- Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
We thought it would be fun for Coby to watch Indiana Jones in chronological order, which is basically just reversing Temple of Doom with Raiders of the Lost Ark but ultimately the films were made so close together it's hard to tell the difference in Harrison Ford's age. We can imagine Short Round is in boarding school getting an education so he can show up later in the Short Round Disney+ series.

The drinking game scene showed that Marion can hold her liquor, so she was never drunk when she was with Belloq in the tent
I think 💭 it was water 💧
@@nathancruz9172 No... She asks him what the drink was, because it was causing more of an effect on her than she thought it would. And he said it was his Family Lable, which means he's been drinking it his whole life. They were simply trying to out drink each other; Marion because she wanted to escape and Rene for more than likely unwholesome reasons.
@@brit8851 "more than likely unwholesome reasons."
Such as?
I know you're doing these in 'timeline order', but one of the reasons that its worth seeing this one first is that buildup to Indy's introduction. It assumes off the bat you've never seen or heard of Indiana Jones before (his name wasnt even in the original title).. that's why it keeps him shrouded in mystery til he whips the gun out of that guys hand. Then theres that reveal. Then it perfectly establishes all the tropes that would be seen in the other films, and introduces the school setting, which isnt even in Doom...and it shows you that hes a professor who moonlights as a treasure hunter.
Yeah, it makes no sense to do what she’s doing.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192to say it makes no sense makes no sense because it does make some sense if not complete sense but from a character standpoint it is at least interesting to watch how his story unfolds chronologically because not everyone has to have the same experience as those who watched in release order 🤠
@@jdolan74 It's the equivalent of watching or reading any series of books or movies in reverse order. So no it doesn't make sense. I also I'm trying to say this in the nicest way but it is frustrating watching reactors who don't even know basic history. In this case biblical history. Who doesn't know the 10 commandments written by God on two stone tablets and housed in the Ark of the Covenant?
@@deepermind4884 "doesn't" that's what I meant. I watching a reaction to the movie Troy and they're saying the most ignorant things. I'm not scholar or deeply religions is it too much to ask to know basic ancient history? If you're Christian what excuse do you have not knowing what the ark of the covenant is?
@@petercofrancesco9812 Most typical Christians (at least in the U.S.) will know about the 10 Commandments and about _Noah's_ Ark, but not about _this_ Ark -- unless they learned of it through this very movie..
The Ark is not evil power (look up the Old Testament stories). The Ark was the dwelling place of God among the Hebrews. What was contained inside were the Ten Commandments, among other things, as explained by Indy at the beginning of the film.
* They think they may have found the historical Moses. He was a man by the name of *Senenmut.* He was the High Steward for Thutmosis II and for Hatshepsut(daughter of Thutmosis I, and the princess who drew Moses out of the ark basket made of papyrus reeds. Which is interesting because reeds, and another ark came into play later). It is possible that "Moses" was Senenmut's throne name, and Senenmut was his personal name. His throne name would've been "Thutmosis", but he did not worship "Thoth".
* So he would've dropped the "Thut" part of the name, leaving only "Mosis". He instead worshipped the same god as "Yuya"(the powerful Courtier and King's Lieutenant of Amenhotep III), which was the god known as "Yahweh", "El", "Elohim", "El Shaddai" or "Adonai". This is why the last 2 letters of Yu's name is "Ya"(as in "Yahweh"). Senenmut would've only ruled when Hatshepsut was pharaoh, and only during times when she was feeling to ill to carry out her responsibilities. It is believed that Thutmosis III was the pharaoh of the Exodus.
* The volcano of the island of Santorini is believed to have violently erupted between 1458 BC - 1425 BC, causing the 10 biblical plagues(which can all be explained now with the volcano theory, but how did Moses know precisely when the effects of the volcano would take place, where, and precisley what they would be, in what order? He was told.....by someone. God, presumably). They have also found archaeological evidence for the "real" Mt. Sinai, actually being located in Saudi Arabia. A mountain called "Jabal al-Lawz".
