Having been to the Treasury building in Petra (the location of the grail), I can say that it’s very much a sight to behold. If anyone should ever find themselves in Jordan, do what you can to visit. You walk down the remnants of a Roman road to get to the bottom of the valley and there’s quite a lot to see on the way as well. I actually didn’t know this site was in Jordan until a coworker asked if I was going to make a trip out to see it. With that said, the outside is all you get. It’s actually a tomb with guards at all the entrances.
My favorite young Indy quote is "EVERYONE IS LOST BUT ME!" My favorite quote I always use still "NOW WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE!?!?" RIP Sean Connery, Denholm Elliot and River Phoenix.
Having Sallah back was a great treat. Happy 78th Birthday to him [05/05]! It's also great to see Sir Sean Connery in a comedic role. He's really good at being funny. 🤡
In the library scene, when you mentioned Elsa falling 100 feet when Indy lowers her down I thought, "What terrific foreshadowing." Another favorite moment and very tender is when Sean Connery calmly and fatherly calls him "Indiana" instead of Junior when he convinces him to let go of the Grail and grab his hand. Tear.
Love your thoughtful reactions Madison. You set yourself apart from the other movie reactors by being more literate, cultured and drawn to the deeper moral and philosophical themes explored in films. And yet you can totally appreciate light-hearted banter, situational comedy and thrilling action. In a word, wholesome! Looking forward to your next reaction. BTW, the opening scene was filmed at the Arches National Park (Utah) named after those amazing stone arches.
I think the actress in that one kind of killed the vibe, and the addition of the kid was a bit too try hard, even for Spielberg. Still a fun film. This is possibly the best due to Connery, and I love Denholm Elliot's part. Generally more humorous, and Nazis are always a favourite whipping boy.
# 2 is far inferior. Gratuitous gore, though the word “gore” is probably hyperbolic. I just can’t think of a less hyperbolic synonym. It’s too early in the morning.
@@Cheepchipsable That actress, Kate Capshaw, might have killed the vibe for the movie, but she put the vibes in Spielberg. They got married in Oct '91.
My favorite pet ever was a rat. They are amazingly clean and preen themselves like a cat. My dominant rat Athena was a better mouser than any cat I've seen. Not only was she territorial and aggressive, she could follow the mice through places a cat couldn't fit. When I'd get home from work she'd come running to the door and climb up onto my shoulders. If I left my computer on she'd run back and forth on the keyboard then stare at the screen as if she were proofreading her typing. I had a large male boxer named Bull and tried to introduce them so that he could be in the house without hurting her. Turned out she just ignored the dog and went about her business. He got upset and barked at her, BIG MISTAKE! She jumped on his head and started ripping out hair, he ran yelping around the house till I caught him and pulled her off. He wouldn't come in the house after that. It was ridiculous, an 80 pound dog terrified of a 2 pound rat. When she passed I couldn't bring myself to try and replace her. She was just too special.
🎯At 31:00 the exit they are leaving through is called the Siq (pronounced "seek")and the building facade in the background is called The Treasury. It's in the present day city of Petra, in southern Jordan. Its ancient named is Bozra. I was fortunate enough to visit there on my last tour of Israel. Fun to know I stood in that area, and walked through the length of the Siq where that final scene was shot.
Not a blimp. A blimp is a soft-bodied lighter-than-air vessel, basically a balloon filled with a light gas that maintains its shape from the pressure of the gas within. This is a dirigible (German Zeppelin), which has a frame structure supporting the shape of the vessel, gondola, inner access walkways, engine nacelles, and other things. It's much larger and rigid. And how is it he checks his Webley revolver by opening it and there aren't even spent brass casings in the chambers? Only way that would happen is if he ejected all the casings himself... but, you know... Hollywood...
