INDIANA JONES & RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 28:27
INDIANA JONES & RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK MOVIE REVIEW | 28:28 - 31:20
Indiana Jones & Raiders Of The Lost Ark Movie Description:
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a 1981 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. It stars Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, John Rhys-Davies, and Denholm Elliott. Ford portrays Indiana Jones, a globe-trotting archaeologist vying with Nazi German forces in 1936 to recover the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, a relic said to make an army invincible. Teaming up with his tough former lover Marion Ravenwood (Allen), Jones races to stop rival archaeologist Dr. René Belloq (Freeman) from guiding the Nazis to the Ark and its power.
Lucas conceived Raiders of the Lost Ark in the early 1970s. Seeking to modernize the serial films of the early 20th-century, he developed the idea further with Kaufman, who suggested the Ark as the film's goal. Lucas eventually focused on developing his 1977 space opera Star Wars. Development on Raiders of the Lost Ark resumed that year when he shared the idea with Spielberg, who joined the project several months later. While the pair had ideas for set pieces and stunts for the film, they hired Kasdan to fill in the narrative gaps between them. Principal photography began in June 1980 on a $20 million budget and concluded the following September. Filming took place on sets at Elstree Studios, England, and on location mainly in La Rochelle, France, Tunisia, and Hawaii.
Though prerelease polling showed little audience interest in the film, especially compared to the superhero film Superman II, Raiders of the Lost Ark became the highest-grossing film of 1981, earning approximately $330.5 million worldwide, and played in some theaters for over a year. It was a critical success, receiving praise for its modern take on the serial film, its non-stop action and adventure, and the cast, particularly Ford, Allen, and Freeman. The film was nominated for several awards and, among others, won five Academy Awards, seven Saturn Awards, and one BAFTA.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and has had a lasting impact on popular culture, spawning a host of imitators across several media, and inspired other filmmakers. The United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1999. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the first entry in what would become the Indiana Jones franchise, which includes three more films-Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)-a television series, video games, comic books, novels, theme park attractions, toys, and an amateur remake. A fifth film is scheduled for release in 2022.

This Is Literally One Of The Greatest Movies I've Ever Seen! THIS MOVIE IS A RARE OCCURRENCE OF A PERFECT FILM.
Please Share And Like The Video...
It's un-American to be an adult that's never seen this. 🤣
Of course you loved this movie!
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is an example of a damn near perfect and universally loved movie. Other great examples of this are 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Unforgiven'. All three of these movies have the very best Heroes, the very worst Villains and the classic and universal tale of Good vs Evil and Justice in the end. These movies speak to the very soul of Humanity.
RIP to the little monkey, as a little kid watching this, it really got to me.
That last scene is a real warehouse that house every type of rock / stone samples to be found in the UK, Jeremy Clarkson mentioned it on one of his shows. FYI the warehouse is enormous just like my, sorry your fanbasr
It took you this how long to watch the best old movie ever ?
Honestly that coat hanger is the perfect scene to encapsulate this movie. menacing, with a hint of mystery, and a ton of humour.
Spielberg tried to use the coat hanger joke until it worked. He tried it in 1941 but cut it out of the movie. But it made it into Raiders. And it was a fun moment
Excellent thought!
I love that scene. Toht was awesome. I felt bad for him at the end.
As the Cinema Therapy guys said recently: "Back when we were kids, Indiana Jones was Marvel"
Actually a better equivalent would be the Star Trek movies and shows.
Indiana Jones > Marvel
Can we stop comparing everything to marvel.
"THIS IS WHAT WE GO TO THE MOVIES FOR!" Siskel and Ebert in their review of "Raiders".
And all in glorious anamorphic panavision :)
Who could possibly be watching this gem in this day and age?
"TOP. MEN."
It's a cult classic.
Yikes!
...Yes.
😶
Who?
If I could give you more than 1 like I would :)
It's amazing that Alfred Molina was in this film 40 years ago and he'll be playing Doc Ock again in 2021, not many older actors still get to play in action movies.
So that was really Alfred Molina?! Damn!!!!!!!
Props to the stunt team on this movie. They had to actually do this.
