For religeous reference, the Christian Bible goes into a lot of detail about the design of holy items and the tabernacle, including the ark that holds the ten commands. The holy items and shrine to God were designed to be mobile, because the Jews were still nomadic, having just escaped Egyptian slavery. A synopsis of Exodus 37: Bezalel Made the arc from acacia wood, a precious wood used as incense even today, and coated it with gold molding. Poles were created and fit through rings in the side of the box, so the whole thing could be carried. The "mercy seat," a design on the lid representing the throne of God or resting place of God upon the item, was also made of gold, and two golden cherubim, were placed on either side of the mercy seat, with their wings spread to hide the space God could "sit." There are measurements and instructions on ways the items are to be handled, kept, and displayed. LOTS of detail on this stuff. Moses laid the commandments in the arc himself, and it was kept behind a holy veil, in a particularly sacred area partitioned off from the rest of the shrine. Multiple verses say a divine cloud would descend on the tabernacle, and later, temple, when the ark was present, and the cloud burned at night.
Other Biblical accounts talk about the Isrealite carrying the arc into battles, where their enemies suffer strange effects from the wrath of God, which often sound oddly similar to radiation sickness, and there are instances of people touching the ark, who aren't supposed to, instantly dying. In 1 Samuel, the Philistines steal the ark after defeating the Isrealites and sacking their tabernacle. They bring it back to their lands and store it in their temple. In the morning they find their idols have been destroyed. This freaks them out, so they send the ark to a different city, where the inhabitants are then afflicted with tumors and misfortune. Eventually, the Philistines return the ark to the Jews, along with gifts to asuage the wrath of the Jewish God.
Fun fact: At 20:24, when Harrison Ford shoots the guy with the sword, he was originally supposed to fight the guy too, but Harrison was really sick (he contracted dysentery, a nasty intestinal bug you get from unclean water). He asked if he could just shoot the guy instead, and it turned out to be a famously funny scene.
This 80s movie is a cinematic classic which still looks and feels fantastic today. Best action adventure movie ever made in my humble opinion with Harrison Ford just brilliantly cast as Indy.
To explain what happened at the end: The wrath of god. Belloq was not as bright as he thought, and believed he’d be able to fool god by cosplaying as a rabbi. Both for this insult and for the nazis attempting to eradicate his chosen people from the planet, he killed everyone who so much as dared look at the opened Ark. Just wanted to explain since yall seemed a bit confused at the end.
The ark of the covenant was G-d's presence in Israel. In the Torah Moses is instructed how to build it, and afterwards G-d specifically said no one was to touch it or they would die. When the nazi's opened the ark G-d struck them down. The ghost was the angel of death.
@@norwegianblue2017 It comes from an ancient Judaic practice. Jews believed that God is sacred and divine. It was disrespectful to say the name of God outside of the temple in Jerusalem. Of course, the divine name of God to the Jews is YHVH. The Hebrew language was a consonant-only language - no vowels until recently. Whenever the Jews pronounced YHVH outside of the temple they would substitute a title of God (Adonai or El Shaddai) or HaShem, which means "The Name." The practice of spelling God without the vowel came into being as a form of respect toward this ancient tradition. While "God" is not God's true name and there is no specific prohibition against pronouncing it or writing it, some modern Jews have taken to the practice as a form of respect in the tradition of their revered ancestors. Note: I am not Jewish so if there are any inaccuracies in the aforementioned, I apologize. This is based on my understanding of the origins of this practice based on my own readings and studies.
The redacting the word god is as annoying as blurring womens legs, upper chest and back in RUclips movie reaction videos because some ancient book tells you that those areas of a woman are not to be seen.
But is at as annoying as someone choosing to watch a RUclips video just so they can complain and be disrespectful and unpleasant without any cause? There's no shortage of reaction videos with women's chests an legs for your viewing pleasure. You're free to go watch them instead. 🩷
Uboats actually couldn't dive for long periods of time. No submersibles in that era were capable of doing that for more than a period of hours (IIRC) before coming near the surface to snorkel and exchange air. They would dive generally only to attack, ambush, or evade. It was only during the Cold War that the modern submarine really came into being with nuclear power and more efficient electric diesel systems, as well as hull design allowing them to dive deeper than just below the water.
@@akseli66 Well I didn't say slightly, but you're right that "just below" was a bit too much of a flourish. WW2 subs, especially subs built in the 1940s rather than the 1930s, could dive down to a couple hundred feet for short periods of time. Their hulls were leaky, and they could only do this for as long as they had air, generally, but they could do this to hide for short periods of a time. It's a fraction of what cold war nuclear subs could do for weeks, if needed, but it is deeper than just below the water. What I really am talking about, though, which you surely understand from the rest of what I wrote, is that WW2 subs, and especially 1930s subs like the one in this movie (film is set in 1936), were not designed for sustained underwater operation. It was not their default mode. In peacetime and when they didn't need to hunt or evade, they would typically remain surfaced. Which is why Indy riding on top of the sub all the way back to their base isn't so crazy a stretch - because the uboat probably would have remained surfaced for the entire voyage. Of course, there isn't anywhere to hide except the spot where the sub's lookouts might come up... but it is a movie that's not firmly rooted in reality.
@@Trippyisop interjecting into a discussion you weren't a part of, adding nothing of value or substance, only to say the equivalent of "word too big, me no likey." How boring.
@@akseli66While submerged, Uboats had to use battery power. When above the water line, they had the necessary access to air for combustion and exhaust venting, both necessary for power. So easier to travel on surface. Also no. Reason to be submerged and hidden since WW2 had not yet begun.
It's very interesting how this character even came about! Spielberg was on vacation in Hawaii after doing a big film, Lucas was in Hawaii on vacation after Star Wars 2. They were hangin out, talkin about films, characters, etc. and Spielberg says to George Lucas, remember going to movies as a kid? And the in-between cliff hanger play? Would usually be about ten minutes? And it was always about a guy, who stopped evil, got the girl, folied the bad guy, saved the world? Lucas was like, yeah, those were my favorites! Spielberg says to Lucas, I kinda been thinking about a guy....Lucas tells him, u know what? I been storyboarding a character, just like that! And Indiana was born!!
Fun fact, at the start, that sound is actually Australian Kookaburra's. Their unique sound has been used in jungle scenes by Hollywood & TV for years and years. They are also used as jungle sounds in the TV series Tarzan.
Loved this! And I think those spirit things were like angels or something. Sent to destroy all those who were unworthy (because they looked at the Ark, and were Nazi's, of course) that looked at the inside of the Ark. Spielberg wrote this, in part, to be a kind of revenge against the Nazis- it's why they're shown as so incompetent ("worst army ever", as you guys said). Despite some of the craziness of this film, I love it. You just have to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story. It's meant to be a fun, action-filled ride. Glad ya'll enjoyed.
I don't think it had anything to do with worthiness. I think the ark did that to anyone worthy or not. It's to do with seeing or hearing the direct power of God. It's why in scripture god always communicates through angels.
@@edmann1820 actually the ark was used to communicate. there was a specific lineage of priests meant to do so. you had to be this lineage in order to interact with the ark.
Howdy from Texas. It's not unusual for submarines to travel long distances on the surface. Mostly because they are much faster on the surface than they are underwater.
back in that era being underwater was dangerous since they would have to be on battery power. they often either were on the surface or slightly below with a snorkel to take in air for the diesel generators and to expel the fumes. there were often a lot of deaths in early submarines not from combat but just the batteries or diesel generators killing the crew.
