Years ago I managed a movie theater. One weekend we showed Raiders and we had the woman who played Marion (Karen Allen) as our guest. She signed autographs for the audience after the film. She was SUCH a sweetheart. I told her I was a huge fan of Raiders and I adored her character. She was gracious enough to give me an autograph, It's a picture of her, in the bar, looking at the medallion and she wrote: To Josh, I'm your goddamn partner, Karen Allien (clearly a reference to the scene at 13:04). and of course, I still have it. She was so nice and it was a pleasure to meet her ☺️.
My aunt was actually friends with her back in the day. They grew up in the same town. As my aunt said, Karen was such a sweetheart. She was not made for Hollywood.
I watched these movies so many times when I was a kid. They sparked my interest in history and ancient cultures. Now I work as a curator and archivist in a national museum. That ending was very realistic. The majority of supposedly priceless artefacts ends up in storage somewhere, never to be seen again. Side note: these movies were also my first exposure to Nazism. I only knew Nazis as the bad guys from Indiana Jones and had no idea they were real. Because I kept thinking so much about Indy's adventures and started to make up new stories in my head, I began drawing swastikas everywhere. Which, in modern-day Germany, is very much frowned upon, as I soon came to find out the hard way.
A fun fact of John Rhys Davies (Sallah as you realized), it´s that when he played Gimli in LOTR, he was one of the tallest actors in the casting (being the dwarf). Viggo Mortensen or Orlando Bloom are shorter than him.
Ya they would dig a hole for him to stand in when they were doing group shots with Legolas and Aragorn. Luckily he was proportionately taller than the actors playing the Hobbits so they didn't have to do any photographic trickery when they were shot together.
I saw this with my Dad at 14 when it first came out. One of the few times we had together without the rest of the family. We talked about a lot of things afterward that stay with me even today.
Not just the '80s... The "damsel in distress" trope goes back to the dawn of cinema at least, if not to antiquity and the birth of theater. At least with Marion, we have a damsel who's actually not justy quite salty but also rather capable, which was a bit of a twist on the concept at the time. :)
@@lennyvalentin6485 Leia was also super capable as well! Even in her first appearance, she shoots loads of people, stands up to and talks smack to the big bads, doesn't give in to their torture, and leads her own rescue after being let out. Then she's shown as one of the Rebel leaders, commanding the defense and evacuation of Hoth. Even when she's captured by Jabba, she single-handedly kills Jabba with her own chain!
@@Unknown-hb3id Yeah, Leia is an incredible character, particularly for her time, late '70s, early '80s. She gets to do all the stuff only men get to do in most movies of that era. :D
@1:46 That’s a relatively young Alfred Molina, who would go on to play Angel (The Spaniard) in Maverick (1994) with Mel Gibson and Doctor Otto Octavius (Doc Ock) in Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
"All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics. Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this IS history." Fun Fact: Most of the "body blow" sounds were created by hitting a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat. Historical Fact: No serious archaeologist believes the Ark Of The Covenant is in Tanis. In fact, it's a known fact that it is in Ethiopia. Location Location Fact: During filming in Tunisia, nearly everyone in the cast and crew got sick except director Steven Spielberg. It is thought that he avoided illness by eating only the food he'd brought with him: A lot of cans of Spaghetti-O's. What Script Fact: The famous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman was not in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the sword out of his attacker's hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, "shooting the sucker" was Ford's suggestion. Steven Spielberg immediately took him up on the idea, and the scene was successfully filmed. Pranked In Post Fact: During the scene where Indiana (Harrison Ford) threatens the Nazis with a Panzerfaust, you can clearly see a fly creeping into the mouth of Paul Freeman. Contrary to popular belief, he did not swallow it. Freeman explained in an interview years later that the fly flew off, but Steven Spielberg noticed it and decided it would be funny to cut out a few frames so the fly would not be seen flying away. This made it look as though Freeman ate it, and he found the edit highly amusing. Empire Magazine chose this scene as one of the most common scenes for which people press the "Pause" button on their VCRs.
@Little-Larry777 Thank you for elaborating. I don't believe in the bible or the ark.... or noah's ark for that matter. I assumed that only christians (and christian "professionals") would consider such things valid, particularly with the lack of corroborating physical evidence, but I am not a professional myself so I have no knowledge of such matters.
Great reaction! Everything hit just as it should have. Loved your speculations on the monkey and ship captain. And the coat hanger got you like it does most people - shows you were really paying attention. At the end, the Ark is in an unlabeled box, safely anonymous tucked away in a warehouse full of other boxes. "Top men"! Yeah. These films were set up like the short adventure serials shown back in the 30s and 40s as warmups for the main movies at theaters. They stood out as different from other movies even when released, and are still special. Lucas, Spielberg, Williams, and Harrison Ford, how could you miss? You'll like the next two for sure (the third is my favorite).
It's simply Raiders of the Lost Ark. There's no Indiana Jones in the title. It was Paramount's idea to put Indiana Jones on the boxes. They thought people are too stupid to understand that Raiders of the Lost Ark connects with the other movies.
They did it so they could stick all of movies together on VHS and DVD in stores. Alphabetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark would have shown up further down the rack.
When I see you smiling you made my day! I like so much your reactions and more today, with one of the best sagas ever!! I´ll follow you this entire journey.