Can't remember the guy who stunt doubled Harrison Ford but he is known as 1 the greatest Hollywood stuntmen ever.
RiP to all the stuntmen who died opening the Ark of the Covenant!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@mitchclement3773 Vic Armstrong, he and Harrison Ford could have been brothers they looked almost alike.
Vic Armstrong baby! Still in the business today! He looked remarkably like Harrison back around these times, and even praised how great at doing some of his own stunts Harrison is.
And Ford made sure the stuntmen were given credit. One time Letterman tried to make it sound like it was Ford doing most of those stunts and Ford put a halt to that right away. Most actors will give the answer 'I did most of my own stunts'.
The beginning sequence is probably the most legendary opening ever. I cannot think of a better opener to a movie. It's so beautiful.
Spielberg loved the James Bond pre-title scenes ... this was his version. He did it beautifully.
It's so spooky, the way the characters are mostly in shadow, with just hints of backlight gleaming in from the sun...until Indiana Jones steps fully into the light!
That music in the opening
This movie blends history, action, seriousness, mystery, and comedy together perfectly.
The stunts are amazing, the plot is amazing, all the characters and actors are amazing, the soundtrack is amazing.
This is one of the few movies there's really nothing bad to say about it.
The only bad thing you can say about it is that they didn't know when to stop with the sequels.
@@88wildcat The second and third ones were ok. I have not seen the 4th one.
@@Jiji-the-cat5425 They should have stopped after the third one. The fourth one is terrible.
For real, although I didn’t know the Germans were in Egypt at this point? Maybe they were, but it was probably just added for the plot which is totally fine of course.
@@itmejac6945 I've always wondered that too. I did a little research. The N*zi's (mainly Himmler) were into this stuff, mostly just for propaganda though. Apparently they had interest in the Ark of the Covenant. And I think they did send archaeologists. I don't think they really sent the army and trucks and airplanes, I don't think they would've really gotten away with it, but it's still makes for a cool story.
I loved when the children surround Indy to protect him. Every person in the audience feels the same as the children. Indy is our champion.
The "subleties" in the music are I believe called "Leitmotifs," or leading motifs. They are musical cues associated with various plot elements, characters, etc. John Williams utiliized this technique, though it is very old. Wagner is the composer who is most associated with it.
I'll never forget the pop from the audience when Indy shoots the dude with the sword. Seeing this in the theater on first release was right up there with Star Wars for best audience reaction.
One of the most iconic movie score pieces; "The Raiders March" (the main title theme). John Williams is legendary with his movie scores.
The greatest action movie of the 80’s and possibly ever.
It’s my favorite movie
I vote “ever.” It’s the pinnacle.
It is fantastic, but in the 80's it also is up against Aliens, Top Gun, Predator, and several other phenomenal action movie contenders.
It's a great movie but I prefer Indiana Jones 2 and 3
Lies, Last Crusade
Fun fact: In "Return of the King", when Pippin pilfers the Palantir (seeing stone) from Gandalf while he's sleeping, the trick of replacing the stone with a pitcher to fool the wizard was Billy Boyd's tribute to the scene at the beginning of Raiders where Indy slips the bag of sand onto the spot where the gold idol is. :D
Please react to all three of "The Lord of the Rings" movies.
Fun Fact: In the book Pippin replaces the Palantir with a rock. So is it really a tribute to Raiders?
How is Indiana Jones dumb enough to think he can replaced a lump of gold the size of a football with a bag of sand half its size. Gold is heavy
I bet you'll love the third one. "The Last Crusade." It's got Sean Connery in it as well
Best Indy Film in my opinion.

RIP River
My father was born in the 30’s and he said this movie reminded him of some of the short films he grew up watching at his local movie house. Very nostalgic feel for his generation. I can relate a bit, since I love old films and this has that feel, even though it was a new production when I was young. So many of us experienced the same joy as you in seeing this for the first time or in my case even the 20th time.
"We own all 3."
You just made a pile of new fans. There is no 4th one
Agreed, just stick with the three and leave it at that
Three films and a prequel tv show, that's it.
