I live in a world where all of my favourite childhood franchises have been destroyed. Literally, every single one. And the really crazy thing about that? My childhood wasn't all that long ago. It took Them a crazy short time to pull this off.
I just wrote a similar thing. For example, Star Wars was fucking amazing in the early 2000 and then they sold to Disney and in the span of 10 years they destroyed EVERYTHING, not only the meh prequels: books aren't canon anymore (and holy shit some of them are good), videogames are just worse gameplay wise, like how Battlefront 2 (2005) is still the best sw themed shooter, KOTOR as a setting just doesn't exist anymore because...? A satisfying continuation to the OT? Yeah, there were like 12 books and a couple videogames about it, not canon anymore. Now you get the continuation in wich everyone is retarded, especially Luke.

There's also a decent TV show of Indy. Haven't watched it in probably a decade, but I remember it being pretty decent. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Worth a watch, and introduces some of his descendants whom he's telling his stories to as a 93 year old.
The systematic destruction of all the positive male role models is an attack on men and the good cinema we enjoyed. Indiana Jones is just the latest in the targets that the ESG cult has been successful in annihilating.
There's a game I played recently called Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, and the story a man named Rex has not only lost his wives and two of his children, having only unknowingly reunited with his daughter, but also his entire world after both he and Shulk's worlds fuse together. But guess what, he's not this disheveled, hollow shell of his former self, but instead a wiser, more battled hardened, yet optimistic character that always strives to keep those around him happy and positive, which is exactly what his character was in his own game.

Also, something that's always been kind of funny about the Indiana Jones franchise is Indie's continued doubtfulness of the paranormal, especially in The Last Crusade. The order of films goes The Temple of Doom, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Last Crusade, but what's kind of humorous to me is that in Temple of Doom he witnessed a man's heart being pulled from their chest, still beating and the man still remaining alive well after the fact before he's sacrificed. Not to mention how he mentioned Shiva when he and the villain were fighting on the collapsed bridge, and somehow, he started chanting, which caused the stones to burn their way out of the bag. But when Raiders comes around, he fully doubts that there's such a thing as God's wrath within the box, even though he's seen even weirder stuff in the past. And then there's Crusade, where he doubts the holy grail is real at the start, but then believes in it towards the end. It's like, my brother in Christ, there's being skeptical, then there's just being flat out ignorant. XD This isn't a dig at the franchise, I still love the first three, and enjoy Crystal Skull, though more as popcorn entertainment. It's just something funny I noticed when rewatching these movies.
I always liked to image that it's just things he doesn't quite understand as being beyond his field of study... but then again by the end of the Lost Ark Indy saves himself and Marion because he takes the curse of the the ark seriously and then witnesses the power of God. Only for the Last Crusade to doubt if the grail exists, like my guy you literally saw the Ark of the Covenant and somehow the Holy Grail can't exist? It's a small dig but overall doesn't hurt the movie but just makes it funnier in hindsight
@@legoeasycompany Yeah. It's not a big deal, just a bit weird that he's still in denial about this stuff even though he's had firsthand experience with it. As for how he knew to avert his gaze at the end of Raiders, there's been an interesting theory that either when he and his partner first found the ark, or during the ride over to the ritual sight at the end, the Ark itself spoke to him or implanted the solution inside his mind, telling him not to look at it once it had been opened. It's not confirmed and could easily be a mistake made after a simple rewrite, but it's an interesting thought.

They will see that one bald vampire that dies at least twice in the movie but later is walking down the street with the other vampires it floors me lol 😂
I’m so glad I skipped this movie. It sounds horrific. The only good thing about this movie is that it made people realize that Temple of Doom is awesome.
This should have been "Indie teams up with Mutt and Shortround. And Mutt and Shortround are the rivaling kids that will become friends along the way and become old allies in the same why Indie is with all his "old friends"
Indy fans went through exactly the same arc that Star Wars fans did: Original trilogy- "perfection" Prequel trilogy (also Crystal Skull)- "This is disgusting! I feel insulted, and my childhood has been ruined!" Post-Disney sequel trilogy (and Dial)- "...okay, maybe those other movies weren't so bad. I didn't realize, until now, how bad it could be."
