In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire makes a memorable speech that begins with her saying, “You never forget the first time you saw a dinosaur” — and surely many Jurassic Park fans will agree. Twenty-five years ago today the epic film brought to life creatures that have been extinct for eons, and the majority of cinefiles will never forget their first time watching it unfold. Of course, the experience was definitely different for the people who actually made the blockbuster, but as I discovered talking to Jeff Goldblum this past weekend, the feelings of awe and joy are certainly equitable:
I had the pleasure of hopping on the phone with Jeff Goldblum a few days ago as part of the press day for J.A. Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but, naturally, I took the opportunity to also talk him about his personal history with this legendary franchise. Using Claire’s quote as a lead-in, I asked him how he remembers the first time he saw a dinosaur, and he responded by painting me a picture of what it was like to see Jurassic Park‘s sick Triceratops for the first time.
There are many incredible dinosaur sequences in Jurassic Park, from the roaming Brontosauruses, to the first Tyrannosaurus Rex attack, to the Velociraptor hunt in the kitchen, but the scene with the sick Triceratops is certainly top tier. If you had no idea that they had gone extinct, you might think that they brought in a live one to use on set, as the puppetry is simply masterful. What Stan Winston’s studio was able to accomplish is movie magic in its purest form.

This being the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park, I hope a lot of you can find some time today to relive the amazingness that is unquestionably one of Steven Spielberg’s greatest works. It will also help you get ready for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which arrives in theaters next Friday, June 22nd. Stay tuned for more of our coverage here on CinemaBlend, including more from my interview with Jeff Goldblum!
