20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Lost World: Jurassic Park

1. The OG Lost World Homage

While likely sitting as the most well-known feature to boast the title, Spielberg's Jurassic Park: The Lost World was by no means the first picture to possess those latter three words upon landing in a cinema screen.

Jumping all the way back to 1925, a silent feature directed by Harry O. Hoyt also came equipped with this eye-catching moniker. And clearly sensing the opportunity to callback to that black and white OG Lost World, super Steve seemed to salute a certain turn-of-events found within the dino disaster flick when realising his own San Diego destruction scenario.

In said '20s movie adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name, a Brontosaurus is transported to London in the aim of showing off the creature's incredible existence. However, things quickly go south as the poor herbivore breaks free from his captors and goes on a mad one through the British streets.

Sound familiar? Well that's probably because pretty much the exact same unfortunate situation goes down in Spielberg's sequel, only the director deviously swapped in a menacing T-Rex for the slow trodding Brontosaurus when it came time to ravage his particular city.

Make no mistakes, though, this modern take on The Lost World definitely found time to pay tribute to its black and white roots.
