Jurassic Park Trivia Questions

False. No evidence exists that dilophosaurus had venom or a frill. The film exaggerated these traits for dramatic effect; real dilophosaurus was larger and lacked those features.

The amber was fake—made from plastic resin. Real amber is too brittle and expensive to use for multiple takes on a film set.

True. Real Velociraptors were about the size of turkeys. The filmmakers based their raptors on the larger Deinonychus but kept the name 'Velociraptor' for dramatic effect.

This is a myth popularized by the film. Real T-Rex likely had excellent vision, similar to modern birds of prey, and could easily spot stationary objects.

True. In the novel, Grant is a dinosaur expert with no particular dislike of kids. Spielberg added the child aversion to give him a character arc.

True. Crichton first wrote a screenplay about a dinosaur theme park, but it didn't sell. He then expanded it into the 1990 novel, which Spielberg adapted.
