Considered one of the greatest movie trilogies (and one more) of all time, Indiana Jones takes us along for the ride as Harrison Ford solves puzzles, avoids snakes, and maybe fucks his students? We're just reading between the lines, folks. And of course if it has a theme park presence, you know I gotta watch with Zach!
Plots (via Wiki & ChatGPT):
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) recovers a Golden Idol but loses it to rival archaeologist Belloq (Paul Freeman). US agents inform Jones that Nazis are after the Ark of the Covenant in Egypt. Jones reunites with Marion (Karen Allen) and acquires a medallion leading to the Ark. They find the Ark but are captured by Nazis. Jones escapes, retrieves the Ark, and saves Marion. They are intercepted by Nazis on a U-boat to an island. Jones confronts the Nazis as they open the Ark, resulting in their deaths. Jones and Marion survive. The Ark is stored in a US warehouse, its contents hidden from public knowledge.
In Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones survives an assassination attempt and escapes with Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan) and Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw). They arrive in an Indian village where the villagers seek their help to retrieve a stolen sacred stone and rescue kidnapped children. At the Pankot Palace, they discover a Thuggee cult conducting human sacrifices and abducting children to find more stones. Jones, Scott, and Short Round are captured, but manage to escape and defeat the cult. They rescue the children and confront the cult leader, Mola Ram (Amrish Puri), on a rope bridge. Jones invokes Shiva, causing the stones to burn and defeat Ram. British soldiers arrive, and Jones and Scott return the remaining stone. They embrace as the village rejoices.
In The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones searches for his missing father, Henry (Sean Connery), and the Holy Grail. Jones receives his father's diary and travels to Venice with Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott). They discover clues in a catacomb and are attacked by the Order of the Cruciform Sword. Jones saves their leader, learns his father is in an Austrian castle, and sends Marcus to İskenderun. Jones reveals the diary to Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) before infiltrating the castle. They are captured by Nazis, including Schneider, who is a collaborator. Jones and Henry escape, retrieve the diary in Berlin, and evade the Nazis in a zeppelin. In Hatay, they join Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) to find the Grail. Nazis defeat the Order, capture Henry, and Jones destroys the Nazi convoy. In the Grail temple, Donovan (Julian Glover) mortally wounds Henry. Jones overcomes traps, saves Henry, and defeats Donovan. Schneider dies, the temple collapses, and Jones escapes with his companions.

I love that Eric literally watches movies for a living, yet he is only aware of iconic movies scenes through the lens of their theme park adaptations.
☝🏼
The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean rides are the original canon.
Coolest job ever if you think about it
And the Lego sets
@@PrettyMuchIt I have the Lego set for this movie. Also I have silicon Dobby 😂.
My dad played a nazi in the last crusade, he sneaked home the costume he wore and still has it today.I was very young and didn’t understand what he meant when he said he played a nazi, so I went into school and told everyone my dad was a Nazi without any further context and my parents were called by the school
LOL
woah thats cool! do you know what scene?
A DADZI
bruh
Yeah what scene was he in?
11:50 The way Eric could have kept him saying "maybe I should fuck my mom" behind a paywall but he decided to put it in the edit anyways for all of us to hear for free is honestly kind of admirable in a weird way.
I think I would've paid to not have heard it
@@nastassjahall9358 Too bad buttercup, you heard it, you can't unhear it.
Luckily Patreon offers you a free trial even if you don't wanna pay! I gotta support my boy and do a plug for him😂
Fun fact! This is a potential marketing ploy called "foot in the door" technique.
@@nastassjahall9358 Fun fact! This is a potential marketing ploy called "here you go anyways" and is in no way a fallacy of any kind. :)
Fun fact the “he eats a fly” thing is a real thing that the editors did to trick people, a fly did crawl on him int he take but they removed something like 4 frames so you never see it fly away
Omg thats so funny
how the fuck have I never noticed the name of the club in temple of doom until now
Sticking your arm into a bug filled horror hole is way worse than standing in a room full of snakes. She totally has justification for hesitating and panicking.
