The backdrop of ...a rivalry of treasure hunters... underrated element. They mostly abandoned that in the sequels.
I love how this movie was conceived on a beach in Hawaii during the premier of Star Wars because everyone thought Star Wars would bomb!
Bill called his shot on the Boogie Nights pod being four and a half hours.
The Map Room scene is my favorite scene ever.
The music, the editing, the look on Indy's face... cinema at its best
Mark Hamill is a phenomenal voice actor.
Everybody watching this video knows this. Voice actors don’t have nearly the same cache as screen actors.
he suffers from TDS now. very sad lol
The best Joker
I first saw Raiders in 1981 when i was about 8 in a double feature with Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. One of the best nights at the cinema EVER.
High Road To China (1983) is the movie Tom Selleck did with Indy vibes.
It’s not Raiders great, but it’s a fun knock off.
Yeah, Quigley Down Under was a lot later (and also not great).
@@toddkonrad2407 💯
@@at0mly I barely remember anything about Quigley. Would only re-watch it for Alan Rickman.
@@at0mly Quigley was a "western", not an Indy knockoff
To defend the Marion thing, I had a friend in college and she only took shots. She could drink all of us guys under the table. So I think its more feasible than it seems at first glance.
My bigger nit-pick is that Marion doesn't act even a little drunk in the aftermath
There was a scene where Marion gets the DTs and Indy nurses her back to health but they decided to cut it.
38:15 - Regarding sound fx. The sound of the lid of the Ark being removed is sound designers Ben Burtt's recording of the sound of the lid from his toilet's water tank being slid off.
I actually made a 3D animated short with the ark in a masonic temple kind of setup and I used a toilet lid sound for my ark lid - maybe even because I had it in my head from the movie. It's like, that IS the sound of the Ark of the Covenant being opened
There wasn’t any actor that had a run like that, i was a Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood fan as a kid but Harrison Ford was a God for kids like myself at the time. Even In Witness he was cool as shit to us.
Even in the Mosquito Coast!
Not a single mention of the shot of the snake crawling through the opening in Marion's high heel... very surprised
That Jimmy Butler award didn’t age well
"Arthur's Theme" is still a banger, though, don't get it twisted.
Re the Indiana Jones hat, when the first incarnation of the store Banana Republic hit stores, it was right around the time ROTLA hit theaters, and BR originally had more of an "Indiana Jones" vibe in the clothing, and the Indiana Jones hat was one of the store's signature items.
suggestions for future Rewatchables (unless they have been covered already unbeknown to me, of course): The Hunt For Red October, Working Girl Hanna and Her Sisters, Platoon, unforgiven, Annie Hall, The Apartment, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Taxi Driver-
This movie is constant action...but modern reactors have called it slow.. Changing perspectives...
And changing attention spans
Modern reactors called it slow. You must follow abject morons.
Would’ve been crazy if Coppola directed a Star Wars movie in the late 70s/early 80s.
I would say alien and Star Wars was the beginning of “new movies “
I had a Betamax tape with Raiders, Superman 2 and Empire Strikes Back on it. That tape got played A LOT
Hi guys… cool chat about Raiders…till you all CRASH Temple of Doom… which is a F…Great Adventure of Indy! Go back and rewatch it ASAP! Was my first Indiana Jones movie and a great roller coaster ride!
37:23 - The Golden Idol that Indy is after in the opening of the movie is a Fertility Idol of the fictional Hovitos in the movie. It is a figure of a Goddess giving birth. It is based on real fertility figures of indigenous populations throughout Meso-America.
52:38 - Christopher Nolan kind of paid a combined tribute to both this 'apple' scene and the 'poisoned date' scene at the beginning of his 2023 film, Oppenheimer.
"John Paul Bonham"
@24:39 of the streaming version of the movie. Picking Nits... is it likely for a bar to have this many shot glasses on hand? @BillSimmons, your bartending experience will set me right on this.
Bill hating on monkeys in film and TV is GOLD.
I need someone to tell Bill that Jaws came out in 1975
Toht wasn’t evil enough? He was going to burn Marion’s eye out with a hot poker!
Hi there,
I’m fairly new to this channel,
And I love this content, but I’ve been looking for the video versions, but the older episodes are only the in audio, for example “The Departed “ episode I’ve found a small clip so it was recorded on video,
Please send me in the right direction …
Greetings from a new fan from Denmark….
Himmler, one of Hitler's hunchmen was really into the occult. As head of the SS he redid this castle and kinda invented all this occult history stuff for them.
The Indy scene with the FBI agents reminds me of the scene in the DaVinci Code where Robert Langdon is schooling the Swiss Guard about Catholic history.
Pretty sure they're from an earlier version of the CIA rather than the FBI

I liked the Indy-Marion relationship but the scene that threw me off was when Indy finds Marion tied up, kisses her and then ties her back up. Like, what was the point of the kiss?
Y'all not gonna keep trashing The Color Purple... It ain't personally my cup of tea but that's just mvho...it is no doubt a classic tho
Mr. Katanga looks like Clint Capella to me
1:41:50 University of Chicago
1:42:10 what is bill getting at with the "Indiana" name controversy?
KKK was founded in Indiana.
Paul Freeman as Belloq was easily one of the best villain performances of all time. Insane take to think otherwise.
