Line 90:
* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: Played straight in the first movie right off the bat with the nameless black InGen worker who gets eaten in the first scene. Later averted when [[Samuel L. Jackson|Arnold]] is among the last to die after everything goes to hell.
** Averted again in the second film, where a Velociraptor pounces on a black Ingen hunter, and in the third film, where the black mercenary is the second one to die.
* [[Both Sides Have a Point]]: No side is being portrayed as being in the wrong while at the dinner table (though Gennaro is indeed kind of silly). Hammond should indeed be careful when he creates life though.
* [[Brick Joke]]:

Line 196 ⟶ 197:
* [[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..."
** Robert Muldoon expresses concern that the velociraptors would escape, which they did.
* [[Fossil Revival]]
* [[Freudian Trio]]: With Hammond as the Id, Malcolm as the Superego, and Grant as the Ego.
Line 201 ⟶ 203:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Is this... auto... erotica?"
* [[Giant Flyer]] : The various pterosaurs that feature as background characters. The ''Pteranodons'' get [[A Day in the Limelight]] in ''Jurassic Park III''.
* [[Good Is Not Dumb]]: None of the heroes are dumb, John Hammond included. Hammond simply makes mistakes, that’s all. A good example of this is during the dinner table scene, where they all respectfully disagree with Hammond, with the partial exception of Donald Gennaro.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Well into the park's collapse, Wu reflects that the dinosaurs' breeding means he's succeeded at recreating these creatures of the past, enough that they can even reproduce themselves.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: The series loves the "character gets attacked by a dinosaur and dragged offscreen, where a bloodcurdling scream (and maybe a trickle of blood) is used to show that they've been horribly killed" method. Nearly every death that isn't caused by a big dino happens this way.
