"Why don't they just read it off his hand" They did, that's why they only got one side of it XD
Old rule in movies:

This is why I love this channel 👍 💯
🤣🤣🤣 he been the first snake with wings
"Y'all didn't tell me Indiana Jones was a jedi".
Well he's not a jedi, but he did make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs
You win this comment section.
Greatest comment ever
which is really odd since a parsec is a measurement of distance, not time
@@markhill3858 Supposedly, in the Star Wars universe, you can only go into hyperdrive in a straight line. The Kessel Run was over 12 parsecs start to finish, but Han flew close to a black hole, thus shortening the distance and time for the run.
@@davidgoza5620 .. which I imagine was all written AFTER the film had been shown in cinemas lol
That scene with the collapsible coat hanger is one of the greatest misdirections in cinema history.
100%
They did read the instructions off the burn marks on his hand. That's why the staff was the wrong height and why they were digging in the wrong place. The back off the medallion said to remove some of the staff's height, but the Nazis didn't have that bit of info
Thanks! Bugs me when people miss this small detail. I was 10 when I saw this in a theater and even I understood it lol. Peace!
Yeah, about that staff height... The old guy says 2 kadan (about 6 feet), and take back one kadan (or something like that. So the staff should be less that 6 feet long. The stick Indy's holding in the map room is about 8 feet, or Indy's sitting down. Someone explain that?
12:35 There was originally a whole sword fight planned for this scene. But on the day of filming, much of the cast and crew caught something like food poisoning, so Harrison Ford asked if he could just shoot the guy. This scene turned out much better than the original plan for them. And it’s probably the best scene In the movie.
I love that 2 of Harrison Ford's most famous movie moments were his idea. This and the "I know" from Empire Strikes Back.
Knew it was here somewhere in the comments. Tip of the hat to you incog
Yep! And the guy practiced for a long time with that sword too! He was none too happy with the end result, lol!
Yep. Where they were filming, Harrison came down with dysentery. In an interview he did, he asked to shoot the guy, because the sword fight was going to be an extended scene and he had the shits all day.
COMPLIMENT to the Movie: I never once thought of Han Solo when I looked at Indiana Jones! Great acting and Movie!!
Maybe it's just me, but i almost never see other characters in actors when they do different projects.
@@trekkiejunk depends on the actor and the characters they play for me. Like Anthony Hopkins, it's hard not to see Hannibal Lecter.
15:55 "This is one of the things I would like to do, but I don't wanna go through the bulls*** to do it"
So true! 😂🤣
Relatable 👍
A leather jacket is basically light armor. And who mains a whip? Indiana Jones do. Fun fact in Lego Indiana Jones every single mission has a reward for finishing the level with your hat.
Who mains a whip?
Video game fans would like to have a word with you...
The Indiana Jones films inspired Brendan Fraser's character in "The Mummy," but the retro vibe of the pulp action-hero is one that we need to see again.
Agree 100%.
@@EOMReacts If you haven't seen it yet, you might like "The Shadow," with Alec Baldwin. Another retro hero with radio-drama roots who deserves some attention...
@@concertinamadrigals4058 Pretty sure none of them have seen it. Will def add to the list.
Other retro style action films, Rocketeer, Phantom, Sky Captain, The Shadow
@@concertinamadrigals4058 Only the Shadow knows...
“Don’t drink with her”
😂😂😂😂
Also, Indy stated after he removed the bind from Marion’s mouth that if he had let her loose at that moment, the enemy would’ve known something was up and started looking for them. Indy was playing chess by leaving her there temporarily.
"How your hand feel?" would have been the best burn ever lol
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact the director of the movie Captain America: The First Avenger worked on this movie back in 1981. He puts an off hand reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Captain America movie.
They DID read it off his hand. That’s why their staff was too long.
Alfred Molina said that to this day people see him on the street and yell out, "Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip!" LOL. Cracked me up when you said, "Why didn't they just read it off his hand?" That was the whole point, man! Haha! They DID read it off his hand, but there was more information on the back of the medallion, which didn't get burned into his hand, which is why their staff was the wrong height when the Nazis used the map room.
First 10 minutes is worth the full price of admission.
I bet you’d like the National Treasure movies
90% sure he’s seen (and loves) them, but I’ll have to check. I think I remember his saying that’s one of the few Nick Cage movies he’s seen.
I love watching your reactions!! You are hysterical! And I love your doggies. God bless!
I truly appreciate that. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
LMAO@ MY BLADDER WOULD HAVE EMPTIED.
I get what you are saying about Submarines........any ship that sinks itself on purpose can't be a good idea.
@20:45, when Indy and Sallah are lifting up the arc, if you look closely you can see R2D2 and C-3PO in the hieroglyphs on the wall.
There was a SyFy channel show called "Warehouse 13" that was more-or-less based on the idea of "what else is in that warehouse and how did it all end up there?" I heard it wasn't bad from friends that were into it, but it never really held my attention.
It wasn't terrible. It had a great cast, and very promising plot hooks, but something in the writing seemed to fall flat.
Warehouse 13 was good I think 2nd 3rd season it went internet only it was a cool premise but you had to keep up towards the end
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Hmm. I remember the show, but never watched it. Maybe I'll check it out at some point
Fun fact: The plane Indy takes from San Francisco is a real aircraft. You can see it at a small aviation museum in Oakland, CA. Fun fact #2: Indy's gunshots are always louder than his foes. Even when he is using smaller caliber. This was intentional by the sound crew.
The guns... THAT i didn't know. I knew they pumped up the guns, almost ridiculously so, to make it more pulpy and exciting (like the punches). But i didn't realize that Indy's were always louder. Do you remember where you read or saw this?
@@trekkiejunk I can't remember specifically where I read it. I think TV Tropes website references it but I wanna say I saw it somewhere on youtube.
The best reaction line " pet snake is a pigeon".
"Richie bout to be a pigeon!" Lol
Lol first snake with wings
Little known fact, Indy's pilot Jack was a prophet. Notice he is wearing a New York Yankees had and his pet is named Reggie.......THINK ON IT!
27:17 "His head looks like an Owl's nest" Hahahaha
At 27:28 to 27:32, a fly really did go into his mouth in that take. However, he still managed to finish his lines without once acknowledging it or letting it affect him, which for me is an impressive feat in and of itself.
Additionally, there were flies everywhere during that scene. (and in many of the desert scenes). All over Indy, too, if you look close.
"What shall we talk about?"
"How's your hand feel?"
🤣🤣🤣
One of the most awesome movies from the 80's no doubt, watched it when it came out in 81 in theater... tis are sad times now that they dont make movies like this anymore.
11:49 "Hey I know that's 'Heil Hitler' but that was cute that the monkey did it."
Count Dankula approves this reaction comment.
Lol thank you for your approval sir
Good times!
Fun fact about Indy shooting the guy with the big sword in the market. It was supposed to be a long Choregraphed fight with his whip but Harrison Ford had a really bad cold and was sick as a dog. He pulled out the pistol as a joke and they liked it so much they kept it.
Relentless action beginning to end, the hallmark of this franchise.
17:30 J having the same reaction as Sallah had me HOWLING with laughter in my room.
Also a fun fact, there should be an Easter egg for star wars in the Arc chamber. One of the hieroglyphics is shaped like C3-PO and R2D2
Trust me...I watched this when it came out at the movie theater (thanks Mom & Dad!).
The airplane fight & truck chase is 100X better on a big screen.
Note- Indiana Jones ALMOST fights Hitler with a whip 2 movies later.
You’re not lying about the fight/chase scenes being better on a big screen.
One of the most fun experiences I had was seeing this in theaters a decade or so ago.
It cracks me up when your copilot sits up on his hind legs out of the blue like that, lol.
You mentioned wanting to get on a submarine but having too much of a phobia. You might want to watch The Hunt For Red October, it’s a great Cold War cat and mouse movie set on submarines. It has Sean Connery as the sub captain.
I think that’s on our list
@@J_EOMReacts Yeah I hope you put that one on your list, it's a good one.
I'm a dog lover too and can tell you love your dogs and they love you back. You will never find a better judge of character than a dog.
Fun, fun ,fun ,fun! Love this movie, but Last Crusade will always be my favorite.
Yakima Kanutt did the under the truck trick in 1939 under a stagecoach at full gallop.
"Reggie 'bout to be a pigeon." 😆😆
Indiana Jones #5 June 2023
That was JL’s favorite as well. If you didn’t see it, you must. LoL
12:43 If memory serves, Harrison Ford was supposed to do a full-on sword battle with the guy in black. Ford at the time however had a high fever and a bad case of the runs, so he changed it up by pulling his revolver and shooting the guy to wrap up the scene quicker.
17:46 *torch are being thrown into the bottom of a well revealing a snake-filled floor* "What are those???" *EOM shakes his head* "You know that bullsh*t I was talking about?" *EOM points to the snakes* "That's some bullsh*t RIGHT there!"
If you haven't seen his Temple of Doom reaction, the dinner scene is the best thing ever. LoL
🤣🤣🤣 I’m telling you I wouldn’t do it
another great reaction. sorry about my outburst about the ads the other day. i get the sauce in me and start to speak my mind. you are one of the better reaction channels and will continue to come back.
It’s no problem. I’ve never been a fan of ads either when I’m trying to watch stuff so I get it lol. I’m glad you been enjoying the videos
I remember I went to a navy museum which had a WW2 sub. It was tiny inside and the bunks were so small that it was fairly frequent that the seaman would wake up screaming because he though he was buried alive.
That is terrifying
The sub was also used in the greatest sub movie ever made, "Das Boot", which was being filmed at the same time, and the filmmakers were able to borrow it while filming Raiders.
Spielberg and Lucas both grew up on adventure serials and films. They wanted to make a movie that reminded them of the old TV serials and films from their childhood. I remember seeing this film when it opened and just enthralled with the set pieces and the story. Supposedly there's a real guy that it's very loosely based on (movie is fiction), more like the spirit of what the real explorer was about. Enjoyed your watch. I had forgotten how many jump scares there were in the movie!
"Stay out of the light." Another great line.
There is a tie in with this movie and captain America first avenger movie. When the Red Skull makes a remark about the fuhrer is wasting his time in the desert looking for trinkets... this is what he's referring to.
That is awesome. I never knew if he was talking about somebody or if that was just a throw away line that meant nothing
Little late to the game but…
“Indy’s gun sounds like a cannon”. That’s because the sound of Indy’s pistol is actually a recording of a 30-30 Winchester rifle
1. While filming in Tunisia most of the cast got food poisoning and Ford actually got diarrhea from it. and was very ill. The scene where he shoots the guy
was supposed to be a long fight scene but Ford was feeling so bad and it was terribly hot so he basically said, "The hell with this" and just shot the guy. LOL
2. Karen Allen played Boone's squeeze in "Animal House" HINT HINT
3. You need to do the next one. It's not the best of the bunch but it's adventurous. Willy is a pain in the ass though.
4. Two overlooked Harrison Ford movies worth a first time/share are: "Witness" and "Force 10 From Navarone"
5. There's no way he could have swam between those two boats underway.
6. The ride at Disneyland is pretty cool. Make sure it's one of your first to get it out of the way and before the line gets too long. Adventureland.
I do think they filmed in Egypt, just in a small town away from Cairo, because it was cheaper, and way easier to get people to take down their TV antennas for the 1930s era shots.
@@cowpercoles1194 Some of it might have been but IMDB is a wonderful resource.
You know I've watched this film about 20 times over the years, and not once did it occur to me that Indy was wearing a leather jacket in a scorching desert 😂👍
🤣🤣🤣 he over there extra hot for no reason
I think we all learned J isn't your guy in a danger situation, because 100 out of 100 times he'll pee and run away 😅😅
26:20 “I’m scared of getting in submarines”
Ayo, bro, have you seen the news on the Titanic lately?
I really enjoy watching your reactions. You are in my top 5 reactors possibly number 1. Keep up the good work.
That means more to me than you know. Comments like this make doing this worth it. I truly appreciate it
@@J_EOMReacts of course you and your fur babies are a joy to watch
Excellent. One of my favorites.
There was a tv show called Warehouse 13 based on the warehouse at the end. It was pretty good.
You are the jump-scare king and I love it! Watching you is a pleasure.
Reggie about to be a piegion. That's funny 🤣
The dude Indy gives the medallion to at 11:23 is John rhys-davies. Better known as gimli in lord of the rings for the younger crowd that didn't grow up in the 80s. Fun fact.
interesting fact. the jimmy buffet song 'desperation somba' has a whip crack that is actually done by harrison ford.
That’s awesome
Between the STAR WARS original trilogy and the first two Indiana Jones pictures, Harrison Ford was the top Box Office draw in Hollywood. Loved your reaction! (I'm not a big fan of the 2nd and 3rd Indiana Jones pictures, so I'll skip those reactions. But I can't wait for other films you'll be getting to.)
26:20 If you're wary of submarines, the film Das Boot will terrify you - which, by the way, used literally the same U-boat prop that you can see here. They were filmed at the same time, and the Raiders production borrowed it for this scene.
"How yo hand feel?"
I died.
🤣🤣🤣 he hand was jacked up
"What the F is happening?" God's judgement.
That's Dr Octopus from Spider-Man
Wrath of God
2:19 I think bats were flying out of that idol, scary stuff, hate bats! Love your big concerned puppy there checkin up on his dad.
They always check on me. They’re good boys
With all of that air hitting the Commandments after 3,000 years. It would be lucky too be sand in the Ark
It wasn't sand. It was more like ashes. The artifacts burned up inside the Ark in the ship's cargo hold. Remember when the heat burned the swastika off the crate? It was done (by you know who...same fella who told Moses and Aaron how to build the Ark) to keep the relics out of Nazi hands.
the sword/gun scene is one of the greatest. movies too often time engage in these drawn out things when one of them has the ability to end it quickly. actually doing it was brilliant.
"I've done my research and It's something I don't wanna f*ck with" 😂😂
I only learned this today but you know the ball trap?
That's based on and inspired by a Donald Duck comic written and illustrated by Carl Barks. he's literally a artistic genius in the history of American comics. He inspired Osamu Tezuka (the creator of Astro Boy) to get into drawing - and it all started by an American soldier hearing Tezuka playing piano music and then responding with opera. They sat down and had a chat and the soldier brought him a bunch of American comics the next day that had a lot of Carl Barks work in it.
This movie is classic but Last Crusade is my favorite of the trilogy and nobody can tell me otherwise. xD
20:34 "Find sh*t like that would be so f***ing cool"
Except EO that you'd have go through some bullsh*t first.😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I’m love thru Indiana
When you said he is quick with that whip I immediately thought that's why so many women like him.
So all the snakes (the real ones, most were fake ) were behind glass panels if you watch close up scenes you can catch the flicker of the flame in reflection
6:43 Sounds like one of my professors in college. On weekends it wasn't uncommon for him to fly out to some other part of the country or other countries to do photography. The dude's really in to it and does photography competitions. Then on Monday he'll spend half the class period showing off the pictures that he took before continuing with the computer science lecture.
He’s the real Indiana Jones
When this came out it beat the James Bond movie the first weekend.
No other movie beat a Bond film the first weekend untill this.
