Welcome to Jurassic Lawsuit! We spared no expense - except all of the expenses we spared.
If you need a website, you should check out Wix! www.wix.com/go/legaleagle I use Wix for my personal website, because I love it.
This week we’re covering the greatest movie of the mid-90s: Jurassic Park. It’s the original dinosaur theme park movie. Ever since watching it as a kid, I always check every room I enter for velociraptor entry points.
I love this movie, but it always seemed like John Hammond would find himself in a world of legal trouble when he got off the Jurassic Park island. Sure, velociraptors are scary, but corporate lawyers are terrifying. Not to mention all the deaths that Dennis Nedry caused. Who is legally responsible for all the death and destruction?
Find out today!
Stay until the end when I tally up how long Dennis Nedry would go to jail and how much money John Hammond would have to pay out to the survivors.

Custom Suits: legaleagle.link/indochino
Ties: fave.co/2ImLY9I
Tie Clips/Bars: amzn.to/2WIQ6EE
Pocket Squares: amzn.to/2UfsKtL
▶ Why Indochino Suits? (50% off Premium Suits + free shipping) [legaleagle.link/indochino]: Off-the-rack suits NEVER fit right. Indochino makes fully custom suits that fit perfectly using any material I want, with all of the options I want. And they cost 1/3rd of what normal suits costs. I’ve purchased them with my own money for years, so I’m thrilled they are now a sponsor.
▶ Why Ties from TheTieBar? (Free shipping on orders over $50) [fave.co/2ImLY9I]: Normal ties are too fat. Skinny ties are too skinny. So these days I only wear ties that are exactly 2.5” wide. They are fashionable without being hipster. You see them in all of my videos. TieBar ties are perfect, come in every color I want, and never cost more than $19.
▶ Why these Tie Clips? [amzn.to/2WIQ6EE]: It’s really hard to find affordable tie clips that are the right size (1.5”), look good, and are great quality. These tie bars are all three. Plus the 3-pack gives a variety of styles. They pair perfectly with 2.5” ties from TheTieBar (above).
▶ Why these Pocket Squares? [amzn.to/2UfsKtL]: I like my pocket squares perfectly, well, square. Like straight-out-of-Mad-Men square. The only way to do that is with a stiffer material that keeps its shape. I’ve exhaustively tried dozens of pocket squares, and these are by far the best. It’s how I get the perfectly flat pocket square you see in my videos.

Ironically, if you read the book, this sort of thing is exactly why the park ISN'T built in the U.S.--to avoid legal fallout.
Donald Dickerson was literally about to comment this 😂
Maybe he'll bring that up when he reviews the book.
yes, but many of the employees were Americans (Holywood casting sure), John Hammond is an American, and the "experts" invited to go to this island were American.
The island is uninhabited Costa Rican territory (meaning it would first be considered there), and then considering the parties in question it could also be reasonable to prosecute this case in the United States. there would be some argument as to what Jurisdiction in the US it would fall, but that would come down to residence of the harmed individual is.
where InGen is a US company, and in the start of Movie 2 is facing legal fallout in the US from the events of movie 1, this implies that the author didn't even try to do research into jurisdiction, extradition, or how laws work in general.
Oh. I thought it wasn't built because dinosaurs are extinct. ;)
It would be ironic if this WAS built in the us but DIDN'T see any legal consequences for the dangerous conditions
Nedry found a loop hole here; you are, in fact, exempt from all liability for your actions if you are killed and eaten by a dilophosaurus.
Natures highest court lol
#audiblelaughter
But, can you call this an actual dilophosaurus? It's DNA is mixed with frogs.
@@RexVergstrong Dilopafrogrus? Dihophosauruus?
You are -- but your estate isn't!
Objecton: The park was constructed on some Island somewhere outside of US legal jurisdiction. Building your plants in third world countries to avoid health and safety or environmental regulations is a time-honered US tradition and is probably legal.
The USA keeping a torture camp outside of the USA and it is perfectly legal so yes, the park on an island in Costa Rica you can do anything.
Overruled: it’s an American company
@@anonymoushuman8443 so ?
@@Zodroo_Tint what do u mean by torture camp? I'm genuinely asking I'm from the US
@@alexiswagner5388 Guantanamo Bay is a US internment camp famous for torturing the people sent there. It is also in Cuba.
Former zookeeper here: we did have hardhats like that, but only for going into cages with raptors.. of course, unlike velociraptors, they attack from above
Actually Velociraptors might have as well. They are not actually pack hunters like Deinonychus or other Raptor-type dinos of more... Jurassic Park Size... but these small dog sized feathery buddies might've pounced on smaller prey from higher vantage points.
also I feel I must add since that among Raptor-likes (Dromeosaurs) there's not really any evidence for social wolf-like pack hunting, though there is evidence of taking down prey too big to be taken down alone, some theorize it might just be situational group hunting such as with Komodo Dragons.. where a bunch of individuals just so happen to swarm on the same prey.
I sat at the back row of a flying eagle demonstration once and it flew uncomfortably close. I mean, it was probably not that close but it was a big eagle and it was disconcerting.
@@harryeast95 I believe it! I've been bombed by smaller hawks (e.g. sharp-shinned) when I got too close to a nest, and that was unsettling enough
Important and noteworthy fact... they have been hard at work CONSTRUCTING this 1st park for a long time and are basically now moving the last of the attractions/animals into their habitats. So the hard hats may very well be a holdover policy that was/is enforced in many areas until they are deemed complete and ready to 'open' to the public. Even Hammond himself points out several things that aren't in their final finished and polished stage where he'll feel comfortable presenting them to the general public.
The primary law that Jurassic Park broke is that they named their park "Jurassic", but featured dinosaurs mainly from the Cretaceous Period.
Jurassic is just such a more iconic and marketable word.
@@airshow406 i would say that this very movie is the reason that we subconsciously think "jurassic" is a more fitting word for the park. i doubt that the word was even a common term that most people knew before 1993. also camp cretaceous takes offense to that
I don’t think it’s just how well known the word is/was. Jurassic just *sounds* better. It’s easier to spell, easier to say and has this striking unique elegance to it that makes it stand out. Even before the movie I would remember it seeming like the most distinctive of the dinosaur eras, and would be mildly disappointed if my favorite dinosaurs weren’t from it.
8 versus 6 isn't that bad. With 1 from the Triassic period.
I agree I can't even spell Cretaceous without looking it up its just easier to sell/say
"We spared no expense"
*Hires one IT guy to write 2 million lines of troll code*
AND not paying him properly, leading to the entire events of the movie
The guy could have been paid a competitive wage and still be tempted by millions of dollars.
@@foxymetroid In the book he is specifically motivated by screwing InGen over because they ripped him off. They gloss over that in the movie.
"Don't get cheap on me, Dodgson. That was Hammond's mistake"
@@bcn1gh7h4wk The only in movie reference to the actual issue Nedry had with InGen
My grandpa (a lawyer) once said about the lawyer in the movie "He was willing to abandon and risk the lives of those kids. I can't take offense to the insults to his character, as he has none."
Exactly. He almost certainly knows that there are huge liability issues with this park and negligence left, right, and center on top of the extreme violation of scientific ethics. If he decides to be the lawyer representing a man who runs his business like that, abandoning children to their fate is unsurprising.
He doesn’t die in the book, in fact he wasn’t even there when the T-Rex breaks out of its enclosure, he had volunteered to stay with Sattler while she examines the sick Stegosaurus, later on he helps Muldoon (who also doesn’t die in the book) round up the dinosaurs.
His character is very different in the book, in a positive sense. He's quite heroic there. Hammond on the other hand is an irredeemable ass in the book who dislikes his grandchildren and abandons them to die. He also dies in the end.
@@BlueUncia I read the book after watching the movie... and could not believe how much of an asshole Hammond was.
As a JP super nerd, I have to mention that Muldoon actually makes a comment to Hammond when the group goes to see the sick Triceratops, "How many times do I have to tell you, we need locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors!"
So yeah. You could absolutely add that to the negligence claims
Exactly. You've got a zoological professional telling you that locking mechanisms for a vehicle that's driving by deadly animals are needed. He's an animal wrangler so would know what they're capable of. Don't ignore his advice
Not to mention the doors where able to open when the vehicles were moving. Ignoring the dinosaurs people are stupid enough to try and get out while the vehicle is moving. That would lead to someone getting run over.
This bit always confused me as a kid because car locks have probably been standard on vehicles for over 100 years. Why were the locks even an oversight on their part when the vehicles should’ve already had them? The same goes for the doors themselves even being able to get opened by the passengers. All the doors should’ve included some kind of child safety locks so they could only be opened by the park employees to let them out once the ride was over.
What if a dinosaur rolled a car over or a vehicle fire or crash happened
How would the passengers get out?
@@RadioMan2023 I see your point there… The vehicles obviously didn’t have any kind of safety feature like their own version of an OnStar alert system to tell the security room when a vehicle’s been in a crash - heck no air bags ever deploy either when the T-Rex flips the truck over or during the tree scene later!

