rex but bigger' like Giganotosaurus carolinii), so they selected the Spinosaurus, which then-recent discoveries indicated would have been larger than T. Always a Bigger Fish: The producers wanted a dinosaur that could kick the T.Wu's turn into being incredibly sketchy (especially since make more dinosaurs was illegal at that time). This also allows Alan Grant's 'what were InGen doing behind my back?' opinions to be seen as allusions to Dr. This not only explains the extreme inaccuracies of the Spinosaurus, but also ties this film into the genetic hybrid storyline of Jurassic World and its sequel. The most notable is the implication that the Spinosaurus was one of Wu's earliest attempts at making a hybrid dinosaur that eventually got out of hand (and would lead him to the Indominus rex and Indoraptor in the next two films).

All There in the Manual: Of the retcon variety: the viral marketing for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom adds some much-needed context to III that helps it feel more relevant in the overall arc of the series.

Grant even calls their enclosure a 'birdcage', although this is kind of an accurate description (for what is an aviary if not a giant, expensive birdcage?).

All Flyers Are Birds: The Pteranodons in general act alarmingly bird-like, between grabbing prey with a set of eagle-like talons (something that would have been physically impossible for real pterosaurs of any kind), bird-like nests, the babies begging for food the way baby birds would be expected to (a point rendered moot by the fact that they're shown to be capable of flight already), the constant pecking, etc.

Adaptation Expansion: As Michael Crichton only wrote two Jurassic Park books, this is the point in the movie franchise when the storylines become original, although several scenes are adapted from both novels, such as the boat ride, the birdcage, and the dino cloning facility.

Also between Grant and Eric after Billy's Disney Death.

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Several between Paul and Amanda.

The Spinosaurus, moments after breaking through a razor-wire-topped wall to get to the protagonists, is foiled in its pursuit when the protagonists.

Absurdly Ineffective Barricade: Inverted.

It was eventually revealed in a promotional website for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that the Spinosaurus, along with the Ankylosaurus and Carnotaurus, were developed by Masrani Corporation as a test run for the new park, albeit behind the back of the rest of the company and during a time when making more dinosaur clones was highly illegal. This plot thread isn't expanded upon after this scene and the Spinosaurus's presence on the island is left unanswered.

Aborted Arc: When Grant and Billy are identifying the Spinosaurus, Grant points out that species wasn't on InGen's list of cloned dinosaurs and wonders what else they've been up to.

These aren't on InGen's list, but Jurassic Park III displays the following tropes: Like its predecessors, Jurassic Park III spawned half a dozen Licensed Games.įollowed by Jurassic World, which came out in 2015 after over a decade of Development Hell. But not until they arrive there is the truth revealed: the party is not there as tourists, but as rescuers to the couple’s son, Eric, who disappeared near the island eight weeks ago.Īnd guide or no guide, Alan Grant seriously doubts that any of them will get off Isla Sorna alive. They need funds for their paleontological research, so they agree. Instead, the place has become a tourist trap-emphasis on 'trap'- for people hopeful to see its dinosaurs from sea and air.Īlan Grant ( Sam Neill) and his protégé Billy, are asked to be tour guides to a rich couple, the Kirbys, and their company, who desire to see Isla Sorna. There are rumors of the deaths of people who came too close or were foolhardy enough to land, and the natives living on the neighboring islands never visit either island, which are known as 'The Five Deaths'. It is also the shortest Jurassic Park movie (92 minutes).Īs the years have passed, Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar have fallen into disrepair, the laboratories and training facilities now entirely abandoned - at least by humans, anyway.

Unlike the first and second films, it's not a direct adaptation of Michael Crichton's novels, though it does incorporate scenes from the books that were left out of the previous two movies. The third Jurassic Park movie, directed by Joe Johnston and released in 2001.
