* During the scene with the T. rex in the suburban backyard, the parents can be heard bickering as Ben leads them to his room where they can see it, you can hear the dad say "If you serve him dinner, he won't be up all night" to which the mother gets deflective over[[labelnote:Also?]]The fact he says "serve" instead of served plural that can't nr simple DeniedFoodAsPunishment[[/labelnote]]. As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7tqVEdyteg&ab_channel=Movieclips one Youtube comment]] pointed out, this seems to indicate possible child neglect, if not outright abuse.

* Jurassic Park: San Diego may sound good on paper by Peter Ludlow (bringing the dinosaurs to the people at a cheaper price), but a closer look at the schematics and models of the park reveals that it is a recipe for disaster. The paddocks and pens for the dinosaurs are small; far too small for large animals to live comfortably. And large carnivores like ''T. rex'' are the [[RuleOfCool must-have main attractions]]. If the dinosaurs were to get stressed from the cramped living conditions, they would break out and rampage in a populous San Diego just like the ''T. rex'' in the actual climax of the film. It's no wonder that Hammond moved the park to Isla Nublar. More wide open spaces for the dinosaurs and little to no chance of them rampaging in the mainland.

** On the subject of Stark regarding the above detail, it's extremely likely that, having realized after the first two attacks how awful sweaty clothing/boots taste, the compies simply targeted the exposed areas of his body in his final moments i.e. his hands and face. The point is, he was "still alive when they started to eat him".

* When Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning of the movie, he calls out Ludlow for covering the first movie's events and lying about "the death of three people", but five people died during the movie's events: Jophery, the park worker during the opening scene, Dennis Nedry, Donald Gennaro, Ray Arnold, and Robert Muldoon. However, Muldoon is revealed to be still alive in the extended universe (he appears in the comic book series ''Jurassic Park: Raptors Attack'') and the worker being killed by a raptor is a distinct incident which happened at least days before the fiasco which killed the other persons and caused the park to close before its official opening, so Ludlow didn't cover it (not to mention the incident is the reason why Malcolm and the other guests visited the park to begin with). Alternatively, Ludlow may have publicly covered the unammed worker, Gennaro, and Arnold's deaths, but not Nedry's, since the latter had a great part of responsibility in the whole fiasco, and was a convenient scapegoat since he was killed by the aftermath of a sabotage he's personally responsible of. Another interpretation: it's plausible to assume nobody discovered Nedry's fate (he dies in a remote place with no witness, and nobody finds his remains or his jeep in later events of the first film), so Ludlow didn't lie about him because everyone thought Nedry managed to sneak out the island alive.

* Ludlow's TooDumbToLive moment where he tries to grab the infant one last time sees him being kneecapped by the adult and presented to the infant to learn how to make its first kill. He spent his last moments being used as a living practice [[{{Pun}} dummy]].

* Tembo's comment of " A true hunter doesn't mind if the animal wins" comment in his deleted scene may be a bit more than just him wishing for a worthy challenge. As someone who has been around animals for most of his adult life, Roland would probably know well enough that it's not just human hunters who have their prey successfully evading them. [[https://lionalert.org/predatory-behaviour/#:~:text=Lions%20hunting%20in%20pairs%20and,to%20control%20exclusive%20hunting%20grounds For example, scientists have discovered that lions are only successful for about 17-30% in all of their hunts.]] Roland, knowing the rules of the game, would definitely be well aware that the hunter cannot always win. His dour attitude to his disproportionate success could be a lament to the fact that he could not abide by those rules.

* Dieter getting followed by the ''Compsognathus'' isn't that surprising in their behavior: They're opportunists. Dieter is wounded from his fall and bleeding from their first assault. To them, he is a wounded prey on his last legs and they're just waiting for him to make a mistake so they could pounce again. [[spoiler: And they get it.]]

* How did a ship with nobody to steer it make it into San Diego harbor? Anyone familiar with the area can tell you this would require some actual navigation, as the harbor is inside a bay that can't be entered by following a straight line.

* Seeing how [[spoiler:Stark died]] makes you much more horrified about [[spoiler:the fate of Cathy, the little girl from the opening, and much more relieved that she survived]]. Nevertheless, Cathy was immediately rescued by her parents and at least half a dozen servants. Dieter wasn't. The {{Irony}} of it is that Cathy only had a bathing suit and was much smaller. Stark was a full grown man, fully clad, and even had a good portion of his gear still on him. ImprobableInfantSurvival at its finest.

** More simply, Malcolm himself just doesn't know about Nedry's death since he never met the guy and the only mention he hears of Nedry is when Hammond, also oblivious to the FatBastard's demise states that Nedry isn't coming back to undo what he did to the system.

* When Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning of the movie, he calls out Ludlow for covering the first movie's events and lying about "the death of three people", but five people died during the movie's events: an unammed park worker during the opening scene, Dennis Nedry, Donald Gennaro, Ray Arnold, and Robert Muldoon. However, Muldoon is revealed to be still alive in the extended universe (he appears in the comic book series ''Jurassic Park: Raptors Attack'') and the worker being killed by a raptor is a distinct incident which happened at least days before the fiasco which killed the other persons and caused the park to close before its official opening, so Ludlow didn't cover it (not to mention the incident is the reason why Malcolm and the other guests visited the park to begin with). Alternatively, Ludlow may have publicly covered the unammed worker, Gennaro, and Arnold's deaths, but not Nedry's, since the latter had a great part of responsibility in the whole fiasco, and was a convenient scapegoat since he was killed by the aftermath of a sabotage he's personally responsible of. Another interpretation: it's plausible to assume nobody discovered Nedry's fate (he dies in a remote place with no witness, and nobody finds his remains or his jeep in later events of the first film), so Ludlow didn't lie about him because everyone thought Nedry managed to sneak out the island alive.

* Many people have asked where Nick was when it came to the events of San Diego. However, there's an explanation for it: The reason why Hammond hired Nick was to sabotage [=InGen=]'s plans on taking the dinosaurs off the island. For all intents and purposes, he completed what he was hired to do. However, when he sees that they had one of the T-Rexes caged and ready to ship, he probably believed he failed to the point where it took [[HeroicBSoD a hard hit on him to make him think he failed at keeping the dinos from reaching the main land]].
