Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Continuity mistake: The driving the truck onto the boat scene doesn't make sense. The truck is seen from various angles and in each angle the truck is a different distance from the boat. Some shots it's about 20m max, others it's back to around 100-150m from the boat. (00:51:05)

Continuity mistake: When Franklin gets the blood from Blue on his mouth, one second it's fresh, the next it's dry. (00:57:15)

Continuity mistake: When escaping the lorry with Blue in it, there is an aerial shot where a guard walks past the cab towards the back. Camera swaps to a ground level shot and he is back at the front of the lorry. (01:06:50)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When they break out the cell, the door is knocked open. Camera changes and the gate is closed with the padlock still attached. (01:18:00)

Continuity mistake: In the fossil room, Owen, Claire and Maisie turn round a corner when hiding from the indoraptor. Camera changes and Maisie is back turning the corner again. (01:35:00)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: In the fossil room, Owen, Claire and Maisie take off running from the Indoraptor and it leaps off some bones after them. It lands only about a couple feet away from Owen and starts to slide, but in the next shot when it cuts to a different angle, suddenly Owen and the others are several yards away from it at the stairs already.

Continuity mistake: When Mills is trying to load the Indominus Rex tooth into his SUV, the sliding side door is open. These doors operate on a catch and lock in place when open or shut until the handle is pulled or the button inside is pressed to automatically close it. As the dinosaurs are escaping, a pterodactyl picks up a soldier and drops it on the vehicle, then in the next shot Mills is panicking and starting to climb under the SUV. In this shot the door is closed. And the soldier being dropped on the hood of the car would not have caused it to close. (01:53:05)

Continuity mistake: On Isla Nublar when Claire is running her shirt can be seen without any shoulder sleeves, but for the rest of the film she suddenly has shoulder sleeves.

Suggested correction: Her shirt always has sleeves on. When she's running her slip slips slightly giving the appearance of no sleeves. Not a mistake.

Ssiscool

It is not a slip that slips, she is wearing a tank top. At 41:44 it's a tank top, but at 46:24 she is wearing a 3/4 sleeve shirt.

Continuity mistake: The Ford Explorer was laying out in the open where it was left after the events of Jurassic Park. But the huge tree that it fell out of was nowhere to be seen.

Plot hole: Being transported from the west of Costa Rica all the way to Northern California by ship would take about a week. Are we to assume that Owen, Claire and Franklin were staying put in the back of the truck the whole time undetected? They would have to eat and use the restroom, at least.

Suggested correction: Maybe they did have to sneak around but the director thought making us watch Owen sneaking away at night to take a whiz wasn't really important to the plot.

It was established in the plot's timeline that the ship travelled overnight. A ship like this travels at about 12 knots and would take for them about 9 days to complete that voyage.

More trivia for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Question: Would any company in their right mind build a theme park (or any business for that matter) on a private island with a volcano? I know populated areas like Hawaii just assume the risk, but wouldn't a company that has the money to purchase their own island do their due diligence and make sure they won't be prone to a major catastrophe like that?

Phaneron

Answer: As it was stated in the film, the volcano had been dormant for many many years. Presumably even since well before the events of the first Jurassic Park movie in the early 90's. It was only recently, between the events of this film and the prior Jurassic World that the volcano had its surprise re-awakening.

Quantom X

For sure, but dormant simply means that the volcano could one day erupt again, so wouldn't it be pretty foolish to gamble on building a multi-billion dollar theme park with the hope that the volcano will never again erupt?

Phaneron

One would think. But just look at our world's history. Like Pompeii, an entire civilization wiped out cause they lived at the base of a dormant volcano. And then even in more recent history. Mount Saint Helens, which I've actually been to and seen the exhibits and footage of it's destruction. Foolish, yeah. But that doesn't stop us from still doing it repeatedly.

Quantom X

I think it's been made pretty clear over the course of all the films that the people building these parks did not exactly think everything through properly. They took a gamble on the volcano, and they lost.

Answer: The volcano has nothing to do with reality. It is a plot device more than twenty years after the original movie. It is contrived for the purpose of telling a new story. Trying to give a logical or scientific explanation is pointless.
