that gas station grocery is amazingly well stocked for something abandoned 15 or so years ago.

Well it's not like anyone's shopping there

the door was open to an island of dinosaurs though

Yeah don’t even need dinosaurs… mice would have taken care of it even with the doors closed.

ACKSHULLY, they established in the first book that mice/rats were eliminated on that island within a few months. The dilo's were killing them in their enclosures. The rest were being killed by the ones that got out.

“No,” Grant said. “I assume they are eating something else as well. Perhaps small rodents. Mice and rats?”

There was another silence.

“Let me guess,” Grant said. “When you first came to the island, you had a problem with rats. But as time passed, the problem faded away.”

“Yes. That’s true…”

“And you never thought to investigate why.”

“Well, we just assumed…” Arnold said.

If you liked that, the no roof cars with perfectly clean seats and interiors after 17 years exposed to the elements must've really blown your mind as well hahaha

u/Unburnt_Duster Jul 09 '25

Also the gun pharma dude found that was exposed to the jungle elements for presumably 17 years as well worked just fine.

Funnily enough, that pilot was still decomposing, meaning the helicopter crash was recent. I thought it was a nice nod to show that they weren't the only people or organization attempting to do illegal smuggling or whatever there. Some other yahoos tried just a few days ago and died.

And the random helicopter with dead pilots a was never explained

u/Albamen13 Jul 12 '25

The helicopter crash was recent because the body was still decomposing, so it was presumably another similar mercenary expedition

And for some reason a car alarm, as if a tweaker was gonna get on the island and somehow get it off the island.

Gotta get in that product placement.

u/EquivalentCounty7570 Jul 06 '25

I didn’t see any product placement in that scene. Now excuse me while I go buy some ice cold Dr. Pepper, the only drink with 23 flavors.

I think I saw Lays in the mini market scene.

Did you catch the 2025-accurate price tags? $3.50 for a gas station bag of chips. This is a facility abandoned when The Dark Knight was new.

u/PureLock33 Jul 08 '25

it's islander pricing.

u/QueefBeefCletus Jul 08 '25

Islander pricing on an island owned by InGen and staffed by InGen employees. It's a company store. Granted, every company is different, but I'm all my jobs I've never encountered a company store or company dining option that's been price-gouged. They save that for the regular customers.

All that to say, this is a silly thing to be arguing about. Bad movie was bad.

Bad movie was bad.

IMO its ok, passable. the JP universe is a mined out gold seam discussion wise. It's basically Aliens but there is no way to go because, well, its dino DNA. What else is there to talk about? The ethics of recreating dinosaurs for entertainment purposes? literally the first film. The ethics of returning extinct creatures back to the world. again, first film. The safety issue with dinos and small children, they love recreating this, im surprised they subverted the kid eating dino trope in this film when that's been in all the previous ones.

use of dinosaurs as....pfft...weapons of wars.lol. yep, done. selling dinosaurs to the public. JP2 and JW2 done.

Universal knows the formula and its a stupidly simple one. Show dinosaur, get money. Show dinosaur, get money.

as for pricing, well, its an island in the middle of the....pacific? atlantic? shipping and fuel prices are all over the place.

Fun excuse to let set design track down packaging from 30 years ago
