Fun Fact, the ending kind of comes out of nowhere because there was a deleted scene where the translator tells Indiana Jones that you're not supposed to look at the ark when it is opened, this is because in Judaism viewing the Ark is essentially looking at the face of God which mortals can't comprehend. The Idea is meant to be that Because the Nazi's don't respect Jewish teachings they are destroyed while Indy Survives because he has respected them.
Yeah, the film did pretty good incorporating the short descriptions of the Ark in the Old Testament - from what I recall. Down to the general appearance of the ark. Plus mortals were warned against looking into it, as it would be like 'looking upon the face of God'. Which no mortal could withstand.
I always thought it something bizarre that the Nazis, whose whole thing was killing the Jewish people, thought that a Jewish artifact was going to work for them. But, then again, supercessionism.
I saw this movie at the theater around 1985. I was completely blown away. It's my favorite adventure movie of all time. Romancing The Stone is another great adventure movie that is worth watching.

My grandfather taught me to not be afraid of snakes. We lived on a farm, and there were plenty of non-venomous black snakes in the area. If he came across one, he'd catch it and bring it to the house for me and my sister to touch. He would then release the snake into what we called a corn crib, a structure he stored corn in that hadn't been removed from the cob yet, where the snake hopefully kept mice away from the corn.

They did use the burn in the hand. That's how the Nazis found out the length of the Staff of Ra. But the burns only showed them one side of the medallion, not the backside which told that the staff needs to be shorter.

I don't think I have ever seen such a violent and immediate reaction to a snake appearing on the screen. 😂 Had to be genuine since it was so instantaneous. Why are you so frightened of snakes Chi? Did you have a bad experience?
Snakes very dangerous. Poison. Deadly to all people. Even Whoopi Goldberg. Some snakes will wrap themselves around a person and squeeze them to death. Even Whoopi Goldberg. Some snakes will even swallow a human being whole. Not Whoopi Goldberg.
Big snakes are rather common and kill a lot of people in their neck of the woods. More common of a phobia in South East Asia. My grandma used to live there and there was a local snake that had eaten multiple people just hanging out inside her car.
@@RussianBearMafia I don't think it's anything particular to Vietnam. Women dislike snakes the world over. They certainly do where I live in Appalachia. A significant slice of the population are afraid of them, anyway. Heck, there's a verse in Genesis about women being made to hate snakes.

23:10 "Maybe they can use that." They did! That's why the Nazis' staff had been too long, and therefore they were digging in the wrong place.

Just a bit of background on the Ark of the Covenant: This is part of the Christian and Hebrew (And I think Moslems as well) religion and dates back to around roughly 3000-1000 BC (Sorry I'm not a Historian, so not sure about the exact dates). The Ark was built by instruction from God to the Hebrews (Jews) while they were on their way to Israel from Egypt. That was when God gave the 10 commandments on 2 rock/clay tablets to Moses the leader of the Hebrews at the time. They were then supposed to put the tablets inside the Ark. There was a believe by some that while carrying the Ark into battle that they would not lose. There is actually an animated movie "The prince of Egypt" about this exact set of events. What happened about to the actual Ark is of course pure speculation and what this movie is about. Some of the other Indiana Jones movies are also about mythical Christian artifacts (The holy grail, that supposedly was used to capture Jesus's blood or some such). The holy grail is much more mythical and is not mentioned in religious texts as far as I know.
The Holy Grail became a big part of Arthurian legend, King Arthur of England, the one with Merlin and Lancelot, who sent his knights on a quest to find the grail. Like the real life crusaders who went on a 'quest' to secure the holy lands and became obsessed of artifacts they believed to be associated with Jesus and saints. Hence the 'Crusade' title of the 3rd movie. The mythical artifacts (reliquaries) fill up thousands of churches in Europe (mostly Germany, France and Spain). Like the Golden Shrine in the Cologne cathedral that supposedly houses the bones of the three Magi that visited Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem at Jesus' birth. The cathedral in Aachen houses the diapers of Jesus, a dress of Mary, a loincloth of Jesus, and a blanket that was used to carry the head of John the baptist after his decapitation. And so forth. (In Aachen is also a sarcophagus containing the bones of Charlemagne. As opposed to all the other artifacts, these are very probably the real deal.)
@@MartinBeerbom Very true, the Medieval folks were a superstitious bunch. I read quite a few historical fiction books, and they are rife with these religious trinkets (Also if you play King Crusaders, they are major aspect of the game). Unlike the ark though, that is explicitly mentioned in the religious text like the Bible, and probably did exist at the time (1000 BC), these trinkets were mostly wishful thinking.
A religious sect in Ethiopia say they have the Ark , some Monastery in the hills with 2 guys watching the door, but no one,s allowed to see it.Yeah right.
@@MartinBeerbom Well explained, but amazingly you left out Italy. I saw the crypts of St. Andrew and Matthew the Apostle in two duomo churches--and Rome? Everywhere you look.
The huge German guy fighting Indy by the plane was played by Pat Roach, a British actor and pro wrestler. Roach also played a big Sherpa who fights Indy in Marion's bar in Nepal. Roach is also in Temple of Doom and very briefly in The Last Crusade.
I'm sure a dozen people have already said this, but at 16:40 there's allegedly a story about that. Ford was sick on the day of filming, so he suggested Indy just shoot his opponent.
John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) has confirmed this. Most of the crew was sick too from eating some tainted local food. Spielberg himself wasn't sick. He had brought a trunk full of canned food and wouldn't eat anything local!
@@johnwest5837 There are some clips of the fight floating around so some of it was filmed, but I understand why they didn't include them. That scene got the biggest cheer of the whole movie when I saw it in the first release.
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. I grew up wanting to be just like Indiana Jones, and I've always thought that Karen Allen (who played Marion) is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
Part of what made Spielberg a great director is that he knew how to take a fact, in this case a historical fact and even series of facts, and build a story around it. In this case it was the Ark of the Covenant which really is lost to history, there is debate as to whether or not it existed and depending on which scholar you ask there are different theories as to what happened to it. There is also the fact that Hitler really did have an obsession with ancient relics. Alot of this had to do with the occult which puts heavy emphasis on ancient relics such as the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail. He believed that by finding these relics he was ensuring the Third Reichs continuation and success. Another fact which I thought was really cool, mainly because I find spy history really cool to read about, was that the Allies were in fact recruiting anyone with skills and knowledge, like Archeologists, into the different intelligence agencies for a variety of purposes which was the precursor to modern spy craft.
It's such fun to see your reactions to this old classic film, glad you found it exciting. When I was 8 years old, my favorite possessions were my .22 rifle and my 10 foot bullwhip. I never used the whip for a rope like Indiana Jones, but I did get really accurate with it. It was a time before video games, so I had plenty of time on my hands. The '70s was a much different time and we '70s kids were a lot different, too. We'd break a leg and walk it off, if you know what I mean. ;)
2:39 "I like his whip..." That's what she said :) 5:54 I'm surprised that they don't like big snakes. :) 16:34 'Never bring a sword to a gun fight.' ;) 17:40 Lol "I believe so." 22:08 Haha!
Snakes are actually beautiful animals. I have held them. They are cold to the touch and very smooth and dry. They only attack in self defence if you bother them, so don't bother them and they won't bother you. The snake is more scared of you. You are like a T-Rex to them. A giant. Fearing snakes is like an elephant fearing a mouse.
@aaronmicalowe There is no reason for an elephant to fear a mouse. A man can accidentally stumble across one and receive a deadly bite. It's entirely logical to fear snakes. If you like them, cool, but it's not analogous.
@@j.knight9335 Why do some people take everything so literally. I'm sure you've heard of the saying. A bit like ostriches and lemmings. You don't need to take them literally to understand the point being made. As for standing on snakes, perhaps be afraid of not looking where you're walking? That's far more dangerous than any snake.
22:41 Yeah, but I don't think she cares. :) 24:25 Why snakes... :D 25:54 Ok, they don't like big snakes :D 28:00 That is one of the funniest things ever.
😊you made me smile. Everything in this movie are still happening today. There are many documentary on that 1 artifact and people are still hunting for it right now. There are actually 2 of them and 1 of them is supposed to be in Ethiopia the other is missing. They say Vietnam has its own mysteries. With lost treasures and forgotten kingdoms.
4:05 "Such a bastard!!" Hella says it so cute and funny, I would almost take it as a compliment if she said it to me 🤣 4:23 "Come for the Bastard" I think they need to revise the movie credits: Alfred Molina as -"Satipo"- to "The Bastard" 🤣
After seeing your reaction to the snake in the plane, was it bad of me to be looking forward to the multitude of snakes later on immensely? Priceless!🤗
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. You ladies are always so lovely, and are always so authentic, and are absolutely so funny! It’s a pleasure to be here and watch these movies with you and see your reactions. Raiders of the Lost Ark, a classic and another great choice ❤️❤️
Little fun fact, at 16:30 they had a whole choreographied fight but Harrison was sick that day and didnt felt like it so he improvised just shooting the bad guy wich they kept after all 🙃 also if i can help with this scare of snakes wich seems pretty intense haha, most snakes are harmless, snakes know they cant eat something bigger then the largest part of their body so unless you are attacking or threatening them, theyre pretty gentle, especially non venomous one wich only 10-15% out of every species actually are 😉 this was so fun, hope yall do the other ones, its such a good franchise 😁
The Ahnenerbe was the German group that researched occult things. They were influenced by certain occult groups that had been influencing some of the German elite at least since the interwar period and likely before. They sent agents around Europe and Asian looking for mythic artifacts and locations hoping to find powers that would help them take over the world. They did often disguise their activities as archeology or anthropology expeditions or combined them. The ship captain wasn't really a traitor. Faced with uboat he didn't have a choice but to surrender and try some ploy to keep his crew alive, and Indie as well. While a surface vessel would have made more sense, the Germans didn't have surface ships in the Mediterranean Sea, only uboats. The Italians had surface ships, but so did the British, and they had planes that could sink Italian ships. So, since the Germans did have some Uboats there, it made sense to have one do this in the movie.
This is my favorite video from your channel! I was laughing so hard from your reactions, so funny!!! Love the finger donuts over the eyes to protect you from scary scenes LOLL!!
I almost felt bad for laughing at the way you were screaming so much about the snakes. Almost. You reacted EXACTLY as they wanted you to, this movie did its job. You also got all the jokes ("you go first", the coat hanger). Great, fun time!
The lost Ark like the holy grail is legend no one knows if the items exist or not there is just enough proof that they could have existed but the extant of their power and or look is up for debate along with their locations.
And the Oscar for greatest reaction 2024 goes to….Movie Munchies! You girls are priceless 😂 love your reactions. Pure, funny, genuine and cute. Keep them coming!
Most of those snakes were non-venomous, the cobra was defanged, and the spiders were basically harmless new world tarantulas... but most people don't know that and it makes for good drama, especially playing on many people's fear of snakes and spiders. I used to have a pet boa constrictor myself (and a pet tarantula as well). My snake was a sweetheart, and the only thing she ever hurt was the rats she fed on. Even venomous snakes aren't out to get us and would much rather avoid us. They are just noodles with heads and the world is a scary place for a noodle with a head. If we just take proper precautions when in snake areas, respect them and leave them alone, we'll be fine.
You're telling two Vietnamese girls to not be scared of snakes? Do you know how many venomous snakes there are there? I'd say a healthy fear of them is a sensible thing.
When my parents, my brother and I saw Raiders at the theater in 1981. My mother during the Well of the Souls scene put her up or the chair in front of her. The did delete the reflection on the plate of glass between Indy and the cobra.
This one was fantastic watching with you women, it looks like you had so much fun, I loved when you were looking through your hand glasses because you didn’t want to look at the snakes, but you had to ha ha. and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I love Steven Spielberg and I love Harrison Ford. You can’t go wrong with Raiders of the lost ark!
The dumbest thing about the rolling round boulder is that it started out 10-12 feet above his head. All he had to do was stand still (or duck if he got scared.)
The medallion said "make the staff so many centimeters long", then on the back, "but take away some centimeters to honor God". The German guy only had one side of the medallion burned into his hand. So they were missing the part about take away some centimeters. That's why they were digging in the wrong place. Their staff was too long.
Another fun reaction! I’ve enjoyed seeing their confidence continue to grow the more reactions they all do. Watch out ladies! There’s something behind you! 🐍 🐍 🐍
🌏 Yeah, southeast Asia used to be called Indochina. On old maps, the regions that are now *Canton and Yunnan were actually parts of Vietnam* but China kept expanding south. That's why Cantonese sounds more like Vietnamese than Mandarin and Yunnan cuisine use rice noodle with fresh herbs like Vietnam's than wheat noodles in other parts of China.
And had America known geography they wouldn't have sent troops into Vietnam I'm the first place. They thought Vietnam would becone a vassal of China. Imstead of being fiercely independent of China.
