Yeah because there wasn’t some guy on set… ah no worries we’ll get it in post! Back then they had to know if it was achievable right there and then or the shot failed. I think this is why the prequels and now sequels of Star Wars sucked so bad, because there were no limits to what they could do… and sometimes obstacles and limitations force you to be at your highest level of creativity.
Fully agree with use of in camera effects over CGI. I was so bummed when I saw that chase scene in the jungle...it would watching Beetlejuice 2 but now Beetlejuice is now a CGI character and loses all of its scariness and charm of the film!

This was one of the most criticized scenes in the franchise until Crystal Skull came out tho, and seen plenty of people complaining about it after as well.
They're blown away that someone was smart enough to figure out how to throw an inflatable raft with a dummy out of an airplane, someone else figured out how to point a camera at it the whole time, and someone else figured out how to edit the cut so it didn't look like ass. All things beyond the ability of modern filmmakers, apparently.
Excellent analysis, gentlemen, would you care to provide links to some of your work, in which, you show the OPs and the comment section examples of your own mind blowing film shots. You guys sound like “guitar-guy” who frequents musician videos!only to complain and imply they’d do better. Most turn out to be salty failures at music, are you salty failures at film?
No it wasn't, it was Busted, by quite a wide margin. Buster rode the raft down and the impact shattered him and scattered pieces of him all over the place.
I believe they concluded that if you could use it as a parachute rather than riding it down as shown in the film, you might have a non-zero chance at survival, but it was still busted.
The original movies are almost entirely practical, and a significant amount of care was given to the productions. Not only that, there was a consistent theme among them - the search for religious artifacts, which (while not actually possessing supernatural powers) are or were real at one time. Crystal Skull had more CGI than the first three combined. It strayed from the theme, and had Indy chasing after a flimsy hoax. The story skipped over a significant part of the relationship between Indy and Marion that fans would've loved to see. And it was blatantly obvious that not as much care went into the finished product; it was only a cash grab off a popular but dormant franchise.
@@garyballard179 and the stones in temple of doom was based on what real artifact? Just because it has something to do with shiva doesn’t mean it’s a real Hindu artifact. ToD was a cash grab just like crystal scull. Big, flashy, and aged terribly.
@@Maiknarf3 The Sankara Stones are five real stones in Hindu. They are important religious artifacts. The crystal skull was bought at auction at Christie's, and passed off as a South American artifact. It has no historical or religious significance. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull had an equally significant story to its artifact.
All those things make sense in the moment. What would you have done? Land the plane? Jump without a parachute? Why doesn't anyone mention when young Indy climbs into a magic box where he's somehow teleported outside?
@@doddsino Good point about the magic box. I'm good with all the seemingly impossible stuff even the refrigerator. I'll take Indy 4 any day over the Dail of Nobody gives a $hit
I love this channel. I'm a big Indiana Jones fan, always have been, and I never gave much thought to this shot, until now. I always just bought into the moment even after many, many viewings. So yeah, it's crazy how they pulled this off, for sure!
That’s exactly why I think the refrigarator scene is not a problem : Indiana Jones can be serious movies, but they are clearly not realistic ones, a lot of scenes like this are here to be epic and funny, and it is !
This is my favorite shot from any movie I've seen since I was a kid and being 50 now, nothing has topped it. Every time I watch it I get hit in the feels, becuase it's such an awesome sequence all in one camera shot. ❤❤❤
The cutting of the rope bridge is so good, it looks like VFX. In fact they constructed mechanical dummies that realistically waved their arms and legs around as they fell. It looks just as realistic today as it did in the 1980s! There are some quirkier practical effects in the early Indiana Jones movies (let's not talk about the obvious reflection of the snake in the glass that Spielberg bizarrely left in the final cut of Raiders), but there's also some of the best examples of practical effects in movie history.
It's not the "most"... anymore, at least... but love it or hate it, it was long laughed at and/or ridiculed as being the most silly and unbelievable moment in the series. This was, of course... back before Crystal Skull came out.
The Ford Tri-Motor used for this shot used to be a part of a collection in Morgan Hill, California, at a restaurant called The Flying Lady. The restaurant and collection is long gone, replaced by a mathematics academy, but it was neat to be able to see a screen used aircraft from an Indiana Jones movie. The scene was shot in the Sierras, without the use of miniatures.
@@LuckyOwI777 you mean where they show dummies in an inflatable raft falling to the ground and then CUT before they show the human actors getting out of the inflatable thats on the ground ?