This was a movie, that almost came by accident!! Spielberg had finished Close Encounters, Lucas had finished Star Wars, they're on vacation in Hawaii. They started talking about going to movies as kids. Back in old times, u could go in the afternoon, and watch 2 for 1 price movies. Between them, the theater would play a short reel, usually about a guy who's a hero, catches the bad guy, stops evil, gets the girl, etc. Spielberg was like, where's that guy anymore? Lucas says, Well I kinda been thinking about and writing this character....and Indiana Jones was born! Indiana's friend here is Gimley from Lord of the rings!😮😮😮
There are tropes you simply have to accept in action movies. The inability of the bad guys to hit the broad side of a barn, set against the hero's seeming ability to shoot around corners. There are many, but the point is, it's all part of the fun :) The "drop and drag" stunt where Indy uses his whip to stay with the truck, was first used in John Ford's "Stagecoach" from 1939, another movie you should absolutely watch some day. Also, submarines don't submerge unless they have to - they're faster on the surface, and these guys were in a hurry.
You just have to go with the flow with a movie like this. It is based upon old-school action comics and low-budget movie serials. They were always long on fun and short on realism. That's what makes it magical and timeless. I think I saw this movie three or four times in the theater when I was a kid. For a long time it was my favorite movie of all time. This was my Star Wars.
The structure of the film was based on old-fashioned kid's serials in the movies back in the 1950s. This really was an amazing film to see in the theater. It served as the basis for the rest of the films. This one in my opinion is the best. A lot of humor.
I read a book about the making of this films. The tarantulas they used are a very mild mannered - and fragile species. They had to be very careful about brushing them off to avoid hurting them.
Tarantulas, in general, aren't particularly dangerous to a healthy human, though their bites are certainly very unpleasant. They rely less on venom, and more on their size, to take down prey. It's the smaller spiders that often have nastier venom. Same with scorpions. The big, nasty looking black ones often used in horror movies are fairly docile, and their poison isn't particularly dangerous.
I did read in a comment a while ago that they used male spiders but they didn't move and looked more like props, so they added a female and that made the trick.
Just an fyi, but German U-boats (the submarine) actually spent most of their time on the surface, only going under water briefly for an attack/evasion. The technology wasn't there yet for working engines under water (you need oxygen) so they used batteries, which didn't have a very long charge.
WWII submarines spent 90% of their time above water, because it was faster, better visibility, etc. and could use the engines instead of the old style low-powered batteries they had which could only power it underwater for a short while at lower speeds until they needed to surface or use the snorkel just under the surface to use the air breathing engines to recharge the batteries. Modern nuclear powered submarines can stay underwater for weeks, even turning seawater into oxygen for the crew using electrolysis.
Indiana Jones films are like a perfect balance between action/humor. The 1st and 3rd are pure gold in my opinion. The 2nd film quite a bit darker and more serious, and honestly lacks the same kind of spirit that the 1st/3rd have. It's still a good movie though. I think some hate the 2nd because it isn't quite the same as the 1st/3rd.
@@zakkpierce As CaseyQ pointed out to you, the rocket on an RPG sits at the front. I searched the scene on YT and it’s very clear that Indy has an RPG. That said, even IF it was a bazooka - those didn’t appear until 1942, which is still years after the time period of Lost Ark (and Germans didn’t have an equivalent until after they captured some U.S. bazookas - so they wouldn’t have it for that time period, no matter what)
This is one of my all time favorite movies so I makes me a little sad that younger people don’t love it as much as I do. You kinda had to be there at the time. There was nothing like this and it influenced the next 40 years of action movies. I appreciate your honesty and I love your reactions when you’re enjoying a movie. Keep ‘em coming 😄
😂 I love how you guys argue or disagree on certain matters when watching films. Too funny! And I'm glad it ends on a peaceful note bc some people can take things on a whole other level and it's ridiculous!
All spiders (and those are tarantulas) are venomous- but to varying degrees. Tarantulas in the Americas have “bee sting” level venom, but will flick irritating hairs, first. The species used in this film (almost all, actually) are Brachypelma Hamorii (common name Mexican Red Knee) because of their very mild temperament. I have one, but am still to chicken to handle her 😂
Besides doing Force ten from Navarrone and a small part In apocalypse now, he's the only guy to carry three major franchises at the same time! Indiana Jones, Han Solo and Deckerd from Bladerunner!
@@cmay7429 well, yes and no. It's been done as games, and series previously on TV. It was always planned on being more movies, but Ridley Scott was off and on about doing more, and Ford would only go if Scott was on board and the script was right. So thirty years later we got part 2!!
Indie's incredible luck is supposed to be that way. It is as though divine intervention is helping him. It becomes even more obvious and funny in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
@1:30 Alfred Molina, later played Dr. Octopus in Spiderman 2. @17:09 Johm Rhys Davis; later played Gimli (and voiced Treebeard) in Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Remember, this movie takes place in 1936, flying back then was only luxury AND that's a Pan Am plane. They were the best of the best for decades. My dad was a pilot for them when they finally went under, woke up one day and CNN told him he was out of a job. Thankfully he bounced back quickly with United. He's been retired for 20 years now. Just to let you know, you are right, that woman would not have been able to stand after that many shots. If the other dude fell over, the only chance she would have had walking for the rest of the night would be a good round of puking and drinking a lot of water. She absolutely wouldn't have landed that punch, she would have landed on her own face. Males and females have different enzymes for breaking down alcohol, and its much easier for men to break it down. For a woman, 3 shots is a lot and she would be showing signs of being tipsy by then. 10 shots would either kill a woman or give her alcohol poisoning. I have no idea how I survived my 20s. OMG, that take where he shots the big guy with the big sword was improved. Indie was supposed to beat him with the whip, but it got stuck and Harrison Ford just said f it and shot him. One of the best cinematic moments that was a total mistake.
That monkey jungle sound at the start .. was an AUSTRALIAN KUKABURRA :) Americans have been putting that noise in jungle movies for near 100 years, to the embarrassment of Aussies :) nobody else knows the sound I'm sure but it's pretty weird to an Aussie to hear it with Tarzan etc in deepest Africa :)
The Ark of the Covenant had in it the most Holy Objects of the Jews from Moses' time. Inside it was the Laws given to Moses from God, The Staff of Aaron, and a Pot of Mana. The Mana (God's bread) fell from the sky to feed the Jews while they wandered in the desert before their conquest of Canaan (Palestine) by Joshua. Since the Ark had the laws in it (the words of God) it was considered to be very Holy by the Israelites. It was placed in the Holy of Holies, first in the movable Tabernacle of God, then when King Solomon built the first permanent Temple of God in Jerusalem it was placed in the Holy of Holies in the new Temple. When the first Temple was destroyed by the Babylonian conquest it was taken as war booty and lost to history. When the Israelites came back from their exile in Babylon to Jerusalem, they did not have it.
Love this one! But my favorite Is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, soo good!!! It's not that they are trying to make Arabs look bad, it has to do with bad guy tropes. There are smart badguys like Lex Luther in Superman, and then there are dumb brute badguys like O'Doyle in Happy Gilmore. (There are plenty more badguy tropes, but those are a few common ones.)
No, that's wrong. It wasn't Hitler who was obsessed with the occult, but the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler. Hitler had no interest in the occult at all and thought Himmler's obsession was crazy. (see also Wewelsburg and the Black Sun)
@@ErnstHannes we'll have to disagree on that, since in one of his private residences or rooms, he had all types of religious paraphernalia and bits of furniture and lampshades and other things, made from human skins.
@@philmullineaux5405 you may want to look up that lampshades from human skins claim. Karl-Otto Koch was the only ever confirmed case. The SS btw pit Koch and his wife on trial and executed them after their activities were discovered.
@@philmullineaux5405 The lampshade made of human skin was discovered in the Buchenwald concentration camp after its liberation (there is also a second, larger one). It most likely belonged to Ilse Koch, the sadistic wife of the camp commandant, Karl Koch. So the lampshade was not in some ominous Hitler collection.
