No lie, this was the first thing I saw Samuel L. Jackson in, and I remember thinking, “Man, I like this IT guy.” His character is just an exposition machine, and yet he had such personality. Later I saw the trailer for Pulp Fiction and thought, “Hey, it’s that guy from Jurassic Park!” It’s been awesome following his career over the last 28 years.
Same! JP was actually my first time seeing all these actors and actresses. I love it because I just see them as the characters they play--and not the actors/actresses.
I love how Sam rattles off the Lysine Contingency line like he’s actually reading out of the employee manual. In any other context, it would feel absolutely phoned in and unbelievable, but because they’re in such dire straits in this scene, it works perfectly.

I watched this movie again after so long, its truly fascinating to listen to these conversations as an adult. They make a lot more sense and are so interesting, like the lysine contingency, even if its faulty real-world science... it meant nothing when I was a kid, just another section of boring conversation before the dinosaurs. But now...

In 1:57 we humans can't manufacture lysine as essential amino acid unless it was given through diet which usually contains meat. I mean some plants do have additional lysine values but never exceeds the quantity at which meat provided. Which means yeah These Dinosaur are more or less like us human being. The intake of Lysine In vegetarian diets(in this case veggie dinosaur), is less due to the limiting quantity of lysine in both Crops and shrubs compared to meat. Unless the island provided an ample amount of lysine resources, and in this case Leguminosae they can survive. In this case there are plants that supply the required nutrients in isla sorna. I love the Nutritional and Genetic sciences detail they give in the movie. Unless what samuel L jackson meant is that Dr wu Engineered the dinosaur with incapability of Lysine extraction from feed.
+David Colantuono It's a joke, dumbass. Referencing Samuel L. Jackson's iconic line from Snakes on a Plane, and the fact that Jackson is in THIS movie.
@@davidcolantuono3622 you don’t remember the scene where he takes out large guns and heads outside alone to shoot as many raptors as he could before they ripped his arms off???
Even in the book poor Arnold got the short end of the stick. He had worked for fifteen hours straight up until the incident happened. Then he was awake for another 15 to 20 hours before he died. Constantly working.
The book makes it evident that a big reason why Jurassic Park was doomed to happen was because Hammond in the book (who is a VERY, very different character than the Hammond in the movie) is a cheapskate and a douchebag. He constantly overworks and underpays his employees, and the whole reason Nedry even decides to betray InGen is because he along with Arnold are given the near-impossible job of creating Jurassic Park's automated system (by far the most ambitious and complex of any theme park in the world) without being given enough information and the worst part is that Hammond isn't even willing to offer them compensation or ovettime pay for the extra time and effort they spend fixing all the deficiencies and bugs in the system that inevitably appear when its makers are constantly fatigued when programming and designing a system that they don't even have the full details of, due to Jurassic Park's secrecy. Nedry in the book is still a rude asshat, but they make it a very big point in showing that he isn't betraying the park just because of greed, but because he has legitimately valid grievances with his job. Everyone in the park's staff from Muldoon to Ed Regis to Arnold are all given jobs they haven't bargained for and Hammond basically leaves them to clean up the mess he made. Arnold (or any of the staff for that matter, including Nedry), didn't deserve to die the way he did after all Hammond and the Park put him through.
@rap2xtrooper878 also, the park is primarily run on computers. They made an effort to employ as little employees as possible. While this may have helped to maintain secrecy and reduce the number of casualties to animal attacks, it has a limitation. When Nedry leaves, there is only one person who can operate the system, that is Arnold with the exception of Dr Wu. Another mistake, I would say contributed to the failure of the park is that Dr Wu used DNA from variety of animals and didn't think it was a problem. He explained in the book that DNA has not evolved much in the last few hundred million years. All species possess a significant portion of the DNA that is the same with some differences that make them unique. Dr Grant mentioned that frogs being able to change sex was a recent discovery. Maybe, they were so busy trying to create the park as quickly as possible, they forgot to read research papers on this topic.
Cool? He's character was freaking out about shutting down the system hahaha he went mental, and it's a shame we didn't see his death he'd act really well I think XD imagine a raptor rippin off he's arm and he's screaming and trying to run away hahaha
+Generalkidd You're the first person I've come across to notice that. lol the film was filmed in 1992 so at that time Windows 3.0 was just starting to put Microsoft Windows on the map. Silicon Graphics were quite good in their heyday, shame at what happened to them. did you ever use a silicon graphics system?
Well they did use a Silicon Graphics powered render farm and several workstations to generate the groundbreaking CGI in this film. Seems logical that they would reference the company in the film, especially the line about "this is a Unix system" later on. Didn't they run on Unix orginally?
If the brand name survives long enough, soon they'll have to rename it to Carbon Graphics. IBM's working on carbon CPUs to get around the issues of quantum tunneling.
Ok since people seem interested I'll crap some computer facts about this movie. (It was a great computer movie) The computers used in the movie were apple macs and SGI boxes can't remember which ones The supercomputer used in the background was not a prop it was a Connection Machine 5 (the ones with the red flashing lights) and they modified the dialog from the book to reflect this (Dennis nedry says something like he networked 8 connection machines and says he needs more money) It's only interesting because they used Cray YMPs in the books but the CM-5 was so much nicer looking they probably changed it and dropped their name as part of the deal., Also the 3d interface they used when lex says "this is unix I know this" was FSN file manager which was actually included with SGI boxes presumably as a fun way to showcase the system's 3d capability. And thar you go all the computers of jurassic park!
Honestly Jackson smoking is what drove me at 6 years old to steal some of my brothers cigarettes and smoke them while saying "access main code filing" or some shit like that lol.
There was originally an extended dialogue in this scene regarding the lysine contingency that did not make the final cut if the film. They actually go into much more detail about it , ellie asks the question how long does it take for it to take effect , to which Arnold says its already in effect but can take around 5 days to completely incapacitate the dinos. They then have a longer debate around shutting down the system to which hammond then says ''People are dying, will you please shut down the system?''.I always thought this was a little bit random and out of place, as Hammond is suddenly standing in another part of the room when he was standing with Ellie previously. The deleted dialogue would explain this, hence why Hammond is a little more angry compared to the begining of the scene.
So are we to assume the offspring of all these adult dinos didn't get effected by the lack of lysine? Cause all these dinosaurs would be dead and there would be no sequels. What am I missing?
In the actual book, Crichton describes how Jurassic Park is run by a fully automated, almost A.I.-like, computer system that was fully integrated into every aspect of the park, from lighting, to phones, to electrical fences and security cameras. The full reboot required essentially shutting off the entire park.
the whole engineering-software side of JP is totally underrated; people just talk about the dinos, but the movie was also about (then) state-of-the-art early '90s technology and how fragile it really was (is?)
Missing/deleted dialogue from IMDB that takes place after 2:03: Muldoon: What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect! Dr. Ellie Sattler: What's that? John Hammond: That is absolutely out of the question. Ray Arnold: The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die. Dr. Ellie Sattler: How could we cut off the lysine? Ray Arnold: No real trick to it. Just stop running the program, leaving them unattended. Dr. Ian Malcolm: How long before they become comatose? Ray Arnold: It would be totally painless - they'd just slip into unconsciousness and die. Dr. Ian Malcolm: How long until they slip into unconsciousness? Ray Arnold: Hmm... seven days, more or less. Dr. Ellie Sattler: Seven days? Seven days? Oh, that's great. Clever! Dr. Ian Malcolm: That'll be a first - man and dinosaur all die together. John's plan. John Hammond: People. Are. Dying! Mr. Arnold, will you please shut down the system. Ray Arnold: OK, but... you asked for it. Hold on to your butts! [switches the mainframe off]