Also fun fact, the actress took sedatives before hand to calm her down for the scene.
I love Kate Capshaw in Temple of doom! Serious guts to do the bug scene…She’s married to Spielberg irl!
Yeah sorry, You would need to knock me out and use my arm like a puppet to get my hand to go into the bug hole 😂
Whenever museums (or school) had one of those "stick your arm in this hole and guess what it is" walls i got soO scared
@@vogelvrouw nightmare fuel
i love when eric covers movies like this that are classics because we’ve all seen them but i could never actually tell you the plot of any of them
I’ve never seen a single one but now I feel the need to check them out.
You need to up your movie knowledge my friend...
@@JustAnotherChap i know :(

5:52 As someone currently taking a screen writing class in college.
I can confirm that is exactly what a “Story By” credit is.
Nice. Now I feel like George was just sitting back in a chair throwing ideas out “yeah yeah but what if he falls into a lion tamers car on a train and that’s where the whip comes from” it’s very Lucas
it was a collaborative effort. he didn't write the script or anything but they created the character together. George lucas was also responsible for making indiana jones have sex with a 15 year old girl
It’s much more at the same time you can professionally sell a screenplay and if a certain percentage is changed your role can be downgraded to story by it’s not always a treatment and Lucas would still rework and rehire and perform edits the last crusade has menno meyjes with a story by credit but he wrote a whole screenplay that they only used certain aspects of. Even if a script says written by it had more writers most the time and other changes by the director. I did film in school but real screenplay experience and seeing it on the actual side definitely shows you how it works
You can actually look up his treatments for these films their about 8-10 pages that he gives for the writer to break down. But the temple of doom is considered very dark because his direct involvement. If any film teacher told you a story by credit is just spewing one idea that’s a horrible definition and example because people have had the ideas and loglines but not received credit and people have done the equivalent of what Lucas was doing but just fought and won co-written by credits on their movies
Damn there’s something about the charm in the original Indiana Jones trilogy that I’ve never seen replicated in any other modern day film, even by the continuing franchise. Last crusade’s my personal favorite.
Limitations breed creativity, I think that’s a part of the reason. They couldn’t take every set for granted, didn’t have as much money to do anything they thought they wanted, so they had to put their all into making sure every scene and its effects worked.
That, and it was all new stuff so there weren’t masses of people to try to appeal to via hard statistics.
as someone who has worked at both Disney and Universal's theme parks, commentaries like these honestly make me laugh twice as hard. never stop
Sean Connery as his father is the best casting of all time. It just MAKES SENSE.
Everyone talks about how Temple of Doom is so dark and scary, but honestly it’s probably the one that scared me least of the kid… I guess melting nazi faces and rapped aging is scary to me than getting your heart pulled out lol
Yeah the ghosts and melting faces traumatised me, the Temple of Doom didn’t bother me at all 😂
There’s a sorta distance from the known I think that affects temple. Like “oh people don’t actually eat brains and have murder cults in India” at least to the common person.
But like aging and Nazis are more real to the North American audience and I imagine they were a lot more familiar in their day since it’s basically the old radio serials your dad who also fought in “The war” would play
Raiders and Crusade are definitely scarier for me despite Temple being more grisly, probably because the supernatural elements of movies 1 and 3 are closely connected to my actual beliefs... (Also I wasn't allowed to watch the films until I was a teenager)
I thought the nuke testing town scene was so scary. I had nightmares for months not just bc of the nuke but bc of the mannequins.
