Still it is!!! Just compare w the latest parts ....the t rex scene still looks a lot more realistic after many years then the latest versions. Spielberg, Stan Winston did an amazing job back then!
I used to think so too. But now, having seen the two completely different purple shirts on Lex, this movie is a total train wreck. Take Jurassic Park and give it back to the Indians.
As someone who is watch Jurassic Park no less than 1000 times, and never noticed any of these mistakes, I can say they are forgivable LOL but great work for the video pointing them out.I will never not try to find these when I rewatch the movie the next thousand times 😂
One of my fave movies! Those little mistakes takes almost a nano-second to the eye of the viewers. You will never notice it when watching it on the big screen. I never realized it after watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
The mysterious drop off in the T-Rex enclosure has always bugged the hell out of me. I don’t understand how anyone working on that movie didn’t stop and say “this makes zero sense”
I can't count how many times I've seen Jurassic Park (I do know I saw it 7 times when it was originally released), and I consider it in my top 5 all-time favorite movies, but the T-Rex paddock always drove me crazy. All films have goofs, but this was jaw-dropping in how nobody stopped to say "ummmm...guys...".
There actually is an Explanation for that. The enclosure is actually built like a pit, with a ramp going up the right side to a platform where the goat is, left of the goat is just a drop off where the tour vehicle got pushed.
well here's 1 that no one knows, during the opening scene where the raptor lunges itself towards the gate knocking the worker down, play it frame by frame and you will see when the worker is falling, the cameraman's hand appears in front of the camera trying to cover it so that the falling actor won't drop on the camera and damage it XD
Regarding the rotoscoping: the gally-whatsits are fast-moving dinos. It's a rapid shot with a lot of moving parts. It's a brief instant of danger, quickly gone. For that, they'll go with "good enough". The T-Rex attack though is a major moment in the film. This is not a creature speeding through the frame; this is a big, heavy animal that is incredibly dangerous. So you're going to spend a LOT more time on that moment, making sure it looks good.
When i started watching your video, i felt like i was going to see at least 4 mistakes that i already seen on youtube/internet but i was really surprised that i had seen 10 new original mistakes that you found. I have been watching your video with a great pleasure, thank you!
here is a dialogue mistake made by the actor who played the lawyer. " The investors who I represent. If they're not satisfied, I'm not satisfied. We'll shut you down John".
I actually laughed out loud at the slapstick moments of Dennis' driving skills with the added music and then the car joining Tim falling over the edge 🤣 amazing video!
well. He is a tech nerd. I doubt he collected lots of driving experience throughout his life. Especially under the weather conditions on action at that time. Also he was in a hurry and quite excited as well. In the book its mentioned he only has like a few minutes to "steal" the jeep, get to the dock and return, so noone will notive he stole anything/was up to something shaby. He is a very human character in that scene.
Reading through all the comments, the people who really love the movie blindly, are defending all the mistakes. L😂L Don't worry, 😎 blind lovers 😎 ,we all agree, it is a *"Great Movie"* 👌 Especially for nineteen ninety three 🤗 👏👏👏
There is something that is just so wholesome about this guy. He has a sort of innocence that is really adorable. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending because it’s a compliment. 🙂
Nedry may be a terrible driver, but at least you can see at 11:12 that he had 4WD engaged! It's the icon furthest left of the cluster right next to his shoulder. You can also see the joysticks for the searchlights mounted on top of the Jeep off to the right.
The drop at the T-Rex paddock, actually has an explanation, but it is not included in the final release of the movie. If you take a look at the demo reel that Phil Tippett did for the stop motion version of the scene, the T-Rex pulls the car further down the road. The drop is at that location, like a hill going from the bottom up to the goat. This was not in the movie, but it was in the first drafts of the storyboard. Which also explains why they could get down so fast, they simply took the hill route. 🙂Of course, it looks weird in the final movie, and it always bugged me.
The other thing is they used a wide angle lens which compresses the distance so it looked like the rex broke out right next to the kids car when it broke out next to the adults like 40 feet back.
The T-Rex didn't push the cars further, because if you look at the fence posts and wires, you can see the cars are always in the same exact place and didn't move at all. It's the drop that appears from the nothing.
@@Gaua1 again, as I said, it is a wide angle lens optical illusion. The explorer was way further down the road, probably where the moat they mention earlier in the film is supposed to be. The only real inconsistency is the height of some trees seen in other shots vs when the truck is thrown over the cliff.
@@Gaua1 As I wrote: In the original script, the T-Rex pulls the car further away. That is where the drop is. The movie does not show this, which makes the drop appear as if it comes out of nothing. There is no explanation for the drop in the movie, but there is an explanation in the original storyboard.
@@scottb3034 The "moat" mentioned is the concrete wall, not the drop. The concrete moat is completely visible. Those concrete moats can also be seen as zoos around the globe. The drop itself is not the moat but a drop near a hill. But yes, the Rex did push the explorer to the concrete moat over the cliff.
this channel should be shared to alot of more people who doesnt know how much fantastic work and entertaining content there is hiding in this channel. This video is only one of them and it all ready derseves over 100k likes. youre amazing!
Ever since I was a kid and watched it for the first time I always wondered about that huge drop in the T-Rex enclosure, never understood how the T-Rex managed to get over it. My conclusion was just that I was a kid too young to understand what the adults that made the film wanted to show.
IIRC In the book and in the original storyboards when the rex flipped the car and started pushing it in circles, the cars were supposed to be on a slight hill so she was actually pushing it a bit further down the road before she pushed it over the concrete and that is where the drop she pushed it over is.
@@ivaneames4354 Not a second hole, the wires slipped through their eyelets, the wires were not attached to the fence posts, they were threaded through eyelets (metal rings) attached to each post. This is demonstrated perfectly after Rexy breaks the wires, we see the wires fall through their eyelets next to the car Grant and Malcom were in.
Makes me wonder how many of these mistakes such as seeing wires pulling and such, were purposely left in because it was inconsequential at the time, it would've been tough to see it with the resolution back then. Now with everything remastered, stuff like that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Plus you also have to remember if you were a viewer in 93 watching this, you would not be so focus on the mistakes we seen now. You be more amazed, shock, and scared when seeing the wow factor and be so amazed an entrance by the film you would not even focus on it. Like even now if you have this film on DVD or streaming serves, and even if you knew all of these mistake you would not really notes them, your so focus on film in where it wants the viewer to look you never pay attention to the mistakes. Two examples, one being when they go through the massive gate, your more focus on the cars passing through the gate, cause that where the director wanted your eyes to focus on, the second example the raptor attack, on one of the workers in the first film. When the camera is zooming it, on the guy being held my mauldoon. It wants you to focus on that guy and not the empty cage where ya can see his legs laying on the ground. It sorta a trick directors use to get the viewers to focus, on a specific scene and not what going on around the scene.
This just shows how good they really are, becuase chances are 99.9% of people did notice any of these mess up . Not the first time, second time, or last itme. Once watched and shown here Im kind of blown away by how in the world didnt I notice any of these....? LMAO. Just showing how good they really are, that something can be so obvious in your face, yet you dont notice it at all.
The main mistake I noticed was when the T-Rex was eating the goat leg, you can briefly see the sprinklers spraying the water acting as rain. I’m not sure if you noticed that or not.
@@joeystoney3678 if I were the T-Rex, I would find that very concerning. Not nearly as concerning though as a complete Velociraptor disappearing from my mouth.
