Starting point is 00:00:54 Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Caravan of Garbage where we're rounding out the Jurassic Park trilogy. Wouldn't you say, Mason? Yes. We're on Jurassic Park 3. they didn't change the title. They didn't The Lost World or anything like that. It's just like it's the third one. You say they didn't change the title, but they put three big slashes through it, didn't
Starting point is 00:01:14 they? Letting you know this ain't your grandpappy's Jurassic Park film. That's certainly true. Nor is it Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park film. But let me go. We'll get to that, I'm sure. First of all, James. People should leave a like. Yeah, first, James. People should leave a like.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Yeah, first of all, people should leave a like. But also, I've got a well, well, well sort of like on a hair trigger. Okay, okay. So I've got to get it out. Well, well, well, James. Okay. Here we are at the end of this. Mr. High and Mighty over there being like,
Starting point is 00:01:37 oh, you think all the Jurassic Park movies are about the same? Well, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you watch the ones you haven't actually seen. You haven't seen Jurassic Park. I like one. Do I sound like that? Yeah, this is a recording of you. Yeah, you haven't seen Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And I said, all right, well, I'll watch these ones. And I'm like, oh, Jurassic Park 2, it's not as good as the first one, but whatever. It's, you know, a bit of fun or whatever. And so I'm like, well, three must be the one where everything turns around. This is the one where I'm going to have to eat a bit of crow because whatever and then so i'm like well three must be the one where everything turns around this is the one where i'm gonna have to eat a bit of crow because this it's bad it's a bad movie this one you tricked me i think is that what you did or did you genuinely did you genuinely think this is this is a good movie i think it's a bit of fun right i guess i'm technically wrong because i said they're all roughly the same quality and they're not but two of them have been bad but i had to watch him for this. That's what I'm
Starting point is 00:02:26 saying, the first one's easily the best. What's interesting about this one is, I love how the first bit of it is just a speed run of the first movie. It's just like, hey Alan Grain, you want to come to the Jurassic Park island? No. What if you did though? Okay, I will. Hey look, we're looking over the island and there's all the
Starting point is 00:02:42 wonders of dinosaurs. Yeah, they sure are. Hey, let's land. Oh, this is a bloody, I hope nothing dangerous happens. Oh, everything's happening very dangerously all the time. Let's run around. Bing bang. 20 minutes is the whole first movie. You're right.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Well, yeah, coming in at an hour and 30 minutes, this is by far the shortest Jurassic experience you can have. And let me say, it's by far the greater for it. Just kidding, it's bad. No, I think it is greater for being tighter. Do you want more of this? No, I don't want more of this. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:03:15 They should have called this Jurassic Park, no guff. Let's just get to it. Yeah, all right. But I think that's where it's lacking also. Jurassic Park, lean and mean. Yeah. Well, do you want me to talk a bit about the development behind this to help you understand why you like this movie so much? Is that what you've been saying? Yes, that's what I'm saying. Well, also you want me to talk a bit about the development behind this to help you understand why you like this movie so much? Is that what you've been saying?
Starting point is 00:03:26 Yes, that's what I'm saying. Well, also interesting, I didn't look it up. I love how white-eyed you've come into this. Yeah, right? You wasted an hour and a half of my life. It's interesting because I know Spielberg didn't direct this one, and the instant it started, I'm like, I don't think the Spielberg care and attention has not been lavished upon
Starting point is 00:03:46 this. But then I looked it up and it's Joe Johnston, who directed among other things Captain America The First Avenger, which I love, The Rocketeer which I loved when it came out in 1991 Maybe you still do. Maybe I still do. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids he directed Incredible movie. Jumanji I think he directed etc
Starting point is 00:04:01 but I don't know if his heart was in this or something. I bet I'm about to learn. You're about to learn right now. So Michael Crichton, he actually worked with the screenwriters several days to brainstorm about... Oh, several days? Yeah, to brainstorm a story. But then left when he could not come up
Starting point is 00:04:18 with a satisfactory idea. Oh no! So that's a great start. Steven Spielberg initially devised a story which involved Dr. Alan Grant living on one of InGen's islands to study dinosaurs. Oh, a Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be. That's exactly right. That's exactly what they were going for.
