The best part is that in 1980, Spielberg told George Lucas he wanted to do a bond film, Lucas said “I got a bond film for ya” and showed him the script for Indy … then they added OG Bond!!
There's a good reason why the late River Phoenix was able to imitate Harrison Ford so well. They acted as father and son in the film The Mosquito Coast.
yeah Harrison was pretty fond of him and felt he resembled a young him really, great film as well as River's film Running on Empty..there's a family scene in that film that'll make your eyes water
This is the ultimate father and son story! It was a box office and critical success making $474 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget. It won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing.
WOOHOO! I love #1 and #2, but #3 is my absolute favorite. The father-son chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery was fantastic and introducing Indiana's father goes a long way to explain why Indiana ended up the way he did. Side-note regarding the line, "we named the dog Indiana" - George Lucas really did have a dog named Indiana as a young man writing Star Wars, and not only did it serve as the inspiration for the name, Indiana Jones, but he also would drive around with Indiana in the front seat, and being that Indiana was a BIG dog (Alaskan Malamute), it also gave him the idea of a "dog copilot" that eventually became the idea for Chewbacca in Star Wars as well. Cheers
BJ: The airship you were remembering was the Hindenburg, a German airship. In 1937 It flew from Germany over the Atlantic to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey. As it was landing it exploded in flames. Because the ship was filled with hydrogen instead of helium and was much more flammable (along with other factors that became known years and decades later), the ship burnt to just a steel frame. Many people died. The tragedy is most remembered by the words of a radio broadcaster who was supposed to be covering the landing, but ended up describing the tragic scene with great detail during which he said "Oh the humanity!" while he was sobbing.
When I was a kid in the 70s the PBS tv channel used to broadcast the film of the Hindenburg disaster very often. That disaster was a big factor in the decision later on to make all blimps filled with helium instead of hydrogen.
Something that a lot of people don't realize is that the Hindenberg had the Swastika on it's tailfin, which was much to the dismay of the owner of the airship
@@eliasshaikh2065 Well, most nations knew about the issues with hydrogen before hand. The issue was that the USA had the monopoly on helium, as it was just discovered, and had placed sanctions on nazi germany. Germany had no other suitable option but hydrogen for their blimps.
@@Amonabus Yup. There are also many other speculated reasons for what caused the _Hindenburg_ to initially explode, since hydrogen does not simply explode on its own. There was actually a very interesting recent PBS documentary about a potential scientific cause of the explosion.
This movie also explained why Indiana is so afraid of snakes. At the beginning, when they were about to steal that cross from those other archaeologists, his friend is scared by a snake in Indiana says "it's just a snake". But then we see during the chase the Indiana falls into a car full of snakes. He's been scared of them ever since
The humor & emotion of this Indiana Jones movie is always top notch! Love it. That scene at the end when Papa Jones quietly and comfortingly calls his son "Indiana" in a last ditch effort to "reach him", makes me tear up EVERY time! So moving.
such a fine scene. like... you go through the whole movie thinking Indy and Senior had been detached for years, that all Sr cared about was the grail, researching and finding it. that he would give anything for the grail. and in that moment, with the grail within reach, but Indy on the verge of death, Sr knows what he needs to do to save his son. I LOVE this movie. so much.
The exterior of the Temple of the Son toward the end of the movie was actually filmed outside a legit ancient structure, the Treasury of Petra in the country of Jordan. The city of Petra is listed as one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World because the whole city was carved out of stone in 400 BC (2400 years ago or so). It's a tourist attraction, but it's also protected by the World Heritage Fund. They're still making cool archaeological discoveries about the city.
@@highstimulation2497 In the movie, it was the Temple of the Son, as in "of God", since it was about the Grail, and a fictitious structure made up for the script.
I've always known that the exterior was a real place, but do you know if the interior was real (I don't mean all the grail tests of course, but the place were all the soldiers were, the great seal, etc.) was that a set, or was that a real place? Not sure what the interior of Petra looks like.
@@centimarsiosolas6971 It's been an International Heritage Site (or some similar title) since the 90's. Petra is a city with buildings carved in the stone, not one building. Some people live there, some people have businesses, a lot of them are protected or active archaeological sites. They were functional buildings, not caverns and stuff. The interiors used for Last Crusades were sets. They only filmed them entering and leaving that one structure.
Regarding Indiana Jones taking his name after the dog: During the early years, you may have noticed an Alaskan Malamute dog in the house when Young Indy arrives with Coronado's Cross (which BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!). George Lucas, who was one of the co-creators of this series, DID have an Alaskan Malamute dog named Indiana that would always ride shotgun in the car among other places. Not only was this Indiana the inspiration behind our hero's name in this series, but also the inspiration behind Chewbacca from Star Wars. Hope you're doing well. 😀
It's my understanding that the effects of the Holy Grail upon Indy and Henry ended after they stepped past the seal, so that they would not get to stay immortal.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that you had to drink from the Grail everyday to gain immortality. Doing so would basically stop you from aging, like the Knight. If you stopped drinking from the Grail then the aging process would start up again.
Such a great subliminal line that adds so much context and double-meaning. One of those comments that goes over childrens' heads but makes the adults chuckle.
@@hannigan9738 Connery as Hammond instead of a pudgy little grandpa would've made it more sinister every time he said "spared no expense" and always cut back and being cheap. In this movie he is aloof but still has a bit of presence. Makes ya see where Indy got it from but mighta overwhelmed the shine of the other actors in Jurrasic Park.
"The doooooogggg??? You are named after the dog????" 🤣 I just love the way Sallah says that. Sallah is played by John Rhys Davis....he played Gimli in Lord of the rings. 🙂
Love the transition, when the scene goes from young Indy having the fedora put on his head, to older Indy raising his head to see Harrison Ford's face.
