Harrison was supposed to have an extended sword fight with the baddie, but he was weak and very sick with dysentery and asked Spielburg, "Can't I just shoot him?" He loved the idea.
Harrison Ford was the first guy I had a movie crush on who was nearly my dad’s age. I was 11 when Star Wars came out, but when I found out HF was just three years younger than Dad, I was a bit skeeved out-he was so old! But I got over it quickly, especially when I soon developed crushes on Redford and even older classic Hollywood stars like Burt Lancaster (after seeing The Crimson Pirate).
@@kathyastrom1315 Another powerful role for Burt Lancaster, even if he was a bit older, was in Luchino Visconti's The Leopard. The younger male star in that movie was Alain Delon. Both Lancaster and Delon have great, if somewhat differing, screen charisma. And Claudia Cardinale and the rest of the cast are impressive, too, as is the setting.
The music is by John Williams, who did many iconic music scores, including those of Star Wars and also most of Steven Spielberg’s other movies. Speaking of Steven Spielberg and iconic music by John Williams, have you seen Jaws?
And honestly? It’s more authentic, right?! We didn’t know what was gonna happen or anything about Indiana Jones when we watched it in the theater. Why should u get to know?!😉
Well, before the internet etc. we would just go to the cinema & look at the posters & stills they may had with them & decided if we wanna go, I know a couple reactors who just look up the movie poster & draw information from that and I find that fair enough!
@@SubZeroCommander I agree with this... one of the reactors I follow does this as well.... reactors shouldn't read anything about the story itself, but it's nice when they know who directed, wrote and is acting in it before seeing it.... particularly because a lot of them don't pay attention to the opening credits.... I wouldn't consider this a spoiler.... and you get all that info from the poster
I mean it isn't like we all got to see trailers for these movies for months before they were even released. Nah, we all went to see these flicks with absolutely zero idea of who was in them, or directed them, or even what genre of movie it would be. Hell if we couldn't tell what the film was about just by title alone we just bought our tickets and went in hoping that movies like Airplane wasn't going to be a 2 hour doc on how 747 are built. Ahhh, those were the good ol days weren't they?
My Dad loves this movie, he grew up watching TV Westerns in the 50's and 60's so this was a whole new level for him. And my Mom [who's now in heaven] laughed so hard when Indy shot that dude, her face turned red. Her laugh made me laugh too.
Sallah is John Rhys Davies! Gimli! There was actually supposed to be an extended sword fight but Harrison Ford was feeling really bad from food poisoning. So he said “Why don’t I just shoot the guy?”
Harrison Fords prime was the 80’s through the 90’s. He made a lot of great, and memorable movies. He was really unique with imprinting his signature chamming rebel into every character he plays . The Fugitive is one you’ll probably like a lot
Thanks for the great reaction. As Steven Spielberg said about John Williams’ Genius. “I bringt the tears in the eyes of the audience- and John gets them out”
Another classic John Williams score! To this day he still does all his scores old school with pen and paper. His assistants then have to digitize them. His office is like a throwback to 50 years ago, not a computer in sight, just his desk and piano. Even his office telephone is a landline from the 70s.
He wouldn't have the money for peons if he wasn't among the best in the business. How many other film composers from the 70s are still in the game?@@Cheepchipsable
"Should I look up who made it?" Absolutely! Have you watched Jaws yet? An absolute cinema classic, many people's favourite Spielberg movie, you'd love it! :)
John Williams will go down as one of the greatest composers of the modern era. His music has become iconic, and everyone has heard at least one of his compositions.
You are going to LOVE "The Last Crusade" if you continue with Indiana Jones 😄 It's right up there with this movie ...actually how do you feel about rats.... better or worse than spiders?
