The great thing about the opening sequence is that barely anything is said in it. Spielberg gives you information by showing what Indiana Jones does instead of dumping exposition on the audience, like modern movies tend to do.
One of a few movies from 81 that I can remember seeing at a theater. I was only 5, but I can't recall for certain anything before that. Of course, I was too young to understand anything outside of Sesame Street, but as a typical Gen X slacker, I grew up in front of a screen.
@@n0tk0sher That's the part that serves as the ONLY reason I know for sure I saw it in person. I was too young to understand any of it, but that was freaky. I don't think I was scared, but that's gotta be the most indelible moment to any kid who saw that for the first time. I also got to go to Temple Of Doom. I liked it more as a kid, but as an adult, the original is the best (as is usually the case).
@@nonplayerzealot4 I saw it with my dad. Afterward we stopped at a bowling alley to see my older brother and his friends. I vividly remember thinking about the end of this movie and being scared while watching the bowlers. Great memory though.
"The only thing in there was the 'presence of God' and God was like 'I'm gonna kill all you today!" was such a hilarious summation of the movie! Loved it, laughed out loud! Thank you!
FUN FACTS: The guy that played the monkey owner also played Barranca, the guy that tried to shoot Indy in the beginning of the movie. The woman that played the ghost at the end was none other than George Lucas' receptionist. Spielberg wanted more than just mannequins and puppets for the ghost scenes at the end so the production crew got Lucas' receptionist to play the part when you see her face change.
The scene where Indy shoots the man in black with the big sword, there was supposed to be a long sword fight sequence, but Harrison Ford was feeling sick that day and didn’t feel like doing the sword fight. The final result suits the character perfectly. The Fugitive with Harrison Ford is a great movie if you’ve never seen it.
Every single person who reacts to _Raiders_ has someone in the comments who makes this apocryphal comment. It must have something to do with grandiosity.
@@malcolmdrake6137 I am normally first in line to flag nonsense apocryphal movie trivia - "the actors in alien didn't know what was going to happen" etc - but this is a pretty widely and reliably reported story. Not sure why you flag it as apocryphal.
About the warehouse at the end. I'm sure it's fictional or urban legend, but there was a good TV sci-fi drama made about it called Warehouse 13. It ran from 2009-2014 on SyFy.
One of the Goat's!! My mom took me to see this on the big screen when it came out. She's passed on now so that is a treasured memory for me. The score, the action sequences, the cinematography, the practical effects...all still hold up well today. But back then this movie was new level. I'll never get tired if it, especially where Indy draws and shoots the swordsman out of sheer exasperation lol. Love it. That scene was improvised, btw. Harrison Ford said that he'd been sick all morning when they filmed it, and he did that out of sheer exasperation...that's why it was done so perfectly. Spielberg liked it so much that it made the final cut. Great reaction!
He had a falling out with Marion’s father 10 years ago. Indy, as a 24 year old graduate student had an affair with then 16 year olds Marion. After their 1st tryst, Indy said “see you tomorrow, Marion”. He was immediately afterwards confronted by her father, who put his ass on a plane and said never come back. 16 year old Marion was heartbroken. This is the 1st time she’s seen or heard from Indy since he seduced her, 10 years previously. Hence, “See you tomorrow, Indiana Jones!”
@@JustWasted3HoursHere George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. There have been interviews where they described talking about the reason Indy has not seen a woman in ten years that he was in a relationship with. They wanted the reason to be scandalous, so made Marian to be either fifteen or sixteen during their tryst.
Nice video. Being a Star Wars fan, you may find the story behind the creation of the Indiana Jones franchise interesting. The story goes that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg talked through the character when they ran into each other on a beach in Hawaii. They were both were hiding out, trying to reenergize their creativity. Spielberg had just released a WW2 comedy box office flop called 1941. I kind of liked it, but I must have been the only person in the country who did. George Lucas was preparing to premiere a film that he was sure would also be a bomb. It was called Star Wars. They began reminiscing about the adventure serials and they'd seen as kids. The rest is history. Also, Indiana was the name of George Lucas's boyhood dog, the same one that served as inspiration for Chewbacca.
