The embryos Nedry steals go in a Barbasol can, picked by art director John Bell for its design. The can is lost with Nedry in the rain. Remember it: it comes back later.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe rippling cup of water
The idea came from Spielberg listening to Earth, Wind & Fire in his car and feeling the bass shake everything. To shoot it, guitar strings ran through the car and a crew member on the floor plucked them.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe T. rex with a missing tooth
During one scene a tooth fell out of the animatronic T. rex. Putting it back was so hard that Spielberg kept rolling, so the dinosaur is missing it on screen. Its foam skin also soaked up rain and made it shudder.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesWhere Mr. DNA got his name
The cartoon that explains the cloning is named after Spielberg jokingly calling the character "Mr. DNA". Screenwriter David Koepp kept the name.
source ↗
- CameoThe screenwriter gets eaten
Screenwriter David Koepp shows up in San Diego as the man the T. rex eats. He's credited as "Unlucky Bastard".
source ↗ - ReferenceHe left Tokyo for this
During the San Diego rampage, a Japanese businessman yells that he left Tokyo to get away from this. It's a Godzilla gag.
source ↗ - ReferenceNames lifted from a song
Hunter Roland Tembo's and photographer Nick Van Owen's surnames come from Warren Zevon's song "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner".
source ↗ - Behind the scenesScenes from the first book
The Compsognathus beach attack, the T. rex chase behind the waterfall and the trailer hanging off the cliff come from Michael Crichton's first novel, not the sequel.
source ↗
- CameoEllie comes back by phone
Laura Dern didn't want to return just for a cameo. Spielberg suggested Ellie play a key part in the rescue, and she agreed.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe Spinosaurus ripped its head off
The Spinosaurus animatronic was 44 feet long and weighed 13 tons. It was so powerful it actually tore the T. rex's head off while filming the fight.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe aviary was in the book
The Pteranodon aviary and the river attack come from the original 1990 novel. Both were left out of the first film.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesShot without a finished script
The script was rewritten five weeks before filming and never got a final draft. Director Joe Johnston nearly quit, and the cast adjusted scenes on set.
source ↗
- ReferenceThe same T. rex from 1993
The T. rex Claire lets out is the same animal from the first film. Fans call her Rexy.
source ↗ - ReferenceThe old visitor center
Zach and Gray find the ruins of the Jurassic Park visitor center and fix up one of the 1993 Wrangler Jeeps to escape. In the control room, Lowery wears a shirt from the old park.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe director voices Mr. DNA
Mr. DNA returns to explain the park, now voiced by director Colin Trevorrow himself. In 1993 the voice was Greg Burson's.
source ↗ - CameoJimmy Fallon and Jimmy Buffett
Both cameo as themselves in the park. Paleontologist Jack Horner, the saga's adviser, also cameos.
source ↗

Counselors Dave and Roxie are voiced by Glen Powell and Jameela Jamil. Brooklynn is voiced by Jenna Ortega.
source ↗

source ↗

One of the season's episodes is called "Clever Girl," game warden Muldoon's last line facing a raptor in Jurassic Park.
source ↗ - CameoDr. Wu in the flesh
Dr. Henry Wu, only mentioned until now, shows up near the end and escapes by helicopter with an Indominus sample.
source ↗

source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe partner nobody knew about
Benjamin Lockwood isn't in the books. Colin Trevorrow figured plenty of people would have been involved in the cloning, so he created Hammond's silent partner.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesAn Indoraptor modeled on Nosferatu
The Indoraptor's front teeth and long claws were inspired by Count Orlok in Nosferatu. Bayona went with black so it would read like a shadow, and the mansion got a haunted-house feel.
source ↗
- Behind the scenesA death to raise the stakes
Brooklynn's fate was written in response to criticism that Camp Cretaceous lacked real danger. The conspiracy-thriller tone draws on The Parallax View and All the President's Men.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesNew voices for Brooklynn and Kenji
Kiersten Kelly replaces Jenna Ortega as Brooklynn; she has a limb difference, a deliberate casting choice for representation. Darren Barnet takes over Kenji from Ryan Potter.
source ↗

The Broker, Soyona Santos, is voiced by Dichen Lachman. Both the actress and the character come back later in the saga.

source ↗

source ↗ - Behind the scenesDilophosaurus with no CGI
Just like in 1993, the Dilophosaurus are purely practical puppets. No digital model was ever built for them.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe prologue that got cut
The film used to open with a Cretaceous fight in which a Giganotosaurus kills a T. rex. The five-minute scene was cut from theaters to shorten the runtime and released separately.
source ↗
- ReferenceA school bus for Crichton
In the traffic near the Brooklyn Bridge where Krebs is stuck, there's a "Crichton Middle School" bus. It's a nod to Michael Crichton, who wrote the original book.
source ↗ - ReferenceA bar full of Jaws
Van Dijk's bar has a piece of the Orca from Jaws, and a license plate reads "AMITYISL." A patch carries the Latin for "we need a bigger ship."
