What is it about? Released in 1997, ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park’ received mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. What most seemed to agree on was their dislike of the movie’s ending based around a captured T-Rex getting loose in the city of San Diego.
The movie was later fanedited by Vmancini into ‘A Failed Expedition to the Lost World: Jurassic Park’, reinserting two deleted scenes, and removing all reference to the captured T-Rex and it’s escape in San Diego.
Presented here is a revised edition of that edit, created at the request of and in association with Vmancini.

This edit is dedicated to the memory of Stan Winston
who sadly passed away just as I was completing this edit.

As Stan was responsible for the live action dinosaurs in this movie,
it seemed only fitting.

A small memorial can be seen ‘post-credits’ on the edit.

My intention for this Fanedit:
VMancini approached me via the Fanedit Forum to ask if I would be interested in putting together a revised edition of his edit, with his help and input. My aim is to clean up Vmancini’s edit, present a better picture and sound quality, and also to present the edit in a much higher quality way.

Additions/Cuts/Differences to the original edit:
Note: Both deleted scenes that have been added are now ratio matched to the rest of the movie. Although their quality on the DVD is not good, I have improved the quality as best I can, but they are still not as good as the rest of the movie.
· Added — New ‘A Failed Expedition to the Lost World: Jurassic Park’ titles created.
· Cut — Initial fly in over the island.
· Added — Boardroom deleted scene.
· Cut — Ian Malcolm yawning in the subway station (This is replaced in the previous added deleted scene with the board room member yawning).
· Added — ‘Mombasa Bar — Kenya’ deleted scene (I have edited this scene slightly — the scene in its original version seems to jump a bit from the end of the fight, to where Roland and Ajay sit down again. I’ve tried to make the scene flow a little better).
· Cut — Roland firing at the T-Rex with the air rifle.
· Cut — Ludlow discovering Roland with the unconscious T-Rex.
· Cut — Kelley’s gymnastics (Re-edited from the original edit — The removal of Kelly’s gymnastics scene had a very hard cut in the original edit, and a little continuity error. I have improved the edit for the removal of this scene to make the cut a lot smoother and remove the obvious continuity problem).
· Added (A scene reinserted which was cut in the original edit) — Roland and Ludlow’s last scene together (There was a comment made about the original edit that we never get to see Roland again after he tries to kill the T-Rex. I have added this scene back in so Roland gets a bit better send off, but edited it not to show the captured T-Rex in its cage. This also means that we get a last scene with Ludlow too, who also seemed to just disappear without a trace in the original edit).
· Cut — The San Diego ending is cut completely.
