The only problem I see with watching in chronological order is the face off with the sword fighters. In Temple of Doom it was supposed to be a call back to when he casually shot the guy in Raiders after all his theatrics, but in Temple it’s supposed to be kind of funny when he realizes that he doesn’t have his gun on him.
Well, it sort of works but in a different way. This way it's sort of a progression. Back then he didn't have his gun and that got him into trouble. Later on he made sure he has his gun.
There's more than that. In "Raiders" he's a skeptical science-only atheist despite having not just witnessing a few, but *summoning* a divine miracle, from *another religious tradition* he wasn't even brought up in, a year before flying off to Egypt to find Moses's luggage. By 1936, not only should he be more open minded to the supernatural, he would be a full-on fundamentalist Hindu
From the guy who brought us Vader killed your father to Vader is your Father to Leia is your sister to I remember my mother to her mother died in childbirth to R2D2 can fly, continuity has never been Lucas’ strong suit 🤣
When they made Raiders Of The Lost Ark, they were paying homage to the Saturday morning adventure films that had a short episode ending on a cliff hanger and the following week you could see how the hero got out of the cliffhanger situation.
Difficult remembering that far back but at our Saturday morning pictures in the Granada cinema it always seemed to be Zorro and it was sixpence (equiv. to 2.5p?) to get in. Lost in Space was the only TV program I can remember with Cliffhanger endings.
It was usually serials which were big in the 30's through the 50's. Although some were sci-fi (Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon etc) most were westerns and many times ended with someone hanging literally from a cliff!
Chronological order fixes a big problem most reactors have with Temple of Doom - that Willie isn't Marion 😅 Getting Willie first means that instead of pining for Marion, you can actually enjoy Willie - who is a hilarious damsel in distress played to 11.
Other than people who had a crush on Kate Capshaw, I can't think of a single person who watched release order and liked Willie. So, I suppose there is some logic to this theory.
@@bromixsragreed! Willie is totally unlikeable and unbangable. Like Stewie said in an early Family Guy episode: "lady only here because she humping director"
@@bromixsr - while i find Kate very pretty - i enjoyed the wild brashness of Willie too - she was a steal from the screwball comedies of the 1930s & 40s (think Carole Lombard) - which happened to be the setting of the Indy films
You made a comment about how these are like "Adventure Bond" movies. These were sort done as a spiritual successor to Bond films. Lucas and Speilberg were already good friends before working on this. Lucas thought Star Wars was going to bomb, so he went to Hawaii to kind of hide out so he didn't have to hear what the box office numbers were like. Spielberg went with him. Spielberg expressed to Lucas his desire to direct a Bond film and Lucas told him "I've got something better than Bond", and proceeded to tell him about archaeologist Indiana Smith, who, because Spielberg thought the name was too similar to "Nevada Smith", a character played by Steve McQueen in a movie of the same name, Lucas said "Fine, we'll call him Indiana Jones." And then of course, by the time we get to Last Crusade, there was only one actor they wanted to play Indy's father. James Bond himself.
Hah, when young Indy (River Phoenix) finds the bullwhip in the train car, I'm reminded of the scene from Temple when Willie asks Indy if he's a "lion tamer or something?" - it's kinda like, well, actually, that's almost sorta true, considering how he acquired the whip, haha.
Raiders is my favorite movie and I love seeing people discover it along with Temple and Crusade. And you, Coby are a delight and a once in a generation beauty. I think you would be a great Cat Woman.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark the scene where Indiana goes under the truck is a nod to a stunt from the 1959 movie Stagecoach where the stunt man went across the underneath of stagecoach and a team of running horses
the costume designer of the first Indy film admitted that the Indiana Jones costume was taken from Charlton Heston's role in "Secret of the Incas" - a 1950s film which can be seen on youtube - she even said that she was surprised that the earlier film wasn't credited cuz it was watched so much by the Indy crew during the filming - and certain elements found their way into the Indy film - especially with the use of light to pinpoint the location of the treasure
When River Phoenix first cracks the whip in the lion's cage, he cuts himself on his chin in the exact same spot as Harrison Ford has his real scar. In case you missed...
I knew there was a reason why I love @PopcornRoulette. She knows many of the actors that younger generations don't, can put things together quickly and get more out of her experience and she knows at least one foreign language! 3:48:42: I did NOT think about that! At first, when he grabs his hat again, it usually means there's another adventure in the form of another film, even though we know this is the last one. But this could just mean that there is another adventure in that they could go back in time to save Mutt! Good call! She's smart as a (ahem) whip!
Greetings from Toronto Canada. Hope you and yours are keeping well. Thanks so much for sharing. So glad you're enjoying these films. I remember watching the Indiana Jones adventures many years ago with my late mother and father. Lots of great memories. I also love the Excalibur poster that you have hanging on your wall. That's another iconic film.
