Movie!Hammond is clearly a very different kind of man to the greedy, corner-cutting asshole of the book. Yet Nedry still causes all the damage that he does; why? Is it just because he's a greedy idiot? Possibly. But, before he hacks the computer and sets everything wrong, there's an interesting little discussion between Nedry and Hammond, in which Hammond comments about people "taking responsibilities for their own mistakes". Given the kind of character Nedry is presented as, it's possible he's made bad decisions with his finances in the past -- getting into debt by gambling, for example -- and he arrogantly blames Hammond for not being willing to clear those debts for him.

* Jossed. Westworld has nothing to do with Jurassic Park in any way, universe and production wise and the fact that John Hammond is a multi-millionaire so he funded Jurassic Park himself.

* Take into account that there is a reason why 'luck', being prepared, fit and healthy to run away and so exist. And to say Alan Parrish (who is somehow also named Alan fictionally) from Jumanji is also [[DoctorWho The Doctor]] is going a bit too far, in this troper's opinion.

*** Very funny. Jossed very hard. They said three instead of four because they didn't count Nedry whom is presumably eaten away completely or torn apart beyond recognition offscreen after being killed by the little venomous dinosaur.



Honestly. Watch the movie again and see how she angles her head whenever she screams and how she runs to close the freezer on the V-raptor? Definitely some zombie tendencies. I think she deliberately organized all her brother's 'accidents' to tenderize his flesh before she feasts.

* Very funny. Jossed very hard. Zombies do not talk but moan.



* Jossed very hard. The dinosaurs are what they are, dinosaurs. Full stop.



*** Should be jossed but on the other hand, the rain is pretty obvious, causing the Tyrannosaurus Rex to not be able to be as fast or as responsive when it's warm.



* Very funny. Jossed, especially the scriptwriter part.

to:

*** Very funny. Jossed very hard. They are dinosaurs and meat eaters to boot.




to:

*** Very funny to this being canon. Jossed. They aren't evil or insane. They are what they are, meat eating dinosaurs and it is known that some animals can think at some point, the raptors in this case.



* Jossed. This is a film about wanting to open a theme park with real dinosaurus which obviously failed due to the dinosaurs going about their dinosaur nature. Nothing more than that. Full stop.




to:

** Jossed. There won't be Jurassic Park 4 to begin with.



* Good theory but jossed until proven true on screen or at least in the novels.



* Simple. They simply happened to have said rich British families and hunters. That's all there is to it.



* Very funny and jossed very hard.






* To be precise, Nedry was literally TooDumbToLive. One should never make any meat eating animals angry in any way.



[[HilariousInHindsight More than a decade before the original book came out]], references to a theme park with genetically engineered dinosaurs appear during the Cursed Earth arc. This is, in fact, one of the Jurassic Park theme parks opened later, where they clearly haven't learned their lesson.

** Assuming that the same T-rex is in ''Jurassic World'', she will - having sensed that the end of her life is approaching - decide that the time is right to once again test humanity's moral worth. She will inevitably break out and consume certain humans for their foolish attempt at playing God (via creating the D-rex), but then realize that most of the humans are innocents, and thus she'll save their lives by taking out the D-rex itself.

Because ScienceMarchesOn, what were accurate portrayals in the 90's are not so accurate 20 years later. In-universe, palaeontologists will try to boycott the park because it presents an incorrect depictions of dinosaurs and only serves to perpetuate long debunked stereotypes. The park will try to counter this by claiming their dinosaurs are already going to be different from the real ones and that they're just trying to keep consistent with Hammond's original vision.

** As fan of the book which the movie shares a title and little else with I assumed that line was actually about Dr. Malcolm. In original book neither he nor Hammond make it. There is at least one joke about how the rumors of his death had been greatly exaggerated in the book. In the movie I assumed it was a "goof" caused by them trying to get some of the lines from the book in and forgetting their own continuity.

Now that the world's seen two islands and "half a dinopedia's worth" of proof the cloning techniques work and just as much reason to wary about making anything else big and dangerous, why not clone that flock of condors? Or prevent Lonesome George from being the LastOfHisKind? There might even be surviving geneticists who'd had MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments after the Isla Nublar and San Diego incidents among them. And then maybe go for a baby steps route with de-extinction and have a zoo with passenger pigeons, thylacines and moas?

* This is to say nothing of species that mankind is actively hunting to extinction. Imagine them cloning more tigers, more elephants, gorillas, pandas, etc. Of course it still doesn't tackle the ''ethical'' question that Malcolm raises, in that having hunted these creatures to near-extinction, do we have the right to bring them back, and is bringing them back as bad as hunting them to the death of the species? ''Would'' Malcolm have anything to say about Hammond bringing said animals back - would Hammond even be interested in doing so beyond bringing them up as a strawman argument?