Great video, and very refreshing to see so many mistakes I haven't heard of before. As I understand it Steven Spielberg deliberately created that huge drop at the T-Rex enclosure because he thought that would make for a better movie. It's probably also why Lex is turning on the flashlight in the car. It doesn't really makes sense, but who cares? Usually the audience won't catch this sort of thing on their first viewing because they're so caught up in the story and the awesome special effects. Your eye just doesn't go there first, and mr Spielberg knows it. I love it how a movie with so many 'mistakes' ends up as my favorite movie of all time.
Surely the disappearing bag could be easily explained. There might have been a brief shot of Dennis putting the bag down on the ground by his side, but that was then edited out, perhaps for reasons of the movie's overall running time?
I love reading about goofs in movies, but this class of goof (“person holding wine glass, then not holding wine glass”) is completely unsatisfying. We have to allow that the characters are alive and will move about, perform actions, etc that the viewer does not catch. That’s real life. There is simply no need to show Dennis putting the bag down. That’s what the character and the actor would do. You might as well complain that someone flew from Los Angeles to NYC in 2 minutes, since the didn’t film the whole flight.
@@albertbatfinder5240 i agree, some mistakes are not important at all. Script supervisor is a god damn hard job tho. But as a script supervisor myself, when an actor ask you "did i put my knife down after this line?" you better have an answer. You can't say "honestly we don't care it'll be cut with editing" in front of the whole crew.
That really wasn't a mistake they had a storyboard completely planned out to explain how it came about. It isn't flawless with the shots in the movie because obviously they didn't really make it but from a continuity aspect, it's explained
As a CG artist myself I can't help but nit pick at the VFX as well especially the skinning and weight painting in some of the dinos. But this was a product of its time and I generally don't mind it and give it a pass since its one of my favorite movies.
Fun Fact: because the artists had only ever animated clay models in stop motion, and physical puppets, before, they invented the D.I.D., Dinosaur Input Device (later renamed the Digital Input Device). literally little robot dinosaurs articulated the way actual dinos would be, but with sensors all over them hooked into their computers running the cgi animation programs. this allowed them to animate the dinosaurs by moving an actual puppet, frame by frame, and recording the movements. I dunno if its still in use today, but be cool if it was. i know it was used heavily in starship troopers, tho modified to allow for fluid live puppeteering.
I literally just watched JP on Netflix yesterday lol. To this day remains in my top 5 of all time, with all its glorious *Doug DeMuro* “quirks & features” lol Great video my dude. I loved the Dennis driving bit with the circus music. I 😂🤣 hard at that one. Very well done
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies with Davy Jones is almost 20 years old and it still lookes amazing. and grate video made me laugh specialy when we saw the guy drive so terrible and when timmy fall down in the t-rex cage, just imagining that timmy is in the car.
I was mesmerised by the beautiful scenery and the whole concept, so I didn't notice any of these mistakes. The scene with the raptors in the kitchen truly terrified me! When I became an extra in movies and adverts later on, I became a lot more conscious of things like this, and it spoilt a lot of movies for me afterwards😅 I must make a point of watching it again, and see if I can pick up what you noticed!
You missed at least 4 of what I can think of. When the helicopter first lands on the island on the helipad, you see the jeeps near the helipad, next shot, you see the jeeps reversing up near the helipad. When Elle runs for the power generator tunnels when the raptors are stalking them, she jumps over the same tree trunk twice. When Dennis turns rogue & steals the dinosaur embryo's, some names of species of dinosaur are misspelled. The scene where Tim & Lex are hiding from the raptors in the kitchen, the shot when a raptor is in a doorway, you can see the animatronic operator's arm steadying the raptor
About the misspelled names: In the book, Malcolm talks about how Dr. Wu doesn't even know the names of the dinosaurs he is creating. I'm not saying the misspelling is intentional, but if you want an "in-universe explanation", there it is.
Errors are possible But not like errors that occurred in the movie jaws for steven spielberg Even jurassic park has him too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great vid my dude Thx 👍😊👍
the digital effects are off yes, but they were so well done ahead of their time that even today you have to slow it down to even notice it, very impressive for it's time
Great video, I like these older movies where they actually built up the sets as the visitor center etc. Must have been so cool to actually see them in real life when they were making the movie. Or being inside one of those sound stages with all the whole set, with t-rex, lightning, rain etc goes off at the same time, that would be awesome to watch. Also, these early adopters of 3D and real graphics in movies, what a load of work to do. Impressive how they could render everything with such good quality, on a dos-machine with no computer-power if you compare to what people got in the gaming-pcs these days. Even today when you watch newer movies, you can see how bad the graphics can be, and as said, compare a computer from 30 years ago with todays technology, they should be able to make it alot better, but guess they stress alot to cut the cost today compared to before.
At the 12:30 mark, with the light in the background, there are wires on front of the car when it's turned over. In the prior shot, there were no wires on the right side (now the left when it's turn over). In the shot from a different angle (12:40) the wire is gone.
Excellent video! Another goof that has always bugged me was during the baby raptor hatch scene. The robot arm is there one second, then is gone the next. But the sudden cliff at the TRex paddock is definitely number one.
I loved the antenna rotoscoping mistake. I love the movie-making process, and understand and can forgive most of the mistakes mentioned here. Although, finding "mistakes" can also show you how some scenes were created, and are fun to do. Among the more unforgivable mistakes, like the drop-off at the T-Rex paddock, there is one big mistake you missed. The cars that go through Jurrasic Park are supposed to run on a track. Yet, there is nothing going between the cars and the track. There are a few scenes where this is clearly visible. Like you, I have nothing but respect for all of the hard work that went into making this wonderful movie. Too bad with so many movies now, they don't put in the required work to make the movies appear realistic.
The cars were not supposed to be functioning like old slot cars but like a sophisticated contract-free guiding system, most likely utilizing magnetic scanners looking for the track under the vehicles and giving inputs to the automated steering system. A very elegant solution.
@@LKDesign I do love it when fans feel the need to make up a cover story for an obvious mistake in a movie. "A sophisticated contract-free guiding system" wasn't mentioned anywhere in the movie, unless you saw something that I did not. If you have evidence for this, please point out the exact time code where this is visible. Your young age perhaps makes you want to grasp at straws that aren't there. But I saw this movie when it first came out in 1993. A breathtaking masterpiece of CGI blended with real effects. But even the best movies have mistakes. This was one of them. 1993 technology... I might believe you had this movie came out this year, or even in the past decade. Yes, we give them a pass when it comes to making up things like the ability to clone dinosaurs from petrified mosquito blood tens of millions of years old, but that is because they explained it in the movie.
Wow! I must have seen this movie a hundred times! And the only mistakes i ever noticed are the same ones i saw at the cinema in '93... the fences not going far enough, (including the tyrannosaur paddock,) the fact that they could fit through the fence instead of climbing over it, that cliff at the tyrannosaur paddock, (that drove me crazy...) and the one that i thought for certain you would mention... because you showed it a few times... the Helicopter windows. Made my eyes bleed! Also, from memory, there appears to be a dent in the helicopter when it is landing for the first time. not sure what's going on there. But all things considered, it is still right up there with the best movies of all time 👍👍
There was a very obvious mistake that you did not mention. In the T-Rex breakout scene the car holding Tim and Lex has the door open due to Gennaro exiting the car. But when the camera moves to the perspective of Alan Grant’s car the car door is shut. Then when the T-Rex approaches Tim and Lexie’s car the door is closed again.
I did notice that but, my attention was so preoccupied with what they wanted us to watch, I never really called it out. It only felt off for a split second and I didn't pay it any real attention. I bet every A list movie has some continuity errors.
"Maybe they just took the same shortcut as Tim" XD Brilliant! Continuity errors are innumerable in this movie. You could make a top 100 or 1000 list of those. But still a masterpiece!
This movie revolutionized the way we view dinosaurs as these intelligent, fast moving creatures that did more than just eat and fight, it also was the first movie to depict the undeniable fact that the theropod dinosaurs walked with their backs to the air and their tails providing balance instead of these upright creatures with their tails dragging along the ground
One thing that always annoyed was how blatently wrong the (smaller) dinosaurs were depicted: Velociraptor was way smallerin RL; Deinonychus would've been the appropriate species! Not even mentioning how wrong Dilophosaurus was :facepalm: And - eventhough knowledge came only in later years, but still never corrected in later episodes: NO FEATHERS??!
One of my favorite mistakes from the movie is in the end Rex scene. When the do the drawn back shot of the Rex with the first raptor in its mouth and the plastic curtain is visible on camera, the Rex has no shadow. The sunlight from the opening is flooding the floor under the Rex’s feet. As for the drop at the Rex paddock, there are mentions of moats around all of the paddocks, and the storyboards show that the moat at the Rex paddock comes up to road level in the center.
Even when I was a kid watching this I never understood the last one. There is no drop on any of the shots and then suddenly there is a huge drop where the t-rex pushes the car down. I’ve always found it confusing and didn’t understand the concept😅
I hate things like this in movies. It's like we're supposed to be swept up in the action and forget the discontinuities. But you always question it afterwards, and it makes the effort seem amateurish.
There is supposed to be a drop, it's in the original novel from which the movie takes a huge inspiration. I mean the movie is a clear novel adaptation, so yea. But they are supposed to cyrcle the island and end up back at the T-rex paddock from the other side. It's not supposed to be the same place from earlier. How they still can see the now empty goat stand is a mystery, but probably added for more dramatic effect, or something. You see, when Hammond finally gives the order to call the cars back, they aren't supposed to reverse all the way, they still drive forward and the cars can't turn 180, because they follow a single track laid in the ground, so they run through the whole "observation road" (only in fast forward mode) and during Nedry's embryo theft they stop back at T-rex, but this time from the other side. That's why there's supposed to be a drop, they end up in a different place, not the same from the morning. At least that's in the novel. They messed it up in the movie by showing different scenes during the storm and later during the search party, one time there's no drop, other time there is that drop. The drop should be there always! How the T-rex managed to get up? Well it's a huge dino, I guess. Or maybe took a small detour, the terrain might allow it. I don't really know, but in the book the drop really is there.
You missed something. In the scene where denis encounters the dilophasour. When it sprays it’s paralysing goo on him. When he puts his hand on his chest to pull it off, you can clearly see that he put it on himself and just pulled it off.
The last one with the trex paddock and drop off was always one I questioned. Even as a kid watching this. Really cool to see all the other ones you noticed
I'm a big fan of Jurassic Park and never noticed any of these mistakes. You are very meticulous. I don't know why after spending millions of dollars to produce movies like this the studios do not hire people like you to scrutinize the final product before it gets released. Excellent video!
in the movie studio’s defense, the movie came out in 1993 and was released on VHS and before 720p was a thing let alone 4K. Get a VHS copy, VCR, and a tv from the 90s and see if you spot all the mistakes here. A lot of these mistakes you have to go frame by frame to spot them. Minus the continuity errors
I usually do not comment of videos, but your commitment to this video is impressive. It is entertaining to watch and your attention to detail and the way you explained things were remarkable .
Plus I do not get some of these comments. You were respectful of the movie while pointing our the mistakes. Plus you acknowledged that fact that the special effects on this movie are ahead of its time!
Great job finding all this stuff. Cameras and crew in shots are always going to happen due to reflections. Some of the fences not going anywhere was just sloppy set construction work that didn't accounting for how wide the shot would be, so maybe the camera/director is to blame here too. The mistake I always see are the cables lowering the Explorer when Grant and Tim are climbing down the tree, they are so obvious on a re-watch I can't un-see them now. They could pull the vehicle up and down as needed, its being winched the whole time for safety reasons (duh). In fact some of the branches appear "rigged" to break as they pivot on hinges. The security video was a clearly a QuickTime movie playing, anyone who used a Mac back in those days would recognize it immediately... I sure did. Not a mistake: the money bag was dropped beside Dennis when he looks up amazed at the trick shaving cream can, he is giddy with excitement so much so he forgets about the money, for a minute. The bag is likely sitting right next to his chair on the ground. The cliff drop behind the T-Rex paddock never made sense - was the Rex going to scale the wall to eat the goat? Ummm no. I wonder if this was a case of them scripting the car falling out of the tree scene then forgetting they weren't on a cliff. I see others have posted explanations about this, but sorry its a mistake plain and simple regards of the edit IMHO.
"shoot her" scene, as the camera looks up at the guy falling off the crate you can see the cameraman's hand reach out to break the guy's fall "welcome to jurassic park" scene, Grant and Ellie change position between wide and close shots Helicopter landing scene- shot looking down at helipad shows the cars backed up as far as they can go. Next shot they're reversing The robotic arm rotating the Velociraptor eggs disappears in 1 shot T-Rex breaking car roof glass. T-rex goes too far into the car and breaks the plexiglass , next shot it's unbroken There's spelling mistakes on the embryo storage when Nedry's removing them Nedry death scene- you can see Nedry has the Dilo venom in his hand and puts it on his jacket himself When Hammond is eating icecream the fans on the ceiling are on when the power is meant to be down Kitchen scene- wide shot of the Raptor in the doorway, you can see a hand reach out to keep it steady and in one of the scenes you can see the raptor looking straight at the kids
The fans one is not necessarily a mistake. The power is on. Only select features were turned off. The power was fine in the kitchen and dining lounge. The plexiglass one is not an error because it went too far. It is an error because the plexiglass broke in two and the rex animatronic lost a tooth.
wow you did an AMAZING job with this. when I was a kid this movie seemed so PERFECTLY advanced and was advertised so well, almost like a perfect product, like the production crew was magic. but you have revealed so many things that were overshadowed by the hype. Some of it is just so crappy, like with the Nedry scene where he is just playing video files?!? amazing how that was considered acceptable for such a high budget film. And I love that you pointed out how most of this was due to low resolution monitors. You are probably right about that.
You forgot to mention that Stegosaurus was misspelled when Nedry was stealing the DNA samples. Also, when the brachiosaurus was eating leaves, it was chewing them. The brachiosaurus didn't have molars, so it couldn't chew. Also, Ellie jumps over the same tree more than once when Muldoon tells her to run. Despite the mistakes, it remains one of my favorite movies. Mistakes be damned.
The biggest mistake being the trex breakout scene! The T rex gets out on level ground at first but when it comes to the car being pushed over the edge.. its a huge drop? Glad this was covered :)
@@ChicagoMel23 It hasn't the goat on the chain scene shows theres no large channel/ moat and the t rex at one point stands directly behind the fence. Its just a continuity error that I think even Speilberg says doesn't really matter.
I gotta say none of these mistakes take away from the movie, in my book, small stuff like this is totally acceptable. As long as they dont distract from the movie while your watching it, its no big deal
That's crazy, it's my favourite film in of all time and all the mistakes I seen you don't mention haha seen a few more now though that I never noticed before. Good video brother.
This was before the era of digitally removing the mistakes. This film has many small mistakes/errors, but this does not take away from the experience at all. First time watching you won't even recognize them. It is still one of the greatest movies of all time.
These are so great. At 9:33 you can see the pink towel on the counter behind Hammond along with two glasses that appear beside the sink in the next shot.
If the Explorers are returning back to the visitor centre, then there would be a tunnel in front of the breakout scene. The electric road tracks also disappear in the jungle chase scene where there should be a tunnel, so the T.Rex wouldn’t be able to chase them if there was one. Also don’t forget about the hand on the raptor in the kitchen doorway. Or the changing B pillars in the Explorers. Still love the movie.
@@nicolaimadsen7036 Yep. And also they aren't reversing the same road, the electric cars can't even turn 180, because they have to follow a cable in the road. Which means they aren't at the same place, when they stop at Rexy's paddock, they are on the other side of the paddock. That also explains the sudden drop, that's there during the storm, but wasn't, when they observed the goat in the morning. How they still see the goat stand is beyond me, perhaps added for more drama, maybe the stand was higher and the terrain allows them to see it from the other side as well. Really don't know. But in the book they "return" to the T-rex paddock from continuing the tour (only in fast forward mode, skipping any other dinos), probably same goes for the movie. Yes, there are mistakes with the drop appearing and disappearing suddenly during the storm and later, but it's supposed to be there. Its "sudden" appearance isn't a mistake, its sudden "disappearance" is.
The rex breakout was an optical illusion. The wide angle lens compressed the distance in the shot to make everything appear close together. The rex broke out 50 feet away from the kids car, right next to the adult explorer. Which is why it could step out there just fine. The kids were where the "concrete moat" in the rex paddock is located. Which is what was talked about earlier in the movie.
Great video. Let me add another mistake (this is for animators!): at 12:27 you can see a short displacement of T-Rex foot for just a few frames. That's a common mistake when doing CGI animation. The curve of the X axis for the foot did a jump right next to the keyframe of the animation. That is fixed by adjusting the curve in the graph editor. So, there you go!
I have an explanation for the giant drop. So basically the Trex enclosure is on a hill. The T. rex broke out at the top of the hill, which explains how it just walked on out. Grant and Lex fell a little ways down the hill, where there was drop. The workers never bothered to pave up the hill and instead built a platform. This is why the hill isn’t the same elevation as the road
If it's just a hill, why didn't Grant and the children just walk up that hill in the morning? Save themselves the trouble of being electrocuted by a fence?
The drop in the Rex attack scene would make sense if they left in some deleted footage. Where the goat is and the cars stopped is ground level but the story boards show (and even the fence in the daylight) a significant drop by the tunnel exit...that's the concrete moat Genaro and Hammond are discussing in the Jeep. The Rex pushes the car away from level ground and towards the moat drop. This is also how Muldoon and Ellie are able to get down to see the other car.
Exactly. Additionally, the paddock that the Explorer gets pushed into isn't the Rex paddock itself, but the adjacent one. The funny part is that this _has_ to be the Brachiosaur paddock, as Grant and the kids see the longnecks that night - had they wandered in from another paddock, it wouldn't have been until the next day; ergo, Brachiosaur paddock. How the raptors got from their paddock all the way to the Brachiosaur paddock and back in time to be caught and transferred to that feeding paddock is only explained in the book, but the tracks Grant finds are identical to the raptor tracks that Muldoon finds. That said, another movie mistake is in the scene where the various programs are starting to shut down: one of the monitors features a map of the park and each paddock, and flashes as the fences for each are turned off. As the tour is presented, however, the paddocks listed don't match the dinosaurs we see. The tour goes, Dilophosaurus, T. Rex, Triceratops - and then the cars turn around somehow and stop back at the Rex. The map says that the Triceratops paddock comes before the Rex, but that's not what's shown. Moreover, the paddock immediately before the Rex (the one that the car gets pushed into) has to be the Brachiosaur paddock.
The original script included what would have been a thrilling scene of Samuel L Jacksons character being killed by velociraptors, there was a full story board drawn out depicting the scene. Unfortunately due to the movie set in Hawaii being severely damaged during a storm the scene was never filmed and was in turn omitted from the movie.
@@hanburgundy4317 In addition to your "research" (great work btw, haven't paid attention to that myself), they aren't supposed to reverse back to the Tyrannosaur (as people may think), they cyrcle the island (skip the rest of the road in fast forward mode) and come back to Rexy from the other side. The cars can't even turn 180 as they only follow a single track in the ground of the road and everything runs automaticaly by a program. So the place they stop at during the storm (and Nedry's embryo theft) is supposed to be a different place on the other side of the island, still adjacent to the Rexy paddock. Maybe seeing the now empty goat stand was added for more drama like "oh god, the goat is gone, that means the T-rex is comming!" something like that. But they are definitely supposed to be on the other side of the paddock. Like if in the morning they saw the south side, during the storm they should be on the north side (or the other way, or any way eitherway lol).
yea that T-rex paddock drop was always my gripe.. like HOW TF did the Trex get out of that? lol.. good video.. didn't notice most of these.. i'll have to rewatch this and laugh...
This video brings to my mind the stupidity of people who believe landing to the Moon was a fake. Guess what? It would be so easy to find artificial walls and backgrounds with the same attention to details
I was an avid movie goer for decades and my only interest was is being entertained. Considering the complexity of creating a movie, mistakes are inevitable and I expect that many were discovered and corrected during the process. It may be mildly amusing for a minority of people to discover these mistakes but they don't detract in any way from the ceativity, imagination and talent required to bring them to the 'silver screen' and the experience of fans such as myself to suspend belief and immerse themselves in film.
i love that you initially made a disclaimer about the movie being made in the 90s when technology was not that perfect. But when I was watching this as a young movie buff, I was able to suspend my disbelief. It still is a masterpiece for me. Spielberg is really a genius for being a pioneer in special effects. Thank you too for the this...

Whether you see the mistakes or not, considering the technology that was available at the time Jurassic Park was a masterpiece.
I highly agree 💯
Still it is!!! Just compare w the latest parts ....the t rex scene still looks a lot more realistic after many years then the latest versions. Spielberg, Stan Winston did an amazing job back then!
IS a masterpiece
That's the truth that first time seeing it at the theater when the T-rex roared was epic
I used to think so too. But now, having seen the two completely different purple shirts on Lex, this movie is a total train wreck. Take Jurassic Park and give it back to the Indians.
As someone who is watch Jurassic Park no less than 1000 times, and never noticed any of these mistakes, I can say they are forgivable LOL but great work for the video pointing them out.I will never not try to find these when I rewatch the movie the next thousand times 😂
One of my fave movies! Those little mistakes takes almost a nano-second to the eye of the viewers. You will never notice it when watching it on the big screen. I never realized it after watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Mistake or not this is still better than most movies from 2024 , 31 years later
But Jurassic world is good too (only the first one)
Its actully been 30 years not 31
U can say that again they don’t make good movies like this anymore
The mysterious drop off in the T-Rex enclosure has always bugged the hell out of me. I don’t understand how anyone working on that movie didn’t stop and say “this makes zero sense”
'Don't worry about it. No one will notice' - Movie executive (probably)
I can't count how many times I've seen Jurassic Park (I do know I saw it 7 times when it was originally released), and I consider it in my top 5 all-time favorite movies, but the T-Rex paddock always drove me crazy. All films have goofs, but this was jaw-dropping in how nobody stopped to say "ummmm...guys...".
Spare no expense
There actually is an Explanation for that. The enclosure is actually built like a pit, with a ramp going up the right side to a platform where the goat is, left of the goat is just a drop off where the tour vehicle got pushed.
Yeah my brain always hurts when I see that
"Maybe they took the same shortcut as Tim did." That part made me laugh more than it had any business to.
just got to that part. 😆
Another mistake. When the velociraptor pushes open the kitchen door, you can see a crew member's hand place itself on the raptor's tail to steady it.