Fun Fact: In the rpg scene, Ford is using a type 69 rpg modeled to look like a rpg 2. The problem is that the rpg 2 wouldn't be invented until 1954, at least a decade later
Fun fact about this movie: they shot the scene of the truck explosion last because that was an actual authentic German Army Mercedes. 👍✌
He could say my name 50x i aint goin! Man i about fell out lol i'm lettin ya know now, my bladder woulda emptied! Dude man, you're killin me lol
The Picture they show of the Ark being opened in the book is a real event in the bible. The Philistines, took the Ark from the Jews as a prize from victory. They paraded around their city blocks, until they reached the center of their city's square. With Large groups of on lookers, waiting for the Ark to be opened. They figured there was treasure inside.. So at some point they opened the Ark at the city's center. There was a large flash of light, that went across a good part of the city. People started to drop and get Sick, all that were at the opening had boils and tumors all over them. There is no account if they died, but the effect sounds pretty much like death was coming next. Plus there is no Time event, from opening to when they got sickened. So you could imagine, how fast they returned this Ark back to the Jews. People back then called it judgment, due to the 3 items that are inside the Ark. "Rod of Arron" "Gold pot with Manna" "Commandments"
1. Rod of Arron =Staff that causes life from baroness.
2. Gold Pot of Manna = piece of the Body of God. Most churches today call it the body of Christ, and everyone eats that wafer.
3. Commandments = Laws of Judgement. which today, some to many humans try to live by somewhat. "what we call morals/common sense"
If you ask me what was inside the Ark: I think because of the type of sickness, it had to be something highly Radioactive. By opening it, it reacted to outside elements causing the flash. Or, Maybe God just said "take this!"
As someone who doesn't believe reality is filled with supernatural and mystical stuff, i always took the magic in the Indy moves for just that. Exciting adventure, based on old myths, legends and magic, just like the pulpy Mummy movies of the 1930's, Clash of the Titans, Thor, etc.
@@trekkiejunk The bible described the sicknesses. putting my logical mind to what causes these sicknesses at a fast or slow rate, would be radiation. This Ark was carried everywhere, and on it's travels would have been tossed around. If they had radioactive material inside, and it was banging around. it might react to opening it up. Sense there's no time line of the illnesses. It could have been some form of plague inside the ark. If your the biblically person, one would say the items inside did it. The movies took it to another level. If they wanted to get it right, the Nazis should have fell I'll and dropped to the ground with boils all over them. The bible tells you what to wear as the opener. What's funny about this is, the outfit it describes might be enough to block enough radiation. This would make sense to tell the opener to wear this and don't touch the sides of the ark.
If i was to believe the Ark is real in it's power. Then i don't see the Ark discriminating, on which side opens its. The Ark will wipe out both sides, on the field of battle. So you open the Ark to kill your enemy, but the Ark will also kill your troops and you.
Indiana stayed running!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 track star
BTW its probably already been said that this movie is just called "Raiders of the Lost Ark" the "Indiana jones and" was added years years later.
Technically speaking, it is still only called, "Raiders...." They added the Indiana Jones part to media boxes and such, but the name of the movie has never been changed.
When you watch INDY JONES 4 CRYSTAL SKULLS, you'll see a return of that warehouse. Lotsa fun.
Crystal Skulls? There's only 3 Indiana Jones movies. Everyone knows that.
Indiana Jones was no Jedi, but he was Han Solo. GREAT MOVIE.
Facts
Classic adventure film, you will never see anything like it (and the two immediate sequels) ever again. Hollywood would just vomit a CGI mess these days.
Fun Fact: The famous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman was not in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the sword out of his attacker's hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, Ford suggested he just shoot the guy. Steven Spielberg immediately took him up on the idea, and the scene was successfully filmed.
Bonus Fact: No serious archaeologist believes the Ark Of The Covenant is in Tanis. In fact, it's a known fact that it is in Ethiopia. I suggest watching the documentary here on UA-cam. You can easily find it.
