Storyline

Dr. Alan Grant is now a happy man with the previous incidents of Jurassic Park now behind him. Grant is that happy that he announce in public, that nothing on Earth can persuade him back onto the islands. Maybe nothing, except Paul Kirby. Kirby and his wife, Amanda want a plane to fly them over Isla Sorna, with Dr. Grant as their guide. But not everything Kirby says is true. When the plane lands, Dr. Grant realizes that there is another reason why they are there, that he doesn't know of. Now, Dr. Grant is stuck on an island he has never been on before, with what was a plane journey now turned into a search party. Written by Film_Fan

Trivia

The Einhorn 20mm, the large weapon used by the mercenaries, was actually a Barrett M82A2 Bullpup sniper rifle, developed for the U.S. military, but never adopted. See more »

Goofs

While celebrating Eric's return, Eric explains he followed Mr.Kirby's cell phone jingle. Then they turn around to see a Spinosaurus standing there. It would have been impossible for the Spinosaurus to have gotten there unnoticed since a T-Rex creates impact tremors with every step when it walks and a Spinosaurus is bigger, according to Grant, than a T-Rex. It is also impossible for it to have been there the whole time since no one seemed to notice it standing there. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Enrique Cardoso: Here you go, my friend.
Ben Hildebrand: Make sure you get as close as you can! I'll give you something extra if you make it a good trip!
Enrique Cardoso: Hey, I'm gonna get you close, my friend, but not too close, eh. You don't want to be eaten.

Crazy Credits

The opening credits of "Universal Pictures Presents" and "An Amblin Entertainment Production" and then the title "Jurassic Park III" don't appear until right when the end credits are done. See more »

Alternate Versions

After the brief encounter with the ceratosaurus, which turns its nose up at the humans and decides not to attack them, Paul Kirby (William H. Macy) says "Can't help but feel a little offended." The line was edited out for it was thought that it was inappropriately "cheesey" for that stage in the narrative. See more »

i HOPE THIS SERIES IS EXTINCT...
15 July 2001 | by DrTsaks – See all my reviews

JP1 was pretty good, JP2 was decent, and JP3 continues the horrific trend, producing a large pile of t-rex fecies. This movie was incredibly boring, unrealisitc, and just all around terrible. There is no scientific angle to it whatsoever. It is just stupid people running from dinosaurs. The only good thing about it is that it is only 90 minutes long, and I am no longer scared of dinosaurs. In fact, I find them funny. If you have insomnia and are looking for something to put you to sleep, I highly recomend this movie. 3/10
