This guy just needs to relax. Besides the fact that some of these errors aren't even valid, Jurassic Park is just a movie. Enjoy it for what it is. It had no problem becoming the most successful film released up to that time with these "errors" included.
What about the lawyer's arm when they were trying to reboot the island? T-Rex ate him, but it was there scaring Dr. Sattler just as she was meeting the velociraptors. :\
You can't expect a top sci-fi film to be 100% accurate. No exciting, action-packed film (such as this one) would really take much time to deem it scientifically accurate. Instant dislike.
Okay, aside from the fact that the movie is a good one and most films have errors, some of these things are not errors on the part of the filmmakers. The scene where Ellie is looking at the extinct plant is in the original book, as is the part about the frog DNA and the dinosaurs breeding.
Spielberg didn't direct the whole movie, you know. He felt it would be succesfull, which it clearly was, so he gave up his chair at the end of filming. Stop blaming this on Spielberg and the editors. The frogs probably could have changed from female to male(which they did), Ellie probably wanted Tim as far away from the raptor as possible to kepp him safe, and the door was opened, but it's not that big a deal. And you guys don't have to dislike because he found some errors, either.
yeah steven spielberg may have overlooked this stuff because he was too busy making the first movie besides Terminator 2 to use full-scale breakthrough CGI in cinema in a way never thought possible, which is what matters. stop pointing out all the flaws and enjoy it for what it is, especially a film that came out in '93. you doosh
i admit i ddint spot most of these before, but for the last one thats because it really doesnt matter. OK he gets the genders messed up but the idea is the same; the dinosaurs are changing gender in order to breed. It hardly changes all the jurassic park films. If ure going to go into scientific problems, try the impossibility of cloning from 65million year old blood, or the excessive speed of T-rex, or the misrepresentation of the 6m long dilophosaurus.
Yeah guys, lets question a FICTIONAL MOVIE. Next video question the mythical flaws of the Tooth Fairy or Santa Clause, or maybe how ET's anatomy is not scientifically accurate with a real intelligent alien. Really?
Your errors are lame, that was a good movie. And it's a movie guy, why not just say the whole thing was an error because it was all faked. They used robot puppet's and computers for the whole thing.
The last comment about the frog DNS isn't really an error. Grant is merely suggesting that a species of frog had been known to mutate when put in a situation where they couldn't mate. He's suggesting the dinos did the same thing. He's not suggesting that because a specific frog DNA was used that the dinos inhereted that ablity.
One error that always bugged me, was how the car that ends up in the tree apparently has a working steering wheel, which Grant accidentally hits, causing the wheels to turn. Why would cars that drive on a rails have a steering wheel at all?
@RSprtn117 Not only disputed, but I think rather obvious. This is apparently someone who has never handled a shotgun in their life not to know about deer slugs. I think it would be the prime ammo choice for a dinosaur park to begin with. Buckshot would likely only give a dinosaur a slight rash while I've seen deer slugs knock down small trees.
You clearly didn't think it all through. As stated in the films INGEN was reengineering other dinosaurs at Site B, ones that aren't even on their list. Plus, if they use African Frog DNA.....the chromosomes and genes within the DNA will transfer over to the reengineered dinosaurs, causing them to switch sex.
Don't u know that it's not a documentary, and that movies are made for dreamers ! go back to discovery channel small screen programms, and get a scientific life !
Of all the mistakes you picked out in the movie, you failed to see the biggest one of all. Go back and watch the scene where the cars stop outside the T-Rex paddock during the blackout (right next tot he goat). The ground on one side of the fence is level with the road on the other, yet 10 minutes later Dr. Grant and Lex are climbing down a concrete cliff face, right where the goat was. A mistake so big that many overlook it.
A female animal has two X chromosomes in each cell.
A male animal has an X and a Y chromosome in each cell.
The male frog can transform into a female because it has the "instructions" on how to form a female encoded in the X chromosome. It can stop using the Y programming that makes it a male.
A female cannot transform into a male because it has no Y chromosome. It does not have the genetic instructions on how to form a male.
@johnschulien That only applies to animals who actually have a differnce in genes when physically expressing their gender, all those reptiles whos gender is determined by temperature of the egg don't have a seperate genes for the sexes.
As I heard Alan says "some west African frogs are known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment". So why not the other way around?
BTW other mistakes are well pointed out except the plant thing. If the extinct one was a variant couldn't they have created the sequence out of the surviving variant?
I'm not defending anything here, just discussing. :)
