Corrected entry: When evacuating the underground lab, one of the scientists grabs the vials of blood and stuffs them into a case. However one of them doesn't go into it all the way and as he shuts the case, if you look closely you can see one of the vials still sticking out which gets broken from being shut in it. (01:34:15)

Quantom X

Correction: The scientist was under orders to grab everything quickly due to the dinosaurs getting loose. He simply does not notice the vial is not in properly and breaks it. Not a mistake.

Corrected entry: The cage housing the Indoraptor during the initial reveal with Maisie was later used as the same hallway Maisie ran down when meeting Owen for the first time. Instead of a cage, it led to a dead end with a dumbwaiter. All bars and floor markings vanished.

Correction: The Lockwood estate is quite large and the basement level would have many similar-looking passages and hallways. Maisie was running down a different hall.

raywest

It wouldn't be a different hallway: @ 1:05:45, she descends spiral staircase into hallway with the indoraptor, @ 1:21:41, camera pans past the cages and the same staircase to show the same hallway with the dumb-waiter.

Corrected entry: How did the mosasarurus survive that long without food? I know the writer of the film says this part takes place a week after the first movie but that's not true. The remains of the Indominus Rex are just a skeleton, that takes a lot longer than a week. And the mosasarurus could have been feeding on it, but then the remains wouldn't have been intact.

brianjr0412

Correction: It could have fed on the other dinosaurs roaming the park that came too close to its lake.

Correction: Colin Trevorrow says the beginning of the film takes place between a week or a month, not necessarily a week, also it could've eaten the Indominus rex slowly or any pteranodons that flew to close to the surface, it was already freed for 2-3 years when Fallen Kingdom actually starts.

Joey221995

Corrected entry: When Claire and Franklin escape the control room and run down the hill with Owen they stop at a tree with one of the orbs behind it. In the previous film when the rides were shut down, all orbs were back at base except the one Claire's nephews were in, and that one was smashed, so where did this one pop up from, miles from base?

Correction: Chances are that lots of stuff went on in the days and weeks that followed the park being abandoned, things like shutting down the power for instance. Since the gyrosphere can stop a 50 calibre bullet, it might have been used by staff to protect them in case they ran into any dinosaurs.

Corrected entry: All these dangerous dinosaurs held in cages and truck trailers and not one trailer or cage is locked, even at the auction later in the film.

Correction: They felt there was no need for locks. The cages were shut and secure enough that the dinosaurs weren't going to get out. And they planned on maintaining watch and control over them and had no fear of someone stealing their dinosaurs. It's like not locking your car when you park it in your garage, which is often also left secured but unlocked.

Bishop73

But surely, if they are prepared to lock the gates at the manor, why not have locks on the cages?

Ssiscool

Character choice isn't a mistake.

But at the manor, they weren't planning on maintaining strict watch over them and/or had more fear of someone could steal them with all the additional guests.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: At the start we see a BBC News report with the presenter walking round the studio (as actually happens in the UK), However there are no camera men at any of the cameras to control them. (00:07:10)

Ssiscool

Correction: On BBC news broadcasts in the studio the cameras are controlled remotely, so there are no camera people present.

Corrected entry: This film takes place just 3 years after the events of Jurassic World. However when the camera pans over the resort you can see the stadium has several trees larger than the stadium in height. Impossible to achieve in 3 years. (00:25:20)

Ssiscool

Correction: It is explained in one of the other films, can't remember which one, think it might have been Sarah in Jurassic Park: The Lost World, that due to the herbivores only eating trees and such, they modified the soil to make stuff grow faster.

Corrected entry: At the start of the film, when the small submersible is swallowed by the underwater dino, the helicopter tries to contact it. The pilot of the helicopter refers to the submersible as Marine One. They would not have used this call sign, as Marine One is the call sign for any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the US President.

