. I knew it was him saying the long grass scene. Thanks
I honestly feel that many if not all of these deleted scenes should've been kept in. Sure, they extend the movies an extra 15-30 minutes, but I think that such a change would've been worth it, as many of these scenes build on the lore, set up some of the already great scenes from the movie, and improve the characters and story as a whole.
Spielberg was all about pacing, that's why his two movies are so lean when they could be much longer. It is also why the idea of a "director's cut" is ludicrous. The theatrical version IS his cut.
@@scottb3034 I wasn’t asking for a ‘director’s cut.’ I was stating that these scenes shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. I don’t care if it ends up being as long as the Lord of the Rings movies, the objective should be the put out the best version of the story. And if including those deleted scenes does exactly that, keep them in.
@@AJSai3007 Never once said you talked about a director's cut. I did explain why these scenes were cut and they were cut for a legitimate filmmaking reason, pay attention and stop whining.
BTW, the "best version of a story" is usually the leanest, most straight to the point and focused version of the story. Not the one that meanders, contemplates its existence and is not laser focused. That's why so many directors talk about pacing and having to make "difficult" cuts. Storytelling isn't the same thing as just cobbling all the best scenes together.
You aren't asking for the best version of the story, you are asking for a padded run time. Not remotely the same thing.
Roland and Ludlow's scenes were cut because the story was ultimately about Malcolm and his group's adventure, the hunters were an ancillary group that supported it, therefore their story was not NEEDED to be told and did not service Malcolm's and the gatherer's story. The only storybeats the hunters had were in conjunction with the story Ian had. With that said, adding their scenes to the movie does not improve the film or its story because it doesn't improve Malcolm's story.
Take your lesson and sit down.
@@scottb3034 Ok, I don’t get why you’re getting aggressive about this. Granted, I could’ve worded my response a bit better to be more reasonable, but let’s take things down a notch.
In your first response to me, you brought up the idea of a ‘director’s cut’ being dumb in the case for Spielberg. I was not talking about that. My argument is that the deleted scenes presented in this video should’ve been kept in their respective movies due to the reasons I gave in my original comment. You respond saying that Spielberg intentionally cut scenes due to pacing and that it was his vision for the story. You expanded on this in your second response by saying ‘“the best version of a story” is usually the leanest, most straight to the point, and focused version of the story.’ You also argued that the scenes with Roland and Ludlow were cut because the story was focused on Malcom and his group, and thus the hunters story was not needed. You then ended by saying that it doesn’t improve the film or the story because it doesn’t improve Malcom’s story.
I don’t doubt that it was Spielberg’s vision to not have these scenes in due to pacing and to make the story straightforward and lean. And I am still a fan of the story we did end up getting. I am simply not convinced that adding these scenes would hurt the overall story and think that it would do the opposite.
Yes, the best stories are usually the more lean and straightforward ones. Emphasis on the word ‘usually.’ Just because it usually happens, doesn’t mean it always happens, that there are exceptions. I am of the opinion that the movies associated with the scenes from this video are among those exceptions. Take the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Hobbit trilogy to a lesser extent. The extended versions of the films do meander around and feel long winded, but they also feel better structured and/or help the story make more sense in some cases (extended scenes for the battle of Minas Tirith), they add little details that flesh out characters and improve world building (The introduction on Hobbits as a people, Treebbeard’s talk of Ent culture, all cut scenes involving Boromir), add more depth to already great scenes (Aragorn’s speech at the Black Gate, Frodo’s meeting with Galadriel), and it makes the fate of certain characters more satisfying and/or impactful (The death of Saruman). All of these scenes are able to improve the story without harming that of the main character(s).
This also ties into your last point about how adding the deleted scenes would not improve the movie because they don’t improve Malcom’s story in The Lost World. Yes, he is the main character, but the story of the Lost World isn’t his story. The overall story contains his story and centers around him, but it also centers around the story of the other characters. This is very much like the original novels. The story involves and at times centers around him, but it’s not ultimately about him. For the same reason, first Jurassic Park movie wasn’t about Alan Grant, but it revolves around him, Malcom, Ellie, Hammond, Arnold, and even Nedry. The same can be said for the majority of movies that aren’t centered around one character, like Spider-Man or Batman. Sure, the scenes with Roland doesn’t improve Malcom’s story, but it doesn’t hurt his story either. From what I can see, all they would do is add depth to Roland as a character and makes his ending more tragic. Even if you prove that they don’t improve the overall story, that doesn’t completely justify their absence because the quality of the story remains intact whether they’re there or not. You need to show how adding these scenes would hurt the story.