Loved your reaction video! You can never go wrong with Spielberg, Lucas, Ford and John Williams. Can't wait for you to see the other Indiana Jones movies!
Fun Fact: The flying boat Indy takes to Nepal is a real aircraft. It can seen at a small aviation museum in Oakland, CA. I got to go on tour inside; its very beautiful.
I watched a movie not long ago called 'Secret Of The Incas' (made in 1954), and it's incredible how much was lifted out of that movie for Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
Supposedly, the way the idea for the movie came about was after George's success with Star Wars and Steven Spielberg's success with Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (and excellent sci-fi movie for people who don't generally go for that sort of thing), the two became friends and one day they were having lunch and talking about their next movies. George said he always liked the old "serial" adventures from his childhood and Steven said he had always wanted to make a movie where the main character gets chased by a giant boulder and so they hashed out the basic outline of such a movie during their dinner and the rest is history!
I'm happy that you finally got to see this movie, which is my favorite movie of all time. It's always great to see people reacting to it for the first time ( still hard for me to imagine ). This is the kind of movie you want to see more of, but then after seeing the sequels you realize they should have just it left alone. Just my personal opinion, folks.
Love you, Madison. You make such good reaction videos, imo. On behalf of one of us O.G. who "was there" when all these movies came out, I would love to re-watch this with every young person who takes the time to upload your experience like this. But I also have to wonder how history will reflect upon George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford in this amazing movie generations from now.
My dad took my sister and I to see it in 1981 and at first I didn't want to go because I thought it would be a Western which I did not have an appreciation for yet. We all loved it and saw it maybe 4 times. We even pretended to play some scenes and say the lines while walking through a trail that was like a jungle.
I live when the TH-cam algorithm brings me to a new reactor to subscribe to. I really liked this reaction. I’ll have to go through your movie reactions playlist.
OMG one of the greatest films ever made a true masterpiece very classic Raiders of the Lost Ark directed by Steven Spielberg screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman produced by Frank Marshall starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, John Rhys-Davies and music score by John Williams. Thank you Doing Talking great reaction and don't forget reacts Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and next year in 2022 the Untitled fifth Indiana Jones film😊😊
Nice reaction Madison! Lots of fun watching you watch this one! Thank you!! ... For you info, I have been waiting until you watched at least Indiana jones and the Last Crusade, in order to watch this reaction, so that now I can jump right into the next one! ;)
Great reaction Madison! FYI there is a funny song from the 1970's called "Spiders and Snakes" by Jim Stafford. Its about a teenager trying to impress a girl by giving her some snakes and other creepy crawlers and in one case, a frog. She replies that she "don't like spiders and snakes, but that ain't what it takes to love me, you fool, you fool! I don't like spiders and snakes, but that aint what it takes to love me, like I wanna be loved by you!" Also, in the 1970's there was a "B" horror movie called "Frogs" where all snakes, frogs, spiders, and lizards began attacking humans in retalation for all the polution the latter had been causing. The updated versions of these type of films are "Eight Legged Freaks", "Snakes On a Plane", "Kingdom of the Spiders", and "Arachnophobia". All titles which I'm sure will go immediately to the top of your "must see" list, or at least your bucket list. 😁😉
Great comfort! After you've done all 4 movies, add Munich (2005), to your list. It's a suspenseful spy thriller inspired by actual events. And Munich is another Spielberg gem. 💎
I actually have a costume with many of the pieces made by the same companies and/or people that made them for the original three movies. It was the first thing I started to research when first getting online in 1998. At that time, those people were still alive and working. Now, most, if not all have passed on. I remember talking to Richard Swales, who trimmed and shaped Harrison's hat for this movie, and ordering one from him. I still have all that stuff. It's weird how comparatively little I spent for it new, vs. what it all must be worth now. Needless to say, one of my favorite movies.
