Arnie was aware that the main competition was Jurassic Park. He mentioned it when they were filming the dinosaur pit sequence.
They commit the terrible sin of telling instead of showing because Charles Dance said he had assembled all these movie bad guys to fight him--he mentioned King Kong among them. That's where they screwed up because it could have used some whizbang. That awful cartoon Devito character and the clumsy way they brought in a digital Bogart--they even had to say "Humphrey Bogart" so they would know it was him.
I think they were partially inspired by Roger Rabbit--that was the gist of it. I think they oversold Arnie's popularity with this film. If you look at the ones he was most famous for, they were usually ones where FX was involved. The Terminator, Predator, Total Recall...