The fourth isn't necessary and it's not a good Indiana Jones movie when compared to the other ones but I personally think it's far from being as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
@@LiTTleGaBi21 He survives a nuke by crawling into a refrigerator. That sentence alone explains the wretched decay in story-telling of 'modern' movies.
Need the 4th; the soviets are involved; and; could the 4th; in style; blend in with all three. I want Mellverse’s opinion on this.
“Raiders of the Lost Ark” was always such a pleasure to watch. The effects that went into this movie are so fantastic, and everything from the actors, to the locations, to the soundtrack, to Spielberg’s directing have really made this movie something special for us all!
As someone who watched this movie as a kid, I can confirm. That scene with all the dead bodies and the snake slithering out of that one dude's mouth did absolutely terrify young me. I believe I had nightmares about it for days afterwards.
Yep. 12 year old me was freaked by the snake in the mouth.
One of my favorite movies ever. I was 8 when it came out and I LOVED IT. The best thing about this movie is how FUN and FUNNY it is. There are legit belly laughs to be had, and it is constant entertainment at a master level. Just imagine: Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980, and Raiders in 1981. Harrison Ford was on top of the world.
When I saw it in 1981, this movie was already presented as a "classic". I remember the tag-line on the poster : " Directed by the director of "JAWS" and Produced by the director of "STAR WARS" ". I didn't need to know more for running to watch it ! 😎
The 70s and 80s were Spielberg at his most energetic and radical. He experimented so much whether Duel, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, all masterpieces.
Also ET!
Duel is the most underrated Spielberg film
Mell: "You dirty for that, Dr. Octopus."
Mell to this day, that is my favorite line you have said on your show!!! :) Bravo!!
21:32 Yep - Marion was a total badass! Lots of us girls wanted to be Marion Ravenwood back in the day.
Dang, I wanna be her NOW. She's the best.
Apparently the original script called for Marion to seduce Belloq. Karen Allen went to Spielberg and said, "Nuh-uh." Instead she and Paul Freeman came up with her trying to drink him under the table instead. It made for a nice callback to her first scene, while preserving her strength and independence, and preventing her from being reduced to a complete damsel or sex object.
It's no coincidence that Marion is the most popular and enduring of Indy's love interests. Yes, she's beautiful, but she's also tough, smart, resourceful, and more than capable of keeping pace with Indy on her own.
Speaking as a guy, the 80s were LOADED with great female characters. Leia, Ripley, (yes, I know, they debuted in the 70s) Sarah Conner, Marion. Movies today could learn a thing or two.
@@Ambaryerno Perfectly said
Until Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver's respective characters Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley came to save the day in both the Alien and the Terminator Franchises.
The shooting of the swordsman was impro. Originally it was supposed to have been an elaborate fight scene but on the day of filming, Harrison and the film crew were so ill with a stomach bug they couldn’t film for long. Hence the birth of a great comedy scene.
Indy offering her $3,000 for a 'worthless brass medallion'. I don't think so. $3,000 in 1936 is equivlent in 2021 to over $57,000!
It was money the government was authorizing him to promise her, don’t forget.
@@namelessjedi2242 I think what he's pointing out is that the line "Worthless brass medallion" is innacurate to the price Indiana offers.
Worthless to her, though he obviously wasn't counting sentimental value. Though offering her that much probably was. But he's basically saying it's worthless because she needs the money way more than she needs the medallion.
“So excited to watch the other two.”
I see what you did there.
What we all do😁
Win
When you watch Temple of Doom pay attention to the name of the night club. It’s called Club Obi Wan a plain Star Wars reference. And the guy at the airport that got them on the plane is the legend Dan Aykroyd.
Also the Nazi peering over the newspaper on the plane is special effects master himself Dennis Muren.
Something I like about Steven Spielberg is that his storytelling sense is much more visual than a lot of directors. Although his films aren’t silent, they seem to communicate so much information and emotion visually the same way silent films do.
I've noticed that too. He really uses visuals to his advantage.
The original script called for a 3 page fight with the big "Swordguy".
The entire crew was stricken with dysentary and someone said, "Just shoot him already!" Because there was no way that they would be able to film the intricate fight scene with everyone sick.
