Goofs

(at around 1h 13 mins) When Claire and Owen are hiding from Indominus Rex in front of the old jeep, Owen leaves his rifle leaning against the door on the driver's side. Indominus initially placed its head on that same side, rocking the car back and forth several times. When Owen looks back around, the rifle is in the exact location, totally unmoved.

(at around 49 mins) When Grey and Zach are waiting for their turn in the gyrospheres, Zach is making eyes at a group of teenage girls. When it's the girls' turn to get into the ride, they all go at once. Later we see that each gyrosphere only holds two people, so only two of them would have been able to get on at a time.

Claire picks up Zach's broken phone. In the following shots, Zach's phone is still on him clearly visible in his left pocket.

(at around 1h 45 mins) When Owen is negotiating with "Blue", the Velociraptor, he puts down his rifle. In the next scene, shot from Owen's back, he is holding the rifle. The scene changes again to show Owen with both his empty hands is the air as he talks to "Blue".

The camera deliberately shows Claire's nude stiletto heels in several shots, and before she and Owen go into the gyro-sphere area, he remarks about her "ridiculous shoes", which she does not change. But in several subsequent action scenes, Claire is clearly wearing nude lace-up flat shoes.

Zach and Gray enter the old Visitor Center driveway in one of the old Jeeps that are there. This would not be possible, since in the more than 20 years since the Jeeps were abandoned, the tires would have deteriorated and gone flat, the battery would have gone dead (which is why the boys are shown replacing it), and the gas would have become a viscous, almost varnish-like, gel. In addition the heat and humidity would have rusted many of the engine components.

(at around 1h 9 mins) When exploring the original visitor's center, Gray powers on a pair of night vision goggles that have been sitting exposed to the Costa Rican humidity and jungle for over 22 years. After that much time and exposure the batteries would most certainly be dead but the goggles show no sign of battery drain.

(at around 26 mins) Gray is using a Lomography Diana mini to take pictures of the park. The Diana mini works without electricity and has a mechanical film advance. Still Gray keeps pressing the shutter consecutively without advancing the film with the wheel on its top in between each new picture.

Owen shoots at the dinosaur with a 45-70 lever action rifle. He doesn't move the lever action at all between rounds fired. Also after he reloads, the hammer is in the forward position and doesn't move when he shoots.

Throughout the movie, Owen is seen carrying a Marlin 1895SBL Guide Gun, chambered in .45-70 GOVT. This rifle is a lever-action design with a six round tubular magazine. Owen is shown firing the weapon well over a half-dozen times before reloading.

(at around 1h 9 mins) The abandoned Jeeps in this film really are the exact same Jeeps from the first movie. The incredible thing is no modifications were done to the vehicles because, astonishingly, the Jeeps really were left to rot after filming. The logos on the Jeeps haven't been tampered with in any way, they are faded as a result of the 22 years of sitting in a barn.

(at around 1h 6 mins) When Claire and Owen are at the waterfall, they head off into the jungle and are completely clean, but when they come across the abandoned Visitors Center they are coated in what appears to be mud. This is in fact the result of a deleted scene where Claire and Owen discover dinosaur dung and have to rub it all over themselves.

(at around 48 mins) After the troops fail at containing Indominus Rex and Owen's suggestion to use lethal force to kill it is rejected, he knocks all of Lowery's toy dinosaurs off his work desk, but they magically appear in their same setup in subsequent shots. However after Owen walks away and begins to talk to Masrani, Lowery can be seen in the background placing the toy dinosaurs back to their original positions.

In the film Masrani is shown flying his helicopter from the left seat. Helicopter pilots generally sit in the right seat, not the left seat. However the aircraft in the film is a Eurocopter EC130 B4 which is always flown solo from the left seat (when flying with an instructor, removable controls are fitted for the front centre seat as well).

The men flown in to hunt down the Indominus Rex are implied to have backgrounds in special operations. They carry small caliber, high velocity (SCHV) rifles such as the Sig 556 and AR15 variants, which fire the 5.56x45 round. The equivalent hunting round is the .223 Remington, which is classified as a varmint/small game round, and is in fact banned in many states for hunting deer, as it is deemed cruel for its low lethality against an animal of that size. With that being considered, it would seem unlikely that such an elite group of experienced operators would choose such weaponry against such a substantially large dinosaur - especially in an instance when killing it immediately was so pertinent.

The Asset Containment Unit was told it was a non-lethal mission. They were trying to catch, not kill.

(at around 46 mins) When troops are deployed to contain I. Rex, the control center has screens showing streaming data from their heart monitors to keep track of their status. The flatline acts as a dramatic announcement when a troop member is killed. However, all of the troops have the same heart rate and they are all at a resting heart rate - their heart rate should be extremely high during combat due to the adrenaline and physical exertion of battle.

(at around 57 mins) Riding around in the gyrosphere, the glass stays perfectly clean until meeting with the Indominus.

(at around 8 mins) From a distance in the Main Street shot of Zach, Gray, and Zara entering the Innovation Center, the three actors can be seen standing still waiting for their cue to walk.

(at around 5 mins) When Zach and Gray first arrive on the island, they are standing on the dock. There are extras that pass them on the left. The scene cuts away and returns, and some of the same extras pass Zach and Gray again.