* They discovered that there were 2 crossings of the Red Sea(so to speak). There was the first crossing at "The Sea of Reeds"(Yam Suph), better know as "Lake El Balah" north of the Gulf of Suez. They found the actual route Moses took across the Sinai Peninsula to the "Wadi Watir" and the "Nuweibaa Beach" where the 2nd crossing of the Red Sea took place across the Gulf of Aqaba to Saudi Arabia. Back in those day they were not called the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. They were simply considered to be a part of the Red Sea.
* They also found the oasis with the 70 palm trees and the 12 wells. They also found the split rock, the cave of Elijah(on the side of Jabal al-Lawz), the altars, the pillars, the stables, a dried up river, the mass grave and more. It has been said that the Ark of the Covenant's basic design vaguely resembles an electric capacitor, and that its dimensions would allow it to fit very nicely into the king's sarcophagus in the king's chamber of the great pyramid. They may have known that the great pyramid was a power plant of some kind, and placing the ark in the sarcophagus of the king's chamber might have assisted in some way in helping them to get the pyramid to function once again, but may have been abandoned the attempt when they realized how much effort, and how many things they would need to accomplish this, not even knowing whether it would work after all of that effort.
* It is believed that pharaoh "Khufu" attempted to renovate the great pyramid(from 2566 BC - 2589 BC) in an effort to get it to function once again, strongly implying that he did not build it. It is now believed that it was probably built around 10500 BC(if not earlier). It is believed that for all these long millennia, the original Ark of the Covenant is most likely located behind a wall, in an ancient cistern beneath the Temple Mount adjacent to the Western Wall(Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem, but no one dare excavate that wall, or it would literally start a religious war that would explode into mass killings, shootings, bombings, and in the end, the ark would probably be destroyed anyways in all of that violence and mayhem. All in the name of religion. How nice.
@@AlexKnight009 You need to stop watching The History Channel.
@@monsterlair * I just think that these discoveries, theories and hypotheses should be investigated further. I think they should look into the possibility that Senenmut was the historical Moses. I think they should also investigate whether Thutmosis III was, in fact, the pharaoh of the Exodus. One of the reasons why there's so much debate over where the Red Sea crossing was, is because there was 2 crossings. At the Sea of Reeds where they crossed from Egypt onto the Sinai Peninsula(north of the Gulf of Suez), and again when they crossed from the Sinai Peninsula to Saudi Arabia.
* As it turns out, the worship of the golden calf, was the worshipping of a god called "Ba'al"(as in "Ba'al Zebub" The Lord of Flies). He was one of "El's" children. Just like Yahweh was one of "El's" children. Don't worry, Yahweh is not the name of God. Christians and Jews both agree that God's name is "Jehovah". Don't believe me? Ask 'em. It's possible that Jehovah and El are one and the same. I think the ark would've been found, and presented to the world if it wasn't such a sensitive subject.
* If archaeologists would be permitted to excavate where they *should* be excavating for the ark, it would be found, but if they excavate in the correct location, it will most likely trigger a religious war, where countless people would be killed in the name of religion by the time everything is said and done. I think that's why the ark hasn't been found or presented to the world yet. There's still too many ignorant people running around who are willing to *kill* for their religion.
@@AlexKnight009 The modern scholarly consensus is that the biblical person of Moses is largely mythical and that archaeology can do nothing to prove or confirm either way.
The bible is not a history book. It's fairy tales.
@@AlexKnight009Yeah we’re investigating. There’s this whole scientific discipline called Archaeology and that’s what we friggin do, man.
But this is a movie.
Love the scene where the guy pulls out the coat hanger. Everyone’s expecting some type of torture device and it ends up just being a collapsible coat hanger. It’s hilarious and genius.
Actually, that joke was something that Spielberg had attempted to include in his films since 1941 (1979). It didn’t work in that film and it got cut for that reason. So, Spielberg decided to put the joke in every film he did after 1941, until it stayed.
