QUIZ: How Well Do You Know Jurassic Park?

A quiz 65 million years in the making.

THIS YEAR MARKS 25 years Jurassic Park was released. Do you feel old yet?

The tale of an ill-fated park full of cloned dinosaurs broke box office records the year it hit cinemas, and even held the title of the world’s highest grossing film until Titanic arrived two years on.

But as well as being a money-making hit, Jurassic Park has had a long lasting legacy, kicking off an entire series of sequels. Life finds a way, y’know?

The latest film in the franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is released on June 6th, so we’re looking back at the movie that started it all.
