[edit] Film Settings

I can't claim to know about the books, but The Lost World film did not take place on Isla Nublar. The sequel was definately set on Isla Sorna (Site B) in Las Cinco Muertes island chain. I'm not sure about the setting for JP3. Willard 20:15, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

JP3 was Sorna. How else would Ellie have known where to send the millitary.

"Ellie! SITE B! THE RIVER!"... they wouldn't have found Billy or everyone else had they not been on sorna. --70.119.50.167 23:04, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Costa Rican Air Force

At the risk of offending some Costa Ricans out there, I'm going to unlink the "Costa Rican Air Force" reference. Since Costa Rica doesn't have a military, and hasn't for 50 years, that article is not likely to materialize. This is certainly not something I want to get into a nationalistic debate about, so if someone would rather link it to the generic Air Force article instead, that's fine, too (although I don't really see the benefit of doing that, so I'm not going to).

Well, I recall that's how the book ended; napalm was being dropped on the forests by the Costa Rican Air Force. If we can write about dinosaurs being brought back to life for an amusement park, why not just accept that in this fictional setting, there is a Costa Rican Air Force? I could write up an article for them that says, "The Costa Rican Air Force is a fictional military force from the novel Jurrasic Park...", but then, that might piss off Costa Ricans even more ;) Identity0 13:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish

I'd say that in the Spanish translation of the book, it is called Isla Nubla without R. es:Parque Jurásico doesn't help since it seems machine-translated from English.

[edit] Dinosaurs on Isla Nublar

Does anyone know if the Dinosaurs on Isla Nublar are still alive? Cause I wanna know

Novel wise, no. Film wise, a cut scene says they are not. Debatebly it is said they are, but the cut scene was cut because of time and pacing. They are still in the film if you watch it on tv.

You know the cut between the girl being attacked and the subway? How the screams of the brakes and the lady interact... well...that wouldn't be there. Also, Steven Speilberg hates deleted scenes, and yet they are included on the DVD so I think he's making a statement which is that they are still valid. They were cut because what's said in them is said in other scenes and they weren't needed.

But anyways, it is commonly said that in all universes, NUblar is barren. --70.119.50.167 23:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

  • I have read the script review of Jurassic Park 4 though and it says this guy, Neil i think it was, went back to find the canister that Dennis Nedry dropped. Nedry dropped the canister in the main park on Isla Nublar. The script also says that Neil is attacked by loads of dinosaurs. There must be loads of dinosaurs still on the island, or there are new ones which have been released. 19:43, 12 November 2006 User:82.20.2.177
  • "The Nublar animals may well have been similarly exterminated in the movie storyline. This is hinted at in a cut scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park where new InGen leader Peter Ludlow, Hammond's nephew discusses the cost of having to demolish Jurassic Park.". That it was cut shows that it was removed from canon. I get the impression that the dinosaurs (plus rust and weather) were doing much of the demolishing. The book kills off the dinosaurs likely because its author did not think at time of a sequel and wanted to "put his toys away" and get back to real-world conditions where there are no living dinosaurs. Likeliest the Nublar dinosaurs and the Sorna dinosaurs are still living and breeding. (Note that at the end of "Lost World" the pterosaurs escaped.) Anthony Appleyard 18:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

No. Isla Nublar is dead. If you look at Steven Speilberg enough, you'd realize he hates deleted scenes. There are maybe 2-3 DVD releases that have deleted scenes in them. TLW being one of them. Not to mention, when TLW is on tv, the deleted scenes are in the film. I consider them cannon because there is nothing wrong with them. Everything that happends in them works in the film. They were not cut because of anything except to aid in the pacing of the film. The Wonderful dissolve between the woman screaming and Ian standing in the subway would NOT exist if the scenes had been left in. For this reason and this reason ALONE they were removed. Check TLW DVD, Kathleen Kennedy says so.

They are on the DVD because they are considered cannon and in the TV version, they are included. If they truly didn't want that line to be included, then when they put it on tv, they would cut it, but they don't. They left the mention of "Destruction and dismantling of Isla Nublar: facilities organic and inorganic..." Nublar is no longer inhabited. The only inhabited Island that we know of is Sorna (and debateable because of migration, the other 4 islands in the chain) but besides that, there are no other islands that we know of with dinosaurs.--Voyager1 11:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

They might have missed a few compies...DinoBird 14:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

What i don't get is that Dodgson said in both the Book AND the film (Original JP) is that he said the canister had only enough colant to last 36 hours. Yet it is at least 8 years(JP3) since JP1 :S--Ballad Of Big Al (talk) 17:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Al