Seriously though, its my least favourite, ppl keep claiming its amazing cuz its so dark but no offense seeing someone age rapidly and watch their skin melt and turn to dust is a bit scarier than the super campy dumb Indian stereotypes immediately pull you out of the film, its like okay here’s any other camp film, they usually leave the religious stuff till the end in the other movies where it makes an impact cuz its built up so much. Like yeah there’s ‘child slavery’, but the other films deal with fucking nazis so its not that dark. Its just more boring, i have to listen to kate capshaw whine and whine, as they sit around in a castle doing nothing until only at the very end is there a theme park ride. The stakes tension and excitement are so much reduced compared to one where Indiana is actually involved with the events of the film
I went on Tower of Terror as a kid and I was fine, but when the big boulder comes down during the Indiana Jones ride I bawled my eyes out.
Shit looks 100% real
Eric’s point about how doing Indie’s backstory works then, but not now, is made funnier when you remember Solo is a thing 😂
The last crusade was my first encounter with River Phoenix, and I was amazed. What an actor.
This was my dad and I’s favorite set of movies when I was a kid. Watched them all the time, I have so many fond memories with my dad and these movies!!
Temple of Dooms easily my favorite, but all of the original trilogy was excellent
❤️
Dad's love Indiana Jones and specifically Harrison Ford
@@PrettyMuchIt Eric I'm going to pretend the title isn't title of the video you actually are saying Indiana Jones is cool.
The way I understand it, people hate the aliens because its sci-fi when the series had clearly been fantasy up until that point. I don't think aliens are super consistent with a franchise where the Jewish, Christian, and Hindu gods all exist (or something)
Maybe better put that various religious artifacts have power (of their own?) but the young Indiana Jones is mostly historical fiction (Forrest Gump style) so I don’t find aliens really that weird.
@@spelcheak that's probably closer to the truth, but it's magic regardless
Also it was just really weird.
And that they showed a dumb looking alien that was really angry or something. I actually was into the movie somewhat before the really stupid stuff happened.
it's basically because the alien looks stupid and also shia lebouf is in the movie and also he goes in the fridge. if the movie only had one of those three things, I think people would like it more.
I’m sorry but the holes bit at like 2:30 genuinely has had me laughing like a maniac for the past twenty minutes and I can’t finish the video because I keep wanting to go back to Eric’s revised rap 😭
*"HENRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!?"*
- Dumbledore asked calmly.
4:18 “Points at his asshole”
That made me laugh way more than it should have.
I cannot believe you both said Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure in exact synchronization.
I further cannot believe someone would admit to preferring the side car when the motorcycle seat is clearly superior 11:57
Last Crusade is my favourite by far, something about that really perfect father-son story and the iconic, perfect structure of chases interspaced by really good drama. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford??? Who can beat that. Idk as a kid it definitely beat out Raiders for me.
That Parseltongue joke was too good! 😂
2:33 you guys are real ones for referencing Holes. I would’ve done the same rewatching theses films.
The George Lucas impression got me so bad I think I woke up my neighbors
That “parceltongue” joke was incredible.
“I don’t like Nazis”
“I can make an exception”
😂😂😂
Indiana Jones has what it takes to bring back everything iconic on the big screen again. It's truly that phenomenal.
12:15 The hitler walk around comment literally made me shoot water out my nose laughing
with as many references to various theme parks Eric makes, he really should do a theme park vlog some day
Eric is so much fun when he's doing solo commentary tracks (Kick-Ass and Outer Banks come to mind) but holy shit if he doesn't bounce off of others incredibly well
Raiders is literally my favorite movie of all time. I was so happy to see it in theaters a few days ago
SAME!!
They're all on Disney+ now too.
@@xLionsxxSmithyxAnd a great new 4k box set
I got so much joy hearing you guys singing the theme music. ❤🎉
Eric that Indiana-Holes rap was perfection
Indiana Jones is what got me into film making, glad to see you do a commentary.
Dude, I get SO happy whenever I see one of your highlights in my sub box.
Zach is back!! Love to hear his voice! You two are so funny together, great video ❤️
One of my favorites things about Raiders is the opening gun whipping scene because if you look closely the gun just clatters against the rock and falls into river theres not even smoke to give the illusion the gun fired just the sound of the gun shot and it still works you think you see smoke and know the gun fired from the sound.