@@TimL-nr4hr : 😂 Wait, what, "fiercely independent"? After 1975, Vietnam became a Communist country in the mirror image of Big Brother China to even now, parroting all the same methods, ideas, and propaganda. But, ok, the US did make a mistake in Vietnam thinking that it could help it become another Democratic country like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan.

A lot of these 80s movies that you watch, I was a small boy in the 80s. It's my childhood, so it's fun seeing them with people who haven't seen them before. Your reactions are very innocent, like a child like spirit. Maybe your Asian upbringing exposes you to less than what America's see. But it's refreshing to see. You've seen a lot of Steven Spielberg films! Maybe someday his popular film E.T. (original theatrical release, no cgi!). Many children of the 80's have very fond memories and a special place in our heart for E.T.🤗

Just a bit of background on the Ark of the Covenant: This is part of the Christian and Hebrew (And I think Moslems as well) religion and dates back to around roughly 3000-1000 BC (Sorry I'm not a Historian, so not sure about the exact dates). The Ark was built by instruction from God to the Hebrews (Jews) while they were on their way to Israel from Egypt. That was when God gave the 10 commandments on 2 rock/clay tablets to Moses the leader of the Hebrews at the time. They were then supposed to put the tablets inside the Ark. There was a believe by some that while carrying the Ark into battle that they would not lose.
There is actually an animated movie "The prince of Egypt" about this exact set of events.
What happened about to the actual Ark is of course pure speculation and what this movie is about. Some of the other Indiana Jones movies are also about mythical Christian artifacts (The holy grail, that supposedly was used to capture Jesus's blood or some such).

The Holy Grail became a big part of Arthurian legend, King Arthur of England, the one with Merlin and Lancelot, who sent his knights on a quest to find the grail. Like the real life crusaders who went on a 'quest' to secure the holy lands and became obsessed of artifacts they believed to be associated with Jesus and saints. Hence the 'Crusade' title of the 3rd movie. The mythical artifacts (reliquaries) fill up thousands of churches in Europe (mostly Germany, France and Spain). Like the Golden Shrine in the Cologne cathedral that supposedly houses the bones of the three Magi that visited Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem at Jesus' birth. The cathedral in Aachen houses the diapers of Jesus, a dress of Mary, a loincloth of Jesus, and a blanket that was used to carry the head of John the baptist after his decapitation. And so forth. (In Aachen is also a sarcophagus containing the bones of Charlemagne. As opposed to all the other artifacts, these are very probably the real deal.)
Probably 1000 BC since the movie mentions it being 3000 years old.
@@MartinBeerbom Very true, the Medieval folks were a superstitious bunch. I read quite a few historical fiction books, and they are rife with these religious trinkets (Also if you play King Crusaders, they are major aspect of the game). Unlike the ark though, that is explicitly mentioned in the religious text like the Bible, and probably did exist at the time (1000 BC), these trinkets were mostly wishful thinking.
A religious sect in Ethiopia say they have the Ark , some Monastery in the hills with 2 guys watching the door, but no one,s allowed to see it.Yeah right.
@@MartinBeerbom Well explained, but amazingly you left out Italy. I saw the crypts of St. Andrew and Matthew the Apostle in two duomo churches--and Rome? Everywhere you look.
"Game on, Baby!" I loved that! I am amazed at how fluent in English you each are. This was very funny to watch.
The huge German guy fighting Indy by the plane was played by Pat Roach, a British actor and pro wrestler. Roach also played a big Sherpa who fights Indy in Marion's bar in Nepal. Roach is also in Temple of Doom and very briefly in The Last Crusade.
The amount of screaming in this reaction is so hilarious. I love watching it. Such a fun reaction.
I saw this in the theatre when I was 7 years old. Your reactions to the scary parts brought back some memories. 😆
I'm sure a dozen people have already said this, but at 16:40 there's allegedly a story about that. Ford was sick on the day of filming, so he suggested Indy just shoot his opponent.
John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) has confirmed this. Most of the crew was sick too from eating some tainted local food. Spielberg himself wasn't sick. He had brought a trunk full of canned food and wouldn't eat anything local!
Not only Ford, almost the whole crew was affected. The only one not sick was Spielberg, who only ate canned food from Harrod's.
Yeah the poor guy practiced for months for his scene with the sword.
