Movie Summary:
In Steven Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.

You begged me to take you to see JP. We sat in the front row. When you saw the close up of the T-Rex, you screamed, ran and left me! Lol! I'm dying!!!!
That's hilarious thank you for this 😂
awwww pore baby and now look at him all grown up watch the very same thing that scared him you must be proud of him
In defence of aunties everywhere, we are absolute suckers for anything our nephews ask. My then 10-yr-old nephew told me with absolute certainty that he was allowed to watch Ghostbusters, that my bro-in-law’s father, Poppy, had already let him watch it. He got scared, I spoke to my sister and he was most emphatically NOT allowed to watch Ghostbusters and had never seen it and could I please ask next time 😂😂
@@scottosborne2915 I'm super proud of my baby! Go B!
@@WriterOnTheEdge Hillarious story! And yes, they know how to wrap auntie around their little finger.
Fun fact: Ariana Richards, who played Lex, was casted because of her scream. Stephen Spielberg auditioned tons of girls & asked them to record their screams then when he was listening to them at home hers was the only one loud enough to wake up his wife & made her run downstairs to check on their kids.
I was sure she was going to become a Scream Queen; she does fear so well.
I wonder if she can still scream like that. I know she’s left the business but still, I wish she’d make an appearance in some sort of future JP media.
@@Betweentheraindrops8The closest we got was a Cameo in _The Lost World._
Also the screams of the kids when the t-rex broke the sunroof were in legit fear. It wasn't supposed to do that, the animatronic was a lot heavier than expected and broke the glass.
@@Flufferz626 Indeed! You can see the glass breaking in the scene.
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.
Lol!
Interesting fact, Ellie did not know about the raptor that showed up because Spielberg wanted a genuine reaction
@@cubbi2789 Little bit of a dick move, but mission accomplished
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay I think it was kind of like how they used a bunch of pig's blood in Ailiens for the chest burst scene and didn't tell anyone because they wanted their real reactions.
I've seen this movie 100 times and still cover my eyes with my hands and keep through my fingers lol
"T-Rex can't see you if you don't move" is easily the BIGGEST myth this film presents about T-Rex. T-Rex had the largest eyes of any dinosaur that ever lived, and its eyesight was EASILY on par with that of hawks and eagles. Not only CAN it see you if you're standing still, but it can see you from at least a MILE away (it can smell you at least FIVE miles away).
In theory anyway.
@@Kjf365 This is what all the current paleontological evidence says.
We could say, due to how the scients used DNA from modern era lizards, frogs and gators, they changed some of the ways the dinosaurs behaved. & they didn't have thie mother's to teach them. This is of course using movie storytelling 🤔
@@kevinnorwood8782 And the previous paleontological evidence said the T-rex could only see movement. The fact is that without the actual living creature to look at, it's all just speculation.
The biggest flaw with the scientific community is that they assume the current running theory is right, as if they hadn't just been confidendtly wrong previously.
No it cant bc its on the ground lol. Eagles can only see things far away when up in the sky. They cant see through objects like forests lmao.
Fun Fact: Real Velociraptor’s were actually tiny and covered in feathers! The fictional raptors we see in JW are actually based on the Deinonychus, a close relative to the Velociraptor!
Exactly. Look up in the air or at your plate. You can still see dinosaurs there today. Because birds, such as chickens, are dinosaurs.
But nowadays, we have Utahraptor.
They discovered the Utahraptor not long after this movie came out lmao.
It's a long time after the original book, but still, funny.
@@Kjf365 The Utahraptor was described by Kirkland, Gatson, and Burge in 1993. Meaning they had worked on fossils for a while and decided it didn't fit in with the other Dromaeosaurinae. The first pieces of a specimen were found in 1975. At the time they were probably believed to belong to another sort of Dromaeosaurinae or even more wrongly Velociraptorinae.
There was an academic debate about what counted as "velociraptor" at the time. I believe the film backed the folks calling a genus "velociraptor" because Spielberg thought that was the cooler sounding name, but the name ended up being for the single species definitively per consensus after the movie released. They were then stuck with the name in their canon and couldn't really change it to reflected the new naming scheme.
