This may be the single most underrated channel I’ve ever seen
I love finding a new channel and this is the first comment :)
facts
This is insane
I know! I figured how the video was going they had a ton of subs then when I scrolled down to look I was like, uhhh wut?
Factd
I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark over 200 times. I used to belong to many fan pages, I know the extensive history of the series and it's filming , and have every single Hasbro toy ever made and many customs that weren't produced. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic film and my all-time favorite
U excited for the new indy hasbro figs?
@@ewitsisley8224 It honestly depends on what they do with Indy 5. I'll probably pick them up regardless, but I'm hesitant to get excited this go around.
@@BRockIITWi you ever get into Lego Indiana Jones?
Raiders is my favorite film of all time. The Indiana Jones character changed my life, literally. Because of the movie, I studied anthropology / archeology in college, traveled world-wide for 12 years compiling information & photos for a book on human ecology and have worn khaki and tan clothes since 1981. Sad but true .....
Not sad at all, brother. My fav film as well. I am a writer and currently shopping a sci fi series dealing with magical artifacts, my protagonist is an archaeologist, ancient civilizations. When execs ask what my inspiration was I always start off by saying I fell in love with Raiders of the Lost Ark. So believe me, you're not alone brother!
That's awesome
Sad? I’d live that life hhahah
What a ride! 🤘🏻
Nothing sad about it.
I never tire of raiders. It's pure brilliance from filmmakers at the peak of their powers. They never matched it. Indy is never as brutal and tough again as he is in this. It has grit, which seemed to vanish from later entries and movies of this type in general. Great video.
last crusade is the next best indy film and despite harrison being older its almost just as good as raiders, and the addition of sean connery really propels it further
For me Raiders of the Lost Ark is the most engaging, exciting and thoroughly entertaining film that has ever been made and a timeless classic that will never lose it's relevance. Steven Spielberg has made many magnificent films but Raiders is his crowning cinematic achievement, as far as i'm concerned. It's a truly exceptional film that i never tire of watching and i would even go so far as to say that the ever brilliant John Williams did his absolute finest work as a composer for the film. Raiders is undeniably a genuine masterpiece of filmmaking.
It does have it all. I’ve lost count as to how many times it’s been watched in our home. Some movies just never grow old.
Agreed. Unfortunately, each successive installment was more and more diluted. The character was never fully realized again following the original. Have to blame the writers and, sadly, the man himself -- Harrison Ford.
@@jamiejackson3903 Well, get ready and hold on to your hat for what they're about to do to the character in the upcoming movie...😂
@@jamiejackson3903
Well, very often, when filmmakers make a masterpiece, they can't remember exactly how they did it.
If that makes any sense.
@@danielasuncion9991 uuh what he means is... Spielberg and Lucas aren't involved in this one and Lucasfilm has changed since Indy 4... expect the usual woke blueprint where the 'toxic masculine protagonist' is gonna bumble around, so they can gender swap and the fedora has now a vagina (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and then they kill off the 'toxic masculine protagonist' or he becomes a depressed shell or if rumors are correct, they gonna time travel to erase his entire existence and pretend that Phoebe Waller-Bridge did all the trilogy stuff all along. Welcome to the woke blueprint of basically any story, any franchise.
This movie is one of my favorite examples of "making more with less". These days, if a studio has any faith whatsoever in a project, they'll give it an astronomical budget with nonstop CG effects that totally take you out of the experience. Movies used to be so much more immersive, and sadly I don't think they'll ever be that way again.
Why does quality well made content get overshadowed on TH-cam. :(
It’s a shame, yes. But diamonds are rare, are they not?
I’ve literally seen this movie well over 120x. I spent one summer vacation as a kid watching it every day. 3 months x 30 days = so at least 90 times before I was 12 years old. One of the top 10 movies of all time. Absolutely as close to perfect as any movie can get.
I've seen it that many times and hate it now.
I did the same lol
The editing was awesome and I found myself laughing and smiling a lot. Awesome job.