Great video
Would love to see redux versions of all the Jurassic Park editions with all the deleted scenes reinserted as special edition blu rays
There is another scene in the Lost World that ended up on the cutting room floor. It's the Buck T. rex attacking Roland Tembo after he hit it with a tranquilizer. In an old Lost World documentary you see a cardboard T. rex head on a stick that picks up Tembo (stuntman). Roland only survives because the tranquilizer starts to work and the Buck does not use its full bite force.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Interesting thing, I saw an airing of The Lost World on TV and they INCLUDED the deleted boardroom scene and the Roland Tembo scene
One other scene I saw you cover in another video is Ludlow's original death. In my opinion, the San Diego stuff ruined Lost World for me. But the original ending to Lost World was were Roland and Ludlow are out in the woods together and a T Rex comes up behind them. Ludlow and Roland have guns with them but Roland tells him not to shoot, "the animals have won." The T Rex then leaves, but as it leaves Ludlow starts shooting at it with Roland getting angry at him. Ludlow is then picked up by the T Rex but not eaten. Instead, just like the original ending, it breaks his leg and we hear screaming going on, most likely interpreting (or showing I don't remember) the infant eating Ludlow. It also ends with Roland being satisfied that he has found a worthy animal that is not to easy to hunt down but has a lot of intelligence to work with.
The Lost World needs its own "Snyder Cut".
Indoraptor is by far my favorite hybrid, while the indominus Rex was super hostile because it was by itself and agitated but the Indoraptor was just doing it for fun and it was creepy and awesome. I personally think fallen kingdom was a good sequel to the first jurassic world.
Me too i just don't like how he was treated
I wouldn't mind seeing the alternate ending for I think it was JP3, where they escape via helicopter and suddenly pteranodons attack the copter. I heard a rumor that scene was filmed and I wouldn't mind it being included in a bonus content one day
I'd love it if they reimagined the first three with some of these scenes but unfortunately I feel the magic would be gone
I remember when I was a kid, the lost world on TV had their deleted scenes and I thought it was amazing, specifically remeber the Ingen board room and Roland and ajays introduction
kKayton, as i am watching your videos and rewatching the movies, one of the things that has stuck with me is how dieter is treated after nick sabotages the camp on sorna/ his death, do you think he deserved the treatment that he gets in the movie after his introduction? Or, with your knowledge, do you think he should have been treated differently? Thanks for always putting out these videos!
More honourary mentions for deleted scenes:
A guy shocking the Indoraptor with a baton and smiling from the other side of a cage. And the Indoraptor mimicked his smile, hence why it knew how to smile when pretending to be asleep.
The scene where Ellie grabs a leaf while they're driving in jeeps at the beginning of the first film.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex bursting through the kid's house in San Diego in The Lost World.
That baby rex broken leg scene is well worth it adding while the bar scene adds nothing to the plot but i guess the lost world is already a very long movie
I wish they had the trike sick scene still in there since we got that answer in the book, but it just gets left hanging in the movie. They took a good chunk to explain that the animal was sick, but never got the answer of why even though there was one.
Of all the frustrating things about Fallen Kingdom, not establishing that Iris is dead is INSANE. Other than her never being mentioned again, we have every reason to assume she lived. If she did what she was told and left immediately, no dinosaurs were loose then and presumably she had a car so she got safely away to probably have a serious cry and realize she needs to call the cops. It's so lazy and cheap that I honestly can't even. You're gonna force this adoption on the main couple, and failed to kill off her loving guardian that raised her, knows her secret, and wants to be in her life? Yikes, just have one of the escaped dinosaurs crush her where she's pulled over crying in her car after Masie lets them out. It would even add a layer of character development.
I'm really enjoying all your Jurassic Park content!
12:54 I swear I've seen this deleted scene on disc before. I had the Collectors Edition Trilogy with all 3 movies in it that included some deleted scenes I think. I was really really young, so its hard to remember.
I remember hearing somewhere about a deleted scene from Jurassic park which was supposed to feature the hadrosaur enclosure in the park tour. I would have loved to see that in the film.
I always thought they broke the leg on purpose, so it would cry and bring the buck back to the nest. And the way its in the movie currently, that's what most people thinks they did.
Think about bullets hitting the Indoraptors skin as a bullet proof vest. The rough skin and muscles would form around a bullet like a inflated ballon that won’t pop. The bullet flattens out and lodges shallow. But a dart would rip apart the structure of the skin itself. Of course it’s a small hole and superficial so it doesn’t hurt, but it delivers the sedative 9:43
I swear when i saw lost world back in the day at the drive in, that hunter camp scene had more of the sabotage part in it and chaos...When i got it on VHS stuff was missing...And i refuse to believe im crazy😂
Would love to see a final cut with those scenes added. I have the lost world comic book from 1997 and it shows every deleted scene, I guess that's the closest I'll ever be to enjoy the extended version of this movie.
