There's another humourous part. For us older folks, Sean Connery will always be James Bond. To see him playing someone who can't handle fights and actions is funny
Interestingly, Spielberg really wanted to make a 007 film. When he wasn't permitted, he created the Indy character. There is a subtle nod to the fact at the start of Temple of Doom, when he's showing out in his white tuxedo jacket.
Especially since all the people try to sell him desert survival gear, food and water, and he just blithely waves them off, "No, thank you madam. Fish make love in it."
In the scene where they are escaping from the castle in the sidecar motorcycle, the soldier that put his front wheel on the back of the sidecar was also Harrison Ford. Apparently, all the stunt performers were not comfortable doing it, so Ford decided to do it and they stitched it into the film. You mentioned if both Indiana and his father were immortal now. Only if they stayed where the knight was and continuously drank from the cup.
@@VerowakReacts I just realized my comment may have come off as insulting. I meant it belongs in a museum because it holds cultural significance and should be preserved for all of time. 🤠
The joke about Indy being named after the dog goes deeper. George Lucas had an Alaskan Malamute and named him Indiana. He talked about how his dog would sit in the passenger's seat in his car like he was Lucas' co -pilot. That is where he got the idea of Chewbacca being Han's co-pilot.
Full circle here: I named a black-and-white tuxedo cat 'Indy' for two of her unique personality aspects: She was entirely fearless and ventured where no other cat would tread... then proceeded to wreck the $h1t out of the place once she was trapped in there.
I really like your hair to the side like this. It brings more attention to your facial expressions. You're one of the most expressive reactors out there.
The 1916 treasure hunter putting his fedora on young Indy's head; cut to 1938 Indy wearing it - is my favorite scene transition edit of all time. Also, Sean Connery played a sort of father figure/mentor in another fantastic film; The Name Of The Rose, a dark Medieval setting detective story.
That character was originally intended to turn out to be Abner Ravenwood, but the idea ended up being scrapped. I still think that would have been a cool little connection.
Afraid not. Actor Richard Young played Fedora in the opening sequence but stuntman Vic Armstrong was Harrison Ford's stunt double in all three of the original Indiana Jones films.
@@VerowakReacts A great Connery flick to check out is The Rock. (1996) Fan theories call it the last Connery "Bond" film. As in the back story for Connery's character meshes somewhat with the last time Connery played Bond, and who he is. Also stars Nicholas Cage, Ed Harris and a bunch of others and is a Michael Bay film.
River Phoenix was a lost treasure. He was a spectacular actor that left us way to soon. Having The Very Macho Connery play a nerdy Professor was Genius and he played it Brilliantly . This was the perfect ending to a near perfect Trilogy. All could stand on their own but together they were spectacular. RIDING OFF ON HORSE BACK at the end was just perfect . People cheered in the Theater when that happened. Using the whip to show how Ford got his very real scar on his chin was a masterclass
Always envisioned River Phoenix being groomed to take over the role some day or continue to make cameos as a younger Indiana in future films. He was such a huge loss
I think it's the addition of Sean Connery that makes this IJ so much better than the other two. There chemistry is so entertaining as well as their experiences with the lovely Dr. Elsa Schneider.😮😊❤

Where in the world did you come up with the notion that The Last Crusade is "so much better than The Raiders of the Lost Ark"? To you it maybe that's so but based on millions of ratings & reviews from the 2 most credible sites, The Raiders of the Lost Ark is rated slightly higher than The Last Crusade. The Raiders of the Lost Ark imdb: 8.4/10, 1.1million reviews R.Tomatoes: 96%, 250,000+ ratings The Last Crusade imdb: 8.2/10, 831,000 reviews R.Tomatoes: 94%, 250,000+ ratings
@_MjG_ The statistical difference in the ratings is meaningless. It all comes down to taste. I found RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK a bit creepy. Didn't you? What did Mariam mean when she yells out to Indiana, "I was a child!! I was in love!!" Indiana Jones replies, "You knew what you were doing." Sort of creepy, don't ya think?
A fun fact, it´s when young Indy uses the whip and gets a scar himself in the chin. Harrison Ford, in real life, has a scar in the same place, but in his case was due to a car crash when he was young.
40:19 Yes, they actually did. That is where the salute comes from. It goes all the way back to showing that you don't have any weapons in your hands. From there, it was ritualized.
Thats why sword-fighters back in the day had been trained right handed. So you wouldnt be able to pull your sword and it was an insurance, that you had come in peace.
One of my favorite lines ever: "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne! 'Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky.'" It's great, even if it's entirely made up, and Indy's look of admiration after is a nice moment. 😁
@@thatsoundslikeblue Yeah, I saw this in the theater when it came out, years before Google existed, and wracked my brain trying to find a source for the damn quote.