@@compass_Matt 2 million lines is a joke these days. Windows updates are usually tens of millions of lines of code, more than the entire Operating system Jurassic Park uses.
Glad I read the book, Hammond was such an idiot. He didn't count on the guy who essentially created the system to stab him in the back. No back up plans, nothing. I was actually a little disappointed after reading the book because they made movie Nedry seem a little bumbling. He was pretty brilliant in the book and Hammond had to have the best. In the book they explained that Nedry didn't just betray Hammond because he was straight up offered. Hammond pissed him off by not standing by their agreement. He brought Nedry in and brushed off his complaints. Too bad he pissed off the best.
***** The book is so much better (as awesome as the movie is) Nedry was made into a bit of "comic relief". Hammond wasn't an idiot, he just counted on being smarter than everyone else. Plus he was basically trying to cut corners too, stiffing the IT guy was just part of that.
Mike M Yeah, they really messed up Nedry's character. Of course to make him a bumbling villain for the movie. I still think Hammond was an idiot, but moreso an opinion of his personality. I really couldn't stand him and his temper tantrums. Only after reading I realized how much they changed Hammond for the movie. Made him more palatable. Like a wannabe Walt Disney or something.
***** Hammond was an asshole, and a shortsighted one at that. In the movie he's a short-sighted optimist and a visionary, I wouldn't call the movie version an idiot, but I think that's an apt description of the novel version (again I'd say his much greater characteristic is his a-hole-ness). I recently read the book for the first time and I remember the gradual realization of this. Having seen only the movies up to that point I held onto the movie version of Hammond for as long as possible but then the way the book described him slowly started to show in how the character acted and it was impossible to imprint the movie version onto the novel version.
Zoidberg412 I agree. I think they made Hammond the way he is in the movie because he would be more sympathetic for the audience. If they stuck to how he was in the book, everyone would want him dead. In the movie he comes across almost father-figure like. Where you know he means well, but he's still in the wrong. I think Malcolm was the only one they kept true to his character. I haven't read the book in a long while, though. :)
***** Not necessarily an idiot. Just a dreamer. He let his vision cloud his judgement and made way too many cuts to try to make it past the finish line.
The Fandom Menace -- I'm sure that was the intention. Since Malcolm is hell-bent on questioning the morality of the park (and to some degree, Hammond). While Malcolm doesn't vouch for God, he does vouch for man... and what better way to do that than have a character dressed all in black recreate that infamous artistic piece?
I love how at 0:30 when Hammond asks Muldoon to find the children , you can tell Muldoon doesn’t care what happens anymore. Just “ sure “ and walks off. He seemed to be on edge about the park the whole time and now his concerns became reality. His “ sure “ reminds me of when you’ve done a lot at your job and your boss asks you to do one more thing.
Earlier today, I would’ve said the same thing. But another commentator pointed out something that completely changed my view of that bit of dialogue. Fair warning though, it’s a dark as hell theory. All Hammond knows is that his grandchildren are in a Jeep, broken down in front of the T Rex paddock (his last line in a previous scene was to ask where the cars stopped) with the fences off. It’s quite possible that he wasn’t asking Muldoon to bring them back alive. He was asking for some body parts for him and his daughter to bury. Which makes Muldoon’s “sure” sound a lot like sympathy to me. Ps I just watched it again on my tv rather than the tiny phone screen from before and I’m convinced now. Mr Arnold had to call his name twice to get his attention and he had tears in his eyes. He definitely thought they were dead.
I've always noticed, John Hammond, plays the 'People are dying' card, because he doesn't want to discuss the Lysine Contingency, which would destroy his Dinos. It's subtle, but that's why this first movie was a classic. All the subtle, layers, that don't over explain everything.
After Malcolm he’s probably the most interesting character, he has this good guy grandad outward vibe but a lot of his decisions are dangerous and/or willingly ignorant. His actions contradict his words so often.
@@Jim90117 Yeah, the "road to hell is paved with good intentions", "wanted to do something cool & make people happy, but was way out of his element" kinda guy. In any case, WWWAAAAAAAYYYYY more likeable/lovable & nicer in the movie version! I freaking HATED book!Hammond.
I think it's more of an epiphany on John's part, given the conversations he had with Ellie a few scenes before this. He realizes that his awesome dream has become a terrible nightmare, & the only thing that matters now is getting his beloved grandchildren & friends to safety. But, MAYBE, that's just me...? *(shrugs)*
He wasn't playing a card. There is some dialogue that was cut from the scene where it's pointed out that Lysine starvation wouldn't incapacitate the dinosaurs until much later, so he was simply stating that the urgency of their predicament disqualifies that solution.
@@DMalltheway AK's aren't powerful enough for many of the dinos and you couldn't guarantee they hit their targets anyhow. You'd need tranq or explosive collars on anything larger than a dog .
For all the “computer experts” in here saying simply powering down the system wouldn’t work. You obviously never read the novel. Michael Crichton, the author, was an experienced C language coder and knew his shit. In the book Nedry executed a certain back door command that turned off the park security systems so he could steal the embryos. When he got back from the dock, he was going to issue a second command that reversed the effects of the first one and erased his keystrokes. He never came back, so Arnold had to go the key logger to find the initial command. There was an update to the system that only let you turn off the keylogger manually by flipping a switch on the mainframe that Nedry didn’t know about, which is how Arnold found the command. Eventually Arnold also found the second command that restored the security systems, so he activated it. Everything came back on except for the phones, which Arnold didn’t anticipate. They reset the system to turn the phones back on, it had nothing to do with Nedry’s plan.
Also, they successfully reset most of the system, but as they hadn’t shut it down before they didn’t realize that the startup only included the backup generator because the main generator required a heavy charge to start. This created two problems - the fences were only running on auxiliary power and were therefore kept off, and as the backup generator only had a few hours of fuel it eventually ran out and the whole thing collapsed. The computer did send out multiple warnings but apparently Arnold was too distracted and exhausted to spot them.
so sad, after he reboots the system he’s so happy, all he had to do was go to the maintenance shed to turn it on for the whole park, and a velociraptor killed him in there.:(
Interesting fact: the Silicon Graphics minicomputers you see in this scene were the same ones used to render the dinosaurs and perform digital manipulation of the original film.
That scene of John Hammond after Muldoon and Ellie have left and while Mr. Arnold is trying get his attention, with that music, sends shivers down my spine! Such an underrated scene, I'm surprise no body talks about it.
This scene plays out somewhat differently in the book. While hacking the system, Nedry does tell it to disable key check, but he doesn't realize that key check can only be turned off at the main control panel. So Arnold is able to find out what white rabbit object does.
Never noticed during the "Lysine Contingency" scene Muldoon seems deep in thought before he mentions "we could put that into effect". Hammond scolds him as if to say "people are dying" NOW and you want to slow kill the dinosaurs??? But it looks like Muldoon is realizing how out of hand it may get and is thinking more long-term to undo the entire catastrophe. Such a good movie.
@@KookinHaole that's what I'm saying. It's like Muldoon was having a vision of how out of control things would go and the loss of power was part of it. While they were all working on the short term problem he seemed to be in deep thought about the long term problem.
I just realised that when Hammond asked Robert to bring back his grandchildren he thought they were dead and he was asking for their bodies. Now that’s dark