Wow did you skip right over the obvious mistake on purpose? The t rex does move beyond the jeep, we can visually see this anyway, ok so the timing of the impact tremors are a little off but then you show in the next excerpt the t rex nudge the jeep with his head but FAIL to correlate the two shots as an apparent continuity error of epic proportions. How does the t rex end up in that position seconds later? Come on. And forget the tree. Where did that massive wall come from suddenly?
I always thought the misspellings were a joke at how inept the workers at Jurassic Park were. Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus, two of the most famous dinosaurs, are spelled wrong, but Metriacanthosaurus is spelled right! :D
Mistake 6 has beem explained by others. I also read some one say that 'raptors really were only as big as turkey's'. Well, the two main 'bad guy's were Mr. t-Rex and the velocoraptors. You can't have a scary 2 foot tall bad guy.
@ShamuKid then use Deinonychus, the raptor specie that was as big as the ones we saw in these films. but the raptor in the first film nicknamed "the big one" was six feet tall which is the size of a Utahraptor which was discovered soon after the film was made. and the two foot tall velociraptor was a pack hunter, so those guys could still kill ya easily. two would be enough to take down a grown man with those killing claws.
2/3 Mistake 4: They were well aware of the miss spelling. The shot was originally supposed to be from a different angle, and they wanted the whole word to be on camera, so they took out a N. They decided later not to use the shot. Mistake 5: Actually, that had no mean what so ever. Also, the shot was meant to show that Dennis was causing more cauos, and just decided to change the arrow the wrong way so that other characters would get it wrong if they decided to use the road. Mistake 6: This is
My dad worked on set and he explained some of these: Mistake 1: Tim does not get the shot gun because that would make the movie not end properly. What you have to understand is some movies you have to make things unrealistic to make it work. Mistake 2: They did notice the door mistake when editing, but they couldent do much about it, because the filming stuff was already over with. Mistake 3: Again, the car scene is just there, and needed to be exciting.
That could've just been a manufactured sign where they just replace the boat picture with say, a visitor center silouette, if the sign is supposed to tell what direction the visitor center is in. The design of the sign could be that they placed the circle silouette in the left hand corner by choice, as opposed to what direction the destination is in. Although we'd have to see another sign to make that call.
Extracting plant DNA from amber is problematic. Next. Allan Grant specifically states "...in an all male society". Any amphibian expert will tell you the African frog sex crossover is only male to female. NOW WHO's WRONG? I am a former member of a special forces unit and I have shot just about every small weapon in the U.S. arsenal. These are rifle holes, and a shotgun was pictured. samborghini;s comments are just BS. The errors were flagrant and many.
@earthviews Okay Mr. Special Forces, Have you ever heard of slugs? Tha shotgun was for animal control. It was probably loaded with slugs not regualr shells.
@earthviews A "spoonful of ice cream" huh? That's an error in itself. Also check my previous comment below. Here's another one: The jeeps magically reverse position at the t rex habitat. So far I don't think anyone's mentioned that. :)
@earthviews I will not question your interpretation of bullet holes because I have no experience. However back around the time when Michael Crichton wrote the book it had been reported that African reed frogs, specifically Hyperolius viridiflavus (the species that was studied), was capable of switching gender from female to male.
I'll have to defer to your expertise on weaponry, but couldn't another window have simply have been broken when we heard that glass break? The biggest problem I saw listed in your video was the door during the scene on the T-rex paddock. As far as amphibian sex changes go, the changes aren't exclusively male to female...there were studies done at least as far back as 1990 (eg Grafe and Linsenmaire's study of West African reed frogs).
@earthviews ur fucking dumb! grant say "A SINGLE SEX ENVIRONMENT" he does not state which sex it is, but i know for a fact that a society would hav to be all female. come back when u learn the facts
8:04 You state Alan says "In an all male environment one will convert to female"
9:30 What Alan ACTUALLY states is "Change sex from male to female in a single sex environment"
So your BIG error is not only wrong, but is also irrelvant and does not effect the course of the films. The dinosaurs needing Lysiene everday on Site A from the park rangers but yet the animals on Site B clearly don't require it is more debateable.
A typical continuity error. Found in most movies. Has no impact on the story, as we all know the door was open. Personally, I find the mentally challenged girl, frantically *waving* a flashlight at a t-rex, more questionable.
- Car in tree
I agree that the scene wasn't optimally shot.
- Misspelling
Misspellings happen *anywhere* to *anyone*. Even to scientists.
No, you're right. I was just trying to make a point that this specific scene made her seem autistic. A child could do a lot of unhelpful things in a situation like that (screaming would be a likely reaction), but they (the director & crew) made her wave that flashlight around like mad. She isn't even aiming it at anything.She waves it around like someone who was told to shake the flashlight for a minute.
Yah...I too noticed that your criticism isn't well thought over. A general problem with criticism nowadays. Not excluding myself. Sometimes we're just too quick on passing judgement.