28:10 yes they did, you guys seem to conveniently forget that it was a time when muslim countries did not really care about their history before Islam, where other ancient faith and artifacts were considered to be "idol worship" as you put it. At best the ancient ruins were left to a decrepit state or at worse outright destroyed. For example the ottomans gave full permission to the british to loot the Parthenon and bring back some of that marble to London, on top of statues and other invaluable ancient artefacts,again all that with the full backing of the Turks. Time hasnt changed much since, yes egyptians now realize how immensely rich their ancient culture was and are going out of their way to protect it but in other parts of the muslim world the taliban blew up the Buddhas of Bamiyan (built in 500 CE) and ISIS very much tried to destroy Palmyra, the ancient city and once capital of the Palmyrene empire.
lol! ah Islam today destroys lots of artificats. Egypt has destroyed tons of museums in their own country. Look at what is occuring in Mecca even places admitted to be holy to Mohammed are being destroyed to put up hotels
Hello , i'm sorry, i'm not on Patreon, i'm just a French Guy, learning english with fun with your movies reactions !! and i've just find a real good movie for me, that seems nobody made a react on it ! "Powder" from 1995, i recommend it to you, and hope someday you'll see it ! Keep up the good work, sry for my writing, i'm still learning ;)
I honestly wanted to jump out of my skin from some of the film shocking me. I still remember. Also a friend told me that the one scene where Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones and Han Solo's actor) just wasn't feeling it. It's the scene where Indiana was about to fight the man wielding a sword. Apparently Harrison Ford had a fever or something and just wanted to get the scene over with. No fancy whip action or sword play. Which now bothers me and not my child self.
He had contracted dysentery, and apparently so had some of the other cast. You can see how sick he was, poor guy was having to run to the bathroom every ten minutes apparently.
Ahah, yes: in this movie arabs act like annoying obstacles in videogames. 😂 If you look inside the arc you see the power of God, because of the Moses tables, and as a human, who has even stolen it, you die. Anyway, I love Steven Spielberg, because he can pass from Jurassic Park and this to Shindler's List without loosing any filming quality. Of course it's full of plot armour of the main characters, like any of adventure movies of the '80s.
The ark is said to hold the stone tablets with the 10 commandments that Moses recived on a mountain top ... and thus has Godly powers ! 😉 Indiana Jones didnt wanna destroy the Ark ... that why he surrendered ... Btw. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church claims to possess the Ark of the Covenant in Axum....... 🤔🙄🧐
In a Germany not being at war situation the U-boat not submerging can be explained at follows. On the surface U-boat speed is 32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph, submerged its just 14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph. So it not submerging is quite possible if they want to get somewhere quickly.
Fun fact, the reason why the duel between indy and the swords man is because everyone was sick. During the swords man duel when Indy just shoots him, the entire time crew had good poisoning and Harrison Ford could barely go 30 with our running to the bathroom
Brilliant reaction Habibi bro's!!! You guys are funny :) Greatly look forward to seeing you doing "Temple of Doom" and "Last Crusade!!!" The original trilogy of Indiana films are fantastic.... and let's just pretend there isn't 2 others made long after the trilogy which kinda suck by comparison
Cut footage actually showed Indiana Jones hanging onto the periscope of the submarine, which stayed above water during the whole trip. In German one of the U-boot sailors actually says, "raise the periscope above the surface." Without understanding that command and without the missing footage, Indiana Jones surviving the submarine ride, has been the biggest question by critiques and fans for decades.
The thing with kids - I think the idea was, Indie's friend sent the kids in to retrieve him, thinking the Nazi's wouldn't be brazen enough to harm Indie in front of them, or injure the kids themselves, which was certainly a gamble that could have gone EXTREMELY poorly. 😬 I suppose you could give tge benefit of the doubt to the friend: maybe he didn't know just how dangerous it was when he sent the kids in.
You guys were mentioning the plot armor and skipped submarine stowaway and yeah Indy basically has super powers to be able to do all the outlandish stuff that he does. But like many other people have said its based on comics from the 40s/50s. Its supposed to be over the top and high adventure and kinda cheesy with how lucky and durable our hero is. But theres another aspect that not many have mentioned and thats the movie's timing in history. In 1981 most movies were very different than modern ones, and most movies up to that point have not aged well. This movie still holds up to this day for a reason. It still feels very modern for a reason. The movie blended humor and suspense and action and mystery, even a little noir, etc. in a way that became the blueprint in hollywood to this very day. It hits so many different beats and so quickly and effectively, mainly due to John Williams' score, that it sometimes feels jarringly fast even to the modern watcher. Back in 1981 this blew people away with how fast-paced and fun it was/is. It was like riding a modern S+ class rollercoaster when you've only ever known small wooden ones. Yes the movie is kinda ridiculous in its plot holes and incompetent bad guys, but the movie was always meant to be a fun, popcorn eating, turn your brain off and just go with it experience. One could argue it is literally the first modern popcorn action flick, although Mad Max 2 and Escape from New York also came out that year. But neither of those have the kind of humor and romance and whimsical adventure combined with the action like Raiders does, and like so many modern action movies do. This movie created a new tier of film in terms of audience fun, and that's why its so beloved today. Lastly, I have to mention the main reason why Raiders is so fun; the score. John Williams hits all these different vibes perfectly and transitions between them flawlessly. The music in the action is bombastic and completely changes the whole feel of the scenes (in a good way). Try watching the Cairo streets fight or the truck chase without the music, it feels like you're watching a completely different movie that's how much the score elevates this movie to goat status. Without John Williams this movie does not become the classic that it is imo. The score of this movie is godlike in its execution, its main motif is iconic, the performances are great, the humor lands, its fast paced while also nailing suspense and awe when it needs to... Raiders just did such a good job of combining all these different elements into a fun action adventure, that it basically is the mold (along with Star Wars) for the genre as we know it.
Over a 2,000 year period, the direction of Earth’s tilt shifts into another constellation in the sky. Also, the Earth’s axis is tilted towards or away from the Sun changes through time, in approximately 41,000 year cycles. So, because the staff was designed to funnel light through the staff over three thousand years ago, the location of the ark may no longer be as accurately indicated now as when it was when the staff was made. That is, if this stuff in the movie was real.
The medallion was made to focus sunlight. The Earth's tilt on its axis oscillates from 21.5 degrees to 24.5 degrees over 41,000 years. The Earth's tilt changes 1 degree (to the north or south) every 6,833 years. The Ark of the covenant is believed to have been built around 3,400 years ago. The Earth's tilt has changed about 0.5 degrees from the time of Moses to the 20th century. That difference was probably negligible in the Map Room. The light from the Sun is so massive that such a small change would be nothing. The Earth's tilt does not shift into another constellation in the sky. We see the same seasonal constellations of the zodiac as the Earth orbits the Sun. The very small changes in the Earth's tilt over 41,000 years does not have any effect in how we see the constellations at night.
Last bit of info, the last post on the Ark was deleted by RUclips tyrants. You have to put this movie in context. It was a movie made for American audiences back in the '80s. Every country has their films with their heroes that perform brave deeds and usually survive to the end and espouse the values of their country, well, Indiana Jones is America. Now-a-days, Hollywood makes mediocre films because they stand for nothing and are afraid to offend anyone.
A German U Boat in the WW2 era could travel about 30 km/h on the surface or less than 10 km/h underwater for 12 - 24 hours. So unless they were attacking or evading an enemy they would likely have been running on the surface.
FunFact- The scene where Jones faces off against the guy dressed in black wielding sword an Jones shoots him was supposed to go differently. Ford was sick that day of filming an didn't feel up to the fight scene where he was supposed to use his whip... instead he improved the scene with the gun instead and they kept it!