@@johnwest5837 There are some clips of the fight floating around so some of it was filmed, but I understand why they didn't include them. That scene got the biggest cheer of the whole movie when I saw it in the first release.
Davies talks about the poor sanitation on the set in the Inside of You podcast. He claims to have almost died losing 20 lbs. in a few days.
Such a classic movie saga you have started on your channel
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. I grew up wanting to be just like Indiana Jones, and I've always thought that Karen Allen (who played Marion) is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
GREAT reaction. You both so much energy into your reactions, they're as good as the movies themselves. Awesome job!
I never laughed so hard, love you, Chi and Hella!
Part of what made Spielberg a great director is that he knew how to take a fact, in this case a historical fact and even series of facts, and build a story around it. In this case it was the Ark of the Covenant which really is lost to history, there is debate as to whether or not it existed and depending on which scholar you ask there are different theories as to what happened to it. There is also the fact that Hitler really did have an obsession with ancient relics. Alot of this had to do with the occult which puts heavy emphasis on ancient relics such as the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail. He believed that by finding these relics he was ensuring the Third Reichs continuation and success. Another fact which I thought was really cool, mainly because I find spy history really cool to read about, was that the Allies were in fact recruiting anyone with skills and knowledge, like Archeologists, into the different intelligence agencies for a variety of purposes which was the precursor to modern spy craft.
"You have a snake on the plane"
There's a movie called "Snakes on a Plane" :)
OMG OMG.... im happy, thanks ladies
It's such fun to see your reactions to this old classic film, glad you found it exciting. When I was 8 years old, my favorite possessions were my .22 rifle and my 10 foot bullwhip. I never used the whip for a rope like Indiana Jones, but I did get really accurate with it. It was a time before video games, so I had plenty of time on my hands. The '70s was a much different time and we '70s kids were a lot different, too. We'd break a leg and walk it off, if you know what I mean. ;)
2:39 "I like his whip..." That's what she said :)
5:54 I'm surprised that they don't like big snakes. :)
16:34 'Never bring a sword to a gun fight.' ;)
17:40 Lol "I believe so."
22:08 Haha!
Haven’t seen this movie so all I’ve got is: CHI, your hair looks amazing.😱
The joke at the end is that once the “Lost Arc of the Covenant” is put into a government warehouse, it really is lost forever.
Snakes are actually beautiful animals. I have held them. They are cold to the touch and very smooth and dry. They only attack in self defence if you bother them, so don't bother them and they won't bother you. The snake is more scared of you. You are like a T-Rex to them. A giant. Fearing snakes is like an elephant fearing a mouse.
Mice can't kill elephants.
@@j.knight9335 _"They only attack in self defence if you bother them, so don't bother them and they won't bother you."_ said a wise man once. 😉
@aaronmicalowe There is no reason for an elephant to fear a mouse. A man can accidentally stumble across one and receive a deadly bite. It's entirely logical to fear snakes. If you like them, cool, but it's not analogous.
@@j.knight9335 Why do some people take everything so literally. I'm sure you've heard of the saying. A bit like ostriches and lemmings. You don't need to take them literally to understand the point being made. As for standing on snakes, perhaps be afraid of not looking where you're walking? That's far more dangerous than any snake.
@@j.knight9335 but Cat and Mouse...
Biggest reactions yet! Gotta watch the rest!
22:41 Yeah, but I don't think she cares. :)
24:25 Why snakes... :D
25:54 Ok, they don't like big snakes :D
28:00 That is one of the funniest things ever.
😊you made me smile. Everything in this movie are still happening today. There are many documentary on that 1 artifact and people are still hunting for it right now. There are actually 2 of them and 1 of them is supposed to be in Ethiopia the other is missing. They say Vietnam has its own mysteries. With lost treasures and forgotten kingdoms.
Poor ladies. There are so many snakes 🐍 in this classic film. Great reaction! 👍🏿
It begins!
4:05 "Such a bastard!!" Hella says it so cute and funny, I would almost take it as a compliment if she said it to me 🤣
4:23 "Come for the Bastard" I think they need to revise the movie credits: Alfred Molina as -"Satipo"- to "The Bastard" 🤣
After seeing your reaction to the snake in the plane, was it bad of me to be looking forward to the multitude of snakes later on immensely? Priceless!🤗
I love watching you all react to movies Very fun to be here with you two !
