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.

@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
One "faux pas" in this movie happens right away on the train. When Indy enters the caboose to try and get away, he checks the back door which he finds to be locked. So, he hides in the box. When the box collapses, showing that Indy is not there, the man in the hat runs to the back door and is immediately able to open it, seeing Indy running down the tracks.
"Ridiculous , that's what this movie is I love it". That perfectly describes the genius of these movies, they include every classic movie troupe, bad guy stereotype and romantic ideal but somehow allow you to just accept it and enjoy the ride.
This movie is a total delight. Like she says after watching it, your face ends up hurting from smiling throughout the whole thing. What a blast I had the last time I saw it, which was a few months ago at the cinema (they screened the original trilogy).
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.
When I first saw this, I was confused why he's nicnamed "Indiana" Jones if he's from Utah. The reveal at the end that he was named after his dog is hilarious. 😂
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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
For me it is the opposite. The fourth is a desaster and the newest one was pretty okay. But I guess it also comes from different expectations. Before the fourth I expected greatness and got an awful movie. Before the fifth I expected nothing and had a good time.
@@gravedigger8414 yeah, I feel the same way. It's different when you have low expectations and it ends up being ok than if you have high expectations and the movie ends up just being ok (even if they're objectively about the same quality as each other).

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!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The late 80s cheesiness is strong in this movie, but it’s still good. The thing that really makes me roll my eyes is, if Indy had just waited for a minute longer, all the Germans would have floated away, and he would have made a clean getaway on the motorcycle. PS: The old knight was saying: “Hey, thanks for stopping by, trashing my temple.. nah, no need to help clean up. I have plenty of time on my hands.”
I have to admit the boat thing is the one part that grates my nerves. They could have let them boat away but still have some straggler German soldiers chase them on motorcycles. It just made zero sense.
The next two are better than temple of doom, that's for sure. You are 100% correct on the nostalgia. It's really pathetic how much hate people fling towards new movies just because they saw similar ones when they were kids. Willy was far from the only criticism of temple of doom, though being such a ridiculously sexist cliche after the awesomeness of Marion is certainly a major problem. Completely shitting on every aspect of Indian culture and religion was the bigger problem.
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.
There was no need for any more movies in this franchise after this imo. Last Crusade had a perfect ending for the saga with the four of them riding off into the sunset together. Sometimes stories need to just be left alone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Also, when Elsa was kissing Indy, his look was like "when I way younger women kissed me..." Another nod to James Bond. ^^
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.
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. 😂
This is widely regarded as the best of the franchise
It has been to me anyway! The story, cast, special effects... stunt work is all perfection. 😊
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.

They said he was a better actor than his brother at the time.
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.

The next two are better than temple of doom, that's for sure. You are 100% correct on the nostalgia. It's really pathetic how much hate people fling towards new movies just because they saw similar ones when they were kids.
Willy was far from the only criticism of temple of doom, though being such a ridiculously sexist cliche after the awesomeness of Marion is certainly a major problem. Completely shitting on every aspect of Indian culture and religion was the bigger problem.
My favorite of the entire series . 😊
No..the last two are really that bad. Especially the very last. I could not sit through it.
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.
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.
Great reaction Veronique, this is my favorite movie out of all of them. 😉👌
There was no need for any more movies in this franchise after this imo. Last Crusade had a perfect ending for the saga with the four of them riding off into the sunset together. Sometimes stories need to just be left alone.
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.
Favourite quote from the film - 'Goose stepping morons should try reading books instead of burning them'
"Indiana" is Indiana Jones's "Rosebud".
Great reaction.
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
"It can't be that bad... right...?" ahem, ahem, cof, cof, mm... well... ah.... (yes).
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
What a wonderful close to the trilogy. The music is outstanding. The relationship between all the guys is so cool. Perfect formed film
Temple of Doom was criticised as being darker and less fun than Raiders of the Lost Ark.
'Look at the doggo...' remember that image, when his role is revealed.
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.
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.
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.
This is still my favorite trilogy. All three Indiana Jones movies are perfection.
DON'T CALL ME JUNIOR!!!
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.
another great reaction , well done.
Thank you!! 😊