13:29 Air planes have gotten more and more cramped, as they try to put more and more people on each plane. Back in the 1940's flying was a big deal, people would dress up in their best suits if they were going on a plane. It was considered a big deal and a thing of luxury. For this reason, the seats were more spacious and the service much better too. They used to serve hot meals.
I bought an identical leather jacket from the same company, Wested of London and the leather might look tough, but it's actually very delicate. My kitten climbed up the back of the jacket while it was hanging in the closet and left claw marks all over it. It's lamb skin and easy to ruin.
Fun fact. In the Bible, there's a story (1 Samuel 5 & 6) where the Philistines go to war with Israel and take the Ark of the Covenant into their camps. At first the Ark smashes all of their idols (when they aren't looking) and then it gives them hemorrhoids. They make statues of golden hemorrhoids to please the G-d of Israel. I don't know why they didn't include that story in the movie. Of course, if the Ark is giving the Philistines bloody hemorrhoids and they were fighting a land war, what did the NAzis think it was going to do to them?
How did Indy survive outside a submarine? Ok .. subs back then, they had a diesel engine, that could not work underwater. They only go down for battle, and then rely on batteries which last only a short time then they surface to recharge them with the diesel. Its also a much faster vehicle while on the surface. So it's possible to hide on the outside as long as the trip is short and the sub is not attacked.
What came from the chest that holds the Ten Commandments is G-d's wrath for daring to presume upon his sacred works in the name of terror and genocide.
He lives because underneath his rough exterior he has a heart that is pure. He is protected by 'the hand of God'. He saved the word of God from those that would use it's power for evil. As long as people know it actually exists, there will always be someone that will crave it's power for their own. It is well hidden from those people. Until mankind grows up and learns how to pull it's head OUT of it's BUTT...it will stay where it is.
You'll have to watch the rest of them (except the new one - it wasn't very good). And one other thing that would be awesome for you to watch would be the 1956 film version of "The Ten Commandments." Its an epic film and a bit long but I think you'd enjoy it. Its filmed in technicolor. It stars Charleton Heston and Yule Brenner among many other stars of the day.
The reason Indy and Marion survived God's visitation is they did not look at God's Glory. Just like LOT not looking back at Sodom, but his wife did and was destroyed. The old man who translated the medallion said that no one must look at God's Work. Indy remembered that but that line was deleted from the movie.
LOL there are passages in the Bible saying to not look into the Ark as well as other texts saying those who opened the Ark and were not of the proper Jewish lineage were to die.
Regarding these lighthearted adventure movies with humorous aspect as Indy or Pirates of Carribean, you - as you liked Back to the Future - might like Ghostbusters and also Beetlejuice (being relevant, having sequel this year after 36 years with mostly same actors), those are something of comedy-horrors of the 80s (more funny than scary).
You guys should do a reaction to "Ip Man (2008)" its one of my all time favorites even though its in Cantonese, I've watched the german dubbed and original w subtitles. Idk if theres a good English dub tho Either way its an amazing movie and ill pray you guys do it one day. Absolutely love your channel guys.
Definitely recommend that is my favorite martial arts film, and I highly suggest just watching the normal version with subtitles, dubbed movies are all trash all the time. People can read subtitles and should for stuff like that.
I strongly advise you to watch the German movie 'Das Boot', which is considered as one of the best war movies ever and explains a lot about WWII submarines.
“Worst army ever,” yeah, that’s why we kicked their butts lol 😆 Anyways, recommend watch the next two films, the second one is a hit or miss, but you get a feel for the Indiana Jones hype. The ride at Disneyland is based off of the second movie but mixed with other ideas. The third on is a great one, people have a hard time picking that one or the first one as their favorite.
The Ark of the Covenant is a wooden chest coated with gold. Inside there are the stone tablets with the ten commandments, given to the Hebrews through Moses.
Biblically speaking, Solomon hid the ark. Either in a catacomb in Jerusalem, underneath where Jesus was crucified, so his blood would leak onto the top of it, because the top is called The Mercy Seat of God- so He would see His Son's blood and forgive sins, or took it to his wife Sheba, in Ethiopia. There has been an Ethiopian guard for 3000 years, over where it's hidden, along with fake copies. But the guards NEVER leave! Supposedly every member of the royal family has seen the ark, since 1000 ad!
I saw this in the theaters when it came out, so I must have been 10 or 11 years old. Everything I saw on film I thought was real back when I was a kid. Why would the ancient Egyptians need a map room to point to the location of the Ark? The only people that would need that map room would be someone from thousands of years in the future if the whole area was buried in sand. So that part of the film, the map room, doesn't make sense.
@@toomanyaccounts They don't need a staff and bronze medallion for that. The guide could just point to the area on the map or actually show them around the city. The bronze medallion, staff, map room were just for the treasure hunt of discovering the Ark after like 2000 years of it being lost? It's a fun scene, just doesn't make sense if you start to wonder why the ancient Egyptians would need this map room and holes and staffs and the sun at the right time of day to point to a secret location, that was above ground in a temple near the center of the city.

For religeous reference, the Christian Bible goes into a lot of detail about the design of holy items and the tabernacle, including the ark that holds the ten commands. The holy items and shrine to God were designed to be mobile, because the Jews were still nomadic, having just escaped Egyptian slavery.
A synopsis of Exodus 37: Bezalel Made the arc from acacia wood, a precious wood used as incense even today, and coated it with gold molding. Poles were created and fit through rings in the side of the box, so the whole thing could be carried. The "mercy seat," a design on the lid representing the throne of God or resting place of God upon the item, was also made of gold, and two golden cherubim, were placed on either side of the mercy seat, with their wings spread to hide the space God could "sit." There are measurements and instructions on ways the items are to be handled, kept, and displayed. LOTS of detail on this stuff. Moses laid the commandments in the arc himself, and it was kept behind a holy veil, in a particularly sacred area partitioned off from the rest of the shrine. Multiple verses say a divine cloud would descend on the tabernacle, and later, temple, when the ark was present, and the cloud burned at night.
Other Biblical accounts talk about the Isrealite carrying the arc into battles, where their enemies suffer strange effects from the wrath of God, which often sound oddly similar to radiation sickness, and there are instances of people touching the ark, who aren't supposed to, instantly dying. In 1 Samuel, the Philistines steal the ark after defeating the Isrealites and sacking their tabernacle. They bring it back to their lands and store it in their temple. In the morning they find their idols have been destroyed. This freaks them out, so they send the ark to a different city, where the inhabitants are then afflicted with tumors and misfortune. Eventually, the Philistines return the ark to the Jews, along with gifts to asuage the wrath of the Jewish God.
Fun fact: At 20:24, when Harrison Ford shoots the guy with the sword, he was originally supposed to fight the guy too, but Harrison was really sick (he contracted dysentery, a nasty intestinal bug you get from unclean water). He asked if he could just shoot the guy instead, and it turned out to be a famously funny scene.
...Might want to reword that since RUclips is banning the word "sh--t".....
I am sure you also telling everyone Viggo Mortensen broke his thumb.
@@dacsus Uh, no.
This 80s movie is a cinematic classic which still looks and feels fantastic today. Best action adventure movie ever made in my humble opinion with Harrison Ford just brilliantly cast as Indy.
The actor who played Indy's friend Sallah also played the dwarf Gimli in Lord of the Rings.
He's also a character in Disney's Aladdin and the King of Thieves as Aladdin's dad Cassium. I thought it was weird seeing Treebeard like that.
Also Kiran Shah who played Salah's servant was a hobbit body double in LOTR.
And the actor covered in spiders near the beginning is Doctor Octopus aka Doc Ock.
He also played Wilson Fisk (Daredevil's opponent) in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk.
