Connery loved this part because it was a perfect spoof of his suave James Bond image. People usually talk about acting "chemistry" when it is man/woman, but I think Harrison Ford & Sean Connery had a great chemistry which "made" the movie.
Absolutely. It also works as a sort of double reference since the whole reason Indiana Jones exists in the first place is because Spielberg wanted to make a James Bond movie but couldn't, so with Lucas' help they adapted the story he had in mind into what became Raiders of the Lost Ark. That made James Bond the spiritual father of Indiana Jones already, Indy being an adaptation of Bond. So when it came time to cast Indy's father, getting Sean Connery was just perfect.
This is my favourite of the Indiana Jones movies. It was such a wonderful ending for the character as well. Riding off into the sunset was perfect. I wish they'd have let it remain that.
@@brandonhill2183 sorry, I stand corrected. That's not the original Indiana. Lucas did have an Alaskan Malamute who was named Indiana and inspiration behind Chewie. That dog was more a homage.
and "собака" is Russian for "Dog", swap that soft "S" at the start for a "C" and you got Chewbacca! That said, Han is clearly the dog in that relationship, Chewie is just really lenient with his pets.
In my head, I like to imagine that guy actually had a boring-ass career with very little adventure and only dressed like that because he needed the leather for the desert. It's probably not true, but I like to think it is.
The father/son dynamic is what makes this my favorite of the series, and Sean Connery plays the doddering father just perfectly. And how can you not love having James Bond in an Indiana Jones movie?? I also think Indy's students were crowding him because they have questions and he's never around
As a complement to this film, I'd recommend "The Rocketeer". The director of that film worked on Raiders in the effects department. He also directed "Captain America: The First Avenger" (Hence the Red Skull's line about the Fuhrer digging for trinkets in the desert). They all share that WWII setting with sci-fi elements. The Mummy trilogy with Brendan Fraser have a lot in common with these movies too.
"The Mummy" pays homage to the Indiana Jones movies. Remember when John Rhys-Davies' character says, "There IS no museum of antiquities"? Guess where Evie works in the first Mummy film.
@@johnhuffman9533 Keep in mind that the first 2 Mummy movies are set earlier than the Indy movies. If they were in the same universe (which I could totally believe), the order would be Mummy 1 and 2, Indy 2, 1, and 3, Mummy 3, Indy 4 And if The Rocketeer was in that universe, it would actually take place the same year as Indy 3, 1938. Which makes me wonder if they could feature the same zeppelin? Also, both films feature an ex-Bond

@@bobbwc7011 Classified as a rigid airship, a zeppelin technically has to be produced by Germany's ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik in order to qualify as one. An airship is a gas-filled aircraft that's powered, steerable and lighter than air. Blimps and zeppelins are both airships, one semi-rigid, the other fully rigid.
@@gawainethefirst - I was thinking more about the time he landed on a taxiway and almost took the vertical stabiliser off a B737 that was holding short...
I have been such a fan of these films, seeing all of them in the theater in their first release. When I was in high school, this one came out...and a chance to see two of my top 5 favorite actors doing a film together was enough to melt my brain! I was so giddy to see this one, I saw it four times in the theater within the first 3 weeks of release, including opening night. Anyway, great fun as always, Nat!!! - River Phoenix, prior to doing this film, played Harrison Ford's son in a film called 'The Mosquito Coast'...which is why River was able to pull off so many of Ford's mannerisms as Young Indy. - Walter Donovan is played by Julian Glover...who has been in Star Wars (Empire specifically as General Veers, the commander of the AT-AT attack on Hoth), a James Bond film (as a villain named Kristatos in the Roger Moore Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only') and, most recently, he played Grand Maester Pycelle in 'Game of Thrones'.
Actually what we saw was a dirigible, which had a rigid frame. Blimps are non-rigid and usually much smaller. Dirigible air travel was a thing for a while. Helium was non-flammable, but more rare & expensive, so may airlines used hydrogen instead. What really killed dirigibles was their vulnerability to weather. The US Navy lost at least two large airships to severe weather, with multiple fatalities both times. In fact (if memory serves) the Navy lost more men in those two accidents than the Hindenburg incident.
