Two sequels were made to the original film. While the second film shared the name of the second book ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park,'' (1997) it had a wildly different storyline, mostly due to characters that originally died in the first book coming back. ''Jurassic Park III'' (2001) came out several years later. While neither rose to the 'classic' status of the first film, both were fairly well received. The same basic story exists in all of the films, only separated by what characters are involved and certain action scenes. There are also a number of computer-game tie-ins, among the most notable being ''[[Trespasser]]'' (for being [[Obvious Beta|one of the most obvious of betas ever released for retail]]), ''[[Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis|Operation Genesis]]'' (like ''[[Rollercoaster Tycoon]]'' with dinosaurs) and [[Jurassic Park: The Game|an episodic series]] by [[Telltale Games]] (like ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' with dinosaurs).

 

 

{{franchisetropes}}

* [[Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene]]: In the middle of the first film, [[Laura Dern]] and Richard Attenborough eat melting ice cream and talk about flea circuses. It's really quite touching.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sarah Harding in the second book. Probably she's the physically strongest character in the book. However, in the second movie, she [[Faux Action Girl|doesn't quite fit this trope]].

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Inverted with Gennaro. In the novel, he manages to fend off a ''Velociraptor'' attack and survives to the end. In the film, he becomes a [[Dirty Coward]] who dies a particularly embarrassing death.

** In the [[Master System]] game, instead of trying to escape the island, Grant is called to fight and capture the dinosaurs. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|At the end of the game, he defeats the ''Tyrannosaurus'' and the park is allowed to open as planned.]]

* [[For Science!]]: The motivation of InGen's geneticists, and Ian Malcolm's main beef with them.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: In the third film, when Mr. Kirby tells Grant that he can pay him any amount of money, the song in the background plays the line, "And I lie, lie, lie..."

** Grant foreshadows how Muldoon will die…and that a kid should show them respect, which Muldoon does. And no, holding still doesn’t work as with the case of the T-Rex, as Grant explains. And yes, Muldoon was alive when the raptor ate him.

* [[Fossil Revival]]

* [[Freudian Trio]]: With Hammond as the Id, Malcolm as the Superego, and Grant as the Ego.