The young Indy is played by River Phoenix, who basically was 90´s Leonardo DiCaprio in the '80s. You have to check him out in Stand By Me. Tragically, he died of an overdose in 93 in The Viper Room, a club partly owned at the time by Johnny Depp. His brother Leaf was with him. Leaf is now better known as Joaquin Phoenix.
The chemistry between Connery and Ford makes this the best of the 'trilogy plus one'. By the 4th, many commenters seem to agree the concept had worn thin and Spielberg had finally gotten his tribute to the matinee cliffhanger genre which inspired his youthful movie-making ambitions out of his system. Indiana Jones, Nevada Smith, Tennessee Williams, Minnesota Fats, Jersey Joe Walcott, Washington Irving, Mississippi John Hurt (the bluesman not the actor), Louisiana May Alcott ... oops, what? Must be an American thing, state nicknames. Ontario O'Hara, East Anglia Eastwood, Queensland McQueen anyone? Another enjoyable reaction romp from Madison. Keep nailin' 'em, girl.
Your channel is growing and really hitting its stride, Madison. Your content is super unique in that you know what a Wilhelm scream or who John Rhys-Davies is but react to these classic movies with the wonder of someone watching them for the first time. You have great timing too. _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_ was released 33 Memorial Day weekends ago. Keep these wonderful videos coming!
The swastika is a very ancient symbol. Up until about a year ago you could see it all over Japan in Google Maps denoting temple locations. They finally changed it to a pagoda symbol. I'm sure other maps still use it.
This was filmed in Moab Utah and arches national park. This is my back yard, so was really excited when this came out. The fact it started here made it a good movie, everything else that happened made it a great movie!
I loved the Indiana Jones movies growing up, and I used to pretend to be him. I played the theme song in band for years. I did the financial reporting for the entire franchise when I worked at Paramount Pictures. TOD sucks.
Maybe it's just a matter of having grown up when these movies were coming out, but I can't imagine not being interested in them or feeling like everything in the series should be watched and in sequential order. The full impact of this movie comes from having seen those two, especially when they were so far apart. I don't get it. This kind of action and adventure wasn't everywhere back then, either. Now it is in dozens of clone films and TV series.
@@BDogg2023 Tell me what is so bad about Temple of Doom? They actually took risks with that film and made very dark and ballsy film. It wasn't safe bet and more or less a copycat of Raiders like Crusade.
@@JohnSmith-jn7nc I'm not a big fan of it either. Much of it is just silly and unrealistic. Especially all the mind reading and hypnotism. Also quite gross in some parts.
This is the best of the Indy films. As you said, I always liked the true-to-life portrayal of the kind of cup that the Lord would have had. You're right, it wasn't what humanity expected. The world seeks after its worldly riches while true riches may be found in service and humility.
@@CheepchipsableFrom Wikipedia: "The Last Supper took place in what is today called The Room of the Last Supper on Mount Zion, just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, and is traditionally known as The Upper Room. This is based on the account in the Synoptic Gospels that states that Jesus had instructed two disciples (Luke 22:8 specifies that Jesus sent Peter and John) to go to "the city" to meet "a man carrying a jar of water", who would lead them to a house, where they would find "a large upper room furnished and ready". In this upper room they "prepare the Passover"." Therefore the room was prepared with furniture etc by the man with the jar of water but it was the two disciples who set the table and they would have done so according to how they knew Jesus would want. They knew he wouldn't want expensive, flashy stuff and would want simple stuff so that's what they would put out. Therefore Indy's rationale is perfectly spot on.
That's one of the many things I love about this movie. Is now you know why he has a scar on his chin. Why he uses the whip .Why he hates snakes. And how he came to have the hat. And why he's called Indiana. That little opening sequence answered alot of questions. I love the Indiana Jones movies. I even liked the crystal skull. Probably even better than the temple of doom . But this was my favorite and of course the raiders . Then Crystal skull then the temple.
