My favorite scene in maybe the entire movie is when Indy escapes from under the train and the Fedora guy is like "Damn" but then slowly turns to a smile because of the respect for Indy's talent and cunning. Almost brings to mind a master seeing his younger self in one of his students. He sees the same qualities in Indy that he probably has himself, and indeed the more you look at the mannerisms of this character, whoever he is, it does seem more and more as if Indiana almost based his entire personality, his entire being off this man whom he only ever shared a few words with and who offered him the parting advice "You lost today kid , but that doesn't mean you have to like it" .... a line that practically embodies the very essence of Indys character.
One of those diggers refers to the Fedora guy as "Garth", if you listen closely enough (as does the junior novelization of this movie). And I like this thought!
he saw indy as the son he never had and indy saw this stranger, as a role model because he was probably the only adult to respect his talent when his real father was too busy with work
That’s the WORST part of the entire series!! This entire sequence is just dumb from beginning to end. Edit: Even River Phoenix mocked this scene in an interview about the film. Check it on the BTS.
Unbelievable he had only five years to live while playing this role. If I was 18 doing this I’d feel on top of the world but wow 23 years is all he got.
Well, Star Wars is still happening, same with Star Trek, James Bond, and Jurassic Park. Jaws was already done at this point and besides, the only good one was the first one. They're also making an Indiana Jones 5 with Spielberg and Harrison Ford. I suppose this is actually more of a depressing fact because people can't seem to let any franchise die a natural death.
Trips to the cinema in the 80's were unbelievable , that was the best cinema had ever been oh and you forgot the back to the future trilogy , everything now is shit down the cinema nowadays
This entire scene is perfect. Explains how Indiana is an archaeologist, his religious background, using a whip, his fear of snakes, receiving his name, and wearing the classic fedora all in 10 minutes.This is why I appreciate and enjoy these older movies. They could make great introductions like this without padding it out.
@@EditedAF987 Technically it does manage to thoroughly establish just how estranged from his father Indy was even from a young age, which proved a heavy thematic element of the entire movie.
Some roles that Di Caprio played were actually originally meant for River, such as Total Eclipse and the movie about the basketball player that becomes a junkie.
Well ive been reading about james cameron considering River to play Jack in titanic on its early stages ( planning, production and stuff ) but he passed :( other movies also went to leo.
+Wyatt Button leo looked up to River phoniex and stated that he was he's idol and he saw him on the night he died and he was heart broken image if he lived what a shame him and leo would have worked together there both legends but i think river was the better actor
River Phoenix was so accurate as a young Harrison Ford. Of course, he had the opportunity to study Harrison while on the set of The Mosquito Coast - also a great film!
I’m amazed that they actually used a real train and had the actors perform and do crazy stuff on An actual train with no cgi or over the top stunts. Plus this movie has aged so incredibly well, it looks like it was made yesterday.
I always said the best movie ever made, objectively speaking is Wizard of Oz. Not because it’s a movie I particularly love, but because that movie is nearly 100 years old and has not aged a day. Especially realizing they were even more limited technology wise than some of these other gracefully aged movies were.
For me, the best part about this opening sequence is the character of Garth/Fedora in the fact that we don't know much about him. From what we know he was a grave digger for hire who was more interested in the thrill of the hunt rather than the money. In this scene he is the leader of the gang who steals the Cross and chases Indy but is the only one who has some respect for him in the end. He gave Indiana his fedora and gave him words of wisdom "You lost today kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it." because he saw himself in young Indy. It seems that adult Indiana took his sense of style and overall characteristics from this guy because he was himself from a different generation. Why he's so interesting is not what we see of him, but what we don't see. Fedora and his unknown adventures live on through Indiana Jones because of their determination and grit they both share. Without Fedora, the Nazi's would have discovered the ark, the child slaves at Pankot Palace would not have been freed, Indiana and Henry would never have gone after the grail and reconciled. That's just kind of how an unsung hero he is. Just my two cents.
I wish instead of the sequels after this one, they did one about Fedora Guy and stuff. Cause he's interesting. (Plus I still think this is my fave movie out of the movies.)
@@user-mo1re1fs4pI only know his name was Garth because my dad’s name is Garth and being a little kid, I thought it was cool that he shared a name with my dad.
@@tiaferrandino4881I think he honestly works best as a character with limited screen time to be honest. It’s a Joker/Wolverine situation where if you tell us everything about this guy, the mystique and myster surrounding him vanishes.
Wow, he got his Fedora, Whip, and phobia of snakes in this whole scene! Impressive! Damn, River nailed the role, it's a shame he had to leave us at his young age..
Actually a ,lot of people didn't know this but SPIELBERG,LUCAS & FORD choose RIVER PHOENIX to be the next actor to perform INDIANA JONES in a new trilogy in the INDY'S youth...but because PHOENIX death that plans was canceled
Romeo Garcia Gzz that would’ve been awesome to see. I can see Winona Ryder as a young Marion and they could show he origins of Indy’s relationship with Marion and her family
River Phoenix put a lot of truth and character into his role as young Indiana Jones. That's what made him a famous actor. So sad hearing that he died too young. May he RIP.
If there was anyone that could play Young Indy this damn well, it was River Phoenix. He would have been the absolute BEST Young Indiana Jones in the TV Chronicles. He looks spot on just like him, it's incredible.
I looked it up and it's actually an actor named Richard Young who plays the character, not Vic Armstrong (Harrison's primary stunt double). Would have been cool if they used Vic, though!
No, Richard Young played Fedora guy, and was a legit actor (not a double). Only thing I really remember him from is An Innocent Man, starring Tom Selleck, where he plays one of the dirty cops.
This origin scene works so well, it just sums everything up in one awesome action scene. I can appreciate brevity when done correctly. The slick transition when Indy gets the hat from teenager to adult is a wonderful touch also.
A few notes: I think they dubbed Harrison Ford's voice over Richard Young, the actor who played "Fedora." The opening scenes were shot at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. The dig site was most likely a set. The Ford Model TT stake truck and the Saxon roadster were built for the film by Unique Movie Cars in Las Vegas. When they cut to Indy on horseback, the location is Colorado, where they had access to a working train. "Dr. Fantasy's Magic Caboose" is a nod to producer Frank Marshall, whose nickname is "Dr. Fantasy" (similar tributes can be found in "Poltergeist" and "Gremlins"). Bradley Gregg, the actor playing "Roscoe," the young man in white suspenders, was a friend of River Phoenix's and was with him the night he died - he previously played Eyeball Chambers in "Stand By Me" three years earlier. Jeff O'Haco, the dark-skinned man with the glasses and the black hat, appeared in "Back to the Future" as the Libyan driver of the VW Microbus in the early scenes; he's usually credited as a stuntman.
The train scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were shot at the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, New Mexico. The locomotive numbered 484, several pieces of freight equipment and a caboose were painted to make up the circus train shown in the film.
Seriously this whole train sequence is masterful. It really explains the character of Indy without it being cheesy or stupid. If you never saw the movies before this one you are getting a crash course on the character and as a teenager no less and if you were a fan of the other films it's just a nice reminder on why you love Indy with a fun look at his life before becoming a rough and tumble intellectual/adventurer.
I'm not here for any real reason, just came to get some nostalgia. These movies were a huge part of my childhood and they really do hold up all these years later.
3:37 Noone will talk about this scene? How perfect it is, what a long shot, no camera shake, while awesome stunt performance happens in front of our eyes?
I remember first seeing this as a child on TV. I’d always been fascinated by trains ever since I was a toddler, so this was practically the only scene I remember, but at least I know I didn’t just imagine it.
Interesting detail in Williams' score here. At 6:46 as Indy enters the 'magic' car, we hear a four note melody that sounds a lot like the main musical motif in Gustav Holst's 'Uranus the Magician', from 'The Planets'. We know Williams was heavily influenced by Holst, so it's probably Williams making a little homage to one of his favourite works.
Man, I thought Indy was badass in his younger years just by watching this, but after watching the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (Which I HIGHLY recommend) i found out he goes off to fight in the Mexican Revelation THEN WW1 after this. In doing so he ends up becoming a secret service agent for the french, becoming a POW about 3 times, coming face to face with figures like the "Red Barron", serves in the trenches, survives countless battles, dogfights, car chases (even ANOTHER train chase...with...a giant mobile German cannon strapped to it.). Hot DAMN Indy, JESUS! I mean, there's even more, I just haven't watched all of the chapters yet, but yeah...he's seen some shit.
It’s kind of funny. It wasn’t until recently that it hit me Indy was supposed to be in his mid to late-30s during the movies. I thought the same thing about how much he did when he was younger that I forgot all those adventures took place over the course of 20 years and not 10
I've seen this movie 1,000 times and I still straight up jumped out of my seat and cheered when Indy/River jumped off that train and was running down the tracks!!!
The opening sequences of this clip (as well as the scene that follows--"You lost today kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it") comprise the overture to what is, without question, the greatest movie in cinematic history to date. And, if there are any dissenters out there that object to the truth of this fact, then Dr. Tyree's Philosophy class is right down the hall.
Nah. Raiders is the best. Perfect blend of action, humor, storytelling, pace, horror, suspense. Everything. It was speilbeg's favourite too. For me, this had too much gags throughout. Like temple of doom had too much horror.
Honestly this is one of the best train chases ever made. I can even go as far to say that it's better than the train fight in spider man 2 or matrix or even Speed (Don't get me wrong, i love those as well they are awesome)
I love how the dog was a set up for a great punchline and origin story, and yet such a nice little detail too of how our hero had a dog too like any lucky kid :)
Greatest opening scene of all time. It perfectly matches the adventure/action/humor of the indiana jones movies, and river phoenix does young indy perfectly

Well, the robber could've easily shot him up while on the train. I guess he admired the fact a kid managed to outsmart him.

2:07, he's got that Harrison Ford smirk DOWN. River Phoenix was perfect to play young Indy.
Yup! Only making it that much cooler.
Bluemgwes try watching the Young Indiana Jones Series. It's pretty good as well.
Bluemgwes typical “I can handle this” smirk
That’s what you get when you play Harrison Ford’s son in Mosquito Coast 3 years prior to this.
Bluemgwes apparently Harrison himself wanted River to play a young Indy
My favorite scene in maybe the entire movie is when Indy escapes from under the train and the Fedora guy is like "Damn" but then slowly turns to a smile because of the respect for Indy's talent and cunning. Almost brings to mind a master seeing his younger self in one of his students. He sees the same qualities in Indy that he probably has himself, and indeed the more you look at the mannerisms of this character, whoever he is, it does seem more and more as if Indiana almost based his entire personality, his entire being off this man whom he only ever shared a few words with and who offered him the parting advice "You lost today kid , but that doesn't mean you have to like it" .... a line that practically embodies the very essence of Indys character.
Nice thought!
One of those diggers refers to the Fedora guy as "Garth", if you listen closely enough (as does the junior novelization of this movie). And I like this thought!
Rob Acree my fave moment too mate ^^
He was the Indy of the 1800s
he saw indy as the son he never had and indy saw this stranger, as a role model because he was probably the only adult to respect his talent when his real father was too busy with work
"You lost today kid , but that doesn't mean you have to like it" ... the best line of the entire Indiana Jones franchise.

Yeah, and falls into a whole box of them and develops his famous hatred for Snakes.
Maybe he could only handle one snake....?
@Starscream91 At least they weren't venomous.
I think it’s the PTSD from this scene that snakes remind him of 😂😂😂
He picks up a garter snake and you hear a rattle on the soundtrack.
River Phoenix did a great job as a young Indiana Jones. Back when Hollywood knew how to cast roles.

I never knew that young indi was river Phoenix. It makes me extra sad to watch this scene. He would have made a great actor just like Joaquin
Casting River Phoenix to play as Young Indiana Jones was a pretty good casting choice in my opinion!
I love how the dog was a set up for a great punchline and origin story, and yet such a nice little detail too of how our hero had a dog too like any lucky kid :)
4:16 Well that explains the whole snake phobia thing
Stephen Betcher yes it would
Its called Ophidiophobia but who cares
Yeah, that'd screw anybody up.
@@waffleliberty89 People who fear snakes care, obviously 🙄
@@waffleliberty89 If you didn't care then why reply to begin with?
smiiiiileworthy...
River Phoenix
Greatest opening scene of all time. It perfectly matches the adventure/action/humor of the indiana jones movies, and river phoenix does young indy perfectly
Rest in peace river phoenix
Each of these movies started off with an awesome opening
This is why the nazis did not win the war
Some kid beat them
Lego Sparrow not just any kid river Phoenix 😂😂
Indiana jones is 117 years old :)
That's right. Birth: 1899.

I love how John Williams synchs the soundtrack to characters falling over. It really suits the adventure vibe of the films.
so i am sing along to the opening chase music to indiana jones and the last crusade feel free to join in.
these films had so much heart, its hard not to smile watching these
RIP River Phoenix such a loss. He could have been the next Leonardo DiCaprio!
he was dicaprio before dicaprio ... jack dawson was written for him :)
I think more than that.
Yea. James Cameron said he wanted River Phoenix to be jack.
"May he who illuminated this, illuminate me."
one of my favorite scenes because my dad was an artist on the train and painted those wonderful animal pictures
That moment where he almost trips at 7:33. River Phoenix nailed what it's like watching Harrison Ford run.
This entire 8 minutes is better than the Dial of Destiny
R I P RIVER PHOENIX 💓
Wait he passed?
Shnorb, yes, on October 31, 1993. He was 23.
River Phoenix really nailed Harrison Ford's mannerisms and attitude.