Was going to say this! 😄
@@pearldragon6508 same
Also,when the kids are running through the kitchen the boys ear is bleeding then it's not and then it is.
well here's 1 that no one knows, during the opening scene where the raptor lunges itself towards the gate knocking the worker down, play it frame by frame and you will see when the worker is falling, the cameraman's hand appears in front of the camera trying to cover it so that the falling actor won't drop on the camera and damage it XD
How’d he forget that, it’s the most famous thing to happen in movies
Regarding the rotoscoping: the gally-whatsits are fast-moving dinos. It's a rapid shot with a lot of moving parts. It's a brief instant of danger, quickly gone. For that, they'll go with "good enough".
The T-Rex attack though is a major moment in the film. This is not a creature speeding through the frame; this is a big, heavy animal that is incredibly dangerous. So you're going to spend a LOT more time on that moment, making sure it looks good.
I can't stop laughing from those silly mistakes from the film crew amd your editing, is the chef's kiss.
When i started watching your video, i felt like i was going to see at least 4 mistakes that i already seen on youtube/internet but i was really surprised that i had seen 10 new original mistakes that you found.
I have been watching your video with a great pleasure, thank you!
I can't imagine how carefully you must have looked to find these mistakes considering most of them appear on screen for less than a second

Yeah, they play a banana peel slip sound when Nedry rolls down the muddy slope. Gets me every time!
@@isaacfortnersuicide not allowed
well. He is a tech nerd. I doubt he collected lots of driving experience throughout his life. Especially under the weather conditions on action at that time. Also he was in a hurry and quite excited as well. In the book its mentioned he only has like a few minutes to "steal" the jeep, get to the dock and return, so noone will notive he stole anything/was up to something shaby.
He is a very human character in that scene.
Reading through all the comments, the people who really love the movie blindly, are defending all the mistakes. L😂L
Don't worry, 😎 blind lovers 😎 ,we all agree, it is a *"Great Movie"* 👌
Especially for nineteen ninety three 🤗 👏👏👏
"..or maybe they took the same shortcut"
That got me laughing really hard. :D
16:26
There is something that is just so wholesome about this guy. He has a sort of innocence that is really adorable. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending because it’s a compliment. 🙂
Nedry may be a terrible driver, but at least you can see at 11:12 that he had 4WD engaged! It's the icon furthest left of the cluster right next to his shoulder.
You can also see the joysticks for the searchlights mounted on top of the Jeep off to the right.
The drop at the T-Rex paddock, actually has an explanation, but it is not included in the final release of the movie. If you take a look at the demo reel that Phil Tippett did for the stop motion version of the scene, the T-Rex pulls the car further down the road. The drop is at that location, like a hill going from the bottom up to the goat. This was not in the movie, but it was in the first drafts of the storyboard. Which also explains why they could get down so fast, they simply took the hill route. 🙂Of course, it looks weird in the final movie, and it always bugged me.
The other thing is they used a wide angle lens which compresses the distance so it looked like the rex broke out right next to the kids car when it broke out next to the adults like 40 feet back.
The T-Rex didn't push the cars further, because if you look at the fence posts and wires, you can see the cars are always in the same exact place and didn't move at all. It's the drop that appears from the nothing.
@@Gaua1 again, as I said, it is a wide angle lens optical illusion. The explorer was way further down the road, probably where the moat they mention earlier in the film is supposed to be. The only real inconsistency is the height of some trees seen in other shots vs when the truck is thrown over the cliff.
@@Gaua1 As I wrote: In the original script, the T-Rex pulls the car further away. That is where the drop is. The movie does not show this, which makes the drop appear as if it comes out of nothing. There is no explanation for the drop in the movie, but there is an explanation in the original storyboard.
@@scottb3034 The "moat" mentioned is the concrete wall, not the drop. The concrete moat is completely visible. Those concrete moats can also be seen as zoos around the globe. The drop itself is not the moat but a drop near a hill. But yes, the Rex did push the explorer to the concrete moat over the cliff.
Love that you are focusing on movies again! Også dejligt på den danske kanal:)

You are very good at finding mistakes..
I really enjoying watching 😊
Ever since I was a kid and watched it for the first time I always wondered about that huge drop in the T-Rex enclosure, never understood how the T-Rex managed to get over it. My conclusion was just that I was a kid too young to understand what the adults that made the film wanted to show.
Yeah the T. rex broke out where the goat was. Which was not a huge drop off. So makes the whole idea of concrete moats pointless.
IIRC In the book and in the original storyboards when the rex flipped the car and started pushing it in circles, the cars were supposed to be on a slight hill so she was actually pushing it a bit further down the road before she pushed it over the concrete and that is where the drop she pushed it over is.
@@Skyfire_The_Goth thanks for the info
@@Skyfire_The_Goth But why would there be a second hole in the fence at that point? The only hole was created by the Rex escaping.
@@ivaneames4354 Not a second hole, the wires slipped through their eyelets, the wires were not attached to the fence posts, they were threaded through eyelets (metal rings) attached to each post. This is demonstrated perfectly after Rexy breaks the wires, we see the wires fall through their eyelets next to the car Grant and Malcom were in.
Makes me wonder how many of these mistakes such as seeing wires pulling and such, were purposely left in because it was inconsequential at the time, it would've been tough to see it with the resolution back then. Now with everything remastered, stuff like that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Plus you also have to remember if you were a viewer in 93 watching this, you would not be so focus on the mistakes we seen now. You be more amazed, shock, and scared when seeing the wow factor and be so amazed an entrance by the film you would not even focus on it. Like even now if you have this film on DVD or streaming serves, and even if you knew all of these mistake you would not really notes them, your so focus on film in where it wants the viewer to look you never pay attention to the mistakes.
Two examples, one being when they go through the massive gate, your more focus on the cars passing through the gate, cause that where the director wanted your eyes to focus on, the second example the raptor attack, on one of the workers in the first film. When the camera is zooming it, on the guy being held my mauldoon. It wants you to focus on that guy and not the empty cage where ya can see his legs laying on the ground. It sorta a trick directors use to get the viewers to focus, on a specific scene and not what going on around the scene.
Nice too see you upload on this channel again!
Great job and commentary
By the way, that deluxe trailer was sweet.
This just shows how good they really are, becuase chances are 99.9% of people did notice any of these mess up . Not the first time, second time, or last itme. Once watched and shown here Im kind of blown away by how in the world didnt I notice any of these....? LMAO. Just showing how good they really are, that something can be so obvious in your face, yet you dont notice it at all.
The main mistake I noticed was when the T-Rex was eating the goat leg, you can briefly see the sprinklers spraying the water acting as rain. I’m not sure if you noticed that or not.
and the goat leg disappears and reappears during different camera angels.
@@joeystoney3678 if I were the T-Rex, I would find that very concerning. Not nearly as concerning though as a complete Velociraptor disappearing from my mouth.
Great video, and very refreshing to see so many mistakes I haven't heard of before. As I understand it Steven Spielberg deliberately created that huge drop at the T-Rex enclosure because he thought that would make for a better movie. It's probably also why Lex is turning on the flashlight in the car. It doesn't really makes sense, but who cares? Usually the audience won't catch this sort of thing on their first viewing because they're so caught up in the story and the awesome special effects. Your eye just doesn't go there first, and mr Spielberg knows it. I love it how a movie with so many 'mistakes' ends up as my favorite movie of all time.
Surely the disappearing bag could be easily explained. There might have been a brief shot of Dennis putting the bag down on the ground by his side, but that was then edited out, perhaps for reasons of the movie's overall running time?
Yeah he was definitely nitpicking with the whole bag thing… Like seriously man common fucking sense.
