The article was first published on the public account "Movie Egg Hall", focusing on sharing movie easter eggs.

1. The Tyrannosaurus rex in the movie is not only terrifying on the big screen, but also scary during filming. Due to rain, the electronic model of Tyrannosaurus rex often short-circuited, causing it to suddenly "live" on its own.

This happened once the crew members were having a meal, and everyone present was scared and screamed. To this end, the crew set up a dedicated department to dry the Tyrannosaurus model after shooting each day. It is necessary to dry the wetted parts with hair dryers, fans, towels and other items during the long night to ensure that the "big actor" can perform as scheduled.

2. When filming the scene where the Tyrannosaurus rex attacked the off-road vehicle, the glass that was originally fixed on the roof of the car accidentally fell, so the panic reaction of the little actor was sincere .

In this scene, besides the glass of the car, the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus model were also damaged. In a certain shot, if you pay close attention, you will find that the dinosaur is missing a tooth.

3. The roar of Tyrannosaurus rex is mixed with the sounds of animals such as dogs, penguins, tigers, crocodiles and elephants . Although scholars believe that the real tyrannosaurus sounds are not as shown in the movie, they are created in the movie. The sound effects and images complement each other and are deeply worthy of the audience's hearts.

4. In order to create the ferocious image of the dinosaur, the crew greatly exaggerated the size of the Velociraptor . However, after the filming was completed, a larger Velociraptor was discovered by archaeologists, that is, Utahraptor .

5. When archaeologists first named the Utah Raptors , they considered naming the species " spielbergi " after the director of "Jurassic Park" Steven Spielberg (Steven Spielberg) , but finally changed it. Other names.

6. The sounds of Velociraptors actually came from the sounds made by the tortoises when they mate . The crew spent several months recording these sounds, and in the end they won two Oscars.

7. The film did not specify the reason why the triceratops was sick. In fact, the author gave an explanation in the novel: Triceratops are very similar to birds. They cannot chew food when eating, and rely on eating stones to grind the contents of the stomach. After six weeks, the stones in the stomach will become smooth, and the Triceratops will spit out the stones through rumination. So they need to look for new stones, during which triceratops will accidentally eat poisonous fruits and cause illness.

8. In the movie, the neck of Dilophosaurus has folds similar to that of an umbrella lizard and can spit blinding venom. These settings are far from the real image of Dilophosaurus . But as technology became more and more advanced, some scientists finally agreed with the view that Dilophosaurus would spray poison.

9. When Dr. Grant fastened his seat belt on the helicopter, he found that both of his hands were female buckles and could only be used in knots. This scene implies that Jurassic Park, which was originally a female dinosaur, will eventually find a way to reproduce, echoing the famous saying in the series "Life finds a way" (Life finds a way) .

10. In the film, when the Tyrannosaurus rex escapes the fence, Malcolm bravely draws its attention, allowing Grant to rescue the child trapped in the car. In fact, in the original script, Malcolm ran away after seeing the dinosaurs . It was Jeff Goblen's idea to make his character more like a hero.

11. When Jeff Goldblum was lying in the jeep and found a Tyrannosaurus chasing behind him, he said: "Must go faster" (Must go faster) .

In "Independence Day" (1993), Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith said exactly the same lines as they escaped from the spaceship in the spacecraft.

12. Spielberg asked the young actors who auditioned for Lex (the dean's granddaughter) to record a screaming video. When he played the video of Ariana Richards at home, he screamed The sound awakened Steward's wife from her sleep, and finally the little girl was picked smoothly.

13. The young actor Joseph Mazzello (Joseph Mazzello) once participated in the audition for "Captain Hook". Although he was ultimately unsuccessful because of his young age, the director Steven Spielberg was very impressed with him and promised on the spot. Will give him a role in the future. Later, Si directed the filming of "Jurassic Park," and he found Mezzero’s grandson Tim, who played the role of Curator Hammond, and even changed the role to Lex’s brother (Tim is Lex’s brother in the book) .

By the way, when the little boy grew up, he participated in David Fincher's "Social Network" (2010).

14. BD Wong (BD Wong) played the role of Dr. Wu, a genetic engineer in the first movie. The scene lasted less than two minutes, but his name appeared on the starring list at the end of the film. However, he was the only old actor to appear in "Jurassic World" (2015) many years later .

15. Jim Carrey (Jim Carrey) is one of the candidates to play Malcolm. If he were to be cast in the end, the film would have a completely different feeling.