Also, Spielberg was trying to capture the feeling of the old-time radio serial dramas, before TV was a thing.
Harrison Ford and some of the other crew got food poisoning so Ford all sweaty and close to death to make the scene shorter asks, “I have a gun, why don’t I just shoot the bastard?”
Pretty sure it was Ford who came up with the idea to just shoot the sucker.
That dude's voice you love is Gimli from Lord of the Rings 😀
This movie is a perfect example to show to people as a way of demonstrating the genius that went into LotR's trickery in making you believe the Dwarves and Hobbits were actually that tiny.
I love John Rhys Davies.
He returns in #3
Literally one of the first "real people" movies I remember watching.
Not to mention this was written & conceived by George Lucas, as a backup plan if Star Wars bombed... Glad you loved it!!!
It was never a backup..... star wars 4 came out already and Steven saw the success and wanted his own franchise and wanted to do Bond but George recommended Indy and the rest is FACT AND TRUTH AND HISTORY !!!!!!!
@@SB992REBORN they ended up working on this before Jedi because the Academy didn't like George and threatened to pull his movies if he didn't do things their way (one big criticism they had was there were no opening credits).
@@ShaDHP23fuck opening credits, all my homies hate opening credits.
Can confirm, I appreciated this A LOT when I saw it as a kid in the 80's and it was hugely influential (though I had to close my eyes at some points) but as an adult I keep finding more things to appreciate, such as the beautiful shots, and as a bonus watching it makes me feel young every time.
"He must know the hidden meaning of that statue right there," yeah if I am ever with a local in ANY part of the world and they just drop their stuff, start screaming, and run the other way I will be following RIGHT BEHIND THEM. Probably screaming too, you know, just to be safe.
Yeah but think about the kickass story you’ll be able to tell God about how you died.
@@fun_police8011 I think he would probably already know, he's a pretty smart guy from what I hear.
Glad to see such a geniune, fun reaction. Your love for these movies shines through every fime. Great work brother 💯💯
I don’t know if you know the actor with spiders on his back is Alfred Molina who played Doc Oct in spiderman 2
I would say he probably knows...considering he called him Dr. Octopus.
@@wfly81 and he got it on with Natasha Henstridge in "Species" ;-)
Some today would call Molina’s brief role here “brownface” and probably cancel everyone involved with this movie unless they turned around and bent over for a fuc-I mean, an apology.
@@Wired4Life2 Actually, you're the only one who brought it up....
@@christiaanvandenakker901 Double standards, I guess.

Marion and Leia were my first movie crushes. And Indy is the O.G. John McClane
And John McClane is the OG John Wick
Karen Allen is still a huge crush of mine x3 She was also amazing in "animal house".
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 and Star Man
@@73uproc YES!!! :D And of course "Scrooged" and "The Sandlot".
I love when they do the close ups on Harrison Ford's face. Always such epic scenes. Harrison Ford is freaking awesome in everything.
You're killing me with that intro. 😂😂😂
"This movie really feels like a modern film."
I was watching some classic movies from the 40s, 50s, and even 60s this last week, and I think you're right: good movies, no matter what the trapping of the era, feel CURRENT, in terms of what they do. Sunset Boulevard still feels real, despite being set in the early hollywood era.
Also, fun fact: Sallah is played by John Rhys Davies, who also played Gimli in Lord of the Rings.
That's so true about Sunset Boulevard. It feels really modern and smart and forceful. Totally timeless.
He also played the Kingpin in The Trial of the Hulk TV movie. It even had Daredevil.
He was also in Sliders.
@@michaelwardle7633 Holy crap, I totally forgot about him in Sliders!
Your grade for this film is accurate. Really enjoyed this reaction to one the best movies ever made. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This film is truly what I would consider a perfect film. A true masterpiece
To this day, Raiders of the Lost Ark remains my all time favorite action/ adventure film. I saw this when I was 7 years old in theaters and have been a huge fan ever since. Nothing beats the theater experience so if you get a chance to see it on the big screen please do so immediately!