I'm living through a bit of immortality at work these days. I've been at my company for so long, and I've seen so many faces come and go, that I don't even bother learning names anymore. 😢 Funny bit; I had a co-worker approach me once and say, _"I know you're new here, but..."_ and everyone started busting out laughing. I hadn't met this guy before because I do a lot of field work. 😂

Which is why he loved this movie so much. Because it’s already established that he HATED bond and would rather do or talk about ANYTHING as long as it wasn’t bond.

I dont know if anyone said it, but.... Its not said in the movie, but the script had planed for the "grave robber" who gave Indy his had, to be Abner Ravenwood, Marions Father. (you can read it in Indiana Jones official magazin no.4) That idea was later redconed in "the adventures of young Indiana Jones" and isnt mentioned by Lucasfilm anymore.
Had The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles received another season, one of the remaining scripts that George Lucas outlined involved Indy meeting his professor, Abner Ravenwood, and a French archaeology student named Rene Belloq. Alas, that script and another featuring Harry Houdini never made it to production before the series was cancelled by ABC.
Named after the dog story. A boy named Marion had a dog named Duke, Duke liked to visit everyone in town, everyone knew him an liked, Marion became known as "Duke's owner" and later just Duke. Marion went to Hollywood and broke into movies but Marion Morrison is not a very good stage name so he adopted the moniker John Wayne, the Duke, now you know.
😄👍 The same year this film came out, Sean Connery also played Dustin Hoffman's father in "Family Business." 😏 He was only 8 years older than Hoffman. 🤓
The opening sequence showing the audience where Indy picked up all his accessories and affectations is great. When Solo did the same thing with another famous Harrison Ford character, they stretched it into the entire movie. That wasn't so great.
No Indy & Henry aren't immortal with one drink from the grail. They were both healed of injuries by one drink from it, and COULD have everlasting life, were they to stay in the chamber with it, continuing to drink from it, to heal them ongoingly, ("He who drinks from"... not he who has a drink) That's what the knight must've been occasionally doing, while still growing old & weak, without food. He subsisted on the healing power of the grail, & expected to die once vanquished, but it isn't a fountain of youth.
"But the Grail can not pass beyond the Great Seal. That is the BOUNDARY and the price of immortality." (emphasis mine) In other words, only so long as you remain inside of the Great Seal (from the Seal inward toward the Grail shrine) can one enjoy the gift of immortality. As soon as one passes beyond the Great Seal, the immortality effect of the Grail ceases. So even drinking repeatedly from the Grail over the years wouldn't yield immortality if one did so outside of the temple, specifically beyond the Great Seal.
Always envisioned River Phoenix being groomed to take over the role some day or continue to make cameos as a younger Indiana in future films. He was such a huge loss
38:18 I believe Elsa chose a false grail on purpose because she was mad at Donovan for shooting Indy's father. Recall, when Indy asks which one, she says "It would not be made of gold." (or something like that). Great reaction! Fun to watch with you . . .
@@VerowakReacts If you didn't get the reference, The cup was made from wood. Jesus's human "stepfather" Joseph, was a carpenter by trade, and would have most likely associated all his life with people with similar skills/ property. Its highly unlikely the Last Supper would have been served with something with Jewels andGold, but people of lesser knowledge would Assume King/ Son Of God/ etc. to have fancy, expensive things. A good nod to who Jesus would be in historical contxt.
Fun fact: His name being Indiana after the dog is an inside joke between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Lucas modeled Chewbacca the Wookie from Star Wars after his childhood dog, who happened to be named Indiana.
Not sure if you’ve already watched the movie Dogma (Kevin Smith, 1999), but there’s a scene in that movie where Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) throws Ben Affleck and Matt Damon off the train, and then turns to concerned passengers and just says, “no ticket”. Anyone who has seen this movie gets the reference! But sadly, these days many people don’t get it.
A great drinking game is finding all the 'divine intervention' moments. Also, Indiana Jones is proof for dnd that a Rogue Paladin is a valid multiclass.
The music in the entire trilogy is fantastic, but I always loved the Grail theme. It serves as a reminder of the power of the Holy Grail and the history the Joneses are chasing after, as well as their own personal history.
Interesting tidbit, in the movie Dogma, Silent Bob does the same exact thing that Indy did with the no ticket scene. Even afterwards, says "No Ticket." It's hilarious.
Really wonderful reaction to watch! This movie really hits the sweet spot of adventure and humor. A great end to the original trilogy. Someone online just pointed out that, as he's hanging by one hand and his father is trying to help him, his father finally calls him "Indiana" and that formalized the relationship he always wanted so he was able to give up the Grail. Really neat writing choice.
