Character mistake: When they're on the island and the INGen helicopters are flying in, Jeff Goldblum takes the binoculars and looks through the wrong end. (00:32:30)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Julianne Moore, Jeff Goldblum, Vince Vaughn, Richard Attenborough, Peter Stormare, Pete Postlethwaite, Arliss Howard
Malcolm, Sarah, Kelly and Nick get off the island and Ingen capture the T-rex and the kid. Roland declares that he has 'spent enough time in the company of death' and leaves. Back in the city the Rex breaks loose to look for its baby. Malcolm and Sarah find the kid and lure the T-rex away from people with it. They leave it in the ships hold and then escape. Hammonds nephew Peter Ludlow (I think that's his name) comes in to find the kid and does. The Rex comes along and lets the baby take care of Ludlow. Its all grown up! As the doors of the hold close Sarah shoots the Rex with a sleeping dart. It is transported back to Jurassic park and the movie ends with Malcolm, Sarah and Kelly on the sofa in front of the tv. The TV is showing an interview with John Hammond. Hammond ends the movie by quoting Malcolm's words from the first movie, saying that 'Life will find a way'.

Ian Malcom: Yes, ooo, ahh, it always starts out that way, and then comes all the running and screaming.
Trivia: The T-Rex gets off the ship in San Diego. But the street seen is San Fernando Road in Burbank, about 130 miles north of San Diego. Nothing obvious unless you know the area, but worth a look for locals.
Question: In the scene just after Ian and crew have released the baby Rex back to its parents, Sarah states that the argument on T-Rex parenting "is now academic" and Ian seems to react to this with worry. Why? What is it about Sarah's statement that scares him? Or is he even reacting to her at all?

Answer: Just after she makes the statement, Ian sees the T-Rex outside of the van window and realises that it is going to attack them regardless of the fact that they've returned the baby Rex.
