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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
Pterodons?
The birds.
Pterodons, yes.
Escaping from Isla Sauna.
Please, excaping.
Excaping from Isla Sauna.
Isla Sauna.
Isla Sauna.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Alan Grano's at money.

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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
bite in, in that battle, which
it did, it would have applied a force
of 3.5 to
23.5 metric tons,
which means it just would have bit its head clean off.
Interesting. Bam. But then
that's not much of a movie, is it?
Maybe the rest of the movie is just like,
did you see that?
Did you see that?
His head camera, right off.
You can see down his bloody neck hole.
You know that?
When asked.
You don't bloody see that every day, do you?
You never see that.
He's got his own neck hole.
When asked why he accepted the role of Paul Kirby,
William H. Macy replied, because I'm 50 years old and I get to fight dinosaurs.
An earlier draft of the script involved a group of teenagers
marooned on the island,
which is similar to the animated series, of course.
John Hammond is said to have died
shortly after the events of The Lost World.
It's mentioned in Camp Cretaceous, that animated series,
that he died of natural causes.
But actually, Tyrannosaurus bit his head off.
You could see down his neck hole.
You could see down an Attenborough's bloody neck hole too.
You can see that every day, don't you?
Richard Attenborough, of course, actually
died in 2014 at age 90
of natural causes. So there
you go. As far as we know. As far as we know.
That's right. Could have been the dinosaur thing. Yeah.
Also, did you know the original
working title for Star Wars, original Star Wars
was actually Blue Harvest? My goodness.
Keep it a little secret there.
Well, that's just some Spielberg continuity.
That's right.
He directed this movie and also the first Star Wars.
A lot of people don't know that.
That's very true, yeah.
All right.
Now, the budget of this movie.
Let me just look that up because I haven't put it in.
I just typed in budget into my computer.
Terrific.
Great stuff, James.
Really good.
You fucking idiot.
Just looking at your family budget.
Wow, they spent $20 on eggs for this movie.
Good eggs, though.
Great eggs.
Budget of $93 million.
A lot of that was because there was a bunch of faffing about,
as mentioned.
And it made $368.8 million.
Significantly less than the previous two previous two easily the lowest in the franchise uh there was a bit of jurassic fatigue at this point it seems this is
the only one i haven't seen at cinemas i remember when it came out i was like nah this will be good
to watch in 22 years time that's right exactly, exactly. So there you go.
If you do have any thoughts on this series in general,
what are the high points, what are the low points,
please let us know.
And of course, we have a podcast called The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.
We've just done an episode on the latest movie, haven't we?
We sure have.
And what did we think of it?
I don't know yet.
I don't know yet.
You have to listen to it.
I reckon probably on par with all the other ones,
if I had to guess.
Oh, no.
He's back.
I'll never be swayed.
Not by evidence.
Not by anything.
Not by reason?
Nope.
What about money?
Yeah, definitely.
Okay, cool.
That podcast actually comes out a day early on Sunday as opposed to Monday
if you head over to bigsandwich.co where we've also got a bunch of movie commentaries

Thank you so much to Ben and Lawrence for the edit.
They're crushing it every week.
How are they doing it?
Like a big dinosaur.
Would crush a slightly smaller dinosaur?
Yes.
Great stuff.
Anyway, tell me all the trivia I missed.
Oh, and maybe, you know, how about this?
