The Lost World: Jurassic Park | 1997 | PG-13 | - 0.7.3
The dinosaurs are back when Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) discovers Mr. Hammond (Richard Attenborough) had another island filled with bioengineered Jurassic period fauna.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A few scenes where people are eaten by a dinosaur -- in one we see a man's bloody leg. A group of dinosaurs stalk and attack a group of people resulting in falls; the dinosaurs jump on people and fight each other. One dinosaur is impaled with some blood. A girl is attacked by birdlike dinosaurs and later a man is attacked by the same type and has his lip nearly bitten off (some blood). A stream and a waterfall are filled with blood after two dinosaur attacks. Two dinosaurs attack a trailer and rock the people inside it. They nearly pitch it off a cliff as the people dangle, fall and try to hold on. A dog is eaten by a dinosaur, off screen. A man shocks a couple of birdlike dinosaurs. A dinosaur lifts two men off the ground without injury and one head butts a man and a truck. A woman has a few bloody cuts on her forehead, blood on her jacket and leaves blood on a plant. A few scenes of rioting, reckless driving and car crashes. A boat also crashes into a dock. A few explosions.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
