* Daniela Pineda originally was supposed have an additional scene before quarantine restrictions prevented her from being able to film it. Her role was given to a new character played by Varada Sethu (the woman at the Pennsylvania airport who speaks to Grant and Sattler).

* Creator/StevenSpielberg changed the endings of the first two films in the middle of filming. In the first ''Film/JurassicPark'', the film was supposed to end with the dinosaur fossils in the visitors' center falling on the raptors and crushing one of them, while Hammond shot the other one. Would've been a tad anti-climatic. Spielberg realised that the audiences would never forgive him if he didn't bring back the ''T. rex'' for one last heroic moment, and so he did. With ''The Lost World'', it was supposed to end with a ''Pteranodon'' assault on a helicopter. Spielberg had proposed putting a ''T. rex'' in San Diego early on, but was more or less ignored, until he insisted that it was the ending that would be filmed. It is quite safe to say that both endings that found themselves in the movie are better than the planned ones.

* The crew actually considered including feathered dinosaurs under the paleontologists' suggestions, but it was decided not to due to controversy and technological difficulties (despite CGI birds being doable at the time).

* The ending was changed a lot; in the original script, the ''Spinosaurus'' was attacked by raptors and killed at the end; this was probably changed because in the first movie, the raptors were no match for the ''T. rex'', and having them bring down an even bigger carnivore that actually killed a ''T. rex'' earlier in the film wouldn't seem realistic. [[note]]To be fair, the ''T. rex'' only fought one raptor, having killed the second one by surprise.[[/note]] Also, the helicopter was to be attacked by ''Pteranodons''. And they also considered having the ''Spinosaurus'' attack the marines.
