Jurassic Park - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Dennis Nedry is seen watching the movie "Jaws" on one of his computer monitors.
This is a direct homage to another of Steven Spielberg's most famous blockbusters, "Jaws". Both films are creature features that build immense suspense.
When Dr. Grant fastens his seatbelt on the helicopter, he gets two 'female' ends and has to tie them together.
This small detail cleverly foreshadows how the all-female dinosaurs on the island will manage to reproduce, echoing Ian Malcolm's theory that "life finds a way."
In the gift shop, a book titled "The Making of Jurassic Park" by Don Shay and Jody Duncan can be seen on a shelf.
This is a meta-reference, as this was a real, officially licensed book released in conjunction with the movie.
During a control room scene, a map on a monitor briefly shows a second island labeled 'Site B'.
This is a subtle foreshadowing of Isla Sorna, the 'factory floor' island where dinosaurs were bred before being moved to the park, which becomes the main setting for the sequel, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park".
