"Your MOM's of interest to the bureau!" LOLOLOL Never change Cassie.
"Where's a whip when you need one? That's what she said." What have we done to this woman, lol.
"He's such a detective archeololologist...action man" may be the greatest Indiana Jones reaction ever.
SHAZAM!
“your mom’s of interest to the bureau!”
that was fantastic 😂
People keep quoting that in the comments. Was that something Cassie said? Or it was in the movie?
@@ct6852 Cassie said that.
@@ct6852 9:10 in the video
I had to pause the video and laugh. So good
That had me rolling, didn't have a "your mom joke" on my bingo card for this one
“That might be too much” is exactly where my suspension of disbelief ended also 😂
Ya, it was when he survived a nuke in a freaking fridge after it flew threw air for a mile.
@@stevenreyngold1166you drew the line over that shit when the previous movies literally dealt with with supernatural things? That's That's just stupid. Aliens are way more believable than magic and immortality
@@stevenreyngold1166 Ditto. I was rolling my eyes the entire movie and that was the icing. What's unbelievable is that they made another one after this. I don't know whether to blame the studios or audience for that one.
@@Dr.HooWho I don't get what's so hard to understand about that. The subject of these movies allows for some suspension of disbelief when it comes to plot. But the fridge thing was just dumb AF because it's so over the top that it detracts from the story. It's meant to be comedic but you can't even laugh at how terribly unrealistic it is. The movie sucked hard, period.
@@kobayashimaru8114I love the fridge scene.
"Your mom's of interest to the bureau!" That burn was almost as harsh as, "I like Ike." This channel is hilarious.
5:56 “I like Ike” was a presidential campaign slogan for Dwight Eisenhower.
10:00 The actor’s name is Jim Broadbent, and yes, he played Slughorn. You might enjoy a film he’s in from the early 80s: “Enchanted April,” also with Alfred Molina, Miranda Richardson, Joan Plowright, and Polly Walker.
I know most people don’t like this movie but I’m ok with it. I think it is about the “Mythology” of the 50’s. The Russians - wanting to control our minds and the Red scare, the rocket sled for the beginning of the space race, “I like Ike” - President Eisenhower, the biker outfit was straight out of “The Wild One” with Marlon Brando. And of course aliens, since 1947 was the Roswell spacecraft crash.
There are parts that can be improved but as you were saying “It’s a movie.” Have fun!
I have to admit that I enjoyed it much more this time than I did when I saw it in the theaters. I don't know if it's because I'm older or enough time has passed to not take it all so personally. Yeah, there are spots that are eye-rolls, but watching him do his thing brought a smile to my face. I'll have to watch it in full again. Then the last of them which I have not yet seen. I know many don't particularly like it, but they also have to understand, he's an old man (in real life and the character) and he obviously can't do what he did when he was 40 (though Harrison would probably still do better than many men half his age)
I think the biggest issue is that the CGI looks really bad in some scenes. The year before, Transformers blew just about everyone away with how realistic the CGI was, but here was the fourth installment in one of the most iconic franchises in movie history and the effects being done by the same company who worked on both this franchise and Transformers, but the CGI in some spots, especially the monkey scene, is awful. Maybe Lucas was trying to make it look cheap, but cheap CGI looks far worse than cheap practical effects.
big damn ants = movies with giant monsters - it all come together
@@ForceMaximus84I think it was meant to look cheap.
@@thevaccinator666 Yeah, but it needed to look like cheap practical effects, not cheap CGI. The latter always looks worse.
I remember a series of books, now dismissed as being rife with inaccuracies, by a man named Von Danniken called "Chariots of the Gods" that suggested that a lot of ancient sites and artifacts were actually evidence that extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth thousands of years ago and may have helped advance our species. These books were popular in the 1970s, around the time Spielberg and Lucas were starting their careers. I figured since three movies already dealt so much with religious-based paranormal aspect that these new films might veer more into the sci-fi aspects just to do something different with the Indiana Jones story.
I remember being struck by the scene of Indiana Jones standing before that towering mushroom cloud; he has entered the Atomic Age and the Cold War. Earlier, in the Area 51 warehouse we caught a glimpse of the Ark of the Covenant, a joke I thought, until I realized later in that shot of the atomic blast that mankind had eventually achieved a power as frightening and deadly as the Ark itself.
Nice take
The only time I felt the Canadian-American cultural difference was when Cassie says “I don’t know what’s happening” during the nuclear test!
Sounds like Oppenheimer should be on Cassie;s watch list soon! haha
I dunno, I think everyone, regardless of nationality, should know the history of nuclear testing.
I think this one struggled with reception because people were less familiar with the story of the crystal skulls than they were with the biblical nature of the first and third movie. Many not even familiar with it at all, apparently. My introduction to the crystal skull stuff was from an episode of Stargate (a sci-fi show) in 2000 that followed a lot of the points also seen in this movie. Alien skull with some psychic trans-dimensional stuff. I was enamored by it so I looked up the story of the crystal skull that the episode was based on.
