Entry I have to question what killed the speedboat's crew at the beginning of the movie. I don't think the Pteradons would be that fast in attacking and they were locked in the cage. I doubt the Spinosaurus would go that far out to sea and kill the people that quickly. What other dino(s) could have done it out at sea and so fast (and were so messy eaters)? [This passage isn't very satisfying. There certainly were a large number of predatory marine reptiles, but they would have difficulty with a speeding boat, and if they were out in the water, why would they stay just around the island? The Pterasaurs would have been visible, even if they were loose to attack. The Spinosaurus and other terrestrial dinosaurs might paddle scross shallow water, but they're not going to grab people off a moving speedboat. Effective scene but hard to correlate to the local lifeforms.]
Time
Entry After the first Spinosaurus attack, the survivors run into a feeding T-Rex and he roars at them. Right after the team leaves, Alan says something under his breath. Does anyone know what he says? [I watched this several times on DVD. After Grant says, "Nobody move a muscle," he turns his head to one side as the others run off. His next comment is inaudible, although it appears he's uttering an expletive. My guess is, "Oh sh**." It's also not on the DVD closed captions.]

Entry If there still are dinosaurs on this island, and they are a known threat, why does the government allow them to still live there? With the incident at San Diego, that should have been a harsh wake-up call to the government about the threats of the dinosaurs. [The dinos have no way of leaving the island, so why would any government go and kill them all? A live tiger or lion would be dangerous if released in a city, but governments do not kill them all just in case.]
Time
Entry When the boat is sinking and everyone is in the cage, what does Grant say to Ellie on the satellite phone and how does she know what it means and which island to go to out of the five? [He says "The River, Site B". Obvisouly there is only one main river on Site B (the isalnd). Ellie was smart enough to figure it out.]
Time
Entry Why the heck does Eric keep Tyrannosaur urine in the truck? [He keeps the T-Rex Urine with him, so he can repel off things like velociraptors, and other dangerous carnivores.]
Time
Entry When Grant finds out that Billy stole the velociraptor eggs, the room they are in has broken windows. Why is this? [The Pteranadons broke them attacking the Site B crew before evacuation.]
