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.
@@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
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
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.

@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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
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!!
@FORREST GUMP Well Forrest Gump isn't known for being the sharpest tool in the shed, so I guess it makes sense for someone named Forrest Gump to be a Trump supporter!
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
@@SolidPain6624 I couldn't care less if you agree with me, I will never think Last Crusade is anything more than a complete disaster. You go to bed now thinking that you're in with the "cool kids".
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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".
“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 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.
@@spaceace4387 Ever seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Or Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace? Or Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones? Or Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith?
@@Bartman1989-i2z Ummm all of those movies are better than Last Crusade. And Episode III is pretty damn good, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
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).
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.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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
@@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 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
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.
@@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.
”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 😀
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
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)
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.
@@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.
When it was released, it received somewhat mixed reviews, something in the lines of "it is good, but it is no Raiders, and even The Temple of Doom was better." I went to see it right away, and it won my heart instantly! What a wonderful movie, and what a COOL movie as well! One of my favorite movies ever, each time I see it I get the same feeling that I got some three decades ago!
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.
This movie has one of my all-time favorite moments of dialogue after the biplanes crashes. Henry: Those people are trying to kill us! Indy: I know, Dad! Henry: It's new experience for me. Indy (fixes his hat): Happens to me all the time.
@@maxshby8136 No one is getting worked up at all aside from you, all I asked was for someone to explain how that is a good line of dialogue. Your pathetic attempts at defending this trash movie are starting to get really desperate.
@@maxshby8136 So if you think I need to chill because I don't like this movie, maybe you should chill out with your blind, biased praise of this trash movie???? Apply the same standard to yourself and I don't think you'll like the outcome.
@Adrian You kidding? The characters had zero chemistry and they didn't do a single interesting thing with any of them. It tried to be this family soap opera but it failed miserably at it. That conversation Ford and Connery had on that stupid blimp was beyond painful to listen to, the acting was wrong, the dialogue was wrong everything about it was wrong. The first two are great but the 3rd has way too many plot holes, character flaws, lazy writing, bad pacing, bad acting, no character development for me to ignore. Last Crusade should have been given either an F or a Hilariocity.
This may sound strange and minor, but the villain in the “second intro” on the ship, “Panama Hat”, has the BEST VOICE. I only wish he did more work before he died. That guy could read the dictionary and I’d listen
Favourite line from the movie is, “Henry, let it go.” It’s pays off that great scene on the Hindenburg where Indy complains his Dad cared more about ancient dead people than him. When Henry Jones Sr has the chance to get the grail, he chooses his sons life over it.
@@bredrick. You have a strange definition of "heartfelt". I didn't feel any emotion at all because Spielberg did such a horrible job fleshing out these two characters, and it's quite odd because they are both very talented. But hey it happens, M. Night Shamaylan made Mark Whalberg look horrendous in The Happening and he was nominated for an Oscar 2 years prior.
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

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.
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.
No, that line made me cringe at how cliched it was. What's pathetic is Aladdin and the King of Thieves did the whole estranged father/son relationship so much better and that's a freaking straight to video Disney sequel.

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.

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.
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.
Raiders: Most action
Temple of Doom: Most violent
Last Crusade: Most Emotional
Crystal Skull: Nuking the fridge

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.

@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.
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
Well that does make sense
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

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".
“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.
You can say it's the "holy grail" Of the Indiana Jones movies!

@@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.
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).
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!

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.
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.
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
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.

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

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.
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.