It wasn't Toht on the plane - just a separate German agent played by another actor.
Wasn't it ILM effects wizard Dennis muren?
@@chrisdew9449 The plane Nazi was Dennis Muren from ILM. Good call!
It was screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan.
@@plissken2156 It was Dennis Muren.
I can never forget Dennis Muren.
I was very busy at the time and my wife said we were going to the movies...I saw the title and thought it might be an action movie....what an understatement...it took me on a trip that I hadn't experience since the matinee serials...and then further. One of the best ever. Just when you thought it was over, it picked you up and away you went. Wow.
This is the best documentary about Raiders I’ve ever seen. I thought I had heard everything about this film but you surprised me with so much new trivia! Raiders and Harrison Ford inspired me to become an actor and filmmaker. The first film I made as a kid had fist fights and me dragging behind a moped with a bullwhip. Bravo again on your video!
I watched Raiders of The Lost Ark for the first time in June, just before I turned 30. Yeah, I've lost at least half of my life now not seeing it. It has become one of my favorite movies and to me it's the best of the franchise. Since then I've seen it about 6 times. I'm just in the addiction fase. Thanks for your review of this classic film!
Dude, you’re a 500K sub-worthy channel that almost nobody knows about. Your content is more or less the Lost Ark
it is so rude that i found out the beginning was filmed in kauai AFTER I HAD BEEN THERE
I mean raiders also inspired one of the greatest video game franchises ever that being Uncharted
You are criminally underrated. Every last one of your videos is produced with the level on-par with multi-million subscriber channels. I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel, can't wait for you to blow up, which you will.
My favorite film by miles and miles. I’ve seen it 60+ times. My two favorite scenes: the truck chase and the fight scene in Marion’s bar. My second film seen in the theater at the age of 9 (my first was The Empire Strikes Back).
Cara, aconteceu exatamente assim comigo, aqui no Brasil! Primeiro e segundo filmes! Fantástico! Amei the Empire e Adorei Raiders
My favorite movie of all time. I saw it in the theaters 8 times in 1981.
Only a millennial with zero respect for the past would say this movie loses relevance. Great movies NEVER LOSE RELEVANCE
Exactly. I don't see this film losing any relevance. Raiders is one of the most exciting film ever made.
Do you even know what a millennial is? I highly doubt there are many 30 something/40 year olds that haven't watched and rewatched this flick.
Are you kidding me,i'm from Gen z and still love this movie...I find myself enjoying 80s and 90s films more than most modern movies
I think you're misunderstanding what ages make up the millennial generation...
Some people are fast-food.
I’ve seen this movie a lot as well. The last Crusade is my favorite Indiana Jones movie, but this is a very close second! I love this movie!
Thinking about these two bros lounging around casually talking about whether or not to make these epic movies equally blows my mind and warms our heart. I can’t think of a world without the Indiana Jones series lol
I saw it in the theater when it was released. I had no idea what it was about. It is my favorite film of all time. I have seen it probably 50 times.
I was born in 74 and literally grew up with Star Wars, it was my life. I didn’t see Raiders until about 83 at my friends house on VHS. I still cannot believe that Lucas was involved in another movie as good as Star Wars, how can you be so good! If you add Jaws and ET into it, that Lucas/Spielberg period from 74 to 83 was golden.
14 times in the theaters back when it first came out. For some reason, my Dad and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was an every weekend thing for us. Since VHS, DVD, Blue Ray and now streaming, I’ve lost count. It’s in my top 5 for sure. 😎👍
I grew up watching Raiders so many times with my dad I don't even know how many times. I still love it so much to this day and never get tired of it.
I was 10 when Raiders hit theaters. My 8 year old sister somehow seen it before me, which annoyed me all the way into my 40s, already being a film fanatic. I’ve seen it probably into the triple digits…
Raiders of the Lost Ark was the entire reason I decided to become an Egyptologist. And I did. I have a Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago and have done 8 digs in Egypt and quite a few others in other locations throughout the world. Due to health issues, I had to reinvent myself, and then low and behold because a video game developer, owning my own video game studio. :)
Last week, 40 years later, I just thougt HOW DO THE GERMANS SEARCH THE ARK IN BRITISH OCCUPYED EGYPT????