Yo! Did u have a heads up about ANYTHING in the movie before u watched it?! No!😃 So don’t like…let her prepare herself for anything specific. She should b ready for the kinds of things Indy movies contain. Nuff said?😉
Btw, the next one, Temple of Doom, is a prequel. Takes place one year before this one. So you won’t see Marion And I would like to see reactions to the others
I wouldn’t consider that a spoiler, it’s just some context. The first time I saw it I actually missed out on it being a prequel, and I still see that it’s easy not to realize that.
Most of those apes just making stuff up trying to put word into my mouth. Looks like they don't need me at all and can have just as much fun arguing with themselves. It's like talking to people that can hear but never listen.
14:22 - Ronald Lacey, the actor who played Thot, completely changed his appearance in this movie for the character. He shaved his moustache, added the glasses, dyed is hair black and shaved the top part of head. He had a rich Welch accent that he changed to a snake-like hiss for the movie.
You have excellent taste in men. I saw Star Wars when i was seven (in the theatre), and when I saw Harrison Ford, I suddenly realized why men were on the planet. I was obsessed with him for decades.
John Williams, the composer, is a long-time collaborator with Spielberg; Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones (4 movies, three great, one good), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Lincoln, The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can, Hook, Amistad, War of the Worlds, Munich, The Adventures of Tintin, War Horse, The BFG, The Post. That's, of course, not mentioning other directors whose movies he scored; The Witches of Eastwick, Star Wars (all 9 of the three trilogies), Memoirs of a Geisha, Superman, Harry Potter 1-3, The Book Thief, JFK, Nixon, Sabrina, Home Alone, Born on the Fourth of July, The Accidental Tourist, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dracula (1979), The Fury, The Towering Inferno, the Olympic Games twice (they still use his themes) and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend a deep-dive into his scores. The Book Thief is quite serene, in JFK it helped in many ways to create the conspiracy thriller, Catch Me If You Can utilizes a classical saxophone, Schindler's List is so emotional and beautiful, and even when the movie isn't so great, you're bound to enjoy the music.
A friend of mine and I went to a movie and the trailers were playing when we sat down. Suddenly, we were surprised that people were cheering and clapping for one of the trailers. She noted that people haven’t seen the movie yet they were so excited for it. The movie trailer was Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Yes, pronounced with the hard 'k" sound is North American (that's how I pronounce it and I'm from the U.S.") where as the British pronounce it with the "sh" sound. I'm not positive, but I think Australians and New Zealanders also pronounce the same as North Americans. Australia and New Zealand are interesting, their pronunciations on a lot of words line up with British, but occasionally more so North American. Canadians and Americans are probably the closest, but every once in a while Canadians will pronounce a word more British. Such as pronouncing "process" as "PRO-cess" similar to British whereas as Americans pronounce it "Praw-cess." Still Canadian and American are very close, it's very difficult, sometimes impossible to tell the difference. Okay, done with the linguist tangent on the Indiana Jones reaction :). Great job on the reaction!
4:21 alright, we won't tell you Also, the U-Boot used in this was the same 11 meter model used for the open sea scenes in Das Boot, made by Bavaria Films
This is my all time top 10 movies... maybe top 3. I think I was 9 or 10 when it came out and I saw it in the theater with my brother. We went back and watched it multiple times. It was such a great movie on the big screen and John Williams score is just fantastic.
the two writers of the movie are George Lucas (star wars) and Steven Spielberg. They both wrote it on holiday in Hawaii on the opening weekend of Star Wars May 1977. Lucas was so nervous about the opening day, that he and his closest friend, Spielberg, took a trip to Hawaii that weekend to get away from everything. Lucas recommended Harrison Ford, fresh from Star Wars.
Because they couldn't get Tom Selleck. Lucas didn't want Harrison because he had worked with him on two films already, Spielberg saw Harrison in American Graffiti and wanted him.
@@MovieswithMary My spider story, Mary...In Utah, in the mountains one weekend I climbed down, then squeezed through a passage into a cave with some friends. It was beautiful...stalactites and stalagmites....suddenly...we all felt to scan the ceiling with our flashlights at the same time. Wall to wall Black Widow Spiders....sooo thick, there was not a bare spot on the ceiling. Pretty sure we chipped rock rushing out of the narrow entrance of that cave. It was my "Indy" moment.