Seriously one of the most perfect films ever put to celluloid! Love being her with you guys!
To explain what happened at the end: The wrath of god. Belloq was not as bright as he thought, and believed he’d be able to fool god by cosplaying as a rabbi. Both for this insult and for the nazis attempting to eradicate his chosen people from the planet, he killed everyone who so much as dared look at the opened Ark. Just wanted to explain since yall seemed a bit confused at the end.
Not s rabbi, but Jewish High Priest
@@ronmaximilian6953 still stupid to think he could trick the big guy himself with a costume.
I love how the Ark burns the swastika off the box it's in. Like it's not going to be dealing with that noise.
Makes sense now since I was wondering who was pulling the strings.
@@ronmaximilian6953Fooling God is the dumbest stunt ever.
The ark of the covenant was G-d's presence in Israel. In the Torah Moses is instructed how to build it, and afterwards G-d specifically said no one was to touch it or they would die. When the nazi's opened the ark G-d struck them down. The ghost was the angel of death.
CANT YOU SAY GOD?
Do we really need to redact 'God' on RUclips? All the major religions believe in God, although they may call Him under a different name.
@@norwegianblue2017 It comes from an ancient Judaic practice. Jews believed that God is sacred and divine. It was disrespectful to say the name of God outside of the temple in Jerusalem. Of course, the divine name of God to the Jews is YHVH. The Hebrew language was a consonant-only language - no vowels until recently.
Whenever the Jews pronounced YHVH outside of the temple they would substitute a title of God (Adonai or El Shaddai) or HaShem, which means "The Name." The practice of spelling God without the vowel came into being as a form of respect toward this ancient tradition. While "God" is not God's true name and there is no specific prohibition against pronouncing it or writing it, some modern Jews have taken to the practice as a form of respect in the tradition of their revered ancestors.
Note: I am not Jewish so if there are any inaccuracies in the aforementioned, I apologize. This is based on my understanding of the origins of this practice based on my own readings and studies.
The redacting the word god is as annoying as blurring womens legs, upper chest and back in RUclips movie reaction videos because some ancient book tells you that those areas of a woman are not to be seen.
But is at as annoying as someone choosing to watch a RUclips video just so they can complain and be disrespectful and unpleasant without any cause?
There's no shortage of reaction videos with women's chests an legs for your viewing pleasure. You're free to go watch them instead. 🩷
Uboats actually couldn't dive for long periods of time. No submersibles in that era were capable of doing that for more than a period of hours (IIRC) before coming near the surface to snorkel and exchange air. They would dive generally only to attack, ambush, or evade. It was only during the Cold War that the modern submarine really came into being with nuclear power and more efficient electric diesel systems, as well as hull design allowing them to dive deeper than just below the water.
ww2 subs dived much deeper than just slightly below the water what are u talking about
@@akseli66 Well I didn't say slightly, but you're right that "just below" was a bit too much of a flourish. WW2 subs, especially subs built in the 1940s rather than the 1930s, could dive down to a couple hundred feet for short periods of time. Their hulls were leaky, and they could only do this for as long as they had air, generally, but they could do this to hide for short periods of a time. It's a fraction of what cold war nuclear subs could do for weeks, if needed, but it is deeper than just below the water.
What I really am talking about, though, which you surely understand from the rest of what I wrote, is that WW2 subs, and especially 1930s subs like the one in this movie (film is set in 1936), were not designed for sustained underwater operation. It was not their default mode. In peacetime and when they didn't need to hunt or evade, they would typically remain surfaced.
Which is why Indy riding on top of the sub all the way back to their base isn't so crazy a stretch - because the uboat probably would have remained surfaced for the entire voyage. Of course, there isn't anywhere to hide except the spot where the sub's lookouts might come up... but it is a movie that's not firmly rooted in reality.
@@Brendissimo1why are you writing essays in the RUclips comments, bro get a job 😭
@@Trippyisop interjecting into a discussion you weren't a part of, adding nothing of value or substance, only to say the equivalent of "word too big, me no likey." How boring.
@@akseli66While submerged, Uboats had to use battery power. When above the water line, they had the necessary access to air for combustion and exhaust venting, both necessary for power. So easier to travel on surface. Also no. Reason to be submerged and hidden since WW2 had not yet begun.
It's very interesting how this character even came about! Spielberg was on vacation in Hawaii after doing a big film, Lucas was in Hawaii on vacation after Star Wars 2. They were hangin out, talkin about films, characters, etc. and Spielberg says to George Lucas, remember going to movies as a kid? And the in-between cliff hanger play? Would usually be about ten minutes? And it was always about a guy, who stopped evil, got the girl, folied the bad guy, saved the world? Lucas was like, yeah, those were my favorites! Spielberg says to Lucas, I kinda been thinking about a guy....Lucas tells him, u know what? I been storyboarding a character, just like that! And Indiana was born!!
Fun fact, at the start, that sound is actually Australian Kookaburra's. Their unique sound has been used in jungle scenes by Hollywood & TV for years and years. They are also used as jungle sounds in the TV series Tarzan.
Loved this! And I think those spirit things were like angels or something. Sent to destroy all those who were unworthy (because they looked at the Ark, and were Nazi's, of course) that looked at the inside of the Ark. Spielberg wrote this, in part, to be a kind of revenge against the Nazis- it's why they're shown as so incompetent ("worst army ever", as you guys said).
Despite some of the craziness of this film, I love it. You just have to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story. It's meant to be a fun, action-filled ride. Glad ya'll enjoyed.
I don't think it had anything to do with worthiness. I think the ark did that to anyone worthy or not. It's to do with seeing or hearing the direct power of God. It's why in scripture god always communicates through angels.
@@edmann1820 Yeah, good point.
@@edmann1820 actually the ark was used to communicate. there was a specific lineage of priests meant to do so. you had to be this lineage in order to interact with the ark.
Dude you guys saved my night!! Indiana Jones is one of the best trilogies ever. Right up there with Back To The Future
glad u like it ♥
@@HABIBIBROTHERS717 The next 2 are way better. Temple of Doom actually forced the movie industry to change the ratings system cause it was PG
Howdy from Texas.
It's not unusual for submarines to travel long distances on the surface. Mostly because they are much faster on the surface than they are underwater.
back in that era being underwater was dangerous since they would have to be on battery power. they often either were on the surface or slightly below with a snorkel to take in air for the diesel generators and to expel the fumes. there were often a lot of deaths in early submarines not from combat but just the batteries or diesel generators killing the crew.
This was a movie, that almost came by accident!! Spielberg had finished Close Encounters, Lucas had finished Star Wars, they're on vacation in Hawaii. They started talking about going to movies as kids. Back in old times, u could go in the afternoon, and watch 2 for 1 price movies. Between them, the theater would play a short reel, usually about a guy who's a hero, catches the bad guy, stops evil, gets the girl, etc. Spielberg was like, where's that guy anymore? Lucas says, Well I kinda been thinking about and writing this character....and Indiana Jones was born! Indiana's friend here is Gimley from Lord of the rings!😮😮😮
There are tropes you simply have to accept in action movies. The inability of the bad guys to hit the broad side of a barn, set against the hero's seeming ability to shoot around corners. There are many, but the point is, it's all part of the fun :) The "drop and drag" stunt where Indy uses his whip to stay with the truck, was first used in John Ford's "Stagecoach" from 1939, another movie you should absolutely watch some day. Also, submarines don't submerge unless they have to - they're faster on the surface, and these guys were in a hurry.
You just have to go with the flow with a movie like this. It is based upon old-school action comics and low-budget movie serials. They were always long on fun and short on realism. That's what makes it magical and timeless. I think I saw this movie three or four times in the theater when I was a kid. For a long time it was my favorite movie of all time. This was my Star Wars.