I saw this movie back in '93 in a very large theater in the St. Louis area. I'll never forget that experience. No one had ever seen effects like this before. They had the sounds system cranked to 11 ! When it was over the audience stood and applauded.
It loses so much power on the small screen. In the theater when the life sized T-Tex exits its cage and roared, the entire audience flinched. It was visceral.
Frankly, I'd pay to see it on the big screen again.
I saw this in 93 in a drive in theater, in the rain, in my mom's Jeep Cherokee
Jurassic Park is my favorite movie ever… Back in 1993 no one had ever seen effects like these before… No one had ever seen so realistic dinosaurs before… it’s the only movie I’ve seen twice to the cinema and a lot of times to the TV, I bought the VHS and the DVD of Jurassic Park. For me this first movie is something incredible… a masterpiece!
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..." 🦖
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST GO FASTER!" 👽👽
I don't think anyone knows what Sam L Jackson's first role is. He's always just... been there. In all the movies. He was acting in movies before movies were a thing, and some say he'll still be acting when we're all long gone. Praise be to SLJ.
He was also in almost everything
Jurassic Park, GoodFellas, Tarintino films, a time to kill, Die hard 3, etc. Etc.
He pops up in multiple franchises and different genres
I think he was in "Coming to America", as the robber. I'm sure I'm wrong but i think that was good first film, with Eddie Murphy back in the 80s...
Coming to America.
@@julianaFinn that was him.
I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters on opening night as a kid. I wish I could fully articulate just how amazing it was, seeing dinosaurs on the screen and how it was such huge leap forward in special effects. The T-Rex escape scene - especially the sheer _sound_ of the roars pinning me to my seat - will forever be burned into my memory. 1993 doesn't feel that long ago... One other little thing I enjoyed was the full music theme which plays during the credits. It starts with the epic main theme, then gives way to a more soothing piano rendition. But in the last 30 seconds, the piano fades away, and it's replaced with somber horns and shrill violins. It underscores that once the adventure and heartfelt moments are over, the dinosaurs are still out there, with sinister and terrifying implications of what's to come. The novel is great as well; there are plenty of moments that never made it to the screen (for the sake of pacing and gory visuals), and there are differences with regards to some of the characters. As for the sequels... Well, they're pretty hit or miss, and none of them capture the magic of this first one. The Lost World is okay as long as you focus on the spectacle instead of the writing. Jurassic World is basically both a sequel and a soft reboot of Jurassic Park, but for modern audiences.
So, fun fact, when they were filming Jurassic Park in Hawaii, an actual Hurricane hit the island.
Spielberg, the Mad Lad, went out _into a Hurricane_ to get footage of the Storm Surge making landfall.
Another fun fact! Samuel L. Jackson was supposed to film his character's death scene for the movie, but bcause of said hurricane, he couldn't fly out to Hawaii in time to film it, so they made a cast prop of his arm and used that to show he died off-screen!
he actually did not. the filmed some of the local bay/docking area that could be seen from the hotel the crew stayed at. Spielberg entertained the children with games during the storm and Richard Attenborough slept through it in his room.
@@shionrasenka they also moved the gallimimus stampede to Oahu due to the storm damage.
they had also made dummy legs and body but only used the arm.
@@scottb3034 He still had to walk out of the hotel, into the storm, to get the footage.
This was said by some of the folks in the hotel at the time.
@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim Or it was just taken through a doorway/window from inside the hotel....just like was done with Empire Strikes Back.
He would not be allowed to just walk into the storm or the pre-storm because of insurance considerations. The same reason movie stars can't do certain stunts.
The music in this movie is fantastic. A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to attend a concert by the Dallas symphony. It was Jurassic park and the movie played on a huge theater screen but ALL the music of the film was played live by the symphony. It was amazing and an experience I will never forget.
Cool!
Amazing!
I went to the San Francisco Symphony's performance. Wonderful.
I'm in Dallas, too. I saw the same type of show for Ghostbusters and Back to the Future. What a great idea for music and film
6:40 Dude, It's more than okay to know beautiful iconic movie scores without seeing the movie. Music is wonderfully transcendent that way. You can appreciate music beyond its original media showcase. I adore 'Nessun Dorma' and have never seen the Puccini opera it's from. Music is amazing... but seeing what it was written for gives it a new life.