Starting point is 00:04:34 However, Joe Johnston rejected that idea because he couldn't have... Because it would have been Sam Neill in a loincloth. And that's too sexy. I agree. No, because Dr. Grant wouldn't return to any island just by choice. Yeah, makes sense. You'd have to drag him there, knock him out. The second script involved the pterodons.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Pterodons? The birds. Pterodons, yes. Escaping from Isla Sauna. Please, excaping. Excaping from Isla Sauna. Isla Sauna. Isla Sauna.
Starting point is 00:05:02 What we're doing here is we're trying to pack the maximum number of mispronunciations into the one sentence. I think we're doing it. Because we believe if we do it now, there won't be any for the rest of the video or our lives. Causing a string of mysterious killings on the mainland, which would have been investigated by Dr. Alan Grant and other characters. Dino detective. That's right. The project was, wasn't that a movie? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Inspector Rex. Oh my God. That's what that show is about. No, no, there is that Detective Dinosaur show. Maybe. Or movie. Detective Pikachu? Is it Whoopi Goldberg in one?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh, yeah. Okay. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The project was greenlit, and five weeks before shooting began, the entire script was rejected by Steven Spielberg and Joe Johnston. Still got five weeks. That's right, except plenty of time.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Johnston felt the story was too complicated, and by that time, though, $18 million was already spent on the project. Joe Johnston, of course, he wanted to direct part two, and Spielberg said, I'll let you direct part three. I'll take this one. Don't you even worry about it. Once all the goodwill has been exhausted from the first two, you're going to have the third one.
Starting point is 00:06:01 That's the thing that I know. What's that? The T-Rex loose in the city in the second one yeah here's a fact that i think i remember he was going to put it in three yes but then he's like i'm not going to waste i'm not going to do another one probably so i'll put it in two so he took the last good idea yes we talked about this in the previous video i told you that probably how i know uh so shooting began before the final script was completed. Johnson thought about quitting the projects on a few occasions because of his uncertainty about how the film would turn out.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Considering that it did not have a finished script, he said that the making of the film was a living hell on a daily basis. Whoa. I don't think it's that bad. I think there's some good dinosaur action. Sure, okay. But markedly worse looking dinosaurs, I think. I don't think it's the problem with the animatronics.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I think some of the best that they've ever done, Stan Winston is back. But I think the vast majority... Like the way it's shot, the way it's lit, it looks like a big puppet sometimes. It does look like a big puppet, but there are also some scenes, especially that opening sequence where they're flying the,
Starting point is 00:07:04 I want to say plane. Plane. Yeah, it is a plane, over the herd of dinosaurs. They look very cut and paste. They look very Control-C, Control-V, and they just went, we've got a, what, a patasaurus? I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:17 One of the big ones. One of the big non-threatening ones. Just copy it out. Like they didn't look like individual dinosaurs at any point. They looked like production line. And that's not good, is it? No, they didn't look like individual dinosaurs at any point. They looked like production line. And that's not good, is it? No, it didn't thrill me. But look, speaking of production lines,
Starting point is 00:07:31 did you enjoy the rapid prototyper? A 3D printer, yes. A 3D printer. I'm like, is that what they were called at one point? Maybe. Rapid prototyper? But I also liked a couple of things. Alan Grant and Ali Sattler have split.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Good, fine. They're very ambiguous relationship in the first. Initially, I saw them together with the kids. And I'm like, oh, my God, their ambiguous relationship from the first movie has blossomed into marriage and children. And then I'm like, oh, no, their ambiguous relationship from the first movie is broken up. She's married to someone else. Yeah, who knows the army. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I thought he was going to get some sort of comeuppance. Why? Because he's the weak other guy. Oh, yeah, yeah. I thought he was going to get some sort of comeuppance. Why? Because he's the weak other guy, you know? Oh, yeah, that's true. In, like, romantic comedies. Some shameless nerd. Yeah, exactly. He probably has a dinosaur allergy, you know?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, you're right, yeah. But he was going to end up on the island somehow and be torn to pieces, but he wasn't. Yeah, that's a shame. But I also like the character of Alan Grant. He doesn't believe these dinosaurs to be real dinosaurs. They're just all, like, hybrid monsters to him. like the character of Alan Grant, he doesn't believe these dinosaurs to be real dinosaurs. They're just all like hybrid monsters to him. And his exact quote is, no force on heaven or earth could get me on that island, except, you know, a bunch of money, I guess. Now also,
Starting point is 00:08:35 there's also scenes in this movie which were cut from previous movies. Oh, like ideas from the previous, but they didn't end up using in the theatrical cut. So they're like, let's film them again. Not direct swipes. No. So the pterodon scene, that was from another movie, a previous movie. The boat sequence was, I think that was from...