@@ASpooneyBard I never went through some "arc". I always liked the 4th film. Anything George created and worked on. I'm not some stupid flip flopper and apologist like most people. My first starwars film was ep1 and grew up loving GLs films. Since 2012 when GL sold to the devil mouse is when starwars died for me All those morons who thought disney saved starwars when they acquired the rights are fools.
So serious question do we have any 80's male hero left who hasn't been turned into the grumpy old man in a pointless sequel that legit no-one asked for? I was about to suggest Axel Foley but than I realised that four is reportedly coming out soon... fcking hell leave my male hero's alone. You know it's going to awfully written and if it isn't than we legit have a miracle on own hand. Sure it can work to have a more jaded older man but only if you don't just shit all over his past or him. Also don't have characters pointing and laughing at him but instead realising how much of a badass he is. No-one wants to see their hero reduced to just a man who is depressed. Could we have at least one happily married older couple? Honestly it might just be projection by Hollywood at this point, I'm sorry your marriages don't mostly end in happiness but for the rest of the world we're doing pretty alright in staying in happy healthy relationships until we die.
Blade Runner? I dont even remember if he was grumpy because I dont remember anything about the second movie except that is mostly looked nice. Also Robocop. Although he was arguably "grumpy" from the get go
@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese Blade Runner at least completely justifies why the detective protag ended up old and kinda grumpy in a sequel. By the end, he found out his whole life was a lie and had to flee society unless he wanted to be killed or enslaved, and the setting is a nigh apocalyptic urbanized hell. I'd be just as sour from all that.
I mean this is a film where they can't even get the back end of a plane right. The bomber they go back in time with *never* had an H tail configuration. The entire thing was a shambles.
A painful memory, but a poignant reminder. Also just saw this one posted while I was watching EFAP 140, and an amazing shorter clip may be from 5:30-5:40 - "Imagine 4 balls..." I was laughing so ridiculously hard every time Mauler said "I can read it out again"
"We will make all the old male characters sad, depressed, miserable and undo all their achievements" "How will that help us sell tickets?" "sell... tickets?"
I mean, for years now, they didn't need to sell tickets. So long as whatever they did was DEI compliant, certain investment firms were happy to throw billions of dollars at them, which made up for whatever revenue they squandered at the box office. Because in modern capitalism, short-term gains like that outweigh the long-term losses, especially when the CEOs and other top brass can just parachute over to other companies without facing any repercussions.
After every failure and all damage they've caused in the last decade, I actually wonder, if there would be visible difference, if they'd do this on purpose. The philosophical debate between entropy and malevolence.
Of course it was on purpose, it is called cultural marxism. Too bad that these talking heads insist on defending Disney by falsely claiming their malevolence as "incompetency".
"Hey, how do we force drama when Indy ended the last film with being married, having a son and a successful career?" "Take all of it away. We gotta cheat people so they'll think we achieved something character-wise."
To be fair it didn’t get that far but it was going to be that originally. Volley was meant to get back to the past and try to kill hitter with Indy rescuing him
I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat on for a moment. In the starting sequence, the scientist smart guy gets knocked off the train and it's accompanied by a sound that would clearly indicate that the hit was fatal. Fast forward all these decades and the scientist looks normal (no disfigurements, even looks very young for his supposed age - he should be just as old as Indy) and he doesn't remember Indy (the one guy that ruined his OG plan during WWII. What if before reshoots the story went like this: We're introduced to the flashback, Indie fights the bad guys but after he's captured and faced with the scientist bad guy we fast forward to the future. In the future Indy meets the scientist again, but the scientist doesn't remember Indy. After the usual shenanigans, Indy discovers that the scientist he met on the train all these years ago was from the future. Equipped with this knowledge, he manages to be there when the time travel happens and we go back to WWII to captured Indy, but this time old Indy is there to "help himself". No Archimedes shenanigans.
6:50 "You don't have to do this!" Sounds like something you say to a person wearing a bomb-vest. Doesn't that just sum up the whole movie from its conception though?
Joseph Campbell once mentioned that the sunset years add new things to a soul. "There's good stuff here." He said. The film ought to have been called "Raiders of the (McGuffin du jour)", wherein old Indy could have been an enlightened mentor figure for the scrubs.
I loved Lucasfilms. Disney destroyed everything Lucasfilm with such despite for it that I have been boicotting for a while. The last 10 years have been almost heartbreaking for my childhood, luckily I am an adult now, which is more than most of the staff at Lucasfilms can say.
If they made Indy more like his father in the last Crusade. I always saw that as how Indy would eventually be as an old man. A serious and stern scholar of history and religion. And whenever he does something resourceful and violent, he’d be whimsical about it. Remember the birds/umbrella scene? Indy embraced the pen is mightier than the sword sentiment yet he would get down and dirty when it gets down to it
All I know for certain, is that back at the time that the golden age of Hollywood was coming to an end, the reason for this, was primarily the fact that Hollywood budgets had ballooned to excessive amounts, to the point where even the executives knew that a lot of their major projects could never recover their budgets, even if they became cultural milestones. After this, Hollywood basically imploded on itself, the house of cards they’d constructed had finally collapsed under its own weight, and it force Hollywood to either bring in actually talented people with creative visions and have them work on much smaller budgets, or face complete financial ruin. This era of Hollywood is where we got all of our modern day brilliant directors, our Spielberg’s, our Scorsese’s, etc. The industry was on fire, and it left them with no choice but to hand over a micro budget to people with passion, and pray they made something that made a profit, and it revitalized the industry, and created the silver age of Hollywood from the 60s to 90s. But now those people that drove the revival of Hollywood are beginning to retire, and the people who got in because they were directly inspired by that first wave of directors aren’t far behind, leaving only people who either want to vaguely ape the styles of the first and second wave (JJ Abbrams), or hack frauds with no talent or passion. But for some reason, the crash that the industry desperately needs to have happen in order to prevent a full on cataclysmic implosion, is not being allowed to happen. Probably because one company owns 70% of the market, and is too stubborn to admit that it needs to change its ways, which will inevitably cause the entire industry to be annihilated, if they can’t get major unethical corporate bailout from the government, or finally just change what they’re doing.
It's like those artists that had never seen a cat and ended up painting a cat-man monstrosity, then refusing to admit that it doesn't look like a cat even when one is being held up right next to the painting
I love how they try and look for some kind of meaning in the end of the movie. Guys... Indy was supposed to die. Not only die, he was supposed to be character-assassinated, _then_ erased from existence and replaced by Thundercunt. It's useless to look for meaning in a thrown-together band-aid of an ending they were forced to make because everyone hated the original ending/movie so much. The meaning the original ending (along with the rest of the first version of the movie) was going for was "Yay women! Boo men! Time for men to step aside _universally!_ (Ya know, except for garbage collection or bricklaying or plumbing or anything else that we don't want to do.) The Indy is female!" One thing I'll say for that version that we never got to see; it wouldn't have been the least bit difficult to discern what the movie was trying to tell us.
the original video is in the description. just look at the date when it was posted. episodes usually get posted on youtube as videos a couple of days after they're streamed
They were fooling themselves if they thought a movie with an 80 year old lead would justify a $300 million budget. Gen Z hasn’t seen ANY of these movies. Older people are coming off the last one that was divisive at best. Who was this made for?
Im listening to this after learning George Lucas is backing Iger in the proxy war. And im glad he is. Ill get to see Disney implode in the next 5 years.
In Last Crusade Connery was 58 and Ford was 46. Connery was not only sexual active, he was getting girls pregnant at twelve. When I heard Harrison Ford was 34 when Star Wars finished, I said, "Good Lord! He must be a million years old!". Jeepers, Ford in the Diarrhea of Destiny, was 21 years older than Connery in the Last Crusade. Someone's gotta do something about this people getting older problem
Wrong. Crystal Skull IS the canonical ending. In the chronologically first movie, Temple of Doom, Indy gets a taste of having a family (love interest + boy), in Raiders he rekindles his old relationship with Marion, in Last Crusade he has an adventure with his long lost father & reconciles with him. Crystal Skull brings all these things together, albeit with Indy in the father role. It's the ultimate fulfillment of the previous movies. And Indy truly has a happy ending: gets married & has a son to carry on his legacy.
SW prequels had similar problem as e.g. Hobbit movies did. Many action scenes are boringly long and I have no idea why so called experienced directors do such obvious mistakes like that. I e.g. remember watching Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in theaters and Obi Wan and Anakin were fighting and I looked watch at one point during the duel that how long is this gonna last. Same with many other fights. Then first 3 Indiana Jones movies everything was pretty much perfect. Occasional not too long fighting scenes to spice things up.
Damn Disney wanted to ruin everything made by LucasFilms, even franchises that were already ruined, but hey if theres something i learned from them is that you can always ruin something more to infinity! XD
when Lucasfilm goes to 0. Ill buy the company and write how Mutt (Played by Chris Pratt) faked his death to help short round find treasure in china and wear the indy outfit.
I'm a bit confused: why is this film still being discussed? It was arguably the worst thing to come out in the worst year of cinema, and doesn't deserve a single second of extra attention. It should be spat on and kicked into the basement of obscurity, only to be used as a warning to others who might think to follow in it's footsteps. Or is this a reupload from last year?
It's a focused excerpt with, I believe, light editing from the 5 hour video on the main EFAP channel from last summer so I guess it depends on what you consider a reup.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a fantastic stand alone film. I'll accept Last Crusade as a great conclusion to the first trilogy but the series begins and ends with Raiders when the Ark is wheeled into that warehouse and the credits start rolling. Everything else is fan fiction.
Aside from how crazy the idea of traveling back through time was interesting, it's been 2 hours and 30 minutes and you cant do that. You peaked at the last frame and spent all this time just boring the people and now you do something remarkably interesting?? BAD idea.
Gotta give it to Disney. It’s remarkable how they managed to utterly annihilate every single LucasFilm property. Not even Willow survived.
It's a Chinese psyop
Hi Man
Even their own ips, they really handed the reins of a billion dollar cash cow to the towns mentally deficient butcher.

@@jacobsantana915 she definitely wasnt, i think there was only one or two scenes where she was a little condescending, but considering that she has infinite power i can understand that
The only good thing about this film is the first 20 minutes. Feels like a serial tv episode of Indiana Jones and all the technology used to de age Harrison Ford almost to near perfection.
Next up remake of 101 Dalmations where doggies die and Cruella gets a sweet redemption arc.
Begging the efap gods to do an efap movie on 30 days of night
I would love to see them do Mystery Men
Good flic
30 Days of Night is too decent of a movie for them to EFAP
That's not fair to say, they review good movies all the time.@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese
They will see that one bald vampire that dies at least twice in the movie but later is walking down the street with the other vampires it floors me lol 😂
There's an irony that a film with access to at least over two actual old men still doesn’t know how to write them.
I’m so glad I skipped this movie. It sounds horrific. The only good thing about this movie is that it made people realize that Temple of Doom is awesome.
He's now mindy anna moans
Disney's Up is a better Indiana Jones movie dealing with loss, old age, and rediscovering passion.
This should have been "Indie teams up with Mutt and Shortround. And Mutt and Shortround are the rivaling kids that will become friends along the way and become old allies in the same why Indie is with all his "old friends"
Be Indy's dad. Don't be Indy.
The 4th film is canon and gives Indy the happy ending he deserved! There is no 5th!!
Indy fans went through exactly the same arc that Star Wars fans did:
Original trilogy- "perfection"
Prequel trilogy (also Crystal Skull)- "This is disgusting! I feel insulted, and my childhood has been ruined!"
Post-Disney sequel trilogy (and Dial)- "...okay, maybe those other movies weren't so bad. I didn't realize, until now, how bad it could be."
Yeah Crystal Skull has been somewhat redeemed by ... this...
It's still crap, but at least it's heart is in the right place.
@@ASpooneyBard I never went through some "arc". I always liked the 4th film. Anything George created and worked on. I'm not some stupid flip flopper and apologist like most people. My first starwars film was ep1 and grew up loving GLs films. Since 2012 when GL sold to the devil mouse is when starwars died for me
All those morons who thought disney saved starwars when they acquired the rights are fools.
Theres a core structure of 4 that works though. So I can look past the silly parts and there is at least something to appreciate.
So serious question do we have any 80's male hero left who hasn't been turned into the grumpy old man in a pointless sequel that legit no-one asked for? I was about to suggest Axel Foley but than I realised that four is reportedly coming out soon... fcking hell leave my male hero's alone. You know it's going to awfully written and if it isn't than we legit have a miracle on own hand.
Sure it can work to have a more jaded older man but only if you don't just shit all over his past or him. Also don't have characters pointing and laughing at him but instead realising how much of a badass he is. No-one wants to see their hero reduced to just a man who is depressed. Could we have at least one happily married older couple? Honestly it might just be projection by Hollywood at this point, I'm sorry your marriages don't mostly end in happiness but for the rest of the world we're doing pretty alright in staying in happy healthy relationships until we die.
Uhhhh Top Gun Maverick. That's about it.
Blade Runner? I dont even remember if he was grumpy because I dont remember anything about the second movie except that is mostly looked nice.
Also Robocop. Although he was arguably "grumpy" from the get go
@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese Blade Runner at least completely justifies why the detective protag ended up old and kinda grumpy in a sequel. By the end, he found out his whole life was a lie and had to flee society unless he wanted to be killed or enslaved, and the setting is a nigh apocalyptic urbanized hell. I'd be just as sour from all that.
I mean this is a film where they can't even get the back end of a plane right. The bomber they go back in time with *never* had an H tail configuration. The entire thing was a shambles.
A painful memory, but a poignant reminder.
Also just saw this one posted while I was watching EFAP 140, and an amazing shorter clip may be from 5:30-5:40 - "Imagine 4 balls..." I was laughing so ridiculously hard every time Mauler said "I can read it out again"
"We will make all the old male characters sad, depressed, miserable and undo all their achievements"
"How will that help us sell tickets?"
"sell... tickets?"
I mean, for years now, they didn't need to sell tickets. So long as whatever they did was DEI compliant, certain investment firms were happy to throw billions of dollars at them, which made up for whatever revenue they squandered at the box office. Because in modern capitalism, short-term gains like that outweigh the long-term losses, especially when the CEOs and other top brass can just parachute over to other companies without facing any repercussions.
After every failure and all damage they've caused in the last decade, I actually wonder, if there would be visible difference, if they'd do this on purpose.
The philosophical debate between entropy and malevolence.
Of course it was on purpose, it is called cultural marxism. Too bad that these talking heads insist on defending Disney by falsely claiming their malevolence as "incompetency".
The one word for that film is Ignominious.
b-but YMS say is because he is old!
"Hey, how do we force drama when Indy ended the last film with being married, having a son and a successful career?"
"Take all of it away. We gotta cheat people so they'll think we achieved something character-wise."
Indy saves Hitler: The movie.
Absolute.
Madness.
To be fair it didn’t get that far but it was going to be that originally. Volley was meant to get back to the past and try to kill hitter with Indy rescuing him
You should do”I was hacked”
You want to see how bad things have gotten? Watch the 2023 White Men Can't Jump remake after watching the original.
I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat on for a moment. In the starting sequence, the scientist smart guy gets knocked off the train and it's accompanied by a sound that would clearly indicate that the hit was fatal. Fast forward all these decades and the scientist looks normal (no disfigurements, even looks very young for his supposed age - he should be just as old as Indy) and he doesn't remember Indy (the one guy that ruined his OG plan during WWII. What if before reshoots the story went like this:
We're introduced to the flashback, Indie fights the bad guys but after he's captured and faced with the scientist bad guy we fast forward to the future. In the future Indy meets the scientist again, but the scientist doesn't remember Indy. After the usual shenanigans, Indy discovers that the scientist he met on the train all these years ago was from the future. Equipped with this knowledge, he manages to be there when the time travel happens and we go back to WWII to captured Indy, but this time old Indy is there to "help himself". No Archimedes shenanigans.