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. You ladies are always so lovely, and are always so authentic, and are absolutely so funny! It’s a pleasure to be here and watch these movies with you and see your reactions. Raiders of the Lost Ark, a classic and another great choice ❤️❤️
Little fun fact, at 16:30 they had a whole choreographied fight but Harrison was sick that day and didnt felt like it so he improvised just shooting the bad guy wich they kept after all 🙃 also if i can help with this scare of snakes wich seems pretty intense haha, most snakes are harmless, snakes know they cant eat something bigger then the largest part of their body so unless you are attacking or threatening them, theyre pretty gentle, especially non venomous one wich only 10-15% out of every species actually are 😉 this was so fun, hope yall do the other ones, its such a good franchise 😁
Chi and Hella im so glad you enjoyed the movie i adore your reactions and they always have me in stiches every time you are both so funny and amazing,
The Ahnenerbe was the German group that researched occult things. They were influenced by certain occult groups that had been influencing some of the German elite at least since the interwar period and likely before. They sent agents around Europe and Asian looking for mythic artifacts and locations hoping to find powers that would help them take over the world. They did often disguise their activities as archeology or anthropology expeditions or combined them.
The ship captain wasn't really a traitor. Faced with uboat he didn't have a choice but to surrender and try some ploy to keep his crew alive, and Indie as well. While a surface vessel would have made more sense, the Germans didn't have surface ships in the Mediterranean Sea, only uboats. The Italians had surface ships, but so did the British, and they had planes that could sink Italian ships. So, since the Germans did have some Uboats there, it made sense to have one do this in the movie.
This is my favorite video from your channel! I was laughing so hard from your reactions, so funny!!! Love the finger donuts over the eyes to protect you from scary scenes LOLL!!
Before you watch the second movie, Temple of Doom. It's actually a prequel to this movie. I didn't know that until pretty recently.
It is VERY real that the government of he i will not name was absolutely obsessed with stuff like this.
Mustache man
I almost felt bad for laughing at the way you were screaming so much about the snakes. Almost. You reacted EXACTLY as they wanted you to, this movie did its job. You also got all the jokes ("you go first", the coat hanger). Great, fun time!
3:16 "Don't make a mess!"
Oh boy, was that prophetic. 🤣
The lost Ark like the holy grail is legend no one knows if the items exist or not there is just enough proof that they could have existed but the extant of their power and or look is up for debate along with their locations.
And the Oscar for greatest reaction 2024 goes to….Movie Munchies!
You girls are priceless 😂 love your reactions. Pure, funny, genuine and cute. Keep them coming!
5:56 "ahhh! fuk. it." -Chi
The place at the end of the film is a location in the USA called AREA 51 in Nevada
Nope. It's Warehouse 13 😆
Most of those snakes were non-venomous, the cobra was defanged, and the spiders were basically harmless new world tarantulas... but most people don't know that and it makes for good drama, especially playing on many people's fear of snakes and spiders.
I used to have a pet boa constrictor myself (and a pet tarantula as well). My snake was a sweetheart, and the only thing she ever hurt was the rats she fed on.
Even venomous snakes aren't out to get us and would much rather avoid us. They are just noodles with heads and the world is a scary place for a noodle with a head. If we just take proper precautions when in snake areas, respect them and leave them alone, we'll be fine.
You're telling two Vietnamese girls to not be scared of snakes? Do you know how many venomous snakes there are there? I'd say a healthy fear of them is a sensible thing.
Thousands of people in Southeast Asia die from snakebites every year.
Wow! This is one of my favorite series!!💙 I'm so happy to your reaction of this amazing movie!!🩵
When my parents, my brother and I saw Raiders at the theater in 1981. My mother during the Well of the Souls scene put her up or the chair in front of her.
The did delete the reflection on the plate of glass between Indy and the cobra.
Perfect timing with the snake scare cam. I knew this movie would be a problem for both of the Munchies.
Great choice of movie girl’s and amazing reaction every time thank you 💕✨
Temple of Doom has only one snake scene but watch how fast Indy moves.
This one was fantastic watching with you women, it looks like you had so much fun, I loved when you were looking through your hand glasses because you didn’t want to look at the snakes, but you had to ha ha. and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I love Steven Spielberg and I love Harrison Ford. You can’t go wrong with Raiders of the lost ark!
The dumbest thing about the rolling round boulder is that it started out 10-12 feet above his head. All he had to do was stand still (or duck if he got scared.)
But then it would have blocked the exit critical thinking people.