9:40 That suspicious character behind the magazine is a cameo of Dennis Muren, the special effects supervisor of the Indy films, the original Star Wars trilogy, and Jurassic Park among countless other blockbusters.
Again, I just had the best time. I love watching a movie with a smart beauty with hilarious comments. I've been here from the beginning. You got this. I still believe you are gonna break through.
The opening scene is the climax of a "Treasure of Sierra Madre" type story: Indy and the other two each had one piece of the map, so they had to work together to find the temple. Gun guy thought they reached the end, and tried to betray the two others to get the treasure for himself.
15:22 It is said that while filming this scene, Harrison Ford was sick, so rather than doing the whole elaborate fighting scene they had rehearsed, Harrison asked the Director if he couldn't just shoot the guy instead. Marion is young, their argument in the beginning implies she was too you for any kind of romantic relationship with Indy the last time they met.
In the original writeup Marion was supposed to have been 14 and Indy 24 which would have lined up with him being a graduate student but in the revised version they made Marion 17 and Indy 27, not much better but not quite as rapey as 14. Now by saying not quite as rapey this is by 1980's standards today it would be equally disgusting.
Yes. Harrison Ford and most of the rest of the cast and crew came down with food poisoning. The only one who didn't was Director Steven Spielberg, and that's because he brought his own food with him.
I don't think this is a spoiler, but if you happen to watch "Captain America", there is a throwaway line from someone who scoffs about Hitler: "The Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert." It's just an amusing callback to this movie.
That’s because Joe Johnston, whose job was “Art Director: Visual Effects, ILM” on this movie, directed Captain America: The First Avenger. Also, both movies were released by Paramount Pictures before Disney purchased Lucasfilm and Marvel. The man who scoffed was the main antagonist, Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. The Red Skull.
I remember when I was a kid, and at a Toy Store, I saw the Cairo Swordsman figure, and was like "That dude was killed in 5 seconds, why would I buy him!?"
Growing up, my mother always made me close my eyes during the ark opening scene. I always thought it couldn't be that bad. Then I watched it for the first time and realized yeah, it was that bad. 😂 Horrifying
LOL! Yeah, that deep warbling is never a good thing, is it? Fun one, Kahla! I enjoyed rewatching this with you. Indy 3 is my favorite of the series, but they are all a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂
15:32 Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned the background to this classic scene. There was a whole fight sequence storyboarded and rehearsed with the swordman and Indy with his whip. Sadly on the day of the shoot Harrison and many of the crew had been suffering with dysentery and just wasn't up to the task of performing and so he famously asked Speilberg over lunch: "Why don't I just shoot the sucker ?" He agreed and history was made.
Looking forward to living my teen years again, vicariously, through you. I hope against hope that you are going to react at least to the first three IJ movies. Thanks for the post Kahla. Kudos 😊
Some trivia almost no one mentions: The actor who played the chubby Government guy with blonde hair (William Hootkins) was a pilot attacking the Death Star in the Original Star Wars. He's one of the first to die when his ship collides with the Death Star, his character name is "Porkins".
Lucas could always come up with great names.. I mean... Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader.. but even the minor characters like starfighter pilots- Jek Porkins, Dak Ralter, Biggs Darklighter
For some reason all movie characters in the 80’s, when they suspected something was drugs or poison, would always taste it to be sure. It didn’t seem weird back then but it definitely does now. This was fun. Your commentary cracks me up. Looking forward to the rest.
You're damn right! I saw STAR WARS when I was 7 in a sold out theater. I saw Raiders in a sold old theater when I was 11. Though not exclusively, those two movies sparked my imagination and turned me into a movie lover.
Indy should of kept this woman, shes a ride or die and a badass one at that. Plus she never let him get off easy, says 2 words and punches him in the face.
There were some scientists who theorized that the Ark was a giant capacitor. A capacitor is an electronic component that can build up and store a charge of electricity. If it is grounded (or touched) anyone touching it would be shocked. So, the very act of carrying the Ark out in the desert with all the dry air and walking around would be like rubbing a wool sock, building up a charge, and touching someone for a shock. The Israelites were strictly told not to touch or 'steady' the ark because it would kill them. Only carry it by the posts and were probably non-conductive.
You were right not to trust Katanga...meaning, that's what the director wanted with that camera angle, and his curious behavior. We weren't supposed to trust him 100% until exactly the right time.
I love how the climax of the film really felt like that Old Testament style "smiting", like how Genesis describes God destroying the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with sulfur and fire for their wickedness. He told Lot and his family to flee and "not look back", but his wife turns and looks and is burned into a pillar of salt. It was cool how Indy knew not to look.
6:30- Been an archer for 15 years..hitting a running target is tough with those kind of bows..they're not meant for long-range like my setup. And the plane propellers kick up enough wind to blow those arrows off-target-mine are twice the size/weight and still a 7 MPH breeze ruins many a bull's eye for me on 30 yard shots. 7:25-LOL...Ford was Voted "Sexiest Man Of The Year" twice that decade, the girls probably weren't faking the dreamy look.
I was watching the news today and they have an auction going on from things that were used in movies. For instance : ET - The Bike They Used In ET - The Ark Of The Covenant from Raiders Of The Lost Ark - The Dance Floor From " Saturday Night Fever ". Just to name a of many.
