14 'Jurassic Park' references made in 'Jurassic World'

Universal
Despite being the fourth movie in the "Jurassic Park" franchise, "Jurassic World" is considered to be a direct sequel to 1993's "Jurassic Park."
It's a faithful sequel filled with references to the original. Some are obvious, and some you'll have to think twice about.
Here are all of the "Jurassic Park" references we spotted while seeing the film:
1. Mr. DNA hasn't gone anywhere.

Claire's outfit is a throwback to Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) in "Jurassic Park."
However, her actual outfit in general could be a throwback.
Bustle points out she wears an all white outfit just like John Hammond before her.
Then, at one point in the movie, she dramatically pauses to tie her shirt in a knot. On The /Filmcast, Joanna Robinson points out that the other great "Jurassic Park" heroine, Laura Dern did the same thing in the first movie:

3. The T. rex once again feasts on a goat
In "Jurassic Park," you get a lot of hints at the T. rex's fury before she can actually be seen in full view. One of them is a goat attached to a rope that eventually disappears.

Just when it seems like the Indominus Rex will make a meal out of everybody left at the park, Claire demands Lowery open up a certain gate. She walks up with a flare, just like Ian Malcolm before her, and signals that yes, the T. rex is back, giving fans something to cheer about.

Ian Malcolm uses a flair to distract T. rex, based on the (now outdated) scientific idea that their vision was based on movement.
