* Ian asks Nick why he joined Greenpeace. His answer: "Women." Malcolm's response: "Noble, very noble."[[note]]Though later events suggest that Nick was being a smart-ass here.[[/note]]
** Nick dismisses the trip as a wild-goose chase, to which Ian replies that where they are going is the only place that the geese chase you.

** Later, as the ''T. rex'' buck is chasing them, Sarah suggests that Ian should slow down so they don't get too far ahead of the buck and lose his attention. Ian takes one glance behind them to see how close the ''T. rex'' buck is and promptly hits the gas harder. A nice CallBack to the last time he was in that position.

* Of the missed opportunity variety there's the fact that neither the San Diego chase scene nor the part where the ''T. rexes'' sneak up on Eddie as he's trying to reverse-tow the trailers back up the cliff make use of the previous film's "Objects in (passenger rear-view) mirror are closer than they appear" gag.

* When the ''T. rex'' buck is chasing Ian and Sarah, San Diego police and animal control show up. They have just enough time to get one good look at the ''T. rex'' buck before he roars, and they [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere throw their cars into reverse]].

* After the ''Tyrannosaur'' couple seemingly leave with their infant, Ian sardonically harps at Sarah and Nick for not listening to him, telling them he uses plain English and doesn't have an accent that he's aware of. Sarah, annoyed with his constant "I told you so"'s, sharks back at him to [[ShutUpKirk shut up]].

* The page image captures the hard cut from Mrs. Bowman's shrieking upon seeing her suffering daughter to Ian Malcolm yawning. Seems heartless...but he's not actually on the island. Turns out he's just standing in front of a travel poster in a subway station, waiting on a train.

** While the men themselves are a reference to Godzilla, they don't actually say anything, they're just screaming. The misconception comes from Film/{{Inspector Gadget}}, which has a Japanese man in a crowd scream "This is why I left Tokyo!"

* In the High Hide, Nick tries to comfort Kelly when she talks about all the stories he told her about his ordeal in the park, assuring her that it's a ''completely'' different situation this time around. [[InstantlyProvenWrong Then a T-rex roars somewhere offscreen.]] After a moment of silence, he asks if there is any way to get in touch with the trailer. Eddie doesn't even pause, speak, or look his way as he passes him the phone.

** Really, should anybody be surprised Kelly said that, considering who her dad is?

** What's even funnier is that in the [[https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lost_World_Film_Script#Scene_164:_San_Diego script]], [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl A GROWN MAN screams shrilly]] instead. The audience would have been howling with laughter.

'''Ian:''' ''[glances behind him and sees the ''T. rex'' buck]'' Uhh, I don't think so!

** And who may that unlucky bastard be? Creator/DavidKoepp, [[CreatorCameo the film's screenwriter]].

* The bearded paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke, who is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex in Steven Spielberg's film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, is an affectionate caricature of Robert T. Bakker. In real life, Bakker has argued for a predatory T. rex, while Bakker's rival paleontologist Jack Horner views it as primarily a scavenger. According to Horner, Spielberg wrote the character of Burke and had him killed by the T. rex as a favor for Horner. After the film came out, Bakker recognized himself in Burke, loved the caricature, ''and actually sent Horner a message saying, "See, I told you T. rex was a hunter!"''

* Eddie's busy setting up the High Hide when Nick and Sarah speed past him, the infant ''TyrannosaurusRex'' crying out. He pauses and watches the retreating vehicle, asking aloud "What the hell was ''that''?"
