Continuity mistake: When we first see the sphere the door is on the top. Camera changes and now the door is instantly on the side and the sphere is the right way up. This has nothing to do with the dinosaurs that are passing by knocking it. (00:41:20)
Continuity mistake: In the court room during the opening, a monitor shows Malcolm raising his arms and pointing up with both fingers as he speaks. It then cuts to a view of him directly as he continues on the same sentence and suddenly his hands are on the desk. (00:08:35)
Continuity mistake: On Isla Nublar when Claire is running her shirt can be seen without any shoulder sleeves, but for the rest of the film she suddenly has shoulder sleeves.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the bar scene, Claire is laughing hysterically and it shows a shot of Owen looking at her. In this shot his hand is around his beer bottle holding it at the base. When the shot cuts to a different angle showing her, his hand is just between the two bottles without holding one. (00:18:25)
Continuity mistake: When Franklin gets the blood from Blue on his mouth, one second it's fresh, the next it's dry. (00:57:15)
Continuity mistake: When the group is escaping from the volcano, the whole sequence when they are trying to reach the boat shows different times of the day. At one point they are standing on the rocks watching men loading the dinosaurs into the boat with the sun directly behind them and behind the volcano, then as they are running to get in the truck, the sun is right above them. Once aboard the boat the sun appears to be again behind the island and the volcano. (00:47:10)
Continuity mistake: The Ford Explorer was laying out in the open where it was left after the events of Jurassic Park. But the huge tree that it fell out of was nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: When Owen and Franklin are climbing in the truck, from the reverse angle Franklin is next to Owen, but from the front angle he's not. (00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: At the start we see Marine one approach the gates and they aren't even half way open. In the second shot they're open much wider. (00:01:40)
