Trivia

• Several of the action sequences, such as the Pteranodon aviary and the Spinosaur's river attack (although the River attack featured a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the novel), were featured in the original Jurassic Park novel but due to budget and other concerns, were left out of the previous films.
• Jeff Goldblum, who portrayed the character of Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park and The Lost World, was originally involved in Jurassic Park III. However, Goldblum injured his leg a few days into filming and dropped out, claiming his character wasn't very important to the film. The name of his character was mentioned briefly, in a dialogue between Alan Grant and Eric Kirby.
• Isla Sorna's look in this film is somewhat different from that in The Lost World. This is because much of The Lost World was shot in California forests while Jurassic Park III was filmed in Hawaii, where the original film was shot.
• Draft scripts featured Billy truly dying. He was reincarnated in late revisions to remove all tragic elements from the ending and make a complete wish fulfilment.
• Jurassic Park III is the first Jurassic Park film not to be:
