The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Plot summary
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Julianne Moore, Jeff Goldblum, Vince Vaughn, Richard Attenborough, Peter Stormare, Pete Postlethwaite, Arliss Howard
Four years after the failure of Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) reveals to Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) that there was another island, Isla Sorna ("Site B") on which dinosaurs were bred before being transported to Isla Nublar. Left alone since the disaster, the dinosaurs have flourished, and Hammond assembles a team to visit and document the area before it is exploited by others. When the team reaches the island, they soon discover the presence of another group of people. They however are not there for biological data but instead have something more sinister in mind. After a series of events, both groups become stranded when all their communication equipment is lost. It is then that the terror really begins as both groups scramble for their lives as they try to find a way off the island alive.

Roland Tembo: The Rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.
Ian Malcolm: Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little more respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo: Then his problems are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen: Yeah, only humans do.
Roland Tembo: Oh, you're breaking my heart. Come on! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!
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: What happened to the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar? They wander around Isla Sorna on this movie, but no mention is made of the dinosaurs in the original. Does anybody know about their fate? Were they killed? Did they die naturally?

Answer: The dinosaurs on Isla Nublar are not mentioned. In the first book they are destroyed by bombing, which makes the second island more surprising - a lost world.
