is one of history's most beloved and respected sci-fi action movies, but it has at least one major goof that many fans have pointed out. Directed by Steven Spielberg in 1993, Jurassic Park ushered in the new era of CGI animation. It was also a great story, with fantastic performances from its lead cast, and it still stands the test of time when it comes to not only dinosaur movies but also the sci-fi genre in general.
While Steven Spielberg is meticulous in his movies, this does not mean that mistakes don't slip by him. For many fans, there was an apparent mistake that should have been caught, especially concerning that this was a movie about brilliant scientists working on bringing dinosaurs back from extinction. , but many were misspelled. However, there is a chance this mistake was intentionally added to Jurassic Park.
There is always a chance that that no one caught onto. There should be an "O" instead of "A" in the dinosaur name Stegosaurus. There should be two "N"s in Tyrannosaurus. However, when looking at a line of dialogue from the source novel, there is also a chance that these misspelled dinosaur names were purposeful.

The Jurassic Park Movies Have Misrepresented One Dinosaur Since The Beginning & It Still Annoys Me
The Jurassic Park movies feature many dinosaurs from the Jurassic era, but one species has been inaccurately portrayed since Spielberg's first movie.
The novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton had more time for Dr. Henry Wu than the original movie did. In the book, the geneticist Dr. Wu had much more to do with bringing back the dinosaurs than almost anyone. However, the novel has a line of dialogue that speaks volumes about his complicity in what went wrong. In the book, Wu was talking to Alan Grant, and this is when the novel revealed that, as brilliant as he is, Wu didn't know the connection between amphibian DNA and dinosaurs' ability to breed.

What Happened To Every Character After Jurassic Park
Jurassic World: Dominion is bringing back the original movie's cast for one more adventure. Here's what became of every character after Jurassic Park.
There was also a quote where Dr. Wu said that he isn't good at keeping track of dinosaur names. Dr. Wu was a genius who could bring these dinosaurs to life but knew almost nothing about dinosaurs in general. Maybe there is the fact that the names of the dinosaurs were misspelled, likely by Dr. Wu, to show his lack of knowledge.

When the dinosaurs began to run rampant in Jurassic Park, John Hammond blamed Dr. Wu for everything that happened. Anyone who read the book knows Hammond was more to blame than anyone. He wouldn't listen to anyone around him. Even , and Hammond dismissed him. However, the fact that Hammond and Wu had no idea that these dinosaurs could breed was a combination of the two men having no idea what they were bringing into the world.

Jurassic Park: What Happened To John Hammond
John Hammond featured prominently in the first two Jurassic Park movies, but after that, the franchise left the character's fate ambiguous.
While Hammond's dismissal and refusal to be careful caused the deaths and the fallout in later movies, Dr. Wu was just as much to blame because he was working as blind as anyone. Dr. Wu had one focus concerning his work. He brought the extinct species of dinosaurs back to life, and this would cement his status as one of the most brilliant geneticists in history. Not taking the time to learn more about the species outside of bringing them to life led him to be known as a failure.
The people in charge didn't even know how to spell the dinosaurs' names right.
The dinosaurs ended up running loose, and people began to die. This was thanks to John Hammond and Dr. Wu, and there is a chance that the perceived goof was planned as a foreshadowing of what would happen in the film. Jurassic Park's ending saw the planned dinosaur theme park dead in the water, at least for a time. The fact that the people in charge didn't even know how to spell the dinosaurs' names right, much less know they could breed, showed it was doomed to fail.

It seems almost strange that Dr. Henry Wu became a villain in later Jurassic World movies. This is because, in the Jurassic Park novel, Wu died when a dinosaur got the drop on him. despite its overwhelming success. However, he only appeared briefly in the first movie and didn't die, so he was a perfect person to bring back as a future villain.

Jurassic World: Why Henry Wu Is Really A Villain
Originally, Dr. Henry Wu was a genetic scientist beaming with pride. In Jurassic World, Wu's temperament shows he is a villain on the deepest levels.
While the first movie only hinted at Dr. Wu's complicity in the dinosaurs running rampant, the book was more pronounced. He felt that even when the dinosaurs began to kill people, he was at least successful in what he set out to do. This played out in the movie world with Jurassic World, where he not only felt no remorse about any human deaths but kept pushing science to a point of no return. He was an actual human villain in this franchise reboot.
Dr. Wu's lack of knowledge about the actual biological attributes caused him to develop hybrids.
Even after Jurassic Park, Dr. Wu kept researching the science behind bringing the dinosaurs back, but he took it one step further. He studied creating hybrids, so the future theme park could create unique dinosaur breeds for fans to see. However, Dr. Wu's lack of knowledge about the actual biological attributes caused him to develop hybrids that became not only overpowered but deadly, killing countless people. Dr. Wu believed this was further proof of his success, despite proving he had no idea what he was doing.