You're right. The reason we don't travel in giant blimps is that one caught fire and was destroyed. In 1937, a German blimp called the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed while mooring in New Jersey, killing 35 people. That pretty much spelled the end of traveling that way.
The reason why we don't travel by blimps is because around the same time, travel across the Atlantic by airplane took about two days less time. Sure, it was much more comfortable and luxurious but, way cheaper and faster by plane. Blimps were just faster than ships. The hindonburg accident was just the nail in the coffin. If planes hadn't come along, I think that they would have figured out how to make it safer. I would have loved to have tried it. It sounds like it was very bougey. Champagne and caviar anyone?
The Hindenburg burned because it was filled with hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. Helium is much safer, but was in short supply at the time. As noted by someone else, winged aircraft dominated, I assume because it was much faster. Planes were also developing rapidly due to the impending war. Taking an airship would be like taking a cruise ship v a ferry.
Germany had to use explosive hydrogen. America was a huge exporter of the much safer helium. We wouldn't export it to that particular German government.
The part where Donovan starts aging rapidly scared the absolute crap out of me and my little sister when we were 8 and 7. Our older brother and sis had bought the video and showed it to us. I went into a state of shock and my little sister burst out screaming and ran over to our mom, buried her head in our mom’s chest and began crying big time. Our older bro and sis were laughing big time l. Me and my lil sis were like “we’re never watching this again!” Very next day we asked to watch it again.
Chewbacca was inspired by his dog, and in Mel Brooks' Star Wars parody Spaceballs John Candy was the chew bacca like copilot that was half man half dog, he was his own best friend

Harrison trained for and performed his own stunts for the Indiana Jones series. They did 10 takes of him running from the rolling boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The opening scene showed us where he got his chin scar, his whip, and his look. Harrison Ford only did stunts where you can see his face. Neither Indy nor his dad gained eternal life from the grail, because they crossed the seal, but his dad's healing was already accomplished, so it was permanent. This one is my favorite! I saw it dozens of times at the movies.
Steven Spielberg's movies, including this one, definitely played on my sense of nostalgia as a kid which developed into a love of history. Btw I was lucky enough to visit the "crescent moon" city which is located in Petra, Jordan. It was amazing and the city continues on past the "temple". After watching this movie I told myself I was going there one day and I did. Funnily enough when I was taking a break outside the temple a group of guys decided to reenact the scene where Indy went through the 3 trials. It was great and hilarious.
I loved how the train scene explained Indy's fear of snakes, as well as where he first tried to use a whip and where Indy/Harrison Ford's chin scar came from. Also, What's that? The Ark of the Covenant. Are you sure? Pretty sure.
The concept of Indiana Jones is inspired by the serial movie features from the first half of the 20th century. Popular serials included westerns, jungle adventure, and even science fiction. The story played out over several weeks with each episode ending on a cliff-hanger that ensured return patronage. Indiana Jones came out just after Empire Strikes Back which ensured a lot of Han Solo fans would be in the audience, me included! 🥳
Henry Sr. was never after the Grail itself. He never wished to possess its power or the eternal life it brought. He never wanted to claim it and bring it to others. He had nothing to gain or prove. He was searching just for himself, for his faith. He just wanted to know it was real, for himself. So when the time came... he chose his son instead, and let the Grail go. Indy was reaching for the Grail because he felt that only if he could give it to his father could he truly get his father's love. He didn't want the Grail or its power either. When his father got his attention by calling him Indiana for the first time in his life, and told him to just let it go... Indy finally understood he HAD his father's love, and had no need of the Grail, and so too did he let it go. Elsa wanted it and its power. She couldn't let it go, and when the time came that brought her to her death. So too would that have snared Donovan, had he lived. Niether could the Knight, and that kept him entombed alive for 700 years. In the end Indiana and his father were the only ones who made the correct choice regarding the Grail. They used it, they had their miracle, but then they let it go, because such miraculous powers are not meant to be kept by any human forever... only to God does the Grail belong.
The cliff carved ruins at the end are in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, which is one of the world's oldest cities (that we know of), in the region where cities and civilization as we know them were first invented. There has been constant settlement in that area for over 9,000 years, back when the area was thick jungle and lush grassland, later farms. Some evidence suggests it's much older.
Yes the culture that was known to build those temples right into the canyon walls was the lost Nabatean culture, said to be also known as the Thamudeian civilization which is a lost culture of the Middle East that existed probably around 2 thousand years ago and may have had some interaction with the Romans toward the end.
Feel better soon, Asia. 😷✌ BJ, you mentioned The Hindenburg disaster. It happened at a Naval station in New Jersey, 1937. On RUclips, you can find the radio broadcast from when it was being reported live. Ever heard someone say "Oh, the humanity"? It came from that. The first Led Zeppelin album cover used a picture of it. Zeppelin is the name of a German company that made airships like what you see in the movie. When the band started out, they got a comment from The Who drummer, Keith Moon who thought their sound would "go over like a lead balloon". Or a lead zeppelin.
According to the movie, that cross belonged to the conquistador Fransisco Vasquez de Coronado. In 1540, he led an expedition to search for El Dorado, a fabled city of gold, in New Mexico. (El Dorado remains undiscovered, today.)
This is the worst booby trap out of the whole franchise, in my opinion. The illusion of the hidden bridge only works from one view point. You would need to be standing in a certain spot, and be a particular height, for the bridge to become 'invisible'. But in the movie, the bridge is camouflaged from multiple angles.