Only one person actually died in the Hindenburg incident! And the only reason it was filled with hydrogen was because the US had the vast majority of the world's supply of helium. They refused to sell to Germany in the 30s because it was a strategic resource. For military airships. Which played such and important role in WWII. 🙄
Young Indiana was played by Joaquin Phoenix's brother River Phoenix who sadly died only 4 years later of a drug overdose. Along with John Belushi and Heath Ledger they are some of the greatest, most tragic losses to the film industry I've ever seen.
Passengers riding on dirigibles was a thing, but there were several accidents (some that didn't involve hydrogen and fire) that killed the concept. The tower on top of the Empire State Building was going to be a dirigible docking port where passengers would embark and disembark with elevators going up to a restaurant and lounge for the passengers.
Supposedly the idea to have Phoenix play the younger version of Indy came from his playing Harrison Ford's son in The Mosquito Coast a few years earlier.
@@tropicalcatdetective And also because River used to mimic Harrison a lot during filming of The Mosquito Coast, so he knew a lot of his mannerisms and facial expressions off by heart.
I just realized a new generational marker. Do you think of Joaquin as River's brother or River as Joaquin's brother? Who comes to mind first? For me, it's River. Joaquin can be dancing down the stairs, and my brain will still go "River's brother is dancing down the stairs."
@UNSUNG ARMORY According to the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, linguists believe the word Eskimo actually came from the French word esquimaux, meaning one who nets snowshoes.

I think you’d also enjoy “the Mummy”, “The Mummy Returns”, and “National Treasure”. Also, the first two episodes of season 5 of the TV series MacGyver, Mac also goes on a search for the Holy Grail. They are the best two episodes of the series imho.
The shells that the tank was firing were high capacity explosive rounds. Jamming a rock in the barrel would cause the shot to prematurely detonate before exiting when it hit the rock.
yes and no. It's a barrel obstruction. When the round hits the stone blocking the barrel it also causes the gas pressure to build up instead of pushing the round out of the gun, and venting behind it. Then the critical failure happens and the gun barrel splits. that must have been a gun from the last war with metal fatigue because it blew parts back into the gunner. That should not have happened. The barrel will fail before the breach block does.
And Indy's "full" name is Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr., born July 1, 1899... his middle name is stated at the beginning of the first episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Walton is also Lucas' middle name.
@@ARC5555Fives Chewbacca was in inspired by the dog Indiana. George Lucas said Indiana rode with him in the vehicle like a co-pilot. So he invented Chewbacca.
Haha, you're right. I remember seeing that on some of the promo material back in the day. I vaguely recall another tagline for this film was "Have the adventure of your life keeping up with the Joneses." Maybe it was used when it came out in the video stores or something like that?
That circus train is called the Cumbres & Toltec; it runs from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico and is an amazing tourist experience. (I've ridden it twice.) Oh, and the Jones house is (or at least was) a B&B in Antonito.
I remember back in 1990, I was really disappointed when Sean Connery wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. His work with little gestures and facial expressions gives his character more depth than any backstory exposition ever could. And his chemistry with Harrison Ford is pretty much perfect; charming, endearing and top notch comedic timing. At least, that's my opinion.
@@Linerunner99 Not _likely_ but Peter Sellers, Goldie Hawn, Madeleine Khan, and Robert Downey Jr. all received Oscar nominations for their comedy performances. Jack Palance won (for CITY SLICKERS). Comedic roles _can_ win Oscars, albeit unlikely. Moreover, when the role hits you with some serious emotion ("Indiana. Let it go.") thanks to a great performance, it gets noticed.
Tbf Connery won it for The Untouchables, when he was just being him. If you really want to see him act, watch The Offence or The Hill; he is tremendous in those.
@@shugaroony I vote for ROBIN AND MARIAN, 1976. Yes, it's a rom-com. However, Audrey Hepburn and Connery are excellent and surpass the material. Plus, that cast! Hepburn, Connery, Robert Shaw (JAWS), Denholm Elliot ("Marcus" again!), Ian Holm (LotR), Nicol Williamson (EXCALIBUR), Richard goddamn Harris! A hidden gem, IMO.