Starting point is 00:08:56 The ride, Jurassic Park. It was from the ride. That's exactly right. Dream World, Hollywood on the Gold Coast. And you know, at the end, how the dinosaurs are flying away and everyone's like, great, we love this. That's a nightmare. You should stop that. That's a bad thing. Also, that's the know, at the end, how the dinosaurs are flying away and everyone's like, great, we love this. That's a nightmare. You should stop that.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That's a bad thing. Also, that's the best shot in the movie, I think. Yeah, it's good. Visual effects wise, that's the best shot, I think. But I think, so apparently the pelicans in the first Jurassic Park movie were supposed to be dinosaurs. Which type? Stegosauruses, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:21 They're just furiously flying away from the island. Yeah, yeah. But they already had the 3D model from the movie The Pelican Brief. And they're like, again, copy and paste. Copy and paste. That's what movies are back in the day, you know what I mean? Speaking of copy and paste, another lucky bag? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I mean, that's lucky though, isn't it? To have a movie with a second lucky bag? Is that how lucky bags work in movies? Because remember Sarah Harding had a lucky bag? Now this dude's got a lucky bag. What a bunch of bullshit. Couldn't have thought of another thing? Maybe have a skillful bag.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Yeah. Full of skills and guns and stuff. What are the carabiners? Have a lucky carabiner. Sure. Now we've got to talk about one of the most infamous moments in this movie. Okay, go on. Can you guess what it is?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Is it the fact that William H. Macy and tay leone's characters are like pretending to be different people and then another guy is revealed to be like that guy there's another guy he pretends he's under but he's just an actor or whatever uh well there's that i think it would have been funny if everybody in that island like it was just a constant string of people revealing they lying about it's just like i don't i'm not i actually never got a degree i'll be honest with you. I was two credits short. Nobody's ever asked to see my paperwork. The kid's like, I'm not a kid.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I'm a very short adult. Now what is the iconic scene, James? It's the bit where Alan Grant is having a little dream and the raptor goes, Alan. Oh, the dinosaur on the plane. Yeah. That was weird. I'm going to, the dinosaur on the plane. Yeah. That was weird. I'm going to justify this for you right now.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Okay. Okay, so earlier in the movie, I read this somewhere. They had the puppets? I would have loved to be on this. I would have loved to be on set just for that scene though. So earlier in the movie, he's trying to get a bird to talk. The dinosaur puppeteers are like, okay, where are we putting this puppet? We're putting it in the foliage?
Starting point is 00:11:02 Oh, we're putting it on a plane. In the seat? Wow. Strap it in. I am an artist, sir. Oh, a lot. So earlier in the movie, he's trying to get Ali's bird to talk. He's like, say Alan or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:13 So I think by bizarre dream logic, there is some justification for that. Interesting. Anyways, this also starts a new trend in Jurassic movies, in Jurassic experiences, and that is a new dinosaur. Oh, yes. A new big villain. Every movie since then has been like, this one's scary too. We ran out of real dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:11:33 This one's got a chainsaw on its head. It's not running, but. Yeah. I think, though, as a CG. It turns out you can't put an internal combustion engine in a dinosaur. You can't? Nope. Then what are we even doing here?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Shut it down. Shut it all down. Get through the fence. How do you get through that busted thing? All these people have bought tickets thinking that this dinosaur is going to have a running chainsaw in its head. I think, though, as a CGI model, it looks really good. This is the Spinosaurus.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yeah, I think. And obviously, when it's puppeteered in proper lighting, like the moment where it's in the water that's all great stuff i'm a big fan of all of that i think i think it's an interesting choice because it's meaner than a t-rex and it's probably a hybrid because the real spinosaurus was more kind of crocodilian and walked on all fours and spent a lot of time in the water so they probably mixed it with a T-Rex to be like, what's a spooky thing we can make? Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, this horrible nightmare.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And there's a couple of theories that I read up on as to why it's chasing them. Okay. Number one, it's returning the phone. That's not a real one. Number two, it was injured by the plane at the start of the movie and is going after revenge. Or theory number three.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Alan Grano's at money.