I literally just dropped my phone in shock reading that! (Don’t worry, it only fell a few inches onto my bed, it didn’t break) That is seriously dark, you’re right. God, imagine if they were dead. The poor man, especially since he invited them. His poor daughter too. In the middle of a divorce and her children killed at the same time.
Could be interpreted that way of course. But at that moment he doesn't think not either have the confirmation that his grandchildren are dead since he doesn't even know at that moment that the T-Rex escaped. He realizes that all the visitors are in great danger and want to do something before it's too late.
People always comment on how much detail the movie/book went into regarding things like the computer, OS versions being used, and other details. However this was Michael Crichton's way. He always researched the background on his fictional book. If you ever look at the references he uses, he would study EVERYTHING he was talking about in detail. The reason he did this was because he wanted his fictional books to seem real. As if they could POSSIBLY happen in our world. It's what made reading his novels so compelling, the fact that the detail lent an air of credibility to the situation and made you invested in reading the book.
I recently finished the book and my god was it very intriguing. Like what you said, Crichton went out of his way to study these scenarios and he was certainly right. Jurassic Park as a theme park would have failed no matter the outcome. I'll try to invest in the lost world novel.
@@divinelangene6813 Yes he does, but in the book Hammond is much more sinister and doesn't show much care or concern for anyone, much less his own grandkids. Movie Hammond is not nearly a villainous as novel Hammond.
Did anyone notice the ladder at 1:08 used by Grant and the others later in the movie, when they escape from the raptors? Spielberg put great attention to details in this movie.
The scary thing is that while they were dealing with the Dinosaurs and trying to find Nedry, nobody on this island expect for him knew that Biosyn was involved. It pretty much shows how competent of a villain Lewis Dodgson, especially 28 years later and he's still at large with nobody suspecting a thing, not even Grant, Malcom or Sadler.
Props to Muldoon, Hammond asks him to go out and get his grandkids and rather than ask questions or bitch and moan, he just says “sure” and heads out. Certified bad ass.
At the beginning, _Jurassic Park_ was a modern day _Time Machine_ or _2000 Leagues_, a cautionary tale about the limits of technology and the dangers of human hubris. The first movie struck a balance between treating those ideas seriously, and treating the sciences of biology, paleontology, and computers seriously, and being a great action film with suspense, characters we cared about, and amazing special effects that still hold up today. If you expect any of that in the horrendous new reboot, prepare to be disappointed.
Dude, don't be a jerk. It does stand to reason that the sequel Jurassic World won't top the original in thematic weight and insight, even if it wanted to. I say give it a chance, it can't be worse than Jurassic Park III, or so I hope.
+Jim Halpert That's one of the main reasons why the third one suck. But I respect that movie where they're trying to make it loyal to the first one, at least.
So it just takes 4 switches to shut down the ENTIRE Jurassic Park system? lol.....also, I always thought as a kid that the stack on the left side of the table was a bunch of pizza boxes! haha
I always thought it was stupid the other compound was so far from the main room. I mean, shut down system and release all dinosaurs, THEN cross the park to turn the rest back on? Lol
@@monkeydude3987 I guess it was the only way the wires or whatever was needed to travel through the island you never know but yeah it’s bad in this case
Those switches literally aren't big enough to handle enough electricity flowing through to power the entire park. (i know because i have some formal electrical training. a circuit breaker panel with that kind of juice running through it would take up an entire wall) So they have to be relays - when you open or close them they remotely turn on or off the circuits. This is partly so systems can be controlled from a central location but also b/c turning on or off really big switches is uber-dangerous because of something called "arc flash".
With how quick Dr Hammond shot down the Lysine Contingency, it makes me think the only reason it was ever created as an option in the first place, is because Hammond was given an ultimatum by the scientists he employed. "You either let us create this fail safe, or we aren't creating your park." Hammond begrudgingly allowed them to create the Lysine Contingency fail safe because it was the only way he could create his park.
What surprised me about this movie was that Hammond didn't know, or at least didn't appear to know, that Nedry turned the safety systems off so he could STEAL the dinosaur embryos. I'm surprised hadn't didn't bother sending someone like Muldoon out to search for Nedry to either get the safety systems back on or retrieve the stolen embryos.
Yeah, but the reason why hammond didn't suspect nedry in the first place was by simply telling the lie that he implemented system updates/debugs that would "temporarily" shut down a few of the systems. Once ray sees that something is wrong with the tour program and the security systems (Electric fences) were beginning to shut down, that's when hammond began to suspect nedry of something shady, to which he requested his whereabouts to muldoon, in which ultimately ended in failure to come up to the control center, assuming he left within the evacuation boat. About the embryos, during the whole blackout, like I said the security systems shut down in which he had a small window to steal the embryos before he can make it to the boat. No one was there to suspect the theft of the unborn dinos especially with the brilliant idea to disguise it as a hybrid of a cryogenics storage/shaving cream. During the whole scenario, Hammond was simply too concerned of the well being of his guests and grandchildren to care about the stolen embryos. He just wanted nedry to come back and fix the programming that he was "implementing" when in reality it was all a rouse to rewire the system in his favor. Which is why even someone like arnold couldn't break through nedry's 2 million lines of code.
JP 1 always made me tense and excited with these scenes. Even that memorized the turn of events as a kid and till now as an adult. Idk why Jurassic World never made it feel that way. Hope they make it right in JW3.
"The animals cannot manufacture the amino acid lysine." Yeah, neither can we. We also obtain lysine from diet. It didn't look like the park was regulating what the animals eat particularly well. I don't think they would have had a problem obtaining lysine without human intervention. All the writers would have needed to do is hire one impoverished graduate student and they could've gotten the biology right. lol
Since the lysine contingency is intended to prevent the dinosaurs from damaging the global ecosystems on Earth, reversing it (like in Jurassic Park: The Game) could serve as another conflict to explore.
Lysine Contingency explains why they wouldn't have to worry about the dinosaurs at the end when they leave. Since they are no longer being given lysine by the park, they will eventually die. From what I remember reading in the novel, with the lysine no longer being supplied, all the dinosaurs will be dead within a week. However, in the sequel, it's said the dinosaurs are still flourishing because they've found a new source of lysine in certain plants.
You know they should have radios if they done that. Look the plan is just simple: One of them goes to the breakers, Arnold shuts down the system, check it works, radioed in to use the breakers, and then boom, problem solved without dealing without the raptors.
The only way I could see this working successfully without a raptor breach is if Ellie and Muldoon were already at the maintenance building ready to switch the park systems on immediately following shutting down the system at the control room in the visitors center
If you build a park full of giant toothy predators, you should be able to turn off everything from at least two seperate locations that are completely raptor-proof. Planning failure # umpteen-million.
Robert Muldoon leaving this shelter with the lady to restart the system and realizing that the raptors had scaped makes me question why he proceded to the jungle knowing about the raptors behavior, he knew they would not leave the area. He could immidiatelly have returned to the shelter , get a better plan on how to avoid to meet them or could go up on the trees to observe where were them before venturing into death.
After the first time I saw this movie around 5 or 6, I used to stick pretzel sticks in my mouth pretending they were cigs and repeat Dr. Arnold’s dialogue
I know overall his role is very small, but Samuel L Jackson is able to perfectly deliver his dialogue like he’s a computer expert. The dry expository dialogue delivered in such a monotone way yet still captivating.
I love Jurassic Park movies and watched them many times and twenty seven years after the movie released I just realized Samuel L Jackson was in the movie

