    Thanks, Sheila Rose, it's nice to see a reactor just letting the story flow, rather than picking holes all the time - it's only meant to be fun.

    Sheila you sounded so defeated at about the 3:17 minute mark "Oh no, you're not going to make it." 😅 This is Indiana Jones, girl! He's _always_ going to make it. Also, I couldn't agree more with Sheila about the lighting, superb. Spielberg's production design in general is always so great. The sets in this film could not of been better, imo. Sheila, I also love the lighting in the bar in Nepal, especially when Indy comes into the bar, but the camera is focused on Marion, and we see Indy's shadow on the wall. Also, when the Gestapo agent, Major Toht, played by Ronald Lacey (actually a British actor), approaches Marion you can see the classic villain lighting with extreme shadows interspaced with light, across his face. A classic, but outstanding way of heightening the emotion! I could go on and on about the lighting, like when we first see Indy's face at the beginning, he whips the guy's hand who pulls the gun and Ford walks into the light with Williams' score emphatically saying dun dun dunnnn! Like saying: 'this is the man!', great intro! At the end, when Marion is tied up with Indy, and Indy tells Marion not to open her eyes, as she's listening, there's a bar of light just across her eyes, the rest of her face in shadow, as he's talking to her. Her blue eyes really stand out there. Obviously there are tons of great examples.
    I'm so glad you enjoyed this film, Sheila, it's definitely one of my favorites of all time. I wanted to become an archaeologist after seeing it, but I ended up getting a History degree with an Anthropology minor instead, with a specialization in Archaeology, which I absolutely love. Also, love Harrison Ford, definitely one of the best of all time! Looking forward to the next reaction Sheila!

    Sorry, but the bullwhip is not a rope. It's braided out of long leather strips (usually a strong leather like kangaroo). When you crack one, the wave traveling down the thong of the whip goes faster and faster until it hits over 700 mph. The crack you hear is literally a sonic boom. You do NOT want this weapon hitting you as it cracks. In the golden age of Hollywood, western stars and characters like Zorro used the whip to swing on objects as well (not recommended in the real world). Truly a great cinematic weapon/tool.

    The German Indy fights on the plane is PAT ROACH. HE was in the first 3 Indiana Jones movie's a clockwork Orange, Clash of the titans, Conan the destroyer, Red Sonya, Willow, Robin hood Prince of thieves, never say never again, the return of the musketeers, kull the conqueror. In the next movie TEMPLE OF DOOM he plays the bad guy (mine boss) indy fights in the mine near the end. Pat was in a UK show in the 80s called Auf weidersen per with Timothy spall and Christopher Fairbanks who also starred in some more Hollywood blockbusters.

    Re your question at 14:20 : Cairo of the 1980s had grown so much it no longer resembled Cairo of the 1930s, so most of the Egypt scenes were instead filmed in Tunisia (where the writer of "Raiders", George Lucas, had filmed "Star Wars" a couple years before, and so already had contacts there). Indeed, the canyon where Indy nearly destroys the Ark was also a filming location for the 1977 "Star Wars"! So it was filmed in North Africa, but a couple countries over.

    Fun Facts! The eyes on the idol in the beginning move. The effect didn't look great so it is only visible briefly as Indy approaches it - it watches him.
    Speaking of things that didn't work, the length of the staff was not a plot point in the original script, it was all about placing the stick in the right hole in the peg board on the floor. They decided this was too confusing so they changed it in post to being about the length of the staff.

  • @bossfan49

    That "machete" was actually a much bigger sword called a "scimitar". Indy could likely have beat him with the whip because of its reach advantage but he was too tired.

  • @mark37724
    @mark37724 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Well known trivia regarding the scene where Indy shoots the man with sword. There was a long elaborate fight scene scripted but Harrison showed up to set that day with, ahem, intestinal issues and suggested just shooting him to shorten the filming day.

    George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, Stephen Spielberg, John Williams and Harrison Ford. How can you go wrong? The greatest adventure film of all time, and one of the greatest in general.
    A few suggestions.. you left some key scenes out of the edited reaction, for example- the part at the open where he whips the gun out of the guy's hand just before he emerges from the shadow. And the stunt where he's dragged under and behind the truck. Viewers are going to complain and not return or subscribe when they see signature scenes like that missing. Also, try to keep them at no less than 40 minutes. I know sometimes that's tricky with clearing copyrights.