Last Crusade is currently my favorite Indy film. Always bounces between Crusade and Raiders. Temple of Doom is awesome too and I even like Crystal Skull, just not as much. I'm still excited to see Dial of Destiny though I'm not expecting it to top any of the others but I'm sure it will still be fun.
Finally found someone with the same opinion. In my discovering of Indiana Jones movies, I found out about Temple of Doom last, watched Crystal Skull first when I was 11 and loved how entertaining it was, still do. Excited for the new one
Crystal skull has a neat atmosphere that I really like
@@007megaoof yeah right especially the 50s time period sits very well with me
”eat my ass, coppola” might be the funniest thing ive ever heard
I literally had a teacher named doctor jones who left for a month without saying anything
what the
Fun Fact!
The Indiana Jones Adventure Ride (Temple of the Forbidden Eye) is actually CANON in the Indiana Jones universe. It takes place right after Temple of Doom. Willie Scott goes back to America but Indiana Jones finds a map leading to the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. Henry calls up Sallah and tells him to come down so they can find the temple. They find it and call Marcus Brody so the university can fund the excavation. They excavate it with the now newly formed Lost River Delta Excavation Company. As time goes on, more and more of the excavation members start dying due to things happening in the temple. Indiana Jones keeps persevering to go deeper in because it's rumored that the Jewel of Power is inside the temple. After a while, they find the Chamber of Destiny in which Mara can supposedly grant a wish of her desire to the guest that doesn't look into her eyes. Henry goes no further because of funding for the excavation running out so he and Sallah start doing tours through the temple to get more funding. Some tourists end up making it through the Chamber of Destiny with their gifts but others start being not as lucky as they start looking into the eyes of Mara. Soon, Indiana himself goes into the Chamber to see if he can find the guests. He also goes missing. So now, Sallah keeps doing the tours in hopes of finding out what happened to the guests and Indiana. One specific jeep ends up making it into the Chamber of Doom, which is only able to be seen by those who look into Mara's eyes. Before getting eaten by the Gates of Doom, Indy closes the gates and tells the jeep to veer off to the left. Indy is able to jump onto the jeep before it leaves and the jeep traverses through the rest of the rooms in the temple. Somewhere before the dart room, Indy falls off the jeep and is able to find himself in the Boulder room where he, for some reason, goes on the rope hanging from the ceiling and waits to be rescued. The jeep soon pulls in and before Indy can jump down, the jeep triggers a plate that brings the boulder rolling. The jeep backs up but the driver goes for it and Indy and the boulder follow right behind the jeep as it breaks the ground. Indy is rescued and the guests are known to be dead (as seen in the mummy room). Sallah and Marcus want to shut down the excavation but Indy is reluctant, saying he still wants to find the Jewel of Power. However, while Indy was stuck in the temple, Belloq was able to find out where Jones was and was able to go inside the excavation and steal the Jewel himself so after hearing that, Indy agrees to shut it all down.
But where was Short Round?
@BrendanJSmith a very good question. He might have gone back to the states on a different plane and gotten some education with Marcus Brody and Jones helping him out
God damn I love this trilogy so much. Indiana is the family dog's name! Salleh has a whole "You are named after the dog? ROFL" about it
Fun fact: that German officer in Raiders is played by the same guy who does the voice for Aku-Aku in the German dub.
Love how theme park-core this was
2:58 these 2 jokes are probably the funniest thing I've ever heard regarding the Indy Franchise
I love Indianas’ dad. Him in the side car with his little umbrella is so cute 😂❤
“We named the dog Indiana” George Lucas literally named Indiana Jones after his real life dog Indiana
These movies still hold up. This was my childhood and wanted to be Indiana Jones.
“I had a dream I was on the Starcruiser and I got sad.” Me too, Zac. Me. Too.
I’ve not laughed this much in such a long time 😂 loves this video! Rewatched all the films before this. Such a gorgeous set of films tbh.
glad you enjoyed rewatching with us!
