"You lost today, kid. That doesn't mean you have to like it." There's some respect there. I also like that the treasure hunter wears similar gear to what Indy will use later. Shows that this encounter had a lasting impact.
Indeed. Conceptual inspiration in that regard is more Charlton Heston's Harry Steele in Secret of the Incas (and possibly some Quatermain here and there).
I like how at the end Henry and the grail knight see eachother. One dedicated his life to finding the holy grail and the other spent his protecting it.
The closer your old scraps are to a Saint, the more likely your remains get scooped up in the wake during The Rapture. Hence the desire to get ones' bones chucked underneath a cathedral.
The Catacombs beneath Paris (and most old European cities) are absolutely filled to the brim with bodies, both from ancient crypts and mass graves from plagues. It's crazy how many skulls are down there.
@@DocMicrowave ... Elsa intentionally chose the wrong grail for Donovan. After he shot Indiana's father, she wanted him dead. You can see the look on her face after she gave it to him. Being a historian, she knew that the grail would not be such an ornate cup. She used Donovan's arrogance against him. Giving him the gold and jeweled cup played straight to his ego. She also wanted the grail for herself. Once Donovan was dead, she tried to keep the cup for herself.
Sean Connery is excellent as Captain Marko Ramius in "The Hunt For Red October" (1990). He's the best Russian Commander with a Scottish accent you'll ever encounter! 😉 And, of course, there is Bond. James Bond. 007. "Dr. No" (1962) "From Russia with Love" (1963) "Goldfinger" (1964) "Thunderball (1965) "You Only Live Twice" (1967) "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971) "Never Say Never Again" (1983)
Agree with The Hunt for Red October. The problem of your Bond list, like many other people do, is to list all of the moves or series that an actor has done, rather than picking and choosing as select few that you feel are the very best. They are not going to se all 7 movies-; which 3 in your list would you recommend the most?
@ ….. There is nothing wrong with my Bond list. For all we know, the Maplenuts may watch all of the films or none of them. It’s up to them. You’re free to post your own list of films. I promise not to criticize it. I won’t even read it.
The facade cut into the rock was filmed at Al-Khazneh in Petra Jordan. Real structure, but the inside is very small. So the interior shots were created on a soundstage in England.
Exactly. There were some who believed that it might be the resting place of the lost Ark of the Covenant -- hidden within the structure to protect it from the Babylonian army of Nebuchadnezzar when they invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple.
@@ian3314 it had long been thought it had hidden compartments. it was recently found to have been discovered that it did and in it they did find a cup i believe, tho it just seems to be artifacts from around the time it was in use not the actual grail. cool tho!
@@joshfacio9379Yeah, came here to say this, too. Lots of jars with scrolls, probably from during Roman occupation, last I heard. The cup was just a broken cup, the simple clay sort people of the area still use, but the journalists used it as a hook to connect the find to this movie.
It's always a tough decision to choose between Raiders and Last Crusade.🤔Raiders is probably the best Adventure movie ever,but the spark between Indy and his Dad in Crusade is incredible.👌Amazing casting getting the legend that is Sean Connery to play Henry Snr.👏 I'll recommend The Rock,Hunt For Red October,The Untouchables and Outland for top Sean Connery movies to watch.😉 Great reaction as ever folks.😊👍
In some behind the scenes feature I saw many years ago they said that the guy in the intro scene who dresses like Indiana Jones was made clear in an earlier draft of the script to be Marion's dad, Dr. Abner Ravenwood, though they ultimately cut that bit from the final version they shot. So it makes sense that he seemed to have taken a shine to young Indy and that he gave him his hat and he later grew up to model his look on him, since he later went on to be his mentor when Indy went to college and Marion said in the original movie that they were really close and he loved Indy like a son.
@@Tom-Mac1975 Yeah, I always liked that bit of trivia and in my head he is in fact Marion's dad regardless of whether they cut that bit or not. Same thing with a bit of trivia they shared about Temple of Doom in the BTS feature of some old DVD set I had, where they said Shorty was adopted by a wealthy married couple who were friends of Willie and he went on to study archaeology and grew up to become an adventurer/archaeologist like Indy, with Indy himself being Shorty's teacher and mentor just like Abner Ravenwood was for him.
For Sean Connery, I'm sure most people will recommend him as the original James Bond. Release order is Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever. If you're only going to pick one, go for Goldfinger. All of the James Bond films from 1962 until 2006 have no real watch order, with just a few references to past films. I would say You Only Live Twice shouldn't be the first to watch. If you don't go with Bond, you can go for The Hunt for Red October, The Rock, The Great Train Robbery, Outland, The Untouchables. My personal preference from that list would be Outland or Hunt for Red October.
