    Great reaction. At 11:38 I'm not sure that you noticed that Indy says "goodbye Lao Che" and when he closes the airplane door it says "Lao Che airlines" thus falling into the villain's trap. Although, to be fair, it's an odd plot point to think you wouln't have just stopped Indy right then and there.

As the owner of the air freight company he was probably rich enough that he could probably afford to lose one plane and its cargo.

      Also, to share a bit of Chinese culture, until some decades ago, male sons were quite a must in families, if you had none or worse, only daughters, almost certainly you'd have been socially humiliated. Lao Che having two sons appears to have given him quite a lot of social prestige, and losing one surely was a great dishonour for him.

    Late to the game here... but THANK YOU! Thank you for NOT hating Willie Scott! She's comedic relief, and they wanted an "Indy Girl" very different from Marion (who's still in Nepal in 1935). And also, thanks for realizing that this was a prequel (1935 compared to Raiders being in 1936). Oh, Mythbusters did a test on the raft out of a plane and it was plausible!

    Part of what I think you're experiencing during the opening is intense nostalgia. The song means a lot to you and is integral to who you are and what you love. This is a perfect analogy for people like me who wore out the Indiana Jones VHS as a child. Watching reactors such as yourself experience what was integral in my childhood brings out those same feelings.
    I went and saw the new sequel with my aging parents last week. Just being there with them and hearing the theme song made me tear up.

      Out of all the reactions I've watched, I've noticed it's mostly the women who don't like Willie, and I've concluded that many women, especially younger ones, don't like seeing a woman be the comic relief in a film. IMO they've been conditioned that any time a woman isn't super-capable, strong, or in charge it's somehow insulting or demeaning to women, and they can't accept a character outside a certain mental box. It was super refreshing to see Miranda actually appreciate it as a character portrait.

      They called it "Busted". Episode 35, "Escape Slide Parachute". They found that raft would slow a single person's descent enough to be not lethal, but it is inherently unstable, and would always flip upside down. It could function as a parachute but you couldn't rig that up while jumping from a disabled aircraft.

    I'm glad you liked this. I honestly think this is one of the most underrated movies of all time. When people say, "They don't make movies like this anymore," it's literally true. Just a combination of film stock and physical sets creates this wondrous, transporting, organic experience.
    [As an aside, I find it weird that few people think it's possible to survive falling out of a plane on a raft. It's an unbroken camera shot, and it's clear that the raft inflating creates enough wind resistance to slow it down. Once it hits the ground, it's slowed down sufficiently.]

    is that this is the only one where Indy actually succeeded.

Every other movie, the villains use it anyway, then it gets locked away, or worse (despite Last crusade being my favorite too) lost completely, maybe even crushed by the earth, the only benefit is that it didn't pass the seal, but that was nothing to do with Indy anyway, that was just the curse or the powers that be or something.

This was released as PG and a lot of parents were upset at the gore of this movie as they took young kids to see it.

    13:20 the first flight I give people in my plane, partway through the flight after getting altitude is to idle back without telling them, then fly around for 10min without power, them oblivious the whole time. The plane flies 100% fine without the engine. I just can't regain altitude without the engine. then I tell them we've been flying without the engine for the last 10min, and they have no clue. it's the best way to show people how safe planes are when the engine fails, without scaring anyone.

    Yeah, of the 3 Indiana Jones movies (there are only 3), this is my favorite. It hits all the right notes and pays wonderful homage to the old action-adventure serials of a bygone era. It's just a fun romp that never lets up. And the villain is so over the top that you have to almost like him in a way.

    I wasn’t there, so I can’t “officially confirm,” but George thought it would be fun to put a musical number into the middle of a Star Wars movie, which had just happened before this movie; therefore I’m sure this opening was George’s idea, and it’s fun!

    As a fellow theater nerd, I know EXACTLY what you meant by the opening of this movie! "Anything goes?" Sure, but how about if it's in Mandarin? It's a spectacular way to introduce an audience to be prepared for...anything! (It delivers.) And that live theater feeling you get only from being at the live theater? It's very hard to explain to someone who hasn't been. Movies can only hint at it. Fun fact: When this movie came out, I remember reading interviews with Spielberg where he said he had a secret wish to direct a musical some day. (By the way, I'm a composer of musicals. We're a bit of a different breed: I'm not as chatty you self-proclaim to be! But I love show people. They're like no - well, you know.)

    I loved the scene with Indy chasing that one guy, stopping, and turning around and fleeing as a bunch of other guys come after him. Reminded me of Harrison's scene in Star Wars when he chases a stormtrooper and then comes across several other stormtroopers, turns and runs away. (The special remade edition had a full bay of stormtroopers)

A mine cart ride called Calico Mine Ride is at Knotts Berry Farm and that amusement park is only 10 minutes away from Disneyland.

    I haven't seen Dial of Destiny, so I don't know if he was brought back, but I think the way Short Round could be brought back is that he could be an archaeologist as well, inspired by Indiana, having a friendly rivalry with his mentor. As for Willie, I could envision her being shown to be an activist, using her fame to bring awareness to conservation causes.

    13, the summer before starting high school. This was an event.
    As others have mentioned....
    Indiana Jones Adventure is an enhanced motion vehicle dark ride attraction based on the Indiana Jones film series, located at Disneyland (Temple of the Forbidden Eye, 1995) and Tokyo DisneySea (Temple of the Crystal Skull, 2001). Guests accompany intrepid archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones on a turbulent quest, aboard military troop transport vehicles, through a dangerous subterranean lost temple guarded by a supernatural power.
    Though the story is unique, througout the queue and ride, there are nods to the films.
    This is a gem of a ride that nearly 30 years after its smashing introduction, continues to thrill guests (including myself, as a Annual Pass, and now Magic Key, holder I've been on it countless times, including a few days ago).

    Fellow theatre kid here! Spielberg’s choice to open the second movie with a dance number might be one of the most badass things in the whole franchise.
    Watching the making-of documentary and hearing Spielberg talking about always wanting to make a musical really makes his later reinterpretation of West Side Story a hugely cathartic experience.

Agree with your take on just wanting good ol' entertaining movies, but it's quite clear that "they" just do not know how to make these any longer.

    13:30 you're actually right. by shifting weight, you can control a plane. In light planes, just leaning forwards and backwards in your seat can be enough. I used to use that trick to mess with my flight students to test their use of the trim. I also have used in on long cross country flights to fly a plane hands-free with no autopilot. I would trim it out, the fly hands off by just using the rudders and shifting my weight.

Since he did not know if that would ever happen he had a musical number written for his opening credits. I still have not seen WEST SIDE STORY but I am thrilled that he finally got to add a musical to his portfolio.

    Your reaction to anything musical or theatrical in all of these reactions is amazing.
    My one gripe with Temple of Doom is that it has a reverse character development for Indy, that really ought to have come AFTER the other two, not as a prequel. So there are some strange inconsistencies with the character. But Ke Huy Quan's Short Round is such a heart warming addition, and his humor and heart, in relation with Indy, is amongst the best in the series.
