Mercedes-Benz paragraph removed from Production section[edit]
“
Mercedes-Benz's new sport-utility vehicle, the M-class, had not yet been introduced and made its first appearance in the film.[1] As a result, on the original VHS copies of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a Mercedes-Benz ad appears before the film.[2]
It was a deliberate decision. Spielberg had seen the actress previously and told her he'd put her in a movie some day. So the character who combined two children from the novel-one a black male and the other a white female-was written as a black girl and Malcolm's daughter. In my opinion, it would have been better to have used Crichton's characters, but it is what it is.TheBaron0530 (talk) 21:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to The Numbers, the Worldwide Box Office where $786,6 millions[1]. That's over $150 millions more than the figures that IMDb and BoxOfficeMojo opperates with. Does anyone know whats the cause of this significant difference ?--Ezzex (talk) 14:48, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Isla Sorna is a tropical island, yet the vegetation shown in the movie is more typical of a redwood forest, like in Northern California. Any particular thoughts of where this comment could be included in this article? Pazvilre (talk) 16:51, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the novel, Crichton writes that the altitude of the mountains on the islands, combined with the Pacific weather, combine to produce varied climate zones, from tropical to northern temperate forest. But yeah, I'm not sure that's described explicitly in the movie.TheBaron0530 (talk) 21:15, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This recent edit introduced Joseph Mazzelo and Ariana Richards to the lead section, despite their small roles in the film. They have no impact on the plot and the article only mentions them in the cast section. This doesn't seem like lead-worthy material. I'm curious what others think.

If they're not on the poster and don't have a major impact on the plot, they probably shouldn't be mentioned in the lead. I get that fans want to use Wikipedia to document various facts about their favorite films, but you have to draw the "that's trivia" line somewhere.

If an actor from the first is back then they should be mentioned. It's been like that on wikipedia all the time if you type a sequel to a specific film.Cosmic2992 (talk)
For major actors, yes, but Richards and Mazzello have a handful of lines and do nothing of importance during their one-minute appearance. What other articles include such minor roles in the lead? Merely returning from a previous movie is not enough to merit inclusion, not when such actors/characters have no impact on the film. AJFU (talk) 15:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