Little Platoon being one of the usual suspects for guests was a great idea.
6:50 "You don't have to do this!" Sounds like something you say to a person wearing a bomb-vest. Doesn't that just sum up the whole movie from its conception though?
Joseph Campbell once mentioned that the sunset years add new things to a soul. "There's good stuff here." He said.
The film ought to have been called "Raiders of the (McGuffin du jour)", wherein old Indy could have been an enlightened mentor figure for the scrubs.
Joanie British and the Mole of Density
Wasn’t old man Henry Jones Sr. shtupping the Elsa character before he was captured by the Nazi’s? HF got ROBBED.😆
I loved Lucasfilms. Disney destroyed everything Lucasfilm with such despite for it that I have been boicotting for a while. The last 10 years have been almost heartbreaking for my childhood, luckily I am an adult now, which is more than most of the staff at Lucasfilms can say.
So glad I didn't kill my brain cells watching this drivel.
This whole goddamn stream just hallucinated an Indy movie.
But according to Chris suckmann, Indiana Jones dial of destiny is awesome
If they made Indy more like his father in the last Crusade. I always saw that as how Indy would eventually be as an old man. A serious and stern scholar of history and religion. And whenever he does something resourceful and violent, he’d be whimsical about it. Remember the birds/umbrella scene? Indy embraced the pen is mightier than the sword sentiment yet he would get down and dirty when it gets down to it
Disney in a nutshell: DADDY ISSUES!!!
All I know for certain, is that back at the time that the golden age of Hollywood was coming to an end, the reason for this, was primarily the fact that Hollywood budgets had ballooned to excessive amounts, to the point where even the executives knew that a lot of their major projects could never recover their budgets, even if they became cultural milestones. After this, Hollywood basically imploded on itself, the house of cards they’d constructed had finally collapsed under its own weight, and it force Hollywood to either bring in actually talented people with creative visions and have them work on much smaller budgets, or face complete financial ruin.
This era of Hollywood is where we got all of our modern day brilliant directors, our Spielberg’s, our Scorsese’s, etc.
The industry was on fire, and it left them with no choice but to hand over a micro budget to people with passion, and pray they made something that made a profit, and it revitalized the industry, and created the silver age of Hollywood from the 60s to 90s.
But now those people that drove the revival of Hollywood are beginning to retire, and the people who got in because they were directly inspired by that first wave of directors aren’t far behind, leaving only people who either want to vaguely ape the styles of the first and second wave (JJ Abbrams), or hack frauds with no talent or passion.
But for some reason, the crash that the industry desperately needs to have happen in order to prevent a full on cataclysmic implosion, is not being allowed to happen. Probably because one company owns 70% of the market, and is too stubborn to admit that it needs to change its ways, which will inevitably cause the entire industry to be annihilated, if they can’t get major unethical corporate bailout from the government, or finally just change what they’re doing.
It's like those artists that had never seen a cat and ended up painting a cat-man monstrosity, then refusing to admit that it doesn't look like a cat even when one is being held up right next to the painting
It never gets any better to hear.
That CGI Lupin The 3rd film is a better Indiana Jones movie and it’s pretty similar when it comes to the character’s background stories
I love how they try and look for some kind of meaning in the end of the movie. Guys... Indy was supposed to die. Not only die, he was supposed to be character-assassinated, _then_ erased from existence and replaced by Thundercunt. It's useless to look for meaning in a thrown-together band-aid of an ending they were forced to make because everyone hated the original ending/movie so much.
The meaning the original ending (along with the rest of the first version of the movie) was going for was "Yay women! Boo men! Time for men to step aside _universally!_ (Ya know, except for garbage collection or bricklaying or plumbing or anything else that we don't want to do.) The Indy is female!"
One thing I'll say for that version that we never got to see; it wouldn't have been the least bit difficult to discern what the movie was trying to tell us.