Great reaction y’all! Looking forward to seeing a reaction to Lord of The Rings someday. Don’t let the runtime scare you off…every reactor at the end is like “whoa it’s over already?” Plus like 30 minutes of runtime is the credits. Each movie in the trilogy is a Masterpiece and I think you’ll both actually enjoy it👍
@@charliepepper333 it's the true beginning of the franchise so it's older effects look bad compared to the trilogy plus it would be like watching the star wars franchise starting with the empire strikes back sure you could but you miss a whole lot
The zeppelin you are talking about at 23:46 was the Hindenburg, and it did catch fire and crash in Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937. The Hindenburg was German. The CGI of the zeppelin in this movie is actually what the Hindenburg looked like, with the exception of the color. It would be more gray than white.
"That chalice belongs in a museum." Hahaha classic! I loved this movie as a kid! I was doing Indiana Jones stunts every day. Every time I went grocery shopping with my mom and we were taking the cart to the car, I was singing the song and pretending that the cart was a train and I would sing the song and jump on the side of it. If I was lucky she would push it fast so I would have to run and catch up to jump on.
Great to see you both watch the 3rd Indiana Jones movie. Loved it. Elsa should have "let it go" though. 😁 Happy New Year to you and your family from Scotland! 💙
I'm a student of Medieval History and a huge fan of Sean Connery so this movie was perfect for me. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Connery was magical. I would have liked to see them together for another Indiana movie. Great reaction, guys.
Such a great last movie in this series. Really, this is the LAST one. If anyone says there is another is a liar. Definitely my favorites when I was a kid.
Crystal Skull really wasn’t that bad though. Not on the level of Raiders or Last Crusade but still a decent Indy flick. I think people just love to hate on it.
@@MegaTechpc I think you're right. I love Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. There are some potholes that the film drives over, but overall, it's a fun movie. 😄
Final scenes are filmed in Petra in Jordan. Petra itself was once a lavish oasis which was built out of rock and it had water systems running throughout it for irrigation of crops and other plants. You might catch sight of one of the gullies that moved the water cut into the rock. It is an absolute beauty of architecture. Love Indiana Jones films.
Great reaction as always - and it cracks me up how you edit the background music to avoid copyright, because it makes it sound like the orchestra was drunk as hell.
Crazy thing about this movie, the actor who played Donovan was also in another movie with Harrison Ford. He was the AT-AT pilot that destroyed the shield generator on the planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back.
Great reaction! This is one of my all-time favorite films! I saw it years ago when it came out and have loved archeology and history ever since. I've been to the Holy Land 4 times - the last three as a volunteer and each time is just as thrilling as my first time. You feel like you are walking through the pages of the bible. Perhaps you guys will go there one day as well!
As someone mentioned the original three were inspired by the era of the Thirties and Forties. The next movie, Crystal Skull, was inspired by the fifties and sixties lifestyle so it is very different in style but it is also a commentary on the time it is set in just like the original three were commentaries on the times they were set in.
Yesssss! Thank you for reacting to this, and completing the Indiana Jones Trilogy! The best set of movies of all time, check out the next one, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, obviously the weakest out of them all, but there are some good parts!
Yes. They drank from the correct cup and have eternal life and super healing...but the catch is that they cannot leave and cross the seal on the floor like the knight said. Once they cross that seal, they are just regular men once more. Love these original Indy movies!
I love all the Indiana Jones movies! Very entertaining! Glad you are checking them out! The final shot of the movie was filmed in Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo Texas. I don't live far from there. Its a beautiful canyon.
The whole eternal life thing only applied to those that would stay inside of the seal. The grail heals, but the eternal life doesn't go with you if you leave.
Asia & BJ: if you guys want to see another great treasure hunting movie like this one, you should react to "The Mummy" from 1999, with Brendan Fraser & Karen Allen. Lots of shots that Asia can watch through her fingers!
Harrison Ford did he’s own stunts in all he’s movie’s. Have you seen Air Force One with Harrison Ford as the President. If you like Fords action movies, this is he’s big action movie if not seen yet 👍🏽
I heart your videos even before watching it because I know it will be a great reaction. Love watching all these classics again along with you! Keep it up.
Hi, I subscribed to the channel for the first time today and I noticed Asia that you had a Puerto Rico T-Shirt on and I was so excited that you’re showing off my country, so you see I’m from Puerto Rico born, raised and I have my home here still. Thank you! I enjoy your channel very much! Happy New Year!
Thank you Asia and BJ for reacting the third film of the franchise Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade starring by Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Next time Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Happy New Year guys👍👍👍
That whole beginning sequence with River Phoenix playing young Indiana Jones shows how Indiana (actually Harrison Ford) got his chin scar, developed a hatred for snakes, and how he adopted his signature bull whip and Fedora hat.
The craft the Jones' flew in out of Berlin was actually not a blimp, although the blimp is related. They are called airships, and come in non-rigid (blimps), semi-rigid, and rigid forms, rigid being the type that was in the movie. It had a metallic frame forming its shape, and hydrogen (helium nowadays, as its safer) was filled inside it to give it loft. Airships move under their own power, using a series of propellers. The airplane docked underneath was for emergencies, and had nothing to do with the airship's propulsion. BJ mentioned an airship blowing up, and was likely referring to the Hindenburg, a huge German airship which, filled with hydrogen as they all were back then, was easily ignitable. It contributed to the decline of airships in general, and today the only ones in regular use are blimps. Airplanes are more advantageous overall than airships, however airships do have a few advantages over planes, mainly that they carry much more cargo, and can hover in place, allowing them to deliver their cargo directly to areas not near a landing strip. A few people are trying to bring airships back into regular use for cargo and human transport, but not much luck so far.