@@GravesRWFiA lol yes
Also on the mainland... so, ANOTHER point against him setting up in Orlando.
i mean to be fair, orlando is pretty safe from hurricanes. they usually just get some flooding.
Calling Jurassic Park "unsafe working conditions" is the understatement of the year.
Yeah it's literally the point of the movie
Well, the park wasn’t finished, but I see your point
@@darkknight2481if the park wasn’t finished, then Hammond would have even worse negligence fines, because he should’ve known that the park was not finished and he still let people in
Fun fact: The majority of fossils on display are foam casts. That's the reason the T. rex display started to buckle. If you don’t see metal scaffolding holding the fossils, the display is a replica.
They would never hang a real fossil up in a museum, because they would be too heavy to hang up, and are impossible to repair once damaged/broken, and are all one of a kind and irreplaceable, so they wouldn't risk it, at least for large ones. Maybe small ones they could put in one of those glass cases they put on walls, like small trilobites or something, they might put out actual fossils of.
Still gross negligence
@@Aaa-vp6ug His reasoning lacked the fact that the displays were casts. He was under the assumption that they were real fossils and weighed hundreds of pounds. "The fact that they are falling apart is more evidence of negligence". Those supports were never supposed to carry more weight than the casts. With this additional info, I think a good lawyer could make a good argument in defense of the park.
Those supports should have been designed to carry more than the weight of the fossil replicas because if people had to work on and around them they would need to support that weight too.
@@WinVistenactually museums will put real dinosaur bones on display sometimes. The dinosaur center in Wyoming has real dino bones mounted in their reconstructions
Hammond: "We spared no expense"
LegalEagle: Proceeds to show all the different ways expenses were spared
That’s made super obvious in the book. Hammond was unambiguously a bad guy in the book who cut costs at the expense of health and safety despite his charming exterior.
Matrim42 that’s why he gets killed in the book
They only hired one software engineer, had the circuit breakers halfway across the island from the control room and used Ford Explorers for the tour.
And the funny thing is, the “blood sucking lawyer” was actually kind of a hero in the books. who frequently kept questioning Hammond on all of the bs he was doing and actually risked his life to save the children when the t-Rex attacked. Oh and I do believe he actually survives. It’s like the only time I’ve see where a Lawyer is portrayed positively
@@alexmansfield3268 There's Daredevil.
OSHA "You can't have loaded guns on the work sight"
Costa Rica "You have no power here"
“Most zoos probably don’t have loaded guns”
Me: most zoos don’t have giant ferocious lizards that could destroy buildings and swallow people whole if they wanted to
Beat me to it.
@@unoriginal1562
No. Not reptiles. But mammals.
@@unoriginal1562 Elephants can and do destroy buildings and kill lots of people.
@@mikem2849 Yeah, and elephants are carnivores that can swallow a man whole either.
Objection: the hard hats would actually be mandated due to there being objects being lifted over the heads of other workers in the area (gate/guns) as well as the fact that the person on top of the container themselves are a drop hazard. However being the 90's not sure about this specifically but they are not wearing high visibility vests/jackets they are only wearing a standard rain coat that happens to be yellow but not reflective
Also, the helmets are irrelevant from an animal keeping perspective, as there is no headgear specified or required during protected contact (e.g., when a barrier is between animal and keeper) or during no contact care. In addition, OSHA (assuming there is jurisdiction because the film takes place in Costa Rica, so that's questionable) does not have specific workplace safety standards for animal care specialists beyond what is specified in general regulations for a safe working environment. The main source of standards is the AZA; however, most facilities exhibiting animals in the US are not AZA accredited, and I don't think the AZA accredits facilities that care for bio-engineered creatures brought back to life 65 million years after extinction 🙂
The shooters in the tower are wearing them, they don't need them for the overhead load, so it's just standard wear for them.
Jurassic Park is the prime example of why you never go cheap on your IT department.
Ironically, the book would present JP as an example of why you shouldn't black mail people into working for you. In the book, Nedry had been hired to setup the computer system for the park, but Hammond gave him the wrong specs and the system that Nedry setup was totally incapable of meeting the demands of the park, but did meet the requirements Hammond gave him. Hammond tried to strong arm Nedry into "fixing the system" (IE: Do more work then he contracted him for with out being paid for it) and Nedry told him no. In response Hammond began harassing and threatening Nedry's other clients to stop doing business with him as a means to force Nedry to work for free.
So..... they spared an expense
Every time he said “bad actor” I thought he was throwing shade at Wayne Knight. Didn’t realize it was a legal term 😂😂😂
Yes doesn't it mean that they are a bad liar?
@@ratsmacker676 i believe it means the accused, or the suspect. Could be wrong though, as i have precisely zero legal experience

That makes me sad
Old meme is old.
He didn't say zoo employees have no access to guns, just that he didn't think employees were generally permitted to walk around armed with loaded M-16s and cattle prods.
@@jkishhabi
But they weren't just walking around with assault rifles like it was any other day on the job. They were transporting a deadly velociraptor.
Just like prison COs don't walk around wearing riot gear and wielding a riot shield during normal work duties, but they will if they need to transport or deal with a combative, violent inmate that will attack the COs the second their cell door is opened.
Any zoo that keeps large predators is legally obligated (by EXTENSIVE precedent) to have some means of quickly culling one of their animals if it attempts to escape or is actively attacking somebody. Otherwise they'll be found criminally negligent if somebody is killed by an animal; aside from the civil liability, they'll lose their license to keep dangerous animals, usually resulting in a "fire sale" of large dangerous retiree predators with the healthiest being sold/donated and the rest being euthanized. If it takes shooting one animal to save the rest from that, you do it.
In my youth I volunteered at a small rescue center for former circus and carnival animals (bears and tigers, mostly). It was the most snowflake hippy-dippy 99% female staffed place you'd ever visit, but there were two hardcore rules: nobody ever touches the animals unless they're sedated (instant termination if violated), and there's always one person on duty at all times who has the key to the arms locker and the training/willingness to kill one of the animals in order to stop an attack or prevent an escape. As I recall the weapon in question was a 12-gauge shotgun loaded with slugs.
Not that I'd have put too much stock in the staff's marksmanship if a circus bear was eating some kid's face (the county police were much better shots and were WELL aware we had big predators on site) but the INTENT and the CAPABILITY was clearly there, and thus the legal liability was satisfied.
Objection: Arnold and Muldoon did not die due to Nedry's direct actions. When he deactivated the park's power in general, it is specifically mentioned in the movie that he did not deactivate the power to the raptor paddock. The raptors didn't escape until Hammond's effort to restore power (over Arnold's objections) resulted in a total power loss throughout the park, shutting down the raptor paddocks.
Yup and they should’ve realized that and had 3 people with AKs surrounding it
@@DMalltheway aks would be useless there
@@nephite467 Not at all, when they see the raptors picking the fence they shoot to scare them
@@nephite467 a pistol was enough to put down a raptor and nearly kill it (had it not received medical attention) in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, I dont see how these raptors would survive an ak
@@denisucuuu that was one raptor though not several that’s the diffrence
Objection! You neglected to mention Hammond's negligence in hiring a single programmer for all of the park's mission-critical software. Responsible software development shops have coder peer reviews, QA tests, and penetration tests that might have prevented Nedry's malicious software from being deployed
Maybe they do NOW - this was 30 years ago when people were still using DOS
@@clarenceartman7487 Actually, Jurassic Park ran on IRIX, a special distribution of UNIX SVR 3 made by Silicon Graphics to harness the power of the MIPS workstations they made.
When Lex was at the computer, playing with the 3D file manager, she literally says "This is a UNIX system. I know this."
Wasn´t the point that this all happend as most of the workers in the park are on the main land for vacation? So we don´t really know how many programmers they had.. Nedry had planed to be there allone for his plan to work after all...
@@BlackXIV In the movie, at least, it's heavily implied by the interaction between Nedry and Hammond. Nedry talks about writing millions of lines of code and complains he's not paid enough, and Hammond says "our lives are in your hands". We don't see any other coders through the entire course of the movie (Mr. Arnold being a sysadmin)
Book is different. In the book Nedry had a programming company working on it, but Hammond refused to provide accurate information for Nedry's company in their initial build. Then Hammond proceeded to blackmail Nedry into fixing it for free after it broke eventhough the issues were all Hammonds fault.
Objection 01:50 - Hard hats. They are working in vicinity of a crane (not shown in this scene, but it is there and lowered cow in same compound later in movie). This alone would justify. That said you could argue head height objects in vicinty (i.e. raised Hilo tines), also it possible the fence at top of compound (shown in this scene and at aforementioned feeding scene) is electrified.
OSHA: 29 CFR 1910.135 governs hard hat requirements for general industry workers
When objects or debris might fall from above and strike workers on the head
When employees may strike their heads against fixed objects, like supports, beams, or other equipment
When there is the possibility that workers’ heads will make contact with electrical hazards
Keep Eagling!
Touche. Sustained!
Seems like the fact that the raptor container is being transported to the pen via forklift also would justify hardhats.
but hardhats aren't going to protect someone from getting eaten by a raptor
they probably should've had some kind of armor to wear instead of going ham on the guns
@@grahamcracking5056 to begin with, their security, the cages, just everything engineering wise is horrendous. No redundant systems, no locking mechanism... nothing.
Well played sir.
Hammond: We spared no expense

