Yes, U-boat submarines traveled at surface level during WWII unless they were directly involved in a sea battle, in which case they would submerge. Submarines back then couldn't stay under water but for a certain amount of time
Warehouse 13 is a recent TV series based on all the artifacts in that warehouse, it also has tie ins with Eurika. Both solid science fiction TV series with five seasons each. Nice reaction, the anticlimactic coat hanger gag was hilarious in the theaters.
They bought all the snakes they could from local pet shops but it still wasn't enough to fill the area so they added a lot of garden hose to fill the gaps. when they escape the chamber, the "dude sitting in the corner" was knocked out by Indy in a deleted scene. the film's producer Frank Marshall plays the pilot in the fight with the flying wing right after (the college Indy teaches at is named after him too). His wife is Kathleen Kennedy who now runs Lucasfilm (Indy and Star Wars basically). She was Steven Spielberg's assistant on this movie.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark": Lucas had finished "Star Wars" and was on vacation with Spielberg. What to do next? Spielberg wanted to "Do 'James Bond," while Lucas remembered cliffhanger films of the 1930's. Their second choice leading man, Harrison Ford, got to create another iconic movie character. Karen Allen's "Marion Ravenwood," Indy's equal, could drink a Neanderthal under the table but still be all Woman. With enough stunts for THREE Action movies, "Raiders" hit the box office like a tidal wave. This movie persuaded a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists. Yep, you could say I liked Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. from the start.;)

I remember playing a little dark forces back in the day. Have you tried the new great circle Indy game? Its a ton of fun and made by the studio that made the recentish Wolfenstein games.
Subs prefer to travel on the surface when they can because they are run by diesel engines and the engines consume air (oxygen). They do use the engines to charge batteries for running under water. (Nuclear subs work differently). A sub can run at "periscope" depth and use a snorkel to breath but there's still a problem of fighting more resistance to forward motion when submerged.
The plane rolled over Harrison Ford's leg. Fortunately, it wasn't as heavy as it appears, and they put squishy rubber tires on it, so the damage to Ford's knee wasn't too bad. He didn't trust local medical services, though, so they just bandaged it, put ice packs on, gave him pain killers, and he soldiered on.
Kind of wild to realize that we’re about as far in the future from the release of this movie as it was from many of the old matinée serials that inspired it, going by the average years of their heyday. See you next time, for more adventures!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I think some are, even if much of the time it's just for cinema history appreciation (and many can be rather cheeseball, being made on the cheap, for young audiences). Of course, I can't guarantee they've necessarily aged well. Some didn't really age at all, as they were generally short episodes, just to be shown before the actual feature, and often weren't taken seriously enough to preserve. So, there's also a matter of whether you can find them.
There was a deleted scene where the man who translated the incriptions on the headpiece to the Staff of Ra said there is a warning not to touch or look at the Ark if is opened.
@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I think it was because they wanted to Indy didn't believe the Ark was supernatural for most of the movie but then they find the Ark Indy and Sallah are careful not to touch it and use poles to carry it out.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Given that the 'Miracle of the Ark' is pure Old Testament Wrath of God type stuff, and that "not looking" was a standard kind of commandment for these type of things (see Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt for looking back at the destruction of Sodom, and there's sequences of how to treat the Ark where it's said to not look into, or not wanting to know what's inside, unless you're a priest), I just figured Indy knew from knowing his bible. After all, the type of history used in this movie treats the bible as more of a proper historical source that it is in reality.
I believe they had to run on batteries to stay submerged, since their engines needed access to outside air. That was a huge limitation of submarines until the advent of nuclear power.
Funnily enough, that IS the submarine from Das Boot (Or at least a cancelled version of it) - rented for the production from Bavaria Studios - and the model version was from Steven Spielberg's comedy movie "1941"
Yup. It was the full scale replica (just a floating shell, not even sure it had an engine) loaned out by the production company Bavaria to Spielberg, but they forgot to tell the crew of "Das Boot" about it. They showed up one morning and the thing was gone.
Actually, the Millennium Falcon sounds like an airplane. The sound effect is that of an inertia starter: A flywheel is spun up then a clutch engages to connect it to the airplane motor, giving that characteristic wind down sound.
If memory serves me correctly, the shot with Indy filling the left side of the frame completely in profile came about because they used a VistaVision camera for that. That was a widescreen film format where the film strip runs horizontally, not vertically. ILM liked to use it for visual FX because a larger area of film is exposed, giving more detail, but since the cameras were just modified for the film transport, the optics being the same as 'normal' film cameras, the eyepiece/viewfinder only showed part of the full frame, so the camera operator had to guess what the rest of frame would look like, so the camera lend itself to such frames where one object filled the part you couldn't see (here, most of Indy's head), and the eyepiece used to make sure the other object (Belloq) was in focus properly. (VistaVision was never adopted widely. Hitchcock liked to use it a lot, then it slowly died, but then it was resurrected by ILM, as I said, for visual FX.)
That's a great piece of information. So theoretically, if they had the correct eyepiece for it and could 'see' everything they might've not shot the scene that way?
