Trivia: Velociraptors were much smaller in real life than as depicted in this film series. The ones in the film are closer in size to Utahraptors, which were discovered by paleontologist Jim Kirkland during pre-production of the film. The dinosaur was nearly called Utahraptor spielbergi in honour of the director, but the company employing Kirkland prevented it due to Universal being overly-litigious around the time of the film's release. Instead it was named Utahraptor ostrommaysi.

Trivia: Wayne Knight wishes they had Nedry's death more faithful to the original novel, which saw him getting eviscerated by the Dilophosaurus (which is accurately larger in the novel), with his intestines falling into his hands, and then scooped up by his head and carried off in its mouth, wishing to himself that it will all be over soon.

Trivia: At the very end of the episode, Eric sinks all 15 billiard balls as well as the cue ball. This was achieved on the very first take.

Supposedly, it was a world record for the most billiard balls sunk in one shot for a television or film production.
