    Was watching this yesterday with my housemate and we noticed the sound alright, remember thinking it was a bit Benny Hill-esque!

    Hadn't seen the film im years, another thing I cringed at were some of Jeff Goldblums ridiculous poses throughout the film

    LOL OP

    Yeah I remembered that sound once I saw the clips again, but had put it down to one of the little dinosaur noises.

    I can't see how that noise would have any impact on the overall movie, however for the OP watching that movie so many times must feel like the following clip for that split second :p

    Aw man, it was in the cinemas again a couple of months ago. It still holds up extremely well, you should give it a spin.

    Fun thread. I can´t believe the funny slipping sound ruined it for some people; what's so terrible about it? :D Besides, like someone said before, I think it's supossed to be the cable.

    Nothing could really ruin Jurassic Park for me, but there were a few things I noticed that I did cringe a little bit about; Stegosaurus spelled "Stegasaurus" in the embryo containers, for example, or the fact that Triceratops (my favorite dino when I was around five and I saw the movie) was sick and barely even moved. (TLW kind of compensated for it by having the Trike destroy Ludlow's camp and throw a car in the air, although, they didn´t have to burn its belly XD)

    The Lost World, however, (SPOILERS AHEAD) has plenty of things that I can imagine would ruin it for some fans... for example, Sarah Harding is supossed to be an expert wildlife zoologist, yet she endangers everyone around her wearing a jacket that's covered on a baby T-Rex's blood, even despite the fact that SHE was the one who kept reminding everyone that they were not supossed to be noticed by the animals, and even worst, even after she said T-Rex had the keenest sense of smell of any known dino (except for the turkey vulture).
    Even worst; Roland, who is supossed to be a first class big game hunter, realizes that Sarah is wearing a bloody jacket, and instead of saying something like "YOU IDIOT, TAKE THAT OFF IMMEDIATLY BEFORE YOU GET US ALL KILLED!", he simply nods and walks away!
    I mean what is wrong with these people? :D In fact, Ian Malcolm seems to be the only intelligent person in the entire movie, which barely matters anyways because no one will listen to him.

    And then there was that scene when Kelly kicked that raptor and the poor thing gets impaled in a rusty spike-nail-thing or whatever. I hated Kelly because of it, and I would always look away during that scene (I was nine, ok?). It didn´t ruin the movie for me, though; the T-Rex rampage in San Diego made up for it (as did the pterosaur at the end; best ending shot ever).