The little trick with the Gestapo officer in the tent with his "nunchucks" looking hanger that he folds to hang his coat. That is a repeat of a similar scene from Steven Spielberg's comedy he did a couple of years earlier called "1941". If you get a chance to watch that one you'll see where he used it first with a German officer in that film.🖖
@@theheretic569 interesting! Also we noticed while editing some of the gun sounds used in the bar fight are used again later in Saving Private Ryan. We def give 1941 a look! Thanks for the recommendation
To give this film a, " 4 " rating is unforgivable. The thing is, this film was MADE for the big screen. The cinematography, sound design, effects, direction, props, orchestral music composition, were created for a very BIG movie screen. If you two watched this in a huge old style movie theatre on 70 mm film in Dolby 12 track stereo as it was shown in many high end theaters then ( where I saw it multiple times in 1981 ) ...then you would be stunned and thrilled in an entirely different, bigger, engulfing way than just watching it as you did on likely a tiny computer screen. No good. It deserves a " 5 ". And note: The male reactor was taking ratings off by " nit picking " as he called it when feeling skeptical that Jones could have ridden the submarine to the island. Well, first of all the island was not that far away from where he swam to the sub and climbed on....only a few hours. Further, contrary to what the reactor guy stated, those subs at that time did indeed ride at sea level with the topside exposed. They only submerged when heading to battle or surveillance missions. Otherwise, they stayed up top. There is an outake scene where Ford has his whip wrapped around a pipe on top of the sub as it submerged only several feet under the surface. He held onto that whip and was dragged by the sub for some time up to his neck in ocean water. The scene was cut out of the film for time purposes. That part of the story was also explained in the novel. Just FYI.
You make some good points, and I can understand why someone would give this a 5, especially if they watched this in theater at release. It really is a great movie. Also regarding the nitpick about the submarine, I can totally admit that I was wrong about this one. Others have also pointed out that this was before the era of nuclear submarines and they stayed surfaced most of the time. I'm actually glad that I am wrong because it explains that situation so easily for me.
A great film and I can't imagine anyone else than Harrison Ford playing Indy. My favorite of the Indiana Jones movies is the third one, but this isn't far behind. I'm not an expert, but I think that before nuclear submarines, they couldn't stay submerged for very long times so would sail on the surface as much as possible. But it was still a very risky move to climb on the sub without knowing how far it was going and it could dive at any moment. I agree with you about the gun sound effects. In general I love the punching and shooting sounds of 80s movies. They are not very realistic, but they have a weight to them and feel dramatic.
Im excited to see the 2nd and 3rd one again, and to see Jane's reaction to both. Good point about the sub. Someone else pointed it out as well and I totally forgot they weren't nuclear powered yet. I noticed during editing how similar the gun sounds in the bar sounded to the sounds in Saving Private Ryan, I'm very confident that they were used again there!
The stunt going under the truck was inspired by an old western stunt originally from the movie "Stagecoach" (1939). Guy goes through the horses and under a coach, come back up from behind. Stunt man Terry Leonard had tried to do the stunt for a western a year earlier, but it didn't work, so he suggested to repeat it here with the truck. For some shots with Indy trailing behind the truck it's actually Harrison Ford himself. He was asked before if he was worried about it, he answered: "No, if it were dangerous they would have filmed more of the movie before."
The movie Speed does a more modern take on this stunt and I remember it being pretty good though its been years since I've watched. We might end up doing a 'wife reacts' to that one eventually!
If you review the film @18:10 to 18:13 you'll see a long pole near the rear wheels of the truck. That was a designed practical effect to help turn the truck on its side during the explosion. The pole was designed to eject from inside the truck and impact the ground causing it to overturn onto its side. I'm not certain but they may have forgotten to edit it out or didn't think it would be too visible during the explosion or didn't have time reshoot that particular scene.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I also noticed that you and your wife pay attention to movie details quite a bit. I don't know if you've ever watched a channel called "Cinema Sins" where they pick apart movies and give them sins (sometimes objective and or subjective sins) The channel claims its satire but there have been some questions about that claim. The flip side of Cinema Sins is a channel called "The Birdman" and he points outs the stuff that Cinema Sins got wrong (and believe me Cinema Sins gets quite a number of things wrong or they manipulate scenes to increase the sin count) Both channels have already sinned most of the movies you've already reacted to Robocop, Blade, and this movie as well. You should check them out and see what you think if you haven't already.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse The two of you should check out a channel called "Cinema Sins" where they pick apart movie and give them movie sins. The flipside of Cinema Sins is a channel called "The Birdman" where he points out Cinema Sins mistakes. Both channels are hilarious (at times)in their own way.
I think i've seen a couple of these before where it has a sin count and they've been fun IMO. I might check it out for this movie (and The Birdman). Thanks for the recommendation!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse That's the channel! Complete with 9Mill+ subscribers while the Birdman has far less subscribers than CS he has a growing fan base, and people are starting to visit his channel to see what CS missed. Both channels can be quite observant in their own way You'd be surprised at how much you or the audience can miss in a film.