"When I hear his voice I hear Gimli." I'm old enough to have watched the original Shogun miniseries on TV when it came out (I was just a kid then), so when I hear John Rhys-Davies' voice I hear Vasco Rodriguez's voice! :D (Btw... A welshman playing a Spaniard AND an Egyptian... Today the twitterati would go into a spin if a movie cast actors like that. ;)) Loved your commentary on the movie and expressions btw. Great stuff! Thank you.
Great reaction. This has always been one of my favorite movies. Adventure, travel, love, biblical implications. Always loved this movie seen it many times. 😊👏👏🥰
"Raiders of the Lost Ark": A youngster is about to go globe trotting with Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. What will she make of this, "old, fast-moving, action-packed, character-centered, romp through tombs?" Spielberg wanted to do a "James Bond movie," but Lucas suggested the 1930's cliffhanger movie serials. Second choice Harrison Ford got to create another iconic movie character. Karen Allen made "Marion Ravenwood" Indy's equal, who could drink a Neanderthal under the table, but was all Woman. With enough action scenes for THREE movies of this genre, it convinced a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists. Yep, I liked Indiana Jones right off the bat.;)
I love that the eyes move on the golden idol from the beginning. It's a weird little fact that I missed the first hundred times I watched this until it was pointed out to me that it's watching Indy approach over the trap floor. Really explains the setting where mystical/magical stuff exists but no one notices it.
This is the best of them all...Karen Allen is great and she reappears in the very last one so that is worth a watch just for the reunion of Marian and Indy..
15:27-15:35 This is an important scene in movie history. Also this only happened because the scene was originally gonna be a full on fight, but Harrison Ford had dysentery at the time, so he suggested that Indy just shoots the guy.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and what a pleasure it is to see such a beautiful young woman enjoying one of my favorite movies. I'm a long time Spielberg and Harrison Ford fan so, of course, this is one of my favorites. To me, it will always be just "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The "Indiana Jones and the" was added after the sequels were released. The call letters on the seaplane at the beginning of the film were OB-CPO. Images of R2-D2 and C-3PO can be seen among the hieroglyphs on a wall in the Well of Souls. The scene with the swordsman was supposed to be a long choreographed fight scene, but Harrison Ford, as well as most of the rest of the cast and crew had developed dysentery and could only stand for 15 minutes at a time. You can see it on his face right after he shoots the guy. They tried several times to film it as written, but couldn't make it work, so they decided to change it and an iconic scene was born. The line "It's not the years, honey, it's the milage" was ad-libbed by Ford. Spielberg is known for giving his stars wide latitude to improvise, such as the "You're going to need a bigger boat" line in Jaws. The second movie, Temple of Doom, is, in my opinion, the worst of the franchise (though I haven't seen the last one yet). The Last Crusade is at least as good as this one, plus it costars Sean Connery. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't nearly as bad as the haters say it is, even though it does costar Shia LaBeouf.
The scene with the guy with the sword being shot was supposed to be a a scene where Indy used his whip and fought him with it. But Harrison Ford got food poisoning and couldn't do it, so they improvised that on the spot.
Two things always happen every time I see someone react to this film: no one understands that the medallion with the one-sided inscription comes from the burned hand of that Nazi torturer and then that everyone thinks badly of Katanga even after he tried to save Indy and Marion telling the Nazis that the former was dead and the latter that they wanted to sell her to who knows what human trafficking. I don't know why, but it happens all the time. Everyone will tell you to only see the first three films, but I would ask you to see all five and not let anyone influence you.
Kahla if you want an older "boys" movie that no other reactors are doing, check out ZULU (1962) first big movie fir Michael Caine Based on True Events and actual People. heads up, the guy playing the Zulu King is actually his direct descendant!
Marion was a teenager (15/16. Lucas wanted to push it and start it when she was 11). Indy was her first love, but he was much older (mid 20s). So that's the "falling out" Indy had with Ravenwood (Marion's father, Indy's teacher), and Indy left and broke her heart.
35:27 It is the real ark. Inside the Ark was except for the stone tablets Aarons rod and a jar of manna. The relics did burn on the ship to keep them away.
Fun facts about the movie. 1. The swordsman scene was supposed to be a big fight , but Fird had fisentary the whole day and suggested to Spielberg that he had a gun and he should just shoot him. 2. In the well of souls scene when Indy comes face to face with the python, there is a flash of lightning. If you look on the wall to the right you can see the protective glass separating ford from the snake . Thevfx team didn’t have timetoexit it out
I've now watched every video on your channel (as long as it was something I haven't seen before. Your LotR reactions were the best so far btw. Completely excellent.) You are such a genuine, astute and goodhearted lady and I appreciate you sharing it in your reactions, with we the audience, so much. If you are taking suggestions here are a few movies and shows I recommend to watch if you haven't seen them already: *Merlin* (a BBC series that is amazing and so underrated. It is genius in terms of character and acting, generally pretty good story wise as well, despite a couple of suspension of disbelief or slight inconsistency type things that are forgivable due to how great it is overall), *Avatar: the Last Airbender* , *Hidalgo* , *Padington* 1&2, *Alita: Battle Angel* (underrated), *Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* is the best of the ones Disney put out and the most accurate. It's a 10/10 but I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen it when you were young. The other two have their great elements making it worth a watch despite straying too far from the books in plot, and oftentimes character, for my taste), *The Secret World of Arrietty* (a Studio Ghibli adaptation of The Borrowers), *Castle in the Sky* (another Ghibli film), and if possible *Spy x Family* (I'm not sure how possible these last three ones are, I'm pretty sure that animes and Studio Ghibli tend to be a bit trickier with copyright) There are lots more that could be suggested. Mostly oldies but goodies, *The Lady Vanishes* (1938), *Shane* (a western), *Fandango* (1985), *Arsenic and Old Lace* (very fun and bizarre), *Father Goose* (1964) and *Gaslight* . In case you haven't watched it (or if you always have a great reaction to it), *It's a Wonderful Life* is a must watch, especially perfect for around Christmas time. No idea if you've seen these animated films already but also: *A Bugs Life* , *The Fox and the Hound* , *Up* , *Toy Story* (1,2&3), *Nemo* , *Megamind* , *The Incredibles* , *The Iron Giant* ,and *Wreck it Ralph* .