@@Spthomas47 It's weird, I'm scared of spider, not enough to be a phobia, but I will freak out if there's one near or on me, and I love 8 Legged Freaks
My favourite movie. First saw it as a kid in summer 1981 at my local cinema with mum and dad and have adored it ever since. The ultimate adventure film.
When the cobra pops up in the crypt, if you look carefully you can see the plexiglass panel between it and Harrison Ford. It was a real snake and not an effect.
I'm in my 50s and saw this as a boy in a theater. It was perfect! It paid homage to movies of the 1930s-40s, which Spielberg and Lucas saw as boys (later, not when the movies were new. George and Steven aren't that old.). The guy who was going to fight Indy with the sword had practiced for weeks for a scene he understood to be much longer. Harrison wasn't feeling well, so he suggested the gunshot so he wouldn't have to get physical.
The end scene on the steps with Marion and Indy is actually in San Francisco’s City Hall. A few weeks ago, I went to Indy’s house here in Northern California, which is a short walk from the *only* Indiana Jones statue in the world!
So glad you are doing this trilogy... well, mainly 1 and 3! Before you watch the 3rd one, please read up on "Sean Connery" and maybe watch a couple of his James Bond trailers back in the 1960's... Knowing that he was the OG action hero will help you appreciate the humorous side of his character in the Last Crusade!
Saw this movie a couple years ago in a concert hall as a real orchestra played the score to the movie. They did such a good job that you forgot they were playing it live. It was pretty awesome.
I remember seeing this in the theater. We had to wait in a line around to the back of the theater to get in. The whole time my father complained about how ticket prices went up to $4.50 per person. I was only 12 at the time, and my grandmother went with us. She kept trying to cover my eyes during bloody, scary parts. :D
The soundtrack that you liked was thanks to the great John Williams, who composed pretty much every famous 1980s soundtrack (and more) that you wish to think of. Jaws, E.T., the original 1978 Superman theme, Star Wars, you name it he composed it. He is the the most Oscar-nominated living person (an incredible 52 nominations, with just 5 wins).
He just looks like the stereotypical Gestapo type you saw in old war films and things like Commando comics. Leather trenchcoat, round glasses, creepy smile.... :)
The big mechanic Indy fights is played by British actor Pat Roach who was in a popular 80's British TV series called Auf Wiedersehen Pet about Brits working in construction sites in Germany, but he also appears in the two other original Indy movies, see if you can spot him. :)
As you pointed out, John Williams' music is incredible in this movie. In fact, around this time - mid seventies through about the mid to late eighties - John Williams was at the top of his game, spitting out classic after classic. This is one of his best. His musical scores are attached to the some of the greatest movies of my generation: Jaws, Star Wars (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9!), all of the Indiana Jones films, Superman (one of my favorites), Close Encounters of the Third Kind and many more. He is THE MAN!
This is my favorite reaction of yours! I laughed so hard when you saw the spiders in the beginning. I couldn't wait for your reaction to the ending. I was not disappointed!
Saw this movie in the theater when I was 9. Many days during my career when I was in the middle of nowhere having "adventures" and being miserable, I had to remind myself that I was practically Indiana Jones and that 9 year old me would have been pretty amazed. Got me through a lot of rough days.
It was a great time to be a kid. I saw Star Wars in the theater, as well as this. There was a time when Lucas and Spielberg could do no wrong. Also, this was co-written with Lawrence Kasdan, who also co-wrote Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens. He was the director for Body Heat and The Big Chill. A great in his own right.
Mary, your reaction to the spiders is simply my favorite of all time. In fact I like it so much I keep revisiting this video just to watch you react. Thank you once again for making me laugh and making my day a better one
Regarding the pronounciation of "schedule": It is indeed the difference between british and american english. In british you pronounce it without a "k" sound.
