* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: The ''Velociraptor'' pen is absolutely tiny, only about fifty feet by thirty feet ''at best'', and we're supposed to believe it was meant to contain at least ''nine'' tiger-sized predators together. No wonder they kept trying to break out. Probably due to RealLife Budget reasons.

* TraumaCongaLine: Lex and Tim. Let's see, their parents are having a rocky relationship, so their grandpa, Hammond, invites them to Jurassic Park to get away from the fighting. Expecting a fun time there, they arrive only to find that Grant doesn't like them (at first); the ''T. rex'' breaks out and nearly eats them, while Gennaro leaves them; Tim, trapped in a car, is pushed down into a tree; Lex is traumatized after Gennaro left them; Grant saves Tim from the tree but they have to out-climb the falling car; they then have to outrun more dinosaurs; Tim gets shocked by the fence as his sister watches in tears; once they make it to a building and finally eat something on their own, two ''Velociraptors'' show up and try to hunt them down; and by the end of the movie, they're both physically a mess.

* FragileSpeedster: The ''Gallimimus'' are among the fastest dinosaurs in the park, but lack any other defenses against predators and as such are easily killed by the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' (who is a LightningBruiser). Similarly, the ''Velociraptors'' are speedy killers towards similarly-sized prey, but anything bigger than them are perfectly capable of taking them down, as the T-rex demonstrates in the final dino battle.

** The banner in the Visitors' Center reads "Film/WhenDinosaursRuledTheEarth."
** John Hammond pretending to interact with his onscreen counterpart in the theatre is based on the original screenings of ''WesternAnimation/GertieTheDinosaur'' (the very first onscreen depiction of a dinosaur), in which animator Creator/WinsorMcCay would stand up next to the screen and "interact" with Gertie.

* FriendToAllChildren: Despite Malcolm's issue with Hammond, he likes Hammond's grandchildren and tells Grant he has several of his own. [[spoiler:When Rexy goes after Lex and Tim's car, Malcolm follows Grant's lead to save the children and goes further by trying to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself by drawing the Rex to him with a flare]] while telling Grant to save the kids. He survives the attempt, though Rexy does smash him through an outhouse and he breaks his legs]].

** When Ellie finds [[spoiler:what little remains of poor Mr. Arnold in the maintenance shed, you might have noticed that the wire mesh door was ''closed'' before Ellie went into the small room the raptor apparently killed Arnold in. This quite brilliantly foreshadows the fact that the raptors are smart enough to [[ItCanThink understand how to use doors]].]]