A few years after this, Ron Lacey, the guy who plays Major Toht, the scary Nazi with the burned hand and the coat hanger, played the clueless President of the United States in the science fiction deadpan romantic comedy The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension. You'd just never even think it was the same actor.
Marion: You're not the man I knew 10 years ago Indy: It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage Maybe the best response/quote of any action star, just from a relatable, human perspective. Sure, "Hasta La Vista, baby" is awesome, but seeing him so beat up after all that and STILL capable of doing more (after a little rest, of course), is a massively appealing quality
14:20, in this scene we see Indy at his one of his lowest points in the series. He thinks Marion is gone. In this moment he truly realizes what she means to him. So I don't blame him for wanting to go out with Belloq and the whole cafe.
22:56 - Notice the form-fitting slipcover on the Ark. That's some precision German engineering. And all made in just a couple days by some submariners. 25:40 - "There were so many of my phobias in this movie, especially spiders and snakes." Ah, a Jim Stafford gal, I see - th-cam.com/video/4vudA72hibg/w-d-xo.html
Probably Karen Allen's most famous role besides this one is in Animal House. I don't think I've seen anyone reacting to that on TH-cam, which is kind of surprising now that I think about it.
Many don't realize but in the scene where Marcus comes to Indy's house to tell him he's "got the job" we see Indy in his silk robe and t-shirt. What we also see, that many didn't notice is that Indy was already drinking champagne and there were TWO glasses on the table. One he gave to Marcus and the other for himself. As it turns out Indy was entertaining a female guest when Marcus showed up and she hid in another room. It turns out that that young guest was the girl in his class with the LOVE YOU on her eyelids. Indy was gonna get lucky until Marcus cock blocked him with a government job. lol
One of the best pulp series out there! Sadly, Marion will not reappear until the much maligned 4th movie. 😬 The next one, Temple of Doom, is a prequel, and the 3rd follows the 1st chronologically 🤯. Like a mini 'machete order' if you will. 🤣🤣🤣 Temple is my personal favorite, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Another one of my all time favorites! I was just a little boy when I saw this, ending terrified me but I still watch it! :) Have an awesome week Madison
3:34 We like tarantulas in Arizona, they kill scorpions. Anyone ever tell you that you look remarkably like a classic Hollywood star from the 1940's named Ida Lupino? She went on to direct movies & TV in the 1950s and 1960s as well. She directed "The Hitch Hiker" one of the most suspenseful films ever and also "The Bigamist" interesting love storiy/crime movie, both in 1953.
Really good reaction-review, but I was so disappointed that you left out one of my fave pieces in this, when Indy says "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go!" Such a great line!
Major Eaton, the mustached man at the beginning offering the adventure, is familiar to you, whether you know it or not. He played the ill-fated Jek Porkins, also known as Red 6 in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Also, Pat Roach, the unfortunate German who met the propeller in this movie, is in all three Indiana Jones movies, though this is his most noticeable appearance. He also played one of the Sherpas in the bar scene early on in the movie. His best and biggest role was in the movie Willow, also starring your fave, Val Kilmer. That one is an absolute must watch, if you haven't yet.
And the last scene of the crate being wheeled of to be stored with unknown thousands of other crates was part of the inspiration for the amazing TV show Warehouse 13, which is also worth watching. 🙂
"Raiders" was Alfred Molina's first major movie role. He's done much more interesting things than to be draped with Tarantulas.This salute to theatrical short cliffhanger movies of the 1940's has enough action for THREE movies.It enticed a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as Archeologists. An iconic movie franchise that continues to this day; much better than "another James Bond movie," eh? "Two-fisted Marion Ravenwood," cut from the same Khaki as "Warrant Officer Ripley," is/was a memorable character. 13:00 ALWAYS bring a frying pan to a knife fight,;)
I saw an advance preview, about a week before the film was set to open. The theater was packed, so the only available seat I could find....was at the far right end of the first row. My neck was sore for several days afterwards.