2:28:05 YES. This is that moment where we suspend our disbelief just a little bit further THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY OTHER MOVIE. But the angry reviewer critics screamed about it 15 years ago so Indy 4 is bad forever 🙄
Oh Coby who suggested watching these in chronological order? It's not as bad as telling someone to watch Star Wars in chronological order, but close. All of these classic franchises should be seen in release order. Watching them in release order lets you see them as the world saw them when they came out. Besides, if you watch them chronologically you're inviting spoilers. Everybody knows what I'm talking about. Just my opinion. Nevertheless, as someone who saw all of these great 70s and 80s movies as they came out, I'm looking forward to watching how much you're going to enjoy these.
I agree - you'd see them as the world saw them in release order except for you don't get the long wait between sequels. The best example is the three years that people had to wait between 1980 and 1983 to see if Darth Vader was really Luke's father.
In this case it was only flip-flopping the first two films so it wasn't really that big of a deal. And the only reason they made Temple of Doom a prequel to Raiders was so Indy could have a different love interest! Otherwise people would think he was cheating on Marion!
I’ve made this comment a couple of times but growing up in the 80s most of my age group saw Temple of Doom first and they all were glad that was their introduction because it gave the Marion love story more weight and the films also got better as they watched them whereas people who saw Raiders first were let down by Doom.
5:57 notice the name of the club is, Club Obi Wan? Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are very good friends from film school. It's an homage of A New Hope.
The one good thing about watching chronologically is the improvement going from whiny Willie to badass Marian rather than the leading lady disappointment that happens in release order.
i loved Kate Capshaw in the film - she livened up the film more than the others - altho Karen Allen made a terrific low-key appearance - and she was more of a partner - whereas Kate the more typical "dame to be rescued" - i probably wouldn't have liked the film at all if it wasn't for her - Alison Doody was pretty but drear - i never saw the last film
That's what I thought too. At least you get rid of Willie right away and then get the greatness that is Marion. Dr. Schneider was gorgeous but so shallow and greedy and definitely just one night stand material. The best part about the last one was Indy and Marion.
When I saw that this was 3 hours 51 minutes I was intimidated--and when I saw that you had lined up all five movie reactions I decided to make the time. Thank you for sharing your reactions. It was as if I were seeing new movies through your eyes even though these were highlight clips. Indiana Jones was supposed to be James Bond set in the Thirties but doing archeology, not espionage, not "licensed to kill." Travel to exotic lands, meet new people in strange cultures, kill them--oops! Like the James Bond movies, the first act is an entire adventure--that has some connection to the main adventure. In the Last Crusade, Dr Jones Sr is working on the Grail diary during the initial scene and cannot be disturbed. In the beginning of "The Last Crusade" that "husky" was the famous dog Indiana. On the Disneyland Railroad there used to be Indiana's doghouse between Main Street Station and New Orleans Station. Another person pointed this out to me--Indiana Jones never gets the item he was after. What happened to the Ark, the magical stone, the Holy Grail, the Crystal Skull and the Dial of Destiny? Again, thanks for four entertaining hours.
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l Did you see the Dial of Destiny after Helena punched out Indy? I missed it. Was it abandoned in Ancient Greece because the Dial was just a computation device and didn't have any power of its own? Or did Helena manage to sell it to a buyer who will misuse it? I didn't see the Dial in Indy's apartment. Help a fella out here--did you see it in the closing scenes? Just getting the hat was a big deal.
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l I'll have to dig out my Indiana Jones collection and look at the last scenes. It's going to take a while. Thanks for the challenge. Often I miss stuff in the movie.
Another fun fact it´s that Sean Connery and Harrison Ford (who played the roles as father and son), have only twelve years of difference among them. Sean had 59 here and Harrison 47 (but Sean looks more older obviously).
It really doesn't make that much of a difference since only the first two films change positions. And the only reason that happened was so Indy could have a different love interest and no one would ask where Marion was!
I love witnessing Movies and Series, that I love, for the first time and shading in that experience again. I would never dream of criticizing them for missing stuff. And I like the way you share your thoughts as you are watching them. It's fun and, for me a BIG part of the appeal of good Reaction Content.
While far from my favourite movie (though I don't _hate_ it, unlike some people), the "New York" scenes in Dial of Destiny were filmed in my hometown. Got a chance to walk around the set. A lot of movies have been filmed there, but the set design for those scenes was some of the best I've ever seen. _Tiny_ details that no viewer will ever be able to see. My favourite detail was the stickers on the lampposts, half torn off and aged, advertising New York cab companies and the like.
2:02:18 There was no green screen there, Coby, but I can see why you thought so. It was shot on location in the courtyard of the Arts & Crafts School of Almería, in South East Spain, not too far from where I'm from (most exterior scenes from that part of the movie where in the Almería area). I totally get what you mean about how old movies sometimes looked kind of fake in so many shots filmed on actual location such as this one. My guess is that it's due to the fact that the shot has both natural lighting and a lot of extra sources of artifical light pointing at the characters, so the end result is not too natural and can make our brains just assume that those actors were shot separately from the background.