So by the time this came out I went in *EXPECTING* alien and sci-fi type twists on archaeology. And they did a crystal skull story really well. I just don't think people were ready for that in an Indiana Jones movie. The first three were all religion based, and this one was sci-fi, but the CORE thing is that they all have roots in archaeology, because Indy is an archaeologist.
And like you said, they've ALL been weird and unbelievable in some of the actions/stunts/scenarios. Temple of Doom holds the record for the top two most unbelievable scenarios between the jumping out of the plane with a raft, and the whole entire minecart scene. But I don't hold it against the movies, because they're just meant to but good fun.
There was also the advent of amateur online film reviews at the time of the film's release. A lot of these people were still sour that George Lucas had "ruined Star Wars" with the prequels and digitally altered re-releases. I very much remember the Lucas hate before Disney took over Star Wars. Likewise Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull got the most uncharitable reading despite doing things all first three movies would have done in regard to slapstick or sight gags. Anyway, these people had a large presence online and made the dislike for the movie seem greater than it actually was. You can look up contemporary reviews and see that most people did not hate this film at all.
@@retro2103Definitely! Online "fandom" seems to mainly be a nasty swamp where people write the worst stuff possible about things. 😬
That actually makes sense. I would say Temple of Doom has THREE top unbelievable moments, the third being the guy ripping the other guy's heart out without killing him and keeping the heart beating.
@@passionsquietrage Actually, that doesn't bother me, as that's a big part of the religion aspect in that movie. Like the Ark killing everyone with ghostly spirit type energy, or the different cups granting instant death or eternal life. But I'm guessing most people see it like you do, as we tend to live in a Christian centric world in the west, so the Christian mysticism seems fine whereas the cult in ToD seems "more unnatural" to many.
@@Galiant2010 True.
"I Like Ike" was a slogan for the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The girl hitting Mutt in the bar scene is Sacha Spielberg, daughter of Steven and Kate Capshaw, Willie’s actress.
@@highcountrydelatite I wanted to say like you.
@@darkstar3116you don't Care about going to waste
I really enjoyed getting to watch your reaction to the monkeys swinging on vines scene in real time. Even though we got "Nuke the fridge" from the scene earlier, I believe the vine scene is the most infamous as to what went wrong with this film.
Nuke the Fridge scene was the original concept for the time machine for Back to the Future, but decided to go with the DeLorean. So they used the idea for this film years later.
I like the nuke scene in Fallout New Vegas if you have Wild Wasteland perk equip outside of Goodsprings you can find a skeleton with a fedora in a refrigerator.
The fridge scene is less bothersome than the CGI monkeys, but the former still isn’t that bad.
"your mom's an interest to the bureau" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
That had me rolling lol
"I Like Ike" was an advertisement slogan for Dwight D. Eisenhower when he ran for President in the late 50. The explosion was a nuclear explosion which happen in a lot in the in the 50s in Neveda. The sled he road on across the desert was used to measure or test the G Force on people.
26:01 Actually, this came out in 2008 and Disney didn't buy Lucasfilm (which made these movies) until 2012
Exactly.
Paramount was still in charge at the time.
I think there was some kind of relationship already because of the theme park attractions. Not sure how that worked, exactly.
@@ct6852Interesting.
Back when Disney didn’t own everything lol
One of my favorite things in this movie is Igor Zhizhikin's stereotyped evil Russian. He does this hilarious thing where he 'snaps' his face towards the camera and makes it jiggle as it stops. He seems a man who knows how to laugh at himself.
26:00
- This was before Disney.
- There's a reason why you felt you had to tell yourself to suspend your disbelief for this movie, but not the others.
Can't believe how well the mine cart scene worked in Temple of Doom. Saw the making of...weird how miniatures are sometimes more enjoyable and acceptable than CGI.
"You're mom's of interest to the bureau" almost made me fall out of my chair, lmfao
"I'm betting Harrison Ford will NOT be inviting her to his next premiere if she reacts like we did🤣🤣🤣"
- I knew exactly what movie this was when i got my daughter's text
Lol. That's cool that you guys watch the same TH-cam channel. I don't think my parents could even find TH-cam on their own.
"I Like Ike" was a theme during 'Ike' Eisenhower's Presidential campaign.
The part with Indy in the refrigerator is he was on a nuclear bomb test site. The houses he came to with the mannequin people was built to see the affects a nuclear bomb would have. It's not a real town lol. The fridge was lead lined so he was initially protected from radiation.
All true, but it is still perhaps the most unbelievable bit of cinema ever produced😊
@@brycedyck8450More than someone pulling a beating heart out of a person's chest, God taking vengeance on Nazis, or living forever after drinking from the grail?
@@moondog3056Yes, because we can suspend our disbelief in movies when it comes to the supernatural. However, when we're just supposed to believe a guy could survive a nuclear blast in a fridge, yes, we take issue with it. You can't suspend that much disbelief when you're in a real-life context with no magical reason for his survival.
@@moondog3056or how about 1 bullet killing 5 guys,or surviving a fall off a cliff on top of a tank?
@@ribbitrebecca"we can suppend our disbelief..."
Maybe you can. THE SUPERNATURAL IS NOT REAL. There is no physical scientific way a knight for the medieval age could survive until the modern age.
But, in the Indy Universe, magic exist, i guess.
So, seeing as Indy is a Christian, or at least has clearly demonstrates a faith in such supernatural powers, God simply saved Indy from the nuclear blast. There. Easy-peasy.
All joking aside, when I saw this in theaters, I just put it in my mind that Indy would have had to be way farther off from the blast than depicted, but of course who wants to see Indy get out of the fridge and squint a some dark clouds way off in the distance. So far there's no way you could make out the mushroom cloud?
No one. That's who.
"I like Ike" was a popular campaign slogan for Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The reference, when Indy and Mutt arrive in Peru, to Pancho Villa, Mexican revolutionary (1917) is a reference to the TV series "Young Indiana Jones". George Lucas wanted to tell stories of Indy, made for TV, between 1992-'96, about twenty episodes, edited into movies for vhs. Indy from age 8 traveling the world with his parents, to his early 20's. (different actors) Indy was a veteran in the First World Warnd meeting a number of historical people. The series was intended as "education" -and most of the episodes were great -can get the sets on DVD, with docs ' of history context. The series was a text for Digital effects, writers, directors, and actors that Lucas and Spielberg later worked with. It gave context to his conflict with his Dad, beyond the prologue in "last Crusade" - and the start of like the diamond, sought in "Temple of Doom" and what happened to Indy's Mom. There were a number of later episodes planned - not made that would have had meet other characters, but the series didn't carry on, it was expensive filming around the world.
One of those FBI agents is familiar. He was the janitor on scrubs and the dad in Malcom in the middle. This is at least his third Harrison ford film.
Spielberg tried pitching a fourth Indy movie to ANY new screenwriter he discovered: Chris Columbus after Gremlins, David Koepp after Jurassic Park, Menno Megys after The Color Purple, Frank Darabont after his 30’s movie in The Majestic, etc.
Finally, Spielberg just took the best pieces of each after eighteen years and cobbled them together-So if the confused story seems “like six different stories”, that’s not true. It happens to be eight. 😛
"Manchester by the Sea" with Casey Affleck is a must-watch. One of my personal favorites. Very underrated.
The ants are marabunta or army ants.Also seen in the 1954 movie The Naked Jungle starring Charlton. Heston.
"The Naked Jungle" Adventure Romance. Heston builds a cocoa plantation in South America. He is lonely and orders a mail order bride. She arrives just at the time the army ants migrate. You cannot stop the ants!
A Favorite movie of mine. 😃👍
I was so disappointed when I saw this on opening day BUT I have grown to accept and appreciate it. It is a love letter to 50s B movie sci fi films. Once you accept that you see what Spielberg was trying to do.
Honestly I went in with low expectations because of Harrison's age. I would've been pleasantly surprised with almost anything. And I mostly was. The monkeys still felt severely dumb, though.
The nuclear bomb thing was real. US did a lot of testing on our own soil in Nevada. Faced ramifications as people experienced fallout in surrounding areas. Should look it up, keywords like Castle Bravo.
Edit: That "where's a whip when you need one" into your "that's what she said" joke made me choke on my drink lol. Just felt a bit unexpected from you.
I heard some farm towns sued the government for quite a bit.
Kyle Hill here on TH-cam has a great video on Castle Bravo, and how Kodak discovered the tests were happening.
The dean at Indiana Jones' college is the dad and police officer from Hot Fuzz with Simon Peg and Nick Frost. The crystal skulls are also real. You could see them in a museum.
The town that was nuked in the beginning, that was done for real to assess the damage and potential survival of a nuclear attack. There were funny public things around that. You could actually schedule to go watch a test. Companies donated their products to test them. I think it was DuPont that touted their paint as resisting spontaneous ignition compared to the competition. Kinda makes Ford vs Chevy seem pretty gentle.
'Your mom's of interest to the bureau!' Man, I loved that.
I can't believe this missed out the scene where you get to see the Ark! If you recall, it was during the car chase in the Area 51 warehouse when the car crashes in to a bunch of crates, and there is the Ark....
Juat edited out. Not missed out on.
Definitely easy to miss. Blink and you miss it. I think the score did change for a second or two if I remember. Think it was cut out of the reaction.
