Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

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: 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: Owen would have been killed while sedation wore off when lava was creeping towards him. A person would die from the heat metres away let alone a metre like when he was by the log. (00:37:30 - 00:38:00)

Houma R L Dave

Correction: Not necessarily. It all depends what type of rock/lava it is. Even if you touch lava, you would get a nasty burn but you wouldn't die unless you were engulfed by it. The true mistake here is that with the amount of time he spent so close to the flow, he would have at least had first degree burns and redness all over.

wizard_of_gore

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.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: The lagoon where the amphibian dinosaur is living is not connected to a river or to the sea, so it was impossible that he reached the open sea.

oswal13

Correction: It's not a lagoon. It's a very large enclosed area of the ocean.

Greg Dwyer

Correction: There's a canal connecting from the Lagoon, flowing through a part of the island leading to the ocean.

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

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

Correction: He doesn't shoot through it. He shoots into it, fracturing it, and the bullets ricochet back into him.

It's clear they don't ricochet.

Ssiscool

They do ricochet which is why he drops the gun suddenly on the second shot as one hits his hand. But there is no way he'd be able to fracture it with a pistol as that glass can apparently stop a 50 calibre bullet.

Correction: I just took it as a "spared no expense" kind of thing, swear up and down that it's safe and cut corners to make it cheap. You know like hiring Dennis Nedry to automate the park to cut down payroll expenses, using run of the mill Ford Explorers and bragging about it, using the tragedy of a little girl getting attacked to take control of the company then hiring a bunch of "Marlboro men" to go in and bring dinos back to the US (because that's totally not about lying to everyone in the attempt to make a bunch of money, we all know how much safer bringing the dinos around people is compared to just leaving them alone). Point is, it could be a mistake or it could be within the Jurassic Park theme that's been going on since the books, corporate greed and cutting expenses > lives.

Correction: And yet during that video, multiple problems were occurring and the I-Rex was still able to poke its claw through the glass. Obviously it wasn't fully secure, especially since it was only meant to be around herbivores, not a dinosaur on the loose.

Corrected entry: So the Indoraptor is engineered in such a way that you take a laser pointer, aim it at the object you want to have destroyed and push a button. At the auction, people are willing to pay tens of millions for such a "killing machine." but in terms of practicability, if you need to point at your target and push a button, resorting to a rifle and a 50-cent-bullet seems more logical.

Correction: Additionally, there's more cost than just a bullet to kill a target. First, you have to find someone willing to kill for you, train them, and even then it's not a guarantee they could kill their target. Plus, you can use airplanes, helicopters, or drones to pinpoint targets and the Indoraptor can attack several targets, including fleeing targets that a sniper might not be able to target once the targets start to flee or hide.

Bishop73

Well put. The advantages of the indoraptor seriously outweigh that of an individual.

Ssiscool

That would make sense if the indoraptor wasn't portrayed as being hilariously inept at killing small, unarmed children.

BaconIsMyBFF

That's a completely different topic regarding plot convenience. We saw the I-Rex kill 8 people and even more dinosaurs.

Bishop73

Correction: It might be more practical, but people are bidding for the Indoraptor on the basis that people are going to be more afraid and terrified by this unique killing machine. If you've got a man with a rifle, several men could fire at him and kill him. If that man has got the Indoraptor with him, they will more likely run from the target. Making the attacker safer for lack of a better word.

Ssiscool

The movie demonstrates quite ironically that the indoraptor is practically useless in a combat situation. It can't seem to kill an unarmed 8 year old girl. The idea that a trained soldier would be so terrified of the dinosaur they wouldn't shoot at it seems ludicrous. People hunt deadly creatures that could easily kill a man all over the world for fun.

BaconIsMyBFF

Correction: Remember from Jurassic World, one of the points made about using raptors was drones can't clear caves, hard to safely do with a gun. Pitch dark, unknown layout, unknown enemy. But marking a bad guy who ran in there and sending in vicious monster that can see thermal and has a superb sense of smell (part T-rex), plus marking a specific target in a crowded area could lessen collateral damage. Theoretically if the indoraptor doesn't try to kill everyone in sight after killing the target. But we have to remember the auction wasn't exactly US Army R&D, it was warlords, weapons dealers, and terrorists. People who may just use it to intimidate others or use it as an execution device for propaganda (Like ISIS beheading people and filming it).

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Ken Wheatley is pointing his tranquilizer gun at Zia after he shot Owen, he puts the gun in his left hand and uses his right hand to wave his men down, but mid wave, the camera cuts to a different angle and he is waving with his left hand while holding the gun in his right hand. (00:30:00)

More trivia for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Question: Who is Maisey a clone of? I know her 'mother' died in a car crash but when she asked if her mother visited the park a long time ago, Lockwood answered with "a long time ago" and the camera pans out to a model of the original park.

Answer: Masie is a clone of Benjamin Lockwood's daughter. Benjamin's daughter did die in a car accident and when that happened, he wanted to clone her. But John Hammond was against the idea of cloning humans (which is why the partnership broke up). Once John Hammond died, Benjamin went ahead and cloned his daughter. Only, because of the amount of time that passed and his age, Benjamin tells people Masie is his granddaughter and the cover story is Masie's mother died in a car accident, which is why he's raising her. However, I do not know if Benjamin's actual daughter was also named Masie or if that's a new name. I got the impression that Benjamin's actual daughter died at a young age, and since he wanted to clone her right away, he kept the fact that his young daughter died a secret. So as far as most people knew, Benjamin's daughter grew up and had a child and then Benjamin tells people his (adult) daughter died in a car accident.

Bishop73

I think what they mean is if she was a character from the original movies somehow.

His daughter was not an earlier character in the other films. Lockwood is just reflecting on his late daughter, who he loved and misses. Like John Hammond's grandchildren, Lockwood's daughter likely visited the park at some point. His glancing at the original Jurassic Park model seems to be a reference to the cloning procedure that produced Maisie.

raywest

In the original movies, no, she's not a character (at least what I can recall). Benjamin Lockwood doesn't even appear in any of the original Jurassic Park trilogy films (I'm not familiar with the books enough to know if any Lockwoods appear in those stories though). In "Fallen Kingdom" it's implied Lockwood's daughter visited the island where Jurassic Park was built, meaning she would have done so prior to the events of the first "Jurassic Park" film.
