Jurassic Park mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the group stops to watch the Brachiosaurus, its CGI head clips through the branches of the tree, and the body becomes transparent. A close-up is provided, though it's not necessary at all when watching it on screen.

Suggested correction: There is no clipping. When his head is turned, its head is in front of the branches, and when he starts looking forward and goes on his hind legs, its head is behind the branches.

There's a photograph to prove it where a branch superimposes the dinosaur's head.

I don't see any superimposing. Its head is in front of the branch. It's even clearer in the moving scene, no superimposing to spot. Is this screenshot from the VHS version? Because if it's not visible there, it won't be in any other version either.

lionhead

It's hard to tell from the screenshots, but it does look superimposed on the second one. However, if you watch the scene, it does look like Lionhead says that the branch is in front of the dinosaur. Skip to 1:24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uaNYpe5LJ0.

Just to be clear, I say the head is in front of the branch, not the other way around. Only when it starts looking to the front do its head and neck move behind the branch. But in the screenshot, the head is in front of the branch. Side note: If someone wants to follow the link, remove the period at the end; it's added automatically but not part of the link.

Continuity mistake: When Tim and Lex first arrive, Lex is wearing a purple tank top with a colorful design, and in the following scenes or even between consecutive shots her tank top changes to completely different designs, though it's the same style of tank top.

John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
Ian Malcolm: But, John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

Trivia: To make the water in the glass on the dashboard 'jump', they strung a guitar string from the underside of the dashboard to a bolt on the floor and then plucked the string.

Question: Where do the staff and crew of Jurassic Park go after the dinosaurs escape? I mean you see a staff member tending to the triceratops, there were many scientists in the dinosaur lab, and would assume that there would be many more people on the island but they are nowhere to be seen after the dinosaurs escape.

Chosen answer: They all left on the same boat Nedry was trying to get on with the embryos. You can hear Samuel L Jackson's character announce that the boat will be leaving at a specific time and everyone had to be there or be left behind.