This movie was paying homage to the old Sci fi movies. If you take it like that it's a fun movie.
Do own this movie on media or physical copy?
I like old sci fi movies. Didn't care for this movie though
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak I'd knew I meet you one day
To the aliens it was not gold they saw as treasure but knowledge.
It probably shouldn't have used a character that's an homage to old adventure serials, then.
Being so young and Canadian it makes sense that you would miss so many of the historical references in this film. Anyone aware of the nuclear tests from the 50s would have immediately recognized what was going on with all the mannequins. Fans of Happy Days would immediately know the phrase "I Like Ike" which was all over buttons during the Eisenhower campaign. The best thing of all about this movie is that it is no longer the least liked movie in the series. Now that the fifth one bombed bigger than that scene with Indy in the fridge it easily takes over that role from this movie.
Loved your "that's what she said " moment! ❤ That was extra salty Popcorn In Bed and gave me a good laugh.😂
The best part of part 5 is that those hating on part 4 found a new appreciation for part 4.
I loved part 5.
4 is a good movie with some cringe moments. 5 is a cringe movie with some good moments.
@@steele8280 The opening 20-ish minutes of 5 are almost perfect. I feel like it should open the door for an animated series of such "lost" short adventures as a perfect way to continue the franchise.
Indy 4 is oscar-worthy net to the abomination that is 5
Just like the Star Wars prequels.
8:06 - "I have no idea what that was." - The government used to build fake towns, populated with fake people, for testing nuclear weapons. They would blow up the town and then analyze the damage. Have you ever heard the term "jumped the shark" to describe a show that's gotten ridiculous/bad? This scene inspired the phrase "nuke the fridge" to describe something ridiculous/bad in a movie.
20:30 - John Hurt, AKA Kane from Alien. You know, the guy who had an alien pop out of his chest.
“Where’s a whip when you need one?!? That’s what she said.” Yes, yes indeed 👍🏻
One of the only movies I’ve fell asleep in theaters watching 😂
An Alien Sci-Fi Comedy movie that I’ve always liked is “Paul.”
The fun cast includes: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kristen Wiig, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, and several other surprise actors.
If you haven’t seen it yet; check it out.
I’d love to see your reaction.
Don't forget Seth Rogan
@@tokubenanimations6506He'd lost so much weight for the role, it was tough to recognize him.
unironically one of my favorite movies!!! Won't spoil the surprises!
@@KreepCAbest comment!
Anything with Seth Rogan is a pass from me
It has probably been already mentioned, but the, “I like Ike” line that Indy says in the Area 51 warehouse was the 1952 campaign slogan of President Dwight Eisenhower. Ike, was Eisenhower’s nickname.
And Ike was the President at the time as well.
I still have that campaign button.
Was anti-Communism a big part of his campaign?
@@ct6852 Eisenhower’s campaign was well before my time.
The 50s. A time of the Communist threat, McCarthy hearings, President Eisenhower (Ike), nuclear bomb testing, and UFO sightings. The atom age, when the supernatural gave way to science. The question is whether Indy fits in that time as well as he does in the 30s ans 40s.
But there's a wedding at the end. So there's that.
You’re right. The fifties vibes were nice
I enjoyed his movie. Getting another Indiana after so long was great! People are too judgy, lol.
I mean sure ur entitled to ur opinion but man why did they have to literally nuke Indy 😂 movie shoudlve just ended there, there’s a long list of things why people judge this one so harshly 😭
I like the movie, but some of the criticism is warranted.
@@ForceMaximus84 After Dial of Destiny, I take back everything I said about Crystal Skull. I didn't think it'd get worse past this, but I was wrong. I'll still watch this now and then; much better finale.
Yes, he is in Harry Potter. Professor Horace Slughorn in Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2.
Sad news! Another Harry Potter actor has passed away. 😢💔
I thought it would have been a cool nod to Sir Sean Connery, if at the end, Indy said, "Why don't you stick around junior? You're just becoming interesting.", which harkins back to Henry Sr.'s comment on board the Nazi blimp about when Indy left home.
Every time I hear “It was a dark and stormy night”, I picture Snoopy with his typewriter….😂
Another great role by Cate Blanchett..
8:45 Alan Dale, another Australian. was in Neighboours TV series for years (where Kylie Minogue started)
You have to watch all movies in order, its kinda the rules..
The vehicle they are driving in is a "duck", a German amphibious jeep..
Fun Fact: originally Steven Spielberg wanted to make a story about a spy in the OSS but George Lucas convinced him to make his main character an archeologist instead.
No kidding because Steve Spielberg always wanted to direct an James Bond movie, luckily George Lucas told him about something better than James Bond.
In my opinion the fridge scene is no more ridiculous than using a inflatable raft as a parachute. Also, "I like Ike" was the campaign slogan for President Dwight D Eisenhower.