Not a plane, a Zeppelin ! -a Dirigeable invented by Graf Zeppelin himself. It must be the Graf Zeppelin itself because its sistership, the Hindenburg completely burnt upon arrival in New York in 1937, one year before the setting of the movie. Those things use Hydrogen to lift, Hydrogen is very volatile and flammable ! Notice how the Tickets Please soundtrack resembles Gilderoy Lockhart theme in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, same composer.
As a Canadian, I appreciate your "hi-bye" shout-out to Canada as the plane flew over Newfoundland! However, I feel compelled to point out that in 1938 it was still the Dominion of Newfoundland and wouldn't join the Canadian Confederation until 1949. My province of British Columbia was part of the Confederation at that time though, having joined in 1871... which I still fondly remember like it was yesterday.
Hello Miss Verowak!😊 I think most people agree the overall plots of the remaining films are just not good. This is my favorite of all the Indiana Jones films. The first film is second, and the second film is third. The air ship they board is part of the same fleet as the Hindenburg, which had already crashed and burned in New Jersey. Great reactions to the third and best of the trilogy IMO, Miss Verowak!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh by the way, if your into gaming Vero, the brand new Indiana Jones game 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' releases today (on XBox, PS5 and PC) its included in gamepass on PC and XBox too. I suspect if you are into games you already knew but just in case you didnt! :D
This film is contrived, cheesy, and a total blast! My favorite of the franchise. Connery was perfect, and Ford was his usual awesome as Indy. Great chemistry, great script, great adventure.
Besides some of the James Bond films, Sean Connery is also in The Hunt For Red October, First Knight and The Rock. Young Indy is played by River Phoenix, the late older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. The actors playing Walter Donovan and Adolf Hitler are both in The Empire Strikes Back
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is one of my favorite Sean Connery films. It's like an 1890s Avengers story. Sir McLennan was Peter Jackson's second choice for Gandalf, after Sir Connery. Notably Saruman was the Man With the Golden Gun.
@VerowakReacts if you do, I'd recommend doing at least one of each Bond. Connery is my favorite, but Moore, Dalton, Bronson, and Craig all bring something interesting to the table. You can probably skip Lazerby. I enjoy his movie, but I'm in the minority.
25:05 British character actor Micheal Sheard, plays Adolf Hitler, but he was even more of a terrifying hate sink figure to we British kids as Mr Bronson, deputy headmaster of Grange Hill school. He put the fear of god into us.
Great reaction like always. love this one for me this one is the best. A fun-fact Sir Sean Connery was only, like, 12 years older than Harrison Ford... playing his dad :P The main reason Connery was cast as Indy's dad is because, as James Bond, Bond is the father of Indy. Not in canon, but Spielberg wanted to make a James Bond movie after Close Encounters. He couldn't because the rights belonged to the Broccoli family & EON productions. Spielberg's buddy, George Lucas, was like, "Hey, I have something better than Bond...Indiana Jones." Keep up the good work.
In the theater when I was young, when the knight said, "He chose...poorly" there was an eruption of laughter ah the summer of 89, lotsa good movies that year
They got the actor in the same (or similar) costume to do a Coke commercial. Someone chose an inferior cola product and the knight told them that they chose poorly. I can't remember if it came out *during* the theatrical run or immediately after it. Probably still around on RUclips somewhere.
@@nicholasregan6526 I was curious, so I looked it up: it was for Diet Coke, and there are two versions. The original was probably around during the theatrical run, and the shorter 30 sec. version was timed with the VHS release. In both cases, they just used clips of the knight, they didn't actually bring in the actor. Oh well, memory plays tricks on us all!
Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are a fantastic duo... what other actors make a great team?

I can never help thinking oh Highlander when Indy‘s dad say Elsa thought she’d found a prize.
Having the original James Bond as Indiana Jones' father is one thing. Making him the Costello to Ford's Abbott is entirely something else.
And a Russian U boat captain with a Scottish accent. 😂
The cut Marcus being lost and asking for directions after indy talks him is when of my favorite movie moments ever !
Especially since all the people try to sell him desert survival gear, food and water, and he just blithely waves them off, "No, thank you madam. Fish make love in it."
I never get tired of Indy's face when he finds out his dad slept with Elsa too. 🤣
Awkward moment yeah, but I mean, who wouldn't wanna saying goodbyes with Elsa :)
"I was the next man!" such a fun dynamic between them
Well how would you feel if you found out you got your dad's sloppy seconds?