50:31 Is it just me, or did that propeller engine starting up sound a lot like the Millennium Falcon's light-speed failing? And speaking of SW easter eggs, I never noticed that "Club Obi Wan" sign before, hahahaa. that's awesome.
Harrison running after dude screaming then running into many more and getting chased the opposite way is the exact same as the Han Solo/storm trooper scene. lil homage
Interesting facts...... the guy who tries to shoot him in the opening of Raiders is also the monkey man with the eye patch. The guy who gets crushed by the rock crusher in Temple is the guy choking him in Marion's bar, the propeller guy, and one of the Germans outside the zeppelin. Also, the hieroglyphs in the Well of Souls have R2-D2 and C-3po in them. And, the plane in the beginning of Raiders has the number OB-CPO. The guy talking to them before boarding Lao Che's plane is Dan Akroyd. Donovan is the AT-AT walker commander in The Empire Strikes Back, and one of the agents in Raiders is Porkins in SW A New Hope. Indy was supposed to fight the Cairo Swordsman but had food poisoning and shooting him was Harrison's idea to avoid the scene. Indiana Jones is my favorite movie character if you didn't figured it out.
Its funny that you made the Bond connection so quickly. The creation of his character was specifically intended to evoke Bond. Which comes full circle when Bond is revealed as his father.. in a manner of speaking.
Fun fact: The big Nazi that Indy fist fights in Raiders and the big Sherpa he wrestles at the beginning, and the Chief Guard in TOD, are all the same person, stuntman and actor Pat Roach.
I had a “Temple of Doom” lunchbox in first grade. I was 8 years old when this movie came out in 1984. My Mormon parents wouldn’t let me see it. But I could have the lunchbox. I’m sure you weren’t close to being born yet Coby.
The Ark doesn't contain evil powers. It contains the power of God. It was carried by the Hebrews in the Bible and held the stone tablets the Ten Commandments. The Hebrews used it in battle to defeat their enemies with Gods assistance.
The sand in the ark was the original stone tablets that had the ten commandments, but over time they deteriorated, yet have not lost Gods power of the words. The German guy laughing was just laughing at Bellocks misfortune.
In the 3rd (last crusade), in the scene you say you see the outline of the hats and so on, because you say it is a green screen. It is not at all, it is a real location, in Spain (Almería more specifically if I am not mistaken). Initially Spielberg and the production would have wanted to do it in The Alhambra (Granada, Spain 🇪🇸), but they did not obtain permission to film there. The car ride along that street with Salah is also Almería , just as the desert part is the Tabernas Desert, in the same province of Almería, considered the only desert in the territory of Europe…the motorcycle chase was also in Spain...
1:26:55 in the Bible the ark of the covenant is a wooden box covered in gold inside and out with a lid that’s also covered in gold and has golden Cheribon statue fused on top, inside it’s supposed to be the 10 Commandments, a Golden jar of mana, Aaron Steph and maybe the original versions of the 10 Commandments that were smashed before getting put in the ark, With four golden rings added to each side of the arc to carry wooden planks because the wooden plagues were the ways people would carry the ark and the reason the wooden planks were needed was because anyone who didn’t make the ark was for bidden to touch and look inside the ark. The ark of the covenant also brought bad luck to anyone who stole it from the Hebrews.
I love your reactions, but I do wish you would have started with Raiders. The first one was done so well that i think it helps you bond more to the Indy character so that you can better enjoy the other two (noticeably less strong, imo) movies.
@@popcornroulettereactions And I guess since neither of us have tried it any other way, we'll never be sure which order we would have liked best ; ). I thought Short Round was the too funny and Capshaw a little annoying. I admit the first time I saw Raiders in theaters I was completely blown away. It's in my top 5 of my all time favorite movie theater experiences. I didn't get those same feelings from any of the sequels (after the 3rd one, i thought they really declined in quality) they all seemed lacking in one way or another to me - at least by comparison. Still the sequels are great adventure flicks, but Raiders will always have a special place in my heart. Back when I saw it first at 17 years old in 1981 and even now at 60.
I don't recall anything in Temple that would have spoiled or caused confusion from having not seen Raiders, so I suppose in this case, chronological order is not so bad. They're mostly "standalone" films. But normally, for a first-time viewing of any series with prequels and spinoffs, it's always best to abide by the theatrical release order, simply because the stories are written in such a way that key reveals and backstory elements are disclosed accordingly, and assuming to watch "in chronological order' can leave more questions than answers, distracting from staying present during the film. I've seen where people watch prequels and ask a thousand questions and are confused about what is going on (and then blame the movie for "not being very good") - something that would not have happened had they watched the original series of films first, which would have explained everything and answered all those questions, lol. EDIT : 44:18 ; 44:55 Hahaha, case in point. ;-) Golden Rule for movie anthology viewing for n00bs : ALWAYS watch for the first time in the ORIGINAL RELEASE order - after that, watch in whatever order you like. Avoid all the questions and confusion.