Quantom X

Correction: This wasn't a military operation, they were just mercenaries. They used "marine one" as a simple designation for that submersible, and it wasn't like they registered the call-sign with any agencies.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: When Wheatley pulls a tooth out of a juvenile stegosaurus with his pliers, it shows him yanking out a bottom tooth, but when he adds the tooth to his collection it is an upper tooth. (00:49:00)

Joey221995

Correction: When the tooth is seen being added to the collection there is no way to tell if it has come from a bottom or top jawbone.

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.

Corrected entry: Not one vehicle is secured on the ship when it is leaving the island, a long shot shows this, no chains or anything. Even when they arrive they just turn the key and drive out of the cargo area. Without it being secured, no way it would still be in place on arrival. (00:55:55)

Correction: Not sure where you get that logic from? I've been on plenty of ferries and not once has my car been tied down and it didn't move an inch.

Ferries normally operate for short crossings in relatively protected waters and have different design and load characteristics. This ship is leaving for a 2,800 NM (5,186 km) voyage in the open sea. Not securing these heavy trailers will likely mean they may topple or be shifted around, and that can even put the ship at risk of capsizing. I have sailed on similar ships, and trust me, all cargo must be lashed, and the crew verifies the lashing prior to leaving port.

Nauticalisimo

Corrected entry: There is only one T Rex on the island - in one scene she is near the volcano while they are escaping, and in the next scene she has been captured and is on the boat.

Shirlslb66

Correction: That is the same T-rex. After she kills the Carnotaurus she is shown walking off, and when Owen, Claire and Franklin see the helicopters with her in a cage she was just tranquilized offscreen.

Joey221995

Correction: It is never stated that there is only one T-Rex on the island. The veteran rex seen in the previous films was captured and removed from the island. There is at least one more left on the island. Also, I just saw the film again, and shortly after the scene where the T. Rex is with the fleeing animals, a sedated T. Rex can be seen in the background being loaded onto the ship by helicopter. This could be the veteran T. Rex we've seen in the previous movies that was captured as the mercenaries were preparing to evacuate.

raywest

Correction: He just came from underneath a car that was being trampled and crushed by a stampede of dinosaurs who weigh thousands of pounds it's quite obvious he became momentarily deaf which explains why he didn't hear the Tyrannosaurus.

Joey221995

Corrected entry: When the Indoraptor is attacking Owen and Claire, its claw goes through her calf. When she returns in the next scene the wound is in her thigh. (01:41:35)

Correction: It only appears that way but her leg was turned at the time it was stabbed by the claw. The wound didn't move, just her leg did.

Quantom X

Correct. The wound was definitely not in her calf. The claw penetrated her leg above the knee.

raywest

It never appears to be her calf to be fair. You see her knee when it happens.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: Velociraptor "Blue" somehow smells an odorless H2 gas leak and also notices electrical arcing, then is smart enough to realise that an explosion is imminent and runs and jumps while being concussive blasted through a window in true Hollywood fashion.

Correction: The OP makes the mistake of imparting human reasoning and understanding to an animal. Blue hears the hissing of the escaping gas and also sees, hears and smells the electrical arcing. She finds both unfamiliar and is unsure if they might be a threat to her. It's coincidence she turns to run just before the explosion, not "leaking gas plus sparks equals explosion...better run!"

Correction: This entry is wrong, Blue heard the gas, and saw the explosive sign, and ran.

So, dinosaurs can read and recognize labels? Since when?

The raptors are the main antagonist in the books and are repeatedly shown to be insanely intelligent in the books and movies. Even Dr. Grant says that if it wasn't for the meteor that wiped them out they could have become the dominant species on the planet in JP3. One of Blue's pack was killed in a small explosion while fighting the indominus rex. Hence a learning experience. It's odorless to us humans. Our sense of smell is us picking up minute traces of molecules in the air, yes there are many molecules that we'd call oderless but in reality it's only because we can't detect them. It'd be like saying that light outside of the visible spectrum is invisible for all species (which isn't true) because our brains are wired to handle that info. Using that as an example because in Jurassic World it's revealed the Indominus can see infrared.