I love reading about goofs in movies, but this class of goof (“person holding wine glass, then not holding wine glass”) is completely unsatisfying. We have to allow that the characters are alive and will move about, perform actions, etc that the viewer does not catch. That’s real life. There is simply no need to show Dennis putting the bag down. That’s what the character and the actor would do.
You might as well complain that someone flew from Los Angeles to NYC in 2 minutes, since the didn’t film the whole flight.
@@albertbatfinder5240 i agree, some mistakes are not important at all. Script supervisor is a god damn hard job tho. But as a script supervisor myself, when an actor ask you "did i put my knife down after this line?" you better have an answer. You can't say "honestly we don't care it'll be cut with editing" in front of the whole crew.
In the end of a day it was just a movie .. a masterpiece movie ... But good job don 🙌❤️❤️
"There is a lot of weird sh1T in this scene"
I laughed so hard the way he said it and implied it🤣
That drop at the end was the only thing I ever noticed, but I noticed it the first time I watched it. I was like "how did the Trex climb that?"
Even I noticed the miraculous 100 ft. drop in the Rex pad as a kid, and it ate at me all these years! Thank you for pointing that out!
You don't want things eating at you in that movie! :)
@@pp312 Right? Somehow, you’ll end up inside the stomach of a mosasaurus. Even though it was a T. rex that ate ya!
That really wasn't a mistake they had a storyboard completely planned out to explain how it came about. It isn't flawless with the shots in the movie because obviously they didn't really make it but from a continuity aspect, it's explained
As a CG artist myself I can't help but nit pick at the VFX as well especially the skinning and weight painting in some of the dinos. But this was a product of its time and I generally don't mind it and give it a pass since its one of my favorite movies.
A lot of cgi these days can't get it right either, somehow they can't give creatures the right weight feel and let them move way too fast.
in fairness these were the first photo real cgi animals on film. and from effects artists that had never done cgi before.
Fun Fact: because the artists had only ever animated clay models in stop motion, and physical puppets, before, they invented the D.I.D., Dinosaur Input Device (later renamed the Digital Input Device). literally little robot dinosaurs articulated the way actual dinos would be, but with sensors all over them hooked into their computers running the cgi animation programs. this allowed them to animate the dinosaurs by moving an actual puppet, frame by frame, and recording the movements.
I dunno if its still in use today, but be cool if it was. i know it was used heavily in starship troopers, tho modified to allow for fluid live puppeteering.
@@RaptorNX01 it’s like motion capture, but stop motion
I literally just watched JP on Netflix yesterday lol. To this day remains in my top 5 of all time, with all its glorious *Doug DeMuro* “quirks & features” lol

Jurassic Park is my all time favorite movie. This video was interesting.

Yes

I was mesmerised by the beautiful scenery and the whole concept, so I didn't notice any of these mistakes. The scene with the raptors in the kitchen truly terrified me! When I became an extra in movies and adverts later on, I became a lot more conscious of things like this, and it spoilt a lot of movies for me afterwards😅 I must make a point of watching it again, and see if I can pick up what you noticed!
Suspension of disbelief. We can forgive the most outrageous mistakes or plot holes, as long as the movie is good enough.
When you get to thoes rapters keep an eye on the one pushing through the door BIG mistake there there's a hand on the rapters arss lol
You missed at least 4 of what I can think of. When the helicopter first lands on the island on the helipad, you see the jeeps near the helipad, next shot, you see the jeeps reversing up near the helipad.
When Elle runs for the power generator tunnels when the raptors are stalking them, she jumps over the same tree trunk twice.
When Dennis turns rogue & steals the dinosaur embryo's, some names of species of dinosaur are misspelled.
The scene where Tim & Lex are hiding from the raptors in the kitchen, the shot when a raptor is in a doorway, you can see the animatronic operator's arm steadying the raptor
About the misspelled names: In the book, Malcolm talks about how Dr. Wu doesn't even know the names of the dinosaurs he is creating. I'm not saying the misspelling is intentional, but if you want an "in-universe explanation", there it is.
yeah and in the kitchen scene theres moment when tim is crawling through the floor where another raptor has direct eyesight to tim yet doesnt see him
Errors are possible But not like errors that occurred in the movie jaws for steven spielberg Even jurassic park has him too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vid my dude Thx 👍😊👍
the digital effects are off yes, but they were so well done ahead of their time that even today you have to slow it down to even notice it, very impressive for it's time
Great video, I like these older movies where they actually built up the sets as the visitor center etc. Must have been so cool to actually see them in real life when they were making the movie. Or being inside one of those sound stages with all the whole set, with t-rex, lightning, rain etc goes off at the same time, that would be awesome to watch.
Also, these early adopters of 3D and real graphics in movies, what a load of work to do. Impressive how they could render everything with such good quality, on a dos-machine with no computer-power if you compare to what people got in the gaming-pcs these days. Even today when you watch newer movies, you can see how bad the graphics can be, and as said, compare a computer from 30 years ago with todays technology, they should be able to make it alot better, but guess they stress alot to cut the cost today compared to before.
At the 12:30 mark, with the light in the background, there are wires on front of the car when it's turned over. In the prior shot, there were no wires on the right side (now the left when it's turn over). In the shot from a different angle (12:40) the wire is gone.
Excellent video! Another goof that has always bugged me was during the baby raptor hatch scene. The robot arm is there one second, then is gone the next.
But the sudden cliff at the TRex paddock is definitely number one.
I loved the antenna rotoscoping mistake. I love the movie-making process, and understand and can forgive most of the mistakes mentioned here. Although, finding "mistakes" can also show you how some scenes were created, and are fun to do. Among the more unforgivable mistakes, like the drop-off at the T-Rex paddock, there is one big mistake you missed. The cars that go through Jurrasic Park are supposed to run on a track. Yet, there is nothing going between the cars and the track. There are a few scenes where this is clearly visible.
Like you, I have nothing but respect for all of the hard work that went into making this wonderful movie. Too bad with so many movies now, they don't put in the required work to make the movies appear realistic.
The cars were not supposed to be functioning like old slot cars but like a sophisticated contract-free guiding system, most likely utilizing magnetic scanners looking for the track under the vehicles and giving inputs to the automated steering system. A very elegant solution.
@@LKDesign I do love it when fans feel the need to make up a cover story for an obvious mistake in a movie. "A sophisticated contract-free guiding system" wasn't mentioned anywhere in the movie, unless you saw something that I did not. If you have evidence for this, please point out the exact time code where this is visible.
Your young age perhaps makes you want to grasp at straws that aren't there. But I saw this movie when it first came out in 1993. A breathtaking masterpiece of CGI blended with real effects. But even the best movies have mistakes. This was one of them.
1993 technology... I might believe you had this movie came out this year, or even in the past decade. Yes, we give them a pass when it comes to making up things like the ability to clone dinosaurs from petrified mosquito blood tens of millions of years old, but that is because they explained it in the movie.
Great Job. Looking forward to more of your work.
Wow! I must have seen this movie a hundred times! And the only mistakes i ever noticed are the same ones i saw at the cinema in '93... the fences not going far enough, (including the tyrannosaur paddock,) the fact that they could fit through the fence instead of climbing over it, that cliff at the tyrannosaur paddock, (that drove me crazy...) and the one that i thought for certain you would mention... because you showed it a few times... the Helicopter windows. Made my eyes bleed! Also, from memory, there appears to be a dent in the helicopter when it is landing for the first time. not sure what's going on there. But all things considered, it is still right up there with the best movies of all time 👍👍
3:33 it’s not camouflage, it’s a grid filter that helps to narrow the lighting. But good catch, anyway!