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.
I always thought my Guidance Counselor was joking when he recommended "Rat Breeder for Film" as a legitimate career.
The exploration of indy's character and good balance between action and character is what makes this the best Indy film IMO
This movie has one of my all-time favorite moments of dialogue after the biplanes crashes.
Henry: Those people are trying to kill us!
Indy: I know, Dad!
Henry: It's new experience for me.
Indy (fixes his hat): Happens to me all the time.
I don't get it
@@spaceace4387 dude you need to chill lol
@@maxshby8136 No one is getting worked up at all aside from you, all I asked was for someone to explain how that is a good line of dialogue. Your pathetic attempts at defending this trash movie are starting to get really desperate.
@@spaceace4387 i havent commented on this vid at all except to tell you to chill
@@maxshby8136 So if you think I need to chill because I don't like this movie, maybe you should chill out with your blind, biased praise of this trash movie???? Apply the same standard to yourself and I don't think you'll like the outcome.
I always love it when he gives an A+ and then the angels sing.
"It`s a trilogy!" Right you are Mr. Stuckmann , right you are!
Still my favorite Indiana Jones film. This movie is truly brilliant.
You have very low standards.
@@spaceace4387 Agreed. LC is the worst of the trilogy.
@@sblagg527 wrong
@Adrian You kidding? The characters had zero chemistry and they didn't do a single interesting thing with any of them. It tried to be this family soap opera but it failed miserably at it. That conversation Ford and Connery had on that stupid blimp was beyond painful to listen to, the acting was wrong, the dialogue was wrong everything about it was wrong. The first two are great but the 3rd has way too many plot holes, character flaws, lazy writing, bad pacing, bad acting, no character development for me to ignore. Last Crusade should have been given either an F or a Hilariocity.
@@sblagg527 Absolutely, I would even argue it's worse than Crystal Skull. Why anyone likes this garbage is beyond me.
When Chris yelled " I KNOW DAD!!" I added "Happens to me all the time." Last Crusade is such a great movie 💪
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"
This may sound strange and minor, but the villain in the “second intro” on the ship, “Panama Hat”, has the BEST VOICE. I only wish he did more work before he died. That guy could read the dictionary and I’d listen
I love the part where Hitler signs his autograph. One of the best jokes in cinema
Favourite line from the movie is, “Henry, let it go.” It’s pays off that great scene on the Hindenburg where Indy complains his Dad cared more about ancient dead people than him. When Henry Jones Sr has the chance to get the grail, he chooses his sons life over it.
That was the most predictable and cliched ending they could have come up with. I knew that was going to happen 30 minutes in.
@@spaceace4387 Perhaps, but it is quite heartfelt.
@@bredrick. You have a strange definition of "heartfelt". I didn't feel any emotion at all because Spielberg did such a horrible job fleshing out these two characters, and it's quite odd because they are both very talented. But hey it happens, M. Night Shamaylan made Mark Whalberg look horrendous in The Happening and he was nominated for an Oscar 2 years prior.
@@spaceace4387 you are very convincing, i'm sure you would have made a better indiana jones movie than spielberg
@@AntonioGazzaneo91 Michael Bay could have made a better Indiana Jones movie than Last Crusade. (Raiders and Temple no way)
Don’t know if you know, but apparently the hat flying off was totally an accident and they just kept it in the cut cause it was so good!
Me getting in the slower checkout line: "You have chosen...poorly"
"I've got my mother's ears, but the rest is all yours" LOL
Tasha Child Of The Most High God I still use this to pick up the ladies...
🤣🤣🤣
The speed that they say these lines almost makes me feel like they're reciting lines from another movie that exists in their or our universe.
I went straight to Netflix and put on Last Crusade after watching this.
For some reason, Netflix here only has Temple of Doom...
Really any of the three would be fine as the only one on Netflix. Thank god they never made a bad one. Just three good ones. Three.
Why would you do that? Last Crusade sucks
@@spaceace4387 🤡
@eating sugar no papa that isnt the best one.
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
It's so freaking hard to choose between this and Raiders for me!!!
Raiders is perfect and will always be my favorite but Crusade is just fantastic and really explores Indy as a character in a new way
the ending of Raiders is boring as hell
utbplay can’t say the same about the beginning tho 😉
Yeah that’s why I go with Raiders is the best Film, but Crusade is my favorite.
@@utbplay the ending of Raiders is a masterpiece.

"Jaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy"
Why were Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, and Nathan Drake depressed?
Their careers were in ruins.
💥👈😙👉💥
Nathan drake got it good compared to Joel..
Oh thought it was because they all daddy issues
@@DrViperVideos Until Naughty Dog decides to make another Uncharted and kill off Drake within the first hour of the game by some tank of a woman, and then force you to play as her for half of the game. IGN - 10/10
@@DrViperVideos He got it good compared to almost anybody.
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.
It was the final Indiana Jones and you can’t convince me otherwise.
I agree.. Just like terminator 2 was the last terminator for me
Uncommon damn right on indy and terminator
Uncommon and dont forget Aliens
It even has "last" on it's name
@Thomas Elder Crystal Skull is a turd, Temple of Doom is a Classic, time has spoken already
Best line: "I like the Austrian way better."
Big time!! Haha!
I like how Donovan turns into Doc Brown before he dies.
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.
Does anybody else get the feels when they see the scene with Connery reaching his hand out and gently saying "Indiana" ?
Gets me every time.
Yeah, it's a great moment. It's all about Connery's delivery; he's says it in such a loving, gentle, fatherly way.
No, that line made me cringe at how cliched it was. What's pathetic is Aladdin and the King of Thieves did the whole estranged father/son relationship so much better and that's a freaking straight to video Disney sequel.
The knight looks so sad when he’s waving at them. I always feel bad for him.
I know, seven hundred years guarding the grail to see it lost and the place destroyed in an instant.
I always wondered how he was gonna fix up the place afterwards
I always thought the knight looked creepy he always scared me as a kid, he was like a ghost 👻 or something
Me too.
I always took that look as him finally having to face death after hundreds of years of living.
Steven Spielberg also considers Last Crusade his favorite Indy film, like you do Chris
It's my favorite as well
eating sugar no papa I don’t think he ever will lmaoo
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