Marion was not drunk. You are meant to gather that she has developed a high tolerance for alcohol. First, she bluffs the crowd into betting more against her in the drinking game. Then she uses that ability to try and trick Beloch into thinking she is drunk so she can get away.
a little background that makes these movies a bit more interesting. the nazis actually tried to track down "magical" artifacts. himmler of the ss was obsessed with the occult and chased down every possible edge to win WWII
Ford actually appeared in a nice little cameo in the YOUNG INDIANA JONES show, which was released across 3 sets of DVDs. They combined two episodes each into one "movie". Ford is in MYSTERY OF THE BLUES. Whole show is a great watch, but its more historical adventure, where he as a child and as a young men meets and witnesses historical events and people instead of ancient mystical relics. It is great even considering the advances in TV SFX and composition.
The way I think time travel works in the fifth one is that whenever someone goes back in time it already happened like going back in time does it change it, it’s predestine to happen.
The arc's a holding box for holy relics. The lid w/ the cherubim is the mercy seat where God's Presence dwelt among His people. Powerful and dangerous, but not evil, and also not a weapon to be used w/o reverence.
This is exciting and action packed! The entertainment factor is the greatest and it is well acted. I highly recommend the whole series! It is the best!
That awesome building with the pillars looks like Petra, which is a real life place in the Middle East. Awesome buildings with columns made out of stand stone.
I actually really like that you watched them in chronological order. I think I as a kid saw Doom first, just because of the practicality of myself being not a baby when DOOM aired on HBO free preview weekends, so I never had the endless comparisons to Willie not being as brave or kickass of a girl as Marion which most people complain about. This remedy's that problem, so that Indy upgrades to a girl who's more his style. Kate is great comic relief when she's not just in comparison to someone else.
Elsa didn’t have a clue which chalice it was. She didn’t try to tell indy which one she thought it was after the bad guy died, which let you know she didn’t have clue.
If I'm not mistaken, in Raiders... two of my favorite directors that I grew up with (George Lucas & Steven Spielberg) - wrote the character of Indians Jones to be a "P" word... with Indy being around 30 when he met Marian when she was 11 or 12... but they decided to make her 16 bc they feared we weren't ready to accept their perverted ideas. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong?
A fun fact, it´s when young Indy uses the whip and gets a scar himself in the chin. Harrison Ford, in real life, has a scar in the same place, but in his case was due to a car crash when he was young.
If I understood the movie, the dial was programmed to take you back to that time period only. It wasn't meant to be a time-traveling device to wherever you wanted to go.
If you want to see Sean Connery in another great film, one that he had a good part in was "The Untouchables", in which he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. It takes place mainly in Chicago during Prohibition. It also stars Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness and Robert De Niro as Al Capone.
Speaking just out of personal preference of course,if it was me,I'd skip 'Temple of Doom' and especially '..Crystal Skull..'But that's just me.I have a number of the 30s and 40s cliff hanger serials in my movie collection, and '..Lost Ark..' and '..Last Crusade..'do it right.In my opinion.Indiana Jones in the 1930s was the best.
Did everyone see the R2 and 3PO engraving on the pillar behind Indy in the Well of Souls? Oh my god Coby, if you're road tripping across the US, and you make it through New Mexico, visit Meteor Crater, it's absolutely epic. It's the best thing I saw between Houston and Santa Monica. Shia Lebouf, I HIGHLY recommend him in Eagle Eye (2008) That was a good movie.
3 hours and 51 minutes for a reaction vid to 3 movies? Wow, what's your editing secret? I've never seen reactors able to edit videos to Raiders, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade each over an hour long without getting taken down by YT
What are you talking about? This was all 5 movies. Temple of Doom, Raiders, Last Crusade, Crystal skull, and Dial of Destiny in chronological order and not theatrical order. Each one was roughly 46 minutes.
@@matthewserdynski1699 You're right, but he can be forgiven for thinking it was only three movies because I feel likewise. In much the same way that I only acknowledge three Star Wars films, I totally dismiss Crystal Aliens and Time Machine of Destiny as ugly, illegitimate step children that have no business being included with the roster of REAL Indiana Jones movies.
12:39 A couple other movies with Kate Capshaw that you might like are the mediocre "Dreamscape" also starring Dennis Quaid, and the really cool "Space Camp" also starring Lea Thompson, Leaf (now known as Joachin) Phoenix, and Tom Skerritt.
My ex-wife. Was from India. She was so insulted. By the “dinner” scene in “Temple of Doom.” “We don’t eat live snakes or bug guts or eyeball soup!” “Is this what Americans think of us?” If I step back. She had a right to be upset. It was insulting.