Thank you so much for covering this! 😊 I totally would like to see your reactions to the rest of the films in the franchise.
The structure of the film was based on old-fashioned kid's serials in the movies back in the 1950s. This really was an amazing film to see in the theater. It served as the basis for the rest of the films. This one in my opinion is the best. A lot of humor.
More from the 30’s.
I read a book about the making of this films. The tarantulas they used are a very mild mannered - and fragile species. They had to be very careful about brushing them off to avoid hurting them.
Tarantulas, in general, aren't particularly dangerous to a healthy human, though their bites are certainly very unpleasant. They rely less on venom, and more on their size, to take down prey. It's the smaller spiders that often have nastier venom. Same with scorpions. The big, nasty looking black ones often used in horror movies are fairly docile, and their poison isn't particularly dangerous.
I did read in a comment a while ago that they used male spiders but they didn't move and looked more like props, so they added a female and that made the trick.
@@drigerdranzer7514 Frisky little rascals.
Just an fyi, but German U-boats (the submarine) actually spent most of their time on the surface, only going under water briefly for an attack/evasion. The technology wasn't there yet for working engines under water (you need oxygen) so they used batteries, which didn't have a very long charge.
add in the batteries often were dangerous along with the diesel engines.
So many great Harrison Ford roles. All are very different. Like Regarding Henry, Witness, Patriot Games and Working Girl. Just a few suggestions.
WWII submarines spent 90% of their time above water, because it was faster, better visibility, etc. and could use the engines instead of the old style low-powered batteries they had which could only power it underwater for a short while at lower speeds until they needed to surface or use the snorkel just under the surface to use the air breathing engines to recharge the batteries. Modern nuclear powered submarines can stay underwater for weeks, even turning seawater into oxygen for the crew using electrolysis.
Great movie!! My fave is Temple of Doom. Love the way the guy in the white knows it a movie and goes along with it.😂 love your content👍
Indiana Jones films are like a perfect balance between action/humor. The 1st and 3rd are pure gold in my opinion. The 2nd film quite a bit darker and more serious, and honestly lacks the same kind of spirit that the 1st/3rd have. It's still a good movie though. I think some hate the 2nd because it isn't quite the same as the 1st/3rd.
Hello from Alexandria Virginia. Just wanted to say that I enjoy watching your videos.
My personal gripe is that, being set before WW2, there were no RPGs 😂
Lmao dude, how have I never noticed that.
Pretty sure it was a bazooka and not an RPG
@zakkpierce Lol no way dude, bazooka the grenade sits at the back, rpg it sits up front
@@zakkpierce As CaseyQ pointed out to you, the rocket on an RPG sits at the front. I searched the scene on YT and it’s very clear that Indy has an RPG. That said, even IF it was a bazooka - those didn’t appear until 1942, which is still years after the time period of Lost Ark (and Germans didn’t have an equivalent until after they captured some U.S. bazookas - so they wouldn’t have it for that time period, no matter what)
Insofar as they also have a flying wing Heinkel, I simply justify it to myself as an elite experimental unit with dieselpunk tech.
This is one of my all time favorite movies so I makes me a little sad that younger people don’t love it as much as I do. You kinda had to be there at the time. There was nothing like this and it influenced the next 40 years of action movies. I appreciate your honesty and I love your reactions when you’re enjoying a movie. Keep ‘em coming 😄
😂 I love how you guys argue or disagree on certain matters when watching films. Too funny! And I'm glad it ends on a peaceful note bc some people can take things on a whole other level and it's ridiculous!
Steven Spielberg was such a giant in the 80s 🎉 great fun
All spiders (and those are tarantulas) are venomous- but to varying degrees. Tarantulas in the Americas have “bee sting” level venom, but will flick irritating hairs, first. The species used in this film (almost all, actually) are Brachypelma Hamorii (common name Mexican Red Knee) because of their very mild temperament. I have one, but am still to chicken to handle her 😂
they had to put a female to get the rest to move. outside of mating season female tartunatls eat the males
Nobody has better "plot armor" than Indiana Jones", lol.
Besides doing Force ten from Navarrone and a small part In apocalypse now, he's the only guy to carry three major franchises at the same time! Indiana Jones, Han Solo and Deckerd from Bladerunner!
Was Bladerunner a franchise though?
That would be a good one to watch though.
@@cmay7429 well, yes and no. It's been done as games, and series previously on TV. It was always planned on being more movies, but Ridley Scott was off and on about doing more, and Ford would only go if Scott was on board and the script was right. So thirty years later we got part 2!!
@@cmay7429 and still the fact he did these three major film characters, all very different, simultaneously, is quite a feat!!
Indie's incredible luck is supposed to be that way. It is as though divine intervention is helping him. It becomes even more obvious and funny in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

39:28 The ark cabinet is made of wood, with the exterior being glad in gold. It has some weight, but not too heavy to carry.
Remember, this movie takes place in 1936, flying back then was only luxury AND that's a Pan Am plane. They were the best of the best for decades. My dad was a pilot for them when they finally went under, woke up one day and CNN told him he was out of a job. Thankfully he bounced back quickly with United. He's been retired for 20 years now.
Just to let you know, you are right, that woman would not have been able to stand after that many shots. If the other dude fell over, the only chance she would have had walking for the rest of the night would be a good round of puking and drinking a lot of water. She absolutely wouldn't have landed that punch, she would have landed on her own face. Males and females have different enzymes for breaking down alcohol, and its much easier for men to break it down. For a woman, 3 shots is a lot and she would be showing signs of being tipsy by then. 10 shots would either kill a woman or give her alcohol poisoning. I have no idea how I survived my 20s.
OMG, that take where he shots the big guy with the big sword was improved. Indie was supposed to beat him with the whip, but it got stuck and Harrison Ford just said f it and shot him. One of the best cinematic moments that was a total mistake.
That monkey jungle sound at the start .. was an AUSTRALIAN KUKABURRA :) Americans have been putting that noise in jungle movies for near 100 years, to the embarrassment of Aussies :) nobody else knows the sound I'm sure but it's pretty weird to an Aussie to hear it with Tarzan etc in deepest Africa :)
Well you evened it out with your Olympic breakdancer then.
The Ark of the Covenant had in it the most Holy Objects of the Jews from Moses' time. Inside it was the Laws given to Moses from God, The Staff of Aaron, and a Pot of Mana. The Mana (God's bread) fell from the sky to feed the Jews while they wandered in the desert before their conquest of Canaan (Palestine) by Joshua.
Since the Ark had the laws in it (the words of God) it was considered to be very Holy by the Israelites. It was placed in the Holy of Holies, first in the movable Tabernacle of God, then when King Solomon built the first permanent Temple of God in Jerusalem it was placed in the Holy of Holies in the new Temple.
When the first Temple was destroyed by the Babylonian conquest it was taken as war booty and lost to history. When the Israelites came back from their exile in Babylon to Jerusalem, they did not have it.
7:07 Why is Belloq a great Villain? He has a great Evil Laugh.... 😆😆

Fun Fact: The U-Boat was borrowed from the set of “Das Boot” (the best WW2 movie, ever. You should watch the Director’s Cut of that).

Love this one! But my favorite Is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, soo good!!!
It's not that they are trying to make Arabs look bad, it has to do with bad guy tropes. There are smart badguys like Lex Luther in Superman, and then there are dumb brute badguys like O'Doyle in Happy Gilmore. (There are plenty more badguy tropes, but those are a few common ones.)
Dad, I like Indiana.
That's the dog's name.
Hitler was truly obsessed with the Occult and religious artifacts! He was twisted!
