Corrected entry: Bryce Dallas Howard incorrectly describes the Idominous Rex as InGen's "First genetically-modified hybrid." Every single InGen dinosaur has been a GMH. They're hybrids in the sense of being mixed with frog DNA and genetically modified to not produce correct amino acids in case of escape. A more accurate line would be "We have our first multiple dinosaur hybrid."
Correction: If you watch the behind-the-scenes bonus features for this scene, you hear Claire have an extra part of her dialogue; "a new species built from scratch." Even without this line, Dr. Wu says that Indominus wasn't bred, but designed, so Claire is still accurate.
Corrected entry: After the Avians terrorize the center of the theme park there are dead animals everywhere, broken windows... Fast forward in the movie time just a few hours later and the main street looks brand new.
Correction: No. They just picked up the bodies and such. The main street was still damaged from the attack.
Corrected entry: Chris Pratt is in the control room and knocks over the toy dinosaurs on Lowery's desk. Camera cuts to another actor and when it cuts back the toys are back on the desk.
Correction: They cut to Bryce Dallas Howard then to Pratt walking up to the owner and talking (you see the clear desk in the background). After the conversation they cut to a wideshot of the actor putting the toys back on the desk.
Corrected entry: When Zach and Gray are waiting in the line for the gyro-sphere, every 20-30 seconds one sphere is leaving. But when they are driving around there is no other gyro-sphere anywhere else around to see. Since these vehicles are not driving that fast, there should at least be some nearby.
Correction: There is one other gyrosphere that can be seen in the distance. On the electronic map in the control room you can also see locations of nearby gyrospheres.
Corrected entry: Gray and Zach are given VIP passes that mean they don't have to wait in line for attractions. However, they are seen queuing for the Gyrospheres.
Corrected entry: When the kids are watching the mosasaurus show just before it eats the shark. Everyone is holding a phone, tablet or camera. But As soon the water splashes over the public no one has them in their hands anymore.
Correction: In the shot you're talking about, there are 4 devices seen recording the show. In the next shot, before the water hits, you can see the 4 people holding their device.
Corrected entry: Instead of waiting for Claire to get to the control room and inform them of the Indominus Rex's location, Owen and the guards idiotically walk into the pen to check for themselves. Not only does this lead to the Rex escaping, but would have solved nothing anyway.
Correction: They thought it had escaped because they saw claw marks on the walls, and assumed it would be big enough to be seen if it was anywhere remotely nearby. They had no reason to even consider that it could hide inside the compound with camouflage.
Corrected entry: A handler falls a good distance into the raptor paddock and lands on his back, but gets up as if nothing has happened.
Correction: It is entirely possible to survive a fall like that onto your back with no serious damage, especially if he were to go limp. He did not appear to have time to tense up during his fall, which would have reduced damage. Also, the adrenaline would have helped him work through the pain and/or damage.
No it's not possible to survive a fall like that without being receiving serious damage especially given the very large number of Gs of force your body would receive.
Look up the names Chris Saggers, fell from the 22nd story of a building and walked away with a minor fracture, or Julianne Diller, who fell out of an aircraft at 10,000 ft without a parachute and not only survived, was in good enough condition to walk for 10 days in a Peruvian rainforest to get back to civilization. Point being, luck plays a part and the g forces from falling 20 feet aren't as bad as you might think.
The fall was over 30 feet, but bringing up stories of people who sustained substantial injuries doesn't bode well for your argument by that a fall from 20 feet (which isn't even the height he fell from) wouldn't result in injury. Plus, depending on the stopping distance, a fall from 20 feet would easily result in a g-force of over 150 (most concussions deliver 95 g's).
Corrected entry: When Claire and Owen are at the top of the waterfall after the boys have jumped, she takes off her belt, rolls up her sleeves and ties her shirt up. When she walks away, there is no sign of the belt on the ground.
Corrected entry: When Zach and Gray are waiting for the gyrosphere, Zach stares at two girls and there's two more behind them. When the gyrosphere arrives for the first pair, there's no sign of the second pair. (00:49:00)
Corrected entry: Just before the Indominus Rex ambush, in one shot the Asset Containment Unit trooper Meyers is equipped with a taser-rifle. In the next, she's equipped with a cattle prod. This happens at least twice. (00:46:10)
Corrected entry: After the boys jump off the waterfall and crawl out of the river they find the old visitor centre, where Gray somehow pulls a dry box of matches out of his pocket.
Correction: Prior to this scene, Gray had a fanny-pack on (Zack even has a line telling him to cover it up), so he pulled the matches out of it, not his pocket.
Corrected entry: When Gray and Zach are being attacked by the Indominus Rex while in the gyro sphere, they are facing upward when the dinosaur bites down on the sphere. When they unbuckle their seat belts and fall out, they are facing downward.
Correction: You see the gyroscope move downward whilst trapped by the indominus.
Corrected entry: When the kid tries to rescue the pig in the raptors' area, he falls from over 30 feet up and gets no injury of any kind - he's later absolutely fine and releasing the raptors from the paddock. (00:23:50)
Correction: While not likely, it is possible to fall from a height such as that and sustain no injury.
How do you know that for sure? I have never heard of people surging 30 foot falls without receiving any injury.
There's instances of people falling off midrises with only mild injuries, people survive skydiving accidents, but a young person falling 20 feet (it's no where near a 3 story drop). Just looked up a couple names Chris Staggers and Julianne Diller, look them up.
I didn't see any fall related story for Chris Stagger, but Juliane Diller suffered a broken collarbone, gashes, and her eye was swollen shut, which is the whole point of the mistake. The mistake never claims a fall from that height would have killed him, only that he would have at least SOME kind of injury. The fact that about 50% of people die from falls at a height of 48 feet, and that falls are the 2nd leading cause of accidental deaths, the mistake is valid that a fall of more than 30 feet would result in some injury, if not a major life threatening injury.
It does seem more like 15-20 feet instead of 30. He falls flat onto his back, the safest way to fall as it spreads out of the impact. In addition, we don't actually know that he suffered no injury. Since he wasn't rendered unconscious, he was well aware that he just fell into the raptor pen. The adrenaline surge he would have been going through would have meant pain would have been pushed aside.
Correction: Largely semantics. Whilst you're right that frog DNA was used in the original movie's premise and that technically they were genetically modified, they also made it clear that they then bred them beyond that stage to be pure Stegosaurus or T-Rex but with the one caveat of withholding one vital element to control them. In Lost World, this particular genetically modified hybrid is NEW in the way that the species has never existed in history before, it is man made.
