Jurassic Park - 1993 - Opening Scene "Shoot her!" HD

Don’t shoot Blue raptor

Is this based on billy and the cloneasaurus?

that got to be the ''most 90s cinema scene'' ever made

I can't believe this movie is 30 years old. 😭

Hard to suspend disbelief here. The operation is elaborate and expensive but still full of easily avoided risk.

not showing the raptor die from getting shot was another stroke of genius. It's off screen, only implied. It really helps retain the mystique of these dinosaurs: they're almost immortal, unkillable, a force of nature.

My favorite movie of all time.

My god John Hammond is cheap, he couldn't pay for a remote operated cell door, or somekind of buffert behind the cell to keep it in place when unloading the raptor, somekind of hydraulic piston to push the cell towards the holding pen or just simply remove the rail system all together and just place the cell on a flatbed truck and have it reverse towards the holding pen?

What an amazing introduction. I also realised the forklift rustling the trees is a bait and switch. You might think it's a big dinosaur at first, especially with how the other characters are shot, but it's actually just a forklift (albeit one carrying a dangerous dinosaur in a cage).

If anyone is intetested, Muldoon is based on the real life African game warden Peter Capstick Hathaway. Hes written a couple of books describing his time as a big game hunter and warden in Africa. His first book Death in the Long Grass has a chapter for each animal, which gives incredibly gruesone details about how theyve killed people. Well worth the read!

Always wondered on some level if the raptor was terrified itself?

RIP Park Workers

They just don't make movies like they used to

He saw in her eyes and knew that she was going to be dangerous in the coming time .

Just remember, that's the monster that got domesticated by a child in the new trilogy 😊

Telekinesis

What kinda of hentai do you watch?

Futa! Fuuuutaaaaa! 😏

😒

When I first heard the jungle sounds at the age of 6, I have a shiver on my entire spine. Like if all this years of evolution in my dna tells me "run kid, just run for your life" incredible feeling !!!

As a kid, Jurassic Park was a horror film to me lol. As an adult it still gives me chills 😆

Is the raptor pen set still in Hawaii? I'm pretty sure they built the set on location. I would love to visit.

Question does anybody notice that every Park employee has an M16 A2 and nobody uses them

Yigh.

When I was little I always thought he was saying shoe time

One of the most iconic scenes in cinema history. I remember seeing this opening weekend when i was 11 and it was like all of a sudden the world changed.. horror would never be the same and if only they kept the series scary like this the franchise may not have ended up being a thrown together shit show

The bird calls over the Universal titles, are from Tinamou birds. I've been trying to identify these sounds for years.

I love how this can easily be tied into the novels opening aswell

I had seen this scene in the theatre as a kid and damn, I had nightmares for weeks!

I was just an eight-year-old boy going to the movies in 1993 with my parents I jumped out of my seat when the opening credits music begin that's how intense this was and it's seared into my conscience forever

Barely see a thing. Sound, camera work, suspense, a glimpse of an eye - still highly rewatchable and terrifying to this day. Brilliant.

Even the scenes with cgi never sacrificed any of the aforementioned. Todays directors need to learn from lessons that they struggle to because computers make anything possible.

45 seconds, and you're already invested all the way, without having even seen a single frame of the movie itself.

8 years old in 93, in the movie theatre watching this intro - "This is the best thing i'll ever see"

30 years later: "Yeah, you were damn close son."

You guys think this connects to the one scene in the beginning of the novel the bite of the raptor

I always wondered why that cage was able to slide back like that when it was locked. A malfunction in the system?

haven't seen this movie in many years, but came here bc my best friend said "you know what movie character you remind me of? that one raptor from Jurassic Park 1 in the intro scene"

Why didn’t the raptor just run out? There was such a big gap when the cage was knocked back? Idk how nobody has said anything about this?

I always thought the initial story of how the dinos got created and the creation of Jurassic Park was a missed opportunity for the franchise... A younger John Hammond coming up with the idea and the deaths before that point where the park was created because they couldn't resist the temptation of bringing in the predatory species...

I love Jurassic park🦖🦕

Saw this when I was 10 in 1993 in the theatres, IT WAS EFFING NUTS AND SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!!! Watched it countless times since then, it really is IMO the best movie ever made. The script/dialogue, the acting, the characters, the theme of man's hubris coming crashing down on itself, that's what makes it stand out to me now as an adult. Yeah the special effects were brilliant, but its the intellectual side of the movie that keeps me coming back. Helps that it stayed pretty close to the source material, like any good movie based on a novel.

Poor guy, I felt bad for him.

It looks like an accident, in fact the raptor is smart enough to escape from cage.

I like how Muldoon disregarded his own safety and immediately tried to save the gate keeper.

Summing up the entire point of the movie in the first three minutes; for all our technology and weaponry, humanity cannot control nature and may create a monster that will kill us.

why is this scary

Muldoon locking eyes with the Raptor is such great foreshadowing.

Isla Nublar (Fog Island), Isla Sorna (Malicious Island)

This all would be solved by a mechanically opening gate instead of some dude having to manually lift the gate.

Or... not raise killer reptiles from the past back alive to put in a amusement park.