Beautiful piece of improv by Connery, too. Everyone on set apparently lost it.
On par with Han finding out that Luke is Leia's brother for best Harrison Ford reaction shots.
Fun fact: Donnavan shoots Henry Jones with a Walther PPK. The exact same type of gun that Sean Connery used in his James Bond movies.
Plus, his first name is Walter.
I think Pierce Brosnan used it early in GoldenEye. Robbie Coltrane identifies it by sound in the Russian club.
Recently a lot of commenters made jokes regarding Elsa and "letting go" of the Holy Grail. Glad to see you caught it.
16:44 there’s a reason he says that. Not only from the Raiders of the lost Ark movie but from events that happened in the novels.
"You lost today kid, but that doesn't mean you have to like it." I've tried to adopt that outlook on life.

Its highly unlikely the Last Supper would have been served with something with Jewels andGold, but people of lesser knowledge would Assume King/ Son Of God/ etc. to have fancy, expensive things. A good nod to who Jesus would be in historical contxt.
@@nathancline4000 I got that it was made of wood :)
An interesting Spielberg movie was his made for television special called Duel. It's interesting because it's before he achieved fame as a director
Fun fact: His name being Indiana after the dog is an inside joke between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Lucas modeled Chewbacca the Wookie from Star Wars after his childhood dog, who happened to be named Indiana.
What a wonderful close to the trilogy. The music is outstanding. The relationship between all the guys is so cool. Perfect formed film
Not sure if you’ve already watched the movie Dogma (Kevin Smith, 1999), but there’s a scene in that movie where Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) throws Ben Affleck and Matt Damon off the train, and then turns to concerned passengers and just says, “no ticket”. Anyone who has seen this movie gets the reference! But sadly, these days many people don’t get it.
'.. he would know, he's a carpenter.' nice detail point-out.
39:55 It does strike me that Henry Jones Sr could say "Leave it, Dr Jones. It will be found. You won't".
Context is everything.
I never thought of that, " you're drinking his peers " lmfao😂
Pee bloody auto correct
It's the only thing that came to mind 🤣
@VerowakReacts I have seen this multiple times and it never occurred to me once, plus what does he eat?
@@chrisconnell1075 Rats, snakes? 😂
@VerowakReacts maybe the dudes from that sect that protect the grail supply him
A great drinking game is finding all the 'divine intervention' moments. Also, Indiana Jones is proof for dnd that a Rogue Paladin is a valid multiclass.
The music in the entire trilogy is fantastic, but I always loved the Grail theme. It serves as a reminder of the power of the Holy Grail and the history the Joneses are chasing after, as well as their own personal history.
"Everybody's lost, but me."
Interesting tidbit, in the movie Dogma, Silent Bob does the same exact thing that Indy did with the no ticket scene. Even afterwards, says "No Ticket." It's hilarious.
No ticket! Kevin Smith used that very line as Silent Bob in his 1999 movie Dogma after throwing Bartleby and Loki off from the train. Lmao 😂
Really wonderful reaction to watch! This movie really hits the sweet spot of adventure and humor. A great end to the original trilogy.
Someone online just pointed out that, as he's hanging by one hand and his father is trying to help him, his father finally calls him "Indiana" and that formalized the relationship he always wanted so he was able to give up the Grail. Really neat writing choice.
I love this movie and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it too
I'm thrilled it was chosen for me!! Such a fun movie, I can see why a lot of people love it so much
They should have left the adventures ending with this one! It was a great wrap up.
Not a plane, a Zeppelin ! -a Dirigeable invented by Graf Zeppelin himself. It must be the Graf Zeppelin itself because its sistership, the Hindenburg completely burnt upon arrival in New York in 1937, one year before the setting of the movie. Those things use Hydrogen to lift, Hydrogen is very volatile and flammable !
Notice how the Tickets Please soundtrack resembles Gilderoy Lockhart theme in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, same composer.
As a Canadian, I appreciate your "hi-bye" shout-out to Canada as the plane flew over Newfoundland! However, I feel compelled to point out that in 1938 it was still the Dominion of Newfoundland and wouldn't join the Canadian Confederation until 1949. My province of British Columbia was part of the Confederation at that time though, having joined in 1871... which I still fondly remember like it was yesterday.
New brunswick and Nova Scotia were already part of it 🙂
Hello Miss Verowak!😊 I think most people agree the overall plots of the remaining films are just not good. This is my favorite of all the Indiana Jones films. The first film is second, and the second film is third. The air ship they board is part of the same fleet as the Hindenburg, which had already crashed and burned in New Jersey. Great reactions to the third and best of the trilogy IMO, Miss Verowak!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh by the way, if your into gaming Vero, the brand new Indiana Jones game 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' releases today (on XBox, PS5 and PC) its included in gamepass on PC and XBox too. I suspect if you are into games you already knew but just in case you didnt! :D
It's a first person game so sadly I can't play it 😭
@@VerowakReacts the LEGO Indiana Jones games are really well done and follow the movies well, while adding their own humorous bits!
