* Dr. Sattler calls in the [[BigDamnHeroes Coast Guard and the Marines]] to save the Grant and the Kirby's at the end.

* Dr. Sattler proves that, as usual, she is a badass. Alan calls her, screaming and shouting and drowning, and what does she do when she realises that bad shit is going down? ''She calls in the [[BigDamnHeroes Coast Guard and the Marines]] to save the Grant and the Kirby's at the end.''

* The fact that Eric, a 12-year-old boy, spent eight weeks completely alone on an island full of dinosaurs, and not only managed to survive but actually seems to be doing quite well by the end of it. He doesn't seem to be starving or sick, and has apparently figured out both how to stay more or less out of the way of the dinosaurs and how to fend them off when he does run into them. Compare this to the [[AdultsAreUseless adults, who don't even manage a day on the island without drawing the attention]] of a ''Spinosaurus'', a ''T. rex'' and a whole bunch of ''Velociraptors''.

* In terms of special effects, the animatronic Spinosaurus was a gigantic undertaking and feat by Stan Winston and his studio staff. The full robot weighed over 20 tons and was made from the ground up as the largest and strongest animatronic the studio ever made. The result was a machine who was fully articulate, far stronger than the old T.rex machines, and able to perform acts in the film like fighting similarly sized Tyrannosaurus animatronic, tearing apart an airplane, and sinking boat even when immersed in water and getting rained on!
** The animatronic was actually so powerful that, during the T. Rex fight scene, it decaptiated the older animatronic with a single blow, which resulted in the scene needing to be shortened.

* The moment he realises that Paul lied to him about the true nature of the visit, Alan punches him ([[OffscreenMomentofAwesome offscreen]]) and prepares to wind up another if he doesn't start explaining. Alan, much like Ian in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', is smart and badass enough to know that the sooner the actual problems are up in the air, the sooner they can be resolved and everybody can get away from Site B before more lives are lost.

** The fight between the two apex predators deserves a side note. No matter how much of a BaseBreaker it proved to be, the brawl between the ''Spinosaurus'' and the ''Tyrannosaurus'' was the first time in the franchise we got to see a full blown, drag-out fight to the death by two giant dinosaurs. And it ''still'' looks awesome!