It shows that even Toht has a sense of humor. A dark one but it's there. 😂
The ending is actually not about the future of Indiana Jones. The Government claims they are researching the Ark, but instead they box it up for storage. I always took the final scene, showing all the other boxes the Government has in that warehouse and others like it means that the Ark ends up as it started. Lost to time and forgotten in the massive paperwork and bureaucracy that is the US Government, especially in the middle of a war.
You are right, most people don't get the significance of that huge warehouse scene at all.
@@phila3884 Most people? That can't be true, can it?
@@monsterlair Ok, perhaps a little too subtle in meaning.. It depends on what you think happens to the ark after the final scene.
@@phila3884 What? What i meant was: most people can't be stupid enough to not understand the ending, can they? We're not living in Idiocracy yet. I hope.
My head canon is that this crosses universes with "Warehouse 13" the SciFi show of the same name.
Regarding her being drunk vs faking, the scene when we were first introduced to her, she was shown to have a super high tolerance for alcohol, being a bar owner and remaining fairly functional after her opponent in the drinking contest was completely passed out drunk. So yeah, she was faking being drunk with Belloq in order to get him to lower his guard and drink more. Her tolerance for alcohol was way higher than his.
If you look closely at Belloq's reaction it seems he was faking being drunk too 🤔
René was faking too.
He said that he grew up on it, that it was his family label.
"On his way to rid the world of toons." That's really funny.
The gold case IS the Ark of the covenant. Inside it is the original stone tablets of the Ten Commandments…which have turned to dust.
The real reason Harrison Ford was so sweaty was that they were filming in Tunesia, and him and the whole cast had dysentery/food poisoning. Another good movie you'd enjoy with Karen Allen is "Starman" with Jeff Bridges. Another Spielberg movie with that Kwan kid that is great is "The Goonies." It's a kid's movie, but it's fantastic, and you'll love it!
Don't forget Karen Allen was also in "Animal House". 😉
Another very sweaty film (for the actors) set (and shot) in Africa is the Bogart-Hepburn vehicle and Hollywood classic, The African Queen.
I thought Richard Donner directed "Goonies"
Most fans love this movie and the third. Both are considered the best of Indiana Jones.
The third movie is a carbon copy of this movie. I don’t think anyone even wrote a script for last crusade. I think they took the raiders script and just changed a few words.
@@josephsarto689 I haven't seen Dial of Destiny yet, but i find it hard to believe that it's worse than Crusade.
23:37
Don't be sad for the bad Nazi monkey.
It was not a good monkey.
Out of all Indy's love interests Marion is the one true love and perfect match for Indy.
Glad you are enjoying these classics! So many films were inspired by THIS film.
I wish every reactor watched the films in the order the filmmakers made them. They were meant to be watched that way for a reason.
This film was a throw back to serial thrillers in 50's cinema.
The gold box with the winged thingies IS the ark. The dust inside was the remains of the stone tablets on which the 10 commandments were inscribed.
My favorite Indiana Jones film ever made!
Thank you, Lucasfilm for creating this and Star Wars!
This movie was the kickoff to one of the most Iconic movie franchise of all time !!! This introduced a whole new generation to a film of never ending pitfalls, white knuckle escapes, bringing a sword to a gunfight, the supernatural & FIGHTING NAZIS (including nazi monkeys) !!! Loved your reactions to the pinnacle movie of the franchise. Keep it going !!!
Skeleton in the trap at the beginning had an eyeball left because they were recently deceased. That was Forrestal, the competitor Indy briefly refers to.
Fun fact: The truck that is in front of the Temple of Forbidden Eye ride at Disneyland is the same truck that was used in Raiders during the truck chase ;)
What a wonderful reaction. I’ve never seen a reactor watch the movies in the order you did. I saw them in the theaters when they were first released. To me, this movie will always be called just Raiders of the Lost Ark. The “Indiana Jones and the” was added after the sequels came out. This movie was an homage to the early serial cliffhangers of the 1920s and 30s. Episodes were released in the theaters weekly and each episode had the hero facing certain death, and you’d have to go back to the theater the following week to see how he got out of it.
A little trivia: the call letters on the seaplane at the beginning were OB-CPO.
Images of C-3PO and R2-D2 appear in the hieroglyphs on a wall in the Well of Souls.
The scene where Indy shoots the swordsman was originally supposed to have a big fight but Indy, along with most of the rest of the cast and crew had contracted dysentery and Harrison Ford couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes at a time. They tried shooting the fight but couldn’t make it work, so they changed it, and an iconic scene was born.
Being a huge Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford fan, this is one of my favorite movies. Just my opinion, but I think Temple of Doom was the worst of the series so far. I didn’t think the plot or the writing were very good. The Last Crusade is just as good as this one, plus it costars Sean Connery. A lot of fans hate the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but I didn’t think it was that bad, even though it costars Shia LaBeouf.
Where the government put the Ark is pretty much the basis of a series Warehouse 13, comedy, sci-fy.
I liked how excited she was to see Indiana Jones's house.
You know the monkey was a Nazi Right.. lol
I can't wait to see your reaction to Last Crusade Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.. Magical
I know this was a while ago and you might not look back at these older comments, but I wanted to tell you about Indy shooting the swordman. He was really sick when they filmed that and was supposed to have a long drawn out fight where I believe he used the whip against the sword man. Because he was so sick (I think he had a fever of like 104 or something) he asked if he could just shoot him. It's such an iconic scene. But it gets better:
In Temple of Doom there was a callback to this. Near the end before getting on the bridge (or maybe when he was on it) there is another great sword scene and the music from Raiders plays in the background. Indy reached for his gun but he had lost it earlier so it didn't work out that time. You probably saw the scene but didn't realize the significance or why there was suddenly a new theme briefly playing in the background.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark": An homage to cliffhanger movies of the 1930's, it had enough stunts for THREE Action movies of the era, second choice Harrison Ford got to create another movie icon, "two-fisted Marion Ravenwood stood tall as Indy's equal, a generation of college students were persuaded to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists. "Watch Indy in Chronological order!?" Did you do that with "Star Wars"? RELEASE order is the way to go, since Ridley Scott has proven that he's lost his marbles with the "prequel 'Alien" series.
Always remember, there are only 3 Indiana Jones films. Last Crusade is the perfect ending.
Glad you enjoyed something from my childhood. As an older person, a little tip to all People who enjoy stories, regardless, if it comes in the format of television, matinee, movies, books, graphic novels, or comic books. Should be consumed in release order. It is the intended way to creator of the content Wanted you to receive it. Now after you’ve seen it and you think it’s fun to watch it in chronological order go right ahead however, if you don’t watch it in the way, the creator intended you may become privy to spoilers and surprises. Makes no sense. The surprises, and the misdirection are some of the greatest parts of the story. As an older wiser person who has introduced younger generations to some of my childhood heroes, this is the way I think it should be watched.
The guy skewered on the spikes at the beginning was a rival treasure hunter that Indy mentioned before. He hasnt been dead that long so thats why hes not totally decayed.
I liked your reaction but remember by talking often you might miss things, so dont just assume the writers screwed up just cause you dont get something right away. Give them a bit more credit than that.
Yeah and this is common of all reactions - sometimes you misread something! But overall her reactions to these first two Indiana Jones films are fantastic and wait until you see her reactions to the next two!
Spielberg loves playing with shadows. From Harrison Ford's reveal at the beginning where he steps into a closeup from shadow to his reunion with Marion where he's entirely a shadow to the scene where you just get Ford's eye in the light through a partition, it's one of his favorite techniques.
Spielberg and Lucas were aiming to pay homage to the serials of their childhoods; they paid homage to numerous aspects of those movies, everything from the 'bad guy' looking over his magazine as Indy boarded the plane to the use of maps to portray the movement of the characters to, yes, shadow play.
The film looks so good because Spielberg went after a classical Hollywood look and hired a very experienced cinematographer, Douglas Slocombe. Together they filmed the first three Indiana Jones movies and Slocombe only retired because his eyesight started to fail.