- Plant
Dinos couldn't be found in amber, but insects and plants can.
- Shotgun
Typical movie nonsense as found in 99% of all action flicks. The whole scene is weak in execution.
- Window
As joggingbanana said.
- T-Rex steps
The T-Rex may have made a minor shift in place without advancing, or a step back and forth.
- finally, the frog example about how species of creatures can change sex. just because he didnt spell it out for you super specific doesnt mean it cant go both ways. most people could figure that one out on their own. what i dont get is how you never pointed out how the t-rex eats the goat and walks out of the pen, then in nearly the same spot there is a 100 ft cliff suddenly. now thats a mistake.
the tree, its a harsh angle so the exact alignment is uncertain. and your saying if a 2000 lb car was in a tree above you wouldnt get the fuck out of there? its not a ladder so a staight climb may be hard. -the dinosaurs were miss spelled, right again. -the sign, the east dock is not on the west side, all JP signs were like that. - the ice cream, really? for how much she reached she could easily get the chocolate ice cream there, you know the one with the spoon in it.
-there are actually 4 shots and the glass sounds of cracking and crunching, not shattering or youd hear the glass hit the floor. a close up of 1 of the many windows (what says the raptor didnt break another window?) and shotguns can use slugs, thats single bullets. -if you watch the perspective the left foot is beyond the cars, 2 tremors and next scene its way behind, he must have backed up. - the car door, youre right. its a mistake.
the mistakes in your mistakes... yes velocirapters were small, the size of turkeys. and they had feathers. -the leaf, well the movie isnt 20 hours long. they never say the plants come from mosquitoes, its just implying other scientific advancements in technology. -tim doesnt get the shot gun, probably because of they were in a panic and didnt think. like the guy (real life) who crashed cause the gas got stuck on the floor matt, why didnt he put the car in neutral... simply panic.
The part where Nedry crashes into the sign and then spins the sign in frustration is not a mistake. You say: "on the sign is depicted a ship in the upper-left corner, indicating the road leading to the dock is clearly on the left." All the signs in Jurassic Park are like that, with the logo in the upper left corner. Also, Nedry is travelling to the East Dock - why would it be in the North-West of the island? Not a mistake.
Oh yeah, and the 'egregious error that slipped past the people who made the film' is also not a mistake. Some species of frogs can change from female to male, as well as male to female. So it is possible that a female dinosaur can change to male to enable breeding.
it secret for decades ! thats what i love about films they let you fill i the gaps sometimes dummy it secret for decades ! thats what i love about films they let you fill i the gaps sometimes dummy
the mistakes are petit and u are sad for making a video bout it
i will state though hammond said it hed bin breeding the dinos for five years on the island how the heck did the braccioursaurus of wateva grow to that size in that time and the t rex , documentarys clearly state it would take a lot longer for full size growth of a brachioursaurus , maybe he was explaing five years for something else maybe hed
states that frogs can go either way and that XX/XY are not necessarily the sole driving factor in phenotype expression of male/female gendering.
A more credible criticism is that of the environment itself. Crichton's novel has the park being run more like a zoo with artificial food delivery. There is no way an island roughly the size of Manhattan could support viable breeding populations of these animals.
i just think the example given was a fact of something that had happened in the past 'some african frogs in an all male environment had changed from male to female', Now to relate it to Jurassic Park you use your brain and realise that if they are all girls they must transform to men? right?
lol i remember thinking the same thing as a kid when i first saw it. why doesnt timmy just hand her the shotgun. he was just standing there doing nothing
Was the Jusassic at the top intentional? I kinda feel like if you are spending time criticizing someone else's work, you should probably get your facts, and your grammer correct.
My only response to this, as someone training in the field is this. It is not real, and the film will alter real world facts to suit the world they are building. This is a survival horror, not an attempt to dramatise real world science. I would also say that your final error, Grant referring to male sex change rather than female sex change is an issue with semantics. Grant was applying it as evidence for vertebrate sex change, the gender was rather irrelevant in this case.
Ultimately, I think this is an incredible movie and any errors are vastly over-shadowed. Production errors occur, and I've long since lost an interest in factual errors in this type of movie. I would say if the movie succeds where it needs to, that's what matters. Now I will happily analyse these movies to death, and the fact the Spino attacks had no motivation behind them still drives me nuts. But, the errors in production and real world facts just don't matter in my opinion
This guy just needs to relax. Besides the fact that some of these errors aren't even valid, Jurassic Park is just a movie. Enjoy it for what it is. It had no problem becoming the most successful film released up to that time with these "errors" included.

