I've seen this movie countless times, but I have never understood where those letters are projecting from at 1:02 i know its the DNA sequence but where is it coming from?
i've been trying to find that high pitch screech they make when they are about to lunge that scared the hell out of me when i was little. none of the sound effects i've found come close to that one. i want that as a ringtone for when i get a text message. i think that'd be awesome..
I would like to see some kind of Jurassic Park spin off (a book, video game, movie) in which the main characters are raptors. The movies always hinted that they had some kind of rhyme and reason (more than hinted in the 3rd film), so I think seeing Jurassic Park, technology, other dinosaurs, and humans from a raptor's point of view would be interesting. It could be like Raptor Red meets Jurassic Park.
when I got it for the first time I was 9.. I used to be a Dino belover and when i saw a Velociraptor taller than a man I couldn't stop laughing... It's a Deynonichus.. the velociraptor wasn't so tall..
What is funny about the book Jurassic Park was that it was crammed with so many accurate scientific facts that you would think something as obvious as the difference between a velociraptor and a deynonichus wouldn't be so hard to get right for an author who could wrap his head around so much.
the reason they r so big is cuz at the time wen it was written, there was a debate about if deynonichus should have been a larger sud-species or not. but today, its rejected as such, thats y they r the size they r in the movies, but they r still good.
the first was by far the best the plot was what made it the raptors looked more real and the second was too much speacial effects and the third lets not go there...
Ihad that too when I saw the first film at 11 years old :-P Actually I find the modern reconstructions with feathers and wings to be even scarier. In Spielbergs version they look too lizard like, kinda like snakes more than a transition between reptile and bird.
I was 9 when I first saw this movie and was so scared of the raptors but I absolutely love those creatures. I prefer being in front of a T-rex then the raptor.
The first movie was the best, the second was good, but I didn't like the 3rd. It didn't give me the Jurassic Park feeling the other gave me. Except for Alan Grant, the other characters where annoying.
What he means is, that the Jurassic Park Velociraptors are even larger than Deinonychus ("terrible claw" in greek) their size being almost half that of Utahraptor. Even for 1993 the reconstructions in the film are terribly dated, but nonetheless still cool.
True, Chricton wrote the novel around the time, when Deinonychus was being adobted into the Velociraptoriae-family, and there was a fringe among paleontologists that wanted to drop Deinonychus as a genus alltogether and consider it an early velociraptor (very few hold this claim to day) However it's still true, that JP's "Raptors" are nearly twice the size of a Deinonychus, which was only about 1 m tall. The idea that it was as tall as a man is based on Ostrom's old, falsified reconstruction.
When dealing with Dinosaurs, there is a tendency, even in academia, to make them seem bigger than they really were. Another example From JP is the scene, where they sleep in a tree and are woken up by a Brachiosaurus. The head is more than 3 times too large.
Deynonichus are Chuck Norris pet.

The gradual evolution of the JP raptors from an artists interpretation of what they might look like into a stupid movie monster in the vein of Aliens

Well, there are many kinds of raptors.
There's striped raptors, hairy raptors, small raptors(as small as a turkey), and big raptors(as tall as a man)
I think I have to study these strange creatures :P

This theme is perfect for the velociraptors. Such a shame it was never used again

1st movie-raptors were sinister and evil.
2nd movie-raptors were violent and agressive.
3rd movie-raptors were calculating and misunderstood.

Once you hear that noise or see them for the first time only one thought goes through your mind. "We are all going to die."

what do you mean "a little larger than the terrible claw"?
That's the dromeosaur they were modeled on in these films

well you're both wrong
Deinonychus was the dinosaur JP's Raptors were modeled on
