Jurassic Park: A Seat Belt Malfunction Reveals That the Dinosaurs Can Reproduce
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
Jurassic Park is a movie about dinosaurs killing people, but several things had to go wrong in order for this to happen.

This is one of the big twists of the film, when paleontologist Dr. Sam Neill discovers that the dinosaurs are breeding despite the fact that they were genetically engineered to all be female (specifically to prevent this). It is a development that, indeed, no one saw coming, for how in the name of science could a bunch of prehistoric lizards equipped with nothing but girl parts be expected to make babies?
However, if you were paying close attention, it's a twist the movie gives away in the first 20 minutes.
The Foreshadowing:
It's played as just a throwaway joke -- as the helicopter carrying all the '90s-fashionable scientists swoops down toward Isla Nublar, Neill is told to buckle his seat belt. But then this happens:

Alan Grant, Ph.D., makes three separate attempts to buckle these together.
That's right -- Neill is stuck with two buckles, rather than the tongue and buckle combination required to secure him safely to the helicopter bench. The clasp, incidentally, is also referred to as the "female" end, so Sam is technically stuck with nothing but female parts. He continues fumbling around with the mismatched seat belt while Jeff Goldblum stares him down like a guy who knows a thing or two about female parts:
