“Where is the American government?” This is the isolationist pre WW2 US, not the post WW2 superpower juggernaut we are so used to. What you should ask, is where are the British military. They would not have allowed German military personnel to be so active in Egypt, which was basically a part of the British Empire.
@@alalalala57 Yes, it really is a very obvious question if you are at all knowledgeable about this period of history 😄. The British were obsessed with keeping control over the Suez Channel, as their empire was completely dependent on their control over the shipping lanes to India. While formally independent in this period, Egypt was still deeply connected to the British Empire. With British troops being present in the country. Any major German operation in the area, would be watched closely, and a buildup of German military would simply not be allowed.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Yes, you were isolationist before the start of WW2. It meant not getting involved with Europa and it’s power struggles. You were for example not a member of the League of Nations. The US was actively present in the americas, not much else.
I agree completely. With this comment and the reaction. Jeez, those actors were fuckin' troopers for keeping their cool while covered with live spiders. @_@
I recently read a book called "Bigfoot and the Bodhisattva" where this is a plot point, the protagonist is a Himalayan yeti who lives off the brains of dead climbers and kind of absorbs their knowledge and memories that way, so now he's well-versed in the culture of the sort of western well off hipster dudes who think going for a deadly climb on one of the most dangerous mountains in the world is a nice way to "find yourself" or some other nonsense.
Truly. So many great soundtracks. These notes are part of some of our DNA. We hear this music when we're doing virtually anything, without knowing it. I cannot imagine a life without his music.
His run through the 1970s to the 1990s is beyond impressive. Like, how does a single man compose: - the iconic Superman theme - the entirety of the Star Wars soundtracks, including several major iconic themes like the opening one and the Imperial March - the Indiana Jones soundtrack - the Jurassic Park soundtrack - the ET soundtrack - the Home Alone soundtrack and I'm leaving Harry Potter out because that's 2001 but holy shit Hedwig's Theme is another masterpiece. And I'm sure I'm missing something. That's more tunes that literally billions of people remember so well they could hum them on command than... probably anyone else has ever composed. In history. It's hard without hindsight to tell who will be remembered in the future the way Mozart or Beethoven are remembered today, but I feel like John Williams is a good bet.
Amen. Someone said the most influential genre was classical music. Then talked about John Williams. I can't listen to John Williams without seeing the film in my minds eye...if you will. Yes!! His score is why Prisoner feels like the best HP movie. He is our emotional nostalgia. May James Horner ST 2 and Braveheart have the same scope and scale?
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi And also the Hook soundtrack which is my absolute favorite of the more 'lesser referenced' soundtracks. And the Jaws theme (although I've never actually seen that movie).
I was watching this on my lunch break and almost had to turn it off when the tarantulas were on his back. Natalie's screaming had my coworkers thinking I was watching an adult movie
Just as you said, this hit the spot after a long work day. Had a lot of fun watching this again with you. The coathanger got you!!! This movie was made in the style of and paid homage to the serials of the 1930s. They were short segments that ended with cliffhangers that were picked up in the next segment (next week, next month, whatever). A fun, adventurous romp.
Yep, John Williams... probably our greatest living composer. Always love hearing your appreciation for how the soundtrack adds to a film. And just remember... this movie, with faces melting, heads exploding, and a guy being chopped up by a plane propeller... is rated PG, and the Matrix, where there's barely any blood, is rated R. Riddle me that.
Yep. Though Harrison came up first in casting, but ironically it was George Lucas who was against the casting - maybe because he was afraid people would think he couldn't make a hit movie without Ford lol.
Moleram pulling out the Heart in Temple was mine. I could never watch that fucking scene without running out of the room. But Moleram's theme song had a hot beat.
Such a great reaction. One of the things you realize when watching this movie in 2021 is that Marion was 15 when she had an affair with 27 year old Indiana Jones. No wonder she hated him. It does kind of make sense that the U.S. government wouldn't have had any troops in the region since it was set in 1936, way before the USA had entered the war or built up its standing arming. The ending also reminds me of Warehouse 13, one of the best TV shows ever.
I know that the "warehouses" supposedly pre-date the events of this film, but yeah, that was my first thought when they showed the inside of the Warehouse the first time.
The ending bookends the start. The Ark started out hidden from the eyes of man in a tomb, and ends up hidden from the eyes of man on a secret warehouse.
Am I the only person whose mind was blown when they found out that John Rhys - Davies, who plays Indiana Jone's friend (Sallah) in Cairo, also played Gimli in Lord of the Rings ?!!
I had watched Indiana Jones many times before Lord of the Rings came out so I had the same reaction when I saw Gimli. 'OMG!! That's the guy (Sallah) from Indiana Jones"
Another interesting factoid is that Indy and Belloq started off as friends when they younger, until Belloq stole one of Indy's research papers that he had been working on and took all the credit for it. It was so good that it made Belloq a household name in archaeology. Indy was never able to prove it was his. Belloq has been stealing from Indy his whole life.
That makes no sense, given that Belloq is the much older archeologist from whom Indy steals back the golden cross in the 4th movie, as a teenager. Unless you're pretending that the 4th movie doesn't exist? LOL
@@TheAlmaward 1st correction, the Cross of Coronado was claimed and reclaimed by Indy in the THIRD movie, not the 4th. 2nd correction, the guy who took the Cross of Coronado and that Indy got said Cross back from wasn’t Belloq, but a random other older man only referred to as Panama Hat.
That warehouse scene at the end became the elevator pitch for the old SyFy-channel show "Warehouse 13" where you follow the caretakers of a storage facility where dangerous supernatural artifacts are kept safe from the public.
I've called this the best movie ever made. It's got everything: drama, action, humour, romance, morals... great performances, fantastic writing, INCREDIBLE music.... It's just a masterpiece.
Hard to disagree! I constantly have to think to myself which movies come close... I usually end up with some combination of Empire, Aliens, Conan, SPRyan, Dune, LOTR, Patriot Games, Close Encounters, New Hope, Predator, Wrath of Khan, Heat, Time Bandits, Tron Legacy, ST Into Darkness, Goonies, and yes, Flash Gordon.
@@recrdholdr Why would that matter though...? Is the title character's impact on the story a clinch point for you to enjoy the movie - or were you just semi thoughtlessly reitterating some tired pop culture reference?
A lot of Steven Spielberg movies are tributes to the older serial movies like Buck Rogers, The Perils of Pauline, Flash Gordon, the Tarzan movies and Zorro etc.
At 28:50, the actor playing Rene didn't actually swallow the fly. They said the fly flew off when he closed his mouth, but the editor removed a few frames to make it look like it got eaten.
19:58 In the original release you could see reflections on the glass wall between Indy and the snakes. These were mostly removed in the 2003 DVD edition.
6:54-7:08 - Alfred Molina's first real gig in a major Hollywood production involved him being covered with spiders. Flash forward 23 years, and he's playing one of the all-time best Spider-Man villains in one of the all-time best superhero movies.
I think I heard it was his first day of shooting, too. Imagine that-- you get a real acting job, and on your first day, it's "Okay, so here's all the bigass spiders we're gonna put on you." "The what, now?" ...Not only that, but they weren't moving around enough at first, so I can only assume that really dragged out the amount time spent covered in them, while they figured out how to make them crawl around.
@@frigginjerk I heard somewhere that they were all males and they didn't move around enough for Spielberg's tastes, so they added a female to get them really scurrying.
Hiya Natalie! Just finished watching you r reaction to this. I've been catching up with quite a few of your videos of movies I have enjoyed over the years. Late last night I watched all 3 parts from your -LOTRs: Return of the King (I'm a big LOTRs/ Hobbit film fan. ), then I watched your Gladiator video also. I swear your reactions are very entertaining lol! I had just started eating some dinner when the spider scene came up, I LOL so hard I had tears streaming on my face!😂😂 It was hysterical! I was surprised you were fine with the ton of snakes scene. 😁 I loved that scene myself though my Mother had a hard time watching. 😁 My (late) Mom enjoyed the movie because she and her brothers grew up watching the old Serial movies as kids. From the time I saw HF in SW as a teen in the 70's, had had a huge crush on him for some years lol. He was perfect as Indy. I'm a big movie fan depending on what the movie is, grew up watching the classics on TV and going to the theaters. 🎥 @nataliegold
I'm guessing she didn't realize when Marion said, "I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it!" that she was 15 when they were romantically involved and Indy was about 25 at the time. Just makes that scene hit so much harder.
That wasn't in the novel or the script. Kasdan's script actually had Marion as Belloq's romantic interest. Karen Allen improvised her own backstory. (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Ravenwood#Concept_and_creation ). - PS - Though it would sound creepy today to have a 25 year old Indy and a 15-16 year old Marion romantically involved... in 1920's Nepal, she was probably kind of old to not be married.
in the cut scene he actually said "you were 14 you knew what you were doing" - i assume 14 was the age of consent in the early 1900s.... still gross though
@@Mr.Ekshin It was in the novelization of the film. Doesn't matter who came up with the concept. It's in the movie. Also, just because something is legal, doesn't make it right, no matter what year it is.
So Natalie I have some new recommendations for you: 1. Attack of the Mutant Spiders 2. The Spider that Ate the Jersey Turnpike 3. Honey I Blew Up the Tarantula 4. When I Married Spiderman This Was Not What I Expected 5. Spiders: Our Fuzzy Friends Who Only Bite Occasionally
Fun fact: The sub used in this movie was made for Wolfgang Petersen's movie 'Das Boot' that was still in pre-production. Spielberg didn't want to build a U-boat so he got Petersen to rent him his full-scale replica for a couple of days filming. The 'U-boat' was barely navigable and only included an empty metal hull and an engine. The night Spielberg finished that part of his shoot, a storm hit the replica and sank it. The 'Das Boot' production has searched local shorelines/fished up pieces and reconstructed their replica as best as they could. The story has a happy ending as even without their original full-scale U-boat 'Das Boot' was nominated for 6 Oscars and was a commercial success (and considered one of the best war movies of all time). Much of the film's budget was spent on U-boat replica/sets.