Those old subs really did travel on the surface as long as it was safe. The batteries and air supply only lasted maximum 2 days, but they had to travel very slow, like 2 knots to get that kind of endurance, so was not common to remain submerged nearly that long. Or they could use the snorkel for air to be just below the surface and run the engines, but they could still be spotted almost as easily as if on the surface by planes or from the exhaust plume. On the surface, they could travel much faster. Nuclear submarines don't need batteries and make oxygen from splitting seawater using electrolysis. They can stay underwater for as long as the food supplies last. The Royal Navy's HMS Vengeance set the record for 201 days without surfacing.
38:10 - It literally WAS Das Boot, or at least the filming model they used for the movie. The Raiders people arranged to borrow it for a day... which really upset some of the people making Das Boot, because they weren't told. They just showed up to film a submarine movie and found they didn't have a submarine.
* We are 33 years overdue for an Indiana Jones prequel film series, starring a new actor(but only if they choose someone *OTHER* than "Alden Ehrenreich"). Anthony Ingruber *WOULD* have been the perfect choice but, he's 34 years old now. I'm sure if they do a prequel series, they're gonna wanna pick it up where *The* *Adventures* *of* *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* television miniseries left off. The first film could begin where Indy was transferred to the *American* *Expeditionary* *Force* of the *U.S.* *Army* *Air* *Service* in 1918, and served with "Jock Lindsey" in the "Meuse-Argonne Offensive" of WWI on Jock's "Glenn Martin MB-1 Reconnaissance Bomber Biplane"(hence the bomber jacket, and how he knew how to fly that biplane in The Last Crusade). * The Paramount logo could transform into "Mont Verdun" or something. We are introduced to Indy and Jock. We only know it's Indy because there's some dialog, and Jock calls him "Indy". The caption reads *France* *1918.* After the opening sequence when they fly off into the sunset, they could cut to the outside of the "University of Chicago". The caption could read *Chicago* *1919.* It would cut to a college professor giving a lesson on what sounds perhaps like "Archaeology 101". It turns out it's "Abner Ravenwood". Indy is in his class, and he recognizes him as being the man he met named "Fedora" in Utah, 1912. After class, he walks up and talks to him, and Abner remembers him. They hit it off well. * After a montage scene, they take us forward through the school year, and they seem to have become friends. Abner has even apparently introduced Indy to his daughter "Marion", and they show us brief scenes of them dating, with Indy taking her to movies like "The Mark of Zorro", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", "Charlie Chaplin" and "Buster Keaton" films, going to the "Ringling Brothers Circus". We see Abner planning an expedition for the coming summer in 1920, and he's teaching Indy the archaeological process and procedures of such an endeavor. * Then we jump ahead to them getting on a plane, and the 3 of them beginning their "little" adventure together to......wherever. Perhaps Peten, Guatemala, where they discover "The Temple of Tikal", but they've got tomb robbers on their trail, who work for a local organized crime syndicate perhaps. Who knows? This is what we need. Not another movie like "Dial of Destiny"(Lord have mercy). To be honest with you, I don't even think they should've done "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It's too bad movies cannot be "unmade".
I don't know if you play games or not, but the recent "The Great Circle" is fantastic and feels very cinematic . I've heard it goes great with the original 3 movies as well (and it feels like it does based on my playthrough so far)
Funny you mentioned “Abu”, when talking about the monkey in this flick. Abu was voiced by Frank Welker (Best known as “Freddy“, in the Scooby Doo cartoons.). Mr. Welker also provided the voice/sounds for the monkey in Raiders! The large actor who played the bald German mechanic, was the late Pat Roach. He also played the big, hairy Sherpa Indy fights in Marion’s bar (The one in the “Shoot them. Shoot them both.” , scene.) He also plays the large Thugee guard in the prequel flick, “ Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”. Denholm Elliott (Marcus Brody, in this, & the third Indiana Jones flick.), can also be seen as, “Colman”, in “Trading Places”. The “sword to a gunfight” scene was not what was originally planned. Harrison, along with most of the cast/crew was suffering from dysentery, from local food/water, & suggested that, instead of the partially filmed fight with Terry Richards (The tall Arab swordsman.), that Indy just shoot him. (This same gag can be seen in, “Gavin Blod, the man & his music”, a sketch by Benny Hill.) The terrified guide, at the beginning of the flick, was stuntman/actor Ted Grossman, who was also eaten by Bruce the shark, in JAWS! (And, he is scheduled to appear at the very next Hollywood Show, In Burbank CA, next weekend, along with Carl Gottlieb, who also acted in JAWS, & he also Re-drafted the script.) I hope you will search UA-cam for behind-the-scenes/making of videos for this, and all of the Indiana Jones films, after you’ve watched each one individually. Lastly… Your comment of Out, how the effects look old-school, deliberately… I believe is important. A terrific observation! You see, as I tell so many people, especially those naysayers about the last two flicks, that the Indiana Jones films are A-list, movies, and tributes to the B-movie, is made in the Times in which the films are set! So, if some of the effects are a little “wonky“, or seemingly outdated, It’s OK! They are trying to reflect the time periods of the films setting. Especially please remember this, with the fourth installment, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull“. Don’t want to give any spoilers, but… Think of the bee movies made in the 50s. What were their main features, or plot points, etc.…, And then watch the flick! I think during this in mind, will help you to understand, And enjoy all of the films, that much more! I’m glad you enjoyed this, my personal favorite of the five Indiana Jones films, (I saw it eight times its original release, in theaters! Strange, considering the trailers did nothing for me. I only went to see it on the recommendation of a friend who was working at a local haunted house with me, at the time. I was carrying a dickhead skull prop that I had made, and he told me that if I like that kind of stuff, then I need to see “Raiders of the lost Ark”. There’s lots of that stuff in there, he told me. I saw it, and I was hooked!) and hope you will continue to enjoy all five of them! Thanks, and happy new year to you both! :-)