Mary, John Williams composed the music and directed the London Symphony Orchestra for the sound track. You've likely heard his music before. He composed the music for some of the best movies. Here are just a few: Jaws (1975) ... Superman - The Movie (1978) ... The Empire Strikes Back (1980) ... Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) ... E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (1982) ... Jurassic Park (1993) ... Schindler's List (1994)
When Indy and Sullah are lifting the Ark out of the tomb, if you look in the background on the pillar to the left you'll briefly see two familiar characters as hieroglyphics: R2-D2 and C-3PO!
3:20 Mary going a bit Hannibal Lecter there! 😄 Another great reaction, and yes you should check out more Indiana Jones movies and more Spielberg ones 👍
I was over the moon when l saw you was reacting to this! It’s my second favourite franchise after Star Wars ☺️ Raiders is such a great movie and that perfect John Williams score just hits all the right notes exactly when it’s needed. I have seen the film more times than l can remember and the spider scene still gets me EVERY time 😳 Fantastic react/review and l hope you can see the rest of the films Mary☺️👍🏼👍🏼
1) Huge fan. You do great work. 2) About the music: John Williams is the greatest movie composer of all time and partners with Spielberg on most projects. He did the iconic music of Star Wars and Jaws and many others. Even though I am a huge Star Wars fan, I think Williams' work in the Indiana Jones Trilogy is perhaps the best of his career (particularly #3). Highly recommend watching the whole trilogy and ignoring #4.
The German soldier you said reminded you of Dax, just as Dax is played by a wrestler, was played by Pat Roach, a famous British wrestler. He also turns up in Temple of Doom.
6:40 The fat dude on the left (Mr. "Top..Men") was William Hootkins, the fat dude who blew up at the beginning of the Death Star attack in the New Hope.
Also, you should really try and see "Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation", or, failing that, the documentary "Raiders!". It´s the story of three young boys who became obsessed with the film and, after seeing it at the cinema dozens of times (pre-internet and even VHS), spent seven years faithfully recreating the entire film, shot by shot. They didn´t quite manage it, but what they achieved is nothing short of miraculous.
One of the greatest action adventure movies of all time It was hilarious how you did that slam cut to your Outro after the tarantulas scene at the beginning like you were going to peace-out of the rest of the reaction because of that scene😆
And btw, Sallah, the guy in Egypt with the white clothes telling Indy the ark wasn't to be disturbed... that actor plays Gimli in Lord of the Rings. John Ryhs-Davies
Yes. Yes, of course we would like to see your reaction to the other Indiana Jones movies. #3 is my favorite and an absolute classic. And I'm already looking forward to seeing your reaction to #2.
Spielberg, George Lucas, and John Williams, the power trio of cinema for the last 50 years. John Williams elevated numerous movies from good movies to iconic. A good reaction Mary this is a very well liked movie for a reason and you discovered why. For a future watch I'd suggest Mystic Pizza or Erin Brockovich.
Who knew there was so much action in being an archeologist? If you want to see more of Karen Allen then check out the classic comedy "Animal House". And if you haven't seen Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner" what are you waiting for?
Hey Marij. All Indy had to do was speak some parsel tongue and all his problems would be solved. His greatest fear would become an impressive strength.
Great reaction as always, I had to replay the spider bit a few times! Here´s a bit of trivia I haven´t seen below, although I didn´t scroll all the way to the bottom. When Spielberg was filming Jurassic Park, he, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum were stuck on an island due to extreme weather. Kathleen Kennedy, his producer, frantically called pilots to get them out of there, and none would take the risk. Eventually one agreed, and it turned out to be the guy who plays Pilot Jock at the beginning of Raiders!
Harrison was supposed to have an extended sword fight with the baddie, but he was weak and very sick with dysentery and asked Spielburg, "Can't I just shoot him?" He loved the idea.
It fits so well too! I loved that they did that :)
Never bring a knife to a gunfight.
This is probably the most well known piece of "trivia" ever
He said that he couldn’t move or he’d shit himself, if I recall correctly. But that really solidified Indiana’s character
Sometimes, something that seems terrible can lead to the best things ever. This is an example of that.
'This is not helping my Harrison Ford crush and I'm decades late...'
Fear not, you are not alone in that club. And we have cookies.
at least you can always go back and watch younger Ford but even in his later movies as he gets older he is just always yummy
@@marezesim8119 Go see how young he is in American Graffiti

Did you recognize the actor playing Sallah, Indy's good Arab friend and ally, is the same actor who played Gimli in Lord Of The Rings.
Also, the actor that played Sapito went on to play Dr. Octopus in Spider-Man 2.
Met John-Ryes Davis a couple times, great guy in real life
Didn't he play the House Atraides Mentat in the dune 2000 game also?
Did you recognize the actor playing Captain Katanga is the same actor who played Kingsley Shacklebolt in the Harry Potter movies?
When it first came out it was simply titled: "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
It still is. Some home video editions put "Indiana Jones and" on the cover artwork, but the on-screen title has always remained the same.
And “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope” was just “Star Wars”.
It still is, this nor Star Wars were planning on sequels.
The music is by John Williams, who did many iconic music scores, including those of Star Wars and also most of Steven Spielberg’s other movies.
Speaking of Steven Spielberg and iconic music by John Williams, have you seen Jaws?
Speaking of Steven Spielberg and John Williams... Have you watched Jurassic Park Mary?!

It was beautiful...stalactites and stalagmites....suddenly...we all felt to scan the ceiling with our flashlights at the same time. Wall to wall Black Widow Spiders....sooo thick, there was not a bare spot on the ceiling. Pretty sure we chipped rock rushing out of the narrow entrance of that cave. It was my "Indy" moment.
8 Legged Freaks perhaps?
@@Spthomas47 It's weird, I'm scared of spider, not enough to be a phobia, but I will freak out if there's one near or on me, and I love 8 Legged Freaks
John Williams did the score for the movie. He's an amazing composer
You really make me laugh. “Walk like an Egyptian”. So funny. I had a good time. Thanks.
You should definitely watch the other two in the original trilogy! Last Crusade just caps it all off so nicely it's impossible to not smile
That joke at 6:06 - is better than a lot of people realize . . . “Eye” love you. 😂
My favourite movie. First saw it as a kid in summer 1981 at my local cinema with mum and dad and have adored it ever since. The ultimate adventure film.
You're right, 'shedule' is british, 'skedule' American.
There are several words that do that between British and American English
When the cobra pops up in the crypt, if you look carefully you can see the plexiglass panel between it and Harrison Ford. It was a real snake and not an effect.
I'm in my 50s and saw this as a boy in a theater. It was perfect! It paid homage to movies of the 1930s-40s, which Spielberg and Lucas saw as boys (later, not when the movies were new. George and Steven aren't that old.).
The guy who was going to fight Indy with the sword had practiced for weeks for a scene he understood to be much longer. Harrison wasn't feeling well, so he suggested the gunshot so he wouldn't have to get physical.
The end scene on the steps with Marion and Indy is actually in San Francisco’s City Hall. A few weeks ago, I went to Indy’s house here in Northern California, which is a short walk from the *only* Indiana Jones statue in the world!
So glad you are doing this trilogy... well, mainly 1 and 3!
Before you watch the 3rd one, please read up on "Sean Connery" and maybe watch a couple of his James Bond trailers back in the 1960's... Knowing that he was the OG action hero will help you appreciate the humorous side of his character in the Last Crusade!
Saw this movie a couple years ago in a concert hall as a real orchestra played the score to the movie. They did such a good job that you forgot they were playing it live. It was pretty awesome.
