- TriviaThis movie and the book generated so much interest in dinosaurs that the study of paleontology has had a record increase in students.
- Goofs(at around 25 mins) The mosquito that is encased in amber, and from which the DNA sample is extracted is male. This is evident from the "bushy" look of the antennae. Female mosquitoes have far fewer hairs on their antennae, and so the distinction is easily made. Only females drink blood, as it is needed to produce eggs. There would not have been any dinosaur DNA in the male to extract. To make it worse, in that species of mosquito, Toxirhynchites, both the males and females are flower feeders, and would therefore have no blood, or dinosaur DNA in their stomachs.
- Quotes
John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
- Crazy creditsWhen it says "A Steven Spielberg film" at the end of the movie, listen closely. You will hear the slightly modified five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
- Alternate versionsThe mainland Chinese release of the 3D version (the original version was not released there) deletes the following:
- The goat chunk splattering against the tour jeep and Lex's subsequent reaction.
- Gennaro in the T-Rex's mouth.
- Dr. Satler's discovery of Arnold's severed arm.
- The raptor pouncing on Muldoon.

It has a great plot, structured of course around Michael Crichton's equally brilliant novel, and the graphics are absolutely superb. Jurassic Park, along with the sequel 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', had Dinosaurs that were actually convincing. Of course, there was some artistic license involved - certain behaviours of the animals were exaggerated or entirely fabricated - but that in no way detracts from the film. They are certainly better than those in the comparably average third instalment in the franchise, 'Jurassic Park III'. Living in the 21st century (or 20th, as it were) this film gave us a recreation of these creatures that was genuinely believable.
For all their fancy graphics and obscene budgets, films such as 'Avatar' will never compare to the likes of Jurassic Park.
