When I was a kid I wouldn't go to the bathroom by myself because of this movie. I was 7 years old when I saw this movie & it was like nothing I had ever seen. It scared me so much.

On the helicopter, Alan Grant had two female ends of the seat belt, but still found a way to make it work. The dinosaurs were all female, but life still found a way to make it work

Opening weekend 1993... I was 11. My local cinema has 18 screens and they had ONLY Jurassic Park on that entire weekend in a staggered schedule, and it was still sold out. - Somehow, and I have no idea how... my dad (rest in peace) got hold of 4 tickets. Myself, my sister, and our two besties (who were also brother and sister) went to see it. My dad gave us £20 each... in today's money is close to £100 each... We played the arcades, got some sweets etc... And my sister saying "no drinks because we'll need to pee half way through the movie".. we had hotdogs and sweets, arcades, pizza... and then the call came in for the movie. I still remember the smell of the popcorn, standing in that lobby surrounded by hundreds of people. Jurassic Park trailers on the TVs dotted around the place. 11 years old, dinosaurs, 1993, with Spielberg directing, AND at the beginning of the CGI revolution........ No cinema experience has ever matched the magic of that weekend. Jurassic Park is lightning in a bottle. And afterward, we had a Maccies on the way home. Most magical weekend ever.

Jeff Goldblum's Jurassic Park: "Must go faster...." 🦖 Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST GO FASTER!!!" 👽

Your reaction of the Brachiosaurus at 12:47 is honestly why the first Jurassic Park film is still loved and magical after 30 years. Whether you’re someone like many of us who have watched this film a dozen times or a first time watcher,it just makes me smile how you guys really enjoyed it. Which is a testament to how good the first JP film was. I really appreciate your view on the magic of mixing puppetry and CGI which is another aspect of why JP is still magical to this day

18 years before JP, Spielberg learned the lesson that less monster is more. The mechanical shark(Bruce) was constantly malfunctioning, and shots had to be recreated without a shark.

The way the effects move from practical to digital and vice versa is masterful. The team that created this movie lavished so much attention, even love, to every detail and it really shows.

you might notice the scale and framing of the movie is skewed to have a somewhat vertical aspect ratio, where most movies today are very wide-screen. it adds a interesting perspective to many scenes making the dinosaurs appear taller

I saw this in a theater on my mother's 37th birthday. A week before my 10th. It broke my brain.

*Funny Story:* The most difficult shot/effect of the entire film was disrupting the cup of water to illustrate the impact tremor of the T Rex approaching the stopped vehicle. They finally figured out, after 7 months, that they could make the water ripple by laying under it and playing a specific cord on an acoustic guitar.

I read half the book version of this, and so far it was more gnarly than the film adaptation.

"So birds are very similar to dinosaurs?" When this film was released, the idea that dinosaurs were the ancestors of modern birds was pretty new, but now it's fairly widely accepted.

Fun fact:: as a gift from Spielberg, the little girl was given the mosquito trapped in sap off of the cane

This film is what kickstarted my love of paleontology and dinosaurs in general when I was a kid. Since then I have had the honor of being able to go to places like the dorest coast , Enciso's Trail and even a few digs in Montana and Wyoming as well. Obviously as far as accuracy goes the films are not the best but they really did capture the beauty and the danger these animals possesed

I would say my favorite moment is when new viewers get jump scared by the raptor attack in the generator room with Ellie. But as someone who has seen this thousands of times, The T-Rex escape is my favorite scene personally.

Spielberg is one of the best directors ever and this is an excellent movie to start. Originally, the movie was going to end with the skeleton crushing one raptor and Hammond shooting the second one. But after filming the T-rex scene, Spielberg knew they had to give the T-rex one last moment in the movie.

inflation calculator i used says $20 million is almost $43 million now.

I wouldn't say raptors are evil, to a bird; a cat is a demon.... To us, we invite them into our homes, and feed them treats and give them cute little outfits. It's a matter of perspective.

