    • Trivia
      In 1995, director Steven Spielberg met Vanessa Chester at the premiere of A Little Princess (1995), in which she appeared. Chester later recalled, "As I was signing an autograph for him, he told me one day he'd put me in a film." Spielberg met with Chester the following year to discuss this movie before ultimately casting her as Malcolm's daughter, Kelly.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 50 mins) After Ian and Sarah have the infant T-Rex in the back seat of the red convertible, as Ian turns into the gas station, in Ian's rear-view mirror you can see a brief reflection of Steven Spielberg with baseball cap directing the scene.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

    • Crazy credits
      David Koepp is listed as the "unlucky bastard" because he was eaten by the T-Rex. Koepp wrote the screenplay.
    • Alternate versions
      The Fox television network's version (aired on November 1st, 1998) includes two scenes not in the theatrical cut (see Trivia section). The first scene is an InGen meeting between Ludlow and InGen representatives, and takes place in between the opening Compy attack sequence and the Hammond scene. It contains exposition about what aftereffects the events of the first film had on InGen, and how Ludlow is taking over control of the company from Hammond. The second is in between the Hammond scene and the mission-prep scene with Eddie Carr. Set in Mombasa, it introduces Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu and makes it clear they have a long history working together. Both deleted scenes are included as special features on the DVD and Blu-ray, but are not integrated into the film.

    An underrated sequel

    I grew up watching the first two Jurassic Park movies and I was crazy about dinosaurs as a kid and I used to have lots and lots of dinosaur toys. The first Jurassic Park movie is a classic and is up there as one of Steven Spielberg's best who also one of my favourite directors.

    But what I can't understand is why a lot of people didn't like The Lost World - Jurassic Park. I mean sure it may not be as good as the first one and it has flaws and plot holes and some cheesy dialogue. But I mean even the first movie had flaws, plot holes and cheesy dialogue as well. But I think The Lost World deserves more credit because it has more characters, more action and more dinosaurs. And I also thought Jeff Goldblum did just as good a job as the main protagonist as Sam Neill did.

    I also can't believe that this movie was nominated for multiple Razzies including Worst Screenplay and Worst Sequel. I mean I can understand why bad movies like Con Air or Batman & Robin for nominated for Razzies but The Lost World just didn't because those movies were far worse.