Wow I made it 7 comments down before I stopped and I didn't see one person sharing this Viggo Mortensen broken toe overshared movie fact. In the funny scene in the marketplace. When Indiana just pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy with the big sword. There was actually supposed to be a Fairly long choreographed fight between the 2 of them. But the day that they filmed this Harrison Ford Came down with the flu but they didn't have time to stop filming. Him just pulling the pistol and shooting the guy was Harrison Ford's compromise to still shooting the scene Rather than recuperating.
Hey this is a great reaction. Your line "Don't put the public around that" made me laiugh out loud because its so true lol. You got yourself a new subscriber!
1. While filming in Tunisia most of the cast got food poisoning and Ford actually got diarrhea from it. and was very ill. The scene where he shoots the guy was supposed to be another long fight scene but Ford was feeling so bad and it was terribly hot so he basically said, "The hell with this" and just shot the guy. 2. Karen Allen played Boone's squeeze in "Animal House" HINT HINT 3. If you don't like spiders you're going to love the next one. It's very good and it's adventurous. Billy is a pain in the ass though. 4. Two overlooked Harrison Ford movies worth a first time/share are: "Witness" and "Force 10 From Navarone" 5. There's no way he could swim between two vessels underway. 6. Coolest final death scene in cinema history. 7. The ride at Disneyland is pretty cool. Make sure it's one of your first to get it out of the way before the line gets too long. Adventureland. (If you can still afford it)🙄 That other professor is played by Denholm Elliot. He played Coleman in, "Trading Places".
Someday maybe you can watch "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" with Sean Patrick Flanery. It was a really good TV show. I'll tell you a bit more about it with "The Last Crusade."💙
Before it's release the film was given an (R) rating, mainly due to the graphic deaths in the films climax. Spielberg and the special effects department added the flames in front of Belloq's face to slightly obscure his head exploding and his fingers getting blasted off. He resubmitted it to the MPAA and he got his (PG) rating.
Hey remember in Lord of the Rings when Pippin swipes the palantir from sleeping Gandalf and leaves a jug in its place? That was an homage to the golden idol scene in this movie.
I hear there are talks of a new Indiana Jones animated series with Indiana being a transgendered woman who is Indiana's son Mutt Williams. They may change the name, though.
There are more than three. There's Raiders of the Lost Ark; Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the....No, you're right. There's only three.
Hi Kahla, I love watching your videos, your observations and insight are always fantastic! A movie I think you might really enjoy is Ex Machina. It's a movie that asks some very interesting questions of the viewer and stays with you long after it's over. I'd absolutely love to see you react to it and hear your thoughts.
the opening scene of this movie with the gold Idol is so famous. if you like and enjoy the simpsons look up indiana jones simpsons ; the opening after the credits is bart as indy (homer is the big rock boulder supposed to be etc) it's hysterical and awesome!!!
Actually Spielberg had already done this exact same joke in his earlier movie ‘1941’ but that film flopped but Spielberg liked the joke so much he used it again in this movie.
Your channel just randomly popped up in my feed, and I’ve gotta say, you are such an authentically and genuinely beautiful woman, with what seems to be a very pure spirit❤ Keep up the good work!
The mouse that "freaked" out in the ship's hold with the boxed up ark was not acting, it had epilepsy and had a seizure as they were filming the swastika being burnt off the box.
I was 11 when this came out, I saw it in a sold out theater. Being an 11 year old boy, I thought that scene was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! 😁
The whole "Do Not Open" thing. I made that mistake once. Nothing ever came into my U.S. Army armory again after that. If i can't open it, it doesn't belong in my domain, i will put that shit in the hallway, and and report you for dropping it off in the first place.
@@ronweber1402 I can and have stared down the suits. Not my shit. Not on my property book. It's yours because you asked. Otherwise, it goes in the burn pit. Bye.
10:24 um yeah its weird but here is a basic thing about it "The script states that Marion's age in Raiders is 25 years old, making her around 15 at the time of the affair with a 27-year-old Indiana Jones." So.... Yeah he did wrong. The idea i believe was to make Indy not a hero but a flawed man who does sometimes align with good because deep down he wants to be good even if he doesnt act on it. Still weird though.