Wow what an informative post, ty for all the info! We'll keep an eye out for the actor who plays the mechanic when we eventually react to Temple of Doom. We'll check out the making of videos as well! Our plans are to go through the first Trilogy, and then eventually react to the 4th/5th movies later on. Happy New Years to you also!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I get it, about your plan, with the flicks. My main issue is… I just hope you’ll watch all five! I have seen many reactions to the fourth and fifth films, and they do enjoy them, Overall! Some reactors pay attention to the naysayers in their feeds, and ignore the fourth and fifth installment. To me, that’s their loss. They are entertaining in their own ways. TBH… It’s the second flag, Temple of doom, that is my personal least favorite in the series! And it has its great points! So sweet surround. At least watch them and create your own opinions. That’s what I’m concerned about. It’s like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise number four to me is the weakest link in the chain, And five is actually a decent flick! Thanks for your reply, and your well wishes, and please enjoy the movies! :-)
@ thank you so much for that. One tricky part of watching all 5 is that we can only do 1 movie a week so we gotta weigh all the options. However if we do really enjoy the first 3 we will keep 4 and 5 in mind!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Well, even if you don’t post reactions to them (Which would be a shame!), I still think that you both should give them a watch. Enjoy! (And thanks for replying to my comments.) 😁
No one has said it yet, so here goes: Originally, there was a longish fight scene between whip and sword planned with the guy Indy shot. However, most of the crew (Including Ford) was down with dysentery from eating local food (filming was done in Tunisia). So someone -- reports who vary depending on who's talking -- suggested "Just shoot the guy!" John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) was so ill he wished to die. He calls it the single most horrible experience on a movie shoot he experienced ever. There's an episode of "Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum" with him where he talks in length about it. Highly recommended. The only one not affected by food poisoning was Steven Spielberg, because he only consumed canned food he had bought in bulk from Harrod's (Rhys-Davies' words).
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Indeed he was. Normally that's one of the most common fun facts posted in Raiders reactions besides this original one about the sword fight, so I am surprised you found it from looking it up instead of someone saying it.
Yeah that star wars sound is the hyperdrive failing on the falcon which is actually the sound of an inertia starter from old biplanes. ALOT of the original series sound effects and visuals came from 1920s-1940s aircraft and battles
Even though the film had a PG rating, if you first saw it on tv the chances are the melting faces/exploding head scene was censored, which might explain why you don't remember it. The bloodier, more shocking scenes probably wouldn't make it into a modern PG rated film at all.
I can't wait for Temple of doom (1984) my favorite ;) But be aware it's way more dark with higher stakes. In fact, it feels like it's Indy in a horror movie ^^
Thereafter, the gold-plated acacia chest's staves were lifted and carried by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits (800 meters or 2,600 feet) in advance of the people while they marched. God spoke with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover.
26:35 fun fact that was a gag Steven Spielberg tried to use for his movie titled “1941“ but test audiences didn’t like it so he reused it for this movie.
Beloq as stated by Indy is a poor researcher. The Bible itself and Rabbinical works details what happened when people looked into the Ark. Any archeologist devoted to the Bible would know these stories of its powers and how people died to them Also those aren't ghosts. They are Angels. In particular Angels of Destruction.
@OfficialDNJmoviehouse you ever see the original "Planet of the Apes" from 1968? It's rated G. You might question the rating like some of these 80s PG films. Then again, Disney films used to be G and either say or reference Hell. Disney films cannot do that now without being PG.
I saw this movie when it came out at a matinee showing. In the row in front of me was a mother and her eight or nine year old son. Every time a scary scene came on, she put her hands in front of his eyes. I remember wondering why she bothered to bring him at all. Ratings were brought in in 1968 to replace the Production Code and, in spite of constant tweaking, have never really worked.
The physical ark of the Old Testament Hebrews 9:4 states that the Ark contained "the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant." Revelation 11:19 says the prophet saw God's temple in heaven opened, "and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple."
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Manna was the supernatural food God gave to the Israelites during their 40-year wandering in the desert. The word manna means "What is it?" in Hebrew. Manna is also known in the Bible as the "bread of heaven," "corn of heaven," "angel's food," and "spiritual meat."