"That is a freaky tomb. There's just skulls in the pockets in the walls?" You should check out the Catacombs in Paris. The scar on Ford's chin came from an auto accident, before he became an actor. The scene at the end was filmed at the Treasury of the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. Though they played father and son, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford were only 12 years apart in age. 32:51 This is my favorite interchange between the two.
Young Indy is River Phoenix. He was asked to reprise this role in the '92 tv series Young Indiana Jones chronicles. He turned George Lucas down, as he had been in many tv series and now his film career had taken off he didn't want to go back. He died in '93.
"Nazis. I hate these guys." Fun Fact: Sir Sean Connery and Harrison Ford wore no trousers during the shooting of the entire Zeppelin sequence. It was a hot set. Clean Rats Fact: 2,000 rats were bred for the production. Breeding them specially was necessary, as ordinary rats would have been riddled with disease. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Harrison Ford cut his chin in a car accident in southern California when he was about twenty years old. In the movie, this cut is explained by young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) cutting his chin with a whip. Authentic Costume Fact: Most of the uniforms worn by the Nazis in the Berlin book-burning scene are authentic World War II uniforms, not replicas. A cache of old uniforms was found in Germany and obtained by costume designer Anthony Powell to be used in this movie. Young Indiana Jones Fact: Harrison Ford nominated River Phoenix to play him as a teenager, having worked with him before on The Mosquito Coast (1986). When describing how he prepared for playing the role, Phoenix explained that he didn't really base his portrayal on the Indiana Jones character, but on Harrison Ford. So he observed Ford out of character before acting his part.
He was pretty good in The Highlander also. Even though it was a small part. And then there are the Bond movies. I thought From Russia with Love was his best.
Here are my Sean Connery movie recommendations: - The Rock - all his James Bond movies especially Goldfinger. - Outland - Robin and Marian - The Hunt for Red October - Highlander - The Untouchables - Zardoz (this one because it's just a weird sci-fi and Connery in a hilarious outfit) 😂
I don't get why people always recommend Goldfinger as a Connery Bond film. He doesn't do anything in that film! The plot would have resolved itself identically if he weren't there.
@Jet-fighter because Goldfinger has a lot of iconic scenes in it like the woman painted in gold and the laser scene. There's also the famous line exchange betweem Bond and Goldfinger "You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr . Bond expect you to die" Most of it has been referenced in many movies and parodies of spy movies.
You take on the trouble of a tank (think of the transmission work!) only when you expect the other guys to loft something that you can't chuck out the barrel yourself. The primary weapon of a main battle tank is that little machine gun which is hard-strapped beside that huge honkin' cannon barrel sticking out the front of the turret.
Sean Connery had an amazing career, including playing the original James Bond! He was a fantastic actor with an amazing presence. Watch The Hunt For Red October, Medicine Man and Finding Forrester to name a few.
Sean Connery as James Bond in the early films is his most iconic role. A good movie with an older Sean Connery is Entrapment. A good movie with a young Sean Connery in a somewhat minor role is The Longest Day.
Julian Glover has been in several major film and tv franchises throughout the years. Indiana Jones, James Bond 007, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Star Wars, just to name a few. Now if he ever gets cast in a Star Trek film/series, then he would have completed the sci-fi holy trinity of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who.
Thank you for your compassionate reactions, I love you guys! I am a very lonely man, I suffer from severe depression and there is nobody in my life really caring about me. I don't have the energy to go out and experience life. I don't feel like I deserve it. Watching your reactions, seeing you laugh and observing all the emotions you're going through, gives me the opportunity to break out of my daily routine of boredom and repetition for a short while. Thank you very much, I really mean it!
You are not alone brother. There are many who feel lonely and forgotten especially in today‘s society. Try to keep your head up, though I know it isn‘t easy sometimes, go outside just for a little walk now and then and it will become much simpler to enjoy the many beautiful things in life. Also never be shy to seek professional help, that might be the first step towards a happy and rewarding life. Please keep your hopes high for there are always better times to come, brother! May God bless your soul!
My heart goes out to you. Living with severe depression is so challenging. Know that we love you too, and we're so happy to have you as a part of our movie watching community. ❤❤❤
River Phoenix had a head start in his preparation for this role when he was cast alongside Harrison Ford in The Mosquito Coast, a great film that gets nowhere near enough attention. If you want another "Indy" fix, watch Spielberg and Peter Jackson's animated TinTin film.. genuinely the best Indiana Jones style adventure we have had since The Last Crusade.
Sean Connery movies: The Hunt for Red October Untouchables The Rock Name of the Rose And a few personal favorites that might not be his best work but I love the movies: Highlander Outland Dragonheart The Presidio And, of course everybody will say the James Bond movies, and they're good, but then you're invested in a 6-decade franchise, so beware!
There's been a long-standing comparison of Indiana Jones to James Bond. In fact, Indy's white tux at the beginning of Temple of Doom was a deliberate homage to Sean Connery's 007, complete with a (poisoned) martini. So when it came time to cast Indy's father for Last Crusade, Connery was the ONLY choice. My Sean Connery movie suggestion: The Untouchables. An exciting, incredible film about Al Capone and Elliot Ness. Connery won his only Oscar for his role.
In Working Girl, he said he got it a different way. In the real world, Harrison was in a car crash, before his Hollywood years so you'll see that scar in all his films.
@@minnesotajones261 I know his real crash was unrelated, but in my meta-headcanon for all of Harrison Ford 's roles, he got the scar in the American Graffiti crash
If you want to see Sean Connery in his most iconic role, watch Goldfinger. He is the first and still best James Bond. The young actor playing young Indy was the late great River Phoenix, brother of Joaquin Phoenix. He was in the movie Stand By Me as Chris Chambers, the main character's best friend.
This movie is thr ultimate father and son! RIP, Sir Sean Connery, Henry Jones, Sr. RIP, River Phoenix, young Indy. Originally Sir Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck were considered for the role of Henry Jones, Sr, but they turned it down, as Olivier would sadly pass away from Pneumonia in 1989. The original opening scene for the script was going to involve Indy battling ghosts in a haunted Scottish mansion, but Spielberg immediately rejected this idea as it was too similar to POLTERGEIST. Another idea involved Indy fighting off the Monkey King for the mythical Fountain of Youth. It was then decided that Indy would team up with his estranged father to fight off the Nazis over the Holy Grail.
Sean Connery Movies Sure look no further than the fact he was the ORIGINAL James Bond which is why he was chosen to play Indys dad in the first place. The James Bond films... Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger (The Best one) Thunderball You only Live Twice Diamonds are Forever Never Say Never Again Other films... Marnie Zardoz Murder on the Orient Express (1974 version) Time Bandits Highlander The Untouchables The Hunt for Red October Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Only a cameo but a great film regardless) Rising Sun First Knight DragonHeart The Rock (One of my favourite action films and if you are a COD fan yes that is Rebirth Island)
I know you said Chandra has seen the 4th movie, but has Jordan seen it as well? Regardless, please don't listen to the hate about the 4th movie. Plenty of us love it. As someone that grew up seeing each of these movies in the theatre, and then seeing Crystal Skull when it came out, I absolutely love that movie. And that's only grown with every rewatch. The only thing different about it is that it's Indy in the 1950s, instead of the '30s - and I think they did a perfect job of making the best of that. Lucas and Spielberg, making movies together, is a special kind of magic! ❤❤
#Recommendation - Aside from the original James Bonds, great Sean Connery movies are: - Highlander (1986) - The Name Of The Rose (1986) - The Hunt For Red October (1990) - First Knight (1995) - The Rock (1996) - Entrapment (1999)
That's River Phoenix. Probably the best actor of his generation. He played Ford's son in the Mosquito Coast, and Ford requested him for this. He was known for his dead-on impression of Ford on the Mosquito Coast set. And Ford had said Phoenix looked like him when he was young. He was the older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. But sadly, died at 23. He was also one of the 4 main characters in Stand By Me. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at age 17 for Running on Empty. An unbelievable talent. He was Leo Dicaprio's acting hero, and mine too. Tragedy we lost him so young. Thankfully, we still got many incredible performances to remember him by. RIP
My favorite Sean Connery movie is The Hunt for Red October, but I also like him in The Rock, Entrapment, and if you want to go way back he was pretty good as James Bond in the 60's.
Sean Connery - James Bond movies, especially “Goldfinger.” Another good one from around this time was “The Name of the Rose” where he plays an almost detective like Franciscan monk in the Middle Ages.
Remember Willie Scott’s question remark to Indiana Jones in The Temple Of Doom? ‘What are you supposed to be, a lion tamer?’ Well, we got a lion here and the birth of the whip as Chandra aptly put it
This was awesome, thanks! I think this might be my fav as well. This comment section is great, I love reading all the behinds the scenes trivia everyone has. Also the underlying kitty purring is making me sleepy.
Another fun fact it´s that Sean Connery and Harrison Ford (who played the roles as father and son), have only twelve years of difference among them. Sean had 59 here and Harrison 47 (but Sean looks older without hair and with beard).
Sean Connery movies: The Rock, The Hunt for Red October, Outland, The Presidio, The Untouchables and all his Bonds, including the unofficial one - Never Say Never Again.