@@LuckyOwI777 i dont know if we are talking about the same thing anymore. this video said those were real people in the raft falling from the sky and their evidence was that there was no cut, but those were dummies and there was in fact a cut.

Basically dudes, yea it's a cool shot and really it dosen't matter how or why, it just made for a great goofy amazing movie. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Harrison Ford did a lot of his own stunts. I wouldn't be surprised I he was actually in that raft. These are the films I watched growing up. No CGI, just good old-fashioned stunts
You're excited. This was THE moment for my buddy and I to leave this franchise for good. This is just to freaking ridiculous. They can't expect me to suspend my disbelief THAT much. NO one would survive something like that.
Steven Spielberg said that he was taking this off of the movie serials that were shown every Saturday at children's matinees. These were 15 minute shorts that were cheesy and ended on a cliffhanger. There was Sky King and Flash Gordon. So that is why Indiana Jones is cheesy with cliffhangers.
@@Cyba_IT for how good they are at picking apart frames you'd think they'd notice different takes of a live action special effect being stitched together.
@@burritobowl0190 Yeah, I must've missed something. It just seems like a classic dummy shot with hard cut to real people that's been done a thousand times. Not sure what the fuss is about.
they know its not actual people in there, they're more just talking about the feat of getting the whole thing in frame the whole time, having it inflate in time, and not cutting once. Most movies these days would cut like 3 times in a shot like this.
I was a child in the 80s. This was always by far my favorite part of doom. Other than the cart/kalema part. I would get so excited when they got in the plane. I knew what was coming! I haven't thought about that feeling in so long. Thanks, guys. God, i wanted to be indiana jones, so bad. Screw Superman batman, not Spiderman. i definitely wanted to be Spiderman.
This is one of those moments where even your Average movie goer can see the magic that has been lost in cinema, nowadays that would be 100% cgi and 100% more ridiculous
I know the chances of surviving this are probably very low. But when it comes to either staying on the airplane or taking your changes with the raft , i'm taking the raft.
The chase scenes in crystal skulls was so boring with the heavy CGI which was trash compared to raider's chase scene with the trucks and using practical and in camera effects!
Having worked on emergency equipment such as life rafts I can tell you, even though the sides of the rafts have air, the bottoms of them do not. Indy and whoever else was on the raft would've basically hit the mountain with a thin layer of rubber as their cushion. They would've died instantly.
The force of impact is mitigated by the slope of the mountain. However, in this case the slope seems to be a 20 to 30 degree incline, meaning (using trigonometry and cosine) we get an impact force equivelent to about 85% to 90% of one landing on a flat surface from that height. Even at a 45 degree incline you can expect to experience 70% of the impact.
I knew it was a prequel because it is set in the year is 1935. Raiders is set one year later. The year is shown at the beginning of both films. Not that it makes a difference because even though Indy believes in the power of the Sankara stones, he goes right back to being the skeptical atheist in Raiders. (I say *atheist" not as a slur, but bc Spielberg spoke of Indy's journey in Raiders as a man who goes from being an atheist to an agnostic.")
@@TheBluerayxx when I was a little kid watching raiders, in my head it was a film from around the WW2 days. But I also knew it wasn't filmed that long ago. I was a confused 6 yr old!
And it syncs up perfectly with the music. I think people are harder on the refrigerator scene from Crystal skull because it was CGI and not real. This franchise revels in its stunts, so The CGI ones are more frowned upon.
Imagine them doing the fridge scene from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull practically. Even with a dummy they'd still have to find a way to create something like a nuclear explosion.
Planes have an amount of fuel that is unuseable, whether from the fuel pump not being able to reach it or some other reason, like the tanks not having enough pressure to make the pump work. So there very well could have been fuel still in that plane
I want to know who grew up in the seventies/eighties who can sit there and not being dishonest say they've ever hated that scene There's no way that would happen well of course unless they're being dishonest. Although I can easily see why someone who grew up afterwards might think it looks bad or cheesy... But I still love it like I'm 7 years old again!
Suspending your disbelief is a must for an Indiana Jones movie. The reason scenes like this work is the execution. It's a genuinely fun scene, with the music, the practical special effects, the actors ... and it's done in such a way that you think maybe, just maybe, someone could pull this off. By contrast, the fridge scene in Crystal Skull is like every other scene in that movie -- it's boring.
Putting "Most hated moment" in the title while you analyzed the fridge scene in the same episode is abold move.
Bruh the fridge scene is peak digital cinema
That wasn’t from an Indians jones movie. That was from a movie parodying the Indians jones franchise
idon't seepeople type abold alot.

