** Joe Johnston revealed that he thought about leaving the film on a few occasions because of the uncertainty of how it would turn out on account of not having a finished script. He stated that making the film was hell on a daily basis and that shooting without a finished script was nerve-wracking but it also freed the creative process. He praised the actors for being flexible and dealing with the lack of a finished script the best they could.

* CommonKnowledge: It's often stated that the ''T. rex'' in this movie is a sub-adult, but this is never stated in any official material. It is shown to be smaller than Rexy from the first movie, at 37 feet long, on the movie's [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/monstermovies/images/1/1e/Spinosaurus_T_rex_size_comparison_JP3.png/revision/latest?cb=20190918214045 old official site]], but it is still considered to be fully grown.

** The incorrectness of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs is {{Handwaved}} and [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by Grant in that these dinosaurs are mutants, not real dinosaurs (thanks to having their DNA spliced by frog DNA.) One of the changes includes putting some feathers on the head of the raptors.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: No less a man that Creator/WilliamHMacy admitted that he did the film so his daughter could see him on screen, admitting that a lot of his filmography (such as ''Film/{{Fargo}}'') wasn't really for people her age (although there's things like a rotting skeleton and a velociraptor giving a man a NeckSnap on screen, so...)

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: The ''Spinosaurus'' swimming in the river scenes (and also at the sea, if you accept the implications[[note]]Listen carefully when the boat disappears on the mist, you can hear the same growl heard just before the river attack[[/note]] that it was him the one who attacked the boat at the beginning), when it was discovered that it was an aquatic creature. At the time the movie was made, the notion of ''Spinosaurus'' as a truly aquatic animal had not been proposed yet, and the scene was actually based on one from the original ''Jurassic Park'' novel by Michael Crichton that involved the ''T. rex''.

At the time the movie was made, the only ''Spinosaurus'' remains that had been discovered were the spines of the sail on its back (the fossil was destroyed in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII); the notion of ''Spinosaurus'' as a truly aquatic animal had not been proposed yet, and the scene was actually based on one from the original ''Jurassic Park'' novel by Michael Crichton that involved the ''T. rex''. In 2014, a much more complete ''Spinosaurus'' fossil was discovered: while it looks very different than the film's version (think something halfway between a theropod dinosaur and a crocodile), the dinosaur is now theorized to have been an amphibious brown-water predator. Also it really was bigger than ''T. rex'': if anything, the ''Spinosaurus'' in the film was ''too small''.