I loved dinosaurs as a kid long before this...and I just couldn't believe my eyes. The perfect combination of CGI and practical effects, lost arts. I saw this in theaters 6 times as a kid, that's how epic it was. I will never forget feeling the T-Rex's steps while the water ripples. One of the greatest cinematic experiences in history. Remember Steven Spielberg was working on Schindler's List at the same time...Now that's chaos.
Actually, some of these dinosaurs r robots. I have watched the making of Jurassic Park 1
Yes! That scene when they first saw the dinosaurs, and Dr. Sadler and Dr. Grant had tears streaming down their face? So did I. That moment was practically a nature documentary with how real they looked. That feeling of awe was overwhelming.
@@mariyamatia8726 The robots count as part of the practical effects since they're a real, physical thing.
@@lunacouer I imagine that before this movie, dinosaurs were only ever illustrated in books. And suddenly, they were "real"!!! Amazing.
@@silverdandylmao That's exactly it! Either that or the dinosaurs from the TV show _The Land of the Lost*_ 😅
*From the 70's. They had stop motion animated dinosaurs 😅
i saw this in the theater on opening night. a lot of parents brought their little kids to see this great dinosaur movie. the sound of dozens of second graders shrieking in a delighted terror was almost painful to listen to
The kids in the theater where I saw it were screaming, too, but it sure as hell wasn’t with delight. There was a parade of parents carrying their sobbing children out.
I was 17 when I saw this at the cinema and I would be scared that raptors were going to jump out the bushes at me for months. It was like creeping yourself out after a ghost story. Took me ages to shake it off.
I was a teen when I saw this in the theater as well. When I came home that night, my dad hid behind the door when I came in and said Boo! I SCREAMED! LOL. I hadn't come off the adrenaline from the movie. I don't think my Dad had ever done that before, and he hasn't since.🤣🤣
And omg the kitchen scene with the raptors is so tense and awesome.
I remember watching an iceberg explained video on Jurrasic Park recently. The roof window of the Jeep with the kids was supposed to not break in but the animatronic shmashed it in and those screams were real not just acted. They kept it in because it was genuinely good and caused by actual fear. There're a lot more quite disturbing facts about this series.
I need to find this video.
To clarify, the roof window was supposed to come *down*, but that chunk of it that broke off (and hit one of the kids) wasn't supposed to happen.
The water from the fake rain on set was causing the animatronic to short out a bit and behave erratically and it came down with more force than they planned for it to, and it also broke one of the teeth on it in addition to breaking the window.
As you can probably tell, this is my favorite series of all time! This movie was mind blowing in 93.
What was so great about the first Jurassic Park film is Spielberg and Michael Crichton the writer of the book series took their time getting into the horror / action part. The build-up and character development is what makes you care about the stuff that comes near the end, and it's so much more brilliant than all of these crappy movies that just throw the action right at the beginning. In those types of movies and books, you have no frame of reference to care about the characters or understand the story. This is a masterpiece. All the rest of the Jurassic Park movies pale in comparison. This is what Spielberg learned from Jaws. While it was initially a mistake in the Jaws films because they had trouble with the animatronic shark, it ended up making it a better film to save the Jaws reveals until the third act, and taught Spielberg how to make a truly scary picture.
The origin of Sexy Jeff Goldblum. So unnecessary yet so iconic.
Lmao right? Jeff Goldblum isn't an actor. He's just being Jeff Goldblum on camera, and it's perfect.
I read a story once about how a bit of water got inside of the electronic t rex after a bad storm blew through. It apparently caused the head to move on it's own, scaring the crap out of a few people on set. Not sure how much truth their is to that story, but it always makes me chuckle. 😄
The rain soaked into the skin and made the whole thing so heavy that it would develop the shakes. They'd have to stop filming and dry it out.
I had read the book... I was very excited, and a bit incredulous, when I heard they were making a movie. 'How could they make any of it believable?!', I asked myself.
Well, uh, they found a way. ;-]
I’m not walking up on a neighbor’s dog much less a whole ass dinosaur 😂
I love this movie. It's a major part of my childhood. That being said, it still really bugs me that there were several gaps in that electric fence large enough that Tim and Lex could've easily climbed through instead of over. XD
The special effects in this were way ahead of it's time. It still holds up in 2023, a full 30 years later. Amazing.
This is, and has remained, my favorite movie of all time for over 30 years. That scene with all the dinos by the lake gets me misty eyed every time. The only fucked up part is that the first time I saw it was when I got the VHS on my third birthday back in '94. Watched it the same day and never batted an eye at all the death.
I don't think I've been quite right ever since.
yesss watch all 6! some are better than others from both a technical as well as narrative/plot viewpoint, but personally i enjoyed watching all of them regardless. they're fun movies! enjoyed the reaction 😄
Noted! 🔥
Studies of T-rex skulls indicate that they had excellent-forward facing vision. As you would expect from a large predator. Also, they were possessed of an outstanding sense of smell. As you would expect from a predator who almost certainly also scavenged.
Standing still wouldn't save you for five seconds. That was simply a plot device invented by Crichton.
35:14 they were going to film Sam's death scene, but it was impossible because of the bad weather that day, also Ellie had a cut scene where she stumbled with his body, that's why she was suddenly limping after that
Also, many people see the whole, Tim saying 3 after being resuscitated thing as a joke, but realistically, he said it because it was the very last thing that went through his mind before he got zapped and basically died. He woke up and his brain relayed his last thought. Another big thing: watch the scene at 36:44 in the actual movie, you cant see it here cuz of the bubble, but in that scene when it pans to the kids, if you look at the back side of the raptor, you will see a very obvious hand come in and rest on the raptor, because the animatronic was falling forward, so someone had to prop it back up
Samuel L Jackson is legit in every movie 😭 nice reaction! The third one is my favorite, so I can’t wait for you to get to that one agin 😁
One of the saddest moments of my life was when i found out actually velociraptors were barely 2/3 feet tall, low-key ruined it😭
The loud raptor scream right after this scene always made me jump(11:17) 🤣
The blend of CGI and practical effects in this movie is probably the best out there.
I enjoy too many of Jeff's movies but one of my favs of his from when I was a kid is 'Earth Girls Are Easy'. Jeff, Damon Wayans and Jim Carry play aliens.
I appreciate any movie where Jeff Golblum, Damon Waynes, and Jim Carrey getting a full body shave is a major plot point.
You need to watch VIBES. He and Cindi Lauper were great.
when I went to Universal and I saw the JP gate and the theme was playing I actually started crying. JP is one of my favorite series. Any time I hear the theme I always get a little teary eyed.
DNA was starting to become a big deal when I saw this in 1993.
- 1986 was the 1st time DNA was used in a court case. By 1996 Scientists cloned the 1st mammal.
(Dolly the Sheep.)
At 13, Jurassic Park started my interest in DNA and forensics.
Jeff Goldbloom has def been in some bangers. Jurassic Park, Independence Day and Thor Ragnorak are my favs
The bit when the t Rex comes through the glass of the jeep to the kids, it wasn’t planned so their reaction was real. I love velociraptors they’re my favourite dinosaur.
Wow! I didn't know that.
Not true at all. They screamed in every take, the actor said that during one of the tales the corner of the plexi glass broke, that’s it. It was always meant to break through. An exaggerated myth that just won’t die
It was in the script, it was storyboarded, and Tim's actor has said that once the head came down too fast and chipped a tooth (without breaking through), and that's all he ever said about that scene other than the usual generic stuff actors say.
I don't get why people have this desire for things in movies to be "real"
@@Eidlones I think its along the lines of being believable.
@@anitadelacruz4897 It is, but all these movie myths that refuse to die are all based around some part of the movie being real. Heath Ledger and the hospital explosion in Dark Knight, the actors reactions to the chest burster in Alien, Leo actually smothering his costar's face in his real blood (Which would have been a crime), etc.
It's just weird to me how these are the myths that spread about various films, while other ones don't, with the only thing in common being "It was actually real"
I was 7 yrs old when JP came out. Still my favorite movie of all time.