Even in the book poor Arnold got the short end of the stick. He had worked for fifteen hours straight up until the incident happened. Then he was awake for another 15 to 20 hours before he died. Constantly working.
@j - k And, then, he woke up in the afterworld....
@@TheMouseAvenger no, what was left of him woke up in a pile of Dino shit
Damn I wish that small detail was in the film. It would make us emphasize with him more
The book makes it evident that a big reason why Jurassic Park was doomed to happen was because Hammond in the book (who is a VERY, very different character than the Hammond in the movie) is a cheapskate and a douchebag.
He constantly overworks and underpays his employees, and the whole reason Nedry even decides to betray InGen is because he along with Arnold are given the near-impossible job of creating Jurassic Park's automated system (by far the most ambitious and complex of any theme park in the world) without being given enough information and the worst part is that Hammond isn't even willing to offer them compensation or ovettime pay for the extra time and effort they spend fixing all the deficiencies and bugs in the system that inevitably appear when its makers are constantly fatigued when programming and designing a system that they don't even have the full details of, due to Jurassic Park's secrecy.
Nedry in the book is still a rude asshat, but they make it a very big point in showing that he isn't betraying the park just because of greed, but because he has legitimately valid grievances with his job. Everyone in the park's staff from Muldoon to Ed Regis to Arnold are all given jobs they haven't bargained for and Hammond basically leaves them to clean up the mess he made. Arnold (or any of the staff for that matter, including Nedry), didn't deserve to die the way he did after all Hammond and the Park put him through.
@rap2xtrooper878 also, the park is primarily run on computers. They made an effort to employ as little employees as possible. While this may have helped to maintain secrecy and reduce the number of casualties to animal attacks, it has a limitation. When Nedry leaves, there is only one person who can operate the system, that is Arnold with the exception of Dr Wu. Another mistake, I would say contributed to the failure of the park is that Dr Wu used DNA from variety of animals and didn't think it was a problem. He explained in the book that DNA has not evolved much in the last few hundred million years. All species possess a significant portion of the DNA that is the same with some differences that make them unique. Dr Grant mentioned that frogs being able to change sex was a recent discovery. Maybe, they were so busy trying to create the park as quickly as possible, they forgot to read research papers on this topic.

