Wow. Stan wasn't messing around when he said these machines could harm you.

By the way this has nothing to do with the film but I get really annoyed when Kathleen, I hate with a burning passion, Kennedy calls the Pteranodon's "flying Dinosaurs." :petriemad

He actually said, “these things can kill you.”  ;)

By the way I grew up with the fullscreen version of this film and I honestly prefer that version over the widescreen version.

Interesting. I had both full and wide screen versions myself.

I hate the new logo on the digital box cover. They removed the Spino skeleton and put the T-Rex on amber orange.

By the way I adore Don Davis' score in this film. I think it's just as good as John Williams.

Same here, I think its actually better than William’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

I am pretty annoyed that none of his score was used in Lego Jurassic World.

Snagged this today when I was at the store:



Boy did it bring back memories. I loved JPIII, maybe more than JP even (blasphemy I know). The Spinosaurus was just such a terrifying apex predator, and I loved the Velociraptors.

The Spinosaurus I had twenty years ago had cheap rubber skin (see pic below), and the mouth could not close and chomp, it had SFX, and could move its head animatronically. But I’d have prepared this superior Camp Cretaceous version.



I also had the smaller Spinos, one what was aqua and white, the other was the traditional colors.

Actually if put your hand around the large Hasbro Spino's neck and squeeze you could open and close it's mouth. But yeah the Mattel one is so much better.

You could force close its mouth that is true, but It too was a cheap rubber. I prefer Camp Cretaceous one. :)

Honestly the fight between the Spino and Rex made me love Spinosaurus even more.

Same here. It was Joe trying to make clear to audiences that Spino is apex. It didn’t infuriate me at all. I was on T-Rex burn out from Lost World: JP.

I found Spino to be more terrifying, something about the crocodilian snout that makes him fearsome. The T-Rex always looks like he’s smiling, and frankly has been turned into an antihero, so I am never afraid for the cast anymore.

I've never actually seen Camp Cretaceous, anyone seen it and have opinions on whether it's good or not?

I love it! Seen all three seasons. I started a thread about it. I’ll post again and we can discuss it there.