The legends of practical effects. My personal favorite is 'Cut Throat Island' where they blow up an entire pirate ship.
People hate this, yet they're okay with Young Indy using a 'magic box'.
When I was these guys' age, we just called this "special effects". It was all pretty amazing back in the day.
Having worked on emergency equipment such as life rafts I can tell you, even though the sides of the rafts have air, the bottoms of them do not. Indy and whoever else was on the raft would've basically hit the mountain with a thin layer of rubber as their cushion. They would've died instantly.
The fridge was enough to make people walk out of the theater.
They did this on mythbusters and they struggled to keep Buster in the raft.
Practical effects FTW!
Would never convince with CG- would be too far-fetched. 😊
That is called cinema. I’m exhausted of green screen and special effects. If you can’t do it in camera, Don’t.
The force of impact is mitigated by the slope of the mountain. However, in this case the slope seems to be a 20 to 30 degree incline, meaning (using trigonometry and cosine) we get an impact force equivelent to about 85% to 90% of one landing on a flat surface from that height.
Even at a 45 degree incline you can expect to experience 70% of the impact.
guys - you are pros? You can the cut.
I remember the cinema in 1984 and myself and the whole room just screaming out loud and laughing out loud the whole way down!
Who else didn’t realise that Temple of Doom was a prequel to the 1st movie 🤯
wait, are you serious?
I knew it was a prequel because it is set in the year is 1935. Raiders is set one year later. The year is shown at the beginning of both films. Not that it makes a difference because even though Indy believes in the power of the Sankara stones, he goes right back to being the skeptical atheist in Raiders. (I say *atheist" not as a slur, but bc Spielberg spoke of Indy's journey in Raiders as a man who goes from being an atheist to an agnostic.")
@@TheBluerayxx when I was a little kid watching raiders, in my head it was a film from around the WW2 days. But I also knew it wasn't filmed that long ago. I was a confused 6 yr old!
Shang-Hai was a bit of a giveaway
What happen to short round?
I've praised them moment for years it's such a cool shot
This is why practical effects always are better. Still amazing 40 years later.
Any critics under 40 are not valid for movies made before 2000
You can stop watching after that part 😂
And it syncs up perfectly with the music.
I think people are harder on the refrigerator scene from Crystal skull because it was CGI and not real. This franchise revels in its stunts, so The CGI ones are more frowned upon.
Imagine them doing the fridge scene from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull practically. Even with a dummy they'd still have to find a way to create something like a nuclear explosion.
Temple of doom is hands down the best Indy movie and top 5 action movies from the 80’s.
And then the plane with no more fuel crashes and blows up with no fuel.
Planes have an amount of fuel that is unuseable, whether from the fuel pump not being able to reach it or some other reason, like the tanks not having enough pressure to make the pump work. So there very well could have been fuel still in that plane
Point taken. I know the guys at ILM that worked on that shot, and even they thought that explosion was over the top! :-) @@skyraider87
They cut to a different angle a second after it touched down. I loved this, but never tell me how impossible the fridge scene is while this exists.
It’s uncut until just before real people are placed in the raft.
She nailed that scream
The mythbusters tested this scenario and found that you could’ve survived this without even breaking a bone
Despite some unbelievable scenes, it was a very entertaining movie. I have watched it a dozen times and saw it in the theater when it opened.
I swear, when I saw the thumbnail for this Short I thought Bradley Cooper was in an Indiana Jones remake. 🤔
I want to know who grew up in the seventies/eighties who can sit there and not being dishonest say they've ever hated that scene
There's no way that would happen well of course unless they're being dishonest.
Although I can easily see why someone who grew up afterwards might think it looks bad or cheesy... But I still love it like I'm 7 years old again!
I’ve always loved this moment, as a kid it was so exciting
2 seconds later it cuts to the WORST green screen footage ever 😂
Temple of Doom is an undeniable cinematic masterpiece.
You're telling me that none of you guys have ever seen this scene before, let alone this movie? As SFX artists? I call BS.
Suspending your disbelief is a must for an Indiana Jones movie. The reason scenes like this work is the execution. It's a genuinely fun scene, with the music, the practical special effects, the actors ... and it's done in such a way that you think maybe, just maybe, someone could pull this off. By contrast, the fridge scene in Crystal Skull is like every other scene in that movie -- it's boring.
There are stories of aircrew surviving falls out of WW2 bombers, without parachute, typically landing and skidding down a steep snowy slope.