@@AngeloBarovierSD Robin and Marion is something I need to rewatch as I can't remember much about it. I think it takes a look at an ageing hero though with all that entails, and apparently is very good. I need to look it out. Jesus, that is one hell of a cast. My mum and dad knew Nicol Williamson for a while speaking of him (fine character actor too). Harris was always worth a watch, and Shaw was always electrifying on screen. Think I'll check it out over the weekend!
Hey Natalie, great reaction. But remember in Raiders, Indy did not see what happened when the Ark was opened, he only saw the aftermath, as he and Marian had to close their eyes to survive. I would say he felt it, but did not see it.
Inside joke ... "That's the cup of a carpenter." Before he became an actor, Harrison Ford was a professional carpenter :-) Request for movies ... Highlander (1986) The Untouchables (1987) They Live (1988) The Hunt For Red October (1990) The Jackal (1997) Wishmaster (1995) Excalibur (1981)
The "no ticket" line, from when Indy knocked that guy out of the blimp, was parodied quote nicely in Dogma. You might want to consider doing reactions to the View Askew movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). A loosely connected universe with running gags, loads of pop culture references, and a Stan Lee cameo.
The scene after the tank goes over the cliff, I think, is always gonna be aimed at sons and fathers. Especially the older ones where men were told to keep it inside and dont show a lot of emotion. Only in the relief his son was alive did Henry Jones Sr. allow himself a few moments to show any affection to his son.
Tyler your editing is great. Your better half is a pleasure to watch and laugh with but your work behind the scenes foreshadows what a great team you made together, and a greater union that is evident. Thank you both for such great content. God bless you both..

My favorite lines are: "Those people are trying to kill us!" "I know, dad!" "Well, this is a new experience for me." "Happens to me all the time." Although they played father and son, Connery and Ford are only 12 years apart in age.
This one has a special place in my heart. Mostly because the themes around Indy and his father remind me of my relationship with my dad (RIP). This one is my favorite of the series.
I believe , that this was another homage to the B-movies of the 40s where this is exactly how the scene would have been filmed with planes flying and no wind .
Another bit of foreshadowing I've never noticed until just now: "We're only one step away." "That's usually when the ground falls out from underneath your feet."
"Wait? Is he & his father Eskimo Brothers? Ewww!" I was SO waiting to see if Natalie would say that! (or at least, use the term) Also, as cool (tense/funny) as the Hitler encounter was, I always thought, "WOW! That book just became worth 1,000 times more valuable as a rare collectible now!" lol
"Oh he called him by his real name!" Yeah, about that. Fun fact, at Disneyland if you rode the train (before the redid everything for Star Wars land), right before the tunnel and train station at Toon Town, there was an unassuming dog house on the side of the track with a bunch of other crap. Faded red letters over the door said, "Indy." A little nod to the end of this film.
I just lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. Watching you react at the end where his dad calls him Indiana made me tear up. I was also a bit estranged from my dad but in the end I called him and talked to him before he died.
I would love you to watch "the Crow" 1993. A fantastic dark and romantic superhero/comic book adaptation that tragically (and ironically) claimed the life of Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, during filming. the film is dark and beautiful and I would really like to see you enjoy it.
* That guy at the beginning of the film that was dressed like Indy(the one that we all thought was Indy at first) was actually "Abner Ravenwood"(Marion Ravenwood's father). He doesn't see him again until he takes Abner's "Archaeology 101" class in 1922. Then he received his Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics and Archaeology in 1926. He then left Marion and Abner, to go to the University of Paris, getting his Master's Degree in Archaeology in 1929, and finally his Doctorate in Archaeology in 1932.

It's not a blimp, it's not an airship, it's a Zeppelin! A Zeppelin! (Tss-eh-pell-ean)
@@bobbwc7011 Classified as a rigid airship, a zeppelin technically has to be produced by Germany's ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik in order to qualify as one. An airship is a gas-filled aircraft that's powered, steerable and lighter than air. Blimps and zeppelins are both airships, one semi-rigid, the other fully rigid.
