** Film/JurassicWorld even goes further by having Owen (male) end up regaining his position as the Alpha of the raptor pack (all female) from the Indominus Rex (female) through the kindness and mutual respect he shows them rather than power and fear they get from the Indominus which is what convinces the pack to choose Owen and turn on the Indominus, beginning the climatic battle that (with the help of Rexy and the Mosasaurus) ends the hybrids reign.

* The film’s classic message that '''life finds a way''' actually disregards the gender politics that some people interpreted from Dr. Sattler’s quote "Dinosaurs eat man..... Woman inherits the earth” in two ways. The first is that the dinosaurs themselves never treat humans differently because of their gender, a T. rex outclasses you and will eat you wether you are male or female. Secondly, nature overcoming the scientists at Jurassic park is through the dinosaurs ability to flip genders, allowing them to have a breeding population that has both male and female dinosaurs working together.

** It actually more sense if you don't see this as a hunting behavior but instead a territorial behavior. The thunderous footsteps and constant roaring? She's making her presence known to all would-be rivals. The interaction with the jeep? The ''T. rex'' only attacks when the car apparently tries to blind her with a light beam. Chasing the humans with flares? She's either curious about the lights or perceives the humans as threats. Chasing a fast-moving jeep before giving up? She's driving out an apparent rival out of her territory. As we see in her hunt of the ''Gallimimus'' and later the ''Velociraptor'', the ''T. rex'' can be stealthy as she wants to be. All of this makes the ''T. rex'' a more realistic animal which actually makes her scarier than just being a mere PrehistoricMonster.

** Or, being an palaeontologist, Dr. Grant could only make educated guesses, a simpler explanation is simply the viewing conditions of Roberta's first attack. It's night, the power is out, and a storm is underway, even one of these things is hardly conductive for being able to see, also, remember what she attacked first, a white goat and ''bright green'' cars, as to why she didn't attack Dr. Grant and the kids, she was practically nose to nose with them, they were in her blind spot, and the rain was probably messing with her sense of smell.

Hell, his daughter Kelly proves to be a chaotic element in [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark the second film]], going with her father to Isla Sorna without his knowledge.

** Assuming that Dodgson used his real name. He could have given Nedry a false name and was acting as it being his real name so that if Nedry ever got caught and gave up his name, that he'd be safe. Dodgson and Nedry were involved in corporate espionage after all, and it seems unlikely Dodgson would have given his real name.

In his introduction scene, Dodgson wasn't embarrassed about the name being used. He was trying to maintain a cover and Nedry was pretty much drawing eyewitnesses to them (meaning if anyone else started asking questions about Nedry would have a description of a man called Dodgson, which could be used to track him down).

* Ian's odd behaviour when Alan and Ellie first meet him in the helicopter -- laughing jovially when he learns they're paleontologists and going overboard on his amusement -- looks at first like he's a little drunk. But he already knows what Hammond's planning, and finds it hilarious that he's dragging along people who dig up dinosaurs for a living to a (he believes) failed attempt at resurrecting them.

* As pointed out in a Website/YouTube comment, of all things, in the scene in ''The Lost World'' when the parent tyrannosaurs are first heard, the very first thing Malcolm does--before even asking if there's any way to contact the trailers--is turn off the kerosene lantern in the High Hide. This isn't just a smart move for if you don't want to be seen: he was remembering his very first encounter with a ''Tyrannosaurus'' in the previous movie, and what had attracted Rexy to the first car and nearly killing Tim and Lex--''they were shining a light around and it drew Rexy's attention''.

* When the tour breaks down Lex is fanning herself, Malcolm and Alan share a bottle of water and Gennarro has dozed off. Even with humidity the evening should be cooler than the daytime and now everyone is visibly struggling with the climate. This may seem incongruous until one remembers that the power cut would have also shut down the air conditioning in the vehicles.

* Nedry might not be the most morally upstanding person, but he's far from an idiot. After his computer virus shuts down everything in the park, it's explicitly stated that the electric fences of the Velociraptor pen are still operational. Nedry is smart enough to recognize that the raptors are by far the most dangerous creatures in the park due to their unusually high intelligence for dinosaurs and intentionally designed his virus to leave the fences of their pen turned on even when it knocked out everything else.

** In describing chaos theory, most use weather as a perfect example. That's true in this case. If not for the storm, Nedry likely would have given the embryos over to his contact at the docks and been back in his seat entering the reset command before anyone knew anything was wrong. If anyone did notice the phones were out or the internal security blanked out for a few minutes, he can just brush it off as glitch #152. In fact, this was explicitly stated in the novel: Nedry planned for everything, except for that storm!
