11 In the first Jurassic Park movie, the infamous line by Lex “It’s a UNIX system! I know this!” is the exact depiction of Silicon Graphics 3D File System Navigator for IRIX which is an OS based on UNIX.
The experimental application was never a fully functioning file manager but it gained some recognition because it was mentioned in Jurassic Park.
In the scene, Lex Murphy, played by Ariana Richards finds the computer and begins restarting the building access control system to find the control room’s doors. (source)
12 Dr. Wu erases a data sheet in the lab in the first Jurassic Park movie. It is highly improper and unethical to erase lab data in scientific settings hinting at Dr. Wu’s corrupt nature that we see in the later films.

When Dr. Wu is introduced in the first movie, the focus is on his clipboard. He is busy writing and erasing something at the same time.
While recording the data, he makes a mistake that suggests he is hiding something from the park, which is revealed later.
Even if a mistake is made, it needs to be rectified before the researcher continues documenting the process.
The character’s evil nature is shown in the Jurassic World movie although these and other hints are already present in the first Jurassic Park movie. (source)

The man who’s eaten by the T-Rex because he tried to push on a pull door in the 1997 Jurassic Park, The Lost World is the movie’s screenwriter David Koepp.
The scene where he gets eaten is quite brutal. As T-Rex rampages through downtown San Diego, he grabs and squeals the unlucky bastard or the man who wrote the screenplay. One can hear the sound of his crunching bones. (1, 2)
14 Dennis Nerdy in Jurassic Park is wearing similar outfits to characters in The Goonies. The theory is that the similar clothing by Nerdy is a reference to The Goonies since Kathleen Kennedy was the producer of both the movies.
A Twitter user, Shawn Robare, came up with this theory. He first observed all the outfits worn by Nerdy played by Wayne Knight. After comparing them to ones worn by members in The Goonies, he found remarkable similarities.
It might be a pure coincidence but in case it’s true, it’s just a fun collab and nothing more surreal than that. (source)
