Jurassic Park III

Revealing mistake: When father and son are parasailing, in the close-ups (an obvious green screen effect) the clouds never change shape, note the small one on the left, revealing it's a still image.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: After a guy shoots at an abandoned jet, the objective lens still shows the plane undamaged, as it was before he fired.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the boat carrying the parasailing guys is about to crash, the sky keeps swapping between cloudy and sunny depending on the shot.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the front of the plane is ripped off, there are 2 people sat in the pilot and co pilot seat. As the camera changes one of them has disappeared from the seat and is further back in the plane. (00:24:50)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When the spinosaurus is chasing Grant and the kid and hits the fence the sun changes between shots.

Other mistake: When the Navy picks up the survivors, the person on the radio says that they have 6 souls on board. They only picked up 5 people.

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

Suggested correction: The 5 he picked up and including himself.

This correction really makes no sense. The pilot says "6 souls on board" but there's at least 9 on board. Grant, Paul, Amanda, and Eric, were picked up. Billy was already on board. Then there was the Man in Suit, 2 pilots, and a what appears to be an attending medical officer.

Other mistake: When the plane drops out of the tree with the tail going down and all the people in the tail, it crashes and the metal actually crushes upward. There is no way that those people could walk out of that plane uninjured.

Cynthia Gurski

Factual error: When they find the camcorder and discover the battery is dead, Udesky takes the batteries from his Maglite, and they magically work in the camcorder.

Dr. Alan Grant: Well, you're alive, and that's the important thing. And thanks to you, that's one thing we have in common. Did you read Malcolm's book?
Eric Kirby: Yeah.
Dr. Alan: So?
Eric: I...I don't know. I mean, it was kinda preachy. Too much chaos, everything's chaos. Seemed like the guy was kinda high on himself.
Dr. Alan: Well, that's two things we have in common.

Trivia: The scenes with the flying dinosaurs were supposed to be in the original movie, as it was part of the book Jurassic Park, but Spielberg decided not to include this in the first movie due to budget restraints.

Question: When the boat is sinking and everyone is in the cage, what does Grant say to Ellie on the satellite phone and how does she know what it means and which island to go to out of the five?

Answer: He says "The River, Site B." Obvisouly there is only one main river on Site B (the island). Ellie was smart enough to figure it out.

XIII

But how does she get a US navy battle group to turn up? Previously the US embassy wouldn't send anyone for a missing child, but a fleet for an old man off a very garbled phone call? As far as I remember, she had a fairly ordinary job/life in a suburb of the America.

Ellie's husband is Mark Degler, who works at the State Department, and it's with his connections that the rescue gets underway. Early in the movie Ellie told Grant he's bad about asking for help, and he should ask her anything anytime. Near the end, before their phone line was cut off, Ellie had heard the dinosaur roar and screams, so she knew Grant was in trouble.

Super Grover

I think it has something to do with what her husband does for a living.

Answer: Ellie's husband is in treaties and diplomatic relations and would be able to get a rescue group sent.