I always felt it was more like the people who ate monkeys brains and shit like that, like crazy Rich people plus it was the 1930s I don’t feel like it was a commentary on modern civilization like I took it more of how Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone said bushmasters were mighty tasty
The only problem I see with watching in chronological order is the face off with the sword fighters. In Temple of Doom it was supposed to be a call back to when he casually shot the guy in Raiders after all his theatrics, but in Temple it’s supposed to be kind of funny when he realizes that he doesn’t have his gun on him.
yeah. watching any film series in chronological order if you've never seen them is always a bad idea. Not sure why people do this.
Well, it sort of works but in a different way. This way it's sort of a progression. Back then he didn't have his gun and that got him into trouble. Later on he made sure he has his gun.
There's more than that.

@@popcornroulettereactions Best comment LOL so true....!!!! Make your own experience!!!
Earl Webber, the man who helps Indy get on the plane near the beginning of Temple Of Doom was Dan Aykroyd
The Husky at the beginning of the third movie is Indiana

Here he play Hitler.
In Empire Strikes Back he played admiral Ozzel, the admiral that Vader choked at Hoth.
To me he'll always be Mr Bronson in Grange Hill.
Yup! The agent in Raiders is Porkins in SW A New Hope, and Donovan is the AT-AT walker commander in The Empire Strikes Back.
I can't imagine watching the prequel first. Everybody should be introduced to Indiana Jones by watching Raiders of the Lost Ark

Yeah Kate capshaw isy my favourite. A superb comic performance. I love her delivery of I hate the water I hate being wet and I hate you
That's what I thought too. At least you get rid of Willie right away and then get the greatness that is Marion. Dr. Schneider was gorgeous but so shallow and greedy and definitely just one night stand material. The best part about the last one was Indy and Marion.
Thanks!
🙏
When I saw that this was 3 hours 51 minutes I was intimidated--and when I saw that you had lined up all five movie reactions I decided to make the time. Thank you for sharing your reactions. It was as if I were seeing new movies through your eyes even though these were highlight clips.
Indiana Jones was supposed to be James Bond set in the Thirties but doing archeology, not espionage, not "licensed to kill." Travel to exotic lands, meet new people in strange cultures, kill them--oops! Like the James Bond movies, the first act is an entire adventure--that has some connection to the main adventure. In the Last Crusade, Dr Jones Sr is working on the Grail diary during the initial scene and cannot be disturbed.
In the beginning of "The Last Crusade" that "husky" was the famous dog Indiana. On the Disneyland Railroad there used to be Indiana's doghouse between Main Street Station and New Orleans Station.
Another person pointed this out to me--Indiana Jones never gets the item he was after. What happened to the Ark, the magical stone, the Holy Grail, the Crystal Skull and the Dial of Destiny?
Again, thanks for four entertaining hours.
Same for Nathan drake. Its a lesson.... somethings are not recovered for a reason. However... he did get the stone in temple of doom
didn't he get the Dial at the end of Dial?
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l Did you see the Dial of Destiny after Helena punched out Indy? I missed it. Was it abandoned in Ancient Greece because the Dial was just a computation device and didn't have any power of its own? Or did Helena manage to sell it to a buyer who will misuse it? I didn't see the Dial in Indy's apartment. Help a fella out here--did you see it in the closing scenes? Just getting the hat was a big deal.
@@alancranford3398 been a while since I watched it but I could have sworn it was on his nightstand or something at the end
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l I'll have to dig out my Indiana Jones collection and look at the last scenes. It's going to take a while. Thanks for the challenge. Often I miss stuff in the movie.
Raiders is always my fav. Simply started the whole adventure / treasure hunting genre.
The sand in the ark is supposed to be the remains of the 10 commandments
15! I have 15 commandments...!
1:14:54
That's same actor that played the big Indian guy in the Temple of doom.
Wrestler Pat Roach from Birmingham.
Another fun fact it´s that Sean Connery and Harrison Ford (who played the roles as father and son), have only twelve years of difference among them. Sean had 59 here and Harrison 47 (but Sean looks more older obviously).
you don't think sean could have fathered a child at 12
You really should’ve watched it in the release order
It really doesn't make that much of a difference since only the first two films change positions. And the only reason that happened was so Indy could have a different love interest and no one would ask where Marion was!
I love witnessing Movies and Series, that I love, for the first time and shading in that experience again. I would never dream of criticizing them for missing stuff. And I like the way you share your thoughts as you are watching them. It's fun and, for me a BIG part of the appeal of good Reaction Content.
I can’t see Short Round without thinking of my time at Canon Beach in Oregon. Where they filmed Goonies
While far from my favourite movie (though I don't _hate_ it, unlike some people), the "New York" scenes in Dial of Destiny were filmed in my hometown. Got a chance to walk around the set. A lot of movies have been filmed there, but the set design for those scenes was some of the best I've ever seen. _Tiny_ details that no viewer will ever be able to see. My favourite detail was the stickers on the lampposts, half torn off and aged, advertising New York cab companies and the like.