I remember seeing this in the theater. We had to wait in a line around to the back of the theater to get in. The whole time my father complained about how ticket prices went up to $4.50 per person. I was only 12 at the time, and my grandmother went with us. She kept trying to cover my eyes during bloody, scary parts. :D
The soundtrack that you liked was thanks to the great John Williams, who composed pretty much every famous 1980s soundtrack (and more) that you wish to think of. Jaws, E.T., the original 1978 Superman theme, Star Wars, you name it he composed it. He is the the most Oscar-nominated living person (an incredible 52 nominations, with just 5 wins).
Indies friend with the beard who helps him, is Ghimli the dwarf from LORD OF THE RINGS
This was made all the funnier because the guy playing the dwarf was hands-down the tallest member of the cast.
You: "What is it about his face that make him so creepy?"
Me: "Just wait and see kid, just wait and see!" 😂😂😂
He just looks like the stereotypical Gestapo type you saw in old war films and things like Commando comics. Leather trenchcoat, round glasses, creepy smile.... :)
The big mechanic Indy fights is played by British actor Pat Roach who was in a popular 80's British TV series called Auf Wiedersehen Pet about Brits working in construction sites in Germany, but he also appears in the two other original Indy movies, see if you can spot him. :)
As you pointed out, John Williams' music is incredible in this movie. In fact, around this time - mid seventies through about the mid to late eighties - John Williams was at the top of his game, spitting out classic after classic. This is one of his best. His musical scores are attached to the some of the greatest movies of my generation: Jaws, Star Wars (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9!), all of the Indiana Jones films, Superman (one of my favorites), Close Encounters of the Third Kind and many more. He is THE MAN!
This is my favorite reaction of yours! I laughed so hard when you saw the spiders in the beginning. I couldn't wait for your reaction to the ending. I was not disappointed!
Saw this movie in the theater when I was 9.
Many days during my career when I was in the middle of nowhere having "adventures" and being miserable, I had to remind myself that I was practically Indiana Jones and that 9 year old me would have been pretty amazed. Got me through a lot of rough days.
It was a great time to be a kid. I saw Star Wars in the theater, as well as this. There was a time when Lucas and Spielberg could do no wrong. Also, this was co-written with Lawrence Kasdan, who also co-wrote Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens. He was the director for Body Heat and The Big Chill. A great in his own right.
Nice to see you enjoy films for the first time that some of your viewers (self included) saw when they came out. Thank you for this reaction.
My Theater Arts teacher in High School dated Harrison Ford when they were in college.
Mary, your reaction to the spiders is simply my favorite of all time. In fact I like it so much I keep revisiting this video just to watch you react. Thank you once again for making me laugh and making my day a better one
Regarding the pronounciation of "schedule":
It is indeed the difference between british and american english. In british you pronounce it without a "k" sound.
That blond soldier on the truck was one though mother; he shouted after the truck ran over him!
Mary, John Williams composed the music and directed the London Symphony Orchestra for the sound track. You've likely heard his music before. He composed the music for some of the best movies. Here are just a few:
Jaws (1975) ...
Superman - The Movie (1978) ...
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) ...
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) ...
E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (1982) ...
Jurassic Park (1993) ...
Schindler's List (1994)
Sallah played by John Rhys-Davis aka Gimli !
Definitely watch all of em Mary. Even the fourth one 😉
When Indy and Sullah are lifting the Ark out of the tomb, if you look in the background on the pillar to the left you'll briefly see two familiar characters as hieroglyphics: R2-D2 and C-3PO!
One of my top 5 movies. Along with The Empire Strikes Back and Blade Runner.
Harrison Ford really got the best roles in those years.
3:20 Mary going a bit Hannibal Lecter there! 😄
Another great reaction, and yes you should check out more Indiana Jones movies and more Spielberg ones 👍
Another great reaction! Thanks for letting us all share Mary :)
I was over the moon when l saw you was reacting to this! It’s my second favourite franchise after Star Wars ☺️ Raiders is such a great movie and that perfect John Williams score just hits all the right notes exactly when it’s needed. I have seen the film more times than l can remember and the spider scene still gets me EVERY time 😳 Fantastic react/review and l hope you can see the rest of the films Mary☺️👍🏼👍🏼
Part of me really wishes they DID open the Ark in Berlin, in front of the Fuerher.