Silicon Graphics were quite good in their heyday, shame at what happened to them. did you ever use a silicon graphics system?
Well they did use a Silicon Graphics powered render farm and several workstations to generate the groundbreaking CGI in this film. Seems logical that they would reference the company in the film, especially the line about "this is a Unix system" later on. Didn't they run on Unix orginally?

Ok since people seem interested I'll crap some computer facts about this movie. (It was a great computer movie)
The computers used in the movie were apple macs and SGI boxes can't remember which ones
The supercomputer used in the background was not a prop it was a Connection Machine 5 (the ones with the red flashing lights) and they modified the dialog from the book to reflect this (Dennis nedry says something like he networked 8 connection machines and says he needs more money)
It's only interesting because they used Cray YMPs in the books but the CM-5 was so much nicer looking they probably changed it and dropped their name as part of the deal.,
Also the 3d interface they used when lex says "this is unix I know this" was FSN file manager which was actually included with SGI boxes presumably as a fun way to showcase the system's 3d capability.

There was originally an extended dialogue in this scene regarding the lysine contingency that did not make the final cut if the film. They actually go into much more detail about it , ellie asks the question how long does it take for it to take effect , to which Arnold says its already in effect but can take around 5 days to completely incapacitate the dinos. They then have a longer debate around shutting down the system to which hammond then says ''People are dying, will you please shut down the system?''.I always thought this was a little bit random and out of place, as Hammond is suddenly standing in another part of the room when he was standing with Ellie previously. The deleted dialogue would explain this, hence why Hammond is a little more angry compared to the begining of the scene.
Yes exactly. That dialogue is still available on IMDB even if it didn't make the final cut.
Now that makes sense. I’ve seen this film hundreds of times and that part always seemed off to me.
Ah that makes so much more sense. Hammond’s “people are dying” response to Sam Jackson seemed completely out of place
So are we to assume the offspring of all these adult dinos didn't get effected by the lack of lysine? Cause all these dinosaurs would be dead and there would be no sequels. What am I missing?
Cheers dits
In the actual book, Crichton describes how Jurassic Park is run by a fully automated, almost A.I.-like, computer system that was fully integrated into every aspect of the park, from lighting, to phones, to electrical fences and security cameras. The full reboot required essentially shutting off the entire park.
Including shutting down the raptor fences.
Yes and I remember Grant going to restart the generators

Muldoon: What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect!
Dr. Ellie Sattler: What's that?
John Hammond: That is absolutely out of the question.
Ray Arnold: The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: How could we cut off the lysine?
Ray Arnold: No real trick to it. Just stop running the program, leaving them unattended.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: How long before they become comatose?
Ray Arnold: It would be totally painless - they'd just slip into unconsciousness and die.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: How long until they slip into unconsciousness?
Ray Arnold: Hmm... seven days, more or less.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Seven days? Seven days? Oh, that's great. Clever!