There was a very obvious mistake that you did not mention. In the T-Rex breakout scene the car holding Tim and Lex has the door open due to Gennaro exiting the car. But when the camera moves to the perspective of Alan Grant’s car the car door is shut. Then when the T-Rex approaches Tim and Lexie’s car the door is closed again.
Wish I saw this before I posted lol
Also in that scene you can see loads of strings attached to the car but he only mentions the string that pulls the car.
I did notice that but, my attention was so preoccupied with what they wanted us to watch, I never really called it out. It only felt off for a split second and I didn't pay it any real attention. I bet every A list movie has some continuity errors.
Tim had to re-close the door when the Rex's head was near the door.
We need a top 10 video of things Niki missed.
"Maybe they just took the same shortcut as Tim" XD Brilliant!
Continuity errors are innumerable in this movie. You could make a top 100 or 1000 list of those. But still a masterpiece!
This movie revolutionized the way we view dinosaurs as these intelligent, fast moving creatures that did more than just eat and fight, it also was the first movie to depict the undeniable fact that the theropod dinosaurs walked with their backs to the air and their tails providing balance instead of these upright creatures with their tails dragging along the ground
One thing that always annoyed was how blatently wrong the (smaller) dinosaurs were depicted: Velociraptor was way smallerin RL; Deinonychus would've been the appropriate species! Not even mentioning how wrong Dilophosaurus was :facepalm:
And - eventhough knowledge came only in later years, but still never corrected in later episodes: NO FEATHERS??!
One of my favorite mistakes from the movie is in the end Rex scene. When the do the drawn back shot of the Rex with the first raptor in its mouth and the plastic curtain is visible on camera, the Rex has no shadow. The sunlight from the opening is flooding the floor under the Rex’s feet. As for the drop at the Rex paddock, there are mentions of moats around all of the paddocks, and the storyboards show that the moat at the Rex paddock comes up to road level in the center.
Even when I was a kid watching this I never understood the last one. There is no drop on any of the shots and then suddenly there is a huge drop where the t-rex pushes the car down. I’ve always found it confusing and didn’t understand the concept😅
I hate things like this in movies. It's like we're supposed to be swept up in the action and forget the discontinuities. But you always question it afterwards, and it makes the effort seem amateurish.
There is supposed to be a drop, it's in the original novel from which the movie takes a huge inspiration. I mean the movie is a clear novel adaptation, so yea. But they are supposed to cyrcle the island and end up back at the T-rex paddock from the other side. It's not supposed to be the same place from earlier. How they still can see the now empty goat stand is a mystery, but probably added for more dramatic effect, or something. You see, when Hammond finally gives the order to call the cars back, they aren't supposed to reverse all the way, they still drive forward and the cars can't turn 180, because they follow a single track laid in the ground, so they run through the whole "observation road" (only in fast forward mode) and during Nedry's embryo theft they stop back at T-rex, but this time from the other side. That's why there's supposed to be a drop, they end up in a different place, not the same from the morning. At least that's in the novel. They messed it up in the movie by showing different scenes during the storm and later during the search party, one time there's no drop, other time there is that drop. The drop should be there always! How the T-rex managed to get up? Well it's a huge dino, I guess. Or maybe took a small detour, the terrain might allow it. I don't really know, but in the book the drop really is there.

You missed something. In the scene where denis encounters the dilophasour. When it sprays it’s paralysing goo on him. When he puts his hand on his chest to pull it off, you can clearly see that he put it on himself and just pulled it off.
i saw it in 2000 but i ignore that

I'm a big fan of Jurassic Park and never noticed any of these mistakes. You are very meticulous. I don't know why after spending millions of dollars to produce movies like this the studios do not hire people like you to scrutinize the final product before it gets released. Excellent video!
in the movie studio’s defense, the movie came out in 1993 and was released on VHS and before 720p was a thing let alone 4K. Get a VHS copy, VCR, and a tv from the 90s and see if you spot all the mistakes here. A lot of these mistakes you have to go frame by frame to spot them. Minus the continuity errors
Plus most people didn't pick everything apart back then. I was expecting to see something more substantial.@@mauricecooper9016
Interessting Never noticed but still a masterpiece
I usually do not comment of videos, but your commitment to this video is impressive. It is entertaining to watch and your attention to detail and the way you explained things were remarkable .
Plus I do not get some of these comments. You were respectful of the movie while pointing our the mistakes. Plus you acknowledged that fact that the special effects on this movie are ahead of its time!
Great job finding all this stuff. Cameras and crew in shots are always going to happen due to reflections. Some of the fences not going anywhere was just sloppy set construction work that didn't accounting for how wide the shot would be, so maybe the camera/director is to blame here too.
The mistake I always see are the cables lowering the Explorer when Grant and Tim are climbing down the tree, they are so obvious on a re-watch I can't un-see them now. They could pull the vehicle up and down as needed, its being winched the whole time for safety reasons (duh). In fact some of the branches appear "rigged" to break as they pivot on hinges. The security video was a clearly a QuickTime movie playing, anyone who used a Mac back in those days would recognize it immediately... I sure did.
Not a mistake: the money bag was dropped beside Dennis when he looks up amazed at the trick shaving cream can, he is giddy with excitement so much so he forgets about the money, for a minute. The bag is likely sitting right next to his chair on the ground.
The cliff drop behind the T-Rex paddock never made sense - was the Rex going to scale the wall to eat the goat? Ummm no. I wonder if this was a case of them scripting the car falling out of the tree scene then forgetting they weren't on a cliff. I see others have posted explanations about this, but sorry its a mistake plain and simple regards of the edit IMHO.
If it needs an explanation, it was a mistake.

Kitchen scene- wide shot of the Raptor in the doorway, you can see a hand reach out to keep it steady and in one of the scenes you can see the raptor looking straight at the kids
And when the soup ladle falls off the kitchen unit, you can see the hook moves, as if it's on a mechanical actuator
And…. All the dinosaurs are FAKE!
Boo!!!!
The fans one is not necessarily a mistake. The power is on. Only select features were turned off. The power was fine in the kitchen and dining lounge.
The plexiglass one is not an error because it went too far. It is an error because the plexiglass broke in two and the rex animatronic lost a tooth.
wow you did an AMAZING job with this. when I was a kid this movie seemed so PERFECTLY advanced and was advertised so well, almost like a perfect product, like the production crew was magic. but you have revealed so many things that were overshadowed by the hype. Some of it is just so crappy, like with the Nedry scene where he is just playing video files?!? amazing how that was considered acceptable for such a high budget film. And I love that you pointed out how most of this was due to low resolution monitors. You are probably right about that.
first like
Also the robot hand diapears during hatching scene and nothing connects the SUVs to the track honestly great video legit entertaining
I have seen a lot of videos on mistakes within jurassic park, This one is hands down the most detailed and best video on the topic.
You forgot to mention that Stegosaurus was misspelled when Nedry was stealing the DNA samples. Also, when the brachiosaurus was eating leaves, it was chewing them. The brachiosaurus didn't have molars, so it couldn't chew. Also, Ellie jumps over the same tree more than once when Muldoon tells her to run. Despite the mistakes, it remains one of my favorite movies. Mistakes be damned.
We're talking about technical mistakes here, the brachiosaurus chewing leaves was a scientific/accuracy error not a technical error in the movie.
The biggest mistake being the trex breakout scene! The T rex gets out on level ground at first but when it comes to the car being pushed over the edge.. its a huge drop? Glad this was covered :)
Watch Klayton Fioriti’s video. It’s been explained
@@ChicagoMel23 Which one? I have seen alot of his content.. not sure which one im looking at though.. link?
