Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Jurassic Park

    Who had the idea for creating a "Jurassic Park"?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      John Hammond. John Hammond is the man who had the idea of creating a park full of dinosaurs. They took the DNA from a mosquito from a piece of sap, hardened after time. Then they took the DNA from a frog to fill in the "gaps" in the DNA.

    Who does Dennis Nedry meet at the cafe?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      Lew Dodgson. Dodgson says "Don't use my name." Nedry replies "Dodgson! We got Dodgson here! See? Nobody cares." Dodgson hires Nedry, a programmer for the park, to smuggle some of the dinosaur embryos back to him.

    Who directed 'Jurassic Park'?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

      Steven Spielberg.

    While in San Diego, what do the Japanese tourists yell in Japanese in "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" ?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      I left Japan to get away from this.. This happens right after the T-Rex smashes the bus and destroys a sign that says "Cedar" on it. I got this information from "IMDb.com".

    Which member of the park staff is eaten by the velociraptor in the opening scene?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      The Gatekeeper. The Game Warden of the park, Robert Muldoon, has hated the velociraptors since this incident. He later shares his thoughts about them and declares "They should all be destroyed."

    Which character is seen in an amber mine at the beginning of the movie?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      Donald Gennaro. Gennaro is the lawyer John Hammond hires for the park. John Hammond wants to prove to his investors that the park is safe by having it inspected by experts and lawyers. Gennaro is his lawyer, and he also invites Dr. Alan Grant, a paleontologist (studies dinosaurs/extinct species), Dr. Ellie Sattler, a paleobotanist (studies ancient plants), and Dr. Ian Malcolm, a chaotician (scientist studying an area of mathematics dealing with unpredictable events). Mr. Gennaro is later eaten by the T-rex.

    What type of DNA, used to fill in gaps on the dinosaur DNA sequence, allows the dinosaurs to breed in the wild?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      Frog. Some types of West African frogs can actually change their sex in a single-gender environment. The genes used to engineer the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park allow the dinosaurs to breed even though they were originally all female. Dr. Grant realizes this when he finds a velociraptor nest in the park.

    What plant is Ellie worried that the triceratops has been eating?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      West Indian Lilac. This is an important scene because this is the first time the characters get to see any of the animals up close. This is also one of the many scenes where Dr. Malcolm's (played by Jeff Goldblum) funny yet unbelieveably cynical personality is showcased. Throughout the movie, he points out, with dry humor, the faults and errors in the way the park has been thoughtlessly made. Although for much of the movie he and the others on the island are facing death, he can still muster the ever-hilarious "I told you so." Ellie Sattler: "These are West Indian Lilacs. This is toxic." Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Harding: "We know, but the animals don't eat them." Ellie Sattler: "You sure?" Harding: "Pretty sure." Ellie Sattler: "There's only one way to find out. I'd have to see the animal's droppings." Ian Malcolm: "I'm sorry, did you say dino droppings? Droppings?" (They walk up to the dung.) It becomes obvious at this point that Malcolm is impressed by the size of the pile and says so quite graphically.

    What percentage of stills on the back cover of 'Jurassic Park' have Dr. Grant in them (on VHS)?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

      75.

    What is the first Dinosaur the group sees in 'The Lost World?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

    What is Ian's girlfriend called in 'The Lost World'?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

      Sarah Harding .

    What is Dr. Grant's first name?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

      Alan.

    What does the chef at the park serve for lunch the first day?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      Bass . It is actually Chilean Sea Bass. Hammond mentions this as the scientists are watching the velociraptors kill and eat a cow. After the gruesome scene, Hammond walks up to the observation deck and asks "Who's hungry?"

    What colour outlines the logo of the video on the first film?"Jurassic Park" 1 And 2 (the_unforgiven)

      Yellow.

    What brand is the shaving cream container Nedry uses to smuggle the frozen embryos?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      Barbasol. He never gets the embryos back to Dodgson. Later he is killed by a dilophosaurus when the hurricane hits the island. He gets lost on his way to the dock.

    What animal is used to lure the T-rex into view?"Jurassic Park" Fan Knowledge (mrmet31)

      A goat. At two different points in the film, livestock are used to feed or lure the apparently elusive dinosaurs into viewing range of the tourists. In this scene, a goat is raised into the T-rex exhibit and Lex Murphy's disgusted reaction reveals her sympathy for animals. Lex: "He's gonna eat the goat?" Tim: "Excellent!" Gennaro: "What's the matter, kid? You never had lamb chops?" Lex: "I happen to be a vegetarian." This is right before the park's power goes out. The lights go out as the sky gets dark due to the approaching hurricane. Tim finds some night vision goggles and looks back into the exhibit. The goat is gone, but soon its severed leg falls on the car, heralding the arrival of the movie's best monster - the T-rex!

    In the video store in "Jurassic Park: The Lost World", who is on the poster to left?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      Arnold Schwarzenegger. It shows him as King Lear from his role in the movie "Hamlet." "Jurassic Park" blew this movie away in ratings.

    In "Jurassic Park: The Lost World", why don't they want to go into the inner part of the island?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      Because the more dangerous dinosaurs are there.. According to what John Hammond says, they are very territorial. John says this when he is trying to get Ian Malcolm, the mathematician from "Jurassic Park", to go on Site B. Eventually they do have to go to the center of the island to get to a camp, in order to contact the boat that has to take them to back to the mainland.

    In "Jurassic Park: The Lost World", what is the name of the ship that they go on to Site B? "Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      The Venture. Site B is the place where they grow the dinosaurs until they are big enough to be in front of an audience. John Hammond needs Ian Malcolm to go on the island. The newspapers find out about the accident they had in the park with all the dinosaurs being released. Now Ingen, the company that owns the park, has been taken away from Hammond. With the help of Malcolm and four other people, he can get it back. The name can be seen when everyone is about to leave to go on the island from San Diego, and also when they arrive back there. It's the same as the one in "King Kong". Steven Spielberg got an idea for the first movie from "King Kong". He even makes a reference to it.

    In "Jurassic Park: The Lost World", who plays the guy who gets eaten outside the video store?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      David Keopp. David Keopp did the screenplay. He is actually credited in the credits for this instead of his screenplay.

After helping Ellie Satler, a paleobotanist, get to the shed to turn all the power back on, Muldoon, the guy in charge of security in Jurassic Park, is killed by a raptor

    In "Jurassic Park", to what movie does Ian Malcolm make a reference outside the park gates?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      King Kong. "What do they got in there, King Kong?" - Ian Malcolm. He says it because the fence looks like it's supposed hold something huge.

    In "Jurassic Park III", what is the Kirbys' mistake that they make about Alan Grant?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      They think he has already been on the island.. The Kirbys, the family who lost their son on the island, know that Alan Grant, a paleontologist, has been on an island with dinosaurs but not one they were on. They need him to find their son on the island.

    In "Jurassic Park III", what do they keep saying is "a very bad idea"?"Jurassic Park" Horror (pjrgbeats)

      Brachiosaurus. This is one of the most dramatic scenes in the movie. This movie, for the most part unlike its sequels, instills a sense of beauty in the audience before the situation quickly falls apart and the action begins. In addition to being a fantastic scene in the movie, it also is a piece of cinema history as it is the first display of Jurassic Park's massive breakthroughs in computer-generated imagery.