@Maximus And Dennis Nedry always plays a fat guy.
Glad I read the book, Hammond was such an idiot. He didn't count on the guy who essentially created the system to stab him in the back. No back up plans, nothing. I was actually a little disappointed after reading the book because they made movie Nedry seem a little bumbling. He was pretty brilliant in the book and Hammond had to have the best. In the book they explained that Nedry didn't just betray Hammond because he was straight up offered. Hammond pissed him off by not standing by their agreement. He brought Nedry in and brushed off his complaints. Too bad he pissed off the best.
***** The book is so much better (as awesome as the movie is) Nedry was made into a bit of "comic relief". Hammond wasn't an idiot, he just counted on being smarter than everyone else. Plus he was basically trying to cut corners too, stiffing the IT guy was just part of that.
Mike M
Yeah, they really messed up Nedry's character. Of course to make him a bumbling villain for the movie. I still think Hammond was an idiot, but moreso an opinion of his personality. I really couldn't stand him and his temper tantrums. Only after reading I realized how much they changed Hammond for the movie. Made him more palatable. Like a wannabe Walt Disney or something.
***** Hammond was an asshole, and a shortsighted one at that.
In the movie he's a short-sighted optimist and a visionary, I wouldn't call the movie version an idiot, but I think that's an apt description of the novel version (again I'd say his much greater characteristic is his a-hole-ness).
I recently read the book for the first time and I remember the gradual realization of this. Having seen only the movies up to that point I held onto the movie version of Hammond for as long as possible but then the way the book described him slowly started to show in how the character acted and it was impossible to imprint the movie version onto the novel version.
Zoidberg412
I agree. I think they made Hammond the way he is in the movie because he would be more sympathetic for the audience. If they stuck to how he was in the book, everyone would want him dead. In the movie he comes across almost father-figure like. Where you know he means well, but he's still in the wrong. I think Malcolm was the only one they kept true to his character. I haven't read the book in a long while, though. :)
***** Not necessarily an idiot. Just a dreamer. He let his vision cloud his judgement and made way too many cuts to try to make it past the finish line.

The Fandom Menace -- I'm sure that was the intention. Since Malcolm is hell-bent on questioning the morality of the park (and to some degree, Hammond). While Malcolm doesn't vouch for God, he does vouch for man... and what better way to do that than have a character dressed all in black recreate that infamous artistic piece?
That's a really interesting way to put it. I never thought of it like that.
Jeff, uh, finds a way...
I love how at 0:30 when Hammond asks Muldoon to find the children , you can tell Muldoon doesn’t care what happens anymore. Just “ sure “ and walks off. He seemed to be on edge about the park the whole time and now his concerns became reality. His “ sure “ reminds me of when you’ve done a lot at your job and your boss asks you to do one more thing.
Earlier today, I would’ve said the same thing. But another commentator pointed out something that completely changed my view of that bit of dialogue. Fair warning though, it’s a dark as hell theory.
All Hammond knows is that his grandchildren are in a Jeep, broken down in front of the T Rex paddock (his last line in a previous scene was to ask where the cars stopped) with the fences off.
It’s quite possible that he wasn’t asking Muldoon to bring them back alive. He was asking for some body parts for him and his daughter to bury.
Which makes Muldoon’s “sure” sound a lot like sympathy to me.
Ps I just watched it again on my tv rather than the tiny phone screen from before and I’m convinced now. Mr Arnold had to call his name twice to get his attention and he had tears in his eyes. He definitely thought they were dead.
@@ghostmadlittlemiss yea could see that too
@@ghostmadlittlemiss OMG, that is a very dark -- but nevertheless touching -- theory! I never really thought of it in that light before...
I've always noticed, John Hammond, plays the 'People are dying' card, because he doesn't want to discuss the Lysine Contingency, which would destroy his Dinos.
It's subtle, but that's why this first movie was a classic. All the subtle, layers, that don't over explain everything.
It also means that they cant wait for the dinos to start dying off while there's people out there getting killed
After Malcolm he’s probably the most interesting character, he has this good guy grandad outward vibe but a lot of his decisions are dangerous and/or willingly ignorant. His actions contradict his words so often.

I think it's more of an epiphany on John's part, given the conversations he had with Ellie a few scenes before this. He realizes that his awesome dream has become a terrible nightmare, & the only thing that matters now is getting his beloved grandchildren & friends to safety.
But, MAYBE, that's just me...? *(shrugs)*
He wasn't playing a card. There is some dialogue that was cut from the scene where it's pointed out that Lysine starvation wouldn't incapacitate the dinosaurs until much later, so he was simply stating that the urgency of their predicament disqualifies that solution.

For all the “computer experts” in here saying simply powering down the system wouldn’t work. You obviously never read the novel. Michael Crichton, the author, was an experienced C language coder and knew his shit. In the book Nedry executed a certain back door command that turned off the park security systems so he could steal the embryos. When he got back from the dock, he was going to issue a second command that reversed the effects of the first one and erased his keystrokes. He never came back, so Arnold had to go the key logger to find the initial command. There was an update to the system that only let you turn off the keylogger manually by flipping a switch on the mainframe that Nedry didn’t know about, which is how Arnold found the command. Eventually Arnold also found the second command that restored the security systems, so he activated it. Everything came back on except for the phones, which Arnold didn’t anticipate. They reset the system to turn the phones back on, it had nothing to do with Nedry’s plan.
Bravo, thank you fellow techie!
Also, they successfully reset most of the system, but as they hadn’t shut it down before they didn’t realize that the startup only included the backup generator because the main generator required a heavy charge to start.
This created two problems - the fences were only running on auxiliary power and were therefore kept off, and as the backup generator only had a few hours of fuel it eventually ran out and the whole thing collapsed.
The computer did send out multiple warnings but apparently Arnold was too distracted and exhausted to spot them.