"those gofers kinda of took me out it" "too cartoony"
Oh boy... wait until you see the rest of it.
The problem with Crystal Skull to me was multi-fold; but mostly that it jumped that line between "unlikely, but feasible" into "I'm watching an animated film with real people".
The whole alien thread was just ridiculous, and made worse by the fact that Spielberg has been trying to put aliens into every film he's done for a while now. I half-expect to go back and find that the shark in Jaws is actually a creature from another planet.
Overall, I enjoy Crystal Skull. I would rather watch it over Temple of Doom, but it has it's flaws. I love that Indy fights the Soviets. I love that it deals with the crystal skulls and ancient aliens lore. I'm cool with Shia being Indy's son. Where I think it falls apart are in the areas of overused CGI, the dropped plot of the tribal people (from the cemetery, just cut all that), the fridge nuking (the nuke town is cool, but they should have had Indy get out of the blast radius on time or something) and actually showing the aliens. If they reworked those elements and made it a cold war spy thriller it would have worked better. Have a hunt for lost alien artifact and then when they return it to the temple have it crumble as they run out. and a very brief flash with a UFO or something. Cool.
Temple of Doom seems to be pretty divisive. Didn't realize that until I started reading comments on TH-cam. It was always my favorite. Did first see it at eleven, though...at that age I guess it checked all the boxes. Wonder if people who saw Crystal Skull as kids feel different about it than older others.
Nah Temple of Doom is miles better
Temple of Doom is without a doubt among the 3 best Indy films - but it does have it's own flaws. My main issue, personally, is not wanting to sit through the rough sounding voices and almost constantly screaming.
It is the same reason I don't really like movies like The Goonies any more. It was tolerable as a kid but not really now :). Movies like the Back to the Future trilogy has aged much better in this regard. I'm also not the biggest fan of horror which obvious puts Doom at an DISadvantage(edit) - I remember being terrified watching some of the scenes as a child :).
Imho, Raiders is the best movie innovatively, technically and perhaps even visually, but I much admit I prefer Crusade for its humor and heart - and the casting is perfect. I also think think the ending in Crusade is better, but that is obviously also helped by the other movies. Never was the biggest fan of how Raiders ended, but I get it.
Any way. Indiana Jones is an awesome trilogy that still holds up rather well today. Doom perhaps not as well as the other two, but it definitely fits nicely in the series.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348
@@fastertove No, no. Temple of Doom is a great movie despite its minimal flaws.
I agree that it is a great movie. Everyone should watch it as part of the Indie-trilogy.
The last two can easily be skipped in the same way as Aliens 3-4, Matrix 2-3, Die Hard 4-5, The Hobbit 1-2-3 and most SW and Terminator movies....
All of these movies are ofc. watchable, and have their parts to add, but are by no means essential. Some of them even worsens their respective universes so much, that they actually makes the prior movies worse. Matrix is an obvious example of how newer movies can be damaging to a universe.
Some times less is more.
I think a person needs to be of a specific age (biased) to prefer Indy 4 over the prior movies.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348
Limitless? I am impressed by the reference! I thought it was funny watching you actively trying to suspend disbelief!! Great reactions... it was pretty much the way many folks reacted in the theaters! Will you watch 5 at some point? I'd like to see your reactions to that one as well, please?
I realize several people already mentioned this, but to add onto the "I Like Ike" bit, that advertisement actually happened to be produced by Disney (coincidentally enough). And since people believed Eisenhower was the next best thing against communism, that was basically Indy's way of saying "screw you communists".
“Map! Schnell! Oh wait that’s German” 😭😭😂😂😂 I can’t
I remember a family friend of ours paid to take a massive group of us out to see this film, as a massive Indy fan. and he hated it so much he changed his mind and actually made everyone pay him back for their own ticket afterwards 😆 😅 While I enjoyed it far more than him, even with its major flaws, it’s still far better than the 5th film (which again…I’d still see. It has its moments 🙂)
i thought the 5th movie was better than this one (although id probably agree with peoples gripes about it) my main problem was it was too long, ford is so old you can tell they made scenes to make him not move much at all, and like this one...... it didnt need to exist.
I like both myself. To be honest, the only one I truly love is the original, Raiders. It's my favorite film of all time. I have issues with every sequel. To me they're all, at best, a very distant second.
I grew up in the 80's and loved Indiana Jones. I feel really lucky to have been able watch movies of that time. Very nostalgic!!
That being said, when I watched this at the theater, it was a cool event. People were dressed in character and the anticipation was very palatable. However, my reaction was very much like yours...very much like most that appreciated what we grew up with, in regards to characters and story lines. It stunk!! I didn't realize how much I hated until I tried to watch along with you in this reaction, haha.
