Jurassic World

Audio problem: When they are standing at the top of the waterfall Owen talks to Clare from behind and his mouth isn't moving. (01:06:10)

Continuity mistake: When the guy scrambles out of the raptor paddock the distance between him and the fence behind him varies between shots from close to far away. (00:24:00)

Factual error: In the airport scene, this is not Dane County Airport as shown, as they do not use letters for their gates (A, B and C shown). They use numbers (1-13) instead. (00:03:10)

Other mistake: When the I-Rex finds Owen and Clare at the visitor center garage, Owen's gun is leaning up against the JP jeep. The I-Rex knocks up the jeep, but the gun doesn't fall over.

Continuity mistake: The restricted zone where the original Jurassic Park was is to the north. After Indominus chases the kids to the waterfall, it is said in the control room that the huge dino is moving south to the crowds waiting for rides to reopen in the downtown section, drawn by the heat signatures of the gathered masses. A few scenes later, Indominus is up north again terrorizing the kids at the Jurassic Park jeep port.

Suggested correction: They are guessing on what Indominus Rex is doing since they have no way to track her other than the dead dinosaurs.

Continuity mistake: When Zack's brother is crying about thinking their parents are going to get divorced, behind Zack it looks like the background loops in every shot of him.

Continuity mistake: When Claire gets into the helicopter at the start her microphone is level with her mouth. As it takes off, it's pushed down by her shoulder. (00:13:50)

Continuity mistake: When Barry helps Owen get up off the ground, when the camera changes, the shadow of cage bars appear out of nowhere on Barry's back.

Continuity mistake: During the first appearance of helicopter JW001, as the helicopter turns to the right to align with the helipad, the entrance door to the helipad is closed. In the next shot, the door is open with Claire standing there, waiting for the touchdown. (00:13:00)

Suggested correction: The chopper is also considerably closer after the cut indicating a time skip of a few seconds. Plenty of time to open a door.

Continuity mistake: When Clare walks into the control room, no part of the park is closed. But, when she asks about the west plains, they appear closed. There would not have been time to catch the Pachycephalsarus. (00:11:00)

Continuity mistake: When Indominous Rex has the gyrosphere in its mouth and is smashing it, the seats are facing up. When the passengers release their safety belts and fall to the ground, they are facing down. (00:59:20)

Continuity mistake: When the movie begins, a group of kids are watching a documentary. The employee holding the iPad lowers his right arm, then it's raised again in the following shot.

Continuity mistake: When running towards the Pteradons, Claire is with a group of ACU units. Camera changes and she's not in shot. In the reverse angle, she does run to the side, but even from the front angle she should have been visible. (01:22:00)

Ssiscool

Other mistake: When Claire is running to the quad bike she gets a phone call and answers it. However, 1) the phone doesn't light up or show any indication it's ringing and 2) she doesn't press anything but somehow answers the call. (01:19:00)

Masrani: So the paddock is quite safe then...
Claire: Yes. We had the best structural engineers in the world.
Masrani: Yeah, so did Hammond.

Trivia: When the pterosaur flies into the restaurant, a man in a blue denim shirt wearing a safari-brim tan fedora and a red handkerchief tied around his neck can be seen jumping away from the creature. It is not Alan Grant, but this extra was dressed in the same outfit Dr. Grant wore in the original Jurassic Park.

Question: If all of the base DNA for the dinosaurs in the park was obtained from dino-blood inside mosquitoes, where did they get the DNA for the Mosasaurus from? A flying blood-sucking insect would not come into contact with a sea dwelling dinosaur, and there are no amber-equivalents in the ocean to trap any sea based blood suckers.

Answer: And what about just digging for bones for the Mosasaurus? I think this was said somewhere-although I can't remember where so apologies if I'm wrong-but I think Dr. Wu mentioned something about it, so I'm sure they could've gotten DNA WITHOUT getting the blood from a mosquito. It sounds possible in my opinion.

Chosen answer: The scientific inaccuracy of the mosquitoes/DNA notwithstanding, at the end of the film the Mosasaurus surfaces at the edge of its pool in order to drag in the Indominus Rex. Assuming the Mosasaurus did the same thing to catch prey in its own time period, it's feasible a mosquito could have landed on its body and extracted some blood in that short amount of time, especially if the prey was putting up resistance.

And a mosquito would always be in that area and be keen on getting blood from that particular dinosaur? Plus, it didn't take much for the Indominus to be taken down since the Mosasaurus is kind of a big creature, so how hard would it be for other animals to be taken down as well? Added, the Mosasaurus was being fed a shark when we first meet it; it's not like it was hunting on its own in an enclosed area.

Mosquitoes are everywhere, so it's not a matter of convenience that one would be in the same area and being keen on going after that particular animal. Plus, I just pulled up the scene on YouTube and it takes close to 10 seconds for the Mosasaurus to drag the Indominous Rex to its doom, which is plenty of time for a mosquito to land on it and extract blood. And as I stated in the answer, the explanation of DNA being harvested from preserved mosquitoes is scientifically inaccurate anyway, so even a tenuous explanation of how a mosquito would get that animal's blood is no more tenuous than dinosaurs being brought back to life in the first place.