    I'm really enjoying your channel! I particularly like your style of not offering commentary every 20 seconds.
    However...I do have a suggestion:
    I'd like you to consider experimenting with another form of lighting.
    Todays cameras, (and phones) are well equipped to handle
    low-light situations.
    Please consider experimenting with some form of "soft lighting". Perhaps one or two well-placed lamps, that would highlight light the areas of your home (or yourself) that you wish to be seen. Maybe a few strategically placed candles.
    Also, it may be worth having a quick look at some of the other channels; just to get some ideas of how lighting can affect the look of your show.
    Again...I really enjoy watching your channel!
    Blessings.

Reading the Old Testament this morning and in second Samuel chapter 6 when King David was having the ark moved they put on an ox cart and as it wobbled one of the brothers helping transport it Uzzah reached and touched to steady it and God killed him on the spot because it was not to be touched, after that they used the poles on each side to carry it and careful not to touch it, thanks enjoy your reactions!

      The film is, " Witness " with Ford and Kelly McGillis and Danny Glover and it was filmed on location in Philadelphia and the surrounding Amish areas outside Lancaster County, PA....and it is a stunning crime drama with an excellent story, stellar acting all around a beautiful soundtrack and gorgeous cinematography. Ford should have won the Oscar for it. ( 1985 ) Filmed in 1984 I believe. A must watch piece of cinema.

It is said that these lions (two males) got 60-125 people and a good amount of the victims were taken out for sport... Not food. These lions weren't ordinary and they were extremely cunning, which natives thought they were possessed and im inclined to agree. Very underrated movie

    I can't wait for you to react to "Indiana jones and the temple of doom" (1984) which is even better and my favorite of the whole franchise ;)
    For me, it's the ultimate adventure film ^^
    But be aware it's way darker than the first one. It's even more like a horror movie in which they put Indy in. In fact, it was so violent it created the PG-13 rating that didn't exist before.
    Also, don't be surprised by the new Indy's love interest to be incompetent and the comic relief. It was a personal joke from Spielberg and Lucas to create the next female character to be the total opposite of Marion :)

    "Raiders of the Lost Ark": George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were on vacation when "what's next?" came up. Spielberg wanted to "do James Bond," but Lucas brought up the cliffhanger serial movies of the 1930's. With their second choice leading man, Harrison Ford got to create another iconic movie character. "Marion Ravenwood," Indy's equal, could drink a Neanderthal under the table, but remain all Woman. With enough stunt performances for THREE Action movies, this hit the box office like a huge bass drum. A generation of college students were convinced to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists. Yep, you could say I liked "Henry Jones, Jr." from the start.;) Would you like to play a 1992 LucasArts game? th-cam.com/video/LZZXJ3zCRDQ/w-d-xo.html

      Why does it make no sense? The movie was about Indiana Jones and the lost ark.
      They added "Indiana Jones" in 1999 to make it clear that the movie was part of the "Indiana Jones"
      franchise for people who were not around when the movie 1st came out. The 2 sequels that had come out both had "Indiana Jones" in the title, so they were being consistent by adding "Indiana Jones" to
      "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
      If you were not around when "Raiders of the Lost Ark" 1st came out and you just saw the title
      "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in a video store you might not have been aware it was an "Indiana Jones"

      a sound business reason behind the decision to do so. You can say you don't like why they did it,

      "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or it's "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"
      And you didn't answer my question which is WHY DOES IT BOTHER AND OFFEND YOU SO MUCH"??
      And since you gave the AFI example I will you an example. ON IMDB "Raiders" has a score of
      8.4 while "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" has a score of 8.2. That is not a gap of
      A COUNTRY MILE. Those scores are pretty close to each other. Critics/directors/ scholars/etc
      are not the only ones who have opinions on movies.
      But NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO with whether or not the change was made for
      NO REASON.
      BTW, "The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" is also known as "Star Wars Episode V- The Empire STRIKES
      BACK". THE Brand name in that case being "STAR WARS".
      But regardless of how the "Star Wars" franchise handled it, the fact remains that labeling all the films of a franchise under a brand name has been common practice.
      And so once again I ask, why does it offend you so much?