There's no way in hell you're telling me Timmy (and maybe even Lex) couldn't have fit through the gaps in the fence without having to climb over it.
@flamingsprite savage...
Thank you!! I've always thought that. We can clearly see Timmy can fit through the gap.
@@mamafox6111 less suspenseful though lol
The fences have smaller wire at the base for smaller dinosaurs
@@Matt_History I'm talking fitting through even that. They were basically split in half from some smaller wire. Kids are unbelievable agile when it comes to stuff like that. They're like cats lol.
OBJECTION: 14:44 - The electricity for the fence to keep the T-Rex inside wasn't out because of the storm, it was disabled by an act of sabotage from Ned, who had hacked the system in order to disable security measures along his escape route.
The Park Staff and it's owner couldn't have anticipated an act of sabotage and corporate espionage by one of their own. Even if they DID have a secondary fence or a back-up generator, it would have been disabled by Ned without authorization, and the result would have been the same.
That was my thinking. The damage to the parks systems was so severe they had to take everything down and restart it. I think if backup generators were the second line of defense, a decent lawyer could probably argue that away.
I was about to comment the same thing. It goes a little more in depth in the book, but in the movie Muldoon specifically asks,
"The raptor fences aren't out, are they?" To which Arnold responds, "No, they're still on". This is a good demonstration that the outages were the result of selection and not random chance. It doesn't matter how many back-up systems, redundancies, and fail-safes you have if the main guy in charge of the computer systems running the park (Nedry) bypasses and disables them all. If I were Hammond's lawyer, I would argue the fences going down and the animals getting out should be tacked onto Nedry's case, not Hammond's.
I kind of have to argue that sabotage should have been a foreseeable issue because it’s a DINOSAUR PARK. Having such a unique property, they should have been expecting some kind of espionage by another company to do the exact thing Nedry was attempting. If Nedry had been successful, that company would be reverse engineering the embryos and likely starting up their own kind of dinosaur attraction. Especially considering Hammond DID in fact “spare an expense” by apparently not paying Nedry enough - and their argument looked pretty heated to me, so if Hammond hasn’t been so blindly enthusiastic about the park, he should’ve realized sooner that Nedry might attempt some kind of sabotage.
Going into the book as well as the movie to explain this one, but they did have systems in place to prevent this kind of thing. they had doors that required specific security clearance levels, security cameras, and key tracing on the computers to keep track of what the operators were doing. The book even states that when he tried to turn off key checks and safeties, the OS wouldn't let him which is how the others were able to trace Nedry's actions. The book even emplies that had Nedry not had the proper clearances when he tried to turn those systems off, an alarm would have been raised instead of the system just thinking he was making a series of mistakes. Because Nedry had high enough clearence to access admin levels on the computers, he was able to create and install a program that would allow him to affect the code that ran certain processes in the park to enact his plan. You have a good point in regards to low level workers and outside actors, but no one can really forsee THE head guy in charge of running and maintaining the computer systems to engage in corporate espionage.
@@Dark_Mishra Nedrey wasn't in financial trouble because he wasn't paid enough. He was in trouble because he was a gambler
Fun fact: there was a real hurricane that hit the filming set during the movie and some footage of the storm is actually real that they filmed while hunkering in their hotel.

E4EHCO There's a difference between a glorified morning jog and figuring out whether or not somebody's life will be effectively (or literally) over.
The difference in elevation would probably be most effective since it’s believed that Tyrannosaurus Rex was incapable of climbing due to its small arms and massive heavy body.
@@nordoceltic7225 Course?
Kinda like the moat that mysteriously appears after the trex is already out
Plus, a pit wou.d not be impossible to dig! Humanity has dug larger and deeper pits than what would be required to contain a T-Rex. It would cost a lot, but you have a MONOPOLY in dinosaur zoos. You can take out a loan, pay for the digging costs and then pay back the loan with the money you make from HAVING PEOPLE WATCH A LITERAL T-REX.
Its standard practice, for any zoo or exotic animal reserve with large carnivorous animals is to have a shoot gun and tranquilizer stored in two separate locations with both available at each location
True but we're talking dinosaurs here? Would they have enough time to get the tranqs before the dinosaur escaped the facility.. or theme park or the dinosaur could kill the guy or girl before they time to shoot the animal..

19:04 The fences are clearly labeled to be high voltage. With signage at normal human sight range. As shown before they started climbing the fence in that scene. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that clearly posting signs is, for the time, considered legal and a proper defense against humans touching the fence. Coupled with the fact that the fences are raised to such a height, and back far enough that the characters in that scene had to climb up onto a concrete slab, then had enough room to comfortably stand back from the fence and toss a stick at it(the signs told them it would be electrified, so they had to test). Putting the fences far enough back on the slab that one would have to actively climb up to touch it. I believe in this scene, adequate protection against humans touching the fence has been observed. However, locking the car doors would add an extra layer to that protection.
The park is still legally pretty screwed. Just a small nit.
As a presumably sensible adult with the slightest hint of critical thinking, do you honestly think a child or adolescent is going to pay attention to those signs? We clearly see that the boy can climb up the slab and onto the fence. Any judge or jury would still throw the book at the park for failing to take more preventative measures than "pretty please".
Also, accidents happen
What if an adult who read the sign tripped over and fell on it
You're partly right. In fact, a similar thing has been discussed on this channel regarding similar situations. There's definetly a responsibility, up to a point, to protect people from their own stupidity, and in case that fails, their stupidity will be considered in favour of the people who were negligent, if we assume their negligence. It's usually a percentage, like 50/50 or 20/80 and vice versa. In this case, in my memory, the signs were hanging on the fence directly and were far apart from each other, thus hard to see before it's too late. There should've been non-electrical fences and signs blocking the way to the proper fences. Bare minimum precautions aren't proper precautions, so they add to the negligence.
@@Lars6138 However, proper precautions were made. There are in an area of the park not normally accessible to the public. That is an internal paddock boundary fence between two enclosures. Which means, they had to, at minimum, get though one other fence to get there. Like, the tyrannosaur fence from earlier. But again, while that exact section of fence is covered, the rest of the park is legally screwed. And you're right, there is a whole lot of negligence on the part of the park. My comment though was only about that particular segment.
The Negligence of Hammond is also the fact that he entrust the whole park system to one guy and you didn't pay him enough to be loyal.
This whole thing won't happen if you employed more people like nedry or just gave him what he wants.
aka dont underpay qualified people and dont outsource jobs.
To be fair, it is stated by Hammond that Nedry’s financial problems were self-inflicted, especially since Nedry specifically bid for his pay. He should have bid higher if he wasn’t happy with his payment. That being said, Hammond should definitely not have entrusted the system to one IT guy.
@@speedracer2008 Right. It's not the employer's fault the employer didn't pay more despite having plenty of money to do so. It's the employee's fault for not asking for more.
Just like it's the employee's fault for having expenses, right?
If you have billions of dollars, saying it's the employee's fault for not having enough money is pathetic.
@@ChristophBrinkmann Well, Hammond can’t put all of his money to paying Nedry, plus, given how greedy Nedry is, he’d still probably be unsatisfied with the money given. Not to mention that, if Nedry is spending money recklessly, which wouldn’t be too out of character for him, it’s not Hammond’s responsibility to give him more money to compensate him. It’s Nedry’s responsibility to control his spending.
That’s in the book, in the movie he was greedy.

