Jurassic Park call-backs in Jurassic World: Dominion (Prologue)

You may remember I compiled lists of Jurassic Park call backs and visual nods in Jurassic World (http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=3497) and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=6532.0).

I noticed a few more visual call-backs in the recent JW Dominion prologue clip so I've decided to start a list of call-backs etc for the third JW instalment. These are things that jumped out to me and I think they were intentional, but feel free to disagree. I'm not adding a spoiler tag to this thread so please watch the clip before you go any further.

If you notice any other call backs or visual nods flag please them and I can add them to the list. I have only included Jurassic Park references here.

1. A distant view of sauropods exiting a lake, one waist-deep, the skyline visible in the distance, the ground visible in the foreground, the sauropods are striding to the right, a flock of birds/pterosaurs are in the scene.


2. An apex predator ( :P ;D ), centred in the frame, backlit by a projector.


3. Two children lying on their bellies under a car, screaming for their lives, under attack from a T. rex whose foot is visible in the background.


4. Oblique view of a T. rex footprint in wet mud pointing to the right.

Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

Not visual but the Giganotosaurus sounds similar to the Indominus rex, which had Giganotosaurus DNA in its makeup (I believe this was shown in FK if I recall correctly, but it was very much a thing on the original JW viral site as well).

True, but the T. rex stopping and roaring dramatically has become such a staple of all these films it no longer seems necessary to point it out. It's not a call back so much as it is just what T. rex does in this series.