2:02:18 There was no green screen there, Coby, but I can see why you thought so. It was shot on location in the courtyard of the Arts & Crafts School of Almería, in South East Spain, not too far from where I'm from (most exterior scenes from that part of the movie where in the Almería area). I totally get what you mean about how old movies sometimes looked kind of fake in so many shots filmed on actual location such as this one. My guess is that it's due to the fact that the shot has both natural lighting and a lot of extra sources of artifical light pointing at the characters, so the end result is not too natural and can make our brains just assume that those actors were shot separately from the background.
50:31 Is it just me, or did that propeller engine starting up sound a lot like the Millennium Falcon's light-speed failing?
And speaking of SW easter eggs, I never noticed that "Club Obi Wan" sign before, hahahaa. that's awesome.
Harrison running after dude screaming then running into many more and getting chased the opposite way is the exact same as the Han Solo/storm trooper scene. lil homage
One thing about Indy. He can put up with anything. But he HATES snakes! -OG
Interesting facts...... the guy who tries to shoot him in the opening of Raiders is also the monkey man with the eye patch. The guy who gets crushed by the rock crusher in Temple is the guy choking him in Marion's bar, the propeller guy, and one of the Germans outside the zeppelin.
Also, the hieroglyphs in the Well of Souls have R2-D2 and C-3po in them. And, the plane in the beginning of Raiders has the number OB-CPO.
The guy talking to them before boarding Lao Che's plane is Dan Akroyd.
Donovan is the AT-AT walker commander in The Empire Strikes Back, and one of the agents in Raiders is Porkins in SW A New Hope.
Indy was supposed to fight the Cairo Swordsman but had food poisoning and shooting him was Harrison's idea to avoid the scene.
Indiana Jones is my favorite movie character if you didn't figured it out.
43:58 - She's in Black Rain. A great movie that is often overlooked by reacters
Its funny that you made the Bond connection so quickly.
The creation of his character was specifically intended to evoke Bond.
Which comes full circle when Bond is revealed as his father.. in a manner of speaking.
Fun fact: The big Nazi that Indy fist fights in Raiders and the big Sherpa he wrestles at the beginning, and the Chief Guard in TOD, are all the same person, stuntman and actor Pat Roach.
Late actor
I had a “Temple of Doom” lunchbox in first grade. I was 8 years old when this movie came out in 1984. My Mormon parents wouldn’t let me see it. But I could have the lunchbox. I’m sure you weren’t close to being born yet Coby.
Deja vu feeling that i already watched this lolol nice compilation of all reactions.
The Raiders truck in the movie is the actual truck at the exit of the Disneyland ride.
The Ark doesn't contain evil powers. It contains the power of God. It was carried by the Hebrews in the Bible and held the stone tablets the Ten Commandments. The Hebrews used it in battle to defeat their enemies with Gods assistance.
All in imaginary stories, of course.
@@Jeff_Vader Atheists can't resist. Smh
@@Jeff_Vader Just explaining from a "lore" point of view.
The sand in the ark was the original stone tablets that had the ten commandments, but over time they deteriorated, yet have not lost Gods power of the words. The German guy laughing was just laughing at Bellocks misfortune.
In the 3rd (last crusade), in the scene you say you see the outline of the hats and so on, because you say it is a green screen.
It is not at all, it is a real location, in Spain (Almería more specifically if I am not mistaken).
Initially Spielberg and the production would have wanted to do it in The Alhambra (Granada, Spain 🇪🇸), but they did not obtain permission to film there.
The car ride along that street with Salah is also Almería , just as the desert part is the Tabernas Desert, in the same province of Almería, considered the only desert in the territory of Europe…the motorcycle chase was also in Spain...
Now that you has watched this saga, tell me: do you like It?
1:26:55 in the Bible the ark of the covenant is a wooden box covered in gold inside and out with a lid that’s also covered in gold and has golden Cheribon statue fused on top, inside it’s supposed to be the 10 Commandments, a Golden jar of mana, Aaron Steph and maybe the original versions of the 10 Commandments that were smashed before getting put in the ark, With four golden rings added to each side of the arc to carry wooden planks because the wooden plagues were the ways people would carry the ark and the reason the wooden planks were needed was because anyone who didn’t make the ark was for bidden to touch and look inside the ark. The ark of the covenant also brought bad luck to anyone who stole it from the Hebrews.
I watched the video little by little because it is very long. I loved your reaction and I had a lot of fun reminiscing about the movies again...
An ARK is a vessel, a container, like a chest. Noah’s Ark was not a boat, but a container for surviving the Flood.
Noahs Ark is a Myth, you couldn't even build one now
@@paulfrancis9129 Actually, someone did..., it's in Kentucky.