It's now officially the 40th anniversary of this film and I just watched it for the first time, in theaters! It was brilliant and honestly happy I hadn't watched it until now because I got to experience it on a big screen. This was a great video to learn a lot about its inception, BTS details, and on-screen mishaps that made it into the film. It really is a masterpiece of a film and thanks for making proper breakdown of it all.
To this day, still the best 2 hours I've ever spent in a theater. ❤️
Raiders and the Last Crusade are some of my favorite movies of all time.
That's Denis Murin on the plane reading LIFE mag
2:33 You’re teasing me! Even that tiny snippet of the Ark theme that’s fully audible gives me chills.
Thank you for making this. There are so few videos about Raiders out there and this one is definitely at the top of the list in terms of both quality and content. Indiana Jones aside, I'm loving your video essays because you go into more detail and find deeper meaning than most other videos that I've seen. I really hope you continue this journey and keep up the great work.
Hot take but I think the last crusade is better than raiders.
And Doom is better than Crusade 😅
We all have our favourites.
Kåre Nielsen as long as you don’t think crystal skull is the best in the franchise your opinion is valid lol
@@lucasankeny6653 There are only three Indy movies... 😅👍🏻
Crystal Skull is better than all of them! Snake Rope? 3 water falls?? Ant bridge? Nuke Fridge???? Classics!!
In all honesty they were all grandfathers at this point and didn't want to make a gritty crystal skull movie in 2008.
@@mikerosoft1009 😅😅😅
This is one of the most underrated channel i have ever seen, so detailed, so dense with information, i will watch your career with great interest.
I subscribed to this channel upon watching this video. Definitely staying tuned here.
I have to point out that Spielberg chose the camera setups, directing them in the storyboard process, whereas Slocombe was photographically and technically responsible for executing the visual aesthetic.
Fabulous Douglas Slocombe
Quite honestly, my favourite film of all time. As someone into filmmaking, I can just telepathically sense the craftsmanship and dedication set into this film. I find it wonderfully crazy how a film inspired by old action serials has now inspired me and many others into making their own films.
I honestly believe every scene is insanely iconic, memorable and simply amazing.
@18:35 - "... maybe it can be said that the power of Raiders is Universal." No, it's Paramount! :)
Exactly what I was thinking. The way the narrator said it was like it was supposed to be a pun.
Actually the guy in the plane is not Toht, it's just a nazi spy. Great video btw!
One of the crew members
I think it's all the right things coming together at the right time and place. But personally I think it's about the mystery of the Ark itself. Still to this day it is out there somewhere. It's well documented and it was very real. Everything in the movie was based on some reality. No silly McGuffin like the stones in Doom. The Ark is real and the Nazis chasing religious artifacts was real. This is to me the heart of the film, "the one true Ark".
Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones to me. I see him in other films and I see Indy. Same with the US Office. I can't see John Krasinski as anyone but Jim in anything he does. It's not *their* fault. They just did too well for me in the first thing I saw them in.
The first time I saw this movie, I was absolutely blown away by the non-stop action... like legitimate edge of your seat action... it was so great, and I never saw it coming
Got here from just random nostalgia from my dad...
This is a love letter, quite beautiful actually, well made. He would have loved your analysis on this, a masterpiece of film, thank you!
Raiders was the best in the series because Indiana Jones was mortal. He got hurt and just barely survived each encounter. As the sequels progressed this was ignored and Indiana Jones became a super hero which is unfortunate. In addition, Indiana Jones is gritty. People sweat in the desert and in the jungle. On a indoor set they do not. If the characters never experience real danger or their experiences are predictable then the audience becomes detached with what they are going through. In other words it's more of a movie than an adventure. I hope the next Indiana Jones Movie looks back at what made it great instead of just trying to out do the previous sequel in terms of action or what is humanly possible.
