Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Ken Wheatley is pointing his tranquilizer gun at Zia after he shot Owen, he puts the gun in his left hand and uses his right hand to wave his men down, but mid wave, the camera cuts to a different angle and he is waving with his left hand while holding the gun in his right hand. (00:30:00)

Continuity mistake: When Claire and Franklin are in the rolling sphere, the door closes and locks. In the next shot, it closes and locks again. (00:43:10)

Suggested correction: This is incorrect. It shows the door closing twice because it is showing both the third person (camera behind Owen) and the first person (Claire's POV) of the door closing. It was deliberately showing what was happening from different perspectives.

This correction is wrong because it doesn't show different perspectives (which films do at times). In the first shot, the door fully closes before Owen gets to the sphere and before he raises his arms. In the next shot, Owen raises his hands before the door closes and is touching the sphere right as the door closes.

Perhaps your version was out of sync when you watched it. It was definitely just two shots from different angles, if you're watching in UHD on a big enough screen you can even see the camera that catches Owen's reaction.

Continuity mistake: When Claire and Franklin shut the hatch on the Baryonyx the debris on top of the hatch changes place instantly. Note there is nothing by the printed "05" in the first shot but there is in the second. (00:39:20)

Continuity mistake: At the meeting, Benjamin Lockwood is approached by a woman from the side and he says "My bloody medicines." His right hand is forward, gripped around the staff of amber in the close up shot. When it cuts to another angle from the side, his arms are down at his side. (00:15:30)

Continuity mistake: When Mills is trying to load the Indominus Rex tooth into his SUV, the sliding side door is open. These doors operate on a catch and lock in place when open or shut until the handle is pulled or the button inside is pressed to automatically close it. As the dinosaurs are escaping, a pterodactyl picks up a soldier and drops it on the vehicle, then in the next shot Mills is panicking and starting to climb under the SUV. In this shot the door is closed. And the soldier being dropped on the hood of the car would not have caused it to close. (01:53:05)

Continuity mistake: When Wheatley grabs the Stegosaurus tooth, his shirt pocket top goes from tucked into his pocket to untucked. (00:49:10)

Continuity mistake: The driving the truck onto the boat scene doesn't make sense. The truck is seen from various angles and in each angle the truck is a different distance from the boat. Some shots it's about 20m max, others it's back to around 100-150m from the boat. (00:51:05)

Continuity mistake: When the Baryonyx lunges at Franklin, Franklin falls back against a white cabinet of sorts. Camera cuts and he's no longer got the cabinet behind him. (00:38:20)

Continuity mistake: When escaping the lorry with Blue in it, there is an aerial shot where a guard walks past the cab towards the back. Camera swaps to a ground level shot and he is back at the front of the lorry. (01:06:50)

Continuity mistake: In the bar, Owen has his hand on the table when Claire mentions about him thinking that he left. Camera changes and his hand is now up by his mouth. (00:17:30)

Continuity mistake: In the fossil room, Owen, Claire and Maisie take off running from the Indoraptor and it leaps off some bones after them. It lands only about a couple feet away from Owen and starts to slide, but in the next shot when it cuts to a different angle, suddenly Owen and the others are several yards away from it at the stairs already. (01:38:15)

Continuity mistake: Franklin plugs in a computer and then snaps his fingers pointing to the left and says "hand" for Claire. It cuts to a different angle as Claire starts to walk where he pointed and suddenly Franklin's arm is back down between shots. (00:29:45)

Video

Plot hole: There was only one T-Rex on the island. When Owen and the others are running down the side of the island escaping the volcanic ash, another dino tries to eat them but then the T-Rex shows up and kills it. This establishes the T-Rex was there in that spot. Owen and the others then wash up back on shore and find the soldiers loading the dinos on a boat and stow away. Then when Blue is bleeding out they have to get a blood transfusion and the only viable candidate is the T-Rex who is now captured and sedated on the ship. How did the soldiers capture, let alone bring the Rex to the ship from where it was seen by Owen back up over hills and rocky terrain? It would have been an all day process just to haul the T-Rex to the ship. It just magically appears on the ship after they stow away on it and can provide the blood Blue needs.

Suggested correction: There was a shot showing the T-rex being carried to the boat via helicopter during the beach scene before the transfusion occurs.

Question: Would any company in their right mind build a theme park (or any business for that matter) on a private island with a volcano? I know populated areas like Hawaii just assume the risk, but wouldn't a company that has the money to purchase their own island do their due diligence and make sure they won't be prone to a major catastrophe like that?

Phaneron

Answer: As it was stated in the film, the volcano had been dormant for many many years. Presumably even since well before the events of the first Jurassic Park movie in the early 90's. It was only recently, between the events of this film and the prior Jurassic World that the volcano had its surprise re-awakening.

Quantom X

For sure, but dormant simply means that the volcano could one day erupt again, so wouldn't it be pretty foolish to gamble on building a multi-billion dollar theme park with the hope that the volcano will never again erupt?

Phaneron

One would think. But just look at our world's history. Like Pompeii, an entire civilization wiped out cause they lived at the base of a dormant volcano. And then even in more recent history. Mount Saint Helens, which I've actually been to and seen the exhibits and footage of it's destruction. Foolish, yeah. But that doesn't stop us from still doing it repeatedly.

Quantom X

I think it's been made pretty clear over the course of all the films that the people building these parks did not exactly think everything through properly. They took a gamble on the volcano, and they lost.

wizard_of_gore

Answer: The volcano has nothing to do with reality. It is a plot device more than twenty years after the original movie. It is contrived for the purpose of telling a new story. Trying to give a logical or scientific explanation is pointless.
