THE ORIGINAL JURASSIC PARK COVER AUGUST 1993
The fossil records are clear: Empire has always been dino-obsessed. Back in 1993, we went full Jurassic, reporting on the original film’s box-office draw (“shattered more records than a frustrated Radio One DJ”, we noted); recognising early the film’s greatness in a five-star review (“This, for once, is a blockbuster deserving of the name”); and we even visited the set, witnessing a Velociraptor scuttle past the camera.