Jurassic Park is my absolute favorite of the entire saga! I still have memories when I went a local movie theater, and it had famous scenes from movies framed on the wall. They had a framed shot of the scene of the T-Rex roaring as the Jurassic Park banner falls. 🦕🦖🖤💛❤️
This is legitimately almost my exact experience! My dad took me to see JP3 in theatres when I was 8 years old. I spent the entire movie bawling, grasping my dads hand while I hid under the fold-up seats. 😂 but it created a Dino obsession in me that still lasts to this day, so you and I had opposite reactions after.
Yup. I didn't last, left about half way through and had vivid nightmares for weeks. Have watched it a million times since.
I don't care what people say I love this franchise. Yes even the Jurassic World movies. Top 5 movie franchise.
Jurassic World 3 was such a disappointment
@@LuciesCafecap. That was my favorite one growing up bc the spinosaurus and rex fight is the best part in the whole first 3 movies
@@brendanmarr9048Yeah that's Jurassic Park 3. The other guy was talking about Jurassic World 3, aka Dominion
I love Jeff Goldblum and even though he has no range he's always fun to watch in every role.
Jeff Goldblum isn't an actor. He's literally just Jeff Goldblum on camera. And he's absolutely brilliant lol. Watch his interviews
@@krisfrederick5001 I do sometimes.
My major crust as a kid
@@krisfrederick5001 He used to be an actor.
The fact that Spielberg directed "Jurassic Park" while making "Schindler's List" is a testament to his creativity and genius. He also teamed with one of my favorite composers John Williams one again for the main score which they worked together for the main score for Spielberg's 1975 "Jaws" film. Williams also composed the score for "Star Wars" which is all 3 movies have a similar unassuming jovial sound despite the thilling and menacing nature of the action. Great reaction ❤
he had essentially finished working on Jurassic Park when he moved on to Schindler's List. George Lucas did 95% of the work on JP after filming was over. Spielberg would consult the crew once a week by phone or visit when he was in pre-production on SL.
Jeff Goldblum also says a line in this movie and Independence day the exact same thing. "MUST GO FASTER MUST GO FASTER"
30:24 the slow descent from happiness to disgust is incredible 🤣
Especially as a kid one of my favorites was Radio Flyer with that boy in this movie and Elijah Wood played as his brother in that movie.
So "Star Wars" & "Jurassic Park" had the same film score composer: John Williams. One of the greats. He also did Jaws & Indiana Jones 😊
You know, there’s a bit in the original book that I really do think the movie kinda messed up on. When Wu mentioned that the animal was a velociraptor, grant was fairly casual, mentioning he just uncovered one. Then they visited the velociraptors, and the animals tried to attack them through the fence. They started getting concerned when Malcom very helpfully pointed out that predators usually avoid humans unless they learn humans are easy to kill… so where did the raptors learn that?
Details they left out that was in the book, the bite of the raptor victim
As per your saying kid actors grow up to star in other films, the child actor playing the grandson went on to star in 'Bohemian Rhapsode' to play the bassist in the rock group Queen.
21:34 "The cars are drivable right? Y'all not tryna move?" No, they are not. Those are electric jeeps on a rail track.
21:47 "Don't move and it wont see you = common knowledge" That was popularized by THIS movie, but it's completely fictional. Historically, Trexes probably had pretty good eyesight, but the fictional Trex had some deficiencies due to its hybrid DNA
I personally think the it cant see you if you dont move is a lie that Grant told to stop the kids from moving which could trigger the Rex prey instincts.
So the scene with Lexi and Tim in the car, when the Rex smashes the roof in and the glass breaks? The kids are ACTUALLY screaming. The glass wasn't supposed to break like it did, but the take ended up being so good they kept it in!
👏 this
👏 is
👏 not
👏 true
They screamed in every take. It smashed through the roof in every take. The actor said during one take the corner of the plexi glass broke, that’s it. Stop spreading mis information
This isn't true at all. If the glass broke like that unexpectedly they would have immediately cut and got the kids out of there for safety. I have no idea why there's always people spreading this fake story, it makes zero sense at all.
indeed bs. the tooth on the trex broke and they kept the same model for the other movies you can identify it by the missing tooth. when it hit the glass. that was maybe supposed to be what this tid bit was about? they kept the tooth broken in the shot and throughout@@nissy9220
With the glass being hit like that there is absolutely no way it would have stayed in one piece the entire time. It breaking is it obeying the laws of physics and being realistic.