16:57 the sequel is considered a soft prequel, in that the frenchman is somewhat right about the indy in that film but he has grown more mature and in this film he is the shadow of how indy could have been if he didnt mature. He matures even more in this and its results are evident in the third film (all that being said, this is the first film you watch if you watch the indiana jones series.)
@@billthomas478 dude please stop giving misinformation just because you hate the last two movies doesn’t mean no one else can like them you can’t make everyone pretend they don’t exist.
"It's a pretty dress. But I don't understand why!" The answer is because he's French. Get it? Ooo-la-la, oui, oui! French are supposed to be romantic and sexually libertine. So now you know.
Years ago I managed a movie theater. One weekend we showed Raiders and we had the woman who played Marion (Karen Allen) as our guest. She signed autographs for the audience after the film. She was SUCH a sweetheart.
I told her I was a huge fan of Raiders and I adored her character.
She was gracious enough to give me an autograph, It's a picture of her, in the bar, looking at the medallion and she wrote:
To Josh,
I'm your goddamn partner,
Karen Allien (clearly a reference to the scene at 13:04).
and of course, I still have it. She was so nice and it was a pleasure to meet her ☺️.
That’s so cool!

It's such a 😬😬😬😅😅😆 moment.
I saw this with my Dad at 14 when it first came out. One of the few times we had together without the rest of the family. We talked about a lot of things afterward that stay with me even today.
It was a thing in the 80's for girls captured in movies to get dressed up by their captors, most famously, of course was Jabba and Leia
I would say Leia was dressed down.
Not just the '80s... The "damsel in distress" trope goes back to the dawn of cinema at least, if not to antiquity and the birth of theater. At least with Marion, we have a damsel who's actually not justy quite salty but also rather capable, which was a bit of a twist on the concept at the time. :)

The Da Vinci Code (2006) as well: Bishop Manuel Aringarosa.
Ooooohhh... Yes I finally see that this is Doc Ock! :D Thank you for this bit of trivia, that's really cool. :)
So this wouldn’t be the last time he had to deal with spiders….
WOW, only an hour ago I was thinking to myself, "I want to see a Kahla reaction to Raiders." Thank YOU!!
"All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics. Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this IS history."

These films were set up like the short adventure serials shown back in the 30s and 40s as warmups for the main movies at theaters. They stood out as different from other movies even when released, and are still special. Lucas, Spielberg, Williams, and Harrison Ford, how could you miss? You'll like the next two for sure (the third is my favorite).
I feel bad for that monkey in the same way I felt bad for Captain America... he had a date.
It's simply
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
There's no Indiana Jones in the title.
It was Paramount's idea to put Indiana Jones on the boxes.
They thought people are too stupid to understand that Raiders of the Lost Ark connects with the other movies.
They did it so they could stick all of movies together on VHS and DVD in stores. Alphabetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark would have shown up further down the rack.
When I see you smiling you made my day! I like so much your reactions and more today, with one of the best sagas ever!! I´ll follow you this entire journey.
9:40 That suspicious character behind the magazine is a cameo of Dennis Muren, the special effects supervisor of the Indy films, the original Star Wars trilogy, and Jurassic Park among countless other blockbusters.
You legit always notice something I've never noticed in movies I've seen a thousand times.
Again, I just had the best time. I love watching a movie with a smart beauty with hilarious comments. I've been here from the beginning. You got this. I still believe you are gonna break through.
The opening scene is the climax of a "Treasure of Sierra Madre" type story: Indy and the other two each had one piece of the map, so they had to work together to find the temple. Gun guy thought they reached the end, and tried to betray the two others to get the treasure for himself.
15:22 It is said that while filming this scene, Harrison Ford was sick, so rather than doing the whole elaborate fighting scene they had rehearsed, Harrison asked the Director if he couldn't just shoot the guy instead.
Marion is young, their argument in the beginning implies she was too you for any kind of romantic relationship with Indy the last time they met.
In the original writeup Marion was supposed to have been 14 and Indy 24 which would have lined up with him being a graduate student but in the revised version they made Marion 17 and Indy 27, not much better but not quite as rapey as 14. Now by saying not quite as rapey this is by 1980's standards today it would be equally disgusting.
Yes. Harrison Ford and most of the rest of the cast and crew came down with food poisoning. The only one who didn't was Director Steven Spielberg, and that's because he brought his own food with him.
I don't think this is a spoiler, but if you happen to watch "Captain America", there is a throwaway line from someone who scoffs about Hitler: "The Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert." It's just an amusing callback to this movie.
That’s because Joe Johnston, whose job was “Art Director: Visual Effects, ILM” on this movie, directed Captain America: The First Avenger. Also, both movies were released by Paramount Pictures before Disney purchased Lucasfilm and Marvel. The man who scoffed was the main antagonist, Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. The Red Skull.
Correct! The Nazis really did treasure hunt. Hitler was massively into the occult.
Captain Katanga was a good man.
I remember when I was a kid, and at a Toy Store, I saw the Cairo Swordsman figure, and was like "That dude was killed in 5 seconds, why would I buy him!?"
Because he was an imposing character? You can play out your own scene with action figures and have anything happen, just ask Dark Helmet.
