Seriously, watching it now and Newman’s only paid 1.5 million dollars for what he’s doing. That is chump change for that job, and given his occupation he should be smarter than this. That’s like at least a 30 million dollar job on what they were requesting from this fat frick.

So assuming things went according to plan for Newman (they didn’t), he shuts down the security system, steals all their shite, and then makes it on the boat. The stupid mother fricker leaves his fricking face on the computer screen right after he flees. How stupid is he? Surely the insurance company is going to come back to the Island and investigate the claims when everyone on the Island is killed. While it’s still obvious he did it, that is like Marv jamming the sinks and flooding the houses. Really Hammond, this is the best guy you could have gotten for not sparing any expense?

And what if a few people make it off the Island? What fricking kind of liability is Newman looking at? 15 people dead and only 6 people survive. He’s looking at consecutive life sentences for that. And left a calling card? What a fricking idiot Newman is.

And for that matter, how fricking stupid is Dogsden and Biosyn? You think that fat frick that leaves a calling card isn’t going to rat you out for a reduced sentence? What was the plan? Were they planning on snuffing Newman out Goodfellas style the moment he went out and bought a Lamborghini? I think people would notice after like 2 years when you start making your own Jurassic Park and somehow the fat coward doesn’t eat you out.

I love these movies, but yeah, that subplot made no sense. Feel free to overanalyze other parts of the movie and the others in the franchise. I’ll rename the thread to just the later if it takes off.

Edited: Time to overanalyze Jurassic Park. Only edited Newman’s name into the first sentence to understand what I’m talking. Other than that, I will not edit for misremembering the film.

He wasn’t trying to get on the boat. He was trying to race off to the dock to hand off the embryos to his co-conspirator on the dock.

He planned to make it back to the command center on time to turn everything back on with hopefully no one noticing he was gone.

Finding out they didn’t use real dinosaurs was one of the most devastating moments of my life.

Regardless he left a calling card. He was caught on film doing his shite as well. There’s no way he was getting away with it.

I’m not sure that was a “calling card.” It was just a personalized warning message to potential hackers to not frick around with his computer.

Like if you set your password sign in on your computer to say “Uh, uh, uh, no no no” with a a wagging finger animation if someone tried to sign in with 5 failed attempts.

Nedry was gonna get got the second he handed over the container. Biosyn didn't play around. Hell, Dodson unknowingly infected farmers with rabies. He'd have no problem killing Nedry. Nedry would probably have a dead man's switch somewhere, but I'm sure Biosyn goons could get it out of Nedry before they killed him.

Yeah they were just trying to turn the gates back on and had to do it from his computer so we’re trying to login.

They didn’t suspect him of anything at that point.

Yeah I just wrapped up Newman’s 10 hour breakfast buffet where he meets Dogsden and thought “This mother fricker is only getting paid 1.5 million dollars for this? How fricking stupid is he and how fricking stupid is Dogsden for doing this? Time for another Overanalyze thread since Jurassic Park and it’s sequels give you plenty of material.”

I genuinely love the movie, and this following scene in particular, but it just makes no sense.



At this moment, there is a T-Rex standing right behind this raptor, and neither of the two raptors nor any of the four humans in this scene have noticed it.

He wasn't trying to leave. He was trying to drop the embryos off, would then return to his desk, and then would unlock the security system. He didn't plan for the storm. That forced the boat to leave early and caused his drive to take longer than he timed out. He also wasn't expecting the tour to take as long as it did b/c he was assuming it everyone would stay in the Explorers the entire time.

Had everything gone to plan he would have been back before anyone knew the fences were down and everyone on the tour would have already been back at the hotel eating dinner.

His major mistake was not having a contingency plan in case anything went wrong. Once the storm hit he should have bailed and tried to set up another exchange.

The other mistake he made in the entire process was the fact that he didn't wear gloves when he broke into the area with the embryos. Unless he was planning on going back to wipe those prints he would have been nailed in the end.

This is what I’m looking for in this thread. You’re damn right.

The explorer falling off the edge scene was always retarded to me but I someone actually came up with an explanation for it.

What was the plan for how many people could visit the park at a time? There are no obvious large hotels/lodging and the “ride” with Mr DNA and background scenes appeared to only fit ~20 people.

Coupon day would’ve been pointless

To be fair, it was just starting up. At the beginning I think it would have only been for the mega-rich, but it would have eventually turned into Jurassic World as we saw.

Before anyone asks, the T-Rex got into the Visitors Center through the unfinished wall (blue arrow). 4:3 VHS releases always crop out the wide shot, so a lot of people who have never seen the widescreen format of Jurassic Park think that this is a continuity error.

In the book the island was much more built out. All the aviary areas from JP 3 were in the book. I assume that the part of what we saw was going to be the initial section of the hotel that would have eventually been built out further to accommodate more guests. Remember, the lawyer Gennaro was there to sign off on the proof of concept. They wouldn't have a reason to fully build the hotel just yet.

OML nails it here.

Good point.

PETA would’ve been all over their asses for keeping three 400 lb raptors in a pen that tiny. Also they must’ve spent a fortune on cattle lifting harnesses.

Fair, but that still doesn’t justify its ninja like abilities to sneak up on them.
