Boardroom |
| This
scene follows up the beginning incident scene that is now accustomed
for the opening of the JP movie franchise. Ludlow in this scene
briefly describes money owed for deaths of John Raymond Arnold,
Robert Muldoon, and Donald Gennaro. Also mentioned is the deconstruction
of facilities on Isla Nublar organic and inorganic. Ludlow uses
the troubled financial state of InGen to remove his uncle, John
Hammond, from CEO of InGen. |

| Extended
Hammond and Malcolm |
| This scene was to have a different
opening of what was in the film giving more background information
instead of just saying a second island exists. It re-uses some
of the lines from the novel, but aside from that it was possibly
cut due to run time constrictions. |

| Roland
and Ajay Meeting |
| According
to the script this scene was supposed to take place after Dr.
Malcolm and John Hammond talk at Hammond's house. The scene adds
more depth to the characters of Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu. As
hunters Roland and Ajay have hunted everything together and retired
due to lack of sport involved and the ever increasing endangered
species acts. Roland admits he is bored with life after picking
a fight with a bar patron over harassing a bar maid. Roland eventually
comes to the realization that he should take the offer of going
to Isla Sorna to hunt a male Tyrannosaur as it was the greatest
predator that ever lived. |

| Gatherers
Organize |
In
the film the audience is left to assume the Gatherer Team (Nick,
Eddie, Ian, and stowaway Kelly) just dropped their trailers and
took off to find Sarah. Actually this couldn't be further from
the truth. The team looks through their gadgets, and Eddie briefly explains how everything works to track down Sarah and avoid animal attacks.
The way the camp is set up has raised some doubt on the way the movie moments are positioned on the
Isla
Sorna map. A possible reason for this is that the team could
have found a clear path to park the cars and the RV and swung
around instead of approaching through the heavily forested areas
and risk damaging their vehicles. |

| Stego
Run & Extended Ian and Sarah |
| The
run from the Stegosaurus after it left the area was originally
supposed to be shown followed by a longer trek back to the Gatherer
Base Camp. The scene to the right has Sarah going "Isn't
it great?!" the following trek back was supposed to show
more of Ian and Sarah's relationship. Overall the scene states
what happened to him in between films and more or less how they
met. |

| Ludlow
Injures the Baby |
| This
was a scene David Koepp was sad to see go. The reason being was that this scene gave more depth to
the characters of Roland Tembo and Peter Ludlow. Both men, in this scene, would basically exchange bits of their
own varied lives and philosophies with each other. Ludlow was particularly adamant
in the fact of wanting the infant for Jurassic Park: San Diego.
Unfortunately during this scene Ludlow, while intoxicated, hears another animal
scamper in the underbrush and trips and falls on the infant Tyrannosaur's leg
breaking it. |

| Breaking
into the Camp |
| In
a scene previous to this Malcolm, Sarah, and Nick are debating
breaking into the camp. After hearing Malcolm lecture about
Gambler's Ruin and how the original goal of the Gatherer Team taking documented
evidence of the animals without them being captured is now moot leads to the
decision with Nick and Sarah to break into the camp and free the dinosaurs.
They hide behind the equipment to avoid detection while cutting
the fuel lines to the individual vehicles to prevent the hunters from recapturing the freed dinosaurs. |

| Extended
Baby Rex Leg Surgery |
| There
is an extended scene discussing the adult Rex's behavior over
their baby. Unfortunately this dialogue was cut due to pacing
and no images are known to exist of the extension on this scene.

|
| Should
Ian marry Sarah? |
| This
scene was in some ways critical to the film. Kelly discusses with
Ian whether or not he should marry Sarah because of how he feels about her, of course, the topic changes once Sarah enters the tent,
but it was excellent for character development and highlighted
a bit of romance in the JP series. |

|
| Benjamin's
Room |
| In
the 1996 draft of the script the Tyrannosaur does indeed slam
its head through Benjamin's window to smell him, his father,
and his mother. This scene was cut possibly due to the fact it
was too traumatic for a younger audience. Unfortunately no screen
captures exist of this. |

|
| Different
Endings |
| There
were at least a couple different endings in the second film
to choose from. One such was Ian and Sarah overseeing the Rex's
return to Isla Sorna. Another scene saw a climatic battle
similar to what transpired in the first movie only between
Velociraptors and the Pteranodons instead. The San Diego incident was
ultimately chosen, but instead of Ian and Sarah overseeing the
Rex's transition back they watched from their apartment with Kelly.
