You know someone truly loves a movie when they can't stop quoting it.
Chris does that for a lot of movies.
Or really hates a movie
Idk there are plenty of movies I can’t stand that I still quote out of irony
"If a lot of people loved eachother the wurld would be a better place to live"
Yes, this statement is 100% correct.
Ah, me too: "Don't do it high five"
A lot knew Sean Connery for James Bond. I remember him for Henry Jones.
RIP: Sir Sean Connery. (1930-2020)
Same Sean Connery played perfectly as Henry Jones Sr rest in peace good sir (1930-2020) he lived all towards his 90.
He was great In Highlander and Dragonheart too
I liked Sean more when his hair starts to get grey, he matured as an actor, I would say around the time period he acted in "The Rock". Love this man.
As a 3-4 year old kid my first introduction to Sean Connery was as Henry Jones Sr. Only after watching Goldfinger with my parents a few years later did they tell me he was also the original James Bond. The first Bond I knew was Roger Moore.
RIP to the first and best 007.
I remember him from Zardoz
“YOU left...JUST as you were getting interesting”
The most underrated line of the movie
"so you were boring as a kid".... what an implicit bad father, damn Spielberg and his hidden punches
I don't get it? What's so great about that line?
@@spaceace4387 shows the cleverness of Steven Spielberg, who directed this movie, in one sentence... otherwise we obtain a "George Lucas in his fifties" directed movie
@@ManuelVF79 How?
My dad wasn’t quoting the movie, and he didn’t hold back. Once I turned 11 and began hanging out in the shop with him, learning to weld, working cars he told me “Now you’re getting interesting”. And I can kinda see why. My interests before that were distinctly un-adult and this was me choosing the path I’d take to adulthood
Farewell Sean Connery. Hearing such praise for this movie seemed the right way to honor him.
Pretty sure he abused women
I love that guy. I should watch more movies with him in it. Dudes always been great
That's *_SIR_* Sean Connery.
Proper respect where it's due.
@@HugoStiglitz88
Ahhh Hugo, you've moved up in the world I see.
Hey wait a minute Sean’s character drank from the cup wouldn’t he be immortal then he wouldn’t be dead in kingdom of the crystal skull that doesn’t make sense
Chris: i'm gonna give Indiana Jones and the last crusade an A+
Me: "you have chosen... wisely"
I think you mean "poorly", it deserved either an F or a Hilariocity.
Space Ace lol you’ve replied to everyone’s comments on liking the last crusade in a negative way...is that why you came here? dedicated trolling at its finest..
@@greggately5782 I can reply to whoever I want, I think your blind praise for this trash movie is a troll job. I don't think it's humanly possible to objectively like this movie. I have provided multiple legitimate reasons why this movie is bad from the plot holes to the lazy writing to the pacing issues to the character flaws, bad acting, bad dialogue, etc. and I have yet to hear a legit defense of this trash movie. I said this to someone else I think you need to quit being a fragile little snowflake and learn how to take some criticism. This movie does not deserve the same grade as Raiders, it's either an F or a Hilariocity.
Space Ace If YOU think this movie is either an F or a Hilariocity, no need to be an edgelord about it. Accept that others think differently. No one is gonna side with you if you just start ranting.
@@Mark-xs4gi I couldn't care less if you side with me or not, that doesn't change my opinion that this is an F movie. I can't even finish it in one sitting, it's too damn cringeworthy. Everything about it is a serious downgrade from the first two and I love how you refuse to address any of the valid points I've made.
I still always say the quote, “You have chosen... wisely”
Or "He chose, poorly".
"No ticket!!"
“Does anyone here speak English???”
My dad says that a lot still today XD
@@KatieLHall-fy1hw what's ur favorite line from this movie
“Why don’t they make movies like that?” Oh, man, I felt that.
What's considered good filmmaking and what is popular with the film eating public changes with time.
I'd wager that in time, new films will feel like these old ones, and after that new films will feel like modern films.
@@Burrick Exactly! Film is so subjective, and that phrase that Chris Stuckmann said showed that Chris Stuckmann has never taken the time to actually look for these films, or even seek them out.
And if you don't, it's inevitably that generalizations like this will happen regardless of the subjectivity.
They do (Fant4stic, Emoji Movie, etc.)
@@markparkinson6947 nobody is going to remember 2010's movies the way they do 80's films and you know it.
Boomer Beaer How so?
Raiders: Most action
Temple of Doom: Most violent
Last Crusade: Most Emotional
Crystal Skull: Nuking the fridge
What’s emotional about Last Crusade?
@@spaceace4387 did you watch the video? The relationship between indy and his father.
@@highonsleep4219 that wasn’t emotional, it was stupid
@@spaceace4387 elaborate please...
@@highonsleep4219 they never once provided a reason why we should care about the characters, the acting between The two was horrible, Ford and Connery have no chemistry and their dialogue was poorly written. Connery was nothing more than a bumbling oaf to appeal to the 4 year olds this movie was made for
Part of the reason the 3rd Act in this film is so good is that INDY's goal is NEVER the Grail. He's never chasing the MacGuffin. When offered, he openly declines Donovan's invitation to look for it until he finds out his father is missing. The midpoint is his arrival at the castle where his father is. This same point in Raiders is the tomb where the Ark is--the retrieval of the MacGuffin.
Indy's goal in this film is always to save his father.
When we get to the third act, Indy has no motivation to get the Grail (he's never had any motivation to get it for the entire film). He even tells Donovan so. That is--
Right up until Donovan shoots his father--"Only the healing power of the Grail can save your father now."
The 3rd Act combines both stories. It combines the heart with the typical adventure story. It's brilliant.
This is also my favorite of the Indy flicks :)
The movie also gives Henry an amazing arc- his entire life he’s been so obsessed with retrieving the grail that he neglected Indiana as a son. But by the end of the movie, he is more concerned about saving Indiana than actually retrieving the grail, saying “let it go” when he Indy has it within reach. Then, at the end, Henry says that he’s found “illumination” in the grail- the illumination that his renewed relationship with Indy is the true treasure
@@justink569 That it does.
I don't know if it's just because I'm a sucker for father/son films, but this is one of my favorites. Though the tone is completely different, it covers a lot of similar material and themes that I love in LOGAN as well.
Father/son stories always make me weepy. Especially when well done.
Also--Jeffrey Boam. Screenwriter. Look that dude up. Super super underrated writer.
@@justink569 That's a really nice observation.
The cut to Marcus Brody after Indiana boasts about how professional he is, was brilliant. 😂
Always makes me laugh 😁
Yep brilliant. I love how descriptive Indy is with how cunning and dangerous brody really is. The looks on the Nazis faces were like, "Oh damn, were screwed".
Much like General Hux in that recent ‘Star Wars’ thing and Janine in Ghostbusters,Marcus was radically changed to a knockabout ‘comedy’ character for this disappointment.Temple Of Doom is much more fun.
Does anyone speak English, or Ancient Greek?
Fucking hilarious
I love Sean Connery. I’m so glad he is still alive. He’s 89 years old coming up on his 90th birthday in a month. I hope he reaches 100. It’s gonna be painful when he inevitably passes. Such an excellent actor. I loved this movie and Finding Forrester
Edit: 10/31/2020 Damnnnn what the fuck...... Rest In Peace Sean Connery!!
Literally amazing he fulfilled his career
Damnnnn what the fuck...... Rest In Peace Sean Connery!!
Holy shit
RIP Sean Connery. You'll be missed by us all
No by all of us. He supported woman abuse.
@@MegaSoulHero Really?
@@MegaSoulHero no
@@MegaSoulHero please tell me more, I've never heard of this before
@@MegaSoulHero Okay buddy
The Last Crusade legitimately helped me to reach out to my father, we didn't have the best relationship growing up and rarely talked, but rewatching this film just over a year ago really made me rethink my relationship with him, maybe I judged him too much, perhaps I ought to put the work into this relationship to get it going, and I'm proud to say that, while not perfect, me and my Dad have significantly more active interactions, thanks Spielberg and Lucas.
So glad for you, man!
Dude that’s awesome!!! I believe that all movies should be made for stuff like this. To encourage people!
Man, that is wonderful. That just shows the capable power of film when it touches life and can turn a new leaf.
I feel the same way when my father and I seen this on that midnight Tuesday when I scene it.
That's beautiful
It’s funny cause Sean Connery is only 12 years older than Ford.
Somehow I would believe Henry Jones Sr. Having a son with his girlfriend at 12.
Well... It's technically still possible.
@eating sugar no papa puberty is happening earlier and earlier now. It absolutely is biologically possible
@eating sugar no papa
Love these kinds of ironically ignorant comments.
And Salley Fields is 10 years older than Daniel Day-Lewis even though in reality Lincoln is 9 years older than Mary. They're actors playing characters, Sean happens to be playing a character older than he actually is. A practice that is not uncommon.
That 'riding off into the sunset' ending was cinema perfection. I watch it even when the end credits come up because of John Williams triumphant music.
The chemistry with Harrison and Connery in this film is just a thing of beauty.. timeless movie
An absolutely thrilling fact is that when the first Jurassic Park movie came around Harrison Ford turned down Speilbergs offer to play the iconic hero Alan Grant which he obviously turned down. Then Connery was offered the role of John Hammond and he turned it down.
Yep. Best one. Thanks Chris!
What is this a crossover episode? 😂
Fackin, fackin jonesy mate
@eating sugar no papa said no one ever
My least favorite original but still fantastic, I did kind of miss the casual violence of the first two. Raiders will always be my favorite, not as goofy as two, but goofier than one, I found it flawless, while 2 was entertaining, but objectively the worst of the three, the only thing in 3 I ever got attached to was Indie's dad, rest was just Raider's but very slightly less enjoyable
Worst one by far, but if you like it that's all that matters.
I‘m still amazed by River Phoenix‘ performance in this movie. He got Ford‘s signature smile spot on.
Uhhhh, what? River Phoenix was horrible in this movie, every line he gave was pure cringe, although I will say that was fairly consistent for this trash movie.
@@mogensgallardo3288 what bait? I’m being serious
oh boy..
My love to him!
River was awesome! He was perfect casting
“Why don’t they make movies like that?”
As a starting writer myself, it's REALLY hard to write a good, interesting story, with great characters (with character arcs), with high stakes, funny moments, great action and adventure, and heart. It's not impossible, but boy, it takes time. And there's always the risk that it won't be liked either way, or that you didn't notice something important, or that it's simply not good enough.
Writing is hard, guys. Making a whole movie is even harder. So when something good appears, don't knock it down too much for it's faults.
I love how as a kid I didn't pickup that Henry figured out Eliza was a nazis because "She talks in her sleep" but as an adult I was like oh SHIT
Hahaha Mack daddy jones. I didn’t get that either honestly.
Same. Just like the scene in Jenny’s dorm in Forrest Gump
One of my favorite movie innuendoes.
I saw it in the cinema when it came out. I was approaching 17 in the summer of 1989. I caught on to that one right away.
@@diarradunlap9337 I was 8 when I first saw it, so....

When Chris was taking about Henry calling his son Indiana, Just Chris' delivery gave me chills. Such an amazing moment in the film.
Yes, Chris please start a segment-movie review list called "When Movies Were Good......" and re-review everything pre-2000 please!
That was stupid and cliched. You have very low standards.
same
@Esteban Julió Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez Uh yeah Last Crusade really is that bad, Temple while not as great as Raiders was way better than Last Crusade. Let's see: The plot is basically the same thing as Raiders, all of the acting is horrendous, Ford and Connery have no chemistry, the film has kiddie humor such as Mickey Mouse jokes, the action sequences are not intense at all especially that stupid boat chase, it tries way too hard to be a James Bond movie, there are tons of plot holes like Indy and Henry making it clear across Europe in a matter of hours with no resources or transportation, the ending is impossible, they turned Marcus into Jar Jar Binks, the prologue is beyond unnecessary and contrived not to mention River Phoenix is god awful, etc.
Space Ace Why is River pheonix god-awful? I thought he was quite good as young indy.
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, are the best picked actors for a specific role that I can imagine. Also the chemistry between the main actors in both trilogies is what mades this movies so unforgettable.
Also RDJ as Tony Stark and Harrison Ford as Han Solo. Harrison Ford is just great in general.
David Bowie as Nichola Tesla was amazing.
Which is interesting because both were not the original choices and the original choices both shot a scene- with BTTF several scenes- before they were replaced by the kindred!
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
A blend of the episodic adventure serial that was Raiders and the relentlessly frenetic pace that was Temple of Doom culminating in a character driven piece that makes Indy all the more interesting as one of the most iconic heroes ever put on film. This is a movie about Indiana Jones: the man he came to be and his relationship with his father. Pure filmmaking gold 10/10
For the people that didn't know Steven Spielberg always wanted to do a 007 movie but never got to but did get Sean Connery (the frist James Bond) in last crusade
Wow I did not know that very interesting n he did get the best James Bond! In my opinion.😊
Dear god and Indiana Jones as a whole was born from this desire. He said this to George, George said ‘I have a better character’ and the rest is history.
@@thejfoshow1320 which Indiana Jones movie is ur favorite?
It’s mentioned on the dvd extras and I still wish Steven Spielberg could make a Bond movie.
Which always seemed weird to me. After Jaws and E.T. Spielberg was the biggest director in the world, and could do any movie he wanted. Why didn't he ask to direct a Bond movie if he wanted to that much? I would think the producers of the Bond franchise would have been thrilled to have him.
"I'm sorry, son.. They got us." makes me laugh so damn loud EVERY TIME
That's not funny.
@@spaceace4387 yes it is
@@spaceace4387 I feel like maybe it is though.
@@spaceace4387 you can be a sour melon if you want to. Whatever floats your goat.
@@jarrodedson5441 Wrong, it wasn't funny at all, even Temple of Doom which wasn't meant to be a comedy unlike Last Crusade was had funnier lines.
Indiana - “What did you find dad?”
Senior -“Me?.....Illumination”
Such an awesome line and great way to end his arc.
Uhhhhh OK. There really wasn't anything good about that line.
@@spaceace4387 You just don't get it. He means he found "enlightenment". That went over your head obviously. It's a perfect way to throw his emotional ending arc into the script.
@@spice_krispies lol this movie isn’t smart enough to go over anyone’s head, not even the preschoolers who were clearly the target audience
@@spice_krispies right, he spent so much time obsessing over the grail and what it represented and then the journey reveals what he needed was his son, thusly illuminated
@@toamatau8785 yep, I can agree
Definitely the best movie of the series. A Great Adventure movie. My favorite part is actually the last scene, where Henry says “ After you Junior” and Indy says “Yes Sir HYAAAAAA” Indy whips that horse into a lope then a run and that big thunderous Raiders Theme just blasts on and they all ride off into the sunset. One of the best movie endings ever.
I would argue that Temple of Doom has more literal heart.
LOL both figuratively and literally.

"The floor is on fire...see? Aaand the chair!"

ALARM!
This one kills me every time, too. Connery really is the best casting choice for Indy's dad. There's so many great quotes that result fromf the relationship between those two.
The physical comedy involving the rotating fireplace door just kills me every time. I mean, how they get into that flue compartment above the door is a bit of a mystery, but hilarious moment
Just imagine how much fun they must've had writing the script

My favorite movies from my childhood all have Harrison Ford in them: Star Wars, Blade Runner and Indiana Jones :)

This movie has such memorable moments, every once and awhile I'll think about "Und this is how we say goodbye in Germany, Doctor Jones"
There’s this scene where they are being chased and Indy is running and is dad is just sitting there and Indy’s like, “Daddd…they’re coming back” and then he stands there impatiently. It is so absolutely perfect. Just like a kid and parent.
The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is just priceless.
What chemistry?

And now Sean Connery is dead on halloween 2020 may he rest in peace
Yeah he was a wife beater so I'm not upset about it
5:06 Well, it technically is "Raiders 2". Most people always forget Temple of Doom is a prequel to Raiders. So chronologically the Last Crusade follows Raiders

The Ark theme plays in that moment too. It's brilliant attention to detail.
Considering Sean Connery plays Indiana Jones’ father there is actually only twelve years between Connery and Harrison Ford
Looks like there’s about 30 though
One thing I noticed, is that not only was Hitler holding the grail diary, the very book he’s looking for, the fact he writes his signature in arguably the most significant biblical item is actually haunting to me. With all the evil Hitler and the Nazi’s had done during the 2nd World War, the signature almost casts a looming shadow over peace and tranquility over the grail. It’s fantastic. Definitely my favourite Jones movie, I love all the three movies, Crystal Skull has some really pressing issues but all 4 were a major part of my childhood so I have a soft spot for Crystal Skull even though it has some serious problems
"Why don't they make movies like this anymore?"
I felt like the first Pirates of the Caribbean was close in spirit. A contained adventure, memorable characters with simple and enjoyable side plots, and wasn't overblown with excess. That was of course thrown out the window for all the sequels of course.
Yeah I remember coming out of the cinema excited telling my family that finally someone is doing movies like the ones we used to see. It's a shame how it went after that. I felt similar with Fury Road
I thought "Captain America: The First Avenger" had a lot of the same characteristics that made the IJ movies so good.
Along with the wink and nod line in the first act, of course.
Second pirates wasn't to bad. After that its a crap shoot...lol
@@mikezbr 2nd Pirates is great. Plus we got all the memes out of it: jar of dirt, jack running from the cannibals, etc. Lol
I have always said that Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is the nearest thing we've had to the quality live action adventure films since Last Crusade. It carries the spirit well.
It has easily the best father-son relationship ever in film
It's the perfect movie for fathers day
What abt... Wait no ur right
@trha2222 probably because Harrison Ford was only eleven years older than Sean Connery
@@bentramer682 You definitely meant younger
What about Luke and Anakin?
Harrison Ford cut his chin in a car accident in southern California when he was about twenty years old. In the movie, this cut is explained by young Indiana Jones cutting his chin with a whip.
Most of the uniforms worn by the Nazis in the Berlin book-burning scene are authentic World War II uniforms, not replicas. A cache of old uniforms was found in Germany and obtained by costume designer Anthony Powell to be used in this movie.
The four horses used in the final scenes outside of the temple were loaned to the movie personally by King Hussein of Jordan.
Sean Connery and Harrison Ford wore no trousers during the shooting of the entire Zeppelin sequence (mainly because it was filmed in a very hot studio, and Connery didn't want to sweat too much).
St. Barnaba Church in Venice is an ordinary church. The huge library interior shown was filmed elsewhere.
Despite being the first Indiana Jones movie to be rated PG-13, this is by far the most mild and family friendly movie in the franchise.
In one scene, Salah refers to Henry Jones, Sr. as "father of Indy", in Arabic, "abu", which means "father of" is a common kunya or honorific.
Professor Henry Jones, Sr. speaks with Sean Connery's recognizable Scottish accent. Jones is a Welsh name, meaning that he is likely to be a Scotsman of Welsh descent.
Steven Spielberg's favorite of the "Indiana Jones" film franchise.
TLC is the first Indiana Jones rared PG-13 film only by default - that rating didn't exist yet. The violence in Gremlins and TOD sparked a push to create another rating between PG and R.
This was the only Indy movie i hadnt seen growing up until recent years. And as soon as I finished it for the first time I knew it was my favourite. Connery and Ford are one of the best screen "buddies" in cinematic history. And the scene where Indy is trying to reach the Grail and Henry Sr. finally calls him "Indiana" makes me tear up everytime. A fantastic film. RIP Sean Connery.
From that scene where Sean Connery scares the seagulls with his umbrella:
"I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne: 'Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky."
Man, what a great scene. One of my favorites.
That look Harrison Ford gives him afterwards is amazing acting. He's surprised and really impressed by his father, seeing him in a way he has never seen him before. Love it.
Probably my favourite moment in my least favourite film of the original trilogy.
I later learned Charlemagne never said that. They made it up just for this movie
@@johnyricco1220 Yeah, I've read that too. But it´s a very cool line nonetheless.
That's okay. The poem from "The Omen" was made up for the film too. (No Bible passage was written in English so it wouldn't make sense for it to rhyme in English).
"You have chosen wisely" Chris picking last crusade as his favorite...
What I like about the original trilogy of movies was they all started with Indy doubting a religious artifact (the Ark, the stones, the Grail), and then witnessing each item at work. It serves as a great journey of illumination for the character.
The dynamic between Indy and his father, and the character development this creates, is brilliant and fascinating. It is always fun to see a pairing of such big-caliber actors.
I love Raiders but the Last Crusade is in another level to me, it's fantastic.
yeah but number 4 is the best ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
joking
I like the story from raiders more but I like the special effects and action sequences and set designs from the last crusade more, I showed my mom indie 4 and we were laughing our asses off the whole time so it still provided some entertainment
@@BRONZALiVE i don't think you have to mention that it is a joke.😂
Raiders is just too classic and iconic for me to have any of the others surpass it. Even the ark is such a mysterious and ancient treasure more than anything else.
Raiders is a classic, Last Crusade belongs on the IMDB Bottom 100 alongside Superbabies and Manos the Hands of Fate
You can say it's the "holy grail" Of the Indiana Jones movies!
Get out.
@@dsmyify yes plz get out that pun was awful
Oh joy
@@jarrodedson5441 why are you hating on him?
You know he's right.
You’re to dangerous to be left alive
The quest for the Grail may have caused the rift between Indy and his father but it was ultimately also the thing that brought them back together. In effect, the Grail 'heals' their relationship.
When I worked in Luton in the 1980's, a guy I worked with landed the role of 'Double' for Harrison Ford on this film (not stunt Double, that was Vic Armstrong). One day he took me and my girlfriend to Elstree Studios and gave us a tour. We walked across the set where Indy has to spell out the word 'IEHOVA' (Latin for Jehovah) on the stones printed with letters on the floor of the cave. He pointed out that the set builders had a sense of humour and spelled out the word 'SHIT' when putting the rocks in place. I've tried to spot it in the film but it's filmed at the wrong angle.
“Why don’t they make movies like that”
The Indiana Jones trilogy is a masterpiece. You don’t get many movies like that, never did.
The Indiana Jones trilogy has one masterpiece (Raiders), one very good and very entertaining movie (Temple), and one god awful piece of sh!t (Last Crusade).
@@spaceace4387 quite harsh man.
@@user-ju6zx3rm8d Nope quite accurate.
Space Ace Raiders is basically a perfect movie. Temple is a good and entertaining movie, but only nr. 3 of the bunch. Crusade is a very close 2nd, almost as good as the first.
@@HappyCatholicDane LOL no, no, no, no. Raiders is one of the greatest movies ever made, I don't think Temple is as good and there are some editing mistakes that are a tad obnoxious but overall it's a fun, engaging movie and Mola Ram is a flat out terrifying villain. Last Crusade is a really really bad parody of itself, I hate that movie so much.
I still believe that the "trilogy" is some of the best work in movie history. These films are master pieces to me. Yes even temple of doom. I love all 3 movies equally and Spielberg should be so proud of himself for giving us this ultimate treasure. Harrison ford will forever always be my favorite actor of all time because of these films.
Way to go Lucas and Spielberg because you guys have created something so beautiful and entertaining. Indiana jones for life.
As always thanks so much chris for giving us a wonderful review. Still hope to meet you one day (live in michigan) lol. I hope we some day get to see "directed by chris stuckman" in theaters soon.
There are two really great movies (Raiders of the Lost Ark and a prequel called Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), the 3rd movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, it's impossible for me to get through it in one sitting it's torture.

This review is beautiful, Chris. Everything you said mirrors what I've always felt for this movie. I just watched this review with my own dad and we both love last crusade since it first came out. Seeing your own point of view on this just makes us want to watch it again after. Truly one of the best action comedies ever made.
13:53 That legit sounded like a punch sound effect.
Notes to film studios;
1. stop interfering with directors, hire the right person for the job and trust them to make the movie;
2. stop greenlighting shitty scripts: if your script is bad, it doesn't matter how talented the rest of the crew and cast are;
3. stop trying to create franchises, you can make a franchise out of a successful film without setting up an entire universe (see Iron Man);
4. stop spoon feeding your audience, your viewers aren't as dumb as you think; and
5. stop regurgitating the same old thing (we don't need 5 Jurassic Park movies with the same plot or endless horror movies with no originality).
It's be nice if they made movies for ppl like us but sadly they need to appeal to the masses
Don't forget, ties into #2, a terrible script cannot be saved by 90mins of digital effects.
Not 👏a👏damn👏lie👏told! Say dat!
You use Iron Man as an example of not forcing a cinematic universe, but in that movie, there's literally Captain America's shield, and Nick Fury namedropping the Avengers. Plus just a few months after that we got Incredible Hulk with Iron Man in right away.
Also, if 5 Jurassic Park movies is too much, how come 23 MCU movies with almsot identical plot structures can easily get a pass?
Also, the MCU is the biggest offender of interfering with directors. Every little detail must correspond and it inhibits directors from telling the stories that they want to tell. That's the reason Patty Jenkins left Thor 2, and Joss Whedon didn't return to Infinity War, and why kenneth branagh didn't direct Thor 2 and why Joe Johnston didn't return to Captain America, and why Scott Derrickson left Doctor Strange 2, and why seasoned directors refuse to touch the MCU out of fear that they'll just be a pawn with no input. Kevin Feige is as much to blame as any big studio head with the amount of interfering that he does with Directors' movies.
@@Lanosrep Not really sure what your point is. I didn't hold Marvel up as a pinnacle of movie making, only that they set up a franchise slowly and casually.
Name dropping other characters and easter eggs like Cap's shield are literally how you start to build a world.
And I'd argue that the Jurassic Park franchise is only now, in the sixth movie, taking the franchise in an interesting direction. The rest of the movies are literally "some people go to an island, mess with dinosaurs, realise its a terrible idea, go home".
I moved to Austria cause of how this movie told me they said good bye there.
@Giuseppe Shmo And the Italian way.
“Und zat is how vee say gud bye in Awwstria”
That same scene, where the knight looked at Indy and his dad, and lifted his hand for a goodbye, with the fantastic haunting john williams music in the background made me cry multiple times. The father/son relationship in this movie was the most phenomenal thing I have ever seen in an action/adventure film.
“Our situation has not improved” is probably the funniest line of the whole thing for me
The Last Crusade has the best character development and the best emotional scenes of the trilogy.
Wrong.
Indeed!
I disagree with everything you just said. Everything Last Crusade attempted to do it did it wrong. The acting, the action, the dialogue, the "character development", etc. was all wrong.
@@spaceace4387 knob head
Space Ace I disagree firmly. Indy’s life was told in a beautiful and thoroughly thematic way. The very things he and his father cherish so much are the things keeping them apart. I will give you the movie’s tone is different from the first two. At times, it’s a buddy comedy. And that is fine by me.
"If you are scotish lord then i am mickey mouse" hilariously dilevered line
WHAT??? That is the worst line I have ever heard. How do we go from dark, mature themes in the first two to Mickey Mouse jokes?
Space Ace you’re such an idiot.
How dare he?!
one of the funniest lines was when Elsa kisses Indy and she says this is how we say goodbye in Austria and then the Nazi guard says this is how we say goodbye in Germany and he punches Indy in the face lmao.
@@BrendanJSmith LOL, you liked the Mickey Mouse joke, what are you 4?
The third act of this movie will forever be one of my favorites ever
Also John Williams score for this movie is underrated and definitely one of his best. The theme for the grail is hauntingly beautiful
The guy at the start being Abner Ravenwood is brilliant, I will accept no other ideas for that character now.
For real. I'm taking that as canon.
Justin Clowater No one cool could be named Abner.
Henry: “Can you fly?”
Indy: “Fly yes, land no.”
This my personal favourite of all the Indiana Jones movies. This was originally the end of the franchise. Sean Connery steals this movie and the chemistry between him and Ford is simply amazing. This is absolutely perfect 5 star movie. The supporting cast is also just as good as the 2 main leads. None of the other movies top the sheer greatness of this movie. Plus out of all the movies this one features the best movie poster by legendary artist Drew Struzan.
Also it should be noted that although that Batman dominated the domestic box office in the US. Last Crusade was the highest grossing movie worldwide in 1989 and rightly so.
That moment when I realized Game of Thrones' Grand Maester Pycelle was Donovan
Oooooooh shit!!!!
The fedora guy will always be Abner Ravenwood in my head canon. I think their ages line up.
When someone asks me to describe the Indiana Jones trilogy:
*"Three cinematic masterpieces of such lethal cunning"*
rod dog please get help.
@rod dog the fourth was not lethal cunning but innocuous buffoonery
@rod dog *slap* That's for blasphemy
When I was in high school I played this movie for my friend's stepdad, who was a super serious Jewish Russian math professor and didn't enjoy anything lowbrow. By the time the SS officer got tossed off a blimp for "no ticket" he started cracking up.
Just heard the news. Sean Connery has left us😢 Thank you for playing an iconic parent.
This is my favorite of all the Indiana Jones Movies. Its a perfect movie.
Among the dozens of quotes this movie gave us, I for some reason always loved: "If you are a Scottish Lord *THEN I AM MICKEY MOUSE"*
.....How dare he (SMACK)
Same. Idc what people say, I’m allowed to like things
"This line is a sean connery line. could we put more 's's and 'h's in it PLEASE!"- My new favorite Chris Stuckmann line. I want that on a mug or a hat or something
Chrish Shtuckmann!
This remains my absolute favorite of the series. The humor, the playful music, the father and son dynamic all make for what I consider a flawless film. (Although I still wonder how Donovan and Elsa passed the second traps).
Temple of Doom had heart......It was in Mola Ram's hand .....but it had heart LOL
*"Indiana... Indiana... let it go..."*
Easily one of my all time favorite movie moments.
That wounded look Indy gave his father when he said that tore my heart apart. Harrison Ford made me BELIEVE he was Indiana Jones in that moment, torn between his quest for knowledge and his devotion to his father.
“Indiana... let it go”
Elsa from Frozen is this Elsa in an alternate universe where she actually learned to let it go, change my mind.
Has anyone ever noticed how much of a serial murderer Indy is.... he never let's it go: he killed 50 Nazis and numerous Egyptians in Ark, he killed probably about 20 Indians in Doom and he killed probably about 100 eople in this film, not just Nazis but everyone on that ship in the intro!
@@jokarpinski22 To be fair, it's not really murder if they were trying to kill you first, leastways not according to Malcolm Reynolds
@@AJadedLizard hahaha, so everyone on the ship was trying to kill him, no cooks, no cabin boys, id he check first? hahaha jk
John Carlos you're allowed to kill as many nazis as you want in movies. Same thing with zombies or aliens (like in the avengers). It's almost an unwritten rule of film. Everyone hates nazis so you're doing the world a favor and it doesn't count as mass murder. Especially when they're well armed soldiers presumably on their way to kill American soldiers.
I've always loved the fact that this movie has a more tragic score
"You lost today kid, but that doesn't mean you have to like it."
”Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan. He speaks a dozen languages and knows every local custom. He'll blend in, disappear and you'll never see him again. With any luck he's got the grail already.” My favorite line 😀
Does anybody here speak english?
@@savagenoob1016 In the german dub the scene is even funnier, because Marcus asks whether anyone speaks ancient greek.
Why did they turn Marcus into such a bumbling oaf? Were they that desperate to market the film to preschoolers? Seriously that's the kind of joke I'd expect from Jar Jar Binks.
@Starscream91 Yes I finished grad school a while ago, most professors are not bumbling oafs. I have never met a single professor who was anything like Marcus Brody 2.0
@@spaceace4387 I don't like you or anything you stand for or believe in, sport.
He was willing to let it go to save his son. That's their biggest moment. Also I'm not sure Elsa chose the wrong one on purpose to me it was always a way to show her way of thinking which is greed and lust for power.
Yes exactly
No, she clearly looks at Indiana knowingly before she gives it to him. She knew what she was doing. She wanted the grail for herself and we see later, she wanted Indiana. She also didn't like Donavan for almost killing Indiana's dad.
@@TheHylden Elsa shot first!
She specifically says after Donovan dies drinking from the elaborate gold false grail, "It would not be made of gold." She did it purposefully.
She's a historian.
I never realized how much I missed this level of passion in your videos. Don't get me wrong, you're my go to guy for movie reviews, and you've inspired me so many times to either watch a great movie, or just make me wish that I had it in me to do what you do, but hearing you talk about these Indiana Jones movies like this makes me want to go back and watch these, and even watch the temple of doom, which my parents never allowed me to watch despite me being 21 years old and them being older movies. I smiled multiple times just because I enjoyed the look of absolute joy on your face while watching you talk about all three of these Indiana Jones movies. Reminds me why I've been subscribed to you since I was 14 years old. I've always thought that I preferred it when you tore down terrible movies, but these Indiana Jones reviews reminded me that, despite those hilariocity reviews being so god damn entertaining, these nostalgic A+ reviews actually can be rather inspiring.
Temple of Doom is an amazing film. It's a perfect sequel in the sense that is bold and different from his predecessor and yet still a great movie filled with iconic scenes. The Last Cruzade is also a great film and probably one of the best sequels that tries to replicate and honor his legacy and still be fresh, but sometimes we need sequels to get us into new directions and open up the world instead of trying to serve us the same dish with a different side salad and occasionally barely cooked.
Controversial, but this is my favorite one. The chemistry between Indy and his father is fantastic. Also, "We names the dog Indiana" is one of the great line reads in the series.
That line is why I have a dog named Indiana😋
What's controversial about that? I don't know anyone that thinks otherwise.
I love this movie. Not only my favorite Indiana Jones movie, one of my favorites ever
@@FooMantis well, I like Raiders a little more. But I really enjoy Last Crusade.
@@Descro382 Same here.
By far my favorite. Love the quote Indiana says regarding Marcus Brody: "He's got a two day head-start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan. He speaks a dozen languages and knows every local custom. He'll blend in, disappear and you'll never see him again. With any luck he's got the grail already."
INDY: Come on, dad. Help me get us out of here. We have to get to Marcus before the Nazis do.
HENRY: But you said he had a two day head start, that he'll blend in. Disappear.
INDY: Are you kidding? I made that up. You know Marcus once got lost in his own museum.
I can't stand what they did to Marcus's character. He seemed to be quite intelligent and respectable in the first movie but they turned him into a Jar Jar Binks like buffoon in the third one to appeal to the 4 year olds that this movie was made for.
@@spaceace4387 I would say they just made him someone with no street smarts (polar opposite of Indy). He still could've been a great intellectual.
@@joshnlevinson And they went way overboard that the whole thing came off as a really bad, not funny joke. He was at least respectable in Raiders, in Last Crusade he's a bumbling oaf. The way they destroyed his character is one of the many legit flaws with Last Crusade. Hate Crystal Skull all you want, I'll probably agree with you in many respect but at least they gave a legit tribute to Marcus.
@@shriyansrai7427 Yes I do, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and I'm just stating my opinion like you are. Get over it.
Sala is my favorite Indiana Jones character. I was really happy that he returned for this movie too.
Chris’s love for the these films is infectious. 🥰
So glad to see someone appreciate greatly River Phoenix’s performance in this movie, very sad that we never got to see what he could have achieved.
Agreed. He had indys mannerisms, attitude and facial ticks down perfect.
His brother is a far better actor.
@@MideanStone his brother got to live a much longer life. There was a time Joaquin wasn't seen as that great. You can't know what River's career would have been, it was cut short.
My favorite River movie remains "Stand by me", but I'm a huge Stephen King fanboy so I might be biased there...
What? River Phoenix was HORRIBLE in this. "This should be in a museum" is one of the most cringeworthy lines I have ever heard.
😘 "That is how Austrians say goodbye"
- "And this is how we say goodbye in Germany Dr. Jones........👊
I like the austrian way better!
@@chrisn4315 So did I.
The chemistry between Indie,Henry, Marcus and Salah is brilliant.
Truly. Them riding off into the sunset at the end will forever be how I remember this trilogy ending.
River Phoenix was incredible in the opening