Growing up, my mother always made me close my eyes during the ark opening scene. I always thought it couldn't be that bad. Then I watched it for the first time and realized yeah, it was that bad. 😂 Horrifying
LOL! Yeah, that deep warbling is never a good thing, is it? Fun one, Kahla! I enjoyed rewatching this with you. Indy 3 is my favorite of the series, but they are all a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂
15:32 Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned the background to this classic scene. There was a whole fight sequence storyboarded and rehearsed with the swordman and Indy with his whip. Sadly on the day of the shoot Harrison and many of the crew had been suffering with dysentery and just wasn't up to the task of performing and so he famously asked Speilberg over lunch: "Why don't I just shoot the sucker ?" He agreed and history was made.
What surprises me is that no one yet has taken a look at the storage at the end. Same structure as Warehouse 13.
Looking forward to living my teen years again, vicariously, through you. I hope against hope that you are going to react at least to the first three IJ movies. Thanks for the post Kahla. Kudos 😊
“I was embarrassingly old when I realized that (“Raiders”) is a Jewish revenge fantasy against the Nazis.”

Belloc doesn't want to see her tortured. He's trying to seduce the information of of her. The man's French.
Some trivia almost no one mentions: The actor who played the chubby Government guy with blonde hair (William Hootkins) was a pilot attacking the Death Star in the Original Star Wars. He's one of the first to die when his ship collides with the Death Star, his character name is "Porkins".
Lucas could always come up with great names.. I mean... Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader.. but even the minor characters like starfighter pilots- Jek Porkins, Dak Ralter, Biggs Darklighter
For some reason all movie characters in the 80’s, when they suspected something was drugs or poison, would always taste it to be sure.
It didn’t seem weird back then but it definitely does now.
This was fun. Your commentary cracks me up. Looking forward to the rest.
let us all get on our knees and thank God for
Spielberg and Lucas
You're damn right! I saw STAR WARS when I was 7 in a sold out theater. I saw Raiders in a sold old theater when I was 11. Though not exclusively, those two movies sparked my imagination and turned me into a movie lover.
Indy should of kept this woman, shes a ride or die and a badass one at that. Plus she never let him get off easy, says 2 words and punches him in the face.
Kahla definitely pointed out something that I never noticed before. Whoever crosses Indy gets got, even Crystal the Monkey.
There were some scientists who theorized that the Ark was a giant capacitor. A capacitor is an electronic component that can build up and store a charge of electricity. If it is grounded (or touched) anyone touching it would be shocked. So, the very act of carrying the Ark out in the desert with all the dry air and walking around would be like rubbing a wool sock, building up a charge, and touching someone for a shock. The Israelites were strictly told not to touch or 'steady' the ark because it would kill them. Only carry it by the posts and were probably non-conductive.
Hey when she said “Oh & John Williams did the music for this, too?” who else went “ba ba ba baaa, ba ba baaaaa, ba ba ba baaaa…ba-ba, ba. ba. ba!”🤭
I actually did 😄
You were right not to trust Katanga...meaning, that's what the director wanted with that camera angle, and his curious behavior. We weren't supposed to trust him 100% until exactly the right time.
I love how the climax of the film really felt like that Old Testament style "smiting", like how Genesis describes God destroying the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with sulfur and fire for their wickedness. He told Lot and his family to flee and "not look back", but his wife turns and looks and is burned into a pillar of salt. It was cool how Indy knew not to look.
6:30- Been an archer for 15 years..hitting a running target is tough with those kind of bows..they're not meant for long-range like my setup. And the plane propellers kick up enough wind to blow those arrows off-target-mine are twice the size/weight and still a 7 MPH breeze ruins many a bull's eye for me on 30 yard shots. 7:25-LOL...Ford was Voted "Sexiest Man Of The Year" twice that decade, the girls probably weren't faking the dreamy look.
I was watching the news today and they have an auction going on from things that were used in movies. For instance : ET - The Bike They Used In ET - The Ark Of The Covenant from Raiders Of The Lost Ark - The Dance Floor From " Saturday Night Fever ". Just to name a of many.
"When I hear his voice I hear Gimli."
I'm old enough to have watched the original Shogun miniseries on TV when it came out (I was just a kid then), so when I hear John Rhys-Davies' voice I hear Vasco Rodriguez's voice! :D
(Btw... A welshman playing a Spaniard AND an Egyptian... Today the twitterati would go into a spin if a movie cast actors like that. ;))
Loved your commentary on the movie and expressions btw. Great stuff! Thank you.
In case you missed it, his porter, Sapito, was played by Alfred Molina, the guy who played Doc Ock in the Spider-Man movies.
Great reaction. This has always been one of my favorite movies. Adventure, travel, love, biblical implications. Always loved this movie seen it many times. 😊👏👏🥰
The role of Indiana Jones was supposed to have been played by Tom Selleck, but he was busy working on the tv show "Magnum P.I."
The spy on the plane behind the "Life" magazine was played by Dennis Muren, legendary Visual FX artist.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark": A youngster is about to go globe trotting with Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. What will she make of this, "old, fast-moving, action-packed, character-centered, romp through tombs?" Spielberg wanted to do a "James Bond movie," but Lucas suggested the 1930's cliffhanger movie serials. Second choice Harrison Ford got to create another iconic movie character. Karen Allen made "Marion Ravenwood" Indy's equal, who could drink a Neanderthal under the table, but was all Woman. With enough action scenes for THREE movies of this genre, it convinced a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists. Yep, I liked Indiana Jones right off the bat.;)
I love that the eyes move on the golden idol from the beginning. It's a weird little fact that I missed the first hundred times I watched this until it was pointed out to me that it's watching Indy approach over the trap floor. Really explains the setting where mystical/magical stuff exists but no one notices it.
This is the best of them all...Karen Allen is great and she reappears in the very last one so that is worth a watch just for the reunion of Marian and Indy..
15:27-15:35
This is an important scene in movie history. Also this only happened because the scene was originally gonna be a full on fight, but Harrison Ford had dysentery at the time, so he suggested that Indy just shoots the guy.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and what a pleasure it is to see such a beautiful young woman enjoying one of my favorite movies. I'm a long time Spielberg and Harrison Ford fan so, of course, this is one of my favorites. To me, it will always be just "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The "Indiana Jones and the" was added after the sequels were released.
The call letters on the seaplane at the beginning of the film were OB-CPO.
Images of R2-D2 and C-3PO can be seen among the hieroglyphs on a wall in the Well of Souls.
The scene with the swordsman was supposed to be a long choreographed fight scene, but Harrison Ford, as well as most of the rest of the cast and crew had developed dysentery and could only stand for 15 minutes at a time. You can see it on his face right after he shoots the guy. They tried several times to film it as written, but couldn't make it work, so they decided to change it and an iconic scene was born.
The line "It's not the years, honey, it's the milage" was ad-libbed by Ford. Spielberg is known for giving his stars wide latitude to improvise, such as the "You're going to need a bigger boat" line in Jaws.
The second movie, Temple of Doom, is, in my opinion, the worst of the franchise (though I haven't seen the last one yet). The Last Crusade is at least as good as this one, plus it costars Sean Connery. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't nearly as bad as the haters say it is, even though it does costar Shia LaBeouf.
It's funny how the most badass, seemingly fearless archaeology professor in cinematic history was ophidiophobic (terrified of snakes).
The scene with the guy with the sword being shot was supposed to be a a scene where Indy used his whip and fought him with it. But Harrison Ford got food poisoning and couldn't do it, so they improvised that on the spot.
Two things always happen every time I see someone react to this film: no one understands that the medallion with the one-sided inscription comes from the burned hand of that Nazi torturer and then that everyone thinks badly of Katanga even after he tried to save Indy and Marion telling the Nazis that the former was dead and the latter that they wanted to sell her to who knows what human trafficking. I don't know why, but it happens all the time. Everyone will tell you to only see the first three films, but I would ask you to see all five and not let anyone influence you.

ZULU (1962) first big movie fir Michael Caine

heads up, the guy playing the Zulu King is actually his direct descendant!
The third one is my favorite
Marion was a teenager (15/16. Lucas wanted to push it and start it when she was 11). Indy was her first love, but he was much older (mid 20s). So that's the "falling out" Indy had with Ravenwood (Marion's father, Indy's teacher), and Indy left and broke her heart.
35:27
It is the real ark.
Inside the Ark was except for the stone tablets Aarons rod and a jar of manna.
The relics did burn on the ship to keep them away.
George Lucas loved the old movies that did that kind of adventure so he themed it for that era.
This is one of my favorite movies ever!!!
Fun facts about the movie.
1. The swordsman scene was supposed to be a big fight , but Fird had fisentary the whole day and suggested to Spielberg that he had a gun and he should just shoot him.
2. In the well of souls scene when Indy comes face to face with the python, there is a flash of lightning. If you look on the wall to the right you can see the protective glass separating ford from the snake . Thevfx team didn’t have timetoexit it out
Karen Allen (Marion) was Scottie Smalls' mom in The Sandlot...your're killin me Smalls 😂😂😂
I've now watched every video on your channel (as long as it was something I haven't seen before. Your LotR reactions were the best so far btw. Completely excellent.) You are such a genuine, astute and goodhearted lady and I appreciate you sharing it in your reactions, with we the audience, so much.
If you are taking suggestions here are a few movies and shows I recommend to watch if you haven't seen them already:
*Merlin* (a BBC series that is amazing and so underrated. It is genius in terms of character and acting, generally pretty good story wise as well, despite a couple of suspension of disbelief or slight inconsistency type things that are forgivable due to how great it is overall), *Avatar: the Last Airbender* , *Hidalgo* , *Padington* 1&2, *Alita: Battle Angel* (underrated), *Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* is the best of the ones Disney put out and the most accurate. It's a 10/10 but I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen it when you were young. The other two have their great elements making it worth a watch despite straying too far from the books in plot, and oftentimes character, for my taste), *The Secret World of Arrietty* (a Studio Ghibli adaptation of The Borrowers), *Castle in the Sky* (another Ghibli film), and if possible *Spy x Family* (I'm not sure how possible these last three ones are, I'm pretty sure that animes and Studio Ghibli tend to be a bit trickier with copyright)
There are lots more that could be suggested.
Mostly oldies but goodies, *The Lady Vanishes* (1938), *Shane* (a western), *Fandango* (1985), *Arsenic and Old Lace* (very fun and bizarre), *Father Goose* (1964) and *Gaslight* . In case you haven't watched it (or if you always have a great reaction to it), *It's a Wonderful Life* is a must watch, especially perfect for around Christmas time.
