When I first watched this in the cinema I had to hide a few tears with the load of blokes I was watching it with lol.
Awesome scene that should cheer a few people up.
It's a shame every film afterwards got progressively worse, for it's time JP1 was fairly accurate but the sequels (apart from the Lost World) have no such excuse for the lack of vibrant colours, feathers (especially on the raptors and Rexy) proto-feathers and quills on the dinosaurs plus they got more and more 'lumpy' progressively slower, less muscular and dumber.
Jurassic World 1+2 are a disgrace - they are just moron monster movies for the WOKE generation and the less said about the laughable Pterosaurs and the Mosasaur the better.
Even almost 30 years on this is the best Brachiosaur ever to be brought to the screen.

I remember when that scene came on, everyone in the cinema going woahhhh

Would you trust Janice with your kid?

Her manic laughter and total obliviousness to that poor kids suffering makes it funny.

The poor lad was almost hung to death though, so I don't think we should be laughing.

Bono always means well, but he came out of the traps with what many saw as indecent speed to release a ballad for the people of Italy entitled ‘Let Your Love Be Known’ and urged Italians to ‘sing it from the rooftops.’ As one critic responded acidly: ‘Haven’t they suffered enough?’

This is apparently a true story - at least I hope it is!

*Edit - just checked on Snopes and it's not - still funny as fuck though.

At a U2 concert in Glasglow Scotland, Bono asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies." From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet... "Well, fucking stop doing it , Ya evil bastard!"
