At the beginning of Steven Spielberg's 1981 adventure film "Raiders of the Lost Ark," Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) escapes from a jungle-bound ancient temple having just escaped spiders, darts, moving stone doors, a near-plummet into a pit, and a massive rolling boulder. To make matters worse, Indy didn't even get to keep the golden Chachapoyan fertility idol that he had plundered from inside, reluctantly handing it over to a greedy rival (Paul Freeman) backed by an army of armed locals. Indy manages to slip away and, once again, just barely escapes peril as the locals fire arrows and poison darts at him. He barely manages to make it back to a seaplane in a nearby river, where his pilot Jock (Fred Sorenson) flies him to safety.
Ah, but the peril isn't quite over. Indy notices that there's a snake in his passenger seat. Jock assures Indy that it's just his pet snake,...

You may have seen Jurassic Park a dozen times, but there loads of details that are easy to miss. Details like these...
Last week, visual effects artist Todd Vaziri took to Twitter to shatter the illusions of Jurassic Park fans everywhere. "When people watch this 24-year old mega-blockbuster," he tweeted, "they point and laugh at the totally obvious disappearing raptor on each viewing, ya?"

What, Todd? The what!?
Alongside this tweet, Vaziri also posted a slowed down Gif of the moment in question and - yep - there it is. During the final set piece, in which the T-Rex (somehow silently) stomps into the Visitor's Centre and gobbles up the Velociraptors, one of the Raptors disappears. Not eaten by the Rex, just gone. One frame, she's there, the next she's not, the following one she's there again.

One of my earliest memories is going to see "Jurassic Park" with my father (my parents didn't believe in little things called "ratings restrictions"). I don't remember much of the actual movie from the T. rex attack on because I spent it with my arms wrapped around my dad's neck staring at the back of the theater.
And yet, despite traumatizing my 4-year-old self, "Jurassic Park" has since managed to become one of my favorite movies (and books) of all time. In honor of this weekend's 3D re-release, I've cobbled together seven facts about the film. Read on, dinosaur aficionados!
1) It owes its existence to "ER": Director Steven Spielberg was initially working with "Jurassic Park" author Michael Crichton to develop a film version of what would later become "ER" when he heard about Crichton's dino-park horror show novel and decided to make that instead. But Spielberg...
