... paddock changing elevation scene, I assure you it does occur. Not only do I have this film on LD (and eventually all 3 on DVD), I saw this movie more times than I care to remember when it first came out. Note: My wife and I took everyone we knew to it at the one theater displaying it in DTS in Dallas, just as an excuse to keep going back. Heck, Spielburg probably made the other two sequels on the profits of our repeated sojourns! ;^)I recommend your going back and watching the scene where the Tyranosaur eats the goat. That's on even terrain, obviously with the intended purpose of allowing future spectators to observe the Tyranosaur "dining." Notice that the Tyranosaur pops the cables to his enclosure upon realizing that there's no electricity to hold him/her in and subsequently smashes the Park RVs including the one containing Spielburg's patented "cute kid who's smarter than every adult in the picture." Okay, are you still with me? Next you'll see the vehicle pushed to the side of the road, NOT the opposite side mind you, but the same side where the hungry T-Rex ate part of the goat and smashed through the paddock. What happens next, do you recall? Grant and the girl climb down the snapped cable next to the T-Rex paddock, which had in the previous scene been at ground level! After that we have the vehicle with the boy trapped inside pushed over the side, almost nailing Grant, lodging in this tree which, based on what follows, must've been three times the height of the tallest Redwood in California!
I will agree with you that Spielburg didn't overuse the child-like sentimentality even though I felt that he was chomping at the bit a couple of times. Overall, I think we agree very strongly about the consistent quality of the Jurassic Park series, even when the directing chores fell to someone else with a different style on the third outing. It's a good thing to remember just how many times good series been weakened by substandard entries just to rake in the cash from disappointed filmgoers. Alien III & IV come to mind, but there are many others, including Spielburg's own "Temple of Doom" sequel to "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Note: I think that he learned a valuable lesson from that about respecting the audience and followed that weak entry up with a film that's arguably superior to the first in that series. Consistency of quality is the the way to maintain a successful franchise and keep 'em comin' back for more! Now bring on those dinos! :o)