It has a gift shop.
Someone in Australia is building a new Titanic as well.
@wbeenjammin yeah but it can't hold 2 animals from every species on the planet can it
@@paulfrancis9129 It might hold 2 of every kind of animal the builders were aware of. To them that's all the kinds of animals on the planet.
@wbeenjammin which means there wouldn't be any kangaroos or koala left doesn't it.
I love your reactions, but I do wish you would have started with Raiders. The first one was done so well that i think it helps you bond more to the Indy character so that you can better enjoy the other two (noticeably less strong, imo) movies.
In my opinion ToD is an amazing film but also if you start with it the next two sequels are even better!
@@popcornroulettereactions And I guess since neither of us have tried it any other way, we'll never be sure which order we would have liked best ; ). I thought Short Round was the too funny and Capshaw a little annoying. I admit the first time I saw Raiders in theaters I was completely blown away. It's in my top 5 of my all time favorite movie theater experiences. I didn't get those same feelings from any of the sequels (after the 3rd one, i thought they really declined in quality) they all seemed lacking in one way or another to me - at least by comparison. Still the sequels are great adventure flicks, but Raiders will always have a special place in my heart. Back when I saw it first at 17 years old in 1981 and even now at 60.
I don't recall anything in Temple that would have spoiled or caused confusion from having not seen Raiders, so I suppose in this case, chronological order is not so bad.
They're mostly "standalone" films.
But normally, for a first-time viewing of any series with prequels and spinoffs, it's always best to abide by the theatrical release order, simply because the stories are written in such a way that key reveals and backstory elements are disclosed accordingly, and assuming to watch "in chronological order' can leave more questions than answers, distracting from staying present during the film. I've seen where people watch prequels and ask a thousand questions and are confused about what is going on (and then blame the movie for "not being very good") - something that would not have happened had they watched the original series of films first, which would have explained everything and answered all those questions, lol.
EDIT : 44:18 ; 44:55
Hahaha, case in point. ;-)
Golden Rule for movie anthology viewing for n00bs : ALWAYS watch for the first time in the ORIGINAL RELEASE order - after that, watch in whatever order you like. Avoid all the questions and confusion.
5:58 Good eye, Coby. Not many people catch that Star Wars reference.
This is a legendary upload!
That random building in a canyon is actually a real ancient palace
Marion was not drunk. You are meant to gather that she has developed a high tolerance for alcohol. First, she bluffs the crowd into betting more against her in the drinking game. Then she uses that ability to try and trick Beloch into thinking she is drunk so she can get away.
a little background that makes these movies a bit more interesting. the nazis actually tried to track down "magical" artifacts. himmler of the ss was obsessed with the occult and chased down every possible edge to win WWII
Ford actually appeared in a nice little cameo in the YOUNG INDIANA JONES show, which was released across 3 sets of DVDs. They combined two episodes each into one "movie".
Ford is in MYSTERY OF THE BLUES.
Whole show is a great watch, but its more historical adventure, where he as a child and as a young men meets and witnesses historical events and people instead of ancient mystical relics.
It is great even considering the advances in TV SFX and composition.
The way I think time travel works in the fifth one is that whenever someone goes back in time it already happened like going back in time does it change it, it’s predestine to happen.
2:05:35
That was a Walter P38, very common in all branches of the German army.
The arc's a holding box for holy relics. The lid w/ the cherubim is the mercy seat where God's Presence dwelt among His people. Powerful and dangerous, but not evil, and also not a weapon to be used w/o reverence.
This is exciting and action packed! The entertainment factor is the greatest and it is well acted. I highly recommend the whole series! It is the best!
When you say series do you mean the Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles?
The facade in the canyon that is supposed to be the same desert, is not the Tabernas desert in Almería Spain. But it's Petra, in Jordan 🇯🇴
That awesome building with the pillars looks like Petra, which is a real life place in the Middle East. Awesome buildings with columns made out of stand stone.
Thank you Coby! This is sool! Glad you got to see these movies.
I actually really like that you watched them in chronological order. I think I as a kid saw Doom first, just because of the practicality of myself being not a baby when DOOM aired on HBO free preview weekends, so I never had the endless comparisons to Willie not being as brave or kickass of a girl as Marion which most people complain about. This remedy's that problem, so that Indy upgrades to a girl who's more his style. Kate is great comic relief when she's not just in comparison to someone else.
The problem isn't that she is unlike Marion. They problem is that she's bloody annoying.
1:26:40 no that is the arc but the arc is supposed to carry the 10 Commandments.
People hate on Temple.
I have ALWAYS loved it!
...Are Raiders & Holy grail better? Yes. But it is a FANTASTIC trilogy.
❤
Elsa didn’t have a clue which chalice it was. She didn’t try to tell indy which one she thought it was after the bad guy died, which let you know she didn’t have clue.