"Okay, so the T-Rex has broken out of it's padic..."

"Here we have a bad actor..."
I totally thought you were talking about Wayne Knight's performance before you clarified you were talking about his bad acts. lol
Yeah, I thought damn he's calling out my boy Newman like that.
Same here. I was going to object to his accusation of Wayne Knight being a bad actor. He was great. Funny, evil, terrible at lying, and he died a pretty cool death, even if we didn't get to see it.
Jurassic Park and Seinfeld made Wayne Knight one of the actors I hated most in the nineties purely because I only saw him playing characters I despised. I was a little kid at the time and couldn't fathom at the time that he might not be as much of a douche in real life as those two characters he played
Why didn't they just write Dr Wu as the thief ? Since Dr Wu wouldn't shut down anything, he would just use his access code to gain access to the cold storage unit.
@@sandernielsen8018 Out of universe, probably because it would have worked, and then it'd be a weird industrial espionage case instead of a dramatic dinosaur zoo escape.
In universe, as mentioned above, Nedry was resentful of what he viewed as inadequate compensation for his (quite extensive) work, and thus, readily agreed to assist Ingen's rivals in stealing the samples.
Dr Wu (or any other member of the science staff) presumably was not willing to make the same deal. Which makes sense, he's the one that created the dinosaurs in the first place, and the rival group apparently didn't have the willingness or resources to... hire him to do the same thing.
In the book, the Lawyer is the hero that saves almost everyone. He’s also described as muscular and handsome. They removed that character from the movie and called the Ed Regis the Lawyer.
well "hero" may be a bit of an exaggeration, but he definitely wasn't the cowardly short-sighted pin-head we see in the movie. I mean Grant did have to spell it out for him why they needed to survey the island to figure out how many dinosaurs were actually there instead of just carpet bombing it and calling it a day.
20:50 Objection: The skeletons only buckled and fell apart when the Velociraptor landed an attack on them. The Jurassic Park raptors weigh 330 IBS and with their strength they could feasible add enough stress to the display. And the architects having these displays designed with the idea of these dinosaurs being contained, they only created a support structure most likely seen in a common museum.
Yeah, but those fossils are thousands of pounds at the very least. If the suspension cables can't handle a few hundred more, then it's still a shit design that'd see them pegged for negligence.
@@Aredel see them what now?
@@Aredel why do you assume these are real fossils? It's universal practice to never use real fossils because of how fragile they are.
@@Matt_History even if they are fake (which they likely are), the point still stands. Suspension cables shouldn’t immediately snap the minute they’re tested by the addition of a few children and one adult when they’re already holding up that much weight. That’s still a lawsuit waiting to happen.

They baked it, too; no? Or smeared it with lemon juice or something.
@@jwhippet8313 they heated it with blow dryers and rubbed lemon juice on it
@Michael Orme I know, I watched the movie. There's a few obvious reasons why they did that
Objection: There were back-up generators for the electric fences. Nedry disabled the automatic back-up system so that he could bypass security. The T-Rex escaping was wholly Nedry's fault for disabling both primary and secondary safety features.
A storm could easily wipe out power regardless of backup generators in a park that size. The question could also fall on why there was only one user with full control of park systems who constantly had money problems and was a nepotism hire.
As I remember it there was also a light and a buzzer to warm of fence being powered up, much like a conveyor belt.
But if you remember from the Lost World we learn that Hammond ran everything on geothermal power
@@richardarriaga6271 well alot of Jurassic Park was also ran on geothermal power namely from the volcano Mount Sibo located in the north of Isla Nublar.
And no,this isn't just a new era Jurassic World addition either
I was thinking along this line as well but a good secondary backup system does not rely on the same mechanics (electric fence). The backup should have been something that does not rely on Electricity. It is not hard to see that power is a very real weak point in this facility.
Objection: Adding to the previous damages, everyone is reminded that John Hammond himself was the guardian of his two grandchildren during their visit. Would this be grounds for child endangerment?
Doubt it because he was basically letting them ride a theme park ride with an adult
23:20 “Hammond & The Park”
Gennaro actually mentions early in the movie (at the Amber dig site) that “we’re facing a $20million lawsuit from the family of that [park employee eaten by the raptor at the start of the movie] worker…”
So it’d be a higher total, most likely.
One crime everyone overlooks is when Nedrey places the pile of shaving cream on top of a piece of cherry pie so that it looks like whipped cream and leaves it sitting on the table. This is a deliberate and malicious act and could lead to anything from someone eating the pie and spitting it out, to a person vomiting and suing the restaurateur for medical damages.
I think it's safe to assume all the gathered food was for Nedrey. And not just because he's fat, but because he's currently eating some of the food when what's his face walks up.
@@SomethingScotty I wanna say Dotson? Or Dawson?
@@GamingWithHajimemes i think its spelled Dodgeson
@@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly You're probably right there.
Shaving cream is not meant to be eaten, but I doubt it's going to be toxic, at least not to most people, given that it's a product so often used on the face and accidental ingestion is probably easy to do. So manufacturers would want to be careful with that.
In the books The Lawyer is such an amazing bad ass character, Hes also way more worried about the safety of the park and fends up a raptor with his bare hands and survives the book. It's a shame what happened to him in the second book
I hated how it was dysentery of all thing.
Didn’t he even ride out with Muldoon to hunt raptors with a rocket launcher?
@@BuddyMayfieldFishBuddy no you are mistaken. The character in the book that peed himself and left the kids, was Ed regis. That was not the lawyer. The lawyer in the book was not with them during the T-Rex breakout. In the movie, they combined Ed Regis and gennaro the lawyer. He was much much more like Ed Regus in the movie but he had the job of the lawyer gennaro and the name. So the original poster here is correct in his statement. You are just thinking of the wrong character.
@@BuddyMayfieldFishBuddy that was Ed Regis not the lawyer. Go actually read the book before u talk.
Gennero in the book was definitely one of the heroes and it makes no sense for him in the movie to suddenly see dollar signs when he sees the park’s technology in action. Gennero had no financial stake in Ingen. His job was to represent Ingen’s capital investors who were worried about Jurassic Park’s stability and safety and he should have been expected to maintain a skeptical demeanor while investigating potential problems. Furthermore, I would have expected him to bring a small team of independent engineers to assist with his investigation.
If I recall correctly, in the book the worker injuries and increasing legal scrutiny both from investors and the US and Costa Rican governments was precisely what prompted Hammond to bring in the experts (Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm, plus the character of Gennaro as the lawyer for the investors; combined with Regis for the movie) to declare the park "safe", and practically one of the first observations Sattler makes is that they put poisonous plants next to the swimming pool. The other characters (except Hammond) often express apprehension at the product they've created. Muldoon specifically states at least twice that he'd made specific safety recommendations (among them "kill all the velociraptors") that Hammond had ignored.
Fun fact: in the original book the scene with the little girl getting attacked by dinos on a secluded beach is the inciting incident for why the lawyer and other experts were even brought out-those little guys made it to the MAINLAND and were attacking Costa Rican children for MONTHS + more than that one Costa Rican worker got maimed by velociraptors. But it took a white tourist family raising a fuss before Jurassic Park was finally investigated vs Hammond bullying everyone with his own team of lawyers and hush money. The racist undertones with Hammond even picking this location and how the local population getting injured or even killed is…pretty blatant. Oh yeah, and classist too. Book!Hammond intentionally has this whole thing set up so that only the richest families in the world can afford to bring their children there. And everyone immediately feels sick when he basically uses his own grandchildren to prove the “safety” of his park despite the pretty damning allegations he’s already facing
-honestly Hammond getting eaten by the same tiny dinos who’ve been terrorizing mainland Costa Rica for months as the final death is SO satisfying. It is the singular most ironic and undignified death in the whole book and he deserved every bit of that, especially as he blames everyone else for his own failure seconds before twisting his ankle and getting mauled.-
The earlier attacks in the book always puzzled me. Like I can believe the doctor for the little girl dismissing her description of a Compy as a particularly large bassalisk lizard... but what about the utility worker who was outright killed? Shy of something like a Jaguar what has claws that do that sort of damage? And if it was believed to be a wild cat of some form... why wouldn't that be cause for alarm too?
But yeah, the Character of Hammond in the book and the movie... like they share a name and that's about it. I'm not exactly a fan of the movie version, but I didn't hate him. The book... I was ready to jump into the book, start dumping buckets of BBQ sauce on the bastard while screaming "Hey Rexy! Dinner! Come and get it!"
4:55 Nedry is also guilty of food adulteration. He contaminated someone's slice of pie with shaving cream.