You girls have to go all the way to complete the Indiana Jones Trilogy. They are the best Indy movies.
Forget the Crystal Skulls and Dial of Destiny.
This person is correct
Glad you’re back Chi..:)
Super fun thanks!
3:04 "Ah! Is that shit?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL, "He's good at, no he's not good at that."
The medallion said "make the staff so many centimeters long", then on the back, "but take away some centimeters to honor God". The German guy only had one side of the medallion burned into his hand. So they were missing the part about take away some centimeters. That's why they were digging in the wrong place. Their staff was too long.
Hela really loved that whip!!! awesome!!
I'm not entirely sure... but I think maybe Chi doesn't love snakes... 🤣
Another fun reaction! I’ve enjoyed seeing their confidence continue to grow the more reactions they all do. Watch out ladies! There’s something behind you! 🐍 🐍 🐍
I think Chi has a new favorite movie 👍😆
🌏 Yeah, southeast Asia used to be called Indochina. On old maps, the regions that are now *Canton and Yunnan were actually parts of Vietnam* but China kept expanding south. That's why Cantonese sounds more like Vietnamese than Mandarin and Yunnan cuisine use rice noodle with fresh herbs like Vietnam's than wheat noodles in other parts of China.
French Indochina was also Laos and Cambodia.
And had America known geography they wouldn't have sent troops into Vietnam I'm the first place. They thought Vietnam would becone a vassal of China. Imstead of being fiercely independent of China.
@@TimL-nr4hr : 😂 Wait, what, "fiercely independent"? After 1975, Vietnam became a Communist country in the mirror image of Big Brother China to even now, parroting all the same methods, ideas, and propaganda. But, ok, the US did make a mistake in Vietnam thinking that it could help it become another Democratic country like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan.
@@TimL-nr4hr : 😂 Wait, what? "Fiercely independent"? Vietnam is a Communist country in the mirror image of Big Brother China along with all propaganda.
@@TimL-nr4hr : This channel doesn't let me reply to you. Sorry.
Looking forward to you continuing this series, as well as your upcoming Harry Potter reactions. You're picking some great franchises here. Hope we see you react to the Back to the Future sequels.
I heard Harry Potter is an allegory for Donald Trump. No, thank YOU!
@@trhansen3244 😒
A lot of these 80s movies that you watch, I was a small boy in the 80s. It's my childhood, so it's fun seeing them with people who haven't seen them before. Your reactions are very innocent, like a child like spirit. Maybe your Asian upbringing exposes you to less than what America's see. But it's refreshing to see. You've seen a lot of Steven Spielberg films! Maybe someday his popular film E.T. (original theatrical release, no cgi!). Many children of the 80's have very fond memories and a special place in our heart for E.T.🤗

Perfection MM. so much fun-II warned/recommended Indiana Jones when I learned of your love of Snakes. 31:08 is just the best. Snakes are bad. Mummies are worst. Mummies with snakes coming out of their mouths. The worst!!! Raiders of the Lost Ark was Heaven for teenage boys, we had never seen anything like it before. Iconic film and indiana Jones is considered one of the best movies characters ever created. Love me some MM.
And, you know, Karen Allen is real eye candy as well as being a fine actress. Marion is the absolute best of the Indiana Jones partners.
Hahaha! Let me make another movie suggestion... I think you two will enjoy the 2006 film, "Snakes on a Plane".
Hi Ladies, I watched many movies over my 66 years, well 55 years of movie watching 😁, but this was the first in the Raiders of the Lost Arc movies, also 1984 Temple of Doom 1989 Last Crusade 2008 Kingdom of the Crystal Skull & Dial of Destiny
Adorable. Absolutely adorable reaction.
Hello Chi & Hella, nice to see you lovely ladies!😊 Congratulations on hitting 50K subscribers anytime now!!!!🎉🎉🎈🎈🎊🎊🥳🥳The lesson here ladies, is NEVER trust a Nazi monkey!😆 John Williams was the music composer for the film. He was the music composer in many Spielberg films, all the way back to "Jaws" (1975). He was the conductor of the Boston Pops here in Boston for many years, too. WOW! You ladies are REALLY afraid of snakes!🐍🐍😱😱 I'm glad you ladies really enjoyed this classic adventure film!😊 SUPER reactions to this action adventure thriller, Chi & Hella!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
You girls are growing up so fast. Never change your good hearts.
