What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Michael Crichton's novel "The Lost World" (1995).
- The ship used to transport the Tyrannosaurus Rex was called S.S. Venture, just like the ship in the film "King Kong" (1933).
- Screenwriter David Koepp played the role of the man eaten by the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the store – this role was listed in the credits as "unlucky bastard." Steven Spielberg also makes a cameo appearance – he plays a man eating popcorn.
- The novel lacks the incident with the girl attacked by compsognathus (a similar incident with procompsognathus occurs in the previous novel – 'Jurassic Park').
- Unlike the film, the novel does not feature John Hammond, as he was torn apart by procompsognathus in the previous novel.
- In the novel, the main antagonist is not Peter Ludlow, but Lewis Dodgson. His plan also involves removing dinosaur eggs from the island, not the dinosaurs themselves.
- The novel, unlike the film, does not include gallimimus, compsognathus, or pteranodons. Conversely, the film omits mussaurus and carnotaurus, which are present in the book.
- In the film, during a conversation with Malcolm at Hammond's house, Ludlow mentions his statements to the press regarding what actually happened on Nublar Island, which violated his agreements with InGen. In the book, however, Malcolm fully honored all agreements with InGen.
- Malcolm's novel did not feature a daughter.
- In a San Diego video store, there's a poster for a film called "King Lear" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In reality, the film doesn't exist.
- Vince Vaughn landed a role in this film after Spielberg saw him in "Swingers" (1996).
- The film held the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for several years.
- Steven Spielberg wanted Juliette Binoche to play the role of Sarah Harding, but the actress replied that she would only appear in the film if she could play a dinosaur. Previously, Binoche turned down the role of Dr. Sattler in "Jurassic Park" (1993). Ultimately, the role went to Julianne Moore.
- The film employed 50 stunt performers, whereas the first film used only 13.
- This film marked the first appearance of the new "Universal" studio logo.
- Joe Johnston was very keen to direct, but work on "Jumanji" (1995) ran long, and he was forced to decline. Spielberg himself also really wanted to direct a sequel to his film, promising Johnston the direction of the third film, and he kept his word.
- Screenwriter David Koepp took into account a letter from a viewer of the first film who complained about having to wait too long for the dinosaurs to appear on screen. Therefore, Koepp introduced a dinosaur in the very first scenes of this film.
- Like the first film, this one was shot ahead of schedule: in 69 days instead of the planned 74.
- Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes weighed 9 tons each, so the sets were built around them: it was easier than moving the dinosaurs into completed sets.
- In the scene where the T-Rex bites a traffic light, the inscription “NO DINOSAURS” can be read on a road sign in the right side of the frame.
- It is no coincidence that as the Tyrannosaurus approaches the residential areas of San Diego, it raises its paw to scratch its head. This simple movement is a nod to the film “King Kong” (1933), in which the Tyrannosaurus makes the same gesture before engaging in a fight with King Kong himself.
- Japanese tourists, frantically running away from the rampaging T-Rex, shout in Japanese: “Did I leave Japan just to run away from this?”
- While walking through the residential areas of San Diego, the T-Rex glances at a basketball hoop and makes a movement with its right forelimb that clearly resembles dribbling.
- A game based on the film was released.
- Eli Roth made a cameo appearance, playing the role of a man on the subway.
- Art Malik turned down the role of Ajay Sidhu.
- The baby stegosaurus that Sarah Harding photographed on set was named Claire.
- A number of scenes were cut from the film, some of which can be seen in the original trailer: A conversation between Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu in a bar. Peter Ludlow at a press conference for the Ingen corporation. Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes attempt to get to Kelly in the treehouse. A fight between a T-Rex and a Raptor. A T-Rex eats crew members of the ship 'S.S. Venture'. Kelly discusses with Ian whether he should marry Sarah. A Mamenchisaurus sauropod was supposed to appear in a scene with stegosaurs, but was never included in the film's script. The scenes in the tall grass were supposed to include the following moments: the remaining mercenary group members were to jump off a cliff and glide on a hang glider, where they are attacked by Pteranodons, and Ajay Sidhu was to be killed by one of the Pteranodons. A scene of Pteranodons attacking rescue helicopters.
- In the scene where Kelly looks at the map, five fictional islands, "Las Cinco Muertes" (Five Deaths), can be seen: Ayla Matanceros, Ayla Muerte, Ayla Sorna (the island where the film's action takes place), Ayla Takano, and Ayla Pena.
- Paleontologist Burke is a caricature of the real Robert Bakker.
- Screenwriter David Koepp took the names Roland and Van Owen from Warren Zevon's song "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner".
- This film features 50% more dinosaurs than the first film.