the tree, its a harsh angle so the exact alignment is uncertain. and your saying if a 2000 lb car was in a tree above you wouldnt get the fuck out of there? its not a ladder so a staight climb may be hard. -the dinosaurs were miss spelled, right again. -the sign, the east dock is not on the west side, all JP signs were like that. - the ice cream, really? for how much she reached she could easily get the chocolate ice cream there, you know the one with the spoon in it.

-there are actually 4 shots and the glass sounds of cracking and crunching, not shattering or youd hear the glass hit the floor. a close up of 1 of the many windows (what says the raptor didnt break another window?) and shotguns can use slugs, thats single bullets. -if you watch the perspective the left foot is beyond the cars, 2 tremors and next scene its way behind, he must have backed up. - the car door, youre right. its a mistake.

the mistakes in your mistakes... yes velocirapters were small, the size of turkeys. and they had feathers. -the leaf, well the movie isnt 20 hours long. they never say the plants come from mosquitoes, its just implying other scientific advancements in technology. -tim doesnt get the shot gun, probably because of they were in a panic and didnt think. like the guy (real life) who crashed cause the gas got stuck on the floor matt, why didnt he put the car in neutral... simply panic.

The part where Nedry crashes into the sign and then spins the sign in frustration is not a mistake. You say: "on the sign is depicted a ship in the upper-left corner, indicating the road leading to the dock is clearly on the left." All the signs in Jurassic Park are like that, with the logo in the upper left corner. Also, Nedry is travelling to the East Dock - why would it be in the North-West of the island? Not a mistake.

Oh yeah, and the 'egregious error that slipped past the people who made the film' is also not a mistake. Some species of frogs can change from female to male, as well as male to female. So it is possible that a female dinosaur can change to male to enable breeding.

its already bin explained below !
the mistakes are petit and u are sad for making a video bout it
i will state though hammond said it hed bin breeding the dinos for five years on the island how the heck did the braccioursaurus of wateva grow to that size in that time and the t rex , documentarys clearly state it would take a lot longer for full size growth of a brachioursaurus , maybe he was explaing five years for something else maybe hed

This-
newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bio99/bio99128.htm
states that frogs can go either way and that XX/XY are not necessarily the sole driving factor in phenotype expression of male/female gendering.
A more credible criticism is that of the environment itself. Crichton's novel has the park being run more like a zoo with artificial food delivery. There is no way an island roughly the size of Manhattan could support viable breeding populations of these animals.

I think the point you're really missing is...
IT'S A MOVIE.
We watch for entertainment, not to analyze the logic and probability of the matter at hand.
The book in its self was criticized for errors in scientific knowledge , but who cares?
Same reason why CSI makes cases last about 2 to 3 days in span.
And why explosions don't seem to effect actors in action movies.
ITS JUST ENTERTAINMENT

What annoyed me about all three movies that there was always only ever one woman and she never got killed. Most of the men were dinosaur dinner.

i just think the example given was a fact of something that had happened in the past 'some african frogs in an all male environment had changed from male to female', Now to relate it to Jurassic Park you use your brain and realise that if they are all girls they must transform to men? right?

ok they state in the movie male to female, but they can change from female to male, they just don't say it twice.

Was the Jusassic at the top intentional? I kinda feel like if you are spending time criticizing someone else's work, you should probably get your facts, and your grammer correct.
Whoops.

My only response to this, as someone training in the field is this. It is not real, and the film will alter real world facts to suit the world they are building. This is a survival horror, not an attempt to dramatise real world science. I would also say that your final error, Grant referring to male sex change rather than female sex change is an issue with semantics. Grant was applying it as evidence for vertebrate sex change, the gender was rather irrelevant in this case.

Ultimately, I think this is an incredible movie and any errors are vastly over-shadowed. Production errors occur, and I've long since lost an interest in factual errors in this type of movie. I would say if the movie succeds where it needs to, that's what matters. Now I will happily analyse these movies to death, and the fact the Spino attacks had no motivation behind them still drives me nuts. But, the errors in production and real world facts just don't matter in my opinion

Mosquitos do feed from plantes, only females drink blood, and some species only feed from fruits.