I believe they had to run on batteries to stay submerged, since their engines needed access to outside air. That was a huge limitation of submarines until the advent of nuclear power.
"Is this the dude on the plane?"
No.
Different character, different person. Fun fact: Dude on the plane has 8 Oscars and 14 Oscar nominations for VFX.

Funnily enough, that IS the submarine from Das Boot (Or at least a cancelled version of it) - rented for the production from Bavaria Studios - and the model version was from Steven Spielberg's comedy movie "1941"
Yup. It was the full scale replica (just a floating shell, not even sure it had an engine) loaned out by the production company Bavaria to Spielberg, but they forgot to tell the crew of "Das Boot" about it. They showed up one morning and the thing was gone.
BEN BURT DOES ALL SOUND FX FOR LUCASFILM, SO THE AIRPLANE DOES SOUND LIKE THE MILLENIUM FALCON
@@PatrickPrejusa GOTCHA TY FOR THE INFO 🤣
Actually, the Millennium Falcon sounds like an airplane. The sound effect is that of an inertia starter: A flywheel is spun up then a clutch engages to connect it to the airplane motor, giving that characteristic wind down sound.
@@jamesbrown4092 Ok totally did not realize that's what a plane sounds like starting up. Appreciate the info!
If memory serves me correctly, the shot with Indy filling the left side of the frame completely in profile came about because they used a VistaVision camera for that. That was a widescreen film format where the film strip runs horizontally, not vertically. ILM liked to use it for visual FX because a larger area of film is exposed, giving more detail, but since the cameras were just modified for the film transport, the optics being the same as 'normal' film cameras, the eyepiece/viewfinder only showed part of the full frame, so the camera operator had to guess what the rest of frame would look like, so the camera lend itself to such frames where one object filled the part you couldn't see (here, most of Indy's head), and the eyepiece used to make sure the other object (Belloq) was in focus properly.
(VistaVision was never adopted widely. Hitchcock liked to use it a lot, then it slowly died, but then it was resurrected by ILM, as I said, for visual FX.)
That's a great piece of information. So theoretically, if they had the correct eyepiece for it and could 'see' everything they might've not shot the scene that way?
The little trick with the Gestapo officer in the tent with his "nunchucks" looking hanger that he folds to hang his coat. That is a repeat of a similar scene from Steven Spielberg's comedy he did a couple of years earlier called "1941". If you get a chance to watch that one you'll see where he used it first with a German officer in that film.🖖
@@theheretic569 interesting! Also we noticed while editing some of the gun sounds used in the bar fight are used again later in Saving Private Ryan.
We def give 1941 a look! Thanks for the recommendation
To give this film a, " 4 " rating is unforgivable. The thing is, this film was MADE for the big screen. The cinematography, sound design, effects, direction, props, orchestral music composition, were created for a very BIG movie screen. If you two watched this in a huge old style movie theatre on 70 mm film in Dolby 12 track stereo as it was shown in many high end theaters then ( where I saw it multiple times in 1981 ) ...then you would be stunned and thrilled in an entirely different, bigger, engulfing way than just watching it as you did on likely a tiny computer screen.
No good.
It deserves a " 5 ".
And note: The male reactor was taking ratings off by " nit picking " as he called it when feeling skeptical that Jones could have ridden the submarine to the island. Well, first of all the island was not that far away from where he swam to the sub and climbed on....only a few hours. Further, contrary to what the reactor guy stated, those subs at that time did indeed ride at sea level with the topside exposed. They only submerged when heading to battle or surveillance missions. Otherwise, they stayed up top. There is an outake scene where Ford has his whip wrapped around a pipe on top of the sub as it submerged only several feet under the surface. He held onto that whip and was dragged by the sub for some time up to his neck in ocean water. The scene was cut out of the film for time purposes. That part of the story was also explained in the novel. Just FYI.
You make some good points, and I can understand why someone would give this a 5, especially if they watched this in theater at release. It really is a great movie.
Also regarding the nitpick about the submarine, I can totally admit that I was wrong about this one. Others have also pointed out that this was before the era of nuclear submarines and they stayed surfaced most of the time. I'm actually glad that I am wrong because it explains that situation so easily for me.
A great film and I can't imagine anyone else than Harrison Ford playing Indy. My favorite of the Indiana Jones movies is the third one, but this isn't far behind.
I'm not an expert, but I think that before nuclear submarines, they couldn't stay submerged for very long times so would sail on the surface as much as possible. But it was still a very risky move to climb on the sub without knowing how far it was going and it could dive at any moment.
I agree with you about the gun sound effects. In general I love the punching and shooting sounds of 80s movies. They are not very realistic, but they have a weight to them and feel dramatic.
Im excited to see the 2nd and 3rd one again, and to see Jane's reaction to both.
Good point about the sub. Someone else pointed it out as well and I totally forgot they weren't nuclear powered yet.