@@ChicagoMel23 It hasn't the goat on the chain scene shows theres no large channel/ moat and the t rex at one point stands directly behind the fence. Its just a continuity error that I think even Speilberg says doesn't really matter.
I gotta say none of these mistakes take away from the movie, in my book, small stuff like this is totally acceptable. As long as they dont distract from the movie while your watching it, its no big deal
Great to watch. I remember the drop appearing behind the wall when i first saw Jurassic park, the rest I missed :)
That's crazy, it's my favourite film in of all time and all the mistakes I seen you don't mention haha seen a few more now though that I never noticed before. Good video brother.
The bunker was not the same but the railing is in the maintenance shed
14:49
This was before the era of digitally removing the mistakes. This film has many small mistakes/errors, but this does not take away from the experience at all. First time watching you won't even recognize them. It is still one of the greatest movies of all time.
Let's do Back to the Future!
Top movie mistakes back on bbc 3 in the day was sick! Good video bro
These are so great. At 9:33 you can see the pink towel on the counter behind Hammond along with two glasses that appear beside the sink in the next shot.
If the Explorers are returning back to the visitor centre, then there would be a tunnel in front of the breakout scene. The electric road tracks also disappear in the jungle chase scene where there should be a tunnel, so the T.Rex wouldn’t be able to chase them if there was one. Also don’t forget about the hand on the raptor in the kitchen doorway. Or the changing B pillars in the Explorers.
Still love the movie.
There's miles and miles of paved/unpaved "service roads" mentioned in the book. I would think the gas powered Jeep uses one of these in the movie too
Going back or returning but not returning back. That's tautological.
@@nicolaimadsen7036 Yep. And also they aren't reversing the same road, the electric cars can't even turn 180, because they have to follow a cable in the road. Which means they aren't at the same place, when they stop at Rexy's paddock, they are on the other side of the paddock. That also explains the sudden drop, that's there during the storm, but wasn't, when they observed the goat in the morning. How they still see the goat stand is beyond me, perhaps added for more drama, maybe the stand was higher and the terrain allows them to see it from the other side as well. Really don't know. But in the book they "return" to the T-rex paddock from continuing the tour (only in fast forward mode, skipping any other dinos), probably same goes for the movie. Yes, there are mistakes with the drop appearing and disappearing suddenly during the storm and later, but it's supposed to be there. Its "sudden" appearance isn't a mistake, its sudden "disappearance" is.
The rex breakout was an optical illusion. The wide angle lens compressed the distance in the shot to make everything appear close together. The rex broke out 50 feet away from the kids car, right next to the adult explorer. Which is why it could step out there just fine. The kids were where the "concrete moat" in the rex paddock is located. Which is what was talked about earlier in the movie.
no they fucked it up
Yeah, I figured it was depth of field thing too.
Great video. Let me add another mistake (this is for animators!): at 12:27 you can see a short displacement of T-Rex foot for just a few frames. That's a common mistake when doing CGI animation. The curve of the X axis for the foot did a jump right next to the keyframe of the animation. That is fixed by adjusting the curve in the graph editor. So, there you go!
I love your work and your sense of humor. Thanks so much for this and all of your other videos.
You are a genius my friend! Well done! You have a sharp and keen eye for detail!
It's crazy how you even noticed these things. I guess when you're caught up in the action of this movie, none of these mistakes pop out.
I have an explanation for the giant drop. So basically the Trex enclosure is on a hill. The T. rex broke out at the top of the hill, which explains how it just walked on out. Grant and Lex fell a little ways down the hill, where there was drop. The workers never bothered to pave up the hill and instead built a platform. This is why the hill isn’t the same elevation as the road
If it's just a hill, why didn't Grant and the children just walk up that hill in the morning? Save themselves the trouble of being electrocuted by a fence?
Segur
The drop in the Rex attack scene would make sense if they left in some deleted footage. Where the goat is and the cars stopped is ground level but the story boards show (and even the fence in the daylight) a significant drop by the tunnel exit...that's the concrete moat Genaro and Hammond are discussing in the Jeep. The Rex pushes the car away from level ground and towards the moat drop. This is also how Muldoon and Ellie are able to get down to see the other car.
Exactly. Additionally, the paddock that the Explorer gets pushed into isn't the Rex paddock itself, but the adjacent one. The funny part is that this _has_ to be the Brachiosaur paddock, as Grant and the kids see the longnecks that night - had they wandered in from another paddock, it wouldn't have been until the next day; ergo, Brachiosaur paddock. How the raptors got from their paddock all the way to the Brachiosaur paddock and back in time to be caught and transferred to that feeding paddock is only explained in the book, but the tracks Grant finds are identical to the raptor tracks that Muldoon finds.
That said, another movie mistake is in the scene where the various programs are starting to shut down: one of the monitors features a map of the park and each paddock, and flashes as the fences for each are turned off. As the tour is presented, however, the paddocks listed don't match the dinosaurs we see. The tour goes, Dilophosaurus, T. Rex, Triceratops - and then the cars turn around somehow and stop back at the Rex. The map says that the Triceratops paddock comes before the Rex, but that's not what's shown. Moreover, the paddock immediately before the Rex (the one that the car gets pushed into) has to be the Brachiosaur paddock.
The original script included what would have been a thrilling scene of Samuel L Jacksons character being killed by velociraptors, there was a full story board drawn out depicting the scene. Unfortunately due to the movie set in Hawaii being severely damaged during a storm the scene was never filmed and was in turn omitted from the movie.
@@clarenceboddicker6679 yeah it sucks his death scene had to be cut. All the raptor death scenes in the books are gruesome!
@@hanburgundy4317 In addition to your "research" (great work btw, haven't paid attention to that myself), they aren't supposed to reverse back to the Tyrannosaur (as people may think), they cyrcle the island (skip the rest of the road in fast forward mode) and come back to Rexy from the other side. The cars can't even turn 180 as they only follow a single track in the ground of the road and everything runs automaticaly by a program. So the place they stop at during the storm (and Nedry's embryo theft) is supposed to be a different place on the other side of the island, still adjacent to the Rexy paddock. Maybe seeing the now empty goat stand was added for more drama like "oh god, the goat is gone, that means the T-rex is comming!" something like that. But they are definitely supposed to be on the other side of the paddock. Like if in the morning they saw the south side, during the storm they should be on the north side (or the other way, or any way eitherway lol).
I'll never forget, watching it when it came out, at our local drive-in. It was a rainy night.
Absolutely amazing.
We, and the kids l loved it.
🇨🇦🎄
yea that T-rex paddock drop was always my gripe.. like HOW TF did the Trex get out of that? lol.. good video.. didn't notice most of these.. i'll have to rewatch this and laugh...
This video brings to my mind the stupidity of people who believe landing to the Moon was a fake. Guess what? It would be so easy to find artificial walls and backgrounds with the same attention to details
I was an avid movie goer for decades and my only interest was is being entertained. Considering the complexity of creating a movie, mistakes are inevitable and I expect that many were discovered and corrected during the process. It may be mildly amusing for a minority of people to discover these mistakes but they don't detract in any way from the ceativity, imagination and talent required to bring them to the 'silver screen' and the experience of fans such as myself to suspend belief and immerse themselves in film.
The mistake count in Jurassic Park is as big as the Dinosaur.
i love that you initially made a disclaimer about the movie being made in the 90s when technology was not that perfect. But when I was watching this as a young movie buff, I was able to suspend my disbelief. It still is a masterpiece for me. Spielberg is really a genius for being a pioneer in special effects. Thank you too for the this...
Good content, keep up the good work!
I think the drop in the t-Rex paddock was the most obvious mistake
Except it wasn't a mistake