This spirited gave us “indypants”. I still laugh thinking about it.
Never saw this but I'm hearing that Indy got threatened with death by leeches. Not snakes, but leeches. Did I hear that right?
Indiana Jones was the one franchise Disney couldn't kill because after Crystal Skull it was already dead.
Good to know they're still a company of innovation
33:25 not to defend these charlatans but Jackie Chan movies also usually have super short endings.
Would you be able to indicate the date from which these clips are taken?
the original video is in the description. just look at the date when it was posted. episodes usually get posted on youtube as videos a couple of days after they're streamed
@@yinnyonline thank you, I meant just as a simple on-screen reference, especially when watching on mobile.
They were fooling themselves if they thought a movie with an 80 year old lead would justify a $300 million budget. Gen Z hasn’t seen ANY of these movies. Older people are coming off the last one that was divisive at best. Who was this made for?
Im listening to this after learning George Lucas is backing Iger in the proxy war. And im glad he is. Ill get to see Disney implode in the next 5 years.
I want to know if EFAP will ever cover Invincible.
In Last Crusade Connery was 58 and Ford was 46. Connery was not only sexual active, he was getting girls pregnant at twelve.
When I heard Harrison Ford was 34 when Star Wars finished, I said, "Good Lord! He must be a million years old!". Jeepers, Ford in the Diarrhea of Destiny, was 21 years older than Connery in the Last Crusade.
Someone's gotta do something about this people getting older problem
Wrong. Crystal Skull IS the canonical ending. In the chronologically first movie, Temple of Doom, Indy gets a taste of having a family (love interest + boy), in Raiders he rekindles his old relationship with Marion, in Last Crusade he has an adventure with his long lost father & reconciles with him. Crystal Skull brings all these things together, albeit with Indy in the father role. It's the ultimate fulfillment of the previous movies. And Indy truly has a happy ending: gets married & has a son to carry on his legacy.
SW prequels had similar problem as e.g. Hobbit movies did. Many action scenes are boringly long and I have no idea why so called experienced directors do such obvious mistakes like that.
I e.g. remember watching Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in theaters and Obi Wan and Anakin were fighting and I looked watch at one point during the duel that how long is this gonna last. Same with many other fights.
Then first 3 Indiana Jones movies everything was pretty much perfect. Occasional not too long fighting scenes to spice things up.
Damn Disney wanted to ruin everything made by LucasFilms, even franchises that were already ruined, but hey if theres something i learned from them is that you can always ruin something more to infinity! XD
Well acted scenes but completely out of character from what was established before?
Where have I seen that before?
8:00
when Lucasfilm goes to 0. Ill buy the company and write how Mutt (Played by Chris Pratt) faked his death to help short round find treasure in china and wear the indy outfit.
I'm a bit confused: why is this film still being discussed? It was arguably the worst thing to come out in the worst year of cinema, and doesn't deserve a single second of extra attention. It should be spat on and kicked into the basement of obscurity, only to be used as a warning to others who might think to follow in it's footsteps.
Or is this a reupload from last year?
Since these are clipped from bigger videos. This might be old
It's a focused excerpt with, I believe, light editing from the 5 hour video on the main EFAP channel from last summer so I guess it depends on what you consider a reup.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a fantastic stand alone film. I'll accept Last Crusade as a great conclusion to the first trilogy but the series begins and ends with Raiders when the Ark is wheeled into that warehouse and the credits start rolling. Everything else is fan fiction.
This is a retarded opinion.
Aside from how crazy the idea of traveling back through time was interesting, it's been 2 hours and 30 minutes and you cant do that. You peaked at the last frame and spent all this time just boring the people and now you do something remarkably interesting?? BAD idea.
I haven't seen any indiana jones movie except 4
Do yourself the favor and go back and watch 1-3. Discount everything else.
How The Last Jedi ruined RoboCop.
Worse. Film. Ever.🤬
I’m a massive Indy fan but I would never watch this film- ever
YES
China
Retroblasting gives Indy 5 a proper analysis. 3 hours of it.
1st
I hate PWB.
Kathleen Karen ruined Indiana Jones
