I still laugh my ass off everytime Sean Connery hits the tail of the plane with the machine gun an he turns to Indiana an just says "They got us son" haha
It is really funny. Although I recently learned that planes with tailguns had mechanisms built specifically to stop a tailgun from shooting the plane’s own tail by briefly stopping the gun from firing when it’s directly over the tail
That cut from Young Indiana Jones getting the hat put on his head, to him lifting his head to reveal Harrison Ford is one of the greatest scene transitions ever in cinema history
Two things about that scene no one mentions: 1) It wasn’t just any blimp, it was the Hindenburg 2) This is a super nit pick, but all the German passengers don’t find it suspicious that he says “No ticket” in English. Oh well, I guess we can pretend he said it in German and it was translated for the audience’s benefit.
Honestly one of the more underrated comedy moments of all time. It's right up there with "Who's scruffy looking?" and "That's a risk we were willing to take," and "Oh great! Real Bullets."
A very important detail for the glasses debate that James and Maso missed: In the scene before he escapes his office through the window he looks at the package that contains his dads diary. He is not wearing his glasses and when he tries to read the origin of the package (Venice Italy), he holds it at arms length. This means he is far-sighted.
I believe he's farsighted but wears them as fashion specs anyway in the classroom to make him look smarter. Of course they'd just get in the way during his adventures which are the majority of the film.

This is a perfect movie, but two specific points I would like to mention are: 1. I think the “I’m sorry, son. They got us.” scene is one of the funniest bits in cinematic history. 2. The literal ride-off-into-the-sunset ending might be the best ending in cinematic history.
It was sad to see how his character ended up in the latest Indiana Jones movie. A lot people felt that this was the proper send of Indiana especially since it stared the great Sean Connery in his role as Indiana's father.
I've always loved that in the Grail room, there are big gold dinner plates, as if anyone would get that far only to think that the Holy Grail is in fact a big shiny dinner plate
Fun Fact: Last Crusade is the reason I transitioned to calling my father “Dad” instead of “Daddy”. I was 8, and I was like “Well if the super cool Indiana Jones says Dad, then I better say Dad too if I wanna be cool” 😂
Ha! I relate to this but the inciting media for yours is better. Mine was from watching the original Transformers cartoon. After hearing Spike say "dad", 'daddy' just seemed so childish to my six year old brain.😂
Both of my parents refused to ever be called mummy or daddy because they had adult friends who called their parents that and thought it was weird. It's actually easier for babies to say mum or dad, so I don't know why adding the y makes it sound diminutive.
For anyone else who's also experiencing a sudden and inexplicable obsession with Indy's need for glasses as a result of CoG: He isn't wearing glasses when he sits down in his office at the start of the movie, and he picks up his mail and holds it slightly further away to read it. Indiana Jones is farsighted: confirmed! I'm gonna go do better things with my life now.
Haha, because of the glasses debate I actually noticed after watching Last Crusade a few days ago that Jones put his glasses on to read at the hotel with Brody, another confirmation!
The actor who played Hitler (Michael Sheard) was in a UK kids show, set in a school called "Grange Hill", as a strict teacher called Mr Bronson who was a bit of a villain to the child viewers. I remember being blown away seeing him in a huge movie like Last Crusade when I was an 8 year old! Though in hindsight, I think Hitler may be a bigger villain than a strict teacher.
He also used to appear regularly in doctor who and Harrison ford had worked with both him and Michael Byrne who plays Vogel in the 1978 film force 10 from Navarone where they both played German soldiers in that too, Michael Byrne has played a German soldier at least three times despite being British and he appears as a Brit with Michael Caine in a bridge too far and as a british submarine commander in the bond film tomorrow never dies
In the context of the movie, not really. Hitler just appears for a few seconds. He might be a real world villain but he's not the villain of the story.
River Phoenix not only looks a bit like Ford, but he gets his mannerisms down perfectly. The physicality and the confident mugging, even his line delivery is spot on.
I can't believe James didn't mention the very specific piece of Trivia about the scene where Donovan first enters from a fancy gala room where they play the Imperial March on Piano, to both signalising in his introduction that he's a bad guy and also as a nod to the actor playing an Imperial General on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. I can't belive James would not mention such an important part of the movie. And I am FURIOUS about it.