This film is contrived, cheesy, and a total blast! My favorite of the franchise. Connery was perfect, and Ford was his usual awesome as Indy. Great chemistry, great script, great adventure.
Saw this one in the cinema, was just a young boy, remember it vividly, was a wonderful experience 🙏
Besides some of the James Bond films, Sean Connery is also in The Hunt For Red October, First Knight and The Rock. Young Indy is played by River Phoenix, the late older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. The actors playing Walter Donovan and Adolf Hitler are both in The Empire Strikes Back
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is one of my favorite Sean Connery films. It's like an 1890s Avengers story. Sir McLennan was Peter Jackson's second choice for Gandalf, after Sir Connery. Notably Saruman was the Man With the Golden Gun.
My favorite of the entire series . 😊
No..the last two are really that bad. Especially the very last. I could not sit through it.
Great reaction, as always. Really enjoyed watching you along with my 500th time on the film. LOL
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Great reaction to my favorite Indy movie. Hope you have and are having a great Weekend. 😀😃😄😁😊
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have a great weekend too!!
'Look at the doggo...' remember that image, when his role is revealed.
Easily my favorite Indy movie. To be fair, I grew up watching Sean Connery James Bond, so I'm fairly biased.
I'll get to James Bond next year hopefully!
@VerowakReacts if you do, I'd recommend doing at least one of each Bond.
Connery is my favorite, but Moore, Dalton, Bronson, and Craig all bring something interesting to the table. You can probably skip Lazerby. I enjoy his movie, but I'm in the minority.
@@havok6280 Ideally I would watch all of them to see how they've changed or stayed similar lol
19:17 - LOL, I was just about to make a very similar comment and saw your caption on the video.
George Lucas' dog was also named Indiana 😀
This movie is just absolute joy. Loved your reaction too!
Has anyone mentioned that Indiana was actually the name of George Lucas's dog ? An Alaskan Malamute who was also the inspiration for Chewbacca !
We get to see Indiana The Dog, at 4:57. (Any chance that really is George Lucas' dog, making a cameo?)
There's so much about this one that I love, making it my favorite. I'm sure Sean Connery enjoyed getting to play a rather comedic role.
You should see Equilibrium and Butterfly effect
Equilibrium has been suggested a lot!! I'm up for Christian Bale and Sean Bean!
@@VerowakReacts Butterfly effect is an even better movie
25:05 British character actor Micheal Sheard, plays Adolf Hitler, but he was even more of a terrifying hate sink figure to we British kids as Mr Bronson, deputy headmaster of Grange Hill school. He put the fear of god into us.
another great reaction , well done.
Thank you!! 😊
"It can't be that bad... right...?" ahem, ahem, cof, cof, mm... well... ah.... (yes).
guy: *is a literal Nazi*
Vero: What a meanie!
They certainly could be rather unpleasant.
I really like this one. This one was my favorite, but including the original is my absolute favorite.
Great reaction like always. love this one for me this one is the best. A fun-fact Sir Sean Connery was only, like, 12 years older than Harrison Ford... playing his dad :P
The main reason Connery was cast as Indy's dad is because, as James Bond, Bond is the father of Indy. Not in canon, but Spielberg wanted to make a James Bond movie after Close Encounters. He couldn't because the rights belonged to the Broccoli family & EON productions. Spielberg's buddy, George Lucas, was like, "Hey, I have something better than Bond...Indiana Jones." Keep up the good work.
In the theater when I was young, when the knight said, "He chose...poorly" there was an eruption of laughter ah the summer of 89, lotsa good movies that year
They got the actor in the same (or similar) costume to do a Coke commercial. Someone chose an inferior cola product and the knight told them that they chose poorly. I can't remember if it came out *during* the theatrical run or immediately after it. Probably still around on RUclips somewhere.
@@librarianists That's awesome, I think I vaguely remember that commercial, such good times!
@@nicholasregan6526 I was curious, so I looked it up: it was for Diet Coke, and there are two versions. The original was probably around during the theatrical run, and the shorter 30 sec. version was timed with the VHS release.
In both cases, they just used clips of the knight, they didn't actually bring in the actor. Oh well, memory plays tricks on us all!
In the Disneyland Indiana Jones ride, there is an AT&T ad on one of the ceiling beams on the way out - Choose wisely.