Oh by the way. The part where Indy tells Marion to close her eyes and not look at it, no matter what happens, is based on the warning by the wise man who talks about the warning that nobody shall touch the ark. Remember, nobody touches the Ark as they take it out of the Well of Souls. They use these carrying sticks / rods. Not just because it makes it easier to lift it out but also because this way you don't actually touch it. And the other warning was that everyone who looks at the opened Ark dies. However these detailed warnings were removed from the Final Cut sadly so this is why you're left a little confused why Indy knows what to do. The warnings are based on the references in the Bible. In the King James version it goes like this:
- 1 Samuel 6:19:
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men...
- 2 Samuel 6:6-7
And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
This is also why the ones who carry the Ark in the drawing Indy shows at the beginning of the Movie, shows the Ark carriers all wearing face-covering masks.
Must have watched this like 300 times when I was a kid. Indeed one of the greatest action adventure movies ever made.
This movie is one of the all-time greatest films. They should have stopped after the third one.
@@Jason_Van_Stone Yeah. And 5 isn't looking good.
The fourth one could have been better if they had stuck to more real stunts and less green screen. A studio is no substitute for a location.
They could have stopped after the first one as far as I’m concerned. I’ve seen this one 50 times, haven’t seen the others more than once each.
@@vinnygi The first is definitely the best. The rest are missing the rawness of Raiders. At times, they lapse into self-parody.
@@johnsensebe3153 Remove the monkeys, the fridge, and the CGI aliens and KotCS had potential.
"Oh, my God!"
yes, exactly!
"That's exactly what the Hebrews thought..."
the 80s was the golden age for action adventure films, change my mind.
It was the golden age of movies in general. There's just so many movies from the 80's that are timeless.
The 80s move scene was so awsome it had to start in 1976, and didnt end until 1994.
Action Adventure, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thriller, Horror.... it was the goddamn BEST Decade for Cinema ever!!! The 90s were fun too but you could see things began to become a lot more tame and "PG".
Oh hell yes, when you get hyped it gets me hyped too! Raiders is the perfect piece of cinema entertainment, and everyone involved was at the absolute top of their game - directing, producing, acting, music, design, photography, stunts (so glad you called all those out!)... and the story of its making is legendary too!
George Lucas came up with the basic idea and developed it with another filmmaker, but shelved it for a while to Star Wars. When he and Spielberg went to Hawaii on holiday together (just after Star Wars was released), Spielberg mentioned that he wanted to do a James Bond movie, and Lucas said that he had something way better. He told him the story and Spielberg agreed then and there to direct it. However, no studio wanted to back it because even with Lucas and Spielberg attached, they didn't think that the movie could be made for the budget they were asking for. Eventually Paramount said okay, but the production was still viewed as being very risky.
Part of the was because Spielberg's last three films (Jaws, Close Encounters and 1941) had gone way over schedule and budget. With the first two it didn't matter because they became two of the most successful movies ever, but 1941 wasn't well received and he was getting a negative reputation as being an irresponsible filmmaker. Lucas saw the production as being quick and dirty, no frills, and Spielberg - anxious to prove that he could do it - agreed... and brought the film in on time and underbudget. Indeed, production moved so quickly that the while fight scene with the plane was basically made up in the spot and filmed in a couple of days!
Absolutely the pinnacle of inspired filmmaking.
Just FYI.. the next Indy movie "Temple Of Doom" is a prequel to this one.
Great movie
@@oaf-77 If you enjoy hearing a woman screaming non-stop, sure. (everything else is great, of course)
@@rafetizer she was only in it, because she was banging Spielberg.
@@rafetizer that woman who was screaming is married to Steven Spielberg
Temple of Doom is my personal childhood favorite. Last Crusade though is probably the best of the 3 indy movies.
Mel's Mom: "How did you never see these movies?!"
Mel: "Woman, you never sat down and SHOWED THEM TO ME!"
Mel's Mom:
i can see it being like that. lol
I'm all ready to not make a mistake like that. Got about 130 movies ranging from The Wizard of Oz to Endgame ready to go.
I truly love the Indiana Jones movies not just for the adventure, but it helped my dad not drink so much. Movies helped him be sober for a while.
