Trivia
The effects crew used two hundred fifty gallons of oatmeal to simulate Spinosaur droppings.

Goofs
(at around 1h 2 mins) Although the depiction of the Pteranodon showcases several inaccuracies (such as having teeth, being able to grab things with their legs, and being excessively aggressive), which, being genetically engineered clones, can be explained, one detail still counts as an error. Namely, no matter how strong these creatures are, they could never lift up and carry a human boy the size of Eric. They would simply plummet towards the ground, since these animals needed to be extremely light-weight in order to stay aloft (a real-life Pteranodon would weigh less than preschool child). Thus the Pteranodon's anatomical inaccuracies notwithstanding, the sequence in question very nearly breaks the laws of physics.

Quotes
Amanda: This is how you make dinosaurs?
Dr. Grant: No. This is how you play God.

Crazy credits
During the studio introductions, each logo is accompanied by the "ripple-in-the-water" effect and the sound of a heavy footstep.

Alternate versions
Don Davis, the music composer for the film, stated that roughly 20 seconds of footage was cut from the battle between the T-Rex and Spinosaurus. This was mostly made up of the two animals roaring at each other and sizing one another up.

How Stupid Could You Be?

Leaving every basic survival instinct behind, Jurassic Park III becomes the first movie in the Jurassic Park trilogy to include a majority amount of characters with no common sense. Almost every key choice in this movie is done poorly or with very horrible writing, and the things that could make the ride a whole lot smoother are what coincidentally end up having a problem. But hey, at least there's dinosaurs eating people again, right? The dinosaurs don't even look the same. They're absolutely ridiculous. But it does include bigger, scarier ones, so that's a small bonus. There really isn't much to this movie, and it can't even be described as being so bad it's good. If Steven Speilberg wasn't directing, it shouldn't have been done.
