Watching it again. A great movie in general.

I remember one of my friends at the end saying “damn how did they train those dinosaurs”. (we had had a few brews by then)

Especially how they got the one to sneeze all over them.

I consider all the Jurassics to be "check your mind at the door" movies. Not quite idiot plots, but quite a few idiocies involved. In the first one, for two examples, why are the system's circuit breakers so far from the operations building, and how can Wayne Knight's character grab vials at liquid nitrogen temperature with his bare hands? And after the first fiasco (movies 2 through whatever), what bank would loan anyone money to reopen it, and what insurance company would cover it?

My biggest "fingernail meets chalkboard" moment occurs early in the very first one, where B.D. Wong's scientist character is first shown writing down his presumably professional scientific data. In pencil. Then ERASING and replacing them. As a former FDA-regulated quality assurance manager, I cringe every time I see this. Literally in the first training you get in the industry, you're told to write down data in ink and taught the specific method for correcting an entry. IMO the logic goes downhill from there.
