Dr. Ian Malcolm: Did you find him?
Roland Tembo: Just the parts they didn't like.
  • Director Steven Spielberg had to attend an early screening for Swingers (1996) in order to give approval for the use of the Jaws (1975) theme. There he was so impressed by Vince Vaughn that he offered him a part in this film.
  • The ship which crashes into the InGen quay at San Diego docks, travelling at 26 knots, is called "S.S. Venture". This the same name as the ship that brought the giant ape to Manhattan in _King Kong (1933)_ and _King Kong (2005)_.
  • In the San Diego video store, there is a poster advertising a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger as King Lear. This is a reference to Schwarzenegger`s playing "Hamlet" in Last Action Hero (1993) - the movie that was practically wiped out at the box office by the first Jurassic Park (1993).
  • * * At least five scenes were cut from the film before release, and some appeared in the trailer: Peter Ludlow talking to the InGen committee about their expenses, Roland and Ajay talking in a bar, T-rexes trying to attack Kelly, who was left alone in the High Hide, The Raptors and T-rexes fighting in the rex`s nest, and Pteranodons attacking the rescue helicopter.
  • When the T-rex bites the traffic signal in San Diego, a street sign on the right edge of the screen reads in part "NO DINOSAURS".