Fun little fact, the "He chose poorly" line was used in a commercial for the taste test wars promoting Diet Coke. Also the powers not lasting beyond the great seal explains why the knight's brothers died once he left.
My favorite film series. I've loved all of the movies since I was a little girl. I can't wait to see the 5th (and final) installment, which comes out next year. I'm happy to curl up and watch this one along with my fave movie reaction couple. It's a cold, rainy day in North Georgia. The perfect day to watch a great movie. And, btw, you've made it to PAST 60k! Congrats!
So this is my favorite addition of Indiana Jones out of the franchise. I love this movie. The chemistry between harrison Ford and sean Connery was great. It was they came off believable as a father and son but more importantly guys. This movie is very special to me because it's 1 of 2 movies last movies I had seen with my late mother. She died in 1995.
If I remember correctly, the cross belonged to Cortez. You two kids crack me up. Love your reactions. The Hindenburg is the zeppelin you are thinking about. The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground. I'm with Miss Asia, I'll stay outside and hold the horses.
Thanks, Asia! Thanks, BJ! 🏆 There are two more movies in this series... the last one will be released on June 30th! #ReelinWithAsiaAndBj #AsiaAndBjReact #AsiaAndBj #StevenSpielberg #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade #Happy2023
Also in the beginning part when Indy runs into his house, you see a dog. That's George Lucas' dog, Indiana which inspired the crearion of Chewbacca in Star Wara and the name of Indiana Jones. That's why Indy's dad says, 'we named the dog Indiana." George Lucas created Star Wars abd co-created Indiana Jones with Spielburg.
Connery and Ford have great father son banter, and their scenes together in Austria are hilarious. The moment Henry sets the floor on fire, the entire castle escape is like a slapstick comedy as they run around being chased by nazis 🤣🤣🤣 John Williams definitely had his work cut out with the mix of whimsy and dark scenes, as Last Crusade whips back and forth from comedy to darkness (Indy's wacky youth to a boat explosion, library antics to a suicidal boat chase, trouncing nazis in Austria to a book burning 😬). He and Spielberg keep the tone shifts from giving the audience whiplash somehow and it is quite a feat.
A German blimp did explode. The Hindenberg came from Germany to Manchester Twp, New Jersey in 1939 (I think). It exploded when it was tying up to a landing pole.
A little thing about the ending of this movie: Indiana and his father are not immortal since the people who drank from the grail are only immortal in the place where the grail resided, they were not immortal anymore when they passed the seal that grail couldn't pass.
I don't know if you know this .. This is from Google.... Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the second installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, and a prequel to the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, featuring Harrison Ford who reprises his role as the title character. So Temple is a Prequel .. :D still great either way .
The bridge in the leap of faith scene is real, but was built as an optical illusion. When Indy (or anyone) looked at it straight on, it looked like it disappeared because it blended perfectly into the surrounding rock formations. That’s why Indy threw the dirt on it, so the others following could actually see it and cross. They weren’t walking on air, they were walking on a stone/rock bridge that was blending into its surroundings.
The blimp you are talking about is the Hindenburg, that went from Frankfurt, Germany to Lakehurst, New Jersey. That is where the Hindenburg burst into flames. There is a disaster film from 1975 called the Hindenburg with george c scott
The first time I saw River Phoenix ( the guy that played young Indiana Jones) was in the movie Stand by Me. I knew then he was going to be a great actor. It's sad he died so young.😥🌹 Great reaction and hope your New year is of to happy start. Love y'all😘❤
23:46 The Hindenburg disaster happened in New Jersey in 1937. It was a German zeppelin that caught fire and was essentially the death knell of using the zeppelin as a means of transportation.
Didja know that Indie's friend... the man with the red fez hat who wanted the horses and asked "What does this 'Junior' word mean?" Is John Reese Davis... He was Gimli the Dwarf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. ("No one tosses a Dwarf!" ) as well as Treebeard's voice
"He chose... poorly." One of the greatest lines in movie history.
Indeed he did, in more ways than just one.
Was a meme for a long time.
My husband and I use that line sometimes when our kids do something wrong or bad 😂
And Pepsi commercials
I like the reference to "no ticket" in Dogma.
Still my favourite Indiana Jones movie. I've been a fan of Sean Connery since his Bond days. Pairing him with Harrison Ford was cinematic gold for me.
Skipped that scene on the beach. Connery shines with his umbrella.
"His dad is a goof". Hilarious. Just a reminder of what a solid actor Connery has always been.
Fax
The best part is that in 1980, Spielberg told George Lucas he wanted to do a bond film, Lucas said “I got a bond film for ya” and showed him the script for Indy … then they added OG Bond!!
Was a perfect match
Love the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.
One of the best father/son relationships on the big screen.
The looks of disapproval from Sean, every son can relate.
@@dneill8493 yep
Same here.

@@girlsdrinkfeck indeed
A Goofy Movie is great for that as well. The father/son dynamic is amazing.
it was the fifth highest grossing movie of all time back then, quite insane. ET was number 1
Oh yeah, baby, I ALWAYS look for movies with great sound editing.
WOOHOO!
I love #1 and #2, but #3 is my absolute favorite. The father-son chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery was fantastic and introducing Indiana's father goes a long way to explain why Indiana ended up the way he did.
Side-note regarding the line, "we named the dog Indiana" - George Lucas really did have a dog named Indiana as a young man writing Star Wars, and not only did it serve as the inspiration for the name, Indiana Jones, but he also would drive around with Indiana in the front seat, and being that Indiana was a BIG dog (Alaskan Malamute), it also gave him the idea of a "dog copilot" that eventually became the idea for Chewbacca in Star Wars as well.

Didn’t like 2 a lot ( to much screaming ) besides that, not to bad.