Starting point is 00:13:40 That's sunrisechallenge.ca. Give me my money, Grant! Grant! Get back here! That the one that got hit by the plane died and this is its mate. Right. Good mate. They were good mates.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I was going to say, not relationship mate, just mate down the pub. Yeah. So then, of course, we get the fame. My mate owes me money. Now you owe me money, mate. But I think the T-Rex versus Spinosaurus sequence is pretty cool, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah, it's pretty cool. No, you don't think so? Pretty good. It wins because it's got hands. Maybe I'm all. It's got big hands. Yeah, it does have big hands. Maybe I'm all dinosaured out.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I don't know. It's interesting that a few of these dinosaurs, like this one on the raptor, have just learned to break necks. Do the raptors see that and go, oh, that's interesting. They just stop moving if you do that. Yeah, I'm going to do that. So there's also theories about which version of the T-Rex that is. Is it one from the previous movies?
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's probably not because it's colored differently, and it's probably not the infant because it's also, again, colored differently. So it's just another one for anybody super interested. Yeah, I think perhaps by the third one of these, they weren't super concerned with the continuity necessarily. Which is why they don't really talk about this movie, even though it is in continuity, I think.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I also like that Alan Grant has never been to this island. The Kirby family, awful, by the way. They just think he has because he wrote a book. They didn't read the book. No. He's the dinosaur man. We saw him on oprah maybe insane but i i like that how he's just like you pack of fucking dummies you brought i can't believe you brought me here it's also really bold that they went with those you know two of those main characters are some of
Starting point is 00:15:21 the most irritating people you can put in a movie. Everybody's constantly screaming just out into the island and at each other. It's awful. And at the end they should have gone... Oh, that was part of the speedrunner. Just don't attract the animal's attention. Taya Leone, great scream though. I agree.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I love those guys. I mean, they're doing a great job of being irritating characters. I love them as the shoveler and whatever Taya Leone's character was called in the sitcom The Naked Truth, respectively. Absolutely. What about the moment where they find the kid? Alan Grant finds the kid. In his little bunker. He goes, you're great.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I love kids now, I think. My relationship didn't work out. I don't want to get into it. But where'd you get the T-Rex pee? And the kid's like, you don't want to know. That's it. Was that where the extra 30 minutes? The T-Rex is urethra. How do you get that close, Mason? Don't you think there's like 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:16:09 they could have put back into this movie to make it the length of a regular Jurassic movie? By adding in the Tyrannosaurus Rex pee hunt. Yes. Maybe. It's probably one of the video games. Right. A lot of people have said we should play that Telltale game,
Starting point is 00:16:23 the Jurassic Park one. And then a lot of other people said it's not very good. So, you know. Who do we believe? Who do we believe? The people that want us to do some more work or the people who don't want us to do more work? Good point.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Let's not do it. Let's not do it. Let's treat ourselves to not doing it. Anyways, the raptors are back and some of them have feathers. They've been reinterpreted. Maybe they're a different subspecies. I don't know. It doesn't really matter.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I think their interactions are interesting maybe they just you know fell into a big container of molasses and then ate a bunch of chickens do you think yeah i think that's probably what i mean it's it's entirely possible yeah but i think it's uh the hunt across the island how they're after the eggs and that's good and whatever. But they use that dude as a trap at one point. I think that's fun. You know, I don't think they've ever really fumbled the raptors too bad in the movies. I mean, look, I'm not a huge Blue fan. You know, a lot of the time they're like, do you love the dinosaur Blue?