I love the love the bit about the electric fence:
“is it possible that the fence won’t be electrified 100% of the time. Yes!” And the text on the side saying “have you ever been on an island” because it doesn’t even have to be on an island for the fence to cut out. I live on a farm and we have electric fencing running along our basic fencing, it cuts out during a moderate wind/rain storm or if something is knocked against it. The difference is our horses and cows aren’t likely to eat us if they get out!
Objection: the T rex paddock did have concrete moats (thats what the car, lex, tim and grant end up in when escaping the t rex) however as the park wasn't open to the public yet it was still under construction hammond discusses this in the beginning with one of the other characters in the control room

Fun fact, the “tropical storm” was a real hurricane, Hurricane Iniki, that happened on Kauai in 1992 that hit the island during the production of the film. Some of the footage is actual footage of the storm, though for obvious safety reasons, none of the scenes involving the actors are during the storm.
In fact, the film crew including Spielberg were part of the initial relief for the island after the storm had passes.
There were actually redundancies in the electric fence power, but Nedry turned them all off so he could move freely accross the island. That's why the raptor fences were still on until they reset the system. They probably should have put the generator controlls closer to the control room though, rather than on the other side of all the intelligent murderous dinosaurs that were actively testing the fences for weakness.
"How many times have i said we needed LOCKING MECHANISMS ON THE VEHICLE DOORS!"
-Robert Muldoon, 1993
I thought for sure he was going to include that clip when talking about the fences.
It's like he knew this video would happen.
I was surprised he didn't mention that.
But then they’d get sued for locking people in in an emergency
In the closeup of the T-Rex giving the girl the stink eye with the flashlight, you can see the stem of the door lock sticking up.
"I don't feel this is an accurate portrayal of attorneys." Well to be fair, in the books Gennaro (the lawyer) wasn't the one that ran and left the kids in the car. It was another character named Ed Regis that was cut from the movie who's mostly cowardly acts (and to a certain extent his death) are given to Gennaro who in the book not only survives, but is actually a pretty good and decently likeable character.
He was also a badass who fought off an (admitedly, injured) raptor while unarmed and managed to escape.

@@christopherbetancourt4643 And then was promptly retconned alive in the sequel.
I'll never understand how this movie gets away with seeing the T-Rex on the opposite side of the fence, but as soon as the car is knocked into the enclosure, it's a 100ft drop.
There's an area where the Rex can walk up to be closer to the fence, but along most of the fence is that massive drop. She moves the car closer to that drop when she is attacking the vehicle, this is why it falls down.
Objection: when he placed his handful of shaving cream on the food on someone else's table he committed a 2nd degree felony for "food tampering" which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.
Um, wouldn't Nedry also be responsible for poisoning whomever eats that pie he contaminated with shaving cream?
it has to be illegal, i really want to know what the crime would be though?!?
MrEddiyOwen Product tampering.
it wouldnt poison anyone, just give a stomachache at most, and that if the person actually ingested the stuff, which is unlikely since anyone putting the cream in their mouth would immediately taste and spit it out. Anyway, it still probably counts as something illegal
@@brunohommerding3416 Also it looked to me like the food had already been sold and they simply decided against eating it leaving it abandoned on the table. Pretty sure there is no duty to ensure food you abandon is safe for anyone to eat, now if you were to explicitly represent that the food was safe for consumption or perhaps implicitly represent the same by acting in a way that would cause a reasonable person to believe this was the case (returning the food to a buffet table or similar) I doubt this would apply. There are after all inherent risks in consuming someone else's food waste that and even waste is technically still property in most jurisdictions so taking it without permission is itself theft courts tend to frown on thieves later complaining the thing they stole caused them harm. So I would have thought that by either of these rationales this would not be an issue here there is no evidence of intent to set a trap here so I don't see product tampering or similar applying here, if someone were to get sick stealing food abandoned by the previous customer I think they would be on their own there.
Thanks, Newman!
Objection #1 - Having worked at a zoological facility, we did indeed have loaded weapons when moving dangerous animals. Two trained staff were armed with shotguns while moving the polar bears and escorted them to and from their enclosure on the rare occasions they had to be relocated. This was done in the event they escaped and posed a threat to human life, luckily such event never happened during my time there.
Objection #2 - Nedry didn't overstep his access limits. As sole programmer and system admin it was his responsibility to access all of the Jurassic Park computer systems.
Objection #3 - Back-up power systems were in place to maintain the carnivore paddocks fences, however as Nedry was taking a shortcut through that area and wanted to disable the cameras and locks, he shut down everything.
Objection #4 - Isla Nublar is located in Costa Rican waters and thus is not subject to OSHA or the USA legal system. Their courts follow napoleonic code, not the common law you are so versed in.
"Your Honor, can I fire my attorney? I found a better one."
In addition I really wouldn't be surprised people in the exact situation were required by their employer to wear hard hats.
Sorry, but Objection #4 is overruled, as InGen is based in the US and therefore subject to US laws
@@DavidbarZeus1 You would be correct if Isla Nublar had been leased by InGen, however Isla Nublar was leased and operated by the Hammond Foundation. InGen inherited the island after Mr. Hammond's death (Novel)/ removal from the company (Film). The Hammond Foundation folded after the incident, and so an extraterritorial jurisdiction hearing would have to be held to attempt to prosecute Mr. Hammond in the US. His death or poor health depending on if we're following the book or movie would further complicate this process.
costa rica has a progressive labor code.
In the sequel movie: They reveal they all signed NDA's before going to the island and were offered a "generous" offer to stay quiet. Malcolm refused it. InGen (the company that created Jurassic Park) screws him over pretty bad.

As an ex-zookeeper, Tim is absolutely dead after touching that fence. The amount of power you have to put through an electric fence for a rhino is enough to knock an adult human back, and the amount of electricity in an electric fence scales with the size and the attitude of the animal (for instance rhinos need a higher voltage fence than an equivalent animal their size due to them being easy to aggravate and having a "charge first ask questions later" approach). So I would hate to imagine the voltage a fence that has to hold T-rex, sauropods and triceratops would have to put out. Definitely enough to kill a kid though...
Edit: incidentally the elevation change mentioned is considered one of the safest way to keep large non-climbing animals, as it is much less likely to go wrong and release dangerous animals (but with a stand-off barrier to prevent people from falling in).
I've always said this. No way that he survived enough voltage to keep a t-rex from escaping.
That kid is vapor.
Why'd they even climb the fence? Cinema sins pointed out the fence ended a short distance away from where they climbed. But you're right, Tim was toast.
Exactly!!! The fact that Grant performs CPR on Tim and somehow brings him back always bugs me too. CPR, though important, simply isn't enough. In reality, you need to shock the person to "restart" their heart and there was no AED nearby, so honestly, Tim would have been dead.
@@davidthemarineveteran4589 Tim could have squeezed through the fence, too.
"When I needed a website to help law students, whish for the record contains no dinosaurs-"
You mean to tell me that there is no Dino Lawyer?! GaSp
Objection (kind of): The storm has absolutely nothing to do with the bad stuff that happens. The dinosaurs break out because Nedrey shuts down all the electrical systems, so even if the circumstances for responsibility on Hammond because he built in a hurricane popular area exist, he’s not responsible for it, as the storm itself actually didn’t produce problems
If you mean the recent ones, I object to the whole thing. Having them made should've been a case of criminal negligence.
Objection: Hammond at one point asks Mr. Arnold why the backup generators haven't come on. Nedrey hacked those as well.
Tbh, the backup generators need to be so reliable that they probably shouldn't have anything hackable, but it definitely shifts more blame towards nedry and away from jp
@@robbiejames1540 nothing computer controlled in unhackable when you are on the inside. If you have local access you own the system. Nedry had admin privileges in a system he was coding. No reasonable person would expect their lead coder to sabotage the entire system like nedry did. So the objection is a good point. Just like the fact at the beginning of the movie them mention a system of moats being in place for safety. In the car scene there is clearly a very deep moat between the rex and the cars. So how did the rex get there? did it fly? did it jump 2 times is body length? With the exception of the worker at the beginning Hammonds liability seemed to be very minor. After all who would foresee, his own staff systematically dismantling all the security at the park in the way Nedry did?
@@drathscion
I was more meaning that it shouldn't be computer controlled, and instead use maybe a couple of resistors and a transistor or something to detect power failure. Nedry should not have clearance to enter the generator room, so sabotage should be difficult. While I agree that no one could expect or fully mitigate for the consequences of the lead programmer going against you, there really should have been a small team for something that large, who might have picked up on his actions and been able to prevent or undo them.
I think that if you can have a disgruntled employee unleash deadly animals to attack people in your park, you have a pretty freaking severe security issue, number one rule in IT security is you never ever place too much in one persons hands, nedry shouldn’t have access to both the generators and the backup generators.
And miss me with that “he did a hack on it.” The generators and the backups should have been segmented and air-gapped and triple redundant as they were responsible for “dinosaurs not eating people”
Two is one and one is none. My expert opinion says Hammond was negligent in his IT infrastructure.
Was going to post and say this. There are backups and backups to the backups. Nedrey shut it all off.