Seeing River Phoenix on screen always makes me happy and really sad at the same time.

I have been such a fan of these films, seeing all of them in the theater in their first release. When I was in high school, this one came out...and a chance to see two of my top 5 favorite actors doing a film together was enough to melt my brain! I was so giddy to see this one, I saw it four times in the theater within the first 3 weeks of release, including opening night. Anyway, great fun as always, Nat!!!
- River Phoenix, prior to doing this film, played Harrison Ford's son in a film called 'The Mosquito Coast'...which is why River was able to pull off so many of Ford's mannerisms as Young Indy.
- Walter Donovan is played by Julian Glover...who has been in Star Wars (Empire specifically as General Veers, the commander of the AT-AT attack on Hoth), a James Bond film (as a villain named Kristatos in the Roger Moore Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only') and, most recently, he played Grand Maester Pycelle in 'Game of Thrones'.
What a fun, quotable movie: "Sallah, that's five camels, I said NO camels! Can't you count?"
"What happened that he's now scared of snakes?!"
Wait for iiiiiiiitttttt
Is that a thing people used to do?
*Cuts to Hindenburg burning*
I'm dead
No, but they are. 😔

Actually what we saw was a dirigible, which had a rigid frame. Blimps are non-rigid and usually much smaller.
Dirigible air travel was a thing for a while. Helium was non-flammable, but more rare & expensive, so may airlines used hydrogen instead. What really killed dirigibles was their vulnerability to weather. The US Navy lost at least two large airships to severe weather, with multiple fatalities both times. In fact (if memory serves) the Navy lost more men in those two accidents than the Hindenburg incident.
Only one person actually died in the Hindenburg incident! And the only reason it was filled with hydrogen was because the US had the vast majority of the world's supply of helium. They refused to sell to Germany in the 30s because it was a strategic resource. For military airships. Which played such and important role in WWII. 🙄
You missed the fact that he got his scar on his chin from striking the whip at the lion. :)
Between this scene and Mark Hamill getting mauled in TESB, best covers for real life scars.
@@knight1970 Seriously
@@knight1970 - Yes.
And the irony that they’re both LucasFilm production. Illuminati Confirmed.
Missed and this scene was added to play on Harrison Ford's actual scar on his chin.
Young Indiana was played by Joaquin Phoenix's brother River Phoenix who sadly died only 4 years later of a drug overdose.
Along with John Belushi and Heath Ledger they are some of the greatest, most tragic losses to the film industry I've ever seen.
Passengers riding on dirigibles was a thing, but there were several accidents (some that didn't involve hydrogen and fire) that killed the concept. The tower on top of the Empire State Building was going to be a dirigible docking port where passengers would embark and disembark with elevators going up to a restaurant and lounge for the passengers.
So now Natalie can react to _Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow_ ?
I've always loved the interaction between Ford and Connery.
The two had really great chemistry. Wished they could have done one more.
My favorite Jones film. Sir Sean Connery was a wonderful addition to this one. RIP 🙏.
"Indy, the odds of successfully navigating between two ships with a motorboat are just one in..."
"NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!"

I love Natalie accidentally talking like yoda ‘ very cinematic explosion it was’ 😂
Best line in all of cinema (ok this is an exaggeration)
"NO TICKET" after he throws the dude out of the blimp
your editor is a literal legend, just saying! They made me laugh A LOT
The father son relationship in this movie is honestly one of my favourite in any movie I've seen. It's so sweet and dynamic.
The kid playing young Indiana Jones at the beginning was River Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix's brother
And he was becoming a huge star around the time. Shame.
Supposedly the idea to have Phoenix play the younger version of Indy came from his playing Harrison Ford's son in The Mosquito Coast a few years earlier.
@@tropicalcatdetective And also because River used to mimic Harrison a lot during filming of The Mosquito Coast, so he knew a lot of his mannerisms and facial expressions off by heart.