*Four years after Star Wars (1977), a year after The Empire Strikes Back (1980), two years before Return of The Jedi (1983), and 16 years before Phantom Menace (1999)*
Sappy comment: but this is a movie that makes me proud to be an American.
When we were the Good Guys. Now, I'm sad.
Really enjoy how you talk about the movie. Obviously a true love for you. Great movie and indeed it embraces older cinema. I was born in '74 and seen it many times. These movies were such a huge part of our childhood because it has tons of fantasy, action, other cultures, humor, plot...and a lot of screen trickery without cgi. It was truly an art to make movies like that, even a child knew. Feel blessed to have been a kid back in those days. Very well done !
"Someone who they could root for, someone like -- "
*AAAAAAAAAH*
"Harrison Ford."
I’ve seen this movie well over 1000 times. I had seen it 36 times by the end of summer 1981. 😂
don’t forget back to the future shit is as fire
Raiders brings me into a different world. It excersizes all my fantasies and makes me feel like a kid again. My 75 year old grandpa feels like a kid again watching it, too.
The move is a great one I wanted to be an archaeologist for a long time after I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark I was wondering if if it it would be safe for me to be one. I decided to become a teacher
Crusade is my favorite but raiders is the best
2:14 the non-fans who don’t know it line by line must be so confused about this
I just seen last night. Brilliant! I was surprised how violent the violence as villains spit out blood as they died, dead guy impaled by spikes and death to Nazis by Ark of the Covenant and it didn't get an R rating. This and Temple of Doom was daring filming to genre Hollywood stopped doing since the in 1940s.
Commenting for the algorithm
Thank you brother 🙏
15:05 isn’t this special effects guru Dennis Muren doing a pick-up shot as Ronald Lacey wasn’t around? It’s Toht - but Dennis Muren instead. Are you sure? Pretty sure…
It's just a classic movie. One the best of I watch in my life. I'm a lucky guy who saw at theatre in 1981. I was twelve years old. And become fascinated. It's just awsome.
While for me, The Last Crusade is the superior Indiana Jones Film(its my favorite movie, period), it could never be that without its immaculate predecessor of Raiders of The Lost Ark.
Including vhs, DVD, streaming, blu ray, I have no exaggeration probably seen this movie a hundred times since childhood and I still get chills from the truck chase scene and score. It's my favorite movie of all time
"Either you wanted to f*ck Harrison Ford, or you wanted to be Harrison Ford"
Me, a bisexual man: Why not both?
Two thumbs up bud. Terrific analysis about one of the all time greats.
I feel that what made the first three movies great, the practical Effects and the dens atmosphere, lacks completely in the forth and I'm afraid will also lack in the fifth.
The reliance on cgi ruined Cristal skull.... it looks and feels artificial and for that you never feel the same as in the original trilogy
Spielberg's instincts are extraordinary... but then he second-guesses himself. After the debacle of "1941", Spielberg finest work - his least sappy and manipulatively sentimental - usually happens while executing "guerrilla filmmaking", where he doesn't have time to overthink and get in his own way.
He's done it several times, so it seems he understands how it brings something different out of him: does the expensive summer blockbuster, then that very same autumn releases a raw masterwork for adult audiences. Two examples:
Jurassic Park - Schindler's List
War Of The Worlds - Munich
This is a really well done video - it's both personal and technical which makes it that much more interesting for me. Nice that you're able to include audio and video from the production. (One note - when you say that Spielberg would go on to make Jurassic Park and Schindler's List 20 years later - it was just ten years. Raiders came out in 1981 and Jurassic and Schindler came out in 1993).
I think that the idea of faith and the unknown does play a massive role. Throughout the movie, Indy dismisses the Ark's powers as being nothing but superstition. And throughout the movie, while we get hints of fantastic elements, we don't get anything out and out supernatural, outside of the scene where the Ark burns the Swastika off of the box, until the ending, which is pretty damn mind-blowing. Pun intended for what happens to Belloq.
