Lost World Goodies

The San Diego sequence of THE LOST WORLD is ripe with in-jokes and 
other references.  Here's what some of the eagle-eyed readers of  
rec.arts.movies.current-films have spotted:

  o dino crashes through U.S. Customs sign that reads "no plants, 
    vegetables, or animals past this point"
  o Asian tourists running in fear, looking over their shoulders.  
    Obvious nod to GODZILLA
  o T-Rex versus bus.  Boat arriving post-haste.  Nods to SPEED and 
    SPEED 2?
  o screenwriter (and second unit director) David Koepp is the guy 
    who gets eaten in front of video store.  He's later listed in 
    the credits as "Unlucky Bastard"
  o inside of said store, stuff promoting Arnold Schwarzenegger in 
    WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S KING LEAR, Robin Williams in JACK AND THE 
    BEANSTALKS, and Tom Hanks in TSUNAMI SUNRISE
  o as T-Rex passes a basketball goal, his right claw dribbles an 
    imaginary ball
  o a street sign on the edge of the frame that reads:

            NO
         DINOSAURS
          SKATING
       SKATEBOARDING


What did you catch?