Hey, Thanks so much Colonel B ❤️❤️
Thanks for the info 👍🏾!
Short Round and Wille were also dog's names. I forget whose exactly. I think one was Spielberg's and one was John Williams'.
Probably cause Sean shared his secrets for abusing women
I loved Sean Connery in this as a "goof" because how smooth he as always been playing "Bond, James Bond" 🤣🤣🤣💕
My mom and I loved watching this when I was a kid, his parts were always hilarious to us. "This is intolerable!"

Regarding Indiana Jones taking his name after the dog: During the early years, you may have noticed an Alaskan Malamute dog in the house when Young Indy arrives with Coronado's Cross (which BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!).
George Lucas, who was one of the co-creators of this series, DID have an Alaskan Malamute dog named Indiana that would always ride shotgun in the car among other places.
Not only was this Indiana the inspiration behind our hero's name in this series, but also the inspiration behind Chewbacca from Star Wars.
Hope you're doing well. 😀
The opening explains his whip, the scar on his chin, the hat & his fear of snakes. Non-stop action and parts that are really funny!
It's my understanding that the effects of the Holy Grail upon Indy and Henry ended after they stepped past the seal, so that they would not get to stay immortal.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that you had to drink from the Grail everyday to gain immortality. Doing so would basically stop you from aging, like the Knight. If you stopped drinking from the Grail then the aging process would start up again.
You're wrong, Indiana Jones will live forever.
Sean Connery actually improvised the line "She talks in her sleep." and the role almost went to Gregory Peck.
Such a great subliminal line that adds so much context and double-meaning. One of those comments that goes over childrens' heads but makes the adults chuckle.
@@hannigan9738 He turned down being Jon Hammond in Jurassic Park and he turned down being Gandalf in Lord of the Rings.
@@hannigan9738 Unbelievable.
@@hannigan9738 Connery as Hammond instead of a pudgy little grandpa would've made it more sinister every time he said "spared no expense" and always cut back and being cheap. In this movie he is aloof but still has a bit of presence. Makes ya see where Indy got it from but mighta overwhelmed the shine of the other actors in Jurrasic Park.
When BJ dipped from laughing at the 11 o clock joke, got me rolling
"The doooooogggg??? You are named after the dog????" 🤣
I just love the way Sallah says that.
Sallah is played by John Rhys Davis....he played Gimli in Lord of the rings. 🙂
I have watched this movie over and over and over again! Love it!
It's my second favourite indy movie right after raiders
I can watch this on mute and still here the dialog and music ques.
Love the transition, when the scene goes from young Indy having the fedora put on his head, to older Indy raising his head to see Harrison Ford's face.
You're right. The reason we don't travel in giant blimps is that one caught fire and was destroyed.
In 1937, a German blimp called the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed while mooring in New Jersey, killing 35 people. That pretty much spelled the end of traveling that way.
The reason why we don't travel by blimps is because around the same time, travel across the Atlantic by airplane took about two days less time. Sure, it was much more comfortable and luxurious but, way cheaper and faster by plane. Blimps were just faster than ships. The hindonburg accident was just the nail in the coffin. If planes hadn't come along, I think that they would have figured out how to make it safer. I would have loved to have tried it. It sounds like it was very bougey. Champagne and caviar anyone?
@@davidhowell7279 well said.
The Hindenburg burned because it was filled with hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. Helium is much safer, but was in short supply at the time.
As noted by someone else, winged aircraft dominated, I assume because it was much faster. Planes were also developing rapidly due to the impending war.
Taking an airship would be like taking a cruise ship v a ferry.
@@Cheepchipsable The Hindenburg burned because it caught fire. The hydrogen did it spontaneously combust.
Germany had to use explosive hydrogen. America was a huge exporter of the much safer helium. We wouldn't export it to that particular German government.
The part where Donovan starts aging rapidly scared the absolute crap out of me and my little sister when we were 8 and 7. Our older brother and sis had bought the video and showed it to us. I went into a state of shock and my little sister burst out screaming and ran over to our mom, buried her head in our mom’s chest and began crying big time. Our older bro and sis were laughing big time l. Me and my lil sis were like “we’re never watching this again!” Very next day we asked to watch it again.
"If I can't see what's in the water, I'm not getting in it!" Neither would I!
EDIT: It WAS a perfect ending! (don't watch the others)
There are no others.
Awesome reaction... I absolutely love the original trilogy.
*FUN FACT: "Indiana" Jones was in fact named after George Lucas' dog.*
He had a lot of fond memories of that dog.
Also, his dog was the inspiration for Chewbaca in Star Wars.
@@tuffs4it - a *lot* of fond memories.
Chewbacca was inspired by his dog, and in Mel Brooks' Star Wars parody Spaceballs John Candy was the chew bacca like copilot that was half man half dog, he was his own best friend

Harrison trained for and performed his own stunts for the Indiana Jones series. They did 10 takes of him running from the rolling boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
When his dad said Indiana instead of Junior that made me cry, thank you Sean Connery
The opening scene showed us where he got his chin scar, his whip, and his look.
Harrison Ford only did stunts where you can see his face.
Neither Indy nor his dad gained eternal life from the grail, because they crossed the seal, but his dad's healing was already accomplished, so it was permanent.
This one is my favorite! I saw it dozens of times at the movies.
Steven Spielberg's movies, including this one, definitely played on my sense of nostalgia as a kid which developed into a love of history.
Btw I was lucky enough to visit the "crescent moon" city which is located in Petra, Jordan. It was amazing and the city continues on past the "temple". After watching this movie I told myself I was going there one day and I did. Funnily enough when I was taking a break outside the temple a group of guys decided to reenact the scene where Indy went through the 3 trials. It was great and hilarious.