Raiders is one of my top 10 movies of all time. Love your reaction. 👏🥰
Regarding her not being drunk with Bellach: Remember they showed her in an actual drinking contest earlier and she just can really hold her liquor, and whatever they are drinking in the tent isn't likely even remotely alcoholic as what she was putting back in the bar.
18:18 Fun Fact: This single gunshot to the swordsman was originally supposed to be a bigger battle, but Harrison was suffering from food poisoning and asked if he could just shoot the guy.
43:39...No the gold thing is the Ark. The sand inside is all that remains of the stone tablets that listed the 10 Commandments.
True.
The stone tablets, Aarons rod and a jar of manna.
The relics burned on the ship to keep them away.
Willie is a big reason why Temple of Doom is seen by most as the lesser of the trilogy, despite its other strong points. Now that you've been introduced to Marion, you can probably see why. She's a fan favorite for good reason.
There's a callback to the gun vs. scimitar scene in Temple, when Indy is confronted by two swordsmen and reaches fir his gun, which is no longer there and he chuckles nervously.
The Ark was the ornate chest with the cherubim on it. In biblical terms, it really was a method of speaking directly to God (God was said to have physically manifested between the cherubims' wings) and was responsible for the destruction of the Hebrews' enemies, including leveling the city of Jericho.
That dig site was the entire city of Tanis. The excavation was enormous, with hundreds of hired hands digging up every structure of the ancient city. A dozen guys or so digging off to the side would not attract anyone's attention.... except Belloq's who was very detail-oriented
The ark of the covenant held the 10 commandments and for a while a jar of manna and Aarons staff that budded to show that Jehovah had picked Aaron to act as high priest when others challenged Aaron's place. The high priest was the only one that was allowed to see the ark uncovered and that was only once a year, Atonement Day.
The lighting and use of shadows hearkens back to 40's cinema and the birth of the film noir style of cinematography.
It wasn't actually the first time we were seeing Harrison Ford. He was also in this little movie called Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. Also in American Graffiti 8 years earlier. For me, Raiders was the first movie that really blew my mind as an epic blockbuster. I think I saw it about four times in the theater.
That's on the writers who missed that line that Indy doesn't believe in hocus pocus boogeymen stuff. They messed up when creating Temple of Doom since the first time he actually experiences the supernatural IS in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
You probably didn't recognize many of the older actors because this was filmed in Elstree Studios, England and on location. Many of the extras and cast are from the UK.
John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) and Denholm Elliott (Brody) both were very established UK character actors in movies when Raiders was released. Elliott was seen by more movie-goers in the 3rd Indy movie, and especially with supporting roles in two very different 1980s films, Trading Places (Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, etc), and A Room With A View (a Merchant-Ivory production, also starring Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter, etc). He had a strong background on the British stage, too. As for Rhys-Davies, aside from 2 Indy movies, and several James Bond films, he may be best known for The Lord of the Rings franchise (Gimli), and he has been in a huge number of movies and TV shows.
@@parissimons6385 You're spot on. You missed out Paul Freeman who played Belloq, he played a character called Colin who died very early on in The Long Good Friday in 1980 just before he appeared in this.
We saw Marion in Tibet doing the shots challenge against a larger opponent and she more than held her own, so it' reasonable to presume that she put on an act to play drunk in drinking a couple bottles of wine with Belloq--we know that she has the tolerance. I always liked the cross-universe commonality of Han Solo and Indy not believing in the "magic or hocus pocus" of the Force or the Lost Ark. Also note that the Nazi force didn't forget to pack the processional staves and flags for when they walk the Ark through the valley to the place where they open it up--they thought of everything (almost).
Actually, almost everyone who went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark already knew that “Han Solo” was going to be playing Indiana Jones. We loved Harrison Ford so much, we were ecstatic to see him once again. When we saw him, we knew “this is going to be good”.