A great film. I always enjoyed going into the theater to watch the crowd reactions to certain scenes. That being said, I have never condoned the watching of movies on a laptop or computer. Big screen (tv) with surround sound and subwoofers can give similar theatrical experience, sometimes better. (the rolling of thunder in the background as Indy looks down into The Well of Souls is a good example) Still, glad you are doing this and I look forward to more. 🍿💕😊
Madison, you should check out the 1984 movie "Starman" w/ Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen (the woman in Ark). It's a good movie and it's right in any girl's wheelhouse insofar as romance, etc. It's a half-n-half guy/chick flick. Bridges gives one of his many great chameleon performances. Karen Allen was also in "Animal House" (1978). That should be mandatory for anyone college age or above, but you never know what the 20somethings have and haven't seen yet, but everyone likes that one. Impossible not to like.
That sand inside the Arc contained was possibly ORME. It has been suggested by some Anthropologists the Essenes used ORME in their religious rituals. ORME = Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements. It has been suggested by some Anthropologists that the Essenes used it in their religious rituals. ORME is a white powder consisting of highly precious element, such as gold, platinum, palladium, Ruthenium, Iridium etc...but in a white powder form. Pure Monatomic gold is supposed to have miraculous properties that can heal and displays characteristics that defy observable logic, according to John Hudson who was a cotton farmer and fell into a "rabbit hole", concerning his life story and ORME. It's quit a story if you ever do the research on him.
Highlight of your reaction was when you were just sat mouth agape watching those hilarious (to us, back then probably pretty amazing) effects of the heads melting :D
Down inthe tomb w/ all the snakes, Karen Allen wasn't screaming to the director's satisfaction, so he had someone throw a real live snake on her. I think that was the clip where she looks up slightly annoyed in the scene, but that's just a guess.

Just watched you review the Godfather, which is considered one of the best films of all time for obvious reasons. But this is my all time favorite film.
Love your reaction to One of the best movies in movie history in my opinion 👏 indy 2 is pretty good but indy 3 is right on par with 1 😊 you said how much you hate spiders and snakes / well jim stafford put a song out in the mid 70s called spiders and snakes you should listen to it it's a fun song👍
Here's a little fun fact for you since you're a Star Wars fan If you notice in the well of souls scene right before Indy and Sallah discover the ark There are hidden hieroglyphics of CP3PO and R2D2 It's very vague and you only can see it for like about a fraction of a second you'd have pause the movie at the right time to see it
What are your favourite Spielbergs? I really love Raiders and E.T. and I watch them both about twice a year. JAWS as well. Nothing beats old school Spielberg.
Hard to believe that Indy's shifty and unreliable helper (Alfred Molina) would go on many years later to play Spider-Man's foe "Doc Ock". Anyway, this movie is a perfect storm of the right actors, writers, director and special effects (that still hold up today). At first they were hesitant to use Harrison Ford because he was already well known as Han Solo, but after Tom Sellick couldn't do it (their second choice) due to his schedule for "Magnum P.I." they decided it would be okay. Good call, guys!
Madison, I enjoyed this reaction to another wonderful film! Have you watched the Abyss by James Cameron? That is one of my all time favorites. The directors cut is well worth the time to watch.
Hello new subber here and love your reactions to death. Keep up the awesome and amazing work. But if i may fill you in on something if you don't already know but when Indy was looking for mary in the basket you know that swordsman that was about a few meters from him, there was supposed to be a really cool fight scene but that day was one of the worst sick days Harrison Ford has ever had even to today and he just pulled out his pistol and shot him. That was not scripted, Harrison said in an interview I watched one time, he said i felt like i was on my death bed while trying to work and he says every time someone brings up that scene to him he says even til today that he doesn't remember doing that and LUCAS and SPIELBERG decided to keep it in cause they still laugh to this day about that scene.
You miss the point of the last scene. The Ark was taking steps to protect/hide itself. Recall the beginning of the movie, when the city of Tanis disappeared in a single night? What better way to hide something than pack it away in a huge warehouse and lose the paperwork?
the next is set before this one, not really a full on prequel. Like others, I like the third in the series most. Looks like you and Indy have a common fear.