Corrected entry: When Franklin and Claire are trying to escape the Baryonyx, they use a chair to climb onto the ladder. When the ladder falls, however, the chair is gone. (00:38:50)

Correction: Watch closely. As Franklin steps up to get on the ladder, he stands of the seat then the arm and steps forward on to the ladder. This stepping forward is enough to push the chair out of sight of the floor from in the tunnel. When the ladder crashes down, the chair is a few feet away from where the ladder is.

Ssiscool

Factual error: Owen should be killed instantly by the volcanic ash at the island and he could not run fast enough in order to avoid it. (00:44:15)

Suggested correction: Volcanic ash is is not deadly to the touch and is not high in temperature. At worst it can be toxic if inhaled for long periods of time. There have been plenty of instances where entire towns were engulfed in ash and the residents were fine. What I think this mistake is referring to is something called Pyroclastic flow which is very deadly at 450°C and can travel 80 km an hour. Volcanic ash can sometimes be residue from pyroclastic flow but doesn't have to be precursors or remnants to it. The film never states whether it's volcanic ash or pyroclastic flow but since Owen as well as the dinosaurs inside survive it can easily be inferred to be volcanic ash.

Stupidity: This film reveals that the theme park was built upon a dormant volcano. This means that John Hammond either neglected to do a geological survey when picking a location for his park, or simply ignored it and foolishly gambled that the volcano would never erupt.

Suggested correction: Lots of people live right next to dormant volcanos. It can be thousands of years before a dormant volcano erupts. Might be a risk, but not as much as lets say living on a tectonic boundary or in tornado alley.

lionhead

There's a difference between assuming the risk of living in an area prone to a natural disaster versus building a theme park that's completely reliant on tourism revenue in an area prone to a natural disaster. If a person's home is destroyed by a volcano, they can eventually get a new home, even if it takes a year or two. If a multi-billion dollar theme park is destroyed by a volcano, it's not something that can be replaced so easily, especially since no insurance company in their right mind would cover any of it. Additionally, the island in this film is fictional, which means the writers deliberately chose for a volcanic eruption to be the reason for the evacuation, when they could have just as easily made it so that the military decides to carpet-bomb the island or send in ground troops to gun down all the dinosaurs.

Phaneron

A dormant volcano is a dormant volcano, no reason to think it will erupt only years after you build a theme park on it. The area is not "prone" to a natural disaster. The eruption is a total surprise. Vesuvius erupts once every 2 decades or something and a lot more than a simple theme park is inside its destruction zone (red zone), including 800,000 people. And that is an active volcano. Take a look at Carney Park, a military recreational facility on top of a dormant volcano. Stupid?

lionhead

Yes, it is stupid. If you put a multi-billion dollar investment into an area where it could be destroyed by a volcanic eruption, it is a stupid decision, regardless of whether it's real life or fiction.

Phaneron

Also, the examples you gave are areas with civilian populations that rely on those types of attractions to help stimulate the local economy. Isla Nublar is a privately owned island with no civilian population to speak of, other than park employees, meaning it is 100% reliant on tourism for its revenue.

Phaneron

How many theme parks are built in California, which is severely prone to earthquakes?

LorgSkyegon

That's not an apples to apples comparison. California has a heavy civilian population and theme parks help contribute to their economy. Jurassic World is located on an isolated island with no civilian population and has to rely completely on tourism to stay in business.

Phaneron

Corrected entry: Before Wheatley tries to remove one of the Indoraptor's teeth, he shoots two tranquilizer darts into its neck. When the Indoraptor bites Wheatley's arm, the darts are gone.

Correction: It could have easily just fallen off when off screen.

Quantom X

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)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

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.

Bishop73

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.

More trivia for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

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.
