It's a nice use of a W.C. Fields joke from the same era - Fields played up being a bit of an alcoholic misanthrope and he would say he doesn't drink water because fish f--- in it.
The true genius of this transition is how Spielberg uses the camera. As Indy describes Brody, in almost hushed reverence, the camera moves in and down, helping the description build Brody in stature. By the end of the camera move, Brody's a giant of a figure, he's filling the frame, we're looking up at him. Hard cut to a high angle, Brody small and lost in a sea of people, wandering about, yelling in confusion. It's brilliantly done.
The way the movie sells this scene to the viewer is masterful. The closing in on his face while giving this monologue and building up Marcus. The viewer is supposed to believe all this, just to find out the truth. That's why there is a short break before we cut to Marcus. Skilfully done.
My headcanon here is that Indy isn't technically lying; Marcus speaks a dozen languages, but none that are useful(ancient greek and latin will do him no good in that part of the world), knows every local custom(from 1000 years ago, maybe), he's got friends in every village from here to the sudan(Yes, he does, but he could never find them even if he tried)
@@unsolicited577 I was chuckling throughout the whole bluff -- you just knew it was total bullshite! -- & then I lost it when they cut to Marcus in Iskenderun.
Professor Henry Jones: "So you think Marcus has reached the Grail already? Indy: "I doubt it." Professor Henry Jones: "You said he had a two-day head start! And that he would blend in!" Indy: "Are you kidding? I made that up. You know Marcus, he got lost once in his own museum."
Even though this scene was a bluff on Indy's part, the monologue had a huge impact on me when i saw this my senior year of high school in Brooklyn, NY. Every word that Indy was describing was what I wanted to be! Someone who speaks (at least) more than 2 or 3 languages, is well traveled and familiar with various cultures, able to adapt, blend in or "disappear" into any foreign environment! Those words shook me to my core. The following year as i started college I took up 2 foreign languages (French & Arabic) and double majored in Political Science and Anthropology. I did as many study-abroad programs my majors would allow (France, Madagascar, Morocco) and did the Peace Corps the following year before attending grad school in the UK. Now I'm an Energy Analyst based in Dubai but I watch this film once every year. It still hits me.
It wasn't those words which made you choose that lifestyle, you already had the desire. Somebody else in an other movie, or somebody powerful you met in your life could have also been the conduit, but Harrison Ford's character just happened to speak those words at that time in your life while you already felt that longing. This was just a recognition of that longing.
I had hoped your story would've ended with something like "and last year, I still failed to figure out where to buy a ferry ticket from Hauts-de-France to England and had to spend my night in a dingy bar."
I'm currently taking anthropology and Indy has inspired me greatly since I was a child (my mom introduced my brothers and I to the trilogy when we were kids). Any way you can help me jump-start my career once.i graduate?
Jesus Christ, Marcus really does stick out like a sore thumb. Couldn't stop laughing my ass off after how Indie kept hyping him up, knowing how terrible at adventures his friend was.
When I saw this as a 9 year old back in 1989, I had a dream that night that I still remember to this day, based on what Indiana hyped him up to be. I remember dreaming he actually went ahead to every next scene of the movie like a pro, he blended in, knew all the customs. And he even went to see the knight and found the grail. Then he packed up his briefcase and went back to that city he was lost in to play the part of a sore thumb. It was funny. And I still remember having that dream way back then.
I cant gush enough about this film, the way Harrison does his tough guy face just to set up the gag of marcus lost is comedy gold. and I always loved Denholm Elliot in anything, rip marcus.
0:46 Han Solo: “The hell you will! He’s got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs! C-3PO’s got friends in every town and village from here to Endor!

he speaks a dozen languages , knows every local custom. LOL Talk about a poker bluff. Brody may have well been wearing a fluorescent green outfit with a peacock tail hat and high heel boots.
The great thing is we don’t know very much about Marcus at this point since he has a rather small role in Raiders, so we have no reason not to believe Indy … until the cut happens.
I grew up watching all these movies dozens of times and loved them. 20 years later, just this month all 4 got added to Netflix and I watched them all. I had no idea how funny they were too. Lol I love in the beginning they show him develop his fear of snakes, how chill he was and even handled one snake with ease, then later falls in the circus snake pit, then the camera pans to way outside the train and you can hear him scream from there. LOL
"Marcus? You didn't drag poor Marcus along did you? He's not up to the challenge." Henry Senior doesn't realize that Marcus speaks a dozen languages & can blend into any culture like a chameleon. 1:05 - wait, maybe not...
Just saw this in cinemas today, and you couldn't even hear the "Does anyone here speak English" line because everyone was laughing in anticipation of the line XD
I have always loved this scene. Every time im lost in some other country i feel just like this. I think im Indys version of brody but so often im the real version. But always willing to get lost again.

Not gonna lie, Indy had me fooled the first time I saw this scene.
Ford is literally surrounded by British acting talent in this scene.
Yup, Byrne, Connery, Glover. I wasn't too fond of Glover in this movie or a lot of his earlier roles but he was really great in Game of Thrones.
Elsa is Irish
Sean Connery is Scottish.

Eh close enough I guess
"Water? No thanks. Fish make love in it."
**cautiously looks at the bottle of water that I'm drinking**
I've been watching this movie since VHS days and just now heard this line. This is why the internet was invented.
Indiana: Your resume, Brody: you
With any luck he's got the grail already.
Brendan McCallion does anyone here speak English?
Ford really sells it because in the theater, EVERYONE seated next to me believed him.
Ahaahhaahahahahahahhaha

Notice that Marcus Brody is dressed exactly like journalist Jackson Bentley in "Lawrence of Arabia", Steven Spielberg's favourite film.
"I've never seen a man killed with a sword before"
Damn, never knew that! Also, Paul Freeman was dressed the same way as Belloq in Raiders -- cocked, light-colored fedora & all!
0:51 is probably my dad’s favorite line in the entire film. We’re always constantly laughing the moment “does anybody here speak English?” comes up.
1:09 "Fish make love in it."
"Or even ancient greek"

He also got lost in his own Museum.
Man...Last Crusade low key has some of the best comedy bits.
Between this scene and..."she talks in her sleep"
Lmao!
The entire bit in the castle and the subsequent chase scene is one of my favourite parts.

Never play poker with Indy, he'd bluff you out of your shoes.

Dad, you know Marcus. He got lost in his own museum once.
he speaks a dozen languages , knows every local custom. LOL
Talk about a poker bluff. Brody may have well been wearing a fluorescent green outfit with a peacock tail hat and high heel boots.
0:51 - the Harrison Ford voice that Mark Hamill has down to a tee.
Indy: *The description*
Marcus: *The actual thing*
That's the best part
"with any luck he's got the grail already"
*cut to Brody getting arrested mere minutes after getting off the train*
The great thing is we don’t know very much about Marcus at this point since he has a rather small role in Raiders, so we have no reason not to believe Indy … until the cut happens.
LOL that's the best part
Henry Jones was probably thinking:
0:23 "Thank God ya had THAT much sense, Junior."
0:38 "I spoke too soon."
Or Thought to soon as the case may be.
I think you mean 'shense', 'shpoke' and 'shoon'.

Oh yeah?? And who's gonna come to save you, JUNIOR??
He's probably sitting there like "he's an idiot..."
No better hype man than Indy
Water? No thank you sir, fish make love in it.
This scene cracks me up every time. Pure gold.
I saw this movie when i was 6 years old. I loved and still love Marcus, best secondary character of the franchise!!!
I love this scene, I thought nobody will upload it to youtube since it isn't one of the most famous, but it's brilliant!!

this is one of my favourite movie scenes of all time.
man got lost in his own museum
Marcus Brody sometimes reminds me of the real life travel documentaries of Michael Palin. Similar energy.
Sincerely, it's a good thing I wasn't part of the crew behind the camera, just the part where Indy bluffs is enough to make me laugh uncontrollably!
Definitely one of the greatest films ever.
"Marcus? You didn't drag poor Marcus along did you? He's not up to the challenge." Henry Senior doesn't realize that Marcus speaks a dozen languages & can blend into any culture like a chameleon. 1:05 - wait, maybe not...
I need to rewatch this movie soon. The sarcastic dynamic between Indy and Henry is so much like what I had with my own dad. 😁
That's just great filmmaking. Dramatic soliloquy, nice slow zoom, then a perfectly paced cut to the bumbling Brody. Spielberg at his best.
Wherearethesemissingpagesthismapwemusthavethesepagesback!
A great scene in what I think is the best of the Indiana Jones franchise. The relationship he has with his dad, Sean Connery is just gold.
I got chills when I heard that bluff.
Lol one of my favorite scenes in this movie
1:08 "water? Oh, no thank you sir; fish make love in it"
Indy: How my work colleagues describe me / think of me when serving/speaking with customers
Marcus: How I am actually am with speaking languages.
@Mark Griffiths TRUE XD 😂
Oh this is still one of my favorite jokes in cinema. Never fails to bring out a laugh
The timing of that cut-away is just perfect.
"Does anyone understand a word I'm saying here?"
1:09 “no thank you darling fish make love in it” is a reference from late Comedian W.C. Fields where he said “I don’t drink water, fish fuck in it”
“Let the jones boys go Donovan. And I guarantee we’ll double whatever your getting.”
Comedy is best when you don’t even expect it
“I made that up. You know Marcus. He got lost once in his own museum.”
“Water? No thank you sir, fish make love in it”
Best bluff of all time.
now i understand why my mom found this scene so funny
Just saw this in cinemas today, and you couldn't even hear the "Does anyone here speak English" line because everyone was laughing in anticipation of the line XD
That’s how you confidently bluff a mis-suited 2 and 4 against an inside straight.
The first 2 movies were really good, but damn then stepped up even higher.
I have always loved this scene. Every time im lost in some other country i feel just like this. I think im Indys version of brody but so often im the real version. But always willing to get lost again.
It's stuff like this that makes Spielberg so good.
Marcus Brody - the man who got lost in his own museum
Magnificent field work
Denholm Elliiott deserved better ... he was much more cunning and assured in Raiders.
Indie: What’s on your resume
Marcus: When you’re finally working on the job you applied for
Thank you needed this scene for a project im working on and disney wasnt loading XD
"You didn't drag poor Marcus along?" Well, Marcus wanted to come, so it was his choice, not Indy's.
"No thank you, I'm a vegetarian".
