History Trivia / JurassicWorld

** The ''Stegoceratops'' was originally going to be an actual dinosaur that appeared in the movie alongside other hybrid dinosaurs rather than a simple render on a computer, but Treverrow scrapped it after he watched ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' with his son, who pointed out that since [[ThereIsAnother Leia was also a Jedi]], then Luke wasn't unique. He then applied that to the ''Indominus rex'', making it the only hybrid dinosaur that appears so that it would be the focus.

* TheOtherDarrin: Greg Burson passed away in 2007, so Mr. DNA's voice is provided by [[CreatorCameo the film's director]].
* RealLifeRelative: The little boy hugging the ''Apatosaurus'' at the petting zoo is played by Bryce Dallas Howard's real life son.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Richard Attenborough's health was in rapid decline during production of this film, negating any chance of reprising his role as John Hammond. That said, it is pure coincidence that Hammond was already written out as having passed away, only for Attenborough to indeed pass away in real life.

!!General Trivia
* The little boy hugging the ''Apatosaurus'' at the petting zoo is played by Bryce Dallas Howard's real life son.

----

* WordOfGod: Chris Pratt and Colin Tervorrow regularly say that canonical backstory for Owen is that he was a dolphin trainer in the Navy, making him the ideal candidate to train highly-intelligent animals that people make the mistake of assuming are fully tamed.
** Trevorrow also confirmed on the Blu-Ray extras that Claire is the true main protagonist of the film as opposed to DecoyProtagonist and StaticCharacter Owen.

** "Jurassic Marvel" for the movie in general due to the majority of the cast or have been involved in Creator/MarvelComics movie adaptations. See HeyItsThatGuy below.

* DeletedScene: Shown in an interview with Bryce Dallas Howard (about how [[RonHoward her dad]] posting a picture of her and Chris Pratt together at a party accidentally announced the film ahead of schedule) but not in the film, probably because it might have been TooSoon [[MoodWhiplash after a touching scene]] with a dying dinosaur: Yet another [[ToiletHumor dinosaur droppings joke]] is made in the series. This time, it involves Owen and Claire having to put some of the stuff on themselves to mask their scent. [[NeatFreak Claire]] is not amused, especially when Owen points out (after the fact) that she didn't need to put it on her ''face''.

* EnforcedMethodActing: As revealed behind-the-scenes, Bryce was not aware of when Chris was going to kiss her (at suggestion of the director), after the Attack on Main Street + saving Owen from a Pteradon; that surprise in the film is her real reaction.

** Claire's nephews are [[Film/IronMan3 Harley]] and [[Series/MelissaAndJoey Ryder]]. Their mother is [[Film/AntMan Maggie Lang]], and their dad is [[TheOffice David Wallace.]]

** Leon (the young worker at the raptor pen) gets yanked off the catwalk by one of the raptors grabbing the pole he's holding. The exact same thing befalls Eddie in ''Literature/TheLostWorld1995'' when the raptors yank him out of the high hide.

** The manner in which Leon (the young worker at the raptor pen) gets yanked off the catwalk by one of the raptors grabbing the pole he's holding is virtually identical to how Eddie dies in ''Literature/TheLostWorld''. [[spoiler:Except Leon survives.]]

** As it turns out, Zara's surname Young is apparently Fanon as well, originating from a Tumblr post of an edited screenshot of the ''Jurassic World'' iPhone game (Zara's last name isn't given in the game).

* ActorAllusion:
** Downplayed: Owen Grady is mentioned to have served in the U.S. Navy early in the movie. Chris Pratt played a Navy SEAL in the movie ''Film/ZeroDarkThirty''.
** Judy Greer and Bryce Dallas Howard previously played sisters in ''Film/TheVillage''.
** The ViralMarketing was narrated by Creator/DavidKaye, who voiced the TyrannosaurusRex Megatron in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''.

** The introduction, according to storyboards, was initially going to show more of the park and its many attractions. Among these attractions would have included a treetop observatory wherein people could watch ''Brachiosaurus'' herds, a gondola in the Aviary wherein people can get up close and personal with ''Pteranodons'' (and even throw fish through a special slot to feed them) and watch them eat live fish from a water bowl on top of the gondolas, a function of ''Gallimimus'' valley wherein people can watch the ''T. rex'' hunt the ''Gallimimus'' (perhaps as a CallBack to the first film), a submarine tour wherein people can see more marine reptiles in the Lagoon, including a ''Plesiosaurus'' and an ''Ichthyosaurus'' and a night tour wherein people can meet the ''Velociraptors'' while wearing night vision goggles.

* FakeBrit: Zara Young is British (according to Claire; more specifically she's English judging by her accent) but played by Irish actress Creator/KatieMcGrath.

*** Let's not forget the fact that Judy Greer is best known for a supporting role on [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment a show produced and narrated by Bryce Dallas Howard's dad]].

* Majority of the cast is or have been in a [[ComicBook/MarvelComics Marvel]] movie adaptation [[note]] Creator/ChrisPratt is in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', Creator/BryceDallasHoward was on ''Film/SpiderMan3'', Creator/IrrfanKhan was on ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', Ty Simpkins was on ''Film/IronMan3'', Creator/VincentDOnofrio is in ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}'', Creator/OmarSy was on ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Creator/BrianTee was on ''Film/TheWolverine'', Judy Greer is in ''Film/AntMan'' and Michael Papajohn was on ''Film/SpiderMan1''[[/note]].

** If the Tyrannosaurus Rex is often shortened to T-Rex, then it would follow that Indominus Rex would be called the [[IProduct iRex.]]

* The ViralMarketing was narrated by Creator/DavidKaye, who voiced the TyrannosaurusRex Megatron in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''.
