When you pause Jurassic Park at the right place, you discover a hidden reference

Steven Spielberg is known to almost everyone. In 2022, he brought The Fabelmans to the big screen, but above all, classics like Indiana Jones, E.T., and Jurassic Park propelled his films into pop culture. There is a reference to another Spielberg classic hidden in a scene of Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg often hides Easter eggs in his films. For example, a Yoda costume is hidden in the movie E.T. But in our Easter egg, it’s about Jurassic Park and how you can discover another Spielberg film there.

If you pause at the right moment, you will see another film featuring a top predator on a screen.

Spielberg is not only a director but also a big movie fan. You can catch him gushing:

You just need to pause at the right moment

To find the right moment, you need to wait until Alan Grant and the other characters have started their first tour of the park. After that, the scene in the control center begins, where John Hammond discusses errors with his employees.

During this, he argues with Dennis Nedry, played by Wayne Knight. It is exactly in this scene that we find the Easter egg. You can see how Dennis Nedry is not taking his job very seriously. He shakes off the problems, and it seems he is playing chess on a screen instead of doing his job.

If you pause correctly here, you see what he is doing on a screen. He is watching Jaws by Steven Spielberg. However, you have to look very closely. If you watch the movie on Netflix, this moment occurs around 00:43:50.

You can see the moment in the film here:
