History Fridge / JurassicPark

** Well another explanation for their stabilized behavior could be because they were raised by other Raptors. In real life with a lot of social creatures which are raised without peer group or parents to teach them social behaviors, they will often grow up displaying eradicate and unpredictable behavior. Wild animals raised in captivity can have this mitigated by handlers who know what their doing, and know what wild behaviors they should be learning and how to handle them (with mixed success), but the Raptors in the first movie didn't have that, no one in the first movie would know for sure what any of the dinosaurs natural behaviors should be and probably just assumed that all behaviors would be instinctive which backfired as horribly as everything else.

** Well that or it was [[ItCanThink one of the smarter dinos]], not as smart as the Raptors, but smart enough to know that [[BerserkButton Nedry called her stupid.]]

* The Dilophosaur displays some rather odd behavior unbecoming of most predators. Rather than stealthily stalk Nedry, she openly regards him while displaying zero aggression. She only goes into attack mode once he turns around and crawls on all fours. This is likely because she took his behavior as that of a wounded animal, causing her predatory instincts to kick in.

** ArtMajorBiology is the backbone of this franchise.

** Jurassic Park's ScienceMarchesOn-style of genetics offers some FridgeHorror as well. Considering that the dinosaurs look a bit different and more accurate with each film, Ingen may well have ''euthanized'' the animals that were proven to be scientifically inaccurate, only to replace them with improved ones.

** A neat idea if not for the fact its practically worthy of being a doctoral thesis in ArtMajorBiology.
* It can be universally agreed on the Nedry is a massive Jerk that brought about his own doom, but take a moment to think of what might have happenend if he had never shut the park down like he did. If the events of the first movie/film had not happened like they did ( with a relatively small start up staff and a handfull of guest) then such events might have happened much further down the road, when Hammond had opened the park to ''the general public''.

** And now we have ''Utahraptor'', a giant dromaeosaur (well, giant by dromie standards) about the same size as ''Jurassic Park'''s creatures. 'Six-foot turkey' indeed.

* The film presents a thinly veiled aesop on the dangers of relying too much on technology- which is exactly what modern films have done with the pioneering technology behind the special effects in this film.

* Tim's idolization of Dr. Grant goes to very subtle levels--he's even wearing the same outfit (denim button down shirt, bandana around the neck, white khaki pants, and a brown belt), with minor differences (Tim's shirt's unbottoned, different color bandana, and shorts instead of pants).

* The "six-foot turkey" comment can hit a sort of "Fridge Humor" note since, in real life, velociraptors were roughly turkey-sized.

* In a crossover with FridgeHorror, if Gennaro had been in either of the stalls next to him when the T-Rex crashes into the bathroom, the walls would have collapsed on top of him, possibly saving his life.

** I think that would fit better in a FridgeHorror section.

** Not to mention that explains why the Raptors became less and less psychotic.

** Sam Neill said in a making-of for JPIII, when describing the new raptors, "It's almost as if they've evolved."

** Every biological inaccuracy shown by the movie and the book can be explained by the fact that the scientists who made the dinosaurs screwed with their genetics and may have even tailored them to fit the expectations of visitors. A nifty way of averting the pitfalls of such a work when ScienceMarchesOn.

* I hated the ridiculous merchandising and marketing around ''JurassicPark''. When I saw that the marketing was a part of the movie and was a symbol of the hubris of the attraction's creators I really had to laugh. Nice...