I think that is Monument Valley in Northern Arizona, home of the Superstition Mountains. I painted it once. Many stories of lost treasure there. A fun read to look up
The first and third Indiana Jones movies go well together. For another great Sean Connery movie definitely do "The Hunt for Red October". If you like westerns and I suspect you do, should do the Clint Eastwood classic Spaghetti Westerns trilogy starting with "A Fistful Of Dollars" (1964). These were a gritty departure from the style of westerns made the US up to then, and then there's that awesome music score! ✌😎
Here's what really saddens me: 1989: "Oh my God, they got River Phoenix to play young Indiana Jones!" 2022: "Who's that kid who looks like Leonardo DiCaprio playing young Indiana Jones?"
Great movie, great cast. As far as 'immortality' scientists have discovered that our cells are programmed to die after a certain number of times replicating and if that trigger in our DNA can be turned off it will in fact be possible to be immortal and young forever. It seems like science fiction even now but this is not impossible by any measure. Cool reaction Madison, love this movie.
@@monkeyzorr3090 How horrible would it be to finally perfect that technology and then a new Hitler come to power and live nearly forever. I agree it is against nature.
You can take a ride on the circus train, although there aren't any animals on the real one. It's called the Cumbres & Toltec Narrow Gauge Railway and it runs between Antonito in southwestern Colorado and Chama, New Mexico. It takes you through breathtaking scenery on a most-of-a-day run, and then you get back by bus in a little over an hour. I've ridden it twice now, once in each direction. I'd happily do it again if I'm ever in the vicinity.
This movie had two ranking officers of the Galactic Empire in this. 1) Admiral Ozzel (Empire Strikes Back) - Hitler 2) General Veers (Empire Strikes Back) - Donovan
George Lucas didn't have a Collie, he had an Alaskan Malamute named Indiana who always used to sit in the passenger seat of his Jeep whenever he would drive anywhere. Lucas based Chewbacca on his dog, and named Indiana Jones after his dog.
The part about Indiana being the dog, and George Lucas had a dog named Indiana is true. It's also where Lucas got the idea for Chewbacca in Star Wars. When George Lucas was younger and drove around his small home town, Indiana would sit in the passenger seat and be his co-pilot.
I believe the ancient swastikas were generally left-handed, used to depict the four winds and the counter-clockwise turning of the Earth, with the pole at the center.
HEy Madison I see you loved to delve into the adventures of a young Indiana Jones aka River Phoniex. The origins of many of the Indy's traits, predilections, and phobias are on full display in this amazing intro scene with Indy trying to keep the Celtic Religious cross from falling into the hands of a private collector.
Some movie suggestions: Oliver Stone Movies: JFK, Wall Street, The Doors. Milos Forman movies: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Amadeus. Stanley Kubrick movies: A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr Strangelove. 2001: A Space Odyssey. Other movies: Seven, Silence of the Lambs, In Cold Blood, The Elephant Man, Flatliners, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Body Heat.
People assume that immortality is not possible when in fact it is. The human soul is immortal though it must move from incarnation to incarnation! I remember bits and pieces of former lifetimes as do many other people!
Loved your reaction and thoughts as always!! Thanks! How do you think was the quality of the horse riding of the actors and stunt-personel in this one? Since you know about horse riding, it would be cool to hear some comment about it, when you have something to comment and when the movie warrants it. Just an idea since I am curious.
No complaints about the horse riding in this movie! I notice when it’s bad, and there wasn’t anything that bothered me in this one. I’m actually impressed by the amount of riding Harrison seems to do himself.
You know in trilogies and such maybe you could ask in the polls which trilogies to watch, and which movies within the trilogy to watch and in which order... Just an idea to throw at you...
Another of the great Indiana Jones movies. I am surprised that you chose to go from ' The Ark Of The Covenant ' and skipped over The Temple Of Doom! ' A wonderful video as always. Have a great day, take care!