It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare. Side notes: The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with koala, lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death). The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds. The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). (There's an "s" in parentheses because depending on whether or not whales have teeth or baleen plates (think of them as biological water filters) in their mouths, whales have either one of two blowholes) The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat, while their movements were inspired by those of ostriches. A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart." Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.

27:30 "She knows all the plants too?" I hope so. She is a paleobotanist with a doctoral degree. Knowing about plants is her life's work. Dr. Grant is the actual dinosaur guy, a paleontologist.

31:22 you've been misled because the computer status screen said "Raptor Paddock" was unarmed. However, that was the original paddock for them. They had been moved to the smaller unit where they were fed the cow. That's why you thought the fences for the raptors were down but they said they were not.

35:31 my favorite shot, the light going into the TRex eye and the eye dilates. Its so good

Anyone wanna tell her birds are classified as avian dinosaurs and they've genetically engineered chicken embryos with teeth.

“What is the purpose of its arms?” That’s actually one of the biggest mysteries about T-Rex: What was it using its arms for? At first glance you would think such little arms would be useless, but they’re actually the exact same length as a human arm. And when you look at the muscle scars left on the bones, you’ll find that the arms were actually PACKED in muscles, so they’re actually very strong (the current estimate is that each of T-Rex’s arms could lift up to 400 pounds). As for their real-life function, the theory that myself and several other paleontologists and/or dinosaur enthusiasts subscribe to is that T-Rex was using its arms for social interactions between members of its own kind, such as grooming.

"I bet a thousand pesos he falls." I love that joke in the beginning.

The part where the T. rex breaks through the car with kids in it, the animatronics in the T. rex malfunctioned and so the kid weren’t acting. They were actually scared and terrified.

Bob Peck is amazing on this, RIP 58:00 one of the most iconic lines in movies ever

"Raptor" does not mean "bird of prey". It's Latin, it means, "one who steals", or, simply, "thief".

Arianna Richards is so good in this, she's actually a professional painter now and you can get the shot at 58:44 from her

When I was younger I would replay over and over the scene where they are brushing the sand away from the fossil specifically for the ASMR effect. Lol. This is one of my all time favorite movies.

The T Rex was not a puppet. It was a life size animatronic built by Stan Winston

Wait.... i saw her video 2 days ago and she had like 34k subs and now she has 63k subs!! I see this channel is growing in a good speed! i hope u reach 1m and all the milestones ahead ASAP

The original Jurassic Park, both the film and the novel it's based on, is essentially a horror genre effort, and although the film is significantly toned down from the book in terms of the violence, Spielberg still managed to craft an engaging and heart pounding thriller that still holds up today, thanks in no small part to the believability of the animals themselves, brought to life through a masterful mix of practical and CG effects that blend together almost seamlessly

Birds are descendants of dinosaurs.

I was surprised to learn that the actor playing the little boy Tim 20 something years later played the Queen bassist John Deacon in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. And he looked pretty much exactly like him.

This film is a masterpiece Colette Cherry, I’m happy that you react it, it’s definitely my fav from the 90’s 🦖🦖🦖🦕🦕🦕

Jeff was in the first death wish movie with Charles Branson

Even when I was a kid I thought "a six foot turkey sounds scary af"

38:40 rex dropping the car from the wall proves that dinosaurs are birds. Literally every parakeet and parrot loves throwing stuff from somewhere high to watch it fall.

That kind of film where the SFX aged better than many current films.

i vaguely remember watching this movie in the cinema with my dad, i was 5 or 6, i was absolutely hooked on dinosaurs for the next 3 years.

I love the way the captions describe the music: "ominous instrumental music plays" "sentimental instrumental music plays" "tense instrumental music plays" etc.

You hit the nail on the head of how the killing is portrayed. That being the overuse of blatant gore. don't show the gore, but show it in a more subtle way. That leaves an impression of death in the viewer's mind. It's something that allows your mind to roam and fill in the blanks, which also has the viewer considering the action more deeply than just being shown blatant horrible stuff. And yes the horror genre is the worst offender of blatant gore and violence.

One of my favorite movies. Definitely a classic. Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors of all time and plus John Williams did the music as well. That combo is historic.

So apparently on 35:54 the puppet actually broke the sun roof and those are actual terror from the actors and resulted on the puppet to loose a tooth in the process 😂

Fun fact, in the book, Micheal kills the Jeff Goldblum character. But he had such a fanbase after this movie, that he resurected him in the sequel. Made a lot of fans of the book mad. And also, most scientists now agree that the T-Rex didn't have motion senistive vision, but they did have poor vision. They hunted mostly by smell. And they weren't these amzing hunters, they were scavengers and ate whatever they found, like a vulture.

Best descision in the whole movie was not playing any music or sound cues during the entire Trex attack

I don't think Malcom knew about the frogs, which is why you can't do science in a vacuum... You need philosophy too, and that is what Malcolm was doing when he said life would find a way... He made a philosophical statement that was proven right later by the discovery of the eggs. "Could I?" Is a scientific question, "Should I?" Is a philosophical one... If the other characters in the lab were more philosophical they probably wouldn't have gone through with the cloning of dinosaurs in the first place. But then there wouldn't be a basis for a movie and we'd have two hours of people sitting around going "I'm really glad we didn't do that stupid thing we were asked to do!"

My favourite character was Colette doing the reaction….brilliant!!!

27:03 "Wow, the way he's laying on her!" That sounds so funny! xD Also, 55:04, "Yeah girl, you swing on that branch!" xD I swear you're doing this on purpose Colette!

"show don't tell" everyone knows of, but what can often be even better (especially in horror) is "imply don't show"

It's hard to believe that Laura was only 23 when she did this movie lol 56:50 that was a real reaction from Laura lol

When ellie said I think were back in business. You reaction was so adorable lol. 56:51

My parents and younger brother and I watched this together at home when It came out. I was only 5 years old. I watched it through my fingers most of the movie. My brother loved it, and he was maybe 3 years old. I love this movie now and it still holds up. But it did give me nightmares that still happen to this day, 30 years later lol

" dinosaurs eat man, woman inherit the earth... Women die out in a week without man" 🤣

Real Velociraptors are only about knee high. The Raptors in the movie were modeled based on the Deinonychus skeleton, but even then, were scaled up significantly; even Deinonychus would only stand about waist high. It was actually around the time the movie came out that the Utahraptor was discovered which is the closest in size to the raptors in the movie. And of course, now it's fairly well known that all the 'raptors' (Dromaeosauridae) were feathered dinosaurs.

since you loved so much of the suspense scenes, can't wait for your take on the next movie, The Lost World! 2-3 of the best suspense set pieces in filmmaking

I remember seeing it in the theater and my dad kept jumping during the raptor scenes. I thought it was so funny, because as a kid I just loved dinosaurs so much it didn't scare me at all.

Fun fact, the glass of the vehicle falling like that on the kids was an accident(puppet malfunctioned), the reaction was so genuine it was kept in the final film. Also the storm was real so Samuel L Jacksons death scene couldn't be shot.

the first time you see the island from the helicopter, that is the Na Pali coast of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. many other scenes were filmed on the island of O'ahu, also in Hawai'i. You can see the movie sites up close if you go to the Kualoa Ranch...

I combined human and dog DNA to create Barf. He's his own best friend.

1:03:08 i think is the most powerful scene because all the letters in the glass is dna fragments (ATGC) which overlayed over the raptor shows what made her up. Still love that fact

The Best Jurassik Park Films

If you've never seen any other Spielberg films.......'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' is another great one.

Feeling the T-Rex footsteps in the theaters seats...while seeing ripples in the water (done by using a guitar string underneath the dashboard) was one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever. I saw this 6 times in theaters with different people every time, that's how epic it was. Absolutely perfect combinations of practical and CGI, before they completely relied.