I was 16 when this came out and saw it in the theater then, and I'll be honest, I don't remember my reactions and feelings (because, you know, 16). It was re-released in '88 or '89 to prep people for The Last Crusade. This is by far my favorite of the movies, but I love them all. We went this past Sunday night to see one of the Fathom Events screenings and it was a spectacular print (if you saw it in a theater that has good projection and sound, which I did - shout out to Regal theater in Trussville, Alabama!) and it was so great. I have seen this SO many times and I am invested every single time. SO many of the things that people take for granted as normal character stuff in 80s action films all was prompted by this (even though this is straight up homage and copy of a bunch of 30s to 50s movie tropes).
I find this to be a perfect movie. The setups, performances, cinematography, music... everything fits together like a perfectly beautiful jigsaw puzzle. The more you watch it, the better it gets because you see the craft and care and passion for telling this story. BUT... what makes this work is the -efficiency- of not only the storytelling but the film-making. The studio didn't trust Spielberg very much because he had gone over budget and over schedule so hard on Jaws and Close Encounters, AND with 1941 which flopped terribly. So they only gave them twenty million something to make this and Spielberg set out specifically to make a movie on time and on budget, and he delivered both under budget and ahead of schedule. They did as few takes as they could get away with in this movie. There's just a fire in the soul of this movie that shows when it's on the screen.
4:30 the guy with the eyeball was Indy's competitor that he was just talking about, recently killed, that's why he still have eyeballs and how careful Indy is compared to others. Then real freshy killed later on.
The ark IS the golden container... It holds the remains of the original stone tablets that the ten commandments were etched on...
The first three movies are a treasure, but "Raiders" alone , it's the crown jewel of modern action Adventure Cinema! 😊
Ke Huy Kwan (Short Round) appeared in a few films over the next two decades, but largely disappeared from Hollywood. However, he recently starred in "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once", a 2022 movie that was a critical and box office success, well worth watching. Kwan won an Oscar (best supporting actor) for his role.
15:57 Fun Fact: The interesting thing about this background shot is the fact that all of the houses we see had to have their TV antennas removed.
I love you enter into this trilogy!! i still loving you your smiles in the fun facts haha( and another ones)!!
Indiana Jones was born in 1899, so he was 37 at this time. BTW - Marion is ten years younger and they had an affair ten years earlier meaning she was 17 at that time of the affair
Princess Leia was also super young when she got together with Han Solo, respectively Carrie Fisher was very young when she had an affair with mid-thirties Harrison Ford^^. Seems to be a thing with him
It's weird, all this Mary Whitehouse
@@claudiag8823 You have TOTALLY mixed up the character with the actor AND THE FILMS. And no, Fisher and Ford did not have an affair. He was married with three sons. Good grief, retract all your nonsense, Mary Whitehouse.
@@claudiag8823 In _Star Wars,_ Luke and Leia are age 20. Solo is 29.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver In her autobiography Carrie Fisher wrote that she and Ford did have an affair while making the first STAR WARS.
Indy is the same age as whatever year it takes place. So, he’d be 36 in this. In the script, it said that she was fifteen ten years earlier.
Did you notice the C3PO on the side of the plane in the opening scene? Another Star Wars easter egg, like Club Obi Wan😀
had a skim through the comments as this tends to get mentioned early, i saw fiona had mentioned he was sweaty because he was ill, but the "fight" scene with the guy and the big sword was originally intended to be an actual fight, but he was so ill at the time the had to switch the fight scene out and instead just had him shoot him. sorry if i missed it and someone had mentioned this already
Belloq speaks with a British accent because most rich French people have done - they learn English in Britain or from British native speakers, who teach them how to pronounce, enunciation and elocution.
(Britain is only as far away from France as California is from Arizona.)
indeed, 007 was an inspiration for Indiana Jones, a few years ago I had vague memories (alas) coming back about having seen Raiders in movie theater... like you said, it should've been really fun to watch on the big screen
43:45 The gold chest IS the Lost Ark of the Covenant. When they opened it up, they were expecting to find the stone tablets containing the 10 commandments.
The Skeleton was Indy's competitor that recently went missing... That's why it still had an eye.
23:40...You do realise that monkey was a Nazi don't you?
I keep thinking that the Map Room was an archeological bonanza equivalent to the Rosetta Stone!