Man I watched that movie in the theater when I was 10, I had to beg my sister who was older to go with me to the movie. She really didn't want to go because she thought it was some silly kids movie. By the end when we left the theater she was like, "that was a great movie!". Thanks for bring back great memories.
i loved marion so much i wish she was in all of them smh she was the only leading lady in the series that wasn't insufferable for one reason or another lmfao
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 6 years old, and it changed my life forever. I have seen it probably 100 times since, literally. For me, it's the best movie ever made, and I can still remember the feeling I had watching it as a kid -- it's the feeling I've been chasing ever since. Because of it, I LOVE movies, and I love being told a story, and it's the reason I find myself doing things like watching other people watching and reacting to movies :)
But why did they put in that 'car going off the mountain road' bit? Tanis and Cairo are in the Nile Delta -- they're _barely_ above sea level. (I know -- it does look cool.)
I know right. Chris Stuckmann gushes over it and for good reason. He explains it so well in his Problem With Action Movies Today video, how the vulnerability of the main hero is integral to the art of an action movie, how to utilise aspects of filmmaking to make you root for the hero. Note how in the truck sequence, when Indy gets shot in the arm the music changes and becomes more dire. Then the soldier comes back, punches him IN THE GUNSHOT WOUND, throws him out of the cabin, and then he has his “coming back from the brink” moment where through his own effort regains the high ground and kicks that guy’s ass. It’s god tier action movie making.
I understand the dialogue about representation, but Alfred Molina has been a shapeshifter over the decades. He was South American in this movie, Mexican in Maverick, and whatever he was in the Spider-Man movies.
Thank you for this reaction video! Didn't realize it had been a while since I last rewatched this series. I first watched this in the 90s when we were visiting a maternal relative and I think this was the first time I actually realized how magical movies can be.
7:07 Ah, savor the irony. The subtitles read "whimpers softly", as Natalie screamed loud enough to crack the plaster. Most people in the summer of 1980: I want to be an archeologist when I grow up. Me in the summer of 1980: I want to be a film composer when I grow up.
fun fact, when indie shoots the guy with the sword it was actually improvised. there was supposed to be this big fight scene but harrison ford was ill and suffering a severe case of diarrhea so he just shot the guy instead.
Fun fact! The scene with the swordsman was actually scripted to be a long drawn out shot, but Harrison Ford was actually dealing with dehydration and food poisoning and didnt want to make it a long ordeal, so he improvised the shot, and Spielburg liked it and rewrote the scene.
That intro was gold (you know what i mean?) Thank you so much for the reaction video, i had good time seeing you react to this movie. I send you (mentally) a lot of good vibes to help you in your hard times, hoping you will get through it nicely. ;)
One of my best friends from college wanted to be an archeologist as a kid because of the Mummy movies. When she realized that would mean being covered in dirt, in heat, and dealing with bugs she decided to follow her other passion, art.
Growing up I had a Dog named Indiana because in the last crusade you learn that he gets his adventurer name from his dog Indiana. “I got a lot fond memories of the dog”
Growing up, I owned a dog I named 'Ben'. As an adult, my wife and I chose 'Ben' for our first boy. Actually, I didn't tell her about my dog, but I was thinking about this movie.
Same. Raiders and Last Crusade made a perfect double feature. Never been a big fan of Temple of Doom and Kingdom of a Crystal Skull goes without saying, but Raiders and Last Crusade are damn near perfect.
@@VegetaLF7 I didn't hate Crystal Skull as much as A) I thought I would and B) as much as other Indy fans hate it. I genuinely enjoyed how they touched upon the topic of aliens, a topic in movies that can either work or fail. It had a lot of cringey moments, but I did have a fun time watching it. But yes, Last Crusade is basically a masterpiece for me as far as the Indiana Jones films are concerned! Has my favorite quotes, my favorite action scenes, and my favorite character moments.
And makes us want to watch Citizen Kane again. Spielberg (and/or Lucas) had fun recreating the final sequence of Kane's endless warehouse. Also, I'd guess the Nazi insignia burning off the crate was probably inspired by the effect when the Rosebud lettering burns off the sled.
I used to work at a college that had an archeology major, and I met several students who were definitely motivated by Indiana Jones to go into the field.
Were they disappointed? Indiana Jones was an international criminal rather than an archaeologist. Thievery, tomb raiding/robbing and the wanton destruction of historical sites not really a part of the archaeological discipline! 😂
This was so fun! I think you’d probably enjoy Romancing the Stone and its sequel, Jewel of the Nile - two fab movies from the 80s with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Also, please could you consider reacting to Practical Magic? 😁 Thank you!
In the novelization and comic book adaptation, they explained the Indy tied himself to the periscope of the submarine with his whip to get to the isand.
32:10 this is the scene that will inspire years later ScyFy show "Warehouse 13", a show where a top secret gov organisation Tracks, and collects Artifacts with supernatural powers to have them out of reach from the wrong hands and stocked in the Warehouse 13
The John Williams appreciation puts a big smile on my face. He is a genius. He did Star Wars, Harry Potter 1-3, Indy, Jurassic Park, Superman, E.T., Jaws, Tintin, and BFG. He's the most Oscar nominated living person ever.
@@RobertSmith-kb3jl - the placeholder music (temp music) that George Lucas had before hiring John Williams included classical music (from Holst etc.) and he essentially asked John Williams to write music like that, so the similarities are at the request of Lucas. Every film composer deals with temp music and every film composer therefore borrows and is inspired by preexisting music. John Williams is simply more famous so the times he’s done it get more spotlight, but in reality John Williams is just as creative and original as the next composer, to say the least.
The government guy that told Indy "top men" were working on the Ark, well, he was Porkins in Star Wars A New Hope. Porkins was an X-Wing pilot who was killed while battling the first Death Star. He has acted in many of the biggest films of his day.
This series was all about Lucas and Spielberg recreating their favorite action-adventure serials of the 1930s and 40s. Thus all the tropes like the "cheesy" dramatic lighting, maniacal laughter, etc.
This is what Red Skull meant In Captain America The First Avenger when he said, "And the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert."

23:07 Nat: "Indy, do you even know how to fly the plane?". Indy: "Fly? Yes. Land? No!".
Rather ironic foreshadowing of Harrison's own trouble with planes
@@VegetaLF7 Harrison Ford is perfectly capable of landing a plane. Not necessarily on a *runway*, though.
Came here to write this exact thing :D
How hard could it be?
Harrison never learned to land.
"I wanna be an archeologist."
"There's spiders."

"So... theater seems nice."
Indiana Jones; Archeologist, hero, horse thief. I loved that line.

Now they’re mostly a part of the Rainbow Ridge ( look it up ) or some other type of mile marker
I recently read a book called "Bigfoot and the Bodhisattva" where this is a plot point, the protagonist is a Himalayan yeti who lives off the brains of dead climbers and kind of absorbs their knowledge and memories that way, so now he's well-versed in the culture of the sort of western well off hipster dudes who think going for a deadly climb on one of the most dangerous mountains in the world is a nice way to "find yourself" or some other nonsense.
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Cool, I'll have to find that book
and now these corpses are ilestones for other climbers, could be worse

Sounds like another movie Ford was in...
John Williams has influenced the emotions of moviegoers in some of the most iconic movies ever made with his scores. He is brilliant.
Truly. So many great soundtracks. These notes are part of some of our DNA. We hear this music when we're doing virtually anything, without knowing it. I cannot imagine a life without his music.
John Williams is his own genre of music.
His run through the 1970s to the 1990s is beyond impressive. Like, how does a single man compose:
- the iconic Superman theme
- the entirety of the Star Wars soundtracks, including several major iconic themes like the opening one and the Imperial March
- the Indiana Jones soundtrack
- the Jurassic Park soundtrack
- the ET soundtrack
- the Home Alone soundtrack
and I'm leaving Harry Potter out because that's 2001 but holy shit Hedwig's Theme is another masterpiece. And I'm sure I'm missing something. That's more tunes that literally billions of people remember so well they could hum them on command than... probably anyone else has ever composed. In history. It's hard without hindsight to tell who will be remembered in the future the way Mozart or Beethoven are remembered today, but I feel like John Williams is a good bet.
Amen. Someone said the most influential genre was classical music. Then talked about John Williams. I can't listen to John Williams without seeing the film in my minds eye...if you will. Yes!! His score is why Prisoner feels like the best HP movie. He is our emotional nostalgia. May James Horner ST 2 and Braveheart have the same scope and scale?
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi And also the Hook soundtrack which is my absolute favorite of the more 'lesser referenced' soundtracks. And the Jaws theme (although I've never actually seen that movie).
The guy covered in spiders is Alfred Molina - who later played Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 with Tobey Maguire.
I was watching this on my lunch break and almost had to turn it off when the tarantulas were on his back. Natalie's screaming had my coworkers thinking I was watching an adult movie
Wow, your co-workers are into some very kinky stuff.
I've learned to set the volume to somewhere between 30 and 50 percent and just keep it there (when I'm watching one of her videos).
Just as you said, this hit the spot after a long work day. Had a lot of fun watching this again with you. The coathanger got you!!!
This movie was made in the style of and paid homage to the serials of the 1930s. They were short segments that ended with cliffhangers that were picked up in the next segment (next week, next month, whatever). A fun, adventurous romp.
Yep, John Williams... probably our greatest living composer. Always love hearing your appreciation for how the soundtrack adds to a film. And just remember... this movie, with faces melting, heads exploding, and a guy being chopped up by a plane propeller... is rated PG, and the Matrix, where there's barely any blood, is rated R. Riddle me that.
Rated R for existential dread.
Interesting fact - Tom Selleck was originally cast as Indiana Jones but couldn’t get out of his contract for Magnum P.I.
@Techno Pirate That was a fun flick. Put "The Man From Snowy River" on that shelf, too!
Ironically writers went out on strike,giving Tom Selleck the freedom to do Raiders...to late Harrison Ford was cast,pre production had started.
Which makes the wardrobe choices in Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers all the funnier.
@@swrennie - May as well add Crocodile Dundee, while we are at it. 😉
Yep. Though Harrison came up first in casting, but ironically it was George Lucas who was against the casting - maybe because he was afraid people would think he couldn't make a hit movie without Ford lol.
“That’s a horrible Nazi monkey.”
Best sentence ever!
Lol”
Pretty much every Gen-X will tell you some of their first childhood movie theater trauma came from this movie. Two words: propeller & melting. 😪
Also the next movie: Kali Maa, Shakti de!
Extra word - spiders
It was Gozer for me. For some reason as a kid, that bubble wrap body suit of a costume freaked me the hell at the time.
Moleram pulling out the Heart in Temple was mine. I could never watch that fucking scene without running out of the room. But Moleram's theme song had a hot beat.
I have three words for you, that bring far more psychological trauma:
Swamp. Of. Sadness.
Your response makes remember our joy first watching these films. You are a delight!!!
That spider reaction is the best Natalie moment ever. 😂
That was the most intense reaction to tarantulas I've ever seen.
i.e. standard reaction for me.
So, damn, many of them...
Natalie should stay lightyears away from the classic "Kingdom of the Spiders" with William Shatner. Although that is a great movie too! :)
Such a great reaction. One of the things you realize when watching this movie in 2021 is that Marion was 15 when she had an affair with 27 year old Indiana Jones. No wonder she hated him. It does kind of make sense that the U.S. government wouldn't have had any troops in the region since it was set in 1936, way before the USA had entered the war or built up its standing arming. The ending also reminds me of Warehouse 13, one of the best TV shows ever.
I know that the "warehouses" supposedly pre-date the events of this film, but yeah, that was my first thought when they showed the inside of the Warehouse the first time.
The ending bookends the start. The Ark started out hidden from the eyes of man in a tomb, and ends up hidden from the eyes of man on a secret warehouse.
That rock boulder was 800 pounds of styrrofoam so he really was running for his life!
Am I the only person whose mind was blown when they found out that John Rhys - Davies, who plays Indiana Jone's friend (Sallah) in Cairo, also played Gimli in Lord of the Rings ?!!
I came here to make that same comment. Not to mention the professor from Sliders.
Not to mention he also did the voice of Treebeard in lord of the rings as well
@@GoatHeadWalletProdt , that's awesome I didn't know that. It makes sense, he has an incredible voice.
JRD has been in a lot of stuff. A long career and he consistently got work. And he is never bad.
I had watched Indiana Jones many times before Lord of the Rings came out so I had the same reaction when I saw Gimli. 'OMG!! That's the guy (Sallah) from Indiana Jones"
The sudden tarantulas reaction was priceless. Definitely a "sinking in my seat cuz I'm laughing so hard" moment.
Another interesting factoid is that Indy and Belloq started off as friends when they younger, until Belloq stole one of Indy's research papers that he had been working on and took all the credit for it. It was so good that it made Belloq a household name in archaeology. Indy was never able to prove it was his. Belloq has been stealing from Indy his whole life.
That makes no sense, given that Belloq is the much older archeologist from whom Indy steals back the golden cross in the 4th movie, as a teenager. Unless you're pretending that the 4th movie doesn't exist? LOL
@@TheAlmaward 1st correction, the Cross of Coronado was claimed and reclaimed by Indy in the THIRD movie, not the 4th. 2nd correction, the guy who took the Cross of Coronado and that Indy got said Cross back from wasn’t Belloq, but a random other older man only referred to as Panama Hat.
That warehouse scene at the end became the elevator pitch for the old SyFy-channel show "Warehouse 13" where you follow the caretakers of a storage facility where dangerous supernatural artifacts are kept safe from the public.
Warehouse 13 is one of my favourite series
It's a bit of a silly show, but I liked it.
That and Eureka.
@@wtimmins me too. Also The Librarians
I always thought the warehouse was located in Area 51.
Old??? Dude, come on. It's bad enough that I wanna slap Peter Parker for calling Empire Strikes Back and Aliens old...
I've called this the best movie ever made. It's got everything: drama, action, humour, romance, morals... great performances, fantastic writing, INCREDIBLE music.... It's just a masterpiece.
Even though Indy has no impact on the outcome of the movie?
Hard to disagree!
I constantly have to think to myself which movies come close... I usually end up with some combination of Empire, Aliens, Conan, SPRyan, Dune, LOTR, Patriot Games, Close Encounters, New Hope, Predator, Wrath of Khan, Heat, Time Bandits, Tron Legacy, ST Into Darkness, Goonies, and yes, Flash Gordon.
@@recrdholdr Of course, because it's not the ENDS that matter, it's the journey.
@@recrdholdr Why would that matter though...? Is the title character's impact on the story a clinch point for you to enjoy the movie - or were you just semi thoughtlessly reitterating some tired pop culture reference?
"This doesn't belong in a museum." LOL, gonna remember that line....
"It's not the years, it's the mileage."
One of the greatest movie quotes of all time.
My favorite B Day card I ever gave someone was one for my dad that said that and when you opened it the Indiana Jones theme played.
It's great because it is true.
And used with increasing frequency as I get older....
Also ad-libbed by Ford.
I’m definitely feeling that quote as I get older
A lot of Steven Spielberg movies are tributes to the older serial movies like Buck Rogers, The Perils of Pauline, Flash Gordon, the Tarzan movies and Zorro etc.
Helps this was created by George Lucas, the king of B-movie serial adventure homages.
@@scottb3034 So very true.
OMG! I had to pause the vid I was laughing so much when Nat reacted to the bug scene at the beginning! literally in tears laughing so much it hurts!
At 28:50, the actor playing Rene didn't actually swallow the fly. They said the fly flew off when he closed his mouth, but the editor removed a few frames to make it look like it got eaten.
"Where is the American Army?!" - Nat and also everyone 3 years later in 1939
The US was rather isolationist back then. :)
Probably busy letting the Canadians do all the hard work, as usual! 😀
@@t0dd000 the good old days. When American government ( mostly ) minded their own damn business lol!
At the time, the US Army was something like the 17th largest in the world.
(And roughly none of it was in Europe or Africa.)
Underarmed, undertrained, unmechanized, largely demobilized, and not at war with anyone.
19:58 In the original release you could see reflections on the glass wall between Indy and the snakes. These were mostly removed in the 2003 DVD edition.
6:54-7:08 - Alfred Molina's first real gig in a major Hollywood production involved him being covered with spiders. Flash forward 23 years, and he's playing one of the all-time best Spider-Man villains in one of the all-time best superhero movies.
Goes from "covered in spiders" to "villain with 8 limbs". Coincidence?!
@@glamazon6172 "Guy named Otto Octavius winds up with 8 limbs. What are the odds? HOFFMAN!!!"
I think I heard it was his first day of shooting, too. Imagine that-- you get a real acting job, and on your first day, it's "Okay, so here's all the bigass spiders we're gonna put on you." "The what, now?" ...Not only that, but they weren't moving around enough at first, so I can only assume that really dragged out the amount time spent covered in them, while they figured out how to make them crawl around.
@@frigginjerk I heard somewhere that they were all males and they didn't move around enough for Spielberg's tastes, so they added a female to get them really scurrying.
after this he was in Frieda, ad c
Nat humming the theme, then “oh shite, I got stuck..” 🤣 I love this channel.
Hiya Natalie! Just finished watching you r reaction to this. I've been catching up with quite a few of your videos of movies I have enjoyed over the years. Late last night I watched all 3 parts from your -LOTRs: Return of the King (I'm a big LOTRs/ Hobbit film fan. ), then I watched your Gladiator video also. I swear your reactions are very entertaining lol! I had just started eating some dinner when the spider scene came up, I LOL so hard I had tears streaming on my face!😂😂
It was hysterical! I was surprised you were fine with the ton of snakes scene. 😁
I loved that scene myself though my Mother had a hard time watching. 😁 My (late) Mom enjoyed the movie because she and her brothers grew up watching the old Serial movies as kids. From the time I saw HF in SW as a teen in the 70's, had had a huge crush on him for some years lol. He was perfect as Indy. I'm a big movie fan depending on what the movie is, grew up watching the classics on TV and going to the theaters. 🎥 @nataliegold
I'm guessing she didn't realize when Marion said, "I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it!" that she was 15 when they were romantically involved and Indy was about 25 at the time. Just makes that scene hit so much harder.
That wasn't in the novel or the script. Kasdan's script actually had Marion as Belloq's romantic interest. Karen Allen improvised her own backstory. (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Ravenwood#Concept_and_creation ).
- PS - Though it would sound creepy today to have a 25 year old Indy and a 15-16 year old Marion romantically involved... in 1920's Nepal, she was probably kind of old to not be married.
Yeah, that didn't age well. I forget when I first realized what that meant. Yeek
in the cut scene he actually said "you were 14 you knew what you were doing" - i assume 14 was the age of consent in the early 1900s.... still gross though
Even back then it was not acceptable. Just awareness and repercussions were a lot more up to people on hand
@@Mr.Ekshin It was in the novelization of the film. Doesn't matter who came up with the concept. It's in the movie. Also, just because something is legal, doesn't make it right, no matter what year it is.
Natalie: "Indy, do you even know how to fly the plane?"
Indy: "Fly? Yes! Land? No!"
Ah, yes, the Launchpad McQuack school of piloting.
Yes, how many of us said that line out loud when she asked that?
actually, Fords' skill in landing that plane with no power was excellent
@@bbb462cid He has had many landing issues in real life.
@@jp3813 oh so now I stand proxy for Harrison Ford? OK fine. Tell me what his "landing issue" was in the event I described.
I come here because Natalie always makes me smile and feel happy.
I almost cried laughing when she began channeling Rain Man @ 30:06 :P
So Natalie I have some new recommendations for you:
1. Attack of the Mutant Spiders
2. The Spider that Ate the Jersey Turnpike
3. Honey I Blew Up the Tarantula
4. When I Married Spiderman This Was Not What I Expected
5. Spiders: Our Fuzzy Friends Who Only Bite Occasionally
Somehow I think that those recommendations are not entirely on the up-and-up.
6. arachnophobia
It's funny that her list of careers she wanted to go into didn't include arachnology.
Don't forget Starship Troopers! They're technically not spiders, but close enough lol
The Fly (1986)
"Oh no, the monkey's evil!" - not the words I expected to hear today :D Or any day ;)
You and I lead *very* different lives.
Fun fact: The sub used in this movie was made for Wolfgang Petersen's movie 'Das Boot' that was still in pre-production. Spielberg didn't want to build a U-boat so he got Petersen to rent him his full-scale replica for a couple of days filming. The 'U-boat' was barely navigable and only included an empty metal hull and an engine. The night Spielberg finished that part of his shoot, a storm hit the replica and sank it. The 'Das Boot' production has searched local shorelines/fished up pieces and reconstructed their replica as best as they could.
The story has a happy ending as even without their original full-scale U-boat 'Das Boot' was nominated for 6 Oscars and was a commercial success (and considered one of the best war movies of all time). Much of the film's budget was spent on U-boat replica/sets.
Man I watched that movie in the theater when I was 10, I had to beg my sister who was older to go with me to the movie. She really didn't want to go because she thought it was some silly kids movie. By the end when we left the theater she was like, "that was a great movie!". Thanks for bring back great memories.
i loved marion so much i wish she was in all of them smh
she was the only leading lady in the series that wasn't insufferable for one reason or another lmfao
Amen
She was actually great in Crystal Skull too.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 6 years old, and it changed my life forever. I have seen it probably 100 times since, literally. For me, it's the best movie ever made, and I can still remember the feeling I had watching it as a kid -- it's the feeling I've been chasing ever since. Because of it, I LOVE movies, and I love being told a story, and it's the reason I find myself doing things like watching other people watching and reacting to movies :)
Harrison Ford - American Graffiti
Also, thumbs up for that first scream. Oh my god!
the truck chase is still to this day the greatest action sequence ever put to film.
But why did they put in that 'car going off the mountain road' bit? Tanis and Cairo are in the Nile Delta -- they're _barely_ above sea level. (I know -- it does look cool.)
I know right.
Chris Stuckmann gushes over it and for good reason.
He explains it so well in his Problem With Action Movies Today video, how the vulnerability of the main hero is integral to the art of an action movie, how to utilise aspects of filmmaking to make you root for the hero.
Note how in the truck sequence, when Indy gets shot in the arm the music changes and becomes more dire. Then the soldier comes back, punches him IN THE GUNSHOT WOUND, throws him out of the cabin, and then he has his “coming back from the brink” moment where through his own effort regains the high ground and kicks that guy’s ass.
It’s god tier action movie making.
19:59 I just can't watch that scene anymore without thinking about "Elderly potheads, why did it have to be elderly potheads"
This week on Natalie Quotes Out of Context: "I've never felt like the sound a whip was so relieving."
Nat did seem kind of fixated on that whip. Hmm
Lol totally nonsequeteur.
right then 🤣
Freudian slip? Nah...
She's about to get one for home purposes ;)
I remember one film critic describing this movie as: 2 hours of watching Harrison Ford go from the frying pan into the fire.
That is a critic quote for all four masterpiece films!!!!!!!!!!!
14:08 the actor that played him also plays Gimli in lord of the rings. Also he's like 6'4" and played a dwarf which is hilarious.
"Belloq's staff is too long."
That's what she said.
"They're digging in the wrong place."
That's what HE said.
who would sleep with Bellosh!?!??? The fuerrer! THtas whose!
Lol as a PhD candidate in anthropology who does research on museums ….. I get your realization of …. “Am I doing this to be Indiana Jones?” Lol
I understand the dialogue about representation, but Alfred Molina has been a shapeshifter over the decades. He was South American in this movie, Mexican in Maverick, and whatever he was in the Spider-Man movies.
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is an all time favorite!
For classic film fans (who don't know), the final warehouse shot is a tribute to Citizen Kane.
Another great movie with Karen Allen to watch is Starman. Directed by John Carpenter
Thank you for this reaction video! Didn't realize it had been a while since I last rewatched this series. I first watched this in the 90s when we were visiting a maternal relative and I think this was the first time I actually realized how magical movies can be.
7:07 Ah, savor the irony. The subtitles read "whimpers softly", as Natalie screamed loud enough to crack the plaster.
Most people in the summer of 1980: I want to be an archeologist when I grow up.
Me in the summer of 1980: I want to be a film composer when I grow up.
“There’s the whip! YES!” 😉😂
“I never though the sound of a whip was so relieving!” 👏🏼😂
Well it sounds kinda kinky when you put it that way! LOL
fun fact, when indie shoots the guy with the sword it was actually improvised. there was supposed to be this big fight scene but harrison ford was ill and suffering a severe case of diarrhea so he just shot the guy instead.
That was the most visceral reaction to the spiders I've ever seen.
When I found out Salah is played by the same actor who plays Gimli it blew mind
One thing I love about these films is that the paramount logo at the beginning always fades into the movie.
Fun fact! The scene with the swordsman was actually scripted to be a long drawn out shot, but Harrison Ford was actually dealing with dehydration and food poisoning and didnt want to make it a long ordeal, so he improvised the shot, and Spielburg liked it and rewrote the scene.
And how is that fun?
@@eatsmylifeYT I just love movie trivia, and was tickled when I learned about the improv
I think I may have heard that before, but I’d forgotten! So cool! I love when improv is kept in the movie
Han did shoot first....
@@jonathanmorgantini8634 And? How does you liking movie trivia make it fun for me and the rest?
You handled that spider scene really well. LOL great reaction!
That intro was gold (you know what i mean?)
Thank you so much for the reaction video, i had good time seeing you react to this movie. I send you (mentally) a lot of good vibes to help you in your hard times, hoping you will get through it nicely. ;)
One of my best friends from college wanted to be an archeologist as a kid because of the Mummy movies. When she realized that would mean being covered in dirt, in heat, and dealing with bugs she decided to follow her other passion, art.
Growing up I had a Dog named Indiana because in the last crusade you learn that he gets his adventurer name from his dog Indiana. “I got a lot fond memories of the dog”
And George Lucas named the character Indiana after HIS dog....who was the inspiration for Chewbacca.
I have a friend who's Maine Coon Cat is named Indiana.
Growing up, I owned a dog I named 'Ben'. As an adult, my wife and I chose 'Ben' for our first boy. Actually, I didn't tell her about my dog, but I was thinking about this movie.
@@douglascampbell9809 Maine Coons are the BEST cat breed (just my opinion though). Especially if you want a needy 25 pound lap cat!
Me: Remember that time Doc Ock was covered in spiders?
Natalie: *UNCONTROLLABLE SCREAMING*
The Last Crusade is my favorite of the series, so I can't wait to see you revisit that one!
Same. Raiders and Last Crusade made a perfect double feature. Never been a big fan of Temple of Doom and Kingdom of a Crystal Skull goes without saying, but Raiders and Last Crusade are damn near perfect.
RIP Sean Connery :(
@@VegetaLF7 I didn't hate Crystal Skull as much as A) I thought I would and B) as much as other Indy fans hate it. I genuinely enjoyed how they touched upon the topic of aliens, a topic in movies that can either work or fail. It had a lot of cringey moments, but I did have a fun time watching it. But yes, Last Crusade is basically a masterpiece for me as far as the Indiana Jones films are concerned! Has my favorite quotes, my favorite action scenes, and my favorite character moments.
The end of this movie makes me want to rewatch Warehouse 13 more then it does to watch the other movies.
The best part of Indiana Jones Kingdom is seeing the warehouse and the Ark again :)
I'm thinking the same.
Lol I love that show
@@CrazeeAdam That whole movie was actually pretty fun up until the ending. Cate Blanchett was especially good, imo.
And makes us want to watch Citizen Kane again. Spielberg (and/or Lucas) had fun recreating the final sequence of Kane's endless warehouse. Also, I'd guess the Nazi insignia burning off the crate was probably inspired by the effect when the Rosebud lettering burns off the sled.
I hope you feel better Natalie! Your channel has been great! Thanks for sharing your art with us.
I used to work at a college that had an archeology major, and I met several students who were definitely motivated by Indiana Jones to go into the field.
Were they disappointed? Indiana Jones was an international criminal rather than an archaeologist. Thievery, tomb raiding/robbing and the wanton destruction of historical sites not really a part of the archaeological discipline! 😂
This was so fun! I think you’d probably enjoy Romancing the Stone and its sequel, Jewel of the Nile - two fab movies from the 80s with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Also, please could you consider reacting to Practical Magic? 😁 Thank you!
In the novelization and comic book adaptation, they explained the Indy tied himself to the periscope of the submarine with his whip to get to the isand.
32:10 this is the scene that will inspire years later ScyFy show "Warehouse 13", a show where a top secret gov organisation Tracks, and collects Artifacts with supernatural powers to have them out of reach from the wrong hands and stocked in the Warehouse 13
Yes! She needs to watch it lol
I loved that show!
The John Williams appreciation puts a big smile on my face. He is a genius. He did Star Wars, Harry Potter 1-3, Indy, Jurassic Park, Superman, E.T., Jaws, Tintin, and BFG. He's the most Oscar nominated living person ever.
Also John Wayne’s The Cowboys.
Very much in the style of Wagner and Holtz. The Imperial March from Star Wars is almost a direct copy of Mars - Bringer of War from Holtz The Planets.
@@RobertSmith-kb3jl - the placeholder music (temp music) that George Lucas had before hiring John Williams included classical music (from Holst etc.) and he essentially asked John Williams to write music like that, so the similarities are at the request of Lucas.
Every film composer deals with temp music and every film composer therefore borrows and is inspired by preexisting music. John Williams is simply more famous so the times he’s done it get more spotlight, but in reality John Williams is just as creative and original as the next composer, to say the least.
The government guy that told Indy "top men" were working on the Ark, well, he was Porkins in Star Wars A New Hope. Porkins was an X-Wing pilot who was killed while battling the first Death Star. He has acted in many of the biggest films of his day.
We're ignoring the fourth one? Excellent, Nat's reaction to that is the correct reaction to that.
It is entertaining as long as you go into it with the assumption that everything you see will be utterly stupid.
@@TorIverWilhelmsen You might want to get really drunk first as well.
What fourth one? The series ended with Indy and his father riding off into the sunset.
Crystal Skull was fun up until the ending. Cate Blanchett was good.
When you said there were memories "burned" into your brain, I felt that.
This may be my favourite reaction yet! The intro 😂 and the arachnid screams 🤣🤣🤣
This series was all about Lucas and Spielberg recreating their favorite action-adventure serials of the 1930s and 40s. Thus all the tropes like the "cheesy" dramatic lighting, maniacal laughter, etc.