LOVED your reaction, Madison. I found myself watching your expressions more than the movie itself! ALSO...I just watched a movie from 1953 called SMALL TOWN GIRL, and third billed was Ann Miller...and I said to myself: Ann Miller looks just like Madison Thames! How is your book coming, by the way? (I just hired an editor for mine = )
It's kind of funny because when I was 16 I didn't have much faith in The Last Crusade going by the trailer. I could write forever about this but I'll just say it ended up being one of favorite movies of all time. And would be my favorite Indy film if I didn't love Raiders soo much.
You are the only young woman who did not act shocked or disgusted when Sean reveals he was intimate with Elsa, yet the same critics never stress the age gap in the High Noon stars who allegedly had a brief affair in real life. Must be a US thing:at least two people did call me a pervert when I was 30 and my girlfriend 25 in San Josè. Only young high school sweethearts are Kosher? Great reaction and character insight.
The Nazi swastika bends to the right. The Buddhist symbol, which is thousands of years old, bends to the left. It may have been used in other religions as well, seeing as it’s so old.
@@exhistoriascientia Ancient Christian? 😂😂😂 Bud, this symbol is over 3,000 years old. That’s over 1,000 B.C. That stands for “Before Christ.” A simple google search could have saved you the embarrassment of exposing your Christian centrist brainwashing. Don’t feel bad…I grew up under the thumb of that propaganda, too. There is hope for you.
@@BDogg2023 Actually, it was you that exposed your bias and possibly your poor English comprehension. I didn't deny the use of the symbol in other cultures, merely pointed out the origin of the symbol as used by the Nazis. By the way, for the record I'm an atheist.
You get more and more adorable with each reaction you do! That was so fun to experience that movie again with you. FUN FACT - when George Lucas helped his buddy Francis Ford Coppola, to make the famous movie APOCALYPSE NOW, Harrison Ford has a cameo appearance as an Officer named....LUCAS. watch for it when ever you decide to watch that movie on your channel. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
We are probably going to achieve a form of immortality within the next 20 years. With the exponential explosion of computer capabilities we should be able to download a copy of ourself into data. The catch is that the copy will live forever - the original will still die.
You should watch "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984)" and "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)" , I like most the "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
While I love Indiana Jones the character, I can't help but have some weird feelings about the start of this movie. Indy basically killed like 10 crew members on the boat for a cross that should be in a museum?
I always feel sorry for the Knight. Sits there for a thousand years and then these assholes turn up and wreck his house in ten minutes.
Can you imagine how bored he must have been in there?
Honestly, trading a home on earth for a home in Heaven sounds like a good trade off to me.
Hope he had a broom...
It's a real treat watching an intelligent reactor who has obvious insight into the mechanics of story telling. Keep up the great work, Madison.
Madison shills for The Daily Wire, FYI.

fascinating. I'm planning a trip to Isreal, this sounds like a worthy stop.
💯 guaranteed: if a character in anything says, "don't trust *anyone* " they will later betray the hero and say, "I _told_ you not to trust anyone."
And if someone says 'trust me' in real life.

You could always include this in your comments at the end of a film when it's suitable ;)
To avoid disease, Spielberg had the rats bred specifically FOR the movie, prior to the movie’s filming.
You know in trilogies and such maybe you could ask in the polls which trilogies to watch, and which movies within the trilogy to watch and in which order...
Just an idea to throw at you...
Love the trilogy,this is the one i watch most,great work!
Did you skip 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"?...
This is the 3rd film, what happened to Temple of Doom? the second film?
Loved your reaction and how you were able to use the Bible references that the story contained. Really liked your jacket too, very cool.
He is coming out with another one .
Never heard of the Wilhelm scream. It sounded like Lando's scream when that creature (forgot the name) grabbed his leg in ROTJ.
It's a running gag for sound people to slip it in to movies for decades, it's in hundreds of movies including the Sarlacc scene you reference.
Hi and Thank You Madison Thames!
"We named the dog Indiana!"