I just realized a new generational marker. Do you think of Joaquin as River's brother or River as Joaquin's brother? Who comes to mind first? For me, it's River. Joaquin can be dancing down the stairs, and my brain will still go "River's brother is dancing down the stairs."
@@purcascade Me too.
"Eskimo brothers" - well, that's my trip to Urban Dictionary for today.
eskimo is a racial slur
@UNSUNG ARMORY because it’s not how Inuit peoples define their culture. It’s a name given to them by the colonizers. The phrase needs to get the bin.
@UNSUNG ARMORY According to the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, linguists believe the word Eskimo actually came from the French word esquimaux, meaning one who nets snowshoes.
@@redheadedstepchild9814 Many Native Alaskans still refer to themselves as Eskimos, in part because the word Inuit isn't part of the Yupik languages of Alaska and Siberia.

I think you’d also enjoy “the Mummy”, “The Mummy Returns”, and “National Treasure”.
Also, the first two episodes of season 5 of the TV series MacGyver, Mac also goes on a search for the Holy Grail. They are the best two episodes of the series imho.
Yes, National Treasure!! Guilty pleasure of mine.

The shells that the tank was firing were high capacity explosive rounds. Jamming a rock in the barrel would cause the shot to prematurely detonate before exiting when it hit the rock.
So speaks a true World of Tanks veteran. ;)
@@johnhammonds5143 From back before HE rounds were smart and ignore terrain features... lol
yes and no. It's a barrel obstruction. When the round hits the stone blocking the barrel it also causes the gas pressure to build up instead of pushing the round out of the gun, and venting behind it. Then the critical failure happens and the gun barrel splits. that must have been a gun from the last war with metal fatigue because it blew parts back into the gunner. That should not have happened. The barrel will fail before the breach block does.
@@dirus3142 "that must have been a gun from the last war"... Yep, that's a WW1 tank.
"We named the dog, Indiana" Prof Henry Jones Snr.
It was actually the name of George Lucas’s dog that was actually inspired by Chewbacca
And Indy's "full" name is Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr., born July 1, 1899... his middle name is stated at the beginning of the first episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Walton is also Lucas' middle name.
@@ARC5555Fives Chewbacca was in inspired by the dog Indiana. George Lucas said Indiana rode with him in the vehicle like a co-pilot. So he invented Chewbacca.
Canonically Sean Connery is now Prof Henry Jones III
@@benjin3993 Actually he's be Henry Jones the 1st (or Sr.) - Indy is Jr, and Mutt would be Henry Jones III...
I remember the poster tag line:
"The guy with the hat is back.
And this time he brought his dad."
Haha, you're right. I remember seeing that on some of the promo material back in the day. I vaguely recall another tagline for this film was "Have the adventure of your life keeping up with the Joneses." Maybe it was used when it came out in the video stores or something like that?
Okay, I was today years old when I learned the expression 'Eskimo brothers'! Had to google that one! Thanks Natalie!
That circus train is called the Cumbres & Toltec; it runs from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico and is an amazing tourist experience. (I've ridden it twice.) Oh, and the Jones house is (or at least was) a B&B in Antonito.
I remember back in 1990, I was really disappointed when Sean Connery wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. His work with little gestures and facial expressions gives his character more depth than any backstory exposition ever could. And his chemistry with Harrison Ford is pretty much perfect; charming, endearing and top notch comedic timing. At least, that's my opinion.
Yeah... NOT the kind of movie or performance that's going to land an Oscar.
@@Linerunner99 Not _likely_ but Peter Sellers, Goldie Hawn, Madeleine Khan, and Robert Downey Jr. all received Oscar nominations for their comedy performances.
Jack Palance won (for CITY SLICKERS).
Comedic roles _can_ win Oscars, albeit unlikely. Moreover, when the role hits you with some serious emotion ("Indiana. Let it go.") thanks to a great performance, it gets noticed.
Tbf Connery won it for The Untouchables, when he was just being him. If you really want to see him act, watch The Offence or The Hill; he is tremendous in those.