You may want to check out another hidden gem called “Minority Report” with Tom Cruise and Collin Ferrell. Directed by the one and only Steven Spielberg. Amazing thriller/sci-If/mystery movie!!
"Indy shot first" haha. So both the swordsman and Greedo got a raw deal.
If you walk up to me pointing a gun and I manage to shoot you that sounds like a YOU PROBLEM.
That scene was improvised. Harrison Ford was sick with malaria (?) and not well enough for a sword fight.

The great thing about the opening sequence is that barely anything is said in it. Spielberg gives you information by showing what Indiana Jones does instead of dumping exposition on the audience, like modern movies tend to do.
Brilliant indeed,creates suspense and gets to the point while at it.
Opening sequence makes the movie what it is. Highly stylized, utterly dramatic. The rest is just filler and a let-down.
Your face during the Ark scene at the end was priceless. Lol
One of the greatest films ever made.

I am so happy to see someone really enjoying this. I have seen Raiders far too many times since 1981

You'd just never even think it was the same actor.
Marion: You're not the man I knew 10 years ago
Indy: It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage
Maybe the best response/quote of any action star, just from a relatable, human perspective. Sure, "Hasta La Vista, baby" is awesome, but seeing him so beat up after all that and STILL capable of doing more (after a little rest, of course), is a massively appealing quality
And the mileage line was ad libbed by Harrison Ford.
14:20, in this scene we see Indy at his one of his lowest points in the series. He thinks Marion is gone. In this moment he truly realizes what she means to him. So I don't blame him for wanting to go out with Belloq and the whole cafe.
Many of the action scenes are throwbacks to the action serials of the 40s and 50s which Spielberg grew up watching at movie matinees.
6:58 - That moment is even more clever than most people realize: "Eye" . . . love you. XD
22:56 - Notice the form-fitting slipcover on the Ark. That's some precision German engineering. And all made in just a couple days by some submariners.
25:40 - "There were so many of my phobias in this movie, especially spiders and snakes." Ah, a Jim Stafford gal, I see - th-cam.com/video/4vudA72hibg/w-d-xo.html
Yes Marion returns 🙂
Probably Karen Allen's most famous role besides this one is in Animal House. I don't think I've seen anyone reacting to that on TH-cam, which is kind of surprising now that I think about it.
12:22 - I didn't realize that Bradly Cooper was in this movie!
Many don't realize but in the scene where Marcus comes to Indy's house to tell him he's "got the job" we see Indy in his silk robe and t-shirt. What we also see, that many didn't notice is that Indy was already drinking champagne and there were TWO glasses on the table. One he gave to Marcus and the other for himself. As it turns out Indy was entertaining a female guest when Marcus showed up and she hid in another room. It turns out that that young guest was the girl in his class with the LOVE YOU on her eyelids. Indy was gonna get lucky until Marcus cock blocked him with a government job. lol
1000th like. I've watched a few youtubers react to this movie and the opening of the ark scene never fails to impress.
It must be said that John Williams was at the top of his game at this time. His musical genius elevated good movies to epic greatness.
One of the best pulp series out there! Sadly, Marion will not reappear until the much maligned 4th movie. 😬 The next one, Temple of Doom, is a prequel, and the 3rd follows the 1st chronologically 🤯. Like a mini 'machete order' if you will. 🤣🤣🤣
Temple is my personal favorite, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Two hidden gems you will like "Snow Cake" with Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. "Something the Lord Made" with Mos Def and Alan RIckman.
Another one of my all time favorites! I was just a little boy when I saw this, ending terrified me but I still watch it! :)
Have an awesome week Madison
Awesome commentary and reactions; keep up the great work. Look forward to watching more of your commentaries
Could you do a review of the Abyss; Thank you for the like
Video: “That monkey is a traitor”,”That monkey is a villain”, “I hate that monkey”
Everyone: errrrr...I wouldn’t worry about it.
3:34 We like tarantulas in Arizona, they kill scorpions. Anyone ever tell you that you look remarkably like a classic Hollywood star from the 1940's named Ida Lupino? She went on to direct movies & TV in the 1950s and 1960s as well. She directed "The Hitch Hiker" one of the most suspenseful films ever and also "The Bigamist" interesting love storiy/crime movie, both in 1953.