Never noticed during the "Lysine Contingency" scene Muldoon seems deep in thought before he mentions "we could put that into effect". Hammond scolds him as if to say "people are dying" NOW and you want to slow kill the dinosaurs??? But it looks like Muldoon is realizing how out of hand it may get and is thinking more long-term to undo the entire catastrophe. Such a good movie.
Isn’t that contingency already in effect?
Like? How was it relevant to their current discussion regarding the power?
@@KookinHaole that's what I'm saying. It's like Muldoon was having a vision of how out of control things would go and the loss of power was part of it. While they were all working on the short term problem he seemed to be in deep thought about the long term problem.
I just realised that when Hammond asked Robert to bring back his grandchildren he thought they were dead and he was asking for their bodies. Now that’s dark
I literally just dropped my phone in shock reading that! (Don’t worry, it only fell a few inches onto my bed, it didn’t break) That is seriously dark, you’re right.
God, imagine if they were dead. The poor man, especially since he invited them. His poor daughter too. In the middle of a divorce and her children killed at the same time.
Could be interpreted that way of course. But at that moment he doesn't think not either have the confirmation that his grandchildren are dead since he doesn't even know at that moment that the T-Rex escaped.
He realizes that all the visitors are in great danger and want to do something before it's too late.

Props for including the CM-5 super computers with the blinking LED in the background
People always comment on how much detail the movie/book went into regarding things like the computer, OS versions being used, and other details. However this was Michael Crichton's way. He always researched the background on his fictional book. If you ever look at the references he uses, he would study EVERYTHING he was talking about in detail. The reason he did this was because he wanted his fictional books to seem real. As if they could POSSIBLY happen in our world. It's what made reading his novels so compelling, the fact that the detail lent an air of credibility to the situation and made you invested in reading the book.
I recently finished the book and my god was it very intriguing. Like what you said, Crichton went out of his way to study these scenarios and he was certainly right. Jurassic Park as a theme park would have failed no matter the outcome. I'll try to invest in the lost world novel.

I love how he never, and I say, never stops smoking that 🚬, this makes the scene more intense.
At the beginning, _Jurassic Park_ was a modern day _Time Machine_ or _2000 Leagues_, a cautionary tale about the limits of technology and the dangers of human hubris. The first movie struck a balance between treating those ideas seriously, and treating the sciences of biology, paleontology, and computers seriously, and being a great action film with suspense, characters we cared about, and amazing special effects that still hold up today.
If you expect any of that in the horrendous new reboot, prepare to be disappointed.