I noticed during editing how similar the gun sounds in the bar sounded to the sounds in Saving Private Ryan, I'm very confident that they were used again there!
The stunt going under the truck was inspired by an old western stunt originally from the movie "Stagecoach" (1939). Guy goes through the horses and under a coach, come back up from behind. Stunt man Terry Leonard had tried to do the stunt for a western a year earlier, but it didn't work, so he suggested to repeat it here with the truck.
For some shots with Indy trailing behind the truck it's actually Harrison Ford himself. He was asked before if he was worried about it, he answered: "No, if it were dangerous they would have filmed more of the movie before."
The movie Speed does a more modern take on this stunt and I remember it being pretty good though its been years since I've watched. We might end up doing a 'wife reacts' to that one eventually!
If you review the film @18:10 to 18:13 you'll see a long pole near the rear wheels of the truck. That was a designed practical effect to help turn the truck on its side during the explosion. The pole was designed to eject from inside the truck and impact the ground causing it to overturn onto its side. I'm not certain but they may have forgotten to edit it out or didn't think it would be too visible during the explosion or didn't have time reshoot that particular scene.
Good catch, I see it! I had to watch multiple times to see it so I think it's safe to say it's not visible enough to warrant editing out lol.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I also noticed that you and your wife pay attention to movie details quite a bit. I don't know if you've ever watched a channel called "Cinema Sins" where they pick apart movies and give them sins (sometimes objective and or subjective sins) The channel claims its satire but there have been some questions about that claim. The flip side of Cinema Sins is a channel called "The Birdman" and he points outs the stuff that Cinema Sins got wrong (and believe me Cinema Sins gets quite a number of things wrong or they manipulate scenes to increase the sin count) Both channels have already sinned most of the movies you've already reacted to Robocop, Blade, and this movie as well. You should check them out and see what you think if you haven't already.
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse The two of you should check out a channel called "Cinema Sins" where they pick apart movie and give them movie sins. The flipside of Cinema Sins is a channel called "The Birdman" where he points out Cinema Sins mistakes. Both channels are hilarious (at times)in their own way.
I think i've seen a couple of these before where it has a sin count and they've been fun IMO. I might check it out for this movie (and The Birdman). Thanks for the recommendation!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse That's the channel! Complete with 9Mill+ subscribers while the Birdman has far less subscribers than CS he has a growing fan base, and people are starting to visit his channel to see what CS missed. Both channels can be quite observant in their own way You'd be surprised at how much you or the audience can miss in a film.
2:29 I’m not sorry but this is THE greatest character intro in a movie ….. ever. That character reveal…. Classic .
T2 with Arnie is one of my favs
Those old subs really did travel on the surface as long as it was safe. The batteries and air supply only lasted maximum 2 days, but they had to travel very slow, like 2 knots to get that kind of endurance, so was not common to remain submerged nearly that long. Or they could use the snorkel for air to be just below the surface and run the engines, but they could still be spotted almost as easily as if on the surface by planes or from the exhaust plume. On the surface, they could travel much faster. Nuclear submarines don't need batteries and make oxygen from splitting seawater using electrolysis. They can stay underwater for as long as the food supplies last. The Royal Navy's HMS Vengeance set the record for 201 days without surfacing.
Learning a lot about submarines after reacting to this movie! 201 days imagine being on that deployment.
38:10 - It literally WAS Das Boot, or at least the filming model they used for the movie. The Raiders people arranged to borrow it for a day... which really upset some of the people making Das Boot, because they weren't told. They just showed up to film a submarine movie and found they didn't have a submarine.
@@jamesbrown4092 thats too funny. I mentioned it because someone recommended we react to it in a previous video.
2:16 keeping two halves of a map in separate hands ensures no one has all the info and betrays the other interested parties.
It would be hard to find a better opening act - love it so much!
Agreed it's awesome!
* We are 33 years overdue for an Indiana Jones prequel film series, starring a new actor(but only if they choose someone *OTHER* than "Alden Ehrenreich"). Anthony Ingruber *WOULD* have been the perfect choice but, he's 34 years old now. I'm sure if they do a prequel series, they're gonna wanna pick it up where *The* *Adventures* *of* *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* television miniseries left off. The first film could begin where Indy was transferred to the *American* *Expeditionary* *Force* of the *U.S.* *Army* *Air* *Service* in 1918, and served with "Jock Lindsey" in the "Meuse-Argonne Offensive" of WWI on Jock's "Glenn Martin MB-1 Reconnaissance Bomber Biplane"(hence the bomber jacket, and how he knew how to fly that biplane in The Last Crusade).
* The Paramount logo could transform into "Mont Verdun" or something. We are introduced to Indy and Jock. We only know it's Indy because there's some dialog, and Jock calls him "Indy". The caption reads *France* *1918.* After the opening sequence when they fly off into the sunset, they could cut to the outside of the "University of Chicago". The caption could read *Chicago* *1919.* It would cut to a college professor giving a lesson on what sounds perhaps like "Archaeology 101". It turns out it's "Abner Ravenwood". Indy is in his class, and he recognizes him as being the man he met named "Fedora" in Utah, 1912. After class, he walks up and talks to him, and Abner remembers him. They hit it off well.