@@AdmiralBison true. But they didnt know that particular fact way back in the 90s.
@@KaylaMarie_ By that logic wolves and crocodiles don't hunt because they don't have powerful front legs that can grab and rip apart their prey like a cat. Some predators only use their mouths and a t-rex's jaw seems overkill for scavenging, unless it usually is used for fighting to steal other's killings - but if it can fight off other predators we loop back around to it being able to hunt and kill prey. Also given the size of the t-rex, it seems implausible that it would survive mostly off of scavenging without fighting off other predators for their prey. Think of how many mostly eaten carcasses it would have to find in order to sustain itself.
to be fair, if you are moving an animal that can kill you in many unspeakably brutal ways then it makes sense to have all the firepower you can get in case something goes wrong.
8:30 Suppose this were "biological curiosity park" and the attractions were dangerous pathogens. I feel like if these pathogens got released by a hurricane because the facility were located near Costa Rica, the resulting damage due to "an act of god" should not be blameless on the part of the people who made the facility. The owners and operators knew the stuff they were making was dangerous if released, and put their facility in a place where it would probably be hit by a hurricane every year, and did not build a facility that could withstand category 5 hurricanes. That screams negligence to me, and the "could not be foreseen" part especially doesn't hold up here.
An earthquake that devastates a town nowhere near a fault line, I could understand. Build a facility loaded with lethal animals, some of which can fly or swim, and have them be released the moment a large storm hits, and locate the facility in one of the most hurricane prone areas of the entire world? Surely you could win this argument in court and get a judgment in favor of the victims.... otherwise the law is pretty bad.
"That seems like a terribly designed system" ....... Jurassic Park in a nutshell lol

To the board members: “Some expense was spared.”

2) spent millions on recreating dinosaurs but wouldn’t drop a few thousand for containers to move the animals that properly locked into place and had automated open/close mechanisms so some poor handler wouldn’t have to be precariously perched on top to lift the gate
3) made no allowance for the fences to not be electrified in a region known for hurricanes where even if the power weren’t knocked out the likelihood of them having to turn the fences off was high due to either torrential downpour or simply trees/branches being blown into the fences
4) did not hire a knowledgable paleontologist with museum experience to design skeleton display or to make sure poisonous plants were kept beyond the reach of small children/pets
5) used GPS-based land rover auto-drive systems instead of preprogrammed courses that were dependent on nothing outside the vehicle in a hurricane zone
6) set system to fail-safe with doors unlocked in a park with numerous aggressive intelligent carnivores
7) put electrical subsystems in it’s own building without building a maintenance tunnel to get there
8) no visible pipes/cables above ground and no tunnel means the utilities were buried prolonging any downtime while they dig them up to fix a problem
9) I think the question must be asked, how much did Hammond insure this park for?
@@iamme4552 love the idea of pets also visiting Jurassic Park 😂 my parents have to chaperone their dog in their suburban backyard because of coyotes but absolutely Hammond would allow pets, for a surcharge 👏
To be fair, in the book the system was much better designed. Still critically flawed but not to the same extent as in the movie. For example, in the book there actually was an entire system of moats criss crossing though the entire island that kept most of the dinosaurs contained within their enclosures. The problem was that moat system was also used as major transportation routes and the veloceraptors managed to get into the moat system thus gaining almost unrestricted acces to the entire island. There also was a huge wall aroujnd almost the entire circumference of the island. The problem there was that there was an undiscovered cave that created a passage underneath the wall to the beach. And that passage was actually what the veloceraptors used to get onto a ship leaving the island.
In the words of GoldenTusk's beautiful Jurassic Park with Lyrics song: "Jurassic Park - what could possibly go wrong?"
Ironically in the beginning of the book "The Lost World" which was the only sequel to "Jurassic Park", it is mentioned that InGen went bankrupt because of all the Civil Lawsuits caused by the fiasco....
Dang, so Jurassic World actually contradicts the books (not just deviating from them)
Actually they filed Chapter 11 and all the lawsuits were settled out of court for undisclosed damages and with the stipulation that all parties signed a new NDA barring discussion of the island its purpose or the deaths and accidents that happened there in fact malcom broke his NDA and therefore was being sued by InGen for slander and was for to pay restitution...
@@leithmcmillan5562 The Movies and the Novels follow different continuities, due to the fact the Novels are VASTLY different from the films - rather than being directly based on the book, the Lost World movie is more akin to being based on the first Jurassic Park - adapting more parts of the story that didn't make it to the screen.
Jurassic World doesn't contradict anything, because the stuff that the Books say had little to do with the movies to begin with - not to say that is good or bad, or better or worse.
However, it's not to say that there were no lawsuits taken against InGen because of the Jurassic Park incident to begin with; in fact, it's actually documented in promotional material released by the DPG for the release of Fallen Kingdom.
In the movies; InGen suffered much more MAJOR lawsuits than what would be depicted here. (5 Mil for each person? Pfft - the lawsuits were up to SIX digits per death.) Either way, InGen was on the verge of bankruptcy because of these deaths - so Peter Ludlow's attempts to get Jurassic Park San Diego running seemed like a desperate last resort. The resulting lawsuits from THAT almost completely destroyed InGen - they really can't sweep a Bull T-Rex running lose in downtown San Diego under the rug.
As a result of this, John Hammond successfully lobbied to have Isla Sorna converted into a sanctuary for the Dinosaurs, provided that the Gene-Guard Act be signed to effect - it basically is a law that prevented InGen, as well as any other genetics company - from cloning any additional dinosaurs ever again.
However, after the San Diego Incident, Simon Masrani of Masrani Global purchased InGen and rescued it from bankruptcy. (It's clear in hindsight, Masrani wanted the company to get hands on the dinosaur cloning technology.)
During the time between the purchase in 1998 to 2001, with funding from Masrani, Dr. Wu - chief geneticist for InGen - snuck onto Isla Sorna with a team of geneticists and began conducting HIGHLY illegal genetic engineering experiments; illegally creating four new species of Dinosaurs not previously featured on either island, as well as genetically modifying at least two other per-existing species. (It's the unexplained events of Jurassic Park 3.)
By 2003-2004, Masrani had successfully bribed or planted enough officials in the Costa Rican Government to successfully amend the Gene Guard Act to allow them to not only create a brand new Dinosaur Park on Isla Nublar, to populate the park with existing stock from Isla Sorna, but to also allow them to genetically engineer replacement animals in their currently existing stock, should Sorna be found inadequate for their needs. Effectively John Hammond's last act was overturned and the Lost World was pillaged.
After opening in 2005, Jurassic World enjoyed massive success, to the point where Masrani basically was able to lobby to effectively neuter the Gene-Guard Act, to allow them to create new animals not previously featured on InGen's list. But with growing interest in Dinosaurs dwindling, Dr. Wu proposed the idea of gene-splicing to create an entirely new animal, based on the experiments he'd conducted before hand; thus leading to the creation of the Indominus Rex.
Thought you'd like to know; there's a lot to talk about when it comes to both the books and the movies, and I enjoy talking about them.
GanonGhidorah I think you meant 8 figure settlements. 6 figures is less than 1 million.
@@GanonGhidorah I completely forgot about the amazing efforts on the part of universal to fill in the gaps between movies but yes you're absolutely correct (concerning the movie plots) but the book [1st book] was written simultaneously with the movie BUT Crighton and Spielberg had different intentions for the movie version...Universal wanted a PG-13 movie and Crightons book is a HARD R rating if not NC-17 with the graphical depiction of the attacks and injuries (for the time anyway today it might still have gotten that PG-13 rating)...but in the books Ingen wasn't bankrupted by the 1st island but by the second hurricane that destroyed Site B...either way both are great at showing lack of responsibility on the part of ingen and her rivals (biosyn)...
The worst law broken here is the T Rex breaking the law of gravity by appearing at the top of that wall, even though later in the seen, when the car goes over, its basically a sheer cliff.
It's a large enclosure. Who says it's all the same elevation?
@@NoriMori1992 The car went through the opening Rexy made when breaking out of the enclosure, therefore the elevation would be the same since there wasn't a major ground-shifting earthquake in those moments. It was a major continuity problem in the movie for sure.
@@Moraenil So big that I even noticed it as a child, yep.
I love these movies! Please keep making them!
Objection: You are assuming that this facility is located within the United States, when in actuality, the Island is located within Costa Rica. While Costa Rica and the US are close trading partners, OSHA regulations would not apply.
Thank you for saying this! I was searching the comments for this. When is the good lawyer going to respond to this objection?
@@AudraT Being a presumably American company with presumably American citizens making up most of the employee base, would OSHA not be able to go after them regardless of their facility location? The family of that dead worker seemed to feel like they had *some* standard against which to make a case of negligence, after all, since that pending lawsuit is the entire reason the experts are invited to the island.
@@jerryc3467 yes I agree with this. I also thought if it was an American company it has to go by American standards.
@@jerryc3467 No lol, OSHA can't just 'go after them' regardless of location. Jurisdiction is exceptionally important in the law.
@Mary Burdette Yes but it would be thrown out way before it reached any court. Technically it would never 'be in' to be able to be 'thrown out'. OSHA is not recognised as an authority outside the US, and laws and conditions to be OSHA compliant are meaningless outside the US.