- The weapons featured in the film: LAR Grizzly Big Boar – the mercenaries' rifle firing tranquilizers; Searcy Double Barrel Rifle – Roland Tembo's hunting rifle; Heckler & Koch HK91A2 – Dieter Stark's assault rifle; Winchester Model 70 – Ajay's rifle; AKMS – used by a mercenary during the escape from the Tyrannosaurus; Lindstradt Tranquilizer Rifle – a blowgun firing tranquilizers; Dan Inject Model JM – Dieter Stark's rifle; Franchi SPAS-12 – held by a mercenary; M1911A1 – used by "InGen" security guards.
- In the film, Peter Ludlow, whose prototype was Lewis Dodgson from the book, died in the cargo hold of the ship, where he was wounded by an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex and torn apart by its juvenile. In the novel, Lewis Dodgson was trapped on an island where he was torn apart by juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rexes in their lair.
- In the novel, Eddie Carr was not killed by Tyrannosaurus Rexes, but torn apart by Velociraptors who were trying to break into his treehouse refuge.
- In the film, 17 corpses: Eddie Carr; one Raptor; mercenary Carter; "unlucky bastard"; Ajay Sidhu; 7 mercenaries; Peter Ludlow; Robert Burke; a stray dog; Dieter Stark.
- In the novel *Jurassic Park*, Ian Malcolm received an open fracture and died of sepsis after encountering a Tyrannosaurus Rex. In the sequel, *The Lost World*, Michael Crichton suddenly resurrects him, believing that his character shouldn't simply die like that.
- In the novel, Malcolm himself expressed a desire to go to the island, unlike the film where he agreed to participate in the expedition to save Sarah Harding, who in the novel arrived on the island later than Malcolm.
- Vehicles used in the film: Mercedes-Benz ML 320 – appears as two SUVs; both are destroyed by Tyrannosaurs; Fleetwood Southwind Storm – a trailer with all the necessary equipment and communication; destroyed by Tyrannosaurs; Cagiva Canyon 500 – a motorcycle used by mercenaries during dinosaur capture; Hummer – 2 versions are present: standard and for dinosaur capture; Jeep Wrangler – used by mercenaries during the chase after dinosaurs; Pontiac LeMans – a convertible in which Ian and Sarah drive while searching for the male Tyrannosaur in the city; BMW 733i – a sedan driven by a woman screaming in panic when she sees a Tyrannosaur; Buick LeSabre – appears in the city during the Tyrannosaur's rampage on the city streets; Chevrolet Chevy Van – a minivan in which Nick arrives; Ford Crown Victoria – a car of the San Diego Police Department; Ford Windstar – a beaten-up sedan at a gas station; GM TDH 5307 A – a bus with passengers; after colliding with a Tyrannosaur, it crashes into a video store; GMC Sierra – a pickup truck of the animal control department; International Harvester Scout Traveler – a car at the abandoned communications center base; Mercedes-Benz Unimog – a truck for mercenaries to capture dinosaurs; Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale – a sedan that the woman driving the BMW 733i crashes into; Chevrolet Blazer – a car at the abandoned communications center base; Chevrolet Suburban – a car at the abandoned communications center base; Ford Contour – a parked car on the city street; Lincoln Town Car Stretched Limousine – a limousine parked at the dock; Lincoln Town Car – Peter Ludlow's sedan; Mercury Sable – a parked car on the city street; Mercury Tracer – a parked car on the city street; Peterbilt 379 – a truck parked at the dock; Pontiac Grand Am – a car abandoned on the street; Toyota Corolla – a parked car on the city street.
- Experienced hunter Roland (Pete Postlethwaite) walks with an elephant rifle under heavy rain, holding the barrel upwards. This would render the rifle inoperable, as water would enter the barrel.
- When Dr. Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) observes the approaching helicopters, he holds his binoculars backwards.
- When Sarah Harding is surrounded by Stegosauruses, the first one (the one that hits her with its tail) is not reflected in the river water.
- When Nick picks up the baby Tyrannosaur, a bottle of whiskey and a mug can be seen nearby, which were not present in the previous shots.
- When the Triceratops attacks the InGen base, its tail is invisible during the dinosaur escape.
- When Eddie climbs into the trailer to rescue Ian, Sarah, and Nick, his hand rests on broken glass as he climbs up. There are inexplicably no cuts or injuries on his hand.
- At the end of the film, a Pteranodon lands on a tree branch like a bird. In reality, it would not have been capable of doing so.
- During the Stegosaurus scene, you can hear the Nikon F5 camera in Sarah's hands rewinding film, but the spool does not rotate, although it should, as professional cameras have a semi-automatic rewinding mechanism – the film can always be manually rewound.
- Nick, who lent Sarah the camera, twice takes out a digital camcorder when filming the Stegosaurus.
- Sarah says there are three stegosaurs: a pair and their offspring, but there were four of them trampling around.
- The snake crawling on Burke’s shirt is non-venomous and, in fact, not American at all, but African.
- The waves created by the approaching Tyrannosaurus Rex radiate from the center of the puddle, like ripples from small pebbles.
- Ian Malcolm tried to give Kelly the note with his phone number three times. It’s unclear where he got the note the third time, since his daughter took it after the second attempt.