Of course this also brings to mind another theme, Nazis freaking suck, and God's going to smite you if you're evil.
I honestly feel like my life would be less than it is if I had never experienced this movie as a kid (and as an adult).
Oh to be old enough and fortunate enough to be a cinema goer in 1981 when movies like this were hitting the big screen for the first time.
The one movie in particular I would chose as a definitive textbook in filmmaking.
It was this movie that jump-started my passion for history... and why I want to get into Archeology later...
0:40.....he is a grave robber
EXACTLY
My dad introduced me these movies at very young age and I will forever be grateful for it
I ssw Raiders of the Lost Ark in the thester when I was 11 years old. For dome reason it was playing in the old theater of little downtown Hopkinsville Ky instead of the two screen theater at the mall. That was perfect though. It helped draw me in more. The theater was smaller. Built in the 1920's for stage production. It had balconies for special guest of the play house. Ornate wood work moldings everyplace. Heavy, giant red velvet curtains from roof to floor. It had been built for the love of theater and remodeled for the love of film instead of the clinical desire for money like the multiplex. The taste of the small batch popcorn, real butter was better. I rode my BMX bike from my house, locked it to the stare handrail of the Sheriff station next door. I heard a deep rough southern voice assure me it would still be there when I came out. I looked up to see a deputy standing tall with a cowboy hat, in his stiff starched tan uniform, badge glowing in the sun, outside on his smoke break. I walked away looking back at my bike again. He promised once more it wasn't going anyplace without me as he patted the gun on his waist. That environment by myself, no parents, drew me into the film. It was easy to imagine myself within the film. Afterward I rode home and took a cut through the old woods, around the abandoned saw mill, through the partially demolished hospital. The whole way I was imagining my bike was an airplane taking me on an adventure for some long lost artifact. All this helped that movie make a bigger impact than it could have in any other way.
Spy Smasher is great. You can watch it on TH-cam
Mediocre volume, mumble, mumble, mumble, Host voice almost oK as I can hear him.
I watched it every single time it came on HBO in the 80s. Just like Star Wars, ET and jaws. It was TV shows at the time that were one and done”s”
Last Crusade will always be my favorite Indy movie, but Raiders is a very close second.
No point watching it on Netflix. Better to buy the 4K Blu-Ray.
In my top 5 favorite films of all time! I've seen Raiders probably 100 times in my life and I never tire of it.
"Returns" artifacts to museums?
EDIT: I just remembered this was the internet so I gotta say I love this movie too. Before anyone replies with accusations of me being a virtue signaling culture warrior, I just thought it was funny that ArTorr said "returns" while Indy was clearly stealing a South American artifact. I know, I know, he was getting to it before Belloq could take it and hoc it to the Nazis or some drug lord trying to buy his way into being cultured or something. I mean, he could've alerted the authorities in that country so they could intercept Belloq and arrest him but...It's just a movie. Great video.
No, you make a really good point there. Raiders is a damn amazing film, but through glorifying Indy's tomb-raiding activities, it romanticizes a rather problematic system which legitimizes the theft of culturally valuable items from the people who own them under the "beneficent" eye of the museum. It's still one of the all-time great adventure films and I love it, but those are genuine problems.
@@iiiiitsmagreta1240 Thank you, Mattias. I recently watched it with my kids after not having watched since I was in my teens, some aspects were shocking as a socially conscious adult. On one hand, the film invests intelligence and sophistication into Arab characters with speaking roles, who help push the plot forward, but then the extras are just kinda goofy or are unquestionably in support of the American White man. When Indy, a foreigner, shoots a guy point blank in the market all the bystanders cheer and let him walk. Wouldn't some people in the crowd go, "Hey, that drunk White guy that's been running through the market and punching other White people in the face all morning, he just murdered a fellow citizen that was simply trying to stop him! Someone, get to a pay phone and call the police!"