This just keeps getting more apt.
Slasher movies fans' catchphrase.
"i shouldnt laugh at this carnage"
It's ok we understand, you're a lawyer. You left your humanity in college
Objection: With the T-Rex enclosure, one cannot exclude the fact of deliberate sabotage. There is a strong possibility of back up procedures that never took place due to the deliberate bypassing of safety features. It is not the slam dunk you state.
Yes it is.
If you can't figure out there's a possibility someone might try to tamper with safety features, you need to stay far, far, far away from making ANY business, ESPECIALLY one where anything going wrong could lead to many deaths.
14:11
In the book they had a backup generator and often made use of barriers.
Im not sure about in the movie but i think they had a backup but Nedry sabotaged the sytems
yeah, but we are talking about the film here, not the book. That would be a seperate video. It's not clearly shown to the audience so we don't know. Hammond does however mention "concrete barriers" and some more stuff to the lawyer after the helicopter ride
This has probably been mentioned, but it's worth noting that in "Jurassic Park" the novel, the lawyer is one of the more selfless and openly heroic characters: a father himself, he puts life and limb on the line to save the kids.
The source material doesn't factor into the product that's made from it. We can really only use or refer to information in the actual movie.
He is at first a coward but then has a epiphany.
Like when he bravely hid from compies? I agree he's a great character, but that's because he's flawed.
@@thunderflare59 all great characters are flawed I believe.
Just like in the book Hammond is a callous, single, middle aged business man. Not the caring, loving grandfather as in the film.
OBJECTION: Since actual dinosaur fossils are usually to heavy to mount and too valuable to display most of the ones you see are actually lightweight replicas - usually fiberglass. This especially true of large species like the two seen here. So the extra weigh of people and dinosaurs could pull the skeletons free of their moorings without there necessarily being any negligence involved.
Especially considering that the reason that the scaffolding they climbed off of onto the display was there because the display was still under construction
The dust from the collapsing fossils and the looks on the inside that we see when they fall to the ground seem to indicate that the fossils were real and not fiberglass replicas.
@@seekerofalice9787 True, but they are right about the display being under construction. The displays were also not designed for horizontal swinging and when they separated it is likely that some cables ended up holding more weight than they were rated for while others had less. Only parts of the display fell after all.
Speaking as a mechanical engineer this could be construed as negligence. The design of the product or support structure in this case has to to a reasonable extent not endanger it's user or those that would reasonably come into contact with the support structure or product. In that same breath, the product or support structure has to be reasonably designed against misuse. The reasonable misuse here would be patrons or tourists climbing onto the dinosaur skeleton, and that a failure to design for this reasonable misuse would be negligence. The blame for the negligence, should damages occur, could either be on the Jurassic Park itself for not reasonably denying access to climbing onto the skeleton, the design of the weak supports, or both.
One comparable case for the failure to design for misuse was for a case against Xerox back in the day for a person that broke through the glass of the photocopying machine while photographing their butt. The injured person successfully sued for damages as the product was not reasonably designed against the reasonable misuse of someone sitting on the machine, which gained popularity culturally thanks in part to artists like Andy Worhal who experimented with using photocopying machines to copy parts of the human body and such. So by comparison to Jurassic park, there was a reasonable expectation that tourists would climb onto the dinosaur skeleton given easy access and the notion that riding on a dinosaur would be a popular, albeit bad, idea--similar to having an exposed electric fence that people could latch onto and injure themselves.

@@zodiac7287 wow. I feel like photocopying your ass should not be reasonable misuse. Copy machines should not need to be designed to to hold the weight of a human but that's sue happy America for you I guess
Thanks for all of these.
I'd love to know what laws are broken in the other Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, because there must have been many.
In Jurassic World, they put the Indominus Rex in an enclosure when the enclosure was still under construction. That's got to be some sort of violation.
Objection!:
1) The fence failure being negligence: Electric fences aren't just a wire connected to a power main (that wouldn't be a deterrent, it would be a booby trap) they're high-voltage low-current DC power sources that are isolated from ground and as such take very little power to operate unless they are actively being discharged into something touching the fence.A hearing aid battery can power one for a fairly long time and still deliver a fairly nasty shock when touched, if only a few times. What this means is that it's likely that the fence's failure wasn't a direct result of the power failure, but was rather another effect of Nedry's sabotage -- he either wrote a virus that indiscriminately took out all systems, or else he deliberately disabled safety systems in order to cover his escape. (Source: I'm an electrical engineer who has made electric fencing for a ranch that I lived on). Let's also remember that there would normally have been a rather well-armed staff close by and ready to intervene in the event of an escape.
2) The injuries from touching the electrified fence being forseeable -- again, the engineering perspective beats this quite handily from a few different perspectives:
a) No electric fence does that in real life. Tim was only making contact with the live wires, so there was no voltage potential that could result in an electric shock, electric fences don't use enough current to result in serious injury, and the way he was touching the fence would have, if he was indeed subjected to a magical electric shock , resulted in him gripping the fence even tighter rather than being flung away (and would not have resulted in cardiac arrest). It may be forseeable that at some point a human may touch an electrified fence, but it is not forseeable that the laws of physics would desert you at a critical moment.
b) It is forseeable that a human may at some point touch an electric fence FROM THE GROUND, but not from dozens of feet in the air. Tim's injuries were the result of the fence being reenergized while he was midway up, far higher than a human could reach without either climbing up the fence (which could be detected by ground fault sensors on the "safe" side of the fence) or using a ladder to overcome the safety systems designed to keep humans off of it. And for good measure, there WAS a warning system which announced the impending reenergization of the system, and the usual safe energization procedure was completely ignored on account of ongoing velociraptor attacks. (As a side note, Ellie didn't read the operations manual for the control center or receive any of the proper training or certifications to operate high-voltage equipment like the containment systems, leading directly to Tim's injuries. However, I'm fairly certain that ongoing velociraptor attacks are the most clear-cut example of exigent circumstances possible, so I forgive her.)
3) Nedry's crimes: he's guilty of grand larceny and felony murder, but you missed a big 'un: SABOTAGE. Federal law only specifically uses the S-word when dealing with aircraft or defense/military properties, but there are still both federal and state-level felony charges that can be leveled against professionals who deliberately or negligently introduce serious flaws into life-preserving systems. Essentially, if you're an engineer, mechanic, administrator, or other professional entrusted with the care of a device upon which people rely for their survival, you are guilty of a felony even if no injury results. So, imagining that no dinosaurs had escaped, nobody had been hurt, the damage to the facility was easily repaired, and Nedry accidentally swiped the $3 gift shop souvenir keychain embryos instead of the real thing, he still would be sitting in jail for several years at minimum for the crime of sabotaging the safety systems in the park. In sentencing him, I'd call his actions indicative of depraved indifference due to his willingness to go far further than the minimum necessary to cover his escape -- this being the early nineties, he'd be headed for the chair unless he took a plea deal.
4) The fossil's collapse: There are multiple supports on that skeleton, and given its value they are probably designed with sacrificial elements that are intended to give way under sudden force rather than imparting that force through the bones and damaging them. I don't think any reasonable judge would even have expected a sign saying "CAUTION: BONES MAY COLLAPSE IF LEAPT UPON FROM THE BALCONY WHILST FLEEING VELOCIRAPTORS".
5) The liability of the park in general: again, Nedry deliberately crippled the park's safety systems, both in ways that are specifically called out and in ways that are not specifically mentioned but can be inferred from the ensuing events, and did so at a time when the park was both short-staffed and cut off from help due to the impending hurricane. While I'm sure that the park's insurance carrier would quietly settle rather than facing a protracted and costly battle in court, it could be argued that this was a very clear force majeur scenario due to the combination of a bad actor deliberately undermining all of the park's safety systems and a natural disaster occurring at the same time. If not for the storm, there would have been far more staff onsite trained for such a scenario, and had Nedry not sabotaged *all* of the park's systems, the dinosaur escapes wouldn't have happened in the first place.
Basically, almost all of the safety issues were only safety issues because there wasn't a full staff complement on hand, someone sabotaged the park's everything, and there was no way to call for help. To relate it to a more realistic scenario: imagine that a zookeeper takes his family on an off-hours tour, and the zoo's superintendent simultaneously cuts the locks on all the cages, jams all the nearby cell towers, and grabs a lion cub with the intent of selling it on the black market. In such a case it's reasonable for even a normally well-run zoo to descend into utter chaos, and we would lay the blame for any deaths squarely at the feet of the superintendent in such a case.
Did Legal Eagle respond to this elsewhere? 'Cause this seems like a *very* solid objection!
@@JohnSmith-zr6fi I added it several months after the video was posted, so I'm not sure he's looked at it yet
Awesome response. I learned a heck of a lot thanks for posting
So you’re correct but a fence with enough shock to deter a thick hide dinosaur would likely need a higher current to deliver and even higher DC voltage to produce a sufficient shock. The real problem is that he’s grabbed the fence with both hands making a complete circuit path through his heart. 100 milliamperes is enough to kill you and I have to imagine the current on that fence is well over a full ampere
@@sorrenblitz805the fence shouldn't even be passing a microamp at rest, and when touched it should be delivering less than 5mA. Electric fences are current - limited devices that won't deliver more than their rated current even if you short them, and even an animal with a tough hide doesn't need much current to experience pain when exposed to over 1 kV. As for your statement that Tim experienced a shock through both hands, remember that both hands were gripping the same wire, making a shock impossible in the first place; also understand that electric fences work by having a high voltage relative to the ground, not by requiring you to make contact with two wires to complete the circuit, and since Tim wasn't touching the ground at all he wouldn't have been shocked. (As a side note, Alan was spot - on when he told Tim to jump, since that would have ensured Tim didn't touch a live and grounded contact at the same time. If you're trapped in contact with a high-voltage wire, the best thing to do is bunny-hop away, keeping your feet together until you're at least fifty feet away )
Dennis Nedry also voluntarily poisoned someone's food with shaving cream.
that was his worst crime, probably another 20 life sentences.
I was just about to comment on that, worst crime in the whole movie.
I saw that too.
What is chemical in the shaving cream?
That's almost as messed up as the dunking an onion in caramel thing.
I would argue that aside from some minor negligence and osha violations hamond wouldnt be responsibile for the deaths and damage during the storm, because we learn that there are many emergency generators, but when nedry shut down the system he likely disabled the emergency checks, meaning the power wouldnt turn on, when they go restart the power it is an emergency power area, not even the main generator
I'd love to see you tackle Jurassi World as well, given the context of a fully operational park this time.
Funnily enough Muldoon did say "How many time, we need locking mechanism on the vehicle door?!" before the group went out to see the Triceratop
Thank you! When LegalEagle was talking about having a mechanism to keep the tourists in the vehicles, I instantly thought of Muldoon's line there!
I was thinking of the Exact same thing! Great Minds think alike, Right?
This actually adds onto the case against Hammond, since the precaution had been foreseen and stated but no action was taken.
Would that be kidnapping if the locks automatically lock? I'd imagine they all would sign a liability waiver.
The park wasn't fully up and running yet though.
"Spared no expense," which here means "if anything goes wrong, we can afford the fines."
“We have damn good liability insurance.”
I'm guessing they'd have to be self-insured.
@@BlackavarWD Yeah. Not even Geico would touch something like this.
I love this. Can you review the laws broken in Jurassic World? I wonder if they are the same or if they handle some of the broken laws in this first movie.
OBJECTION: The OSHA regulations you speak about at the 1:15 pertain to the USA and Jurassic Park is located in the South Pacific; therefore OSHA doesn't apply. Of course the same applies to the other broken laws you mention in this video. I don't believe it was ever made clear which country had jurisidction over this island, but it wasn't the USA.
LegalEagle: "i'm sure no zoo arms their employees with cattleprods and automatic weapons"
Joe Exotic: "Hold my beer!"
At least in the book, they do have powerful backup generators, but Nedry turns them off to increase confusion and make his escape easier.
He didn't even notice the freakin FLAMETHROWERS in the same scene.
Joe wouldn't give the employees lethal fire power those "dinosaurs" are highly valuable bioengineered creatures worth millions a piece. While Joe's volunteers... are replaceable

I am so grateful to be alive today. My girlfriend saved my life last night. This is a selfie I took in the emergency room after having a severe allergic reaction to almonds. I went into anaphylaxis, meaning my face, my lips, my eyes, my tongue, and my throat all started swelling up rapidly, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. I also had a rash all over my entire body, and I was extremely red. Staying alive had never felt more difficult. At one point, my nasal passage was completely blocked, and it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. They shot me up with Benadryl, steroids, they gave me a breathing tube, and even other stuff that I can’t even remember, and it caused all of the swelling and the rash to go away. Because this was a severe allergic reaction, I need to continue taking steroids and Benadryl for the next week, because it is possible that the allergic reactions could come back at any point over the next week. The steroids and Benadryl make me feel like a zombie, and I really want to take care of my health, so this will be my main focus over the next week. I want to thank my amazing girlfriend, who made the decision to take me to the emergency room the second I started feeling itchy. I was hesitant about going, because I didn’t even want to believe this was actually happening. If it weren’t for my girlfriend driving me to the emergency room only minutes after eating the almonds, there is a good chance that I wouldn’t have made it according to the doctor. This has been without a doubt the hardest few days of my life, but I also look at them as the most important few days of my life. These moments have reminded me about what’s really important in life, and it has made me so grateful to even be here on this earth. I will be prioritizing my health over the next week, and I’ll post updates about how I feel. Thank you all for being patient during these difficult times. This week has been NUTS (too soon for jokes? 😅)

If you disagree this portrayal, then why not hit Universal with a lawsuit for defamation of character??? 🤣
Objection: The Trex fence, had backup power generators, but the system including backups were compromised by Nedry. and I do not believe it was a foreseeable result since background checks, and other things would have been done and nedry slipped through.
You could argue that the background checks were lacking...or simply lacked. ;)

Sounds like negligence for not installing them beforehand. Even trial runs of the park still need to follow safety regulations.