RATS? Everybody has something they don't care for. Good job Madison
I love the disgusted look on your face after the rich guy's line when he shot Sean Connery. 😄
Another of the great Indiana Jones movies.
I am surprised that you chose to go from ' The Ark Of The Covenant ' and skipped over
The Temple Of Doom! '
A wonderful video as always.
Have a great day, take care!
LOVED your reaction, Madison. I found myself watching your expressions more than the movie itself! ALSO...I just watched a movie from 1953 called SMALL TOWN GIRL, and third billed was Ann Miller...and I said to myself: Ann Miller looks just like Madison Thames! How is your book coming, by the way? (I just hired an editor for mine = )
Isn't watching the reactor the point of these channels?
It's kind of funny because when I was 16 I didn't have much faith in The Last Crusade going by the trailer. I could write forever about this but I'll just say it ended up being one of favorite movies of all time. And would be my favorite Indy film if I didn't love Raiders soo much.
You are the only young woman
who did not act shocked or
disgusted when Sean reveals
he was intimate with Elsa, yet
the same critics never stress the age gap in the High Noon
stars who allegedly had a brief
affair in real life. Must be a US
thing:at least two people did
call me a pervert when I was 30 and my girlfriend 25 in San
Josè. Only young high school
sweethearts are Kosher? Great
reaction and character insight.
Great reaction again👏. But why did you skip Temple of Doom? Absolutely the most entertaining movie of the series.
The Nazi swastika bends to the right. The Buddhist symbol, which is thousands of years old, bends to the left. It may have been used in other religions as well, seeing as it’s so old.
It is an ancient Christian symbol, a stylized broken cross. The Nazis incorporated lots of Christian symbolism into some of their beliefs.
@@exhistoriascientia Ancient Christian? 😂😂😂 Bud, this symbol is over 3,000 years old. That’s over 1,000 B.C. That stands for “Before Christ.” A simple google search could have saved you the embarrassment of exposing your Christian centrist brainwashing. Don’t feel bad…I grew up under the thumb of that propaganda, too. There is hope for you.
@@BDogg2023 Actually, it was you that exposed your bias and possibly your poor English comprehension. I didn't deny the use of the symbol in other cultures, merely pointed out the origin of the symbol as used by the Nazis. By the way, for the record I'm an atheist.
I can't wait for Indiana Jones 5
Hey Madison, I'm really enjoying your channel. Great job. Just curious, are you a fellow Coloradan?
Hey Christian, glad you're enjoying my reactions. I'm an Alabamian : )
@@MadisonKThames I heard you reference the garden of the gods so I was just wondering.
I love your reaction ♥
I would love to see your reaction to the light-hearted movie What About Bob. It would be a nice bookend for Grownhog Day.
Best Indiana Jones movie, such a great film and cast.
Madison where are you from? I almost get a Baltimore vibe?
You get more and more adorable with each reaction you do! That was so fun to experience that movie again with you.
FUN FACT - when George Lucas helped his buddy Francis Ford Coppola, to make the famous movie APOCALYPSE NOW, Harrison Ford has a cameo appearance as an Officer named....LUCAS. watch for it when ever you decide to watch that movie on your channel. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
We are probably going to achieve a form of immortality within the next 20 years. With the exponential explosion of computer capabilities we should be able to download a copy of ourself into data. The catch is that the copy will live forever - the original will still die.
only James Bond could be the dad of Indianna Jones! 😀😃😄😁
You should watch "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984)" and "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)" , I like most the "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
Elsa! Let it go 🎶 let it go... 🎵
Indiana Jones 4 and 5 are good different and marian comes back in the last two
9:27 - lol
Filmed in Utah
Thanks!
Thank you, Jesse!💛
While I love Indiana Jones the character, I can't help but have some weird feelings about the start of this movie. Indy basically killed like 10 crew members on the boat for a cross that should be in a museum?
I WAS the next guy, Dad!
This was the first Indiana Jones film to be rated PG-13.