Loved Ford and Connery but also introducing a young Indy with River Phoenix was gold.
I loved how the train scene explained Indy's fear of snakes, as well as where he first tried to use a whip and where Indy/Harrison Ford's chin scar came from.
Also,
What's that?
The Ark of the Covenant.
Are you sure?
Pretty sure.
The concept of Indiana Jones is inspired by the serial movie features from the first half of the 20th century. Popular serials included westerns, jungle adventure, and even science fiction. The story played out over several weeks with each episode ending on a cliff-hanger that ensured return patronage. Indiana Jones came out just after Empire Strikes Back which ensured a lot of Han Solo fans would be in the audience, me included! 🥳
There are a few up on YT.
Henry Sr. was never after the Grail itself. He never wished to possess its power or the eternal life it brought. He never wanted to claim it and bring it to others. He had nothing to gain or prove. He was searching just for himself, for his faith.
He just wanted to know it was real, for himself. So when the time came... he chose his son instead, and let the Grail go.
Indy was reaching for the Grail because he felt that only if he could give it to his father could he truly get his father's love. He didn't want the Grail or its power either. When his father got his attention by calling him Indiana for the first time in his life, and told him to just let it go... Indy finally understood he HAD his father's love, and had no need of the Grail, and so too did he let it go.
Elsa wanted it and its power. She couldn't let it go, and when the time came that brought her to her death. So too would that have snared Donovan, had he lived. Niether could the Knight, and that kept him entombed alive for 700 years.
In the end Indiana and his father were the only ones who made the correct choice regarding the Grail. They used it, they had their miracle, but then they let it go, because such miraculous powers are not meant to be kept by any human forever... only to God does the Grail belong.
The cliff carved ruins at the end are in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, which is one of the world's oldest cities (that we know of), in the region where cities and civilization as we know them were first invented. There has been constant settlement in that area for over 9,000 years, back when the area was thick jungle and lush grassland, later farms. Some evidence suggests it's much older.
Yes the culture that was known to build those temples right into the canyon walls was the lost Nabatean culture, said to be also known as the Thamudeian civilization which is a lost culture of the Middle East that existed probably around 2 thousand years ago and may have had some interaction with the Romans toward the end.
Feel better soon, Asia. 😷✌
BJ, you mentioned The Hindenburg disaster. It happened at a Naval station in New Jersey, 1937.
On RUclips, you can find the radio broadcast from when it was being reported live. Ever heard someone say "Oh, the humanity"? It came from that.
The first Led Zeppelin album cover used a picture of it. Zeppelin is the name of a German company that made airships like what you see in the movie. When the band started out, they got a comment from The Who drummer, Keith Moon who thought their sound would "go over like a lead balloon". Or a lead zeppelin.
According to the movie, that cross belonged to the conquistador Fransisco Vasquez de Coronado.
In 1540, he led an expedition to search for El Dorado, a fabled city of gold, in New Mexico.
(El Dorado remains undiscovered, today.)
I love how the leap of faith was actually just a camouflaged bridge 😆
This is the worst booby trap out of the whole franchise, in my opinion. The illusion of the hidden bridge only works from one view point. You would need to be standing in a certain spot, and be a particular height, for the bridge to become 'invisible'. But in the movie, the bridge is camouflaged from multiple angles.
Great reaction y’all! Looking forward to seeing a reaction to Lord of The Rings someday. Don’t let the runtime scare you off…every reactor at the end is like “whoa it’s over already?” Plus like 30 minutes of runtime is the credits. Each movie in the trilogy is a Masterpiece and I think you’ll both actually enjoy it👍
Amen!
Please Asia and bj watch the hobbit before lord of the rings trilogy
@@DicnballzBitch really? Why the hobbit first?
@@charliepepper333 it's the true beginning of the franchise so it's older effects look bad compared to the trilogy plus it would be like watching the star wars franchise starting with the empire strikes back sure you could but you miss a whole lot
The zeppelin you are talking about at 23:46 was the Hindenburg, and it did catch fire and crash in Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937. The Hindenburg was German. The CGI of the zeppelin in this movie is actually what the Hindenburg looked like, with the exception of the color. It would be more gray than white.
"That chalice belongs in a museum." Hahaha classic! I loved this movie as a kid! I was doing Indiana Jones stunts every day. Every time I went grocery shopping with my mom and we were taking the cart to the car, I was singing the song and pretending that the cart was a train and I would sing the song and jump on the side of it. If I was lucky she would push it fast so I would have to run and catch up to jump on.
Great to see you both watch the 3rd Indiana Jones movie. Loved it. Elsa should have "let it go" though. 😁 Happy New Year to you and your family from Scotland! 💙
I'm a student of Medieval History and a huge fan of Sean Connery so this movie was perfect for me. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Connery was magical. I would have liked to see them together for another Indiana movie. Great reaction, guys.
That sounds fun, what studies have you done? I have a masters in history of religions.
This has to the the Best of the Indiana Jones Trilogy...
The on screen chemistry between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford...just Amazing.
Such a great last movie in this series. Really, this is the LAST one. If anyone says there is another is a liar. Definitely my favorites when I was a kid.
There is 2 more , look it up. The Crystal Skulls & the final one is to hit theatres in 2023
@@bethcushway458 aye 😆
@@bethcushway458 which comment is that ? 😏
Crystal Skull really wasn’t that bad though. Not on the level of Raiders or Last Crusade but still a decent Indy flick. I think people just love to hate on it.
@@MegaTechpc I think you're right. I love Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. There are some potholes that the film drives over, but overall, it's a fun movie. 😄
I'm sure everyone knows that the young Indiana Jones was played by the late River Phoenix. A fine talent gone much too soon.