* After a montage scene, they take us forward through the school year, and they seem to have become friends. Abner has even apparently introduced Indy to his daughter "Marion", and they show us brief scenes of them dating, with Indy taking her to movies like "The Mark of Zorro", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", "Charlie Chaplin" and "Buster Keaton" films, going to the "Ringling Brothers Circus". We see Abner planning an expedition for the coming summer in 1920, and he's teaching Indy the archaeological process and procedures of such an endeavor.
* Then we jump ahead to them getting on a plane, and the 3 of them beginning their "little" adventure together to......wherever. Perhaps Peten, Guatemala, where they discover "The Temple of Tikal", but they've got tomb robbers on their trail, who work for a local organized crime syndicate perhaps. Who knows? This is what we need. Not another movie like "Dial of Destiny"(Lord have mercy). To be honest with you, I don't even think they should've done "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It's too bad movies cannot be "unmade".
I don't know if you play games or not, but the recent "The Great Circle" is fantastic and feels very cinematic . I've heard it goes great with the original 3 movies as well (and it feels like it does based on my playthrough so far)
Funny you mentioned “Abu”, when talking about the monkey in this flick.
Abu was voiced by Frank Welker (Best known as “Freddy“, in the Scooby Doo cartoons.).
Mr. Welker also provided the voice/sounds for the monkey in Raiders!
The large actor who played the bald German mechanic, was the late Pat Roach. He also played the big, hairy Sherpa Indy fights in Marion’s bar (The one in the “Shoot them. Shoot them both.” , scene.) He also plays the large Thugee guard in the prequel flick, “ Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”. Denholm Elliott (Marcus Brody, in this, & the third Indiana Jones flick.), can also be seen as, “Colman”, in “Trading Places”.
The “sword to a gunfight” scene was not what was originally planned. Harrison, along with most of the cast/crew was suffering from dysentery, from local food/water, & suggested that, instead of the partially filmed fight with Terry Richards (The tall Arab swordsman.), that Indy just shoot him.
(This same gag can be seen in, “Gavin Blod, the man & his music”, a sketch by Benny Hill.)
The terrified guide, at the beginning of the flick, was stuntman/actor Ted Grossman, who was also eaten by Bruce the shark, in JAWS! (And, he is scheduled to appear at the very next Hollywood Show, In Burbank CA, next weekend, along with Carl Gottlieb, who also acted in JAWS, & he also Re-drafted the script.)
I hope you will search UA-cam for behind-the-scenes/making of videos for this, and all of the Indiana Jones films, after you’ve watched each one individually.
Lastly… Your comment of Out, how the effects look old-school, deliberately… I believe is important. A terrific observation! You see, as I tell so many people, especially those naysayers about the last two flicks, that the Indiana Jones films are A-list, movies, and tributes to the B-movie, is made in the Times in which the films are set! So, if some of the effects are a little “wonky“, or seemingly outdated, It’s OK! They are trying to reflect the time periods of the films setting. Especially please remember this, with the fourth installment, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull“. Don’t want to give any spoilers, but… Think of the bee movies made in the 50s. What were their main features, or plot points, etc.…, And then watch the flick! I think during this in mind, will help you to understand, And enjoy all of the films, that much more! I’m glad you enjoyed this, my personal favorite of the five Indiana Jones films, (I saw it eight times its original release, in theaters! Strange, considering the trailers did nothing for me. I only went to see it on the recommendation of a friend who was working at a local haunted house with me, at the time. I was carrying a dickhead skull prop that I had made, and he told me that if I like that kind of stuff, then I need to see “Raiders of the lost Ark”. There’s lots of that stuff in there, he told me. I saw it, and I was hooked!) and hope you will continue to enjoy all five of them!
Thanks, and happy new year to you both! :-)
Wow what an informative post, ty for all the info! We'll keep an eye out for the actor who plays the mechanic when we eventually react to Temple of Doom.
We'll check out the making of videos as well!
Our plans are to go through the first Trilogy, and then eventually react to the 4th/5th movies later on.
Happy New Years to you also!
Frank Welker is Megatron, my guy
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse I get it, about your plan, with the flicks.
My main issue is… I just hope you’ll watch all five! I have seen many reactions to the fourth and fifth films, and they do enjoy them, Overall! Some reactors pay attention to the naysayers in their feeds, and ignore the fourth and fifth installment. To me, that’s their loss. They are entertaining in their own ways. TBH… It’s the second flag, Temple of doom, that is my personal least favorite in the series! And it has its great points! So sweet surround. At least watch them and create your own opinions. That’s what I’m concerned about. It’s like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise number four to me is the weakest link in the chain, And five is actually a decent flick! Thanks for your reply, and your well wishes, and please enjoy the movies! :-)
@ thank you so much for that. One tricky part of watching all 5 is that we can only do 1 movie a week so we gotta weigh all the options. However if we do really enjoy the first 3 we will keep 4 and 5 in mind!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Well, even if you don’t post reactions to them (Which would be a shame!), I still think that you both should give them a watch.