I was 7 years old when JP3 came out. I grew up watchin the movies. If im guessing right, the first instance of an actual dino in JP3 that would scare the crap out of a kid would've been when the Spino comes out and eats Cooper
I clearly remember seeing this is the theaters with my parents. The whole theater shook when the rex roared or stomped around. The raptors (which were really only 2 feet tall in real life) scared me to the point that I actually cracked the bathroom door at the theater open just enough for me to see that there were no raptors waiting for me inside.
In addition to the fact that the raptors were made bigger than they were, there is no evidence that the Diliphosaurus (the spitting dinosaur) had frills or shot venom.
I was 30 when this movie came out. My soon-to-be-ex-husband had the kids for the day and I went to the movies. When T-Rex made her first appearance, I was WTF!!! Amazing that the CGI still holds up 30 years later.
The Lost World Trespasser from '98 is abandoned freeware today, and it finally runs smoothly. Check out what else Seamus Blackley has done!
When I went to see Jurassic World a number of years back, the same thing happened at the theater I was in. Kids running out screaming and crying. It's rated what it's rated for a reason and people didn't listen 😂
I was 7 when I saw this in theaters. Had a blast lol.
Dinos are fun subject, once you look beyond movies! They were basically just as vicious as any lion, bear, cat, squirrel, cow - because they filled every niche you can think of in nature, they are known to have climbed trees as well as dug burrows, and the 1-2 thousand species we consider valid today, represent only a disappearing fraction of the real number considering a single fossil is pretty much a miraculous event
Jurassic Park ignited a second dinosaur renaissance (first one was in the 60s), where lots and lots of people flocked to paleontology studies, to contribute to the ever growing well of knowledge!
One of my favourite movies. Spielberg did an amazing job, it holds up really well even after 20 years its crazy. In my opinion neither of the movies in the franchise manages to top this one they go way over the top at times but they are all fun to watch.
I love how this guy is just 😐 though the crunchy technical talk.
That's my favorite part of movies like this! I don't just like seeing what happens, but they discussion of how and why too!
Another good movie with Sam Neil, is “Hunt for Red October”. Top notch movie!
i have been fortunate to see ALL the Jurassic Park/World movies in theater..... and when my local theater does a throwback and plays the 1st one I ALWAYS go :) so classic, and no cgi at all..... such classic scenes with all the practical effects.
This has to be one of the best reactions yet. Nice one sir, I loved it.
The kid that plays Tim also played in Bohemian Rhapsody as the bass player for Queen. He also played in a TV series called The Pacific. He played a marine in WWII.
Changed my life. I saw it 25 times in the theatre. By the end of that summer my parents were dropping me off at the drive-in three or four nights a week with a lawn chair and a sleeping bag, telling me to 'find my own ride home'. (It was Cape Cod in the Nineties, I wasn't in much danger)
I brought my big shoulder mounted VHS Tape Recorder and may have invented bootlegging.
When I got home to watch it, I realized the mic wasnt connected - I had successfully recorded the whole movie, but no soundtrack.
Alas! The microphone was lost to time and family vacations, so the very next night I went back with an audio cassette recorder and recorded the sound. I spent the rest of the fall downstairs in the basement with the VCR and Cassette player, rewinding, pausing playing, over and over, until I could push play on both simultaneously, with the sound and picture synced, and relive the fantasy until those tapes wore out.
The novel is even better than the movie and for sure worth reading or hearing (audio book)
You could ask me any question about the first movie and i could answer it. Always and is still my favorite movie
As someone who absolutely loves this franchise, even with its weaker installments, your reactions were so entertaining. There is something so very special about seeing this film in particular for the first time. If you like to read or listen to audio books I would highly recommend the novel. It's a lot gorier, and twice the action of the movie. If they have followed the book this movie would have been rated R. Not to take anything away from this film
Because it was such a monumental moment in film
History. I hope it makes it into the Library of Congress. Thank you for sharing your reaction.