Leather bomber jackets where in back then
Wayne Jenkins timestamp?
I thought it was Akira Kurosawa who "invented" the Star Wars series, not George Lucas. :)
Watch Disneys Light And Magic
You will understand how Lucas created modern film forever
Sean's right that no current guy can pull a fedora off. But you look back to the Bogart era, EVERY guy somehow served fedora realness. What happened? The old patterns were lost in a fire circa 1958? Nope, enough people just have to be doing it, it's that simple. What sane person could've predicted skinny pants for men back in the day? Yet now kids can't even remember a time when they weren't ubiquitous. You can wear a hipster stubby fedora because Johnny Depp does - it won't look good, but it won't look like a costume. But a proper 1940s film-noir-steez fedora will, the same way knickerbockers will.
I'd want the idol
It's curious that If Indy didnt exist in this story, the germans
would still meet the same fate at the end. . .and we dont care
because Indy is awesome and the movie is perfect.
Star Wars score is the best. Indy soundtrack is good, but SW is just better and more iconic.
The George Lucas beard hate is awesome
Second!!!!
It's definitely not the greatest chase scene in a movie. The French Connection is the greatest chase scene in a movie. Now you guys have to do a Rewatchables on the French Connection in honor of William Friedkin.
Lucas is a phenomenal creator and he IS a excellent filmmaker. American Graffiti, THX-1138, Star Wars are all masterfully shot and paced. Even the prequel trilogy is well shot and kinetic. He is not the greatest screenwriter and his dialogue and hand with actors leaves a lot to be desired. Saying he isn't a great director or filmmaker is not true. That's my two cents; opinions will vary.
Lucas is a great filmmaker, but not a great director. I agree American Graffiti, THX-1138 and Star Wars are amazing. But all three are early in his career, at a time most likely where Lucas was willing to listen and make changes. Star Wars is well known to have been saved in the edit. I mean look at the prequels. They are atrocious.
Did they have to use the "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" thumbnail? That movie does not exist. It's just "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
Got anything better to worry about?
@@sh19413I liked original comment. If we're gonna nerd out, let's nerd out.
jaws is 1st blocbuster..................indy perfected it...................................um, did u guys miss star wars in theaters or something?
And also, Lucas isn't a good filmmaker apparently. lmao
Raiders is better than the first Star Wars
@@zachbailey5260he’s not. He has legendary ideas though. Attack of the Clones is what happens when Lucas is left to his own devices.
@@blakeharris58 Thanks for your opinion bub
Gentlemen
Star Wars broke it first in 77
Raiders is quite simply the most perfect film ever made
Snake pit scene was dumb
lost me with your Temple of Doom takes.
First 🎉
Bil’s utter disregard of Star Wars and The hunt for red October annoys me more than it should.
Would never understand the Harrison Ford appeal.
My unpopular opinion, but Temple of Doom is the most rewatchable Indy movie.
1941 is a Great film!
Terrible
@@DMallthewayAnd you must be the all knowing judge of movies? Is there a problem with someone liking something you don’t?
@@zimmy4868 Sure have, seen 1,000s of movies, of 9 different languages. I know what I’m talking about.
@@DMallthewayI bet you’re a blast at parties
@@zimmy4868 Bring a case of beer and we’ll watch Seven Samurai.
Truly awful Temple of Doom takes. It was the perfect sequel
God, you just compared this to Fast and Furious...turned my stomach. Don't try to make me feel bad about Raiders.
CR is so annoying
What made Raiders one of the greatest movies ever, and why all the sequels suck (including Last Crusade), and why the sequels didnt even HAVE A CHANCE to be good in the first place .....Is because Lucas, the production company, and even Spielberg himself had it all wrong on WHYYYY Raiders was great........Raiders was great because it was an adult, R-Rated masquerading as a PG rated, gritty, he gets shot in the arm, dusty, badass, not jokey (which make things like the gun pull out against the sword hit harder), not silly, more like the breathing deserty David Lean feeling, and tougher film...THAN the Disney-fied CGI Temple of Doom jokey Last Crusade cheeky, Crystal Skulls Kathleen Kennedy, ridiculous kids movies that Lucas AND Spieldberg mistook for their their "Saturday Morning Serials" in their glorified Hollywood mindset.....No Spielberg (who IS of course a genius in so many ways) and Lucas; shutup about the "Saturday morning serials" crap and just make something closer to the Road Warrior than Transformers.......Raiders was great because it was tough....The jokey serial quality of all the sequel is just garbage and banal, juvenile nonsense.....But WOWWWWW Raiders was great......Saw it in the theater and it was mind blowing at the time.....We all thought it was the only action movie back that could compete with Star Wars........Got to be one of the greatest films ever.
Well Sean... the movie couldnt be more dated. Its mid at best (even if Spielberg has a ton of credit for doing that AT THE TIME)
tried watching this movie last month, its trash to mid.
Former Huge fan ...... stop listening 2 years ago ........ checking in 2 years later and this show is now Unlistenable.....Peaked at his subscribers at ONLY 100k .....par for the course ..... WOW talk about a fall from grace
Naaah, they’re still killing it. You’re trippin
you must be fun at parties
I get what you mean but they have more hits these days.
@@blakeharris58 U feel me right
Bill at 1 POINT was unrivaled KING 👑 of the HILL ...
