For the vocalizations of the male Tyrannosaurus, pigs and "weird Costa Rican mammals", mammals that Gary Rydstrom and his team recorded, but never knew what their identities were, had a similar screech like the baby elephant used for the females and were used in place of the latter. The original Tyrannosaurus roars from Jurassic Park (1993) were also re-used for the female Tyrannosaurus. See more »

After the released Triceratops smashes the conference tent in the InGen base camp, it stands over a flame for a moment before charging to the left. As it passes over a cowering workman there is a clear error in clipping in the CGI tail of the creature as it jumps from being in the background to the foreground over the workman's head. See more »

Very good sequel to Jurassic Park finds Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblem) in a race against time to save his girlfriend(Julianne Moore)and stop Ingen from taking dinosaurs off the island in order to take them state side for their own Jurassic Park. While the wow factor is gone from the first movie, the intensity is up considerably with some of the best action, tension and humor of the series. Goldblem once again commands the screen as the audience guide and it's voice of reason and the special effects manages to even out due the first movie by leaps and bonds. The late Richard Attenborough and Pete Postlethweite rounds out the cast in this very worthy follow up. Its definitely The second best entry in the Jurassic Park series and the best follow up to the original Jurassic Park