11:08 "This looks like a show!"
Ironically, it very much is a show at Disney World. Or at least it was when I used to go there, idk if it's still active. They would have stunt actors come out and do some iconic scenes on a huge set for an audience, including the intro heist scene(of course), the helicopter fight, and yeah this village showdown. They would even ask for volunteers from the audience for some parts, it was a lot of fun.
Yup saw it every time I was at Disney World. I think my favorite line was an 'interview' after they recreated the opening scene "What was the hardest stunt of that sequence?" And the stuntman look through all of the stunts and then says, "Keeping my hat on"
The Indiana Jones Stunt show was still there when I went! (October, 2017)
@@firekrys The stunt actors there always seemed super laid back and lots fun lol. Also same I would go to see it every time and this was before I had ever even seen the actual movie!
If I recall, they would ask for volunteers, but there was always one stunt performer planted into it, as the female stunt performer would 'show off' punches, but they would sell it like she was punching the heck out of a random person. It was awesome!
@@firekrys Yup, one of my favorite parts of the show. I especially loved the final punch when she knocked him out and he did that awesome backwards roll into an unassisted headstand without his arms supporting him before flopping to the ground.
A genuine cinematic masterpiece
"Who knows Jones. After a thousand years, even YOU may be worth something?!"
"HaHaHaaaaSonovabitch!"
The girl with "Love You" on her eye lids was meant to be a love interest for Indy. He was having an affair with her and she was meant to appear in more scene's with Indy which were filmed but ended up on the cutting room floor. She is an English actress and model. Pola Churchill.
Man, watching you watch this movie for the first time had me excited to watch it with you and I've seen it a hundred times. I love your passion and enthusiasm. Never lose that.
My favorite is "Temple Of Doom." I cannot wait to watch your reaction to that one. BTW, there have been four movies the fourth one was called "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull" from 2008.
It's better than people give it credit for as well, and it's before Shea Lebeuf went nuts lol
When belloq eats the fly, they actually cut a few frames out to make his character seem even more menacing.
This is my favorite movie and I’m so glad you enjoyed it
i Have been watching you since November 29th 2020 and just remembered your video about monthy python and the holy grail where you told us you just reached over 500 subs. Man you doing fantastic, about 7 months later you reached almost 50 k Subs. Thx for the nice videos.
9:54, yeah it's amazing! This movie inspired parts of the MCU. In fact The Tesseract is it's own version of The Ark Of the Covenant.
Great reaction dude! Seeing you laugh at all the visual gags brought back all the delights I experienced when I first saw it in 1981!
My favorite movie of all time. Your reaction was just like the audience was when it first came out, shows my age. Personally, not a big fan of the second one, but the third, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade brings back the spirit of Raiders. Definitely recommend it. And I will subscribe, I really like your personality and your reactions.
Love u.
But I ALSO LOVE 2.
🤷🏼♂️❤😆👍
If you liked Raiders you absolutely have to do The Last Crusade. The two are tied for my favorite childhood movie
One of the best movies ever, period. I can watch it over and over and over, it's a masterpiece on every level
I was ten when I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out - I've seen it dozens of times in the theater each time it is re-released and it's amazing on the big screen. Nothing really beats Raiders. I'm very glad you liked it and saw it now - I agree with your comment on being able to appreciate it more as an adult.
I watch this film every day... When I need to clean up all my kids shit in the house I put this movie on. Makes me feel like I'm going on a adventure. Why is there a apple rotting behind the couch or why is there a box of cheeseitz full of ants in the living room. Fantastic score and Mr ford is so dreamy...
You're going to especially love Part III, Mell. Largely because of Sean Connery in it! And you'll get to see how Indiana got his chin scar. 😎👍
That's my favorite. RIP Sir Sean Connery. 💖💖💖💖
That one is my favorite!
Humming to the iconic theme while trying to whip with your belt? You earned yourself a new subscriber.
That was Steven Spielberg's idea: "How about a room with thousands of snakes?"
The number of snakes if I remember was between 5,000 and 7,000
At least they weren't on a plane, amirite?
The irony is that the snakes kept CROWDING the torches, rather than fleeing from them. Y'know, because cold blooded + warmth.
Also, the snake that fell on Marion was one that got bit by the cobra and they put on ice after it died. It....didn't preserve very well. When Karen Allen wasn't giving the reaction that Spielberg wanted while filming this scene he dropped it on her. So her reaction was GENUINE.
Spielberg was apparently kind of sadistic like that (they had to drug Capshaw out of her mind to film the bug room scene in Temple of Doom, because she is DEATHLY afraid of them).
This is LITERALLY my favorite movie franchise of ALL-TIME!! Can't wait for you to check out the rest of the other Indiana Jones movies! :)🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊💖💖💖💖
just so you know indie know to close his eyes from a deleted scene, saying you must not look on god
Even without that, it's pretty common knowledge worldwide not to look at it.
@@wfly81 most atheists don't know that Moses wore a veil when he went up onto mt sinai and even then did not look upon the face of God
@@artygunnar Well, ok. But any archeologist who is in search of the Ark of the Covenant would know the story associated with it. My point is that Indy wouldn't need someone to tell him not to look at it.
@@artygunnar What does being an atheist have to do with it? They're capable of reading the bible, too. They just don't believe all the horseshit in it.
@@wfly81 If I remember correctly, the scene was Indy explaining to Sallah (and to the audience) that physically touching the Ark, or even looking into it, meant death (hence those poles they use). I think they removed it to make the ending more surprising.
Passages in the bible describe how being in the presence of God will 'melt' you, hence why the baddies faces melt like that. Belloq should have known better, but the curiosity got the better of him - and he thought the Ark was a 'radio transmitter' to God, thinking he was worthy to have that conversation. Well... he wasn't. :)
At least it didn't cause their chest to collapse and head explode... wait a minute...
The Bible describes how Aaron’s sons brought a sacrifice in the terbancle without permission and a fire arose from it and consumed them. That part in Indiana Jones when the fire consumes balack always reminds me of that.
You could even say that he chose...poorly.
The bible also says that the ark causes tumors on the "secret parts" of people when its power is unleashed on cities (at least in the King James Bible). For years I thought that was a sneaky way to mean genital herpes, but it just means tumors on their bodies they cover up with clothes. I always think of that when Marcus says his line about the power of the ark and laugh.
wait the ark was a real thing or just mentioned in the bible?
I like Indiana Jones and all, but Belloq is my dude, Ive had such a crush on him ever since I was 6 years old😁
He can supply the wine!
@@Jitterzz Hey, one of my top 3 idle daydreams of all time is getting to be Marion Ravenwood getting drunk with Belloq in a tent in the desert. How fun would that be, I ask you?😀
He IS pretty Frenchawesome!
...Even our guy pointed out his swallowing of the fly.
🤷🏼♂️❤😆👍🤣
Aw man!!! I was all hyped that you had a real whip, and then it was just your belt...ain't that some shit?! 😜😁🤣
Power Of Editing! Lmao
When this came out I watched it at the theaters eleven days in a row. Thanks Mom!
My dad and I went almost every night for several weeks.
“ I can’t wait to see the other 2.”
It was nice when that was true.
Dad took me to the theater to see it when it came out. I was 9. The face melting stayed with me for years.
Mellooooo Ahoo! Ahoo! Ahoo! Another one of my favs, another glorious reaction. This movie still makes me feel like a kid too…and of course the “belt” bullwhip in the intro, so choice. If someone tells you they haven’t done it, don’t believe them. I gotta catch up you’re previous 2 reactions.
"Man! Don't tell me you just released that thing into the world?!" he says of the most accurate depiction of God on screen, to date, in the form of the Pillar of Fire that inscribed the 10 Commandments in stone before Moses.
When you got to the skeleton tomb scene and said "I know that scene probably had some kids pissing their pants!" I thought- "Oh, just you wait..."
I also laugh when I get hyped or excited! I laughed through the ending of "Rear Window" (another masterpiece) even though it's not a comedy at all.
Just about EVERYTHING in Raiders of the Lost Ark was perfect. The casting, the music, the stuntwork, the cinematography. It's just FANTASTIC.
Some of the basic history behind the Ark is actually very well-researched. The design of the Ark, and tven the way they handle it (no one touches the Ark itself, and the whole thing about not looking inside it) is right from the text of the Bible (which is WHY Indy knew not to touch or look inside it. There was dialogue filmed with the old man who translated the medallion explaining it that was cut).
The drinking game between Marion and Belloq was actually Karen Allen's (Marion) idea, which she worked out with Paul Freeman (Belloq). The script was for her to seduce him, but Allen was afraid it undermined the strength and independence they were setting up. So she and Freeman came up with the drinking game as a callback to the one in her first scene.
The swordsman scene is one of the funniest. If I remember correctly, Harrison Ford improvised the scene by lazily shooting the guy and they kept it for the movie
Harrison Ford had gotten food poisoning, so they abandoned the elaborate big fight scene with the swordsman in favor of just having Indy shoot him.
Not really "improv" (the swordsman has a squib for being shot, and does a pratfall) but it was originally scripted as a huge whip vs sword showdown but dysentery swept through, including Harrison Ford, so they rewrote the scene to just get it over with.
Use DosBox and play a game called "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis". That game is awesome adventure game!
Agreed! That game was the best and was almost another whole movie in itself.
6:46 Nice forshadowing of the Ark's power.
There is also a deleted scene where the guy translating the medallion at 13:55 tells Indy two rules from the medallion which are to not touch the Ark or look inside as they will both result in death.
I love how the whip is never explained until the third film.
My favourite is the Temple of Doom but this one has my favourite score. Anyway the trilogy is amazing. Never seen Crystal Skull, i refuse.
Temple Of Doom is my favorite too. In fact, it is in my top #15 of all time. Crystal Skull isn’t terrible. In my opinion, it is almost as good (maybe even better) than some of the others. If you don’t look at the effects or the messed up story, it is kinda enjoyable.
Crystal skull isn’t good or fun. It has a few fun moments, but over all, it’s less than the sum of its parts.
TOD is my favorite, it’s not the best but it’s the most watchable
@@alexh2217 The reason i don't wanna watch Crystal Skull is because they brought aliens to Indiana Jones universe. One of the reasons i like the original trilogy is because they are about spiritual mythical artifacts created by supernatural beings. Aliens seems out of context.
@@davida7153 they say it in the movie, it depends on who your god is, i.e., seeking out a higher power, something Indie has always been about.
Me, I liked it, I saw it in the theatre, I went in to have a good time and that's what I got. My grandfather liked it more than Temple of Doom
Hitler was actual into ancient artifacts for real back then
The Egyptian guy who helped Indy is the actor who was Gimli and Treebeard's voice in Lord of the Rings.
This movie came out when I was 11 years old, there were a lot of us injured trying to do Indiana Jones shit.
I hope you live in a town that has a theatre or two that show old films. You would be a wonderful contributor to an enthusiastic audience, rewatching this film. You said, "I want to see the other two..." except - you really WANT to see #4, too, because 'we' return to that warehouse in #4. Fans will definitely enjoy that part. At least.
The big bald Nazi is Pat Roach, he’s in all 3 movies 😎
He was reduced to a background extra in Last Crusade, tho.
I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out. I was ten years old…
Changed my life!
Thanks for getting to this one👍I forgot that some peeps still have never seen it😲 I very much enjoyed watching you discover it’s magic 🤗
Didn't understand last review of The Crow, confusingly violent but loved your collaboration with Mr Video. I enjoyed the trilogy of the early Indie films but no more as the franchise now Mickey mouse and Star Wars was allegedly spoilt too by their input. Best leave happy memories. Jaws could never be replicated and they tried. Thank you for sharing 🇬🇧 😀
Sallah is Gimli from Lord of the Rings
I watched this in theaters after researching and writing a paper on cinematography for a university class. Completely changed how I saw it.
26:20 My take on this has always been that the Ten Commandments were always in the Ark, but with all the jostling around it’s received over the millennia the stone tablets have fractured and crumbled to sand. Probably were made of sandstone in the first place so they’d be light enough for an 80 year old Moses to carry down the mountain.