(at around 57 mins) During the I. Rex attack of Gray and Zach in the gyrosphere, the vehicle is struck and sent spinning rapidly. The close-up of the boys suggests they feel little to no centrifugal force despite the speed of their spinning being evident from the wide shots. Their unrestrained heads remain upright and in control at all times.

(at around 1h 7 mins) After jumping over the waterfall, the two boys dry very quickly and their clothes appear to have been dried by a dryer not air dried. Also, their hair looks perfect after having been swimming and subsequently drying.

Without criticizing the CGI, the Indominus Rex's eyes too deep-set for effective forward and downward field of vision. ILM probably wasn't told about making it look downwards. It would have to turn its head sideways like a chicken to have seen Owen and Claire at the front of the jeep.

At about 1h 15 min 14 seconds and 18 seconds the actress playing Claire is seen running through the jungle in what appears to be a pair of flat shoes. (Not the often criticised high heels the character Claire wears throughout the film.)

(at around 1h 20m) When all the tourists are fleeing the escaped Pterosaurs, two women in the bottom right of the screen (one wearing pink, the other in black) appear to be casually walking against the flow on terrified people, whilst talking and gesturing to others standing to the side.

Helicopter tail rotor seen static at multiple times throughout the movie during flight.

(at around 4 mins) Stock footage of an American Airlines jet shows the old logo.

(at around 1h 12 mins) The tires on the abandoned Jeeps were the modern replacement for the radial all terrains used originally.

(at around 1h 12 mins) The Jurassic Park logo font seen on the abandoned Jeep vehicle badge differs from the logo font used on the vehicle badges seen in the 1993 original movie. The JP logo with this font variation did not come into existence until 2011 with the release of the Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy set.

When the brothers are fixing the jeep there is a Nascar style racing motor in the background. The style shown wasn't used until late 90s early 2000s.

At around 20 min 50 sec, Hoskin's coccyx is an impractical place to keep a sheathed knife.

(at around 1h 16 mins) When they are firing the mini-gun from the helicopter, the sound of it firing is the slow rate of fire of a regular machine gun, such as an M-60. It should be the high speed buzz of a multi-barrel mini-gun, which would match the rate of tracer seen coming from the weapon.

(at around 13 mins) In the helicopter trip to see the I. Rex, they talk before leaving ground and just after they land. Both times they talk at casual volume which is not possible with the helicopter running. Also you hear no sound change (blade noise) as she gets in and the door is closed behind her.

(at around 27 mins) When Karen calls Claire while she's driving back from the paddocks to the park, Claire's phone is heard ringing, but the brief close-up of her screen shows on the notification panel it's actually set to silent/vibrate.

(at around 1h 1 min) After the boys crawl out of the water after jumping into the waterfall, the ground can be seen giving in around them several times as they move, suggesting that they're lying on rubber mats covered in mud.

In the beginning of the film when the camera is panning through the Forrest of Isla Nublar, a Kookaburra can clearly be heard laughing in the background. Isla Nublar is off the coast of Cost Rica, but the Kookaburra is native to Australia.

(at around 35 mins) The control room screen shows Claire's latitude as 58N 09' 85.12". (The map ping is for Claire's "get me coordinates on the Indominus" phone call.) This is the latitude of Alaska and Norway. Isla Nublar's "real" latitude is 10°24'50"N. Also bizarre that the screen only shows lat but no longitude number, even though the text to the right reads "LAT LONG".

(at around 12 mins) Earlier in the movie, a comment is made that all of the animals are 'fitted' with a device to shock them in submission if they escape from their paddock (the device fails on the Pachycephalosaurus because their butting heads short-circuits the device). When the flying dinosaurs escape from the aviary, the device should have stunned all of them as they flew from the enclosure. Or, the humans back in the control room should have activated the device to stun the creatures instead of watching them attack the crowds.

(at around 52 mins) The gyrospheres are terribly impractical. The smooth surface of the glass sphere would provide no traction, especially for traversing hills. There is no mechanism to keep the glass doors closed. Most importantly, there is no means of ventilation. Occupants would surely suffocate after extended use.

The company would have learned from the past on escaping dinos but the dino pens only have 1 door to stop them from escaping but they have 2 for the raptor cage. I. Rex breaks out because of this failure.

It is revealed in the movie that the Indo Rex had a sister (as seen by the two eggs hatching at the start of the movie), however she ate it. Given the value of the Indo Rex species, it is illogical for InGen to raise the two siblings together. It would have been more practical to raise them in separate enclosures, particularly as the second Indo Rex was a back up in case the main one did not work out.

When the Pteranodons and Dimorphodons are attacking the crowds, the people just run up and down the street, making easy targets.

In real life people would take shelter from such an arial attack in adjacent buildings, yet none appear to do so.

(at around 55 mins) An on-screen graphic at the control center is shown when recalling the glass pods. Near the top right of a close-up of the display, the graphic clearly reads "Return Request Disbhatched" - the last word is a misspelling of the word intended to be "Dispatched".

(at around 8 mins) The DNA screen displayed behind Claire when she pitches the Indominus Rex to the business dealers, phosphorus is misspelled as "phosporous."