- A raptor jumps inside the gas station, where Ian Malcolm had previously run, breaking a window. Outside, the glass in the frames is completely missing, and inside – a shard of glass protrudes from the frame in the corner near the door.
- Malcolm, rushing out of the gas station, immediately runs back inside. The entrance door remains perpendicular to the entrance, but from the inside it is thrown wide open and leaned against the inner wall of the gas station.
- When the raptor pushes Malcolm out the window, he gets up and it is visible that a tuft of dry grass is sticking out of the ground, and a wooden structure on legs is leaning to the left of the gas station entrance. Malcolm runs to the car, and there is a shot change. At this moment, the tuft of grass at the corner of the gas station is gone, and the wooden structure is lying in a different place, although neither Malcolm nor the raptor touched it.
- When Sarah and Kelly find themselves in the booth, besieged by two more raptors, during the first impact on the booth from the outside, two pieces of metal fall to the floor inside, one falling 20 centimeters from the door. In a close-up shot of the floor near the entrance door, there is no metal piece.
- In the scene with the raptors, it can be seen that they dug a small pit trying to get into the booth. When Malcolm runs up to the booth, he steps on the spot where the pit should be, but his foot doesn't sink even an inch.
- Sarah and Kelly are standing under the booth's roof, and Kelly is preparing to jump onto the crossbar. It is visible that she is secured with two ropes around her waist. Sarah is secured with a similar rope, which is faintly visible between her right arm and head.
- During the raptor chase scene, Sarah knocks out window planks and climbs onto the roof. The knocked-out planks lie on the tiles (there are 3 or 4 of them). Sarah jumps from the spot onto a neighboring roof, which is about four meters away. A raptor then climbs onto the roof after her. It is visible that there is another plank on the roof that wasn't there in the previous shot. The raptor catches this plank, and it falls to the ground.
- In the scene where Malcolm and Sarah arrive at the room where the baby Tyrannosaurus is hidden, they snag a spotlight on a stand just before stopping the car, causing it to fall to the ground. When they return to the car, the spotlight is back in its original position.
- On the bus, the windshield wipers touch each other. When the male Tyrannosaurus appears, the wipers are already some distance apart.
- A passenger sitting on the seat behind the bus driver disappears in the next shot.
- The last digit of the bus number changes from '7' (outside) to '8' (when the bus enters the video store).
- The first vehicle approaches the edge of the field, with no one in front of it, but there are tire tracks on the ground (the grass is flattened).
- Dieter Stark exits the vehicle with a rifle in his left hand. In the next frame, the rifle is in his right hand.
- The rifle on Eddie Carr's lap in the next frame moves to his shoulder.
- In the scene where the trailer is hanging off the cliff, the characters are holding onto everything they can. Sarah is holding onto the door of a metal cabinet, and Ian Malcolm's hand can be seen on the door. In the next frame, when Sarah falls down, Ian's hand is no longer visible on the door.
- Fleeing from the female Tyrannosaurus Rex, the characters pass through a waterfall and get soaked to the bone. When they emerge into the tall grass where the mercenaries were attacked by Velociraptors, they appear completely dry.
- Because the scene with the Tyrannosaurus was cut from the film, it becomes unclear how it ate the crew members if it was in the cargo hold the entire time.
- The film is based on Michael Crichton’s novel “The Lost World” (1995).
- The ship used to transport the Tyrannosaurus was called S.S. Venture, just like the ship in the film “King Kong” (1933).
- In the scene where the T-Rex bites the traffic light, you can read the inscription “NO DINOSAURS” on a road sign on the right side of the frame.
- It is no coincidence that as the Tyrannosaurus approaches the residential areas of San Diego, it raises its paw to scratch its head. This simple movement is a nod to the film “King Kong” (1933), in which the Tyrannosaurus makes the same gesture before engaging in a fight with King Kong himself.
- A number of scenes were cut from the film, some of which can be seen in the original trailer: A conversation between Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu in a bar. Peter Ludlow at a press conference for the Ingen Corporation. Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes attempting to reach Kelly in a treehouse. A fight between a T-Rex and a Raptor. A T-Rex eats crew members from the ship "S.S. Venture". Kelly discusses with Ian whether he should marry Sarah. A Mamenchisaurus sauropod was supposed to appear in a scene with Stegosauruses, but was ultimately not included in the film's script. The scenes in the tall grass were supposed to include the following: the remaining members of the mercenary group were to jump off a cliff and glide on a hang glider, where they are attacked by Pteranodons, and Ajay Sidhu was to be killed by one of them. A scene of Pteranodons attacking rescue helicopters.
- In the scene where Kelly looks at the map, five fictional islands called "Las Cinco Muertes" (The Five Deaths) can be seen: Isla Matanceros, Isla Muerta, Isla Sorna (the island where the film takes place), Isla Takano, and Isla Pena.
- When the Triceratops attacks the InGen base, its tail is invisible during the dinosaurs' escape.