Fun fact: Harrison Ford was very ill with the flu at the time of the filming of this scene. He was supposed to use his whip to rip the sword from his hand. But Harrison Ford decided to use his gun instead with Spielberg deciding to go with it to the delight of audiences!
8:30 (Not shown in the reaction but) When Indy was spelling Neolithic on the chalkboard, his hesitation on spelling it was an inside joke, considering that Harrison Ford is Dyslexic.
People love Raiders the most. People like Temple and it has a lot of great moments. People love Last Crusade a lot, but if they think anything other than Raiders is the best then they're just simply wrong.
We don't speak of Skulls or Dials.
I want to erase all my epic movie memory from my brain, and watch this again seriously.
It is very happy moment to watch this movie in this era with flesh mind.
Once again I loved the reaction Coby. Just as much fun as the first. You are knocking these out of the park girl! We're coming up on my favorite Indiana Jones of the franchise with The Last Crusade. Looking forward to that review!
1:12 He ends up in the Pacific Northwest, befriends Samwise Gamgee, participates in a exploitative dance meme, befriends Josh Brolin before he became Tommy Lee Jones, does some science shit and frees a domesticated cave-dwelling pirate ship to be destroyed at sea. It's one... it's actually one hell of a story.
38:30 Indiana Jones was born July 1, 1899, so that would make him 37 years old in this one.
$5,000 in 1936 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $109,398.20 today, an increase of $104,398.20 over 87 years. The Headpiece of the Staff was worth quite a lot of money.
Harold Lloyd,Buster Keaton, johnny weismueller, burt Lancaster, Charlton Heston, Charles Bronson and Indiana Jones!
It appears you have fallen into the blockbuster trap. This is a very fast paced movie and you have to pay attention and remember what was said and know what is being improvised in the movie. I know you are starting to get it right in some places but sometimes in order to understand it you have to watch it again so you can see the pieces you missed that is the danger of certain movies if you don’t remember things on the first try you have to watch it again and again ( for me I had to watch it at least three times before I understood it) but sometimes if you can reading the movie book helps you or the novel if there is one. Then when you rewatch it you will really understand and enjoy the film a lot better
Just a simple piece of advice but this is a movie that you just should enjoy suspend disbelief and just have fun and ASK QUESTIONS LATER!
The movies in the original Indy trilogy are pretty much stand alone stories, much like the adventure serials of the 40's these films were influenced by.
The Ark contained the Commandments.
They turned to dust over time.
That was the sand.
17:39 You would've preferred they gave all the Germans lederhosen and toothbrush moustaches? 🤷♂
I Saw This Movie In The Theater When It Came Out. Just A Awesome Movie. Never Get Tired Of Watching It
The ornate vessel made of gold is the actual Ark, and the 10 Commandments were kept inside, 2 stone tablets with 5 Commandments carved on to each one. So while the Ark technically wasn't anything special on it's own, the stone tablets were and that's what the Nazis hoped to find. So as the viewer, we don't know if they were taken at some point, lost to time, or just crumbled due to age, but what happened at the end was what was shown in the picture from the Bible and was the power of God.
The Ark was special, this was like the seat of God where he would come in his Shekinah Glory when the Ark was in the tent for the Ark or the Temple of Solomon. Only the high priest could enter the area where the Ark was and only once a year.
There was even a certain group of priests who could handle carrying the Ark and when one of them touched the Ark when it was about to fall over, that priest died.
The diggers work for Sallah. Sallah is one of many digging companies contracted by the German's to excavate the ark. They don't ask questions because they're following Sallah's orders, not Indy's.
5:54 - by the way - in the first 'Hangover' in the hotel they did exactly this trick with switching the bag of nuts for glass of water weighting the same. Cool trick, but few moments later Zach Gallifinakis says he's wearing a satchel 'just like Indiana Jones'. so it looks like 2 "Raiders' references.
OK, Now I want to watch this movie again. But I have stuff to do! 😂😭
I've been in a sandstorm before in New Mexico. It didn't last long. I can't imagine one lasting a year.