Correction: it's a well known fact that the Ark of the Covenant is in Area 51 😄
Actually, not only is that NOT "a known fact," but it's not even considered likely. There is ZERO credible evidence that the Ark of the Covenant even existed, let alone survived. If it ever existed, it would have likely been melted down by one of the many, many peoples that have conquered the ancient Hebrews.
I am SO glad I found your channel, looking through your playlists you have covered a lot of my favorite movies! ❤
I first saw this movie when I was 10 and thought it was so much fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Glad I found you again. I thought I’d subscribed before you not sure what happened. I enjoy your stuff. May your views and likes always be equal.
Much appreciated and glad you’re part of the family!
Fun fact: the man playing Sallah aka John Rhys-Davies also plays Gimli in LotR.
That was the Ark of covenant it was meant to contain the ten commandments of moses..Not for humans to possess along with the spear of destiny and the holy grail...
I mean, sure.... but ancient mythology is fun to mess around with.
Dude, you crack me up with your reactions! :D So much enjoyment "rewatching" these movies with your reactions and commentary on top.
I greatly appreciate that. Glad you been enjoying
@@J_EOMReacts Yeah man. Been basically binge watching your uploads :) Keep up the great work! Love genuine reactions and funny commentary!
If you are ever in Portsmouth, NH - they have a legit, retired US Navy sub (still pretty modern) that you can check out. Just an FYI. 😉
On the Big Bang Theory they explained that Indian Jones could have been completely out, not even in the movie and everything would have happened the same way . The nazi’s would have found the ark , they would have taken it to the island, opened it up got killed, and the government would have collected the ark and put it in the warehouse.
Well, if that show said that, they were absolutely wrong. How would the Nazis have found the Ark? They had no idea where to look, and were close to giving up. They needed the headpiece from the Ravenwoods, and the Nazis couldn't find them, nor could US Intelligence. Only Indy knew where to find Marion, and the Nazis followed him there. No Indy, no Ark. ALL of this is explained in the movie. One among many reasons to not watch Big Bang Theory.
@@trekkiejunktechnically they probably would have found it sooner, as they went after Marion Ravenswood and probably would have killed her and gotten the medallion without Indy.
"I wouldn't research shit" lol
These reactions are more entertaining than the movie itself. The dog looks at you! Heehee! Great stuff! Keep 'em comin'! :)
JL swears his copilots have picked up on the fact they are on camera. Hard to argue. LoL
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol my dogs be judging me.
The part where you screamed when the mummy popped up after Marion leaned on it was funny, but your dog's reaction of sitting straight up, looking at you, realizing what happened, and going back to sleep was hysterical. It's a trip the way the brown dog stares at you... like a lovestruck stalker. haha.
Fun reaction. Thank you and the copilots
Really looking forward to Temple of Doom
The color purple would be a great movie for you. You may have seen it.
I’ve never seen it
“Lawrence Of Arabia”
Maybe the most beautiful movie ever filmed, definitely top 5.
Quick Update: I donno if anyone mentioned it yet, but since you're watching Lord of the Rings, Sala in Indiana Jones is also Gimli in LOTR. John Rhys-Davies
I love this movie so much! I saw it 3 times in the theater when it first came out !!! Love your reaction!!
Great reactions. Keep up the good work.
I truly appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed it
J, I swear you crack me the fvck up man...
Love this movie. A favorite from my childhood still have the same vhs.
I love the fact that, if Indy hadn't been part of the story of the ark, the outcome would have been the same. The Nazi's would have opened the ark, they would have been vaporized, and the ark would just....be.
What?? That is absolutely not true. How would the Nazis have found the Ark? They had no idea where to look, and were close to giving up. They needed the headpiece from the Ravenwoods, and the Nazis couldn't find them, nor could US Intelligence. Only Indy knew where to find Marion, and the Nazis followed him there. No Indy, no Ark. ALL of this is explained in the movie. Where did you get such a ridiculous idea?