I feel this is a safe space to bring back the title Mr. Scumbag Movies for forcing upon us this horrendous film before covering the far superior 4th movie in the Indiana Jones Trilogy
Honestly, the on-screen chemistry between *Harrison Ford* and *Sean Connery* is so indescribably perfect that I think they may have privately agreed to never do another film together (to preserve the _rare_ and _special magic_ of this performance).
The scene where Connery finally hugs Ford is one of my favourite scenes in movie history. It's thrilling, then quiet and poignant as his father expresses his regrets, then funny when Indy wonders what they're looking at, and then touching to see Indy's smile when they embrace. And then throw in a little gag at the end with the hat. That's bloody good acting and top notch directing from pros working at the highest level.
As an Indonesian that "Australian tourist in Bali" bit makes me laugh way harder than I should. Bali have really become what Tijuana is for Americans lol.

Two of the best moments didn’t get discussed: 1) when young Indy the fedora pushed down on his head, the music swells, and then it cuts to old Indy, head rising and smiling, and then he gets punched and 2) Henry Jones Sr.’s “It doesn’t come any closer than that!”, followed by a bomb falling right in front of them and the car crashing into its crater. The cut jokes are so good in this movie
This might be the most positive I've ever heard the boys be on Caravan of Garbage, and it being also one of my favourite movies of all time is quite gratifying.
Fun Fact: Steven Spielberg wanted the liquid in the Holy Grail to have a certain look and shimmer. To achieve this effect, the crew had to make multiple batches of the liquid for different takes, and they actually had brew the liquid in between takes, which lead to the work title of this film being called Brew Harvest…
Raiders may be considered more of a classic, but The Last Crusade will always be my favorite. It's the Indy movie with the most heart. The relationship and growth that Indy and his father go through is so humorous and touching. I always tear up when his father finally calls him, "Indiana" at the end of the film.

Two things: -Indy reveals he is farsighted when he looked at the package his dad sent to him and had to move it away from his face to read it -When they get in the blimp, Henry opens the newspaper and it’s upside down
A perfect trilogy. A perfect way to end the tale of a great character, just riding into the sunset like cowboys, never to be touched or tainted ever ever ever never ever ever. THE END
My big nitpick with the petroleum sewer scene was when he swims under to try to find an exit and he's looking around in it with his eyes open. Also. I couldn't believe that James didn't pick up on the fact that the treasure hunter from the flashback scene (who Indie comes to idolize in a way) is the complete opposite of his strict, button down scholar father, which is a perfect example of the MASH effect...
The most emotional of the three for sure, also this one has been my favorite ever since I was a child, the grail theme still gives me goosebumps, also the motorcycle scherzo is one of the best musical pieces by John Williams imo
If people are wondering,That Guy who Shouts Rodney actually got in touch with them about the running gag and how much he’d actually become recognized specifically for the joke recently. Unfortunately this led to him being mocked a little bit in public as people started farming, or “harvesting” for him to shout Rodney for them, making him start to feel sad, or blue. This led to the working title of upcoming, “That Guy who Shouts Rodney”-less episodes of Caravan of Garbage being-
Fun Fact: Harrison Ford actually stapled the hat to his head. After they got done with the shooting he tried to take the hat off, so Steven Spielberg suggested that the only way to remove the hat is to ripp it off. The next day when Ford showed up for shooting Spielberg noticed Ford's head was blue. This lead him to gave the movie the working title "blue harvest". Which is also the working title of the original Star Wars.
I've got a feeling I'm not in the RLM inside joke section anymore ;) Okay, so I know there is a big joke, regarding blue harvest. I know it was the working title for Return of the Jedi. Would you be kind enough to let me in on the inside joke/meme? It would be cool, if you did. Thanks
@@steveharvey2102umm actually no, it was the working title for the original Star Wars from 1977. But seriously, if you want to understand the joke, just watch every caravan of garbage in order starting with their Star Wars prequel videos from spring last year.
