@ borrowedcrime

That’s true, but either way, Jurassic Park introduced a type of dinosaur to everyone – whether it was accurately portrayed or not. Everyone knows T Rex, Triceratops, etc…but before JP, no one had heard of a velociraptor (or deinonychus for that matter).

“but how many people even knew what a velociraptor was before the movie was released?”

Well. Technically, those aren’t velociraptors at all, they’re more like deinonychus. Velociraptors were only a couple feet long, “turkey-sized” according to wikipedia, compared to a 10 foot long deinonychus. I think I read that it was Crichton who made the mistake on purpose, because “velociraptor” sounds cooler, basically. But they’re actually nowhere near the same animal.

@ Alex

Yes, CGI Yoda was omitted because that’s not Yoda. The puppet Yoda is the one that everyone remembers. Glad we’re on the same page.

Thanks for reading.

Madison:
Thanks for another fun list.
For the record, the velociraptors were definitely the stars of Jurasic Park in my book!
When I ready your introduction, I immediately thought of Gollum and Yoda from Stars Wars I, II, III … but then that Yoda faded from my mind and Yoda-the-puppet from Empire Strikes back swam into view. The puppet was more memorable, hands down. Is that why you omited CGI Yoda or did you have another reason?

Actually Davy Jones was mostly puppet work and prosthetics if I recall.