@@shugaroony I vote for ROBIN AND MARIAN, 1976. Yes, it's a rom-com. However, Audrey Hepburn and Connery are excellent and surpass the material.
Plus, that cast! Hepburn, Connery, Robert Shaw (JAWS), Denholm Elliot ("Marcus" again!), Ian Holm (LotR), Nicol Williamson (EXCALIBUR), Richard goddamn Harris!
A hidden gem, IMO.
@@AngeloBarovierSD Robin and Marion is something I need to rewatch as I can't remember much about it. I think it takes a look at an ageing hero though with all that entails, and apparently is very good. I need to look it out.
Jesus, that is one hell of a cast. My mum and dad knew Nicol Williamson for a while speaking of him (fine character actor too). Harris was always worth a watch, and Shaw was always electrifying on screen. Think I'll check it out over the weekend!
Hey Natalie, great reaction. But remember in Raiders, Indy did not see what happened when the Ark was opened, he only saw the aftermath, as he and Marian had to close their eyes to survive. I would say he felt it, but did not see it.
This is what I was getting at in my comment, I'm glad others picked up on it too haha
Inside joke ...
"That's the cup of a carpenter."
Before he became an actor, Harrison Ford was a professional carpenter :-)
Request for movies ...
Highlander (1986)

When the guy was aging at the end, he kind of looked like Christopher LLoyd.
Wouldn't that be such a treat if in the middle of the ... um ... transformation ... he paused and shouted "Great Scott!"
The Who framed Roger rabbit melty face 😱🙈
23:14 That's...That's not how hubcaps work. They're just to hide the bolts and make the wheel look nicer, that's all.
No, that wheel will definitely fall off. They never would have made it to Berlin!
Everyone who watched Christmas Story knows that hubcaps are meant to hold lugnuts in the dark on a snowy night while changing tires...
Maybe the reason the guy hadn't put the hubcap back on was that he hadn't put all the lugnuts back on?
I think you'd really like The Adventures of Tintin. Collaboration with Spielberg and Peter Jackson. It's very similar to these Indy movies.
The "no ticket" line, from when Indy knocked that guy out of the blimp, was parodied quote nicely in Dogma. You might want to consider doing reactions to the View Askew movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). A loosely connected universe with running gags, loads of pop culture references, and a Stan Lee cameo.
Thats so funny…I NEVER NOTICED their hats not flapping in the wind when they’re in the plane! b
“What’s this?”
“The Ark of the Covenant.”
“Are you sure?”
“Pretty sure.” 😂
The scene after the tank goes over the cliff, I think, is always gonna be aimed at sons and fathers. Especially the older ones where men were told to keep it inside and dont show a lot of emotion. Only in the relief his son was alive did Henry Jones Sr. allow himself a few moments to show any affection to his son.
I HIGHLY recommend The Rocketeer since you loved these three movies. :)
Always nice when Gimli tracks down Brody when he's lost.
He does have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox
You just had to SLIDE it in there, didn't you?
"I'm just as human as the next man."

Thank you both for such great content.
God bless you both..

I always assumed the crazy students freaking out over him was half "he's a hottie" but also half "holy crap our professor is ACTUALLY here for once and we have questions"
"I'll be in my office and see you all one at a time!" Immediately dips out of the office window to go on another adventure.
Well the girls were there for him. The guys mainly for grades most likely
River Phoenix (Young Indy) was a great talent gone too soon.
"And it's missing a hub cap, so that wheel probably isn't staying on."
Hub caps don't keep the tires on, Natalie. They just cover up the unsightly nuts that do. Go for a drive and you'll see plenty of cars missing hub caps everyday.
It also keeps them clean-ish.
Back then they were actual hub caps. :)
It's always best to keep unsightly nuts covered
Thanks for watching these movies Natalie! Watching your reactions reminded me how much I love them. Way to be Golden!
"Is this a typical day for you?" "NO DAD! It's better than most."
"Could you just board a blimp?" -- Yes, for a time transport by dirigible was a thing. Mostly in the 1920's and 30's I believe.
As long as you had a ticket.