No, that's wrong. It wasn't Hitler who was obsessed with the occult, but the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler. Hitler had no interest in the occult at all and thought Himmler's obsession was crazy. (see also Wewelsburg and the Black Sun)
@@ErnstHannes we'll have to disagree on that, since in one of his private residences or rooms, he had all types of religious paraphernalia and bits of furniture and lampshades and other things, made from human skins.
@@philmullineaux5405 you may want to look up that lampshades from human skins claim. Karl-Otto Koch was the only ever confirmed case. The SS btw pit Koch and his wife on trial and executed them after their activities were discovered.
@@philmullineaux5405 The lampshade made of human skin was discovered in the Buchenwald concentration camp after its liberation (there is also a second, larger one).

28:10 yes they did, you guys seem to conveniently forget that it was a time when muslim countries did not really care about their history before Islam, where other ancient faith and artifacts were considered to be "idol worship" as you put it. At best the ancient ruins were left to a decrepit state or at worse outright destroyed.
For example the ottomans gave full permission to the british to loot the Parthenon and bring back some of that marble to London, on top of statues and other invaluable ancient artefacts,again all that with the full backing of the Turks.
Time hasnt changed much since, yes egyptians now realize how immensely rich their ancient culture was and are going out of their way to protect it but in other parts of the muslim world the taliban blew up the Buddhas of Bamiyan (built in 500 CE) and ISIS very much tried to destroy Palmyra, the ancient city and once capital of the Palmyrene empire.
lol! ah Islam today destroys lots of artificats. Egypt has destroyed tons of museums in their own country. Look at what is occuring in Mecca even places admitted to be holy to Mohammed are being destroyed to put up hotels
Hello , i'm sorry, i'm not on Patreon, i'm just a French Guy, learning english with fun with your movies reactions !! and i've just find a real good movie for me, that seems nobody made a react on it ! "Powder" from 1995, i recommend it to you, and hope someday you'll see it ! Keep up the good work, sry for my writing, i'm still learning ;)
The ARK was WOOD, covered with thin gold.
1-3 really good,4 not bad, 5 worst
I grew up watching these movies...please watch the next 2...theyre great!
This movie is a banger, one of the greatest action movies of all time and a personal favorite of mine
Fun fact: The guy who gets his revolver whipped out of his hand at the beginning and the eye patch monkey guy were played by the same actor.
You guys would love "Apocalypto" & " Cast Away"
I honestly wanted to jump out of my skin from some of the film shocking me. I still remember. Also a friend told me that the one scene where Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones and Han Solo's actor) just wasn't feeling it. It's the scene where Indiana was about to fight the man wielding a sword. Apparently Harrison Ford had a fever or something and just wanted to get the scene over with. No fancy whip action or sword play. Which now bothers me and not my child self.
He had contracted dysentery, and apparently so had some of the other cast. You can see how sick he was, poor guy was having to run to the bathroom every ten minutes apparently.
SICARIO should be your next Movie. Great Film
Still waiting for Return of the King!
One of the most famous Crown Jewels is the Cullinan diamond. It was found in the Town of Cullinan near Pretoria South Africa.
Ahah, yes: in this movie arabs act like annoying obstacles in videogames. 😂
If you look inside the arc you see the power of God, because of the Moses tables, and as a human, who has even stolen it, you die.
Anyway, I love Steven Spielberg, because he can pass from Jurassic Park and this to Shindler's List without loosing any filming quality.
Of course it's full of plot armour of the main characters, like any of adventure movies of the '80s.
The ark is said to hold the stone tablets with the 10 commandments that Moses recived on a mountain top ... and thus has Godly powers ! 😉
Indiana Jones didnt wanna destroy the Ark ... that why he surrendered ...
Btw. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church claims to possess the Ark of the Covenant in Axum....... 🤔🙄🧐
In a Germany not being at war situation the U-boat not submerging can be explained at follows. On the surface U-boat speed is 32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph, submerged its just 14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph. So it not submerging is quite possible if they want to get somewhere quickly.
WWII submarines only submerge when they have to. They will do their sailing on the surface.
Fun fact, the reason why the duel between indy and the swords man is because everyone was sick. During the swords man duel when Indy just shoots him, the entire time crew had good poisoning and Harrison Ford could barely go 30 with our running to the bathroom
Inside the Ark was except for the stone tablets Aarons rod and a jar of manna.
The relics did burn on the ship to keep them away.
Brilliant reaction Habibi bro's!!! You guys are funny :) Greatly look forward to seeing you doing "Temple of Doom" and "Last Crusade!!!" The original trilogy of Indiana films are fantastic.... and let's just pretend there isn't 2 others made long after the trilogy which kinda suck by comparison
Harrison Ford did all of his own stunts, even into his 70's
Excited to enjoy this classic movie with you guys! 💖
Cut footage actually showed Indiana Jones hanging onto the periscope of the submarine, which stayed above water during the whole trip. In German one of the U-boot sailors actually says, "raise the periscope above the surface." Without understanding that command and without the missing footage, Indiana Jones surviving the submarine ride, has been the biggest question by critiques and fans for decades.
This is the popular favourite but the next two movies in the trilogy are my personal favourites, hope you guys watch those too
The thing with kids - I think the idea was, Indie's friend sent the kids in to retrieve him, thinking the Nazi's wouldn't be brazen enough to harm Indie in front of them, or injure the kids themselves, which was certainly a gamble that could have gone EXTREMELY poorly. 😬 I suppose you could give tge benefit of the doubt to the friend: maybe he didn't know just how dangerous it was when he sent the kids in.
It helps to enjoy this film if you remind yourself that it's meant to be for 10-12 year old boys.
You guys were mentioning the plot armor and skipped submarine stowaway and yeah Indy basically has super powers to be able to do all the outlandish stuff that he does. But like many other people have said its based on comics from the 40s/50s. Its supposed to be over the top and high adventure and kinda cheesy with how lucky and durable our hero is. But theres another aspect that not many have mentioned and thats the movie's timing in history. In 1981 most movies were very different than modern ones, and most movies up to that point have not aged well. This movie still holds up to this day for a reason. It still feels very modern for a reason. The movie blended humor and suspense and action and mystery, even a little noir, etc. in a way that became the blueprint in hollywood to this very day. It hits so many different beats and so quickly and effectively, mainly due to John Williams' score, that it sometimes feels jarringly fast even to the modern watcher. Back in 1981 this blew people away with how fast-paced and fun it was/is. It was like riding a modern S+ class rollercoaster when you've only ever known small wooden ones.
Yes the movie is kinda ridiculous in its plot holes and incompetent bad guys, but the movie was always meant to be a fun, popcorn eating, turn your brain off and just go with it experience. One could argue it is literally the first modern popcorn action flick, although Mad Max 2 and Escape from New York also came out that year. But neither of those have the kind of humor and romance and whimsical adventure combined with the action like Raiders does, and like so many modern action movies do. This movie created a new tier of film in terms of audience fun, and that's why its so beloved today.
Lastly, I have to mention the main reason why Raiders is so fun; the score. John Williams hits all these different vibes perfectly and transitions between them flawlessly. The music in the action is bombastic and completely changes the whole feel of the scenes (in a good way). Try watching the Cairo streets fight or the truck chase without the music, it feels like you're watching a completely different movie that's how much the score elevates this movie to goat status. Without John Williams this movie does not become the classic that it is imo. The score of this movie is godlike in its execution, its main motif is iconic, the performances are great, the humor lands, its fast paced while also nailing suspense and awe when it needs to... Raiders just did such a good job of combining all these different elements into a fun action adventure, that it basically is the mold (along with Star Wars) for the genre as we know it.
he hanged onto the periscope/snorkel of the submarine.
When the Ark traveled in front of the Hebrews a column of smoke went out from Ark the o sky, at night it was a column of fire.
