The Lost World: Jurassic Park
1997 | Directed by Steven Spielberg
Ian Malcolm is recruited by John Hammond to lead a research team to Isla Sorna, an island 87 miles to the south of Isla Nublar (the site of the original Jurassic Park). Here, InGen Bioengineering had constructed the secret "Site B", where the dinosaurs were actually bred and then transported to the park. Hammond's nephew, who has taken control of InGen, leads his own team to the island to capture the dinos and bring them back to the U.S. to become attractions at a "dino park" in San Diego. The dinos cause havoc and have a field day with the movable "feast".

• One ship at the San Diego docks is called "The Venture", the same name as the ship that brought the giant ape in King Kong (1933) to New York.
• 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.
• 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. 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".
• The man that is eaten by the T-Rex next to the video store (in San Diego) is David Koepp, one of the writers of The Lost World. He is credited as "Unlucky Bastard".
• Held the record for the biggest opening weekend ever for four and a half years, May 1997 to November 2001.
• Steven Spielberg originally approached Juliette Binoche about playing the role of Sarah Harding. She supposedly replied that she would appear in the film only if she could "play the dinosaur". The part went to Julianne Moore instead.
• The tyrannosaur scratching its head as it approaches the residential area of San Diego is a nod to King Kong (1933) in which the tyrannosaur makes the same gesture before encountering the ape.
• In the San Diego video store, there is a window poster for Robin Williams in Jack And The Beanstalks using artwork from the Hook (1991) poster (also directed by Steven Spielberg). Further inside the store is a floor display for Tom Hanks in Tsunami Sunrise.
• According to Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novels, Sarah Harding is the daughter of Gerry Harding, the vet who treated the sick triceratops in the first film. In the book, Sarah was a zoologist, not a paleontologist; the paleontologist who Malcolm went to Isla Sorna to save was a man named Richard Levine, a character who only made it to the film as certain aspects of the Sarah character.
• Originally, Dr. Ian Malcolm's team included a fifth member, a paleontologist named Dr. Juttson. He was obviously inspired by the character Richard Levine from the novel. Dr. Juttson was dropped due to an already overcrowded cast, and most of his lines were given to Dr. Sarah Harding.
• When Dieter Stark, played by Peter Stormare, is first attacked by the Compys (Compsognathus), he starts yelling and throwing stones at them, then he mumbles parts of various curses in Swedish, however he doesn't complete any of them. Steven Spielberg thought it was excellent and kept the take in the final cut.
• The Japanese tourists running from the rampaging T-Rex in the San Diego scene (an obvious homage to Godzilla movies) are saying in Japanese: "I left Japan to get away from this?!"
• As T-rex turns to walk between houses in residential San Diego, he glances at the basketball hoop in the driveway, then makes a distinct dribbling motion with his right arm as he passes behind the house.
• In early drafts of the script, Lex and Tim were kept in for much longer. Some even had the kids going back to the park and encountering the dinosaurs again.
• Turning a profit without even opening, the FOX television network paid $80 million for the broadcast rights to the $73 million production weeks before it opened. To date (2004) neither this movie, nor it predecessor, Jurassic Park have ever aired on premium cable (HBO, Showtime), but have had numerous airings on basic cable and network stations. However, the following sequel, Jurassic Park III, did air on the premium cable network Starz!.
• The alpinist Tembo mentions as the first man to climb the Mt. Everest without oxygen bottles is Reinhold Messner.
• The five islands in Las Cinco Muertes are: Isla Matanceros, Isla Muerte, Isla Sorna, Isla Tacano, and Isla Pena.
• The name "The Lost Island" was originally considered for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, with the studio thinking the public may confuse it with the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle classic.
• The prop used as a tranquilizing gun at the end of the movie was originally used as a high powered weapon by Michael Gross in Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996).
• Thirteen stunt performers worked on Jurassic Park, while 50 were used for this sequel.
• The film introduced the new Universal Logo.
• Initially, three Mercedes ML-320s were modified for the trip to Isla Sorna. The third, which was said to have a "mobile observatory" welded onto the roof, was never brought along.
• The script called for a scene where the Velociraptors got on board the Venture as it was about to set sail. As chaos ensued, the T-Rex also got loose, and killed everything else aboard. This explains why many of the crew members are dead in places the Rex cannot reach. The scene was never filmed.