16. The classic scene of water cup vibration is achieved by connecting the guitar strings under the dashboard of the car, and then letting the staff play the guitar under the car. It is said that this scene was inspired by the vibration of the mirror when Spielberg was listening to music in the car.

17. There is a scene in the film where another Spielberg work "Jaws" (1975) is shown on the computer screen .

18. When filming the scene of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spielberg would use a loudspeaker to imitate the voice of the Tyrannosaurus Rex . Every time he did this, the audience would laugh out loud.

19. After the movie is finished, the actors will get the Velociraptor model presented by Spielberg. But this model is too scary. The little actor Ariana Richards put it at the door of the house as a doorman; Jeff Golumb cherishes it and puts it in the most important place in the house; Lao La Dunn put the model next to her son's crib, but her son was scared and screamed. She had to put the model in the storage room, hoping that one day her son and the dinosaur could become friends.

20. The crew was hit by Hurricane Iniki while filming in Hawaii. Many stormy scenes in the film were shot during the hurricane. According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Iniki is still one of the most powerful hurricanes on record.

During the hurricane, all actors and staff were required to gather in the hotel's banquet hall. However, there is one actor who stayed in his room and slept directly until the hurricane was over. He was Richard Attenborough (Richard Attenborough) . When asked why he was so self-willed, the old man responded: "I am a man who has experienced blitzkrieg!".

21. Samuel L. Jackson was originally going to Hawaii to film his character's death scene, but because the hurricane suddenly destroyed the shooting location, the scene was not completed. That's why the film didn't show how the character died at the end, leaving only a weird broken arm.

22. The film is adapted from the novel "Jurassic Park" by Michael Clayton. Before the novel was published, Universal Pictures bought the copyright for US$2 million .

23. The Tyrannosaurus rex appeared in the movie actually existed in the Cretaceous, not the Jurassic. When the author Michael Clayton was asked why he named the novel "Jurassic" and used the Cretaceous "Tyrannosaurus" as the cover, he said that he had never thought about this, and he would come as he pleased... …

24. Jurassic Jurassic Park giant two-door design is based on Skull Island doors in 1933, "King Kong" in, so the film Malcolm in after referred to the "King Kong."

25. The film shoot film cost only $ 6.3 million, than the standard Hollywood today much less, even according to the theme of the movie to build rides more expensive than the movie. One of the key projects in Universal Studios California, "Jurassic Park-The Ride", cost 11 million U.S. dollars to build, almost twice the cost of the film.

26. James Cameron once said that he hoped to direct "Jurassic Park" , and even almost got the opportunity, but after watching the film, he realized that Spielberg was the best director. He also said that if he shoots, he will definitely add a lot of violent elements, and eventually become a dinosaur version of "Alien", which will be very unfriendly to child viewers.

27. The ending of the movie was originally set as the velociraptors were trapped by the fallen tyrannosaurus bones, and finally modified to the current version for shocking effects: the real tyrannosaurus appeared and attacked the velociraptor, saving the lives of the protagonists.

28. At the end of the film, the Jurassic Park sign (Jurassic Park) on the jeep is covered by dirt, only revealing "UR ASS PARK" . In fact, there is a stalk implied here, because Americans often say the phrase "you'" Re lucky to get out with your ass in one piece", which means "retreat from the whole body".

Jurassic Park quotes

  • Dr. Alan Grant: Kids! You want to have one of those?

    Dr. Ellie Sattler: I don't want that kid, but a breed of child Dr. Grant could be intriguing. I mean, what's so wrong with kids?

    Dr. Alan Grant: Oh, Ellie, look, they're noisy, they're messy, they're expensive.

    Dr. Ellie Sattler: Cheap... cheap...

    Dr. Alan Grant: They smell.

    Dr. Ellie Sattler: They do not smell.

    Dr. Alan Grant: Some of them smell.

    Dr. Ellie Sattler: Oh, give me a break!

    Dr. Alan Grant: Babies smell!

  • Volunteer Boy: That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey.

    Dr. Alan Grant: A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,

    [makes 'whoshing' sound]

    Dr. Alan Grant: from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this...

    [he produces raptor claw from his pocket]

    Dr. Alan Grant: A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here...

    [he lightly 'slashes' across the kid's body with the raptor claw]

    Dr. Ellie Sattler: Oh, Alan...

    Dr. Alan Grant: Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.

    Volunteer Boy: OK.

    [Alan leaves the now slightly frightened kid]