Dude... I havent seen this movie for like 10+ years and I NEED to buy me that replica diary.... I always thought it was SO COOL when I was a kid. I loved how it was held together with little strap and had all these crazy secrets. Man, the nostalgia this video is giving me was a little unexpected. lol.
Honestly, I thought you guys were seriously shitting on "Last Crusade" for the last couple videos and I could not understand why. I am beyond happy to find out it was all a joke. Because this one is the best of the series. Thanks for your videos!
I have the hat from the woman who made the hats by hand. You are correct about the brim being shorter 😂 Also I can’t believe you two had no comment about the moment where Indy realizes his dad also banged Elsa, and you can briefly see the existential dread in his eyes and then “eh, shit happens 🤷🏼♀️ dads before Nazi hoes, I GUESS” 😂 and they just immediately move on as if it never happened
@@mrsundaymovies this is the highlight of my commenting career 😂 Indiana Jones inspired me to be a historian today when I was 4, I’ve been eagerly waiting for you two to give him the caravan of garbage treatment for years, well worth the wait 🎊
I saw this movie at the age of 11. It has so much fun stuff, it's such an adventure movie, but oh my goodness, the PG-13 rating is so appropriate, in that the movie is basically written at a 13-year-old reading level. Figuring out very simple mysteries, jokes like "oh rats", and scary skeletons. LOTS of repeating (the number of "only the penitent man shall pass" is almost uncountable), and counting the Roman numerals. Also a lot of dialog using words that limit themselves to less than three syllables (I don't have it in front of me), something like "look at all the cups. Any one could be the grail. Which one is it? " It's chock full of adventure tropes, many of which are very cool. I think my final thought is just to enjoy it as it is, and don't think too hard about any of it. Just roll with it.
This may be the first time commenting but I have been the biggest fan of your channel for the past two years. I have unabashedly referenced your humor on our channel and my best friend and I sometimes slip into Aussie accents when our dynamic reminds us of yours (which is frequent). That aside: this is my FAVORITE FILM OF ALL TIME and I’m so thankful you’ve covered it with such quality commentary and editing (Ben and Lawrence, I have shamelessly modeled some of our editing gags after you. Keep up the phenomenal work). Great job. PS: I don’t know why, but hearing y’all refer to Indy as an “absolute grub” makes this LA guy laugh every time! 😅
I still very much prefer Raiders, but I'll never forget watching "Crusade" in the theater on opening week. Big, old fashioned movie-theater, completely sold out. The River Phoenix sequence comes to an end and when the cut to Harrison Ford as Indy happened, the whole crowd erupted in applause and cheers. I'm pretty sure I've never experienced a crowd reaction like that before or since then.
This is my favorite one. I especially like how Sean Connery plays against type, it’s sort of the MASH effect if you will. Instead of playing the smooth action hero who inspired Indiana jones he plays a doddering old man (who still gets the ladies of course)
We've found Maso's weakness when it comes to clothing and it's hats. We know he's Rain Man For Watches and can notice fine details in the pinstriping of suits, but "cut the hat all the way around" makes me think he's never owned a hat.
I'm actually an optical assistant at Specsavers so here's my big issue with his glasses: If theyre solely reading glasses, everytime he looks at his students he'd be looking at a distorted blur. If they're designed to correct astigmatism or distance, he should be wearing them all the time or substitute contact lenses (which I don't think were invented at the time). His glasses also dont really noticeably have any prescription as I can't particularly see any distortion through the lens and there's no part of the lens sticking out which indicates either a particularly low script or that they're fake (or he bought the thinner lighter lenses that are currently 50% until the end of June, come on down). All this is to say I think they're just to make him look smarter since he only seems to wear them in situations where looking smart helps.
This is my favorite Indy movie, Connery and Ford just mesh so well together, cool action set pieces, engaging storyline, and a great soundtrack. Best part, my dad took me to see this in theater, first run, and since my kid has seen the originals, we went as Indy and Prof. Jones for Halloween. Good times.
Aha! Trivia James missed because I’m an obnoxious prick and I know this: The guy who played Hitler, Michael Sheard was also in Raiders of the Lost Ark but more importantly he played Admiral Ozzel in ESB, where he acted with Harrison Ford and actor Julian Glover who played General Veers and who played Donovan in this. Little Empire Strikes Back callback for ya
I think the blueprint for the Young Indy scene was Good, Bad and the Ugly. It's a prequel, and Eastwood gets his signature poncho, but it's such an inconsequential part of a massive epic that you don't notice.
At the end, they collected all of the blueprints, which was sad for those who wanted to keep them as souvenirs. This because infamously known among the crew as the BluePrint Harvest. Blue Harvest being the original title of Star Wars.
The part where Indiana and his dad are tied up and his dad says “she talks in her sleep”(referring to Elsa), confirms that both Indiana and his dad slept with Elsa, didn’t pick up on that until I was older
Only feeding the Glasses craziness, but I noticed that when he's in his office and receives that package that is the grail diary he has to hold it away from his face to read Venice Italy. So, that would suggest that he is farsighted or whichever one is he can't see close to him.
My favourite of the Indy films. I got to meet Julian Glover a few years ago. He’s such a friendly gentleman and plays such excellent villains and he was great here. That moment when he shot Indy’s dad was such a moment that adds a stake to the finale, especially after the journey they just went on.
My personal ranking of Indy movies goes: 1. Raiders 2. Last Crusade (as a very close second) 3. Tintin and the secret of the unicorn (I know, but it's totally got that Indy vibe) 4. Temple of Doom 5. Crystal Skulls Last Crusade is so good.
The last crusade is my favorite out of all the Indiana Jones movies and, in my opinion, is the best because of the Dynamic between harrison Ford and Sean connery.
This movie is one of the best movies ever for me. The chemistry between actors, the scenzrio, the right direction, the dialogues. Everything is as close to perfection as you can get in an action movie
A bit of trivia/theory regarding the blades of the first trial is that the reason why they have 2 blades (horizontal and vertical) is that the horizontal blade is to slice a non-religious person, while the vertical blade is to slice the head of a Muslim, who would be kneeling with their heads to the ground and also the enemy of the Christians during the crusades.
Ah this film was my childhood. I loved the others too, but it was Crusade that I loved the most. I saw it for the first time when I was 6 maybe 7 and just loved the adventure of it. I was also obsessed with the Lego Video Game so that helped too. I even went as far as to take my grandad's belt to use as a whip, hat and a toy gun I had and dress up to pretend I was Indiana Jones. Many hours spent in my Grandparents back yard acting out the opening of Raiders because it reminded me of a Jungle. Ah Fond Memories. Edit: My favourite part as a kid was when he was trying to get into the castle, when the Butler wasn't buying he said in a thick German accent. "If you are a Scottish Lord, zen I am Mickey Mouse!"
OR, if Indy would have actually stayed overnight with her, he would have heard her mumbling about the SS in her sleep. His father says that he knew she was a Nazi because "she talks in her sleep."
This was my favorite moving as a kid, which made it all the morning rewarding watching it as an adult and seeing the brilliance in the filmmaking. This is in that Spielberg “perfect film” category. Just a masterclass
I hadn't seen these movies until I was in my 20s and they never clicked with me. As is often the case, the best way I've found to enjoy movies that I don't personally like is vicariously through a couple of Aussie podcasters. These 20ish minute videos are now my preferred way to watch the Indiana Jones trilogy. Well done
Last Crusade is my personal favourite of all the Indiana Jones films. Ford & Connery had really the best chemistry of all time that has never been bettered before.
Its such a genuine reaction Henry had when Indy rescued him, imagine how you would feel if your offspring grabbed a machine gun and blew away a group of guards without hesitation, i know they're Nazis but still, also both of them sharing the same woman. As far as the tie? I think Harrison Ford liked wearing ties, just look at Air Force One, he keeps his tie on the entire movie
Think on this. License To Kill came out within weeks of this movie. They did all their stunts for real and used models for their FX shots. The Bond franchise was a holdout in that respect. Lucas leaned heavily into CGI for The Last Crusade and composited a lot of Sean Connery and Harrison Ford into some quite bad CGI blimp and flying FX. I really thought License To Kill had superior fx work, while ILM was coasting on their reputation for the Star Wars trilogy.