My favorite movie from Jeff Goldblum is a mostly forgotten movie called Powder. It's a deeply philosophical and emotional movie I think you would probably love. 🥰
38:33 "would you consider this horror?" Absolutely. One of the most successful horror films of all time. Mainstream movie fans shy away from calling films they like "horror" because it's not considered a prestigious genre, or else they wouldn't need terms like "elevated horror". But this movie functions largely on the terror of being eaten by wild animals, so what else are you going to call it?
Perfectly said ✔️
I loved watching a bit of your soul die when the dino sneezed on Lex LOL. Samuel L. Jackson actually was supposed to have a death scene. But there was a storm where they were filming and the set was destroyed. It does work in having that scare when his arm landed on Ellie. There is a huge classic movie from years earlier where a kid dies and it's a driving force of the plot. I won't name the movie in case you have yet to watch it. A classic. It wasn't incredibly common at the time, nor was it when Jurassic Park came out.
I saw this in the theatre as a teenager and it was a great experience! Everyone screamed and laughed and the animatronics were kind of groundbreaking at that point I think.
The merch was real though, my little brother had it all; bag, water bottle, cap…you name it 😅
SLJ's first role... In 1988 Samuel L. Jackson was a robber who failed to rob the McDonald's knockoff, McDowell's in 1988's Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, John Amos and James Earl Jones amongst others. Eddie beat him up with a mop handle.😂 Before that he played a small bit role in 1981's Ragtime. He was also in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing in 1989.
It's back in theaters now, in 3d, for its 30 year anniversary!
When you asked what Samuel L. Jackson's first movie role was it was a movie called Together For Days it was released back in 1972. His first TV show role was a show called Movin' On back in 1976. He did start his career out pretty early back in the 70s and 80s but it wasn't until the 90s when he became a household name.
This is my favorite movie of my life lol and has been since seeing it at 6 yrs old. I had a fascination with dinosaurs then after i saw this i started having jurasskc park dreams for most of my life. Its been probably a year or so since ive had one of those dreams but imagine having almost the same dream for almost 30 yrs lol. i can't even tell you how much i still watch it 30 yrs later. This is the best one of the 6 so just know that lol.
12:23 ironically he was the only one in that room that died
Wayne Knight's been in a lot of things! You ever seen Space Jam? Voice roles too, like in Tarzan and Hercules!
Jurassic Park was one of Samuel Jackson's first big roles. Before this, he'd had at bunch of bit parts, and then a breakout role in Do The Right Thing. The following year, he was in Jurassic Park, and a year later, starring in Pulp Fiction.
My seventh grade science teacher was SO excited to show us this movie, even though most of us had already seen it. He paused the movie during the t-rex chase, (27:44 for this video) to point out that the "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" warning makes the scene really funny. It seems obvious now, but at that point in my life I had never thought about it. Now it is the first thing that pops into my head when someone says "Jurassic Park"
the "Dont move" thing only works in jurassic park movies. Tyrannosaurus had the biggest eyeballs of any dinosaur, and binocular vision, so their eyesight was comparable to an eagle. Also if they couldnt see you for some reason, they would most certainly be able to smell you, even if you were 5 miles away. Not to mention their padded feet so you wouldnt even hear them coming, until it was too late
Great reaction man!, Yeah JP movies would be Sci fi horror for me. Hope you do the rest of them, they're fun to watch :)
That movie will always be ICONIC!
Facts cuz !
At 11:45 why's he smiling like that? Fun fact, it's because he's trying not to laugh from Spielberg being in the vegetation making "dinosaur noises."
Wayne Knight was also in Dead Again, Basic Instinct, a recurring guest star on Seinfeld, and regular on Third Rock from the Sun.
The little girl was also in Spaced Invaders and Tremors (and, of course, Jurassic Park: The Lost World).
Hollywood films were killing kids in 1931, if not before - but Spielberg was doing it by 1975.
The guy you knew from Space Jam was also Newman in Seinfeld, he was Jerry's neighbor/arch nemesis.
He was also Al/guy in the chicken suit in Toy Story 2.