Certain things are best lived in memory. I haven't watched the new one, but given the fact that I've only thought about it because of this watch, doesn't bode well for possibilities of it being good
Thank you for at least keeping Indy alive for a brief moment, ha
Nah this is is still a good movie, even the 5th one
Spielberg fans love the nuke testing fridge scene because it, not only 100% fits the era, but it's a brilliant reference to Back to the Future. In earlier scripts, before the DeLorean, Marty was going to time travel in a fridge during a nuclear bomb test in Nevada.
"Ike for President", sometimes referred to as "We'll Take Ike" or "I Like Ike", was a political television advertisement for Dwight D. Eisenhower presidential campaign of 1952.
Two Harrison Ford movies you might wanna check out in the future are "Random Hearts" and "Regarding Henry"
Yes! Regarding Henry is a must see for any Harrison Ford fan and shows off his acting ability extremely well.
Definitely Regarding Henry. I feel that really showed his acting chops in a whole other way we don't get to see often enough.
Of all the silly moments in this movie, Marion driving the car/boat into the tree is what killed it for me. I could handle the fridge, I could handle the aliens, I could even handle the monkeys.. but Marion driving off a cliff and into a tree, knowing that it would perfectly lower them into the water, was so over the top and stupid I just couldn’t handle it.
Oh my god yes, 100%!
Yeah, because the first three were all so realistic.
Those vehicles are called ducks, and they're real, but their ability to survive a waterfall is ficiton.
@@twiedenfeld they're still doing tests on that, so the jury is still out.
Far more realistic than in Temple of Doom when the minecart jumped a gap in the tracks over a chasm and lands perfectly, with the water from the tiny watertower still being a threat at the end of the cave despite the huge gap that they previously jumped over... or jumping out of a plane in a raft...
The 'huh' at 38:00 pretty much captures my feelings in 2008 after I saw this movie.
“I like Ike” was the slogan for President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign. 🇺🇸
I kinda like this movie. I know it's corny and yeah the monkeys scene is too much but it's definitely unexpected (the aliens, not the monkeys). I really like the ants scene and honestly I think the spaceship taking off from underground looks awesome. I appreciate what they were trying to do. I even kinda like the nuke/refrigerator thing although he would 100% be dead after that.
Same. Love that shot with the score, and the water rushing in. Really beautiful.
I would say campy (campy: adjective, absurdly exaggerated, artificial, or affected in a usually humorous way), instead of corny.
I grew up watching serial cliffhangers (usually in B&W) and loved them. They're a lot like this. The episodes would end with the hero going over a cliff like Indy did in the tank in The Last Crusade and you just knew he didn't make it. Until next week when it shows he jumped off and was hanging on the edge of the cliff, hence; "cliffhanger" being the term for such TV shows and movies.
When you talk about watching the next one and say Indy and Marion live happily ever after, my heart just sank.
I've not seen it yet but I know enough lol. I want too, maybe tomorrow I'll watch it and get it outta the way.
They made out a lot better than one of the other characters did.
@@jedijones you right.
To the OP . . .
Thanks for spoiling it for everybody else. 😉
Interesting Fact: The girl who screamed, "That's my boyfriend!" is Sasha Spielberg. The director's daughter.
Every time Shia gets brought up, I think of his film The Peanut Butter Falcon, and how much you would absolutely love it.
The most scathing reaction I've seen you do, and totally justified. 😂
I’m extremely happy Cassie had the same reaction I did 😂😂.
one of the crystal skulls (human) in the British Museum, London. It must have been difficult to find them, because they were kept behind a huge door.
6:09 "🤨Don't get clever, Boris. You don't know him- 😨😱Know him! Know him! You don't know him! *YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!! YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!!* "
Great reaction Cassie, like I said, I'm glad my information I provided for you on your full length helped shed some light on your confusion of the plot of this movie! I do agree that this movie is the weakest link of the franchise, but I still enjoy watching it! I'll do what I can about the item you want while I'm here in Downtown Disney! Love and support, [virtual hug] God bless you, Carly, and your family! And as always 🫰👉&😉 stay classy Cassie 🥰😁😇🙏👍🌹
4 years ago my boys and I watched this, I felt its just ok, to much weird stuff, needles parts, outrageousness. But my boys love it, it’s not only their fav Indiana Jones movie but in their top 5 fav movies they have seen. They can't believe, get upset, I was just ok with it. So we all don't have the same views on movies :)
The "car boat" is a real thing. It's an amphibious vehicle invented during WW2. Their nickname is Ducks.
This is the true end for Henry Jones Jr to me. He married the love of his life and discovered he had a son! I don’t know what they were thinking with Dial of Destiny but this is the only ending I’ll accept for Indy!
I actually went back and watched this one after seeing Dial of Destiny and I enjoyed this one a lot more than i remembered, the second time around. Maybe just nostalgia, but still, it was just fun. Adventure/action movies are supposed to just be fun! Relax, sit back and enjoy the movie!
Could just be that you were comparing this dumpster fire to the new dumpster full of shit on fire
@@Savage_Lee Disagree... not everything has to be some perfect movie to be enjoyable... no question they don't live up to the first 3 though.
This one is bad, the last one is insultingly bad.@@danjmcs
This is one better than Destiny, and that's saying a lot... As this one's terrible.
@@danjmcsno every movie doesn’t need to be perfect and some movies are enjoyable despite how bad they are but this movie doesn’t even meet the so bad it’s good criteria it’s just bad
"Your mom is an interest to the bureau!" Had me laughing in the aisle while grocery shopping. Thanks for the videos!
The actress who plays the Soviet agent also played Galadriel in the Lords of the Rings trilogy
'I like Ike' was the campaign slogan for Eisenhower when he was running for office.
Also yes, most people agree about the CGI gophers being redundant and feeling cartoonish, their inclusion was definitely an odd choice.
"I Like Ike" is a long lost Eisenhower reference. 🇺🇲 The big explosion at the beginning was an atomic bomb test. There's a ton of 1950's/Cold War era references in this one--not that any of it alleviates the terrible, terrible script.
Great to see hercreacting to this. True, 4th movie wasnt really good, and many people tend to skip it. But honestly, next to 5th it looks pretty decent.
LMAO, you’ve never seen 5.
I think you mistyped there. Compared to 5 this one was a dumpster fire. 1,3,5,2,4 from best to worst.
@@SummitSummit I think you are the one who mistyped. Best to worst would be 3,1,2,4,5 ;)
@@goldenshark3182 This one was more fun than part 5, and better-looking.
"Where's a whip when you need one?"
"...that's what she said"
LOL
“I like Ike” was a campaign slogan for Dwight d Eisenhower who was nicknamed “IKE” since childhood and it’s funny because Eisenhower is a republican and Harrison Ford is a democrat but he was so popular that BOTH democrats and republicans wanted him to be their nominee
I wondered a bit that I as a German knew it but Cassie did not 😳😅
She's Canadian at heart, and misses a lot of references that most Americans grew up with.@@ronin83-de
@@ronin83-de she’s Canadian and young most likely where she came from didn’t think it important since it’s not their history
@@mohammedashian8094 thought alike too 🤷♂️
I originally didn't like this movie, but it has grown on me. I'm not a fan of the alien plot, but that aside, all the rest is a classic Indiana Jones movie. I loved the chase and fight scenes. I loved the banter between Indy, Marion and Mutt, overall its an enjoyable movie. I'll definitely take it over "Temple of Doom" any day, I've never liked that movie.
Lol “he was jumping out of planes with a duck..or something…” well he may as well have
I like Ike was a campaign jingle for President Eisenhower who's nickname was Ike.
Harrison Ford does a really good job in "Witness" if you are looking for another good movie!
She already saw it
On this channel no less.
@@MrJholshouser41 cool, now I know!!
What lies beneath would be more appropriate.
If you want another Harrison Ford movie, I suggest "Firewall".
this movie received a lot of flack, but it's an Indiana Jones movie, so I loved it.
"He's such a detective archeololologist...action man" may be the greatest Indiana Jones reaction ever.
"Your MOM's of interest to the bureau!".
"Where's a whip when you need one? That's what she said."
Brilliant reaction, Cass.
The blond lady in Temple of Doom later became the wife of Steven Speilberg and still married. I think Shia LaBeouf is an amazing actor. I think this was a fun movie for him and who would pass the chance to work with Harrison Ford. I do agree with your accurate reaction of this movie. I watched it a couple of times and even I hate to admit they went over the top with cheesy moments. It's understandable why people find this the least favorite. I just thought it could have been so much better but the cast were amazing.
That early motor cycle chase was classic Indiana jones. I also don’t mind the punching two people with 1 punch kind of stuff 😅 but the rest….
The rest isn't any worse that the minecart scene in Temple of Doom with that tiny tower of water going over the chasm they jumped and still nearly drowning them at the end after going through that whole tunnel network.
@@Galiant2010 The water came through a side passageway, not the tunnel they went through. Also, there's nothing to say they didn't dump multiple containers of water after that one.
@@jedijones There was only one of those water towers that they knocked over. It was quite big, we only see one in the limited space, and they make a big show of knocking it over and then just watching happily like it's gonna do something. And it's located in the same room as the fight scene before they got into the cart, and it's sent down the same cart shaft. So it has to travel all that distance (5 minutes of cart time, and definitely at least 15 mph, means we're looking at a minimum of 1.25 miles of tunnels, with branching pathways and gaps/chasms)
Either way, even without the gap for the water to fall into, simply looking at volume it would've soaked into the ground in the soft spots or into the cracks, or been a tiny trickle by the end. Relatively speaking it'd be like pouring one glass of water into the rain gutters on a house.