Starting point is 00:17:17 Not really. Oh, what's going to happen to Blue? I don't give a fuck. I don't like this horrible monster. Why don't you just put it under a steam roll i don't give a shit maybe i'll love it in the new movie i haven't seen it time of recording maybe it'll maybe it'll learn to talk it'll personally ask you to be nice to it and then maybe you'll change your way i don't like it what if it did though what if it was just like james
Starting point is 00:17:37 why are you so mean you like me that aren't you i don't like you oh i wish you blew up when that island exploded well i'm gonna massacre everybody in this office building i don't give you oh i wish you blew up when that island exploded well i'm gonna massacre everybody in this office building i don't give a shit i don't know any of them you've called my bluff i'm still gonna do it you've earned my respect uh tyrannodons though another bit that i like okay alan grant realizes they're in a cage he's like oh shit i love all that tell you what what i did like the moment where one of them falls into the water and they're all in the water and it's just flapping maniacally.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah. That's a genuinely terrifying bit. I wouldn't want to be in that water. The bit where it steps out of the fog. It's like, boo, hello. I'm terrifying. What do you think? I like the bit where they peck Billy to death.
Starting point is 00:18:17 And by that, I mean, they peck him onto that helicopter. I like the bit where Billy pulled his parachute and just floated around the island for several minutes. Just in the cage. Just waving like the bit where Billy pulled his parachute and just floated around the island for several minutes. In the cage. Just waving like the queen. Yeah, he was. And you mentioned this up top, and I think it's worth coming back to.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Something they really forgot to put in this movie is the wonder. And I know they had that bit at the start where they're like, yeah, Alan Grant's like, wow, I remember the dinosaurs. But it feels like, you know, the bit where they get on the boat, the movie's very quickly like, yeah, here's your like, wow, I remember dinosaurs. But it feels like, you know, the bit where they get on the boat. The movie's very quickly like, yeah, here's your fucking wonder. Here's your dinosaurs. Here's your theme. All right, can we get to the next thing? Here's you staring at some poop.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You're all looking at the poop. You've all got your individual pile of poop to dig through. That's what you people like, isn't it? People looking through poop. And then they have a fight on the boat with the Spinosaurus, and then they light it on fire, and then they give the eggs back the boat with the Spinosaurus and then they light it on fire and then they give the eggs back and then the army is there. But the Kirbys should go to jail, right?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like a horrible international prison. Yeah, I mean, if Grant's friend Billy didn't survive, like he just magically survives at the end, Alan Grant should have drowned both of those two in a shallow puddle, I reckon. Yep. Because Quiley should have been like, hey, come over here. Come here, I've got something for you.
Starting point is 00:19:30 You know? Yep. A bit of a good old-fashioned revenge drowning. Your kid's mine now. I don't even like kids. I'm going to raise him wrong. Yeah, they should go to jail, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:39 They got a lot of people killed. Yeah. Horrible people. But realistically, they probably just paid a small fine and went back to running a hardware store. Yeah, I wonder if... Her ex-husband is dead and they're back together. I don't know. It's certainly possible there aren't any laws on Isla Sauna.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You know what I mean? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. You can do anything you want to those dinosaurs. Now, Mason, before we get to green trivia, your favourite segment, one person has actually come to the defence of this movie. Is it Spielberg?
Starting point is 00:20:04 No, it's one Samuel Neill. Oh, sure, Mr Samuel Neill. Australia's own. He says that's right, he's ours. You can have... I don't know. We can New Zealand have. Who can we throw under the bus? We can have Russell Crowe.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Russell Crowe's back in the good books. He's also not ours. Yeah, but we claimed him. And then he threw that phone. And then we said New Zealand can have him back. And then he's back in the good books, I think. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So you can't have him, New Zealand. All right. We're just going to keep them all. Yeah, we'll keep all the good ones. And we want a crowded house. That's ours too. He said that this film has got unfair treatment and it's pretty damn good.
Starting point is 00:20:42 And I would say as like a roller coaster of a movie, I don't think it's that bad, really. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how to feel about this because I was right in thinking that, I was right in thinking that you wouldn't think that all these movies are of equal quality. You were, that is correct, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I've sure eaten my words, haven't I? I don't particularly feel good about it, though. You shouldn't. You shouldn't. I feel like I'm Alan Grant and you're that family who's dragged me to the islands. And I think you should go to jail. I don't want that. But I've got some great trivia.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I'd love great trivia. Here we go. Great. So according to the Dino Protection Group website, InGen scientists travelled back to isola sauna in 1999 and illegally cloned four new species this include this included the ankylosaurus the corythorothorus the centaurosaurus and the spinosaurus right uh all of those i pronounced correctly um if i didn't, I don't care, shut up. If a real Tyrannosaurus Rex got the first