Over a 2,000 year period, the direction of Earth’s tilt shifts into another constellation in the sky. Also, the Earth’s axis is tilted towards or away from the Sun changes through time, in approximately 41,000 year cycles. So, because the staff was designed to funnel light through the staff over three thousand years ago, the location of the ark may no longer be as accurately indicated now as when it was when the staff was made. That is, if this stuff in the movie was real.
The medallion was made to focus sunlight.
The Earth's tilt on its axis oscillates from 21.5 degrees to 24.5 degrees over 41,000 years.
The Earth's tilt changes 1 degree (to the north or south) every 6,833 years.
The Ark of the covenant is believed to have been built around 3,400 years ago.
The Earth's tilt has changed about 0.5 degrees from the time of Moses to the 20th century. That difference was probably negligible in the Map Room. The light from the Sun is so massive that such a small change would be nothing.
The Earth's tilt does not shift into another constellation in the sky. We see the same seasonal constellations of the zodiac as the Earth orbits the Sun. The very small changes in the Earth's tilt over 41,000 years does not have any effect in how we see the constellations at night.
I have often wondered if it would only be accurate on a specific day, like in The Hobbit's "on the last light of Durin's Day". Thanks!
Last bit of info, the last post on the Ark was deleted by RUclips tyrants.
You have to put this movie in context. It was a movie made for American audiences back in the '80s. Every country has their films with their heroes that perform brave deeds and usually survive to the end and espouse the values of their country, well, Indiana Jones is America.
Now-a-days, Hollywood makes mediocre films because they stand for nothing and are afraid to offend anyone.
A German U Boat in the WW2 era could travel about 30 km/h on the surface or less than 10 km/h underwater for 12 - 24 hours. So unless they were attacking or evading an enemy they would likely have been running on the surface.
FunFact-
The scene where Jones faces off against the guy dressed in black wielding sword an Jones shoots him was supposed to go differently. Ford was sick that day of filming an didn't feel up to the fight scene where he was supposed to use his whip... instead he improved the scene with the gun instead and they kept it!
Those were angels that came out of the ark.
13:29 Air planes have gotten more and more cramped, as they try to put more and more people on each plane. Back in the 1940's flying was a big deal, people would dress up in their best suits if they were going on a plane. It was considered a big deal and a thing of luxury. For this reason, the seats were more spacious and the service much better too. They used to serve hot meals.
it was also far more expensive and hence a luxury
I bought an identical leather jacket from the same company, Wested of London and the leather might look tough, but it's actually very delicate. My kitten climbed up the back of the jacket while it was hanging in the closet and left claw marks all over it. It's lamb skin and easy to ruin.
Mise this action
Fun fact. In the Bible, there's a story (1 Samuel 5 & 6) where the Philistines go to war with Israel and take the Ark of the Covenant into their camps. At first the Ark smashes all of their idols (when they aren't looking) and then it gives them hemorrhoids. They make statues of golden hemorrhoids to please the G-d of Israel. I don't know why they didn't include that story in the movie.
Of course, if the Ark is giving the Philistines bloody hemorrhoids and they were fighting a land war, what did the NAzis think it was going to do to them?
How did Indy survive outside a submarine? Ok .. subs back then, they had a diesel engine, that could not work underwater. They only go down for battle, and then rely on batteries which last only a short time then they surface to recharge them with the diesel. Its also a much faster vehicle while on the surface. So it's possible to hide on the outside as long as the trip is short and the sub is not attacked.
I get that you need to cut a lot for the sake of copyright, but why did you cut that entire fight scene in the bar?
What came from the chest that holds the Ten Commandments is G-d's wrath for daring to presume upon his sacred works in the name of terror and genocide.
He lives because underneath his rough exterior he has a heart that is pure. He is protected by 'the hand of God'. He saved the word of God from those that would use it's power for evil. As long as people know it actually exists, there will always be someone that will crave it's power for their own. It is well hidden from those people. Until mankind grows up and learns how to pull it's head OUT of it's BUTT...it will stay where it is.
You'll have to watch the rest of them (except the new one - it wasn't very good). And one other thing that would be awesome for you to watch would be the 1956 film version of "The Ten Commandments." Its an epic film and a bit long but I think you'd enjoy it. Its filmed in technicolor. It stars Charleton Heston and Yule Brenner among many other stars of the day.
I think submarines back then usually traveled on the surface. but yeah, it still doesn’t make a lot of sense for him to follow that way.
The reason Indy and Marion survived God's visitation is they did not look at God's Glory. Just like LOT not looking back at Sodom, but his wife did and was destroyed. The old man who translated the medallion said that no one must look at God's Work. Indy remembered that but that line was deleted from the movie.
LOL there are passages in the Bible saying to not look into the Ark as well as other texts saying those who opened the Ark and were not of the proper Jewish lineage were to die.
Regarding these lighthearted adventure movies with humorous aspect as Indy or Pirates of Carribean, you - as you liked Back to the Future - might like Ghostbusters and also Beetlejuice (being relevant, having sequel this year after 36 years with mostly same actors), those are something of comedy-horrors of the 80s (more funny than scary).
Crazy statue
You guys should do a reaction to "Ip Man (2008)" its one of my all time favorites even though its in Cantonese, I've watched the german dubbed and original w subtitles. Idk if theres a good English dub tho
Either way its an amazing movie and ill pray you guys do it one day. Absolutely love your channel guys.
Definitely recommend that is my favorite martial arts film, and I highly suggest just watching the normal version with subtitles, dubbed movies are all trash all the time. People can read subtitles and should for stuff like that.
I strongly advise you to watch the German movie 'Das Boot', which is considered as one of the best war movies ever and explains a lot about WWII submarines.
But those rays were rays of Love that heal sick, not a weapon. That is whatt both Hitler and director of the movie did not know:)
I love this movie❤ some movies I never get tired of watching. You should check out some horror flicks😊
“Worst army ever,” yeah, that’s why we kicked their butts lol 😆
Anyways, recommend watch the next two films, the second one is a hit or miss, but you get a feel for the Indiana Jones hype. The ride at Disneyland is based off of the second movie but mixed with other ideas. The third on is a great one, people have a hard time picking that one or the first one as their favorite.
What the Fudge!
The Ark of the Covenant is a wooden chest coated with gold. Inside there are the stone tablets with the ten commandments, given to the Hebrews through Moses.
LOL those were Old Testament Angels Of Death.
Submarine is a boat. A boat that can stay on the top of the water easier because you don't have to use batteries and you can have clean air
Biblically speaking, Solomon hid the ark. Either in a catacomb in Jerusalem, underneath where Jesus was crucified, so his blood would leak onto the top of it, because the top is called The Mercy Seat of God- so He would see His Son's blood and forgive sins, or took it to his wife Sheba, in Ethiopia. There has been an Ethiopian guard for 3000 years, over where it's hidden, along with fake copies. But the guards NEVER leave! Supposedly every member of the royal family has seen the ark, since 1000 ad!
I saw this in the theaters when it came out, so I must have been 10 or 11 years old. Everything I saw on film I thought was real back when I was a kid.
Why would the ancient Egyptians need a map room to point to the location of the Ark? The only people that would need that map room would be someone from thousands of years in the future if the whole area was buried in sand. So that part of the film, the map room, doesn't make sense.
if you notice there were other holes. it was used to show vips important places in the city when they visited
@@toomanyaccounts They don't need a staff and bronze medallion for that. The guide could just point to the area on the map or actually show them around the city.
The bronze medallion, staff, map room were just for the treasure hunt of discovering the Ark after like 2000 years of it being lost? It's a fun scene, just doesn't make sense if you start to wonder why the ancient Egyptians would need this map room and holes and staffs and the sun at the right time of day to point to a secret location, that was above ground in a temple near the center of the city.