And even if the water part could somehow be explained... they did a jump over lava. The odds of doing that successfully are so incredibly small.
A thing to remember about this movie is the time period it's set in. For context, the first three movies are done in homage to the old action adventure serials from the 1930s, many of which aired on television when George Lucas was a kid. This movie is more in line with the science fiction B movies found from the 1950s. Action adventure was around in that time frame, but science fiction was the main focus of cinema at the time, with the prime example being The Day the Earth Stood Still, among others. No one went to the movies to see a movie done from the 30s in the 50s. Is this movie the greatest ever? No. Is it the worst? Far from it. I grew up on Indiana Jones along with several other franchises. One thing that I have learned to do when going to the movies is have absolutely no expectations. No spoilers, no reviews, not one thing. Let the story rise or fall by itself. I go if I'm curious and determine for myself if it is good or bad. The truly bad movies are reserved for Mystery Science Theater 3000 or RiffTrax. This movie, in my opinion, is not one of the truly bad movies.
It not being worst doesn't make it worth watching. If a person would try to watch ALL the movies, even the bad ones, they would literally die before seeing every movie. There is too much movies in the world to watch movies as bad as this. At least not twice, that's why this reaction is a skip for me
True. The time is a little awkward for IJ...but all in all a fun movie. And points for doing something a bit different. Scene with the ship taking off with JW score is pretty extraordinary.
I agree. This movie isn't inherantly a bad one, it's just that expectations were too high and unfortunately didn't meet them. A truly GodAwful movie would be The Last Airbender or Mortal Kombat: Annihilation the two single most wasted time of my life. I literally felt dumber each passing minute while watching those. lol If my brain cells could talk, they'd have been screaming in sheer agony from being tortured. Never in any other movie did I feel so insulted by the film writers. Not even The Last Jedi NOR Ghostbusters 2016, did I feel so utterly mentally abused by a movie as I did watching those.
@@patrickcromwell7554 Regardless of what the expectations were at the time of the film's release, people still discover this movie for the first time today and can make a conclusion without that context, and can properly surmise on their own that this indeed is a pretty bad movie
IMO, the movie had its moments. Everything with Karen Allen is great. I didn't mind the Mutt character, and the ending was as perfect as I could expect if the end to Last Crusade wasn't gonna be it. But otherwise, everything about this film felt off. I practically slid down on the floor laughing at the scene with Mutt going full Tarzan, which I doubt was Lucas' or Spielberg's desired reaction. For the most part, at least half the time, this just didn't feel like my Indiana Jones. And even at the time, the CGI was noticeably bad even for 2008, and it ruined the immersion even in the theater.
37:14 There is a Star Wars character that looks exactly like her. Years ago a read a fan theory that says that the russian lady got teleported to the Star Wars universe
Wow! With the straight hair I thought it was Carly going solo for a minute!
A lot of people didn't like this one because it had aliens, but you're right all of them were like this they're not grounded in reality, I mean they had ghost and Jesus's chalice. Actually out of all of them this one's probably the one that's most likely to happen, it does have some bad CGI in some parts but its one of my favorites
And the crystal skull has been an actual "archaeological mystery" since the 1800s, so it's not even like it was something random that they made up for this movie. It has a basis in previous stories/writings just like the first three movies.
The aliens are more believable than those stuff anyways
Terminator 2
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- I'm betting the majority of you know why I'm listing these two together.
stop right there :)
Fuck it Ill bite: why are they listed together? Sequels that are better than the original?
Return of the Jedi
@@frenchynoob Excellent sequels Where they should have just stopped and not made another😀
"I like Ike" was a very famous campaign slogan for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would have been starting his second term in 1957. Just a little off-handed comment added to remind you of the time period.
@4:34 "Is this real?"
Well . . . even if it were, it's a darn good thing there wasn't anything else magnetic in that room. . . .
Also, "Okay back in the game," right before "The Nuclear Fridge" scene. . . .That was awesome timing.
Still hoping for reactions to Star Trek. 🖖😌
Original, not reboot, of course….
Me too 🎉
@@osmanyousif7849Absolutely!
God no, not the reboot. Hot needles in the eyes before watching that.
Only thing is, and as much as I like TMP, (which in many ways is closer to the series than any of the other movies) it's not how I would choose to introduce a newbie to Trek. Can't believe I am saying this. I would start of with First Contact....
@@tonygreenfield7820I'm not a Trekki but I've seen the movies. I would bet Cassie's reaction to TMP would be her falling asleep. I don't want to sell her short but that is some slow paced high brow science fiction going on there which is the overall theme of Star Trek but I think it would bore Cassie to sleep if it was her introduction to Star Trek.