Really good reaction-review, but I was so disappointed that you left out one of my fave pieces in this, when Indy says "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go!" Such a great line!
Great work. Thanks for sharing. Saw this in the theater. It set the standard for action films.
Enjoyed your reaction. Thankyou.
Good to watch that with you :) Solid! ^_^
Outstanding reaction to this movie. You pay attention to so much in terms of writing.
Major Eaton, the mustached man at the beginning offering the adventure, is familiar to you, whether you know it or not. He played the ill-fated Jek Porkins, also known as Red 6 in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Also, Pat Roach, the unfortunate German who met the propeller in this movie, is in all three Indiana Jones movies, though this is his most noticeable appearance. He also played one of the Sherpas in the bar scene early on in the movie. His best and biggest role was in the movie Willow, also starring your fave, Val Kilmer. That one is an absolute must watch, if you haven't yet.
And the last scene of the crate being wheeled of to be stored with unknown thousands of other crates was part of the inspiration for the amazing TV show Warehouse 13, which is also worth watching. 🙂
"Raiders" was Alfred Molina's first major movie role. He's done much more interesting things than to be draped with Tarantulas.This salute to theatrical short cliffhanger movies of the 1940's has enough action for THREE movies.It enticed a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as Archeologists. An iconic movie franchise that continues to this day; much better than "another James Bond movie," eh? "Two-fisted Marion Ravenwood," cut from the same Khaki as "Warrant Officer Ripley," is/was a memorable character. 13:00 ALWAYS bring a frying pan to a knife fight,;)
I read somewhere that Molina has a real phobia of spiders; his reaction during the tarantula scene was genuine.
Loved your reaction! Looking forward to seeing more!
I saw an advance preview, about a week before the film was set to open. The theater was packed, so the only available seat I could find....was at the far right end of the first row. My neck was sore for several days afterwards.
A great film. I always enjoyed going into the theater to watch the crowd reactions to certain scenes.
That being said, I have never condoned the watching of movies on a laptop or computer. Big screen (tv) with surround sound and subwoofers can give similar theatrical experience, sometimes better. (the rolling of thunder in the background as Indy looks down into The Well of Souls is a good example)
Still, glad you are doing this and I look forward to more.
🍿💕😊
Madison, you should check out the 1984 movie "Starman" w/ Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen (the woman in Ark). It's a good movie and it's right in any girl's wheelhouse insofar as romance, etc. It's a half-n-half guy/chick flick. Bridges gives one of his many great chameleon performances. Karen Allen was also in "Animal House" (1978). That should be mandatory for anyone college age or above, but you never know what the 20somethings have and haven't seen yet, but everyone likes that one. Impossible not to like.
That sand inside the Arc contained was possibly ORME. It has been suggested by some Anthropologists the Essenes used ORME in their religious rituals. ORME = Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements. It has been suggested by some Anthropologists that the Essenes used it in their religious rituals.
ORME is a white powder consisting of highly precious element, such as gold, platinum, palladium, Ruthenium, Iridium etc...but in a white powder form. Pure Monatomic gold is supposed to have miraculous properties that can heal and displays characteristics that defy observable logic, according to John Hudson who was a cotton farmer and fell into a "rabbit hole", concerning his life story and ORME. It's quit a story if you ever do the research on him.
Highlight of your reaction was when you were just sat mouth agape watching those hilarious (to us, back then probably pretty amazing) effects of the heads melting :D
Down inthe tomb w/ all the snakes, Karen Allen wasn't screaming to the director's satisfaction, so he had someone throw a real live snake on her. I think that was the clip where she looks up slightly annoyed in the scene, but that's just a guess.
Been enjoying the Movie Fridays. Guess I need to scrape some coin together to catch your Bad Batch watch a longs.
No need to spend any coin😉 I’ve decided to react to Bad Batch season 2 here on the channel.