RIP Sean Connery and River Phoenix
If I'm not mistaken, in Raiders... two of my favorite directors that I grew up with (George Lucas & Steven Spielberg) - wrote the character of Indians Jones to be a "P" word...
with Indy being around 30 when he met Marian when she was 11 or 12... but they decided to make her 16 bc they feared we weren't ready to accept their perverted ideas.
Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong?
A fun fact, it´s when young Indy uses the whip and gets a scar himself in the chin. Harrison Ford, in real life, has a scar in the same place, but in his case was due to a car crash when he was young.
If I understood the movie, the dial was programmed to take you back to that time period only. It wasn't meant to be a time-traveling device to wherever you wanted to go.
2:16:32 You know fun fact George Lucas named Indiana Jones after his dog (Indiana) and his dog is the same exact bread as the one in the opening.
Not sure what this Dial of Destiny and Crystal skull things are but Im glad you enjoyed the THREE and only 3 Indy movies. :)
There was a Disney phase.
Then there was a slightly more grown-up phase.
This was the introduction.
Thank you!
Dial of Destiny is the only Indy movie I have seen only once. That was more than enough. 😢
'The sacred chalice, that contained Jesus Christ's blood' ' The Holy Grail' --- Coby: "The Cup" - lol 01:55:22
1:25:25 The same canyon where the Jawas capture R2D2.
If you want to see Sean Connery in another great film, one that he had a good part in was "The Untouchables", in which he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. It takes place mainly in Chicago during Prohibition. It also stars Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness and Robert De Niro as Al Capone.
Speaking just out of personal preference of course,if it was me,I'd skip 'Temple of Doom' and especially '..Crystal Skull..'But that's just me.I have a number of the 30s and 40s cliff hanger serials in my movie collection, and '..Lost Ark..' and '..Last Crusade..'do it right.In my opinion.Indiana Jones in the 1930s was the best.
Yes, Marion can handle her liquor. No, the snakes are not going to help him.
Did everyone see the R2 and 3PO engraving on the pillar behind Indy in the Well of Souls?
Oh my god Coby, if you're road tripping across the US, and you make it through New Mexico, visit Meteor Crater, it's absolutely epic. It's the best thing I saw between Houston and Santa Monica.
Shia Lebouf, I HIGHLY recommend him in Eagle Eye (2008) That was a good movie.
3 hours and 51 minutes for a reaction vid to 3 movies? Wow, what's your editing secret? I've never seen reactors able to edit videos to Raiders, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade each over an hour long without getting taken down by YT
What are you talking about? This was all 5 movies. Temple of Doom, Raiders, Last Crusade, Crystal skull, and Dial of Destiny in chronological order and not theatrical order. Each one was roughly 46 minutes.
@@matthewserdynski1699 You're right, but he can be forgiven for thinking it was only three movies because I feel likewise. In much the same way that I only acknowledge three Star Wars films, I totally dismiss Crystal Aliens and Time Machine of Destiny as ugly, illegitimate step children that have no business being included with the roster of REAL Indiana Jones movies.
@@iankogneeto4882ridiculous measures
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is amazing in the phenomenal TV Series Fleabag
I just want to know how you’ve never seen them? Thank you for the great feed.
10:05 Fun fact: This Indian actor (at the time anyway) could not speak a word of English. Spielberg fed him his lines one at a time.
The Whole Saga is Awesome!! 👊😎✊The Awesomeness that Is Continues! 👊😆✊😆👌😎👍🍁
Hi Coby, did you recognise the valley where Indy aimed the rocket launcher, it is where R2-D2 encountered the Jawas in Star Wars.
Best adventure saga in the history of cinema!
In the well of souls R2d2 and C3po are carved into one of the pillars. An in joke with Spielberg and Lucas.
The last crusade is really the last crusade, anything after that is shit :D
4 was not shit... it was good just not great. 5 was shit... I don't know how it got so high on rotten tomatos
That is not timeline order. The actual release order is the timeline border temple of Doom Comes after raiders of the lost ark in time line order
Temple of Doom is chronologically first
It's always interesting to hear a fresh opinion on these movies. Thank you for an insightful and enjoyable reaction.👍
12:39 A couple other movies with Kate Capshaw that you might like are the mediocre "Dreamscape" also starring Dennis Quaid, and the really cool "Space Camp" also starring Lea Thompson, Leaf (now known as Joachin) Phoenix, and Tom Skerritt.
My ex-wife. Was from India. She was so insulted. By the “dinner” scene in “Temple of Doom.” “We don’t eat live snakes or bug guts or eyeball soup!” “Is this what Americans think of us?” If I step back. She had a right to be upset. It was insulting.
I always felt it was more like the people who ate monkeys brains and shit like that, like crazy Rich people plus it was the 1930s I don’t feel like it was a commentary on modern civilization like I took it more of how Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone said bushmasters were mighty tasty