The matte painting at the end of the movie (the warehouse full of mystical artifacts) was quite amazing.
44:50
Yes it's a very much bigger force.
It's the power of God himself.
God said to Moses:
"But you can't see my face, because nobody can see the face of God and still live".
That's why Indy told Marion to not look.
The "Ark" is the golden box. The contents are what has the power-the remnants of the Ten Commandments.
$5000 in 1936 is about the equivalent of $100,000 today. So, combined with "two hundred more when [they] get back to the States," he was offering $140,000 for the headpiece. Have to imagine he was given that cash by the government for expenses since most people wouldn't travel with $100,000 in cash.
The Knottsi Mechanic is the same actor as the Thugee that gets crushed in the mining equipment in Temple of Doom
17:40...So how exactly do Germans look? 🤔🤣
Harrison Ford is the only actor I know of who starred in 3 major franchises all about the same time. Indy, Han Solo, and Deckerd from Bladerunner!
Back in the day my sister and I went to see a movie and, when it was over, the theater invited everyone to stay for a sneak preview of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." I figured it would be searching for Noah's Ark or something. Boy were we surprised. This was great.
By the way, I'm watching your reactions in release order so it seems funny that you spend half your time talking about Temple of Doom.
I can absolutely positively tell you it's not the 4th
I'm not sure which came first, although I think it was Temple of Doom, but Ke Huy Quan starred in The Goonies at around the same age.
According to lore from Indy comic books/graphic novels, Short Round was adopted by Indy and sent to boarding school. He went on to become an archaelogist and went after the diamond that Indy lost in Temple of Doom.
Coby: I watch a LOT of reaction channels, and you're definitely one of the best! Keep up the beautiful work letting us re-watch our favorite films as if it's our very first time, yet again, WITH you! :)
Yes!!! I’m so excited to watch this!! Loved her “Temple of Doom”
reaction!!! 🙌🏻🤩
"Raawwhhhh! We're straight into the bugs on the back!"
Spiders aren't bugs. They are arachnids.
"Ahhhh! I hate it! I hate it!"
I say the exact same thing and have the same reaction when people watch movies in "chronological" order rather than release order...
38:37 [Unbuttons fly.] Indy: Here.
$5000 in 1935 would be $110,000 today! Indy was seriously packing. 🤯🤠
36:24 I always thought he looked like Paul Hogan as well. BTW This stunt coming up is REALLY Harrison Ford dragging behind the truck.
I am enjoying your reaction so far. I'm at the point when actor John Rhys Davis introduce Indy to Cairo. Do you recognize him? He also played Gimli the dwarf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
My All Time Favorite movie... I saw the movie in the cinema at the age of 10... seen in many times.. Love It!
0:57 _The Curious Case of Short Round._
The...under the truck stunt....never done before, never to be done again, considered way too dangerous!!
Actually it was a tribute to stuntman Yakima Canutt who did the same stunt in the 1939 film Stagecoach. Very dangerous then as well with a 6 horse team at full gallop, and unlike the stunt in this movie, they did not dig a trench to give him more room under the coach.
Watching them in chronological order isn't a bad idea actually, as I wouldn't recommend that for a lot of films, but it for sure works here. The only real issue I see, is how much darker Temple of Doom was in comparison to Raiders and the other films. The character feel and action are the same throughout, so if this was an episodic serial from the 30's, things fit together pretty well.
Growing up in the 80s I actually knew a LOT of people who saw Temple of Doom first and then saw Raiders later on HBO, because at the time they were too young for Raiders when it came out but parents took them to Temple of the Doom in theaters and in the five years before Last Crusade they all eventually saw Raiders, so watching in chronological order is more common than a lot of people think it was, just for that reason alone, haha. So we thought it would be fun to give Coby that experience just to be different than every other reaction on UA-cam - haha - it's all about variety.
@@popcornroulettereactions I know what you’re talking about. I was a kid when Temple came out. So the order I watched was Temple-Last crusade-Temple again I think-Raiders.
She was perfect in Jeff Bridges movie, Starman!!