Running on empty was a great movie.
Final scenes are filmed in Petra in Jordan. Petra itself was once a lavish oasis which was built out of rock and it had water systems running throughout it for irrigation of crops and other plants. You might catch sight of one of the gullies that moved the water cut into the rock. It is an absolute beauty of architecture.
Love Indiana Jones films.
Yeah! This is my favorite of all the Indiana Jones movies.
This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie!!! Pairing Sean Connery with Harrison Ford is genius!
Great reaction as always - and it cracks me up how you edit the background music to avoid copyright, because it makes it sound like the orchestra was drunk as hell.
Crazy thing about this movie, the actor who played Donovan was also in another movie with Harrison Ford. He was the AT-AT pilot that destroyed the shield generator on the planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back.
Indiana's Egyptian friend is Gimli from Lord of the Rings.
When young Indy cracks the whip and cuts his face, it is explaining a real scar Harrison Ford has above his chin which you see in close-ups.
Great reaction! This is one of my all-time favorite films! I saw it years ago when it came out and have loved archeology and history ever since. I've been to the Holy Land 4 times - the last three as a volunteer and each time is just as thrilling as my first time. You feel like you are walking through the pages of the bible. Perhaps you guys will go there one day as well!
As someone mentioned the original three were inspired by the era of the Thirties and Forties. The next movie, Crystal Skull, was inspired by the fifties and sixties lifestyle so it is very different in style but it is also a commentary on the time it is set in just like the original three were commentaries on the times they were set in.
Finally! I've been waiting months for your follow-up reaction to this trilogy! One of my favorite Indiana Jones movies, thanks for posting! 😁💯
The Young Indy part in the beginning shows how he got his fear of snakes, uses the whip for the first time, and hat.
And the scar
Yesssss! Thank you for reacting to this, and completing the Indiana Jones Trilogy! The best set of movies of all time, check out the next one, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, obviously the weakest out of them all, but there are some good parts!
@@christopherb501 They need a new actor Sean Patrick Flannery, who played the role on TV.
The sunset scene was shot on Amarillo, TX.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF THE OG TRILOGY.
I WISH YOU BOTH GOOD FORTUNE IN THE WARS TO COME.
There are 4 Indiana Jones movies, soon to be 5
@@johnnielson4341 I KNOW. ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE 3 DO I.
Yes. They drank from the correct cup and have eternal life and super healing...but the catch is that they cannot leave and cross the seal on the floor like the knight said. Once they cross that seal, they are just regular men once more.
Love these original Indy movies!
Love y'all! Thank you for your reactions!💙
Hey, Thanks Jacob
The young Indiana was River Phoenix who is Joaquin Phoenix 's older brother who passed away some years ago.
I grew up on these movies. Helped shape my world view and morals along with ST next generation.
Where were you parents?
The STD generation is a btch though
I love all the Indiana Jones movies! Very entertaining! Glad you are checking them out! The final shot of the movie was filmed in Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo Texas. I don't live far from there. Its a beautiful canyon.
The whole eternal life thing only applied to those that would stay inside of the seal. The grail heals, but the eternal life doesn't go with you if you leave.
31:10 these external shots of the temple are a real place in Jordan. It's part of the ancient city of Petra and its carved into the canyon walls.
Asia & BJ: if you guys want to see another great treasure hunting movie like this one, you should react to "The Mummy" from 1999, with Brendan Fraser & Karen Allen. Lots of shots that Asia can watch through her fingers!
Great choice of movie, been waiting for your reaction of the 3rd movie 😎
Harrison Ford did he’s own stunts in all he’s movie’s. Have you seen Air Force One with Harrison Ford as the President. If you like Fords action movies, this is he’s big action movie if not seen yet 👍🏽
The temple they go in at the end of the movie is a real temple in Jordan at the ancient Nabataean city of Petra. I’d love to go there one day.
I heart your videos even before watching it because I know it will be a great reaction. Love watching all these classics again along with you! Keep it up.
Hey, Thanks so much Leo!!!
Every time Indy Jones picks up skeleton bone, I call him Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. I’m just waiting for him to sing.
Ahhh finally! Thank you guys cant wait to see your reaction! Best wishes from Germany✌️
Hey, Thanks so much!!!
Hi, I subscribed to the channel for the first time today and I noticed Asia that you had a Puerto Rico T-Shirt on and I was so excited that you’re showing off my country, so you see I’m from Puerto Rico born, raised and I have my home here still. Thank you! I enjoy your channel very much! Happy New Year!
Hey, Thanks Lisette!! Welcome in, we loved your comment and appreciate your sub!!
Thank you Asia and BJ for reacting the third film of the franchise Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade starring by Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Next time Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Happy New Year guys👍👍👍
Hey, Thanks so much Pedro!!!
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ 👍👍👍
That whole beginning sequence with River Phoenix playing young Indiana Jones shows how Indiana (actually Harrison Ford) got his chin scar, developed a hatred for snakes, and how he adopted his signature bull whip and Fedora hat.
That motivated Spielberg further to develop his Young Indiana Jones TV show in the early 90s.
This is a great ending to the series and there are definitely no further installments so you needn't worry.
The craft the Jones' flew in out of Berlin was actually not a blimp, although the blimp is related. They are called airships, and come in non-rigid (blimps), semi-rigid, and rigid forms, rigid being the type that was in the movie. It had a metallic frame forming its shape, and hydrogen (helium nowadays, as its safer) was filled inside it to give it loft. Airships move under their own power, using a series of propellers. The airplane docked underneath was for emergencies, and had nothing to do with the airship's propulsion.
