"Billy, Stop!" Why?
Before Billy jumped, what was Alan thinking? Was he thinking Billy was going to comment suicide?
Alan simply thought it would be too much of a risk.--Name Theft Victim 03:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
But did Alan really think he was going to do what he did?
Fan created "explanation" for different appearance of island in II and III
The only thing worse than unenyclopedic, unfactual, unverifiable, original research information is somebody reinstating it after it is removed. The fact is that a different location was used in each movie; fine nothing wrong with explaining that in the trivia section. However, going on to state some mumbo jumbo about each movie taking place on different parts of the island to explain away this "error" is just plain silly. The makers of the movie did not intend this, and, quite frankly, probably did not care whether the island looked the same in both movies or not. Therefore, this information is entirely fan creation and in no way encyclopedic. I therefore removed this little tidbit only to discover that someone had put it back in. The statement clearly violates wikipedia policy, and reverting my change is akin to vandalism. I do hope this stops. Indrian 04:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
what do you think attacked the boat?
I mean there is never no metetion of sea monsters or anything like that. and anything flying would have not been able to sink the boat so quick.
I think its an aquatic reptile such as a plesiosaur. Perhaps it could be the same deal as the spino, a creature that wasnt on InGen's list.
It could have been a spinosaurus, since many believe the animal to have hunted fish. The moviemakers made the jump to assume that it would sometimes roam totally submerged in rivers in one scene, so it wouldn't surprise me if they assumed it also journeyed out to sea....it's a movie, lots of unfounded assumptions are going to be made.
It was the usual "terror below the surface" stereotype with the "ridge-sail" of the Spinosaurus instead of the usual shark-fin...
It could be suggested that the two-largest theropods, Tyrannotitan and Spinosaurus were partially aquatic. It is not unusual for large animals to tend living into water, which can support their body weight relieving them from the stress of "carrying theirselves". For example: sea turtles tend to be larger than land turtles; the Saltwater Crocodile is the largest living reptile; the Green Anaconda, which is partially aquatic, is heavier than the Reticulated Python. Also mammals could serve as examples like the two largest land mammals, Hippopotamus and Elephant, being semi-aquatic, and the Whales, which are the largest animals of all time, being exclusively aquatic. There are other evidence that those two huge theropods could be semi-aquatic, for example Tyrannotitan had a flattened tail that could help it propel itself into water, while the ridge-sail of Spinosaurus could possibly help in maintening swim stability as the dorsal fin of sharks and dolphins do. Spino also had elongated snout and curved teeth which may represent a piscivorous lifestyle.
I think it was a elasmosaur. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.176.105.227 (talk) 15:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Peter Pan joke(s?)
I think the whatever-o-saurus announcing his appearance with the ringing cell phone he swallowed is a reference to the crocodile from Peter Pan doing the same because it swallowed a clock. With some knowledge of American popular culture this seems obvious, but I am reluctant to add it to the article, because it would seem like polluting trivia and it is OR on my part. I'd like some opinions. — Mütze 12:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, I thought the same thing while watching that scene. However I would advise against adding it without some sort of verifiability behind the statement. This is actually the first time I've ever heard it being brought up. But if you do happen to find something to back it up, maybe some random interview somewhere, it sure would be a great addition!--Arkcana 04:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
1+1=2. Mathematicians could expand and verify it, yet what would be the purpose of that?
Michael Chrichton never saw JP3?
Didn't Michael Chhrichton mention that he'd never see JP3? If so, shouldn't this be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.119.129.129 (talk) 16:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Question about plot outline
Nov 21, 2007 - Hey, on the plot outline, my understanding was that at the end of the movie, Grant does not actually "Communicate" with the raptors, but instead makes a sound similiar to that of a cry for help, which in turn scares the other raptors away thinking they were in danger. Never edited a Wikipedia page before, so I won't change it, but I thought I would bring it up in case anyone wanted to find some kind of citation that supports this. Thanks! 208.218.12.45 (talk) 20:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Nick
Nov 27, 2007 - Ah, very sharp. I believe it was me who wrote that line, based on an assumption from my memory of that scene... Your assessment sounds correct to me, but for the time being I have changed it to "Grant manages to alleviate the situation by imitating a velociraptor call which the raptors understand and respond to". If you've watched that scene recently and think it's clear what's going on, don't be afraid to edit! --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 23:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
