Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park franchise revolutionized the film world and was a flick that defined 1993, leaving audiences in awe of its groundbreaking dinosaur visual effects. And the franchise returned to cinemas in 2015 with Colin Trevorrow's first entry in his Jurassic World trilogy. Even after five years since Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom graced the theaters, the memories are still vivid for Bryce Dallas Howard. The talented actress recently took to social media, treating fans to a behind-the-scenes photo that will instantly transport you back to the heart-pounding action of the franchise. In her role as the determined Claire Dearing, Howard offered a glimpse into the intensity she felt while filming one of the movie's most iconic scenes.

In an Instagram post, the Black Mirror alum shared a snapshot captured from behind the scenes of the second Jurassic World movie, showcasing herself along with Justice Smith’s Franklin Webb amid their gripping gyrosphere drop sequence. The actress accompanied the photo with a nostalgic caption, which read: 

Happy 5th Anniversary to this WILD ride 🎢🦖 #JurassicWorldFallenKingdom⁣The gyrosphere drop with [Justice Smith] will forever hold a special (terrifying) place in my heart — and if you can read lips, you’ll know exactly how terrified I was 🤣 #JurassicWorld #JurassicJune

While I may not be an expert lip reader, I can undoubtedly spot an F-bomb when it's dropped!