"High heels and no pants on." "Ew, she's got NO pants on. This is SO gross." Everyone in the UK ROFL.
yup, i was wondering if there was an outtake i missed!! lol
Wow, you're just no fun, Nat. ;)
In the US, "pants" refers to trousers, slacks, jeans, etc. Not undergarments.
@@MichaelScheele - Whoosh!
@@Andy_U In the UK, "pants" is underwear. What we call pants, they call trousers. What we call fries, they call chips. What we call chips, they call crisps. What we call cookies they call biscuits, and what we call biscuits they call scones. Wait til you hear what they call cigarettes.
petition to have Nat singing a movie's theme song as a regular thing.
My favorite lines are:
"Those people are trying to kill us!"
"I know, dad!"
"Well, this is a new experience for me."
"Happens to me all the time."
Although they played father and son, Connery and Ford are only 12 years apart in age.
I remember hearing once that they specifically cast Connery because who else could be Indy's dad but James Bond?
No.
This one has a special place in my heart. Mostly because the themes around Indy and his father remind me of my relationship with my dad (RIP).
This one is my favorite of the series.
Gets me every time that his dad knew him so well, even though they were distant, that he knew to call him Indiana to really get his attention.
The 'no wind machine' bi-plane flying killed me!!
I've seen this film SO many times and never paid attention to that!
I believe , that this was another homage to the B-movies of the 40s where this is exactly how the scene would have been filmed with planes flying and no wind .
RIP Sean C & River Phoenix. Also just realized the villain is Grand Maester Pycelle !
Another bit of foreshadowing I've never noticed until just now:
"We're only one step away."
"That's usually when the ground falls out from underneath your feet."
I noticed that this time too. Nice multi-foreshadowing.
"Wait? Is he & his father Eskimo Brothers? Ewww!"
I was SO waiting to see if Natalie would say that! (or at least, use the term)
Also, as cool (tense/funny) as the Hitler encounter was, I always thought, "WOW! That book just became worth 1,000 times more valuable as a rare collectible now!" lol
In my opinion, 1 of Sean Connery’s last best roles...RIP 007 🙏🏾
That and Jim Malone in "The Untouchables".
This is may favorite movie of all time. I'm so glad you're watching it!
"Oh he called him by his real name!" Yeah, about that.
Fun fact, at Disneyland if you rode the train (before the redid everything for Star Wars land), right before the tunnel and train station at Toon Town, there was an unassuming dog house on the side of the track with a bunch of other crap. Faded red letters over the door said, "Indy." A little nod to the end of this film.
"We named the dog, "Indiana"". Gets me every time lol.
Its the disdain in which he says it too. Perfectly delivered by the great big Sean. :D
The best line from young Indy: "Everybody's lost but me!!" Bahahaha
man, I sure wished river phoenix would have grown older and could've returned someday to this role. :(
I always thought it was obvious that Henry Jones should have become the new guardian of the Grail, releasing the old knight from his vow.
I just lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. Watching you react at the end where his dad calls him Indiana made me tear up. I was also a bit estranged from my dad but in the end I called him and talked to him before he died.
These movies were my childhood, and last crusade was my favourite of the three. Thank you!
One of my favorite movies ever!
By the way, at the end, did you notice Elsa was told to Let It Go?
I would love you to watch "the Crow" 1993. A fantastic dark and romantic superhero/comic book adaptation that tragically (and ironically) claimed the life of Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, during filming. the film is dark and beautiful and I would really like to see you enjoy it.
No matter the character John Rhys-Davies is playing, I always hear Gimli.
My favourite Indy movie! Thanks for your reaction, as always, Nat. I love that you enjoyed it as much as me! 😊
* That guy at the beginning of the film that was dressed like Indy(the one that we all thought was Indy at first) was actually "Abner Ravenwood"(Marion Ravenwood's father). He doesn't see him again until he takes Abner's "Archaeology 101" class in 1922. Then he received his Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics and Archaeology in 1926. He then left Marion and Abner, to go to the University of Paris, getting his Master's Degree in Archaeology in 1929, and finally his Doctorate in Archaeology in 1932.