Enjoy!
(And thanks for replying to my comments.)

No one has said it yet, so here goes: Originally, there was a longish fight scene between whip and sword planned with the guy Indy shot. However, most of the crew (Including Ford) was down with dysentery from eating local food (filming was done in Tunisia). So someone -- reports who vary depending on who's talking -- suggested "Just shoot the guy!"
John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) was so ill he wished to die. He calls it the single most horrible experience on a movie shoot he experienced ever. There's an episode of "Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum" with him where he talks in length about it. Highly recommended. The only one not affected by food poisoning was Steven Spielberg, because he only consumed canned food he had bought in bulk from Harrod's (Rhys-Davies' words).
Ok I just looked up John Rhys-Davies and my man was GIMLI from LOTR?!?!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Indeed he was. Normally that's one of the most common fun facts posted in Raiders reactions besides this original one about the sword fight, so I am surprised you found it from looking it up instead of someone saying it.
Yeah that star wars sound is the hyperdrive failing on the falcon which is actually the sound of an inertia starter from old biplanes. ALOT of the original series sound effects and visuals came from 1920s-1940s aircraft and battles
Even though the film had a PG rating, if you first saw it on tv the chances are the melting faces/exploding head scene was censored, which might explain why you don't remember it. The bloodier, more shocking scenes probably wouldn't make it into a modern PG rated film at all.
I can't wait for Temple of doom (1984) my favorite ;)
But be aware it's way more dark with higher stakes. In fact, it feels like it's Indy in a horror movie ^^
@@marievjing Cant wait for it!
Wow these movies are incredible
When you are witnessing an act of God, as a sign of fear and respect, you avert your gaze.
Thereafter, the gold-plated acacia chest's staves were lifted and carried by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits (800 meters or 2,600 feet) in advance of the people while they marched. God spoke with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover.
9:47 The Ark was only in two battles and one of them had the Ark get stolen but God did forced the people who stole it to give it back.
26:35 fun fact that was a gag Steven Spielberg tried to use for his movie titled “1941“ but test audiences didn’t like it so he reused it for this movie.
next indiana jones and the temple of doom!!!
Beloq as stated by Indy is a poor researcher. The Bible itself and Rabbinical works details what happened when people looked into the Ark.
Any archeologist devoted to the Bible would know these stories of its powers and how people died to them
Also those aren't ghosts. They are Angels. In particular Angels of Destruction.
Some scary looking angels lol.
@OfficialDNJmoviehouse most types of angels don't look human or even have wings. They are in fact quite alien looking
Once again.... this would not be PG today.
@@christophermcbride2522 Im going to really try and fight the urge to say PG in our next older PG movie reaction 🤣
@OfficialDNJmoviehouse you ever see the original "Planet of the Apes" from 1968? It's rated G. You might question the rating like some of these 80s PG films. Then again, Disney films used to be G and either say or reference Hell. Disney films cannot do that now without being PG.
Never seen it! That might be a good one to put on the list. Please forgive if I say "rated G btw" in our reaction though lol!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse you've likely seen references to it.
I saw this movie when it came out at a matinee showing. In the row in front of me was a mother and her eight or nine year old son. Every time a scary scene came on, she put her hands in front of his eyes. I remember wondering why she bothered to bring him at all. Ratings were brought in in 1968 to replace the Production Code and, in spite of constant tweaking, have never really worked.
23:50 23:51 23:53 you know me and my grandma both agree that that storm is God trying to tell them not to disturb the Ark.
11:47 The person they’re talking about is her father.
I say "is this Ravenloft" but I meant Ravenwood. Woops!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse well her and her dad both have the last name “Ravenwood.”
9:16 The whole story of a sandstorm was never once mentioned in the Bible nor in any other historical document.
23:56 23:58 well this movie was inspired by the matinée serials and pulp magazines that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg enjoyed in their childhoods.
I would stare at Jane like those girls in Dr. Jones class if she were my Professor!
27:14 well no one is even remotely allowed to remove the items from the Ark so it is the item they need.
24:54 I have not recalled that once he might’ve but I think he’s just lusting over her.
Moses cuts the stone, but God writes the 10 Commandments again. After Moses dealt with the Israelites, God again called him to come up on Mount Sinai.
The physical ark of the Old Testament
Hebrews 9:4 states that the Ark contained "the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant." Revelation 11:19 says the prophet saw God's temple in heaven opened, "and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple."
The Ark had mana potions!?
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse Manna was the supernatural food God gave to the Israelites during their 40-year wandering in the desert. The word manna means "What is it?" in Hebrew. Manna is also known in the Bible as the "bread of heaven," "corn of heaven," "angel's food," and "spiritual meat."
ty for the context, that is very interesting!
@@OfficialDNJmoviehouse God uses the Ark as a symbol of his presence.

Indiana was completely unnecessary to the story, if he wasn't involved the Germans would have got it anyway, taken it, opened it and died anyway.
