Mistakes
When Sarah walks through the water when she sees Malcolm for the first time on the island her pants are soaked up to mid thigh, in the next scene she is running through the water again and her pants are only soaked up to her knees. See more...
Trivia
Hammond doesn't appear in the second book (though he does in the second movie). This is because, in the book series, Hammond was killed in the first book. He slipped, broke his ankle and was fatally attacked by compies. See more...

Directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Arliss Howard, Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, Peter Stormare, Richard Attenborough, Vince Vaughn (add more)
Ian Malcom: Mummy's very angry.
Ian Malcom: Yes, ooo, ahh, it always starts out that way, and then comes all the screaming and the dying.
Peter Ludlow: Careful. This suit cost more than your education.
Roland Tembo: This is a game trail, Mr. Ludlow. Carnivors hunt on game trails. Do you want to set up base camp or a buffet?
Sarah Harding: I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old. Lions, jackals, hyenas... you.
Ian Malcolm: You sent my girlfriend to this island alone?
John Hammond: Sent is hardly the word. She couldn't be restrained.
Roland Tembo: Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: first, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you have to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in return for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and when is my business. Now if you don't like either of those conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?
John Hammond: Don't worry, I'm not making the same mistakes again.
Ian Malcolm: No, you're making all new ones.
Roland Tembo: The Rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.
Ian Malcolm: Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little more respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo: Then his problems are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen: Yeah, only humans do.
Roland Tembo: Oh, you're breaking my heart. Come on! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!
Ian Malcolm: It's fine if you wanna put your name on something, but stop putting it on other people's headstones.
Ian Malcolm: Did you find him?
Roland Tembo: Just the parts they didn't like.
Ian Malcolm: Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas, and I'm going to be there when you learn that.