One of my favorite franchises, and God, I love dinosaurs. You need to see the rest of them ;)

When they first introduced the dilophosaurus they said it causes paralysis, leaving it to consume you at it's leisure, I wanna know how long it took, nedrey is at least 3 of the dilophosaurus

dr grant most iconic scene 7:00 😅🤣😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂 he didnt have to scare the pillsbury dough boy lol

Hi Colette!😊 Nice to see you! You did a great job reacting to this well made Spielberg film. Just the right amount of talking during the movie, well done!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

If you liked Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum's character) you'll probably enjoy this film's 1997 sequel "The Lost World: Jurassic Park".

Cardboard box was used to give shade so they could see the computer monitor . CRT monitors had clear pictures but terrible visibility and GLARE in bright light especially outside. All that was for is shade to make it darker to see better. Reason its realistic with the helicopter is because, it was real. Most of the scenes were shot in Hawaii. Oahu, Kauai and California. Every time i go to Oahu i go to the jurassic park area where they filmed it. The scene where the T-rex jumps out and eats the other dinosaur, that tree they hide behind is there and part of the tour. They also take you to the area where Godzilla (1998) was also filmed just down the way from the T-Rex tree along with one of the Kong movies. So pretty much the water fall scenes, the helicopter aerial shots, ( not when they are in the helicopter) are pretty much all oahu and Kauai. (remember Ellie was a paleobotanist, identification of plants and try to figure out or paint a picture the evolutionary path of plant life so that is why she is so interested )

If that kid saw a 6 ft turkey it would scare the heck out of him. Turkeys look kinda scarey on their own.

The cardboard over the monitor, at the dig site would help reduce glare on the screen.

Here's a recommendation from well before you were born. A mystery film called "Eddie & The Cruisers" from 1983. It has an amazing original soundtrack, and gives you a glimpse into oldies rock & roll.

your film and movie reaction is perfect... everytime. Very great. Thanks for this. Greats from Germany

2nd video of yours I have watched. Very glad I stumbled upon your channel.

I read the book in 1991. I've never read a book so quickly. The casting in this film was one point. Of course, the film left out essential details, but it was still well made. Talking about Velociraptors, if you've ever watched chickens stalk potential prey, and how they look at you, it's the same thing as Raptors. Coordinated triangulation of attacks, etc. Loved the reaction, Collette! ❤

The opening scene was actually used by McDonald's for an ad for their Kids Meal featuring Jurassic Park hardhats as the lid for their milkshake and little toy dinosaurs. They thought it was a kids' movie like a Dino petting zoo. Parents took their kids to see it. McDonald's tried to sue.

Actually raptors are like turkeys with teeth. 😆 They made them really large in this movie and without feathers.

Gotta read the Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton. There's a lot of stuff they changed for the movie. Like John Hammond being a benevolent, but misguided, rich man. In the book, he was practically a Bond villain. In the book Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler weren't together in any capacity other than teacher (Grant) and protege (Sattler). The only chemistry that people might misconstrue as romantic would be their shared in-depth love and knowledge of dinosaurs and biology in general. There are certain characters that were left out of the movie. Some people died in the book that lived in the movie. The sick Triceratops was supposed to be a Stegosaurus. I could go on and on and on. Oh, and fun fact about the movie, the reason the island is so beautiful is because it was filmed in Hawai'i. Edit: Also, if you want to see a glimmer of the book John Hammond peeking through the movie John Hammond, just watch his face during the scene where the raptors are eating the bull. He actually is staring at Dr. Sattler and Dr. Grant with an evil, gleeful, little grin. The kind that Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka has on his face when any one of the badly behaving kids gets what's coming to them in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. When I first saw Jurassic Park, it was in theaters. I was seven years old, and I recognized subtle hints as revelations early on. That grin scared me more than any of the dinosaurs did. John Hammond is evil incarnate. Don't let him fool you.

my fav movie of all time

Jeff Goldblum said the exact same line in "Independence Day" must go faster, must go faster!

The problem with putting previews to your reactions in the first 30 seconds of the video is that you spoiled The viewers reaction to seeing your reaction for the first time during the video.

