We enjoy committing mayhem for a monetary gain
and we specialize in crimes which are completely inhumane.
Now we’re on our way steal some sheep and drown the boy at sea.
And then directly we’ll collect a very handsome fee and we won’t be happy till we get it.
In some lagoon a body soon will splash.
We’re eager to proceed, to do this evil deed, just as long as we are paid in cash.

I loved this sequence and probably disturbed my family at how much.

A wonderful token villain song of greedy, capitalism, and general plundering of natures recourses in disregard for anyone or anything but your own self gain. Its meant as a precautionary “look how bad they are” tale, but I of course love it for the bad reasons. The song also serves as a “just in case you forgot” moment that the entire movie is propaganda to remind us that Natives = good and noble, Whites = bad and greedy.

The famous scene from Jurassic Park when an apparantly sweet-looking Dilophosaur dinosaur suddenly turns vicious, attacking Dennis Nedry.

Unfortunately, the real Dilophosaurus was nothing like this. From Wikipedia:

Dilophosaurus was prominently featured both in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park, and in the original novel by Michael Crichton. In the film version, Dilophosaurus has a retractable neck frill around its neck (much like a frill-necked lizard), and spits blinding poison, aiming for the eyes to blind and paralyze its prey. There is no evidence to support either the frill or the venom spitting,[4] which was acknowledged by Crichton as creative license.[5] In the film, Steven Spielberg also reduced Dilophosaurus’s size to 3 feet tall and 5 feet long, much smaller than it should have been.

Jurassic Park merchandise, including toys and video games (such as Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and the arcade games The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III), often include Dilophosaurus. Another video game, ParaWorld, features a Dilophosaurus modeled after the ones in Jurassic Park. Yet another dinosaur-themed game, Jurassic Wars, featured a Dilophosaurus, which spat venomous saliva, just as described in the movie.