it's like shutting off the breakers in your house.
I always thought it was stupid the other compound was so far from the main room. I mean, shut down system and release all dinosaurs, THEN cross the park to turn the rest back on? Lol
@@monkeydude3987 I guess it was the only way the wires or whatever was needed to travel through the island you never know but yeah it’s bad in this case
Those switches literally aren't big enough to handle enough electricity flowing through to power the entire park. (i know because i have some formal electrical training. a circuit breaker panel with that kind of juice running through it would take up an entire wall)
So they have to be relays - when you open or close them they remotely turn on or off the circuits. This is partly so systems can be controlled from a central location but also b/c turning on or off really big switches is uber-dangerous because of something called "arc flash".
@@JCarey1988 That means when electricity jumps gaps, right?
With how quick Dr Hammond shot down the Lysine Contingency, it makes me think the only reason it was ever created as an option in the first place, is because Hammond was given an ultimatum by the scientists he employed. "You either let us create this fail safe, or we aren't creating your park." Hammond begrudgingly allowed them to create the Lysine Contingency fail safe because it was the only way he could create his park.
Muldoon should have gone with Arnold when he went out to the maintenance shed.
Still to this day this line is stuck in my head of the guy saying "Auh Auh Auh"
What surprised me about this movie was that Hammond didn't know, or at least didn't appear to know, that Nedry turned the safety systems off so he could STEAL the dinosaur embryos. I'm surprised hadn't didn't bother sending someone like Muldoon out to search for Nedry to either get the safety systems back on or retrieve the stolen embryos.
Yeah, but the reason why hammond didn't suspect nedry in the first place was by simply telling the lie that he implemented system updates/debugs that would "temporarily" shut down a few of the systems. Once ray sees that something is wrong with the tour program and the security systems (Electric fences) were beginning to shut down, that's when hammond began to suspect nedry of something shady, to which he requested his whereabouts to muldoon, in which ultimately ended in failure to come up to the control center, assuming he left within the evacuation boat. About the embryos, during the whole blackout, like I said the security systems shut down in which he had a small window to steal the embryos before he can make it to the boat. No one was there to suspect the theft of the unborn dinos especially with the brilliant idea to disguise it as a hybrid of a cryogenics storage/shaving cream. During the whole scenario, Hammond was simply too concerned of the well being of his guests and grandchildren to care about the stolen embryos. He just wanted nedry to come back and fix the programming that he was "implementing" when in reality it was all a rouse to rewire the system in his favor. Which is why even someone like arnold couldn't break through nedry's 2 million lines of code.
@@shadow50435 adding that he saw Nedry as a idiot so he was lightyears away of imagining that he could had made such a nasty plan.
JP 1 always made me tense and excited with these scenes. Even that memorized the turn of events as a kid and till now as an adult. Idk why Jurassic World never made it feel that way. Hope they make it right in JW3.
They wont. Trust me, they wont. It wont have the suspense thriller as this one.
@@Amp661 Very wise predictions.
2:04.. gets me everytime. 🤣
I used to laugh so hard at that bit as a kid lol
I always thought it was an amazing shot of him! The dramatic close up with the intense stare lol
Adrenaline rush
What amazes me is that it took them so long to realize they had to go out and rescue Malcolm, Grant and the kids
Hold on to your butts! - Words to live by
"The animals cannot manufacture the amino acid lysine."
Yeah, neither can we. We also obtain lysine from diet. It didn't look like the park was regulating what the animals eat particularly well. I don't think they would have had a problem obtaining lysine without human intervention. All the writers would have needed to do is hire one impoverished graduate student and they could've gotten the biology right. lol
That is actually one of the underlying problems of the park
This is one of the problems addressed in the second book, which reveals how many problems "Behind the scenes" that the park was having.
You're implying a fictional novel/movie has the same protein synthesis as reality? Lmao.
it's impressive he spoke all the words without losing the cigarette.
The place looks so beautiful , and the environment seems so nice
how can he talk without dropping that cigarette? Illuminati confirmed!
Man... Hammond is just mad that Nedry left since crap pay... And that he finally found his forever partner, rockin the Jeep allllll night 😈😵🤣🤣
0:58 During Jurassic Park 3D, everyone in the theater clapped at that part XD
0:58
Ellie: How many lines of code are there?
John Arnold: *About 2million*
😂 💀
Newman screwed up the computers.
Newman!!!
leafyutube hello........ newman
foobar42 foobar...foobar! We got foobar here!!!
leafyutube and he also caused all that havoc around Jurassic Park
Since the lysine contingency is intended to prevent the dinosaurs from damaging the global ecosystems on Earth, reversing it (like in Jurassic Park: The Game) could serve as another conflict to explore.
Lysine Contingency explains why they wouldn't have to worry about the dinosaurs at the end when they leave. Since they are no longer being given lysine by the park, they will eventually die. From what I remember reading in the novel, with the lysine no longer being supplied, all the dinosaurs will be dead within a week. However, in the sequel, it's said the dinosaurs are still flourishing because they've found a new source of lysine in certain plants.
Arnold and Muldoon were two of the coolest characters in the movie. I wish they hadnt died.
I love how Samuel L Jackson looks nothing like Sam L Jackson in this movie.
Loved these scenes in the Control Room.
Happy 90th birthday Hammond !
He is dead now, he was a great actor. He loves dinosaurs and will enhance that theme park. R.I.P. Love ya.
"Will you PLEASE shut down the system?"
I guess he said the MAGIC WORD.
You know they should have radios if they done that. Look the plan is just simple: One of them goes to the breakers, Arnold shuts down the system, check it works, radioed in to use the breakers, and then boom, problem solved without dealing without the raptors.
The only way I could see this working successfully without a raptor breach is if Ellie and Muldoon were already at the maintenance building ready to switch the park systems on immediately following shutting down the system at the control room in the visitors center
If you build a park full of giant toothy predators, you should be able to turn off everything from at least two seperate locations that are completely raptor-proof. Planning failure # umpteen-million.
0:41 John Williams's classic getting-ready-for-action theme.
somehow i feel really anxious seeing that cigarette going up and down as he speaks
Robert Muldoon leaving this shelter with the lady to restart the system and realizing that the raptors had scaped makes me question why he proceded to the jungle knowing about the raptors behavior, he knew they would not leave the area. He could immidiatelly have returned to the shelter , get a better plan on how to avoid to meet them or could go up on the trees to observe where were them before venturing into death.
That lady's name is Ellie Sattler. ;-)
After the first time I saw this movie around 5 or 6, I used to stick pretzel sticks in my mouth pretending they were cigs and repeat Dr. Arnold’s dialogue
I know overall his role is very small, but Samuel L Jackson is able to perfectly deliver his dialogue like he’s a computer expert. The dry expository dialogue delivered in such a monotone way yet still captivating.
He can multitask, especially with his cigarette flapping around...
These are some of my favorite scenes, just the science shit.
I can't get jurassic park back on line without Denis Nedry
Me: come on Fury you have two smart gyes in your time you can just call Stark
his name is ray Arnold, dimwit. and this is 1993.
I know.
I m talking about him being Nick Fury and not knowing who to fix a computer with Tony Stark in the same world.
BTSISTAR FF he won't get Jurassic Park back on line
Tony stark can fix computers but he can't rewire an entire island in 5 minutes.
I love Jurassic Park movies and watched them many times and twenty seven years after the movie released I just realized Samuel L Jackson was in the movie
I never knew Jules Winnfield worked at Jurassic Park
That Lysine contingency is actually pretty smart
Except Doctor Laura Sorkin fixed it for the Superorder Dinosaurs
Nedry really does not realize what danger he is puts himself and everyone else in to with what he will do. He is so greedy and only thinks of money.
Wow! Shutting down the whole computer systems & switching the main switch back on.....was basically reconnecting WiFi system into the old computers back in the day. 🖥️⌨️🖱️🖨️💾 Jurassic Park 1 film was ahead of the times. 🎥🎞️🎬🕓
