Attention must also be paid to the 25th anniversary of the dinosaur franchise’s second film, 1997’s “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.”Goldblum’s Malcolm took the lead in that movie, which debuted on May 23, 1997 and saw the sci-fi action move from the original park on Isla Nublar to Isla Sorna (otherwise known as Site B) where the resurrected dinosaurs roam freely.After a young girl is attacked on the island, Jurassic Park founder John Hammond (the late Richard Attenborough) recruits a team, led by Malcolm, to study and document the animals in their natural habitat in hopes of encouraging the government to enact a policy of non-interference.

Of course, things almost immediately go awry when the research team clashes with a second crew on a mission to capture some of the dinosaurs to fill a planned new park in San Diego. “The Lost World” a carnage-filled ride that ultimately ends in a wild chase through the streets of the SoCal city as Malcolm and his girlfriend, behavioral paleontologist Dr.