No idea if you've seen these animated films already but also: *A Bugs Life* , *The Fox and the Hound* , *Up* , *Toy Story* (1,2&3), *Nemo* , *Megamind* , *The Incredibles* , *The Iron Giant* ,and *Wreck it Ralph* .
He has five movies AND a tv series in the late 80s called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, plus probably some novels.
Wow I made it 7 comments down before I stopped and I didn't see one person sharing this Viggo Mortensen broken toe overshared movie fact.
In the funny scene in the marketplace. When Indiana just pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy with the big sword. There was actually supposed to be a Fairly long choreographed fight between the 2 of them. But the day that they filmed this Harrison Ford Came down with the flu but they didn't have time to stop filming. Him just pulling the pistol and shooting the guy was Harrison Ford's compromise to still shooting the scene Rather than recuperating.
Hey this is a great reaction. Your line "Don't put the public around that" made me laiugh out loud because its so true lol. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Something the Ark is said to contain are the stone tablets that God wrote the 10 Commandments on, the sand is supposed to be what is left of them.
1. While filming in Tunisia most of the cast got food poisoning and Ford actually got diarrhea from it. and was very ill. The scene where he shoots the guy
was supposed to be another long fight scene but Ford was feeling so bad and it was terribly hot so he basically said, "The hell with this" and just shot the guy.
2. Karen Allen played Boone's squeeze in "Animal House" HINT HINT
3. If you don't like spiders you're going to love the next one. It's very good and it's adventurous. Billy is a pain in the ass though.
4. Two overlooked Harrison Ford movies worth a first time/share are: "Witness" and "Force 10 From Navarone"
5. There's no way he could swim between two vessels underway.
6. Coolest final death scene in cinema history.
7. The ride at Disneyland is pretty cool. Make sure it's one of your first to get it out of the way before the line gets too long. Adventureland. (If you can still afford it)🙄
That other professor is played by Denholm Elliot. He played Coleman in, "Trading Places".
Someday maybe you can watch "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" with Sean Patrick Flanery. It was a really good TV show. I'll tell you a bit more about it with "The Last Crusade."💙
Please watch the next 2 Indy movies! 😃🥹
Before it's release the film was given an (R) rating, mainly due to the graphic deaths in the films climax. Spielberg and the special effects department added the flames in front of Belloq's face to slightly obscure his head exploding and his fingers getting blasted off. He resubmitted it to the MPAA and he got his (PG) rating.
Spielberg and Williams at their peak. They were untouchable.
Hey remember in Lord of the Rings when Pippin swipes the palantir from sleeping Gandalf and leaves a jug in its place? That was an homage to the golden idol scene in this movie.
7:40
The actor to the left is same guy who played Rogue 2, Zev Senesca on Hoth in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back.
That was a different actor that played Zev (Rogue 2). This actor played Jek Porkins in Episode IV.

Yes he do.
He said that he grew up on that and that it was his family label.

There are only three Indiana Jones movies.
I hear there are talks of a new Indiana Jones animated series with Indiana being a transgendered woman who is Indiana's son Mutt Williams. They may change the name, though.

Hi Kahla, I love watching your videos, your observations and insight are always fantastic!
A movie I think you might really enjoy is Ex Machina. It's a movie that asks some very interesting questions of the viewer and stays with you long after it's over.
I'd absolutely love to see you react to it and hear your thoughts.
the opening scene of this movie with the gold Idol is so famous. if you like and enjoy the simpsons look up indiana jones simpsons ; the opening after the credits is bart as indy (homer is the big rock boulder supposed to be etc) it's hysterical and awesome!!!
Spielberg had been holding on to that menacing hanger idea for a while, this was the first movie he managed to fit it in. 😛
Actually Spielberg had already done this exact same joke in his earlier movie ‘1941’ but that film flopped but Spielberg liked the joke so much he used it again in this movie.
Fun fact: that place where they put the arc, it is Area 51

The mouse that "freaked" out in the ship's hold with the boxed up ark was not acting, it had epilepsy and had a seizure as they were filming the swastika being burnt off the box.

10:24 um yeah its weird but here is a basic thing about it "The script states that Marion's age in Raiders is 25 years old, making her around 15 at the time of the affair with a 27-year-old Indiana Jones." So.... Yeah he did wrong. The idea i believe was to make Indy not a hero but a flawed man who does sometimes align with good because deep down he wants to be good even if he doesnt act on it. Still weird though.
It's such an 80s/90s trope to have the damsel-in-distress wearing a beautiful dress - it feels kind of f3ti$hizing to me
It wasn't a "trope" in 1936 when the movie is set.
@bossfan49 Correct. But it's a movie made in the 80s, geared to 80s movie-goers and 80s tastes. It's not like it's historically accurate to the 30s.

If you watch the temple of doom, it’s a prequel to raiders of the lost ark not a sequel.
16:57 the sequel is considered a soft prequel, in that the frenchman is somewhat right about the indy in that film but he has grown more mature and in this film he is the shadow of how indy could have been if he didnt mature. He matures even more in this and its results are evident in the third film (all that being said, this is the first film you watch if you watch the indiana jones series.)
It isn't a soft prequel it is a full prequel taking place I think 3 years before Raiders.