Anyone else find it hilarious how Eric unintentionally talked over the meaning behind the Indiana name? Kinda like their 13 Reason Why live when the crowd had to tell them they missed something important lol
Not hate, love your commentaries Eric, and thank you for your continuous hard work!
p sure we caught it in the full tracks, these are edited highlights! 😂
oh my god im loving the indy resurgence in pop culture UGH thank you for doing this
“Do you think any of your teachers when you were in high school were going on adventure on the weekend?
“No I was homeschooled”
As a homeschooler I felt that
This is the commentary track I neeeded
I love this dynamic you guys have! Keep it up!
The third will always be my favorite, but I have a soft spot for Crystal Skull cause it’s the first I saw in theaters as a kid
A Bill Paxton lifeless delivery on The Twister ride reference? **Chefs kiss**
Holy fuck I completely forgot River Phoenix was young Indy 😭😭😭😭
Last Crusade is the GREATESTTTTT
I saw that bug scene ONCE like 8 years ago and it literally traumatized me I still have nightmares of those things sometimes
I love the Holes reference ❤😂😂
13:27 never thought about this until now, but how did a knight from the Crusades living in complete isolation from the outside world learn to speak perfect modern English lol
magic.
All the Harry Potter references... I'm happy to say they work because the guy who plays the bad guy in Last Crusade...is Aragog. I actually have a classic 80s Last Crusade poster from our local theatre in my room! I only recently saw Temple of Doom, actually, because my mom was like- "It's worth all the racism for hot Indy." She was right...and also the minecart ride.
My mom was a teacher and my sister and I would have to go up to the high school with her in the summer sometimes when she had like summer school or whatever and we would borrow the ten or so movies from the library. For some reason, they had all three Indiana Jones movies so we watched them ALL THE TIME.
Everytime I watch Indiana Jones I always think about the guy in the writers meetings and said “hey, you know what’s cool, WHIPS”
I'm so happy you posted this. love you!
❤️
@4:00
Zach: "Parcel tongue."
Eric: "ᵒʰʰʰᵐʸᵍᵃʷʷʷᵈ *ʷʰᵉᵉᶻᵉ*"
Love the commentary on the music. John Williams really is the GOAT
Watching them freak out over stick insects when they were literally my primary school class pets lmao
5:52
That George Lucas impression is bang on!
even tho it was just for a minute but y’all don’t know how much it means to me to see river phoenix appear in a PMI video
I was literally watching your no way home video when i got the notification for this and I knew I had to watch
4:25 Eric is right, that is not Indiana Jones with a bazooka. It isn’t a bazooka (an American weapon), it’s a Chinese copy of a Soviet RPG-2 that was modified to look “German.” The German’s didn’t actually have anti-tank launchers like this back in 1936, but the scene required Indy to have a rocket launcher so this RPG was mocked up by the movie’s props department.
Temple of Doom is the most entertaining movie ever
Honestly I’d be down to watch Eric and friends watch/react to theme park ridethrough videos, between mentioning the Twister ride and the Indiana Jones ride
I saw The Last Crusade in the theater when I was a kid in 1989 and thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. That’s one of the many reasons why it will always be my favorite Indiana Jones movie.
I am the biggest Harrison Ford fan. These movies are my absolute favorite...Crystal Skull however....well...😂😅 BUT....i still love them in their little way. Temple of Doom is ans always will be my favorite
“This whole place is Slytherin” killed me
your editing flows very well!
3:50 to 4:04 had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂
Me too.
Since Eric lives in a van and watches movies for a living. I feel like he would come watch a movie with me if I asked nicely. Love the content man keep it up.
One of the best action/adventure film trilogies ever!!!!
Raiders (my fav) is a cinema masterpiece of a classic. Amazing action, beautiful cinematography and an iconic character played by the legendary, Harrison Ford!
Temple is a good but dark prequel (takes place in 35 while Raiders takes place in 36 fyi) which introduced us to one of the best sidekicks in film, Short Round (aka future Oscar Winner Ke Huy Quan).