Just watched you review the Godfather, which is considered one of the best films of all time for obvious reasons. But this is my all time favorite film.
Their partner in Egypt is Gimli, son of Gloin, btw. -(8[]
So glad you enjoyed the movie !!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀
Love your reaction to One of the best movies in movie history in my opinion 👏 indy 2 is pretty good but indy 3 is right on par with 1 😊 you said how much you hate spiders and snakes / well jim stafford put a song out in the mid 70s called spiders and snakes you should listen to it it's a fun song👍
Love your reaction videos. Glad I subscribed
Yes, Mariam is a wonderful character. And YES she returns in a future Indiana Jones! So that means you must watch the rest of the films. :)
*Marion
Watch Starman, she's in it with Jeff Bridges.
Here's a little fun fact for you since you're a Star Wars fan If you notice in the well of souls scene right before Indy and Sallah discover the ark There are hidden hieroglyphics of CP3PO and R2D2 It's very vague and you only can see it for like about a fraction of a second you'd have pause the movie at the right time to see it
What are your favourite Spielbergs? I really love Raiders and E.T. and I watch them both about twice a year. JAWS as well. Nothing beats old school Spielberg.
Hard to believe that Indy's shifty and unreliable helper (Alfred Molina) would go on many years later to play Spider-Man's foe "Doc Ock". Anyway, this movie is a perfect storm of the right actors, writers, director and special effects (that still hold up today). At first they were hesitant to use Harrison Ford because he was already well known as Han Solo, but after Tom Sellick couldn't do it (their second choice) due to his schedule for "Magnum P.I." they decided it would be okay. Good call, guys!
You can switch between popular and not so popular movies weekly if you want. Because on polls, the popular movies always win :D
Madison, I enjoyed this reaction to another wonderful film! Have you watched the Abyss by James Cameron? That is one of my all time favorites. The directors cut is well worth the time to watch.
This movie was made in the style of the 1940's Saturday Matinee.
In the scene where Indy and Marion were trapped after getting the ark, most of the creatures there were not technically snakes.
Wonderful reaction and review! Take care and God bless. 👍
Ah yes, other reactors find spiders to be the worst but I'd agree on a phobia of snakes :)
Hello new subber here and love your reactions to death. Keep up the awesome and amazing work. But if i may fill you in on something if you don't already know but when Indy was looking for mary in the basket you know that swordsman that was about a few meters from him, there was supposed to be a really cool fight scene but that day was one of the worst sick days Harrison Ford has ever had even to today and he just pulled out his pistol and shot him. That was not scripted, Harrison said in an interview I watched one time, he said i felt like i was on my death bed while trying to work and he says every time someone brings up that scene to him he says even til today that he doesn't remember doing that and LUCAS and SPIELBERG decided to keep it in cause they still laugh to this day about that scene.
You miss the point of the last scene. The Ark was taking steps to protect/hide itself. Recall the beginning of the movie, when the city of Tanis disappeared in a single night? What better way to hide something than pack it away in a huge warehouse and lose the paperwork?
Just found your channel. Liked and subscribed!
Great reaction. If you're a fan of Harrison Ford you should also watch him in "Witness" as a Philly cop hiding out from corrupt cops in Amish country.
the next is set before this one, not really a full on prequel. Like others, I like the third in the series most. Looks like you and Indy have a common fear.
I forget who sings it, but there's a country song titled I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes. It suits you, eh?
Please react to "The Big Lebowski". A quirky hilarious masterpiece.
Yeah loved her she's soooo chaotic neutral fits her well 😜
Great reaction
Check out the movie The Goonies(1985).
When they opened the Ark, you didn't look, did you?!! :)
Kingdom of the crystal skull
You may want to check out another hidden gem called “Minority Report” with Tom Cruise and Collin Ferrell. Directed by the one and only Steven Spielberg. Amazing thriller/sci-If/mystery movie!!
At 6:40 . . . . So , not good with spiders or snakes ,
Well now , this is going to be G O O D !
please react to the classic 1985 *Young Sherlock Homes*
