Off the top of my head, brachiosaurs likely couldn't lift themselves onto their rear legs to feed, DNA from mosquitos in resin is probably a pipe dream, raptors had feathers and were probably quite stupid, and the t-rex probably had really good eyesight but wouldn't be fast enough to chase down a jeep - however, those are more recent conclusions.
There was also a lot of creative license taken with the size of a lot of the dinosaurs in the film - generally, they were scaled up to make them more impressive. Dilophosaurus spitting to attack is pure fabrication as well.
- pavlov 11y agoOn the other hand, movies generally must take creative license to build up a satisfying plot within a 2-hour running time limit. Casablanca is not a realistic portrayal of a Nazi regime and Citizen Kane doesn't tell the truth about Hearst.
- mattmanser 11y agoYes, but Rick Blaine doesn't shoot laser beams from his eyes and Jedediah Leland wasn't 12 feet tall.
- pavlov 11y agoNobody has seen a live dinosaur, and most people haven't met a real 1930s Nazi. So the image of both is pretty much determined by popular culture. The German Nazi party had 6 million members, most of whom were nothing like the bad guy in Indiana Jones. Similarly Jurassic Park isn't a true-to-life portrayal of actual dinosaurs.