1) Huge fan. You do great work. 2) About the music: John Williams is the greatest movie composer of all time and partners with Spielberg on most projects. He did the iconic music of Star Wars and Jaws and many others. Even though I am a huge Star Wars fan, I think Williams' work in the Indiana Jones Trilogy is perhaps the best of his career (particularly #3). Highly recommend watching the whole trilogy and ignoring #4.
Didn't she recognize Gimli son of Gloin!! Also, MUST WATCH "THE MUMMY" (Brendan Fraser version)
I didn’t :( shame!
@@MovieswithMary John Ryhs Davies who plays Sallah played Gimli son of Gloin from the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.
The German soldier you said reminded you of Dax, just as Dax is played by a wrestler, was played by Pat Roach, a famous British wrestler. He also turns up in Temple of Doom.
Another fun fact, Sallah is also Gimili in The Lord of the Rings :)
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" won Oscars for the sound track, sound editing, and sound effects.
6:40 The fat dude on the left (Mr. "Top..Men") was William Hootkins, the fat dude who blew up at the beginning of the Death Star attack in the New Hope.
The Indiana Jones film score by John Williams is iconic.
Also, you should really try and see "Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation", or, failing that, the documentary "Raiders!". It´s the story of three young boys who became obsessed with the film and, after seeing it at the cinema dozens of times (pre-internet and even VHS), spent seven years faithfully recreating the entire film, shot by shot. They didn´t quite manage it, but what they achieved is nothing short of miraculous.
"Oohhh--spiders!" And...cue Forrestal's garrotted corpse!
One of the greatest action adventure movies of all time
It was hilarious how you did that slam cut to your Outro after the tarantulas scene at the beginning like you were going to peace-out of the rest of the reaction because of that scene😆
Yes, I would like to see the rest of this series on this channel. I think you will really like all of them.
Schedule with the K sound is the American way, and schedule with the SH sound is the British way.
And btw, Sallah, the guy in Egypt with the white clothes telling Indy the ark wasn't to be disturbed... that actor plays Gimli in Lord of the Rings. John Ryhs-Davies
Yes. Yes, of course we would like to see your reaction to the other Indiana Jones movies. #3 is my favorite and an absolute classic. And I'm already looking forward to seeing your reaction to #2.
Spielberg, George Lucas, and John Williams, the power trio of cinema for the last 50 years. John Williams elevated numerous movies from good movies to iconic. A good reaction Mary this is a very well liked movie for a reason and you discovered why.
For a future watch I'd suggest Mystic Pizza or Erin Brockovich.
love this film, it stayed in the theatres 🎥 here for more than 70 weeks. imagine a movie showing for more than year now?
The best and greatest adventure film of all time.🤠😺
John Williams is the reigning Lord of movie scores. His soundtracks define a whole era of American movies.
Who knew there was so much action in being an archeologist? If you want to see more of Karen Allen then check out the classic comedy "Animal House". And if you haven't seen Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner" what are you waiting for?
Hey Marij. All Indy had to do was speak some parsel tongue and all his problems would be solved. His greatest fear would become an impressive strength.
Great reaction as always, I had to replay the spider bit a few times! Here´s a bit of trivia I haven´t seen below, although I didn´t scroll all the way to the bottom. When Spielberg was filming Jurassic Park, he, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum were stuck on an island due to extreme weather. Kathleen Kennedy, his producer, frantically called pilots to get them out of there, and none would take the risk. Eventually one agreed, and it turned out to be the guy who plays Pilot Jock at the beginning of Raiders!
The actor who plays Salah also plays Gimli and Treebeard in LOTR
Yeah the music for this is iconic, and apparently, very heavily copyright protected.