Original drafts of the script involved a blue glowing potion that had to be drank from the grail, which would be found at the castle early in the movie. Even though this never was put in the final version, it still was the basis for the original working title, Blue Harvest.
This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie of the whole franchise. And that scene when Henry Sr. thinks Indy is dead and then hugs him is my favorite moment probably of the whole franchise. I love the dynamic between Ford and Connery, the action, the humor, this movie had it all
Lads, you should follow these up with the two Guy Ritchie, Sherlock Holmes films. Though not as good as the Indiana Jones films I do think they have a lot in common as action comedy films and do hold up pretty well.
Fun Fact: Sean Connery and Harrison Ford wore no trousers during the shooting of the entire Zeppelin sequence. It was filmed in a very hot studio, and Connery didn't want to sweat too much.
I still laugh my ass off everytime Sean Connery hits the tail of the plane with the machine gun an he turns to Indiana an just says "They got us son" haha

also in the college scenes, he's either writing or has been writing on the chalkboard which he would need them for
Mystery solved!
Yeah- I think it makes sense that he’s far sighted, but it’s not too bad, so he can comfortably punch a blurry man close to him.
It's also very brief but he does put his glasses on when on the blimp to look at something, which again means far-sightedness

I remember being blown away seeing him in a huge movie like Last Crusade when I was an 8 year old! Though in hindsight, I think Hitler may be a bigger villain than a strict teacher.
Also Admiral Ozzel in ESB. The Star Wars/Indy connection digs itself deeper. (Plus Pat Roach is Kael in Willow)

A perfect trilogy. A perfect way to end the tale of a great character, just riding into the sunset like cowboys, never to be touched or tainted ever ever ever never ever ever. THE END
My big nitpick with the petroleum sewer scene was when he swims under to try to find an exit and he's looking around in it with his eyes open. Also. I couldn't believe that James didn't pick up on the fact that the treasure hunter from the flashback scene (who Indie comes to idolize in a way) is the complete opposite of his strict, button down scholar father, which is a perfect example of the MASH effect...
Petroleum floats on water, so it was probably just a layer on top in that part of the catacombs.
@@xenoborg007 yeah right next you're gonna tell me glass isn't frozen air
I love the part where they’re tied back to back trying to escape. “Dad! What? Dad! What?”
Editor deserves a raise for that Linkin Park transformers mid 2000s gag. Brilliant.
The most emotional of the three for sure, also this one has been my favorite ever since I was a child, the grail theme still gives me goosebumps, also the motorcycle scherzo is one of the best musical pieces by John Williams imo
If people are wondering,That Guy who Shouts Rodney actually got in touch with them about the running gag and how much he’d actually become recognized specifically for the joke recently. Unfortunately this led to him being mocked a little bit in public as people started farming, or “harvesting” for him to shout Rodney for them, making him start to feel sad, or blue. This led to the working title of upcoming, “That Guy who Shouts Rodney”-less episodes of Caravan of Garbage being-
Fun Fact: Harrison Ford actually stapled the hat to his head. After they got done with the shooting he tried to take the hat off, so Steven Spielberg suggested that the only way to remove the hat is to ripp it off. The next day when Ford showed up for shooting Spielberg noticed Ford's head was blue. This lead him to gave the movie the working title "blue harvest". Which is also the working title of the original Star Wars.
I've got a feeling I'm not in the RLM inside joke section anymore ;)
Okay, so I know there is a big joke, regarding blue harvest.
I know it was the working title for Return of the Jedi.
Would you be kind enough to let me in on the inside joke/meme?
It would be cool, if you did.
Thanks
@@steveharvey2102umm actually no, it was the working title for the original Star Wars from 1977.
But seriously, if you want to understand the joke, just watch every caravan of garbage in order starting with their Star Wars prequel videos from spring last year.
Dude... I havent seen this movie for like 10+ years and I NEED to buy me that replica diary.... I always thought it was SO COOL when I was a kid. I loved how it was held together with little strap and had all these crazy secrets. Man, the nostalgia this video is giving me was a little unexpected. lol.
Any COG where both James and Maso love the movie is so wholesome I love it.😂
Honestly, I thought you guys were seriously shitting on "Last Crusade" for the last couple videos and I could not understand why. I am beyond happy to find out it was all a joke. Because this one is the best of the series. Thanks for your videos!
