you guys are all missing the point. They purposefully kept the Asian scientist safe so that he could continue his research and it opens up for the sequel bringing this into a new direction, it's time forhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpuhLkh358Y

I was disappointed that the baddie dino on the rampage used its camouflage all of 1 time. Strangely enough, in The Lost World (JP pt2) book, this was the defining ability of the most lethal dinosaur. Sadly the film went in the direction of stupid instead of following the book.

She hid under the jeep/truck while dinos lurked outside... wasn't that brief scene straight out of the book? or was that in the 3rd movie from the 2nd book.. like the intro to the 2nd movie was the intro to the 1st book with the fam chilling on the island beach getting eaten by little dinos.

I remember the 3rd movie having things from The Lost World book, but it's been too long since I read it to remember specifics. I just remember reading that they had Crichton write the book so they could make the sequel and it baffled me as to why they needed that once I saw the movie since it was so completely different.

Yes, that was vaguely what happened in the prologue of the first book, little girl got mauled by escaped compys or something
*edit*
iirc she survives and draws a picture of it, and the guy who sees it thinks it's impossible because he somehow knows enough about lizards and dinosaurs to know that no three toed lizard has walked upright in millions of years, and they fax him the skeleton but he assumes it was a mistake or something? So there was a big chance to discover the dinosaurs were on the loose before the events at the park but it didn't happen.

Yeah, if I remember the book they really do not explain or explore much of why those little dinoes where out and about- I just assumed that they landed on a part of the island that was naturally "beyond" the containment zone- and that they didn't consider this little dino dangerous or aggressive - but yeah rich fam sets down on random beach, girl wonders off sees cool little animal and it attacks her. But its been years since I have read the book or seen JP 2,3 movies.

Lost World is the only of the books I ever read and it was a really long time ago. Read it up at my grandparents house when visiting, and I haven't done that since the mid 90's. The one thing that really baffled me with Lost World book vs movie was where the fuck did Dr. Levin go? He was a main character for the entire book and isn't even in the movie at all... I think? Been like 18 or 19 yrs since I read it.

Lost World movie only has cherry picked parts from the book. The dude at the beginning of JP1 with Newman, Dodgson, is from an Ingen rival company called Biosyn. After Ingen fails with the fall of Jurassic Park/Isla Nublar, Biosyn goes to raid Site B (same plot as in the movie, they just use Ingen again instead). The trailer over the cliff scene is almost identical to the book, except that its not Eddie Carr who dies, but another character who doesn't even show up in the movie. Damn shame too, the book was pretty good, and the movie just completely tossed a lot of it to the side so we could get Trex in San Diego, woo!
Lost World movie had a lot of scenes from Jurassic Park book that didn't make it into first movie. Film opened with a version the 1st book's opening. A version of Hammond's death in the first book was given to some sadist in the second movie. Scene where a T-Rex's tongue almost devours someone through waterfall was from JP book, but in LW movie.