And my daughter, who's only 12, pointed out that Indy is kind of almost a predator. She also pointed out the fact that Marianne is somewhat objectified. Not in anywhere the worst ways we've ever seen but she kissed a man on the cheek to thank him for rescuing her and he got all googley-eyed because a pretty White lady touched him in a quasi-sexual way. Not something my straight, male eyes ever noticed before. He did a song and dance down that dock!
I think almost everybody in the Netherlands has seen this trilogy at least 10 times. It was a classic staple on tv in the 90's around Christmas, you could bet that during the Christmas holiday you'd see the Princess Sissi musical, Home alone, Indiana Jones and multiple versions of a Christmas Carrol and the iconic 'Always Coca Cola' commercial they ran every year with that truck. Those were the days....
Awesome video. I agree with pretty much everything you say. Everyone on this film did their absolute best work. Kathleen Kennedy probably even made a decent cup of tea.
There are just a couple of minor errors.
The first scenes filmed on location were the U-boat and Bantu Wind scenes filmed in La Rochelle. Hawaii was filmed last.
The Nazi on the plane reading Time Life is not Toht and not meant to be Toht. It is actually Dennis Muren as a generic Nazi spy. It was probably a mistake to have them look so alike.
Awesome job
“How many times have you seen Raiders of the Lost Arc?” Good lord, there is no way I could count.
What an awesome video! “Raiders” is inimitable because everything the movie needs to do, it does. There’s nothing left on the table when it ends-a complete cinematic experience. I hope they never reboot the series. No contemporary actor has Ford’s charisma. His unique ability to strike the fine balance of badass and nerdy/comedic makes the character work. Please, Disney, let Indy belong to the ages after Indy 5.
Countless times I’ve seen it! The way it is shot…. Not just the action, but most every scene! I never noticed it until I was older, but most movies are so basic. This felt epic in almost every shot. Simple head turns and close ups are so memorable. These were producers and directors at the height of their powers.
it belongs in the cupboard
Movie turns 40 today!
Happy my dad recorded it on vhs
Still one of the greatest action-adventures of all time drawn from longtime serials and comic book adventures
This sealed Harrison Fords career after Star Wars and Karen Allen's
Marion
She is a badass love interest, she's got spunk and spirit not taking a backseat
Paul Freeman makes for a suave villain
One of Spielberg's and Lucas' best to this day with so many memorable scenes and quotable lines and won 5 Oscars, they made a homage to the stuff that grew up watching
I like the globetrotting locales, the biblical influence plot set in the 1930s against Naziism and the action with the swashbuckler feel
Nobody can beat John Williams' score
The attraction at MGM studios in Disneyworld was a lot of fun we saw it twice
The movie also inspired filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and Zack Snyder
The power of GOD is the power of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The spirit within the sand within the Ark that unleashed God's powerful wrath is the spirit that I think blessed the whole production. It's like God wanted His story told.
It's my all time favorite movie has been since I was 3 years old
And yet despite all of that..... The Last Crusade is better
Why does this have less than 100 likes with 1.7k subs to his channel
This may sound like a.. noob question: Why is it, that almost no Film critique Video mentions if or how many Academy Awards a movie won?
I mean I do understand that those Awards are not without critique themselves and you can feel that a movie that won 0 Awards is the best movie of all time,
but Raiders won a couple of them (I don't remember how many). So why is it that no one really mentions any "big awards won" and just states the numbers from the box-office or cinema (and sometimes only the us numbers even for movies from 2022 which is strange to me)
Great video man. You got me with the clone wars vids and now im looking foward to the next ones.
I saw it 6 times when I was 11 years old.... Had to beg Mom everytime for a ride.....Well worth it......The greatest adventure movie ever made.......... Probably seen it 100 times in my life.........The best ever.......
17:30 Raiders has no thematic brilliance?????
Of course it does.
Indy's whole character screams it.
Raiders was a B flick, but the thematic depth is absolutely there.
It's why it stands above it's sequels.
best movie ever made
20 bucks says it gets remade in my lifetime..
My favorite film of all time! I'd pay money for a video of my 10 year old face watching this spectacle.
Thank you for the review.