14:53 for context in the novel Nedry was convinced to work for Ingen by Hammond, who greatly undersold how much work was expected for the role, think setting up the network for a mom & pop shop and instead it's for a national or multinational company. Not wanting to do such a monumental workload for what he was getting paid he quit, to which Ingen sued him for breach of contract, and during the legal battle badmouthed him to his clients as unprofessional and unreliable making them stop working with him. Nedry was forced to concede and continue working at Ingen for peanuts plus a massive legal bill.
Jeff is the GOAT of this series.... and if you have never watched Vibes, you are missing out on my all time favourite line of his. haha Also funny side note... The lawyer survives in the book, but in the second book they say he died of dysentery on a trip which is basically dying on the toilet. So him dying sitting on a toilet in this first movie is a hilarious call back.
When I was a kid, I thought Dr. Ian Malcolm was the GOAT of the movie. But as I got older, Tim became the GOAT in my book.
Don't feel bad about running out of the movie theater. When I was 7 my parents took me to see Jaws 3. (yeah the 3-D one) I never made it through the opening credits. When the dismembered grouper head floated through the blood I screamed until they had to take me out of the show. Today (40 years later) it is one of my guilty pleasure. The film is so bad, the special effects laughable, but I will always love it for the memories alone.😂😂
Oh, you are in for a treat with this franchise !!!!
Fun fact, the actress who played Lex (the girl), those auditioning for the role were just told to scream. When the guy going over the auditions was watching the tapes was watching them at night, and hers woke his wife up from down the hall.
Funny story. My parents took my younger brother and I to see this movie in the 90s. This is one of the first major CGI films popularly released. Anyway, I was in middle school, my brother was in elementary. During the scene with the Tyrannosaurus attacking the suv he stood up on his seat and tried to climb over the back of his seat. In a packed theater. So Im hanging on to his shirt trying to pull him back into his seat while my eyes are riveted to the screen in terror and telling him to sit down 😂My brother was also so freaked out he tried to flee. Dont feel bad.
A couple fun facts:
- The dinosaurs were originally going to be entirely animatronics. The soon-to-be VFX director at the time kept suggesting they use CGI for some of the crazier scenes, but Spielberg kept shutting him down, to the point where he even said he’d be FIRED if he didn’t stop nagging him about it. This man, out of pure spite, created his own *RENDERING ENGINE* specifically to prove to Spielberg that CGI dinosaurs could work.
- The scream in the T-Rex’s roar was apparently made by a baby elephant, and it only ever made that sound once in the like 5 or so hours they played with it.
- In real life, the T-Rex actually would have had some of the best eyesight any land predator has ever had on Earth. The reason why it’s mostly based on movement in the films is simply because they used frog DNA to fill in the genetic gaps, and a frog’s eyesight are made to point out little movements from insects. Because of this, the T-Rex’s eyesight ended up being based on movement, presumably because they had to fill in more genetic gaps than the other dinosaurs.
I saw Jurassic Park in the theater in 1993. I was big into dinosaurs as a kid and was totally stoked to see this movie, having read the book. I'm not a sap, but the scene where they come over the hill and show the first dinosaurs got me. I bawled myself stupid! 🤣
You should totally watch Blazing Saddles. You'll bust a gut laughing!!! I've seen that movie easily over 100 times and I still laugh my ass off. I quote something from that movie on the reg.
The young girl, Lex, is played by Ariana Richards in this movie in 1993. Ariana played Mindy in Tremors in 1990 - the girl on the pogo stick.
"the KFC guy" is the brother of David Attenborough of the nature docs we have been watching for 60 yrs. like the Planet Earth series and many more.
As much as I've always loved JP, it annoyed me so much any time they talked about the T-Rex not seeing you when you didn't move. The T-Rex would have no trouble seeing a stationary prey. Now, it is a question as to whether the full grown T-Rex would even bother to eat a human, but that's a whole different story.
Im 2 mins in and the childhood story already got me invested. This is my favorite movie and as a kid, i couldnt watch Robert muldoons raptor encounter
Since you were asking, the guy that played Dennis Nedry is still alive. His name is Wayne Knight and he's also lost a ton of weight
For me this scene has a huge story hole.
Why in the ever living hell would they have a man lift a gate standing on an unsecured transport crate instead of having the transport crate in a locking mechanism and the gate lifting fully automated?
That never made sense to me.