And Crusade is an emotional deep father and son story that dives into faith and belief, (also Crusade is my dad’s fav and Ford and Connery’s chemistry is just chefs kiss 👌🏻)
Not to mention John William’s iconic score. Spielberg and Lucas struct gold with this franchise.
Even tho Crystal Skull doesn’t live up to the level of the OG 3, it still has its few good moments. I hope Dial of Destiney is at least enjoyable! 🤞🏻
i absolutely love these movies (and harrison ford) but to be completely honest i only remember the films based off the lego Indiana Jones game on my Nintendo🤣 so this was such a refresher and sign that i NEED to rewatch them. also SEAN CONNERY BEING HIS DAD LIKE WHAT MR BOND AND DR JONES
Never saw the club name in the background of temple of doom being named Club Obi Wan 😵💫😵💫 such a cool easter egg
"neither of them is named indiana jones?" [theme music, credits]
4:30 has me in pain from laughing
love that you did tracks for all the indy movies!!!
11:57 was so goddamn fucking funny
1:25 Mostly by studying composers from the Golden Age of Hollywood like Max Steiner, Miklos Rozsa, & Erich Korngold (as well as classical composers like Dvorak, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, etc)
Holst's Planets was a huge classical influence.
The musical score when Jones is revealed at the start is fucking fantastic
Anytime you upload a video it’s the highlight of my day! I’ve always loved movies, but you got me interested in really analyzing film. thank you so much for helping me find that part of my life :)
that’s amazing!
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull seriously gets a lot of hate for nothing. The Indy movies were my entire childhood and as a kid, the fourth one never felt different or out of place. It was just an older Indy being badass, business as usual.
Agreed. People just love gatekeeping the series and acting like they're the only "real fans" because they only like the first 3
Hard disagree. 4th was not even really a good movie, don't mind Indiana Jones. But that's me.
I agree, I watched the first 3 with my mum, and when we were watching the 4th one she kept going on about “this is kinds crap isnt it?” “This isnt as good as the other ones.” “Do you want to just turn it off?” And I was actually enjoying it, it was just like any other indy film. My favourite is the 2nd but it never felt like it dragged on afterwards. I finished the film in my room later on and I loved it!
@@littlemissmellothe 4th is better than the 2nd for sure.
@Magikarp No no no ... not necessarily religious. The Indy movies are supernatural. I don't think it has anything more over the top than the other ones 🤷
Gotta love the idea that Indy and Marion were seconds away from smothering in the snake pit considering, you know, the hundreds of snakes that have clearly been surviving in the chamber with no problem
was just binging pretty much it vids when this popped up😂
Dude this is awesome, I had y’all in my ears with me when I saw the latest Jurassic World at AMC and had a great time! Was confused why everyone hated the movie, realized that’s what made it for me.
Pretty Much It guests goes
1. Miles
2. Zach
3. Scott
personal opinion of course
Maaaaan. Last Crusade is probably my favorite of them all.
Me too.
I'd say the issue with Crystal Skull isn't necessarily "CS's Supernatural was worse than First 3's", but rather that it goes in a weird Sci-Fi direction with Aliens and Wormholes, while the first three were things like ghosts and voodoo.
It's just such a weird departure from the already established mythos of the world "We have Supernatural stuff like ghosts"
It's similar to the problem that people had with the introduction of *Remnant* in the FNaF series: It started with the animatronics being possessed by the *ghosts* of the missing children, but then Remnant was like Scott Cawthon making them Sci-Fi and saying "actually when there's dead stuff near metal, the metal becomes charged with life energy, and that's how you can possess a robot 🤓" like, why'd you have to include a whole new genre into this mess???
Man I need the full high quality version of that holes song remix
I was actually eating dates during the 'bad dates' scene 😂
Yes! I’m glad y’all are doing these movies! I’ve always preferred these over the Star Wars movies for some reason
That line about your mom was INSANE 😂