1:02:05 In the books raptors are described to have a sadistic personality due to the mix of their DNA with the one of insects and other species. They are extremely aggressive, smart and even show cannibalistic tendencies during the second book (which Ian Malcom, Jeff Goldblum's character, protagonizes). Also, the death of Dennis Nedry (the guy who stole the embryos) is described in the book and it's one of the most gruesome deaths both books and movies have given us alongside John Hammond's death in the books too (Hammond is an assh*le and a villain in the books).

Is it just me or was this real quiet? I pulled up another KZfaq video to compare the volume and I had to turn the volume down. I even tried using headphone to focus the sound a little and it was still real quiet even when I had the volume up at 40.

Fun fact, when the raptor opens the door and calls the other in the kitchen, look towards its back and tou can see the puppeteer push down on its back to make it stand up

Great reaction, Colette! You should definitely watch the Jurassic Park sequels & the Jurassic World trilogy of films now for sure (especially the next one, as seeing how Malcom, Goldblum's character has become your favorite, & in the Lost World, he's the main character, lol).. This franchise as a whole holds so much nostalgia for SO many people spanning both the years & spanning these six films to the point it is nearly impossible to do wrong by reacting to any of them.. I will forever be in love with the JP/JW franchise.. I have watched them probably over a hundred times combined over the years & yet, each time it's playing, I will always stop to watch them.. I just find them that entertaining & that awe-inspiring.. They just always seem to draw me in & grab my attention.. And they honestly probably always will.. 🦖💚🦕

Can we all appreciate Colette for being the prettiest woman in the world 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

20:55 one of my favorite lines "the only one on my side is the blood sucking lawyer" lol 28:08 "that's one big pile of shit" lol

I have a list of my favorite movies, the ones that defined me as a person, A Clock Work Orange, Empire Strikes Back, Gone With The Wind, etc. They are all broken into genres to make the ranking easier but at the top, above all the categories there is Jurassic Park.

11:35 "The helicopter looks so good, really realistic." That's because it's a real helicopter flying toward a real island. Now, the island is Hawaii (not sure which island) rather than Isla Nublar which doesn't exist. The helicopter is real. Not sure? In 1993 It cost about 3-5 thousand dollars to rent a helicopter for a couple days of filming, a bit more to pay for the pilot. It cost a half million dollars to make a CGI helicopter for that short shot.

as is proven by the existence of the 2nd movie, the lysine deficiency thing also doesn't work correctly. they forgot that if they eat things that have lysine there's no problem.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Jurassic Park movie!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Just so everyone is on the same page, birds (Aves) ARE dinosaurs. They're the only extant lineage

You should read or listen to the book this movie is based on. Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors, for me it’s John Williams orchestral masterpiece that makes this movie awesome, just like Star Wars and the Indiana Jones series

Believe it or not there is a novel that is WAY darker with some changes and scenes that if you didn't knew it was Jurassic Park, you would thought that it was something else entirely

Great reaction Colette ❤

I've always preferred a good model over the best CGI. Animatronics is a dying art and it's such a shame, particularly when you consider how much money they save vs CGI. Older movies like this that bridged the gap between models and CGI tended to do it really well, practical effects also help the actors since they have something physical to look at and touch. I'm not at all against CGI only, there's a lot of damn good movies out there that rely heavily on it and of course we've come a long way with it. But movies with practical effects will always hold a place in my heart.

Fun fact Collette, when the T-Rex smashed her face into the plexiglass sunroof of the kids car, that was a mistake, it wasn’t supposed to do that, but the kids improvised so Spielberg kept it in.

I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna learn about real dinos (which technically include birds), I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s). P.S. To answer your questions: -At 55:12, he was trying to keep the raptors busy (& hopefully take them out) so they wouldn't go after Ellie. -At 56:34, that fall could've broken or killed Tim had Grant not caught him, so of course he was scared to jump. -My fave non-bird dino is Deinonychus, which is what JP/JW's Velociraptor are based on (See 11:30-17:00: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr-km5yclbGqqps.html ).
