Nowadays, it's easy to credit Jurassic Parkas one of the most significant cinematic achievements in the latter days of the 20th century.
Effortlessly adapting Michael Crichton's best-selling book for the big screen, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park also proved a landmark film for the exploration of CGI in mainstream movies, influencing countless movies that followed in its wake.
At the time of its initial production, however, the movie endured its fair share of logistical challenges and setbacks, including a massive hurricane that upended filming in September 1992.
As actor Sam Neill recently told Entertainment Weekly, Jurassic Park's production was briefly halted by the arrival of Hurricane Iniki in Hawaii, where the film was currently locked in filming.
"We'd been working in Hawaii for a week or 10 days, and we went down to report for duty at 6:30 in the morning or whatever it is," the 78-year-old actor said. "And they said, 'We're not going to work today... There's a hurricane coming.'"
As the cast and crew readied themselves for the hurricane's landfall, Neill remembered a brief conversation he shared with co-star Laura Dern about the hurricane's imminent impact.
"Laura and I went down to the beach, and she said, 'Do you think we might die today?' And I said, 'I think that's entirely possible,'" the Alan Grant actor said.
"Because it traveled very fast, it wasn't a very damaging hurricane, but it did a lot of damage when it was right over the top of us," Neill said. "It destroyed our sets, and it meant we had to travel back to L.A. in two or three days when a plane could actually land — 'cause the airport was covered in dead trees and things."
To this day, Neill said that very few events in his life have compared to the hurricane's fierce path, maintaining that every other disaster he's been through pales in comparison.
"I've been through a few semi-disasters on films, but that's the closest we actually came to death," the actor concluded.
