Stupidity: During the auction, we see the dinosaurs are brought into the room and placed in the middle. Thus blocking half of the bidders from the auctioneer's view. (01:16:40)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
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.
That would make sense if the indoraptor wasn't portrayed as being hilariously inept at killing small, unarmed children.
That's a completely different topic regarding plot convenience. We saw the I-Rex kill 8 people and even more dinosaurs.
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.
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.
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).

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.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
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.
But surely, if they are prepared to lock the gates at the manor, why not have locks on the cages?
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.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: In Jurassic World, Jimmy Fallon explains in the gyrosphere ride that the glass cannot be penetrated by bullets. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Owen easily shoots through the gyrosphere glass twice.
Correction: He doesn't shoot through it. He shoots into it, fracturing it, and the bullets ricochet back into him.
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.
The bullets don't ricochet. The reason he dropped the gun is because a piece of molten lava hits his arm (which is a mistake in itself as the lava would've been cooled by the water).
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.
