Trivia
I have collected all the famous movie trivia questions with answers from Reddit and other sources. They can be very useful in quizzes or games, or simply to learn more information. Most of the fun Jurassic Park details are suitable for kids.

The animatronic t-rex was not supposed to break through the plexiglass roof of the SUV. The plexiglass actually chipped one of the t-rex's teeth.

Hidden Details




When the T-Rex is on the lose in San Diego, the Japanese tourists running from it shout "I left Japan to get away from this!" A reference to the Godzilla films.









" when Sam Jackson takes over Kerry's computer station, it briefly shows a photo of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the Manhattan Project. This forshadows the coming "apocalpyse" in the park.






Malcolm shifts to a different finger counting style when delivering this speech. Spontaneous order is a component of chaos theory.
Has a subtle but obvious nod to The Goonies (1985)



When the Raptor looks up to the ceiling panels, the lighting shows a DNA sequence(I think the DNA sequence is engraved to the panels but I can be wrong)

During the raptor kitchen scene a crew-member's hand can be seen stabilizing the raptor suit in the doorway.

The seatbelt scene in the helicopter is a metaphor for the whole movie. All seatbelts work except for Dr. Grant's, which has two females ends. He uses the two female buckles to achieve the same result as the male/female buckles. With only females, he found a way. Life finds a way

The T-rex starts making a "dribbling" hand motion (at 0:07) once it sees the basketball hoop.
The raptor claw that belongs to Grant is taken directly from the Badlands dig site in the beginning of the movie.


Jurassic Park Plot: A pragmatic paleontologist visiting an almost complete theme park is tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose.

Most of the previous facts are hidden for some reason, but still, there is plenty of randomly forgetten stuff that makes the movie unique and interesting.