Last Crusade is my favorite indy film. The humor, the action, the dynamic between the son and father is all so amazing
But it’s not! It’s a big studio production helmed by one of the most successful dir…
Oh, you didn’t mean *that* kind of indy film.
@@stvbrsn Indie vs. Indy
4:34 The Linkin Park / end credits joke is amazing.
It's so funny😭😭
I have the hat from the woman who made the hats by hand. You are correct about the brim being shorter 😂
Also I can’t believe you two had no comment about the moment where Indy realizes his dad also banged Elsa, and you can briefly see the existential dread in his eyes and then “eh, shit happens 🤷🏼♀️ dads before Nazi hoes, I GUESS” 😂 and they just immediately move on as if it never happened
WOAH I KNEW IT
@@mrsundaymovies this is the highlight of my commenting career 😂 Indiana Jones inspired me to be a historian today when I was 4, I’ve been eagerly waiting for you two to give him the caravan of garbage treatment for years, well worth the wait 🎊
That’s all awesome, thank you for the kind words!
I saw this movie at the age of 11. It has so much fun stuff, it's such an adventure movie, but oh my goodness, the PG-13 rating is so appropriate, in that the movie is basically written at a 13-year-old reading level. Figuring out very simple mysteries, jokes like "oh rats", and scary skeletons. LOTS of repeating (the number of "only the penitent man shall pass" is almost uncountable), and counting the Roman numerals. Also a lot of dialog using words that limit themselves to less than three syllables (I don't have it in front of me), something like "look at all the cups. Any one could be the grail. Which one is it? "
It's chock full of adventure tropes, many of which are very cool. I think my final thought is just to enjoy it as it is, and don't think too hard about any of it. Just roll with it.
This may be the first time commenting but I have been the biggest fan of your channel for the past two years. I have unabashedly referenced your humor on our channel and my best friend and I sometimes slip into Aussie accents when our dynamic reminds us of yours (which is frequent). That aside: this is my FAVORITE FILM OF ALL TIME and I’m so thankful you’ve covered it with such quality commentary and editing (Ben and Lawrence, I have shamelessly modeled some of our editing gags after you. Keep up the phenomenal work). Great job. PS: I don’t know why, but hearing y’all refer to Indy as an “absolute grub” makes this LA guy laugh every time! 😅
I still very much prefer Raiders, but I'll never forget watching "Crusade" in the theater on opening week. Big, old fashioned movie-theater, completely sold out. The River Phoenix sequence comes to an end and when the cut to Harrison Ford as Indy happened, the whole crowd erupted in applause and cheers. I'm pretty sure I've never experienced a crowd reaction like that before or since then.
I can’t remember the last time I was this exited for a series of RUclips videos. Love the videos like always.
This is my favorite one. I especially like how Sean Connery plays against type, it’s sort of the MASH effect if you will. Instead of playing the smooth action hero who inspired Indiana jones he plays a doddering old man (who still gets the ladies of course)
We've found Maso's weakness when it comes to clothing and it's hats. We know he's Rain Man For Watches and can notice fine details in the pinstriping of suits, but "cut the hat all the way around" makes me think he's never owned a hat.
I'm actually an optical assistant at Specsavers so here's my big issue with his glasses:
If theyre solely reading glasses, everytime he looks at his students he'd be looking at a distorted blur.
If they're designed to correct astigmatism or distance, he should be wearing them all the time or substitute contact lenses (which I don't think were invented at the time).
His glasses also dont really noticeably have any prescription as I can't particularly see any distortion through the lens and there's no part of the lens sticking out which indicates either a particularly low script or that they're fake (or he bought the thinner lighter lenses that are currently 50% until the end of June, come on down).
All this is to say I think they're just to make him look smarter since he only seems to wear them in situations where looking smart helps.
Man, I love this movie. Its my favourite of the series and I was heartbroken to hear that James hates it.
This is my favorite Indy movie, Connery and Ford just mesh so well together, cool action set pieces, engaging storyline, and a great soundtrack. Best part, my dad took me to see this in theater, first run, and since my kid has seen the originals, we went as Indy and Prof. Jones for Halloween. Good times.
“She talks in her sleep.”, was the first adult joke I understood as a kid. Chef’s kiss.
"I'm as human as the next man." "I was the next man." Lol
Aha! Trivia James missed because I’m an obnoxious prick and I know this: The guy who played Hitler, Michael Sheard was also in Raiders of the Lost Ark but more importantly he played Admiral Ozzel in ESB, where he acted with Harrison Ford and actor Julian Glover who played General Veers and who played Donovan in this. Little Empire Strikes Back callback for ya
I think the blueprint for the Young Indy scene was Good, Bad and the Ugly. It's a prequel, and Eastwood gets his signature poncho, but it's such an inconsequential part of a massive epic that you don't notice.
At the end, they collected all of the blueprints, which was sad for those who wanted to keep them as souvenirs. This because infamously known among the crew as the BluePrint Harvest. Blue Harvest being the original title of Star Wars.
@@solvseus Jesus Christ that was masterful.
Without a doubt my favourite Spielberg movie and probably the best action movie I’ve ever seen.
The phrase “No ticket” still comes into my head on a regular
11:38 love that cut from Shepard to the LEGO game.
4:31 This made up ending is exactly how it would happen. That linkin park song edited in it is the cherry on top
The part where Indiana and his dad are tied up and his dad says “she talks in her sleep”(referring to Elsa), confirms that both Indiana and his dad slept with Elsa, didn’t pick up on that until I was older
The tank sequence, in my opinion, is the best scene in all of the movies.
Only feeding the Glasses craziness, but I noticed that when he's in his office and receives that package that is the grail diary he has to hold it away from his face to read Venice Italy. So, that would suggest that he is farsighted or whichever one is he can't see close to him.
Trivia bullseye!! I hadn't ever spotted the healed wounds before, despite having watched this a million times. Hats off to you (so staple it down).
"here's the thing/The Thing" joke murders me every time. These editors are gold.
The Last Crusade is a fabulous sequel to Raiders…. i often times switch between which one i like better. they are both flawless.
My favourite of the Indy films. I got to meet Julian Glover a few years ago. He’s such a friendly gentleman and plays such excellent villains and he was great here. That moment when he shot Indy’s dad was such a moment that adds a stake to the finale, especially after the journey they just went on.
13:57 I have watched this film 100 times, including 3 days ago and I never once clocked that he got his beret and rain coat from Elsa.
My personal ranking of Indy movies goes:
1. Raiders
2. Last Crusade (as a very close second)
3. Tintin and the secret of the unicorn (I know, but it's totally got that Indy vibe)
4. Temple of Doom
5. Crystal Skulls
Last Crusade is so good.
The last crusade is my favorite out of all the Indiana Jones movies and, in my opinion, is the best because of the Dynamic between harrison Ford and Sean connery.
It's so lovely to hear you genuinely nerd out on a movie again 🥰
The Return of the “But Here’s the Thing” Bit. My favorite
One of the finest motion pictures ever made.
This movie is one of the best movies ever for me. The chemistry between actors, the scenzrio, the right direction, the dialogues. Everything is as close to perfection as you can get in an action movie
A bit of trivia/theory regarding the blades of the first trial is that the reason why they have 2 blades (horizontal and vertical) is that the horizontal blade is to slice a non-religious person, while the vertical blade is to slice the head of a Muslim, who would be kneeling with their heads to the ground and also the enemy of the Christians during the crusades.
Now that's something I did not know.
Cool trivia. Thanks.
That's a solid theory.
Ah this film was my childhood. I loved the others too, but it was Crusade that I loved the most. I saw it for the first time when I was 6 maybe 7 and just loved the adventure of it. I was also obsessed with the Lego Video Game so that helped too. I even went as far as to take my grandad's belt to use as a whip, hat and a toy gun I had and dress up to pretend I was Indiana Jones. Many hours spent in my Grandparents back yard acting out the opening of Raiders because it reminded me of a Jungle. Ah Fond Memories.
Edit: My favourite part as a kid was when he was trying to get into the castle, when the Butler wasn't buying he said in a thick German accent. "If you are a Scottish Lord, zen I am Mickey Mouse!"
Maybe if he was wearing his glasses he would have realized Elsa was a Nazi.
OR, if Indy would have actually stayed overnight with her, he would have heard her mumbling about the SS in her sleep. His father says that he knew she was a Nazi because "she talks in her sleep."
@@TwentyItaliansLS “How did you know she was a Nazi?”
“She talksch in her schleep.”
Indiana Jones is an archaeologist, yet he completely destroys every archaeological site he visits.
I can't wait until the next one, when James tells us all about the best Indiana Jones.
Third best.
This was my favorite moving as a kid, which made it all the morning rewarding watching it as an adult and seeing the brilliance in the filmmaking. This is in that Spielberg “perfect film” category. Just a masterclass
When he switches the hats and jackets but it doesn't even work is great. "If you are a Scottish lord then I am Mickey Mouse."
Yeah, wonder if he tried the accent, failed in rehearsals and they changed the script, or if it was originally like that.
“How dare he”
"My biggest complaint....it's not realistic enough."
This movie about the Holy Grail, it's not realistic enough.
I hadn't seen these movies until I was in my 20s and they never clicked with me. As is often the case, the best way I've found to enjoy movies that I don't personally like is vicariously through a couple of Aussie podcasters. These 20ish minute videos are now my preferred way to watch the Indiana Jones trilogy. Well done
Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
I loved the grail diary too. Still want one to this day
Last Crusade is my personal favourite of all the Indiana Jones films. Ford & Connery had really the best chemistry of all time that has never been bettered before.
The beginning also got me into wanting to go into Scouting. This is definitely the one to watch with your own day..
Love you guys. I love when you make fun of shit but to hear you two gushing over this movie just makes me so happy. Thanks. ❤
Its such a genuine reaction Henry had when Indy rescued him, imagine how you would feel if your offspring grabbed a machine gun and blew away a group of guards without hesitation, i know they're Nazis but still, also both of them sharing the same woman. As far as the tie? I think Harrison Ford liked wearing ties, just look at Air Force One, he keeps his tie on the entire movie
A perfect movie. Last Crusade is a masterpiece
Think on this. License To Kill came out within weeks of this movie. They did all their stunts for real and used models for their FX shots. The Bond franchise was a holdout in that respect. Lucas leaned heavily into CGI for The Last Crusade and composited a lot of Sean Connery and Harrison Ford into some quite bad CGI blimp and flying FX. I really thought License To Kill had superior fx work, while ILM was coasting on their reputation for the Star Wars trilogy.
There is NO "worst one" in the OG trilogy. They are all brilliant
Temple of Doom is significantly worse than the other two.
You have a Burger, a cheeseburger, and a bacon cheeseburger in front of you.
Temple is the Burger. It's still nice but I want the other two
Original drafts of the script involved a blue glowing potion that had to be drank from the grail, which would be found at the castle early in the movie. Even though this never was put in the final version, it still was the basis for the original working title, Blue Harvest.
Another great video mr sundance
Where's that guy who shouts Rodney? Is he safe? Is he alright?
Great edit in this Laurence!
This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie of the whole franchise. And that scene when Henry Sr. thinks Indy is dead and then hugs him is my favorite moment probably of the whole franchise. I love the dynamic between Ford and Connery, the action, the humor, this movie had it all
No one spoil James's enthusiasm for the new Indiana Jones film (Mason)!
Actually not the only film where he was like this, Connery had a good sense of humor and funny dynamic with Christopher Lambert in Highlander!
We went straight from Pat Roach to Jay Roach at 16:21, and I must say I rather enjoy that little Easter Egg.
Lads, you should follow these up with the two Guy Ritchie, Sherlock Holmes films. Though not as good as the Indiana Jones films I do think they have a lot in common as action comedy films and do hold up pretty well.
Fun Fact: Sean Connery and Harrison Ford wore no trousers during the shooting of the entire Zeppelin sequence. It was filmed in a very hot studio, and Connery didn't want to sweat too much.
Never gonna watch that scene the same 😂
I'm disappointed you didn't weave a Blue Harvest joke into your comment