BJ mentioned an airship blowing up, and was likely referring to the Hindenburg, a huge German airship which, filled with hydrogen as they all were back then, was easily ignitable. It contributed to the decline of airships in general, and today the only ones in regular use are blimps. Airplanes are more advantageous overall than airships, however airships do have a few advantages over planes, mainly that they carry much more cargo, and can hover in place, allowing them to deliver their cargo directly to areas not near a landing strip. A few people are trying to bring airships back into regular use for cargo and human transport, but not much luck so far.
This movie is where the story should have ended
What? You mean you're not looking forward to the time-travelling CGI ridiculous mess that is coming soon? Doesn't the world need a CGI Indy????
Fun little fact, the "He chose poorly" line was used in a commercial for the taste test wars promoting Diet Coke. Also the powers not lasting beyond the great seal explains why the knight's brothers died once he left.
My favorite film series. I've loved all of the movies since I was a little girl. I can't wait to see the 5th (and final) installment, which comes out next year. I'm happy to curl up and watch this one along with my fave movie reaction couple. It's a cold, rainy day in North Georgia. The perfect day to watch a great movie. And, btw, you've made it to PAST 60k! Congrats!
So this is my favorite addition of Indiana Jones out of the franchise. I love this movie. The chemistry between harrison Ford and sean Connery was great. It was they came off believable as a father and son but more importantly guys. This movie is very special to me because it's 1 of 2 movies last movies I had seen with my late mother. She died in 1995.
Ever since Indy drank from the grail,he's been cursed to make unnecessary sequels WAAAYYY passed his prime
If I remember correctly, the cross belonged to Cortez. You two kids crack me up. Love your reactions. The Hindenburg is the zeppelin you are thinking about. The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground. I'm with Miss Asia, I'll stay outside and hold the horses.
Thanks, Asia! Thanks, BJ! 🏆 There are two more movies in this series... the last one will be released on June 30th! #ReelinWithAsiaAndBj #AsiaAndBjReact #AsiaAndBj #StevenSpielberg #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade #Happy2023
The cross from the beginning was a cross from one of the Spanish Conquistadors looking for El Dorado.
Also in the beginning part when Indy runs into his house, you see a dog. That's George Lucas' dog, Indiana which inspired the crearion of Chewbacca in Star Wara and the name of Indiana Jones. That's why Indy's dad says, 'we named the dog Indiana." George Lucas created Star Wars abd co-created Indiana Jones with Spielburg.
I don't think that was the Same dog.
Original name was INDIANA SMITH. Steven Spielberg changed the name before filming began on Raiders
Connery and Ford have great father son banter, and their scenes together in Austria are hilarious. The moment Henry sets the floor on fire, the entire castle escape is like a slapstick comedy as they run around being chased by nazis 🤣🤣🤣
John Williams definitely had his work cut out with the mix of whimsy and dark scenes, as Last Crusade whips back and forth from comedy to darkness (Indy's wacky youth to a boat explosion, library antics to a suicidal boat chase, trouncing nazis in Austria to a book burning 😬). He and Spielberg keep the tone shifts from giving the audience whiplash somehow and it is quite a feat.
A German blimp did explode. The Hindenberg came from Germany to Manchester Twp, New Jersey in 1939 (I think). It exploded when it was tying up to a landing pole.
A little thing about the ending of this movie: Indiana and his father are not immortal since the people who drank from the grail are only immortal in the place where the grail resided, they were not immortal anymore when they passed the seal that grail couldn't pass.
40:00 B.J. killin me right now...."You know what Indiana thinkin right now"🤣🤣🤣
I don't know if you know this .. This is from Google....
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the second installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, and a prequel to the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, featuring Harrison Ford who reprises his role as the title character.
So Temple is a Prequel .. :D still great either way .
And that was it. They never made another one. Don't let anyone tell you different. 😅
The 3 original Indiana Jones movies were amazing, creativity, fun, and that bit of goofiness.
Not sure about creative. Watch some of the old serials that inspired it and you will see.
AtomicAgePictures on YT has some up.
@@Cheepchipsable What do you mean old serials? Also, I checked out Atomic, and there is no indiana jones there.
I liked that he was able to let it go. He is such a great actor.
Young Indiana was played by River Phoenix, who was Juaquin Phoenix's older brother. River died in 1993 of a drug overdose at the age of 23.
The bridge in the leap of faith scene is real, but was built as an optical illusion. When Indy (or anyone) looked at it straight on, it looked like it disappeared because it blended perfectly into the surrounding rock formations. That’s why Indy threw the dirt on it, so the others following could actually see it and cross. They weren’t walking on air, they were walking on a stone/rock bridge that was blending into its surroundings.
The blimp you are talking about is the Hindenburg, that went from Frankfurt, Germany to Lakehurst, New Jersey. That is where the Hindenburg burst into flames. There is a disaster film from 1975 called the Hindenburg with george c scott
Wasn't even to me directly, but being a man in America I haven't heard those three words from anyone in 5 years. Thank you, and love to you too.
The first time I saw River Phoenix ( the guy that played young Indiana Jones) was in the movie Stand by Me. I knew then he was going to be a great actor. It's sad he died so young.😥🌹
Great reaction and hope your New year is of to happy start. Love y'all😘❤

The Hindenburg disaster happened in New Jersey in 1937. It was a German zeppelin that caught fire and was essentially the death knell of using the zeppelin as a means of transportation.
Didja know that Indie's friend... the man with the red fez hat who wanted the horses and asked "What does this 'Junior' word mean?" Is John Reese Davis... He was Gimli the Dwarf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. ("No one tosses a Dwarf!" ) as well as Treebeard's voice