I've loved watching these 3 Indiana Jones films along with you both. Some of my favourite films, and your reactions to them have been great. Keep up the fun videos!
That temple carved in the wall of the canyon is just 1 of many structures that make up the city of Petra, in southern Jordan. The earliest writings that mention the people of the town are from 312 BC, At it's peak, the city was believed to have had 20,000 people.
13:13: Catacombs. Used to be a very honorable way to lay the dead to rest. The catacombs of Paris are particularly famous. 19:55: "The only thing he hates more than snakes." I'd actually say he hates snakes more than Nazis. He doesn't become paralyzed with fear around Nazis. 37:12: "I did not think we were going to get horse vs. tank." Knights, heavy armored cavalry, used to be the kings of the battlefield, the unit that was worth the most and the most difficult to take down. At this time, that role belonged to the tank. So Indy on horseback vs. tank is basically a knight versus a larger, stronger, more powerful knight, winning against the stronger opponent through intelligence, guile, and because his cause is just.
Sean Connery was one of the first James Bond actors. Those are worth checking out. My favorite movie of his was The Hunt for Red October. The Rock was a good one too.
Must watch movies with Connery besides 007: The Rock, Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose, Outland. There are others but these are the most recent.
"I just noticed the scar on his chin." That was exactly why River Phoenix needed to accidentally whip himself in the chin as young Indy - to explain how the scar came to be when River didn't have one.
If you wanna dive into Sean Connery's filmography, youneed to know that, in the' 60 he was the original James Bond in Dr No, From Urssia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever. The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose, The Hunt for Red October and The Rock are alos worth watching
@41:05: it is the beautiful site of Petra in Jordan. The structure is Al Khazneh, it is one of the 7 new Wonders of the World. It’s believed to be a royal tomb dating back from the 1st century BC. The narrow gorge leading to it is called the Siq.
Julian Glover, Walter Donovan in this movie, also plays Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thones as well as nearly 200 roles. Just about to turn 90 next year and still going.
For Sean Connery movies, the first 7 James Bond movies, Highlander, The Hunt for Red October. But for another movie like Indiana Jones, try Romancing the Stone with with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito from 1984.
This one is my favorite of the three Indiana Jones movies. I think because I was quite young watching the other two. By the time I saw this in the theater, I was old enough to really appreciate it.
There's an abundance of Connery hits to choose from, but my strong recommendation would be for the criminally overlooked "Outland" (1981). It's essentially a space western and Connery's onscreen chemistry with the marvelous Frances Sternhagen is an absolute delight.
This had to be my favorite Indiana Jones as well. I just loved the whole premise of the story and the end was phenomenal. As far as my favorite Sir Sean Connery movie, it would have to be The Hunt for Red October.
Wait, you sound amazed that there were bodies under the library - have you not heard of the Paris catacombs? 186 miles of skulls and bodies buried under Paris. You should look it up! Don't forget, us Europeans have been here for thousands of years before the US/Canada was even dreamt about!
River Phoenix played young Indy. He was also in Stand by Me. When I was young, I was watching this at a friend's house, and they had a German foreign exchange student. So she was telling us the translations of things that didn't have subtitles. One of them was when Indy is fighting on the tank and falls forward with his face mashed against the periscope. The soldier inside smirks and then says something. The person we were watching with laughed and told us, "He says the Americans are fighting like... and then he uses a not nice word for girls." That temole carved into the cliff face seems too impossible to be real, but it really does exist.
If you want to see more Sean Connery, you've got to see some James Bond. Dr. No (1962) From Russia with Love (1963) Goldfinger (1964) Thunderball (1965) You Only Live Twice (1967) Also, something to consider for St. Patrick's Day is Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959). It's a Disney live-action movie. Connery isn't the lead (listed third in the credits) but you get to hear him sing.
Sean Connery films worth checking out: *Highlander* Though not the main character, his role throughout the film is outstanding. A Fine Madness one of his first non-Bond projects.
Greetings from Australia! Great reaction! This is certainly my favourite of the trilogy - I can also recommend Toy Soldiers - 1991 - Sean Astin, Denholm Elliott (Marcus) - Sneakers - 1992 - Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd - Fool's Gold - 2008 - Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson & How to Steal a Million - 1966 - Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole - enjoy! Karen P 🌷
"You lost today, kid. That doesn't mean you have to like it." There's some respect there.
I also like that the treasure hunter wears similar gear to what Indy will use later. Shows that this encounter had a lasting impact.
Did you know in the credits that guy's character name is actually fedora.
In early script this guy was supposed to be Abner Ravenwood (Marion's dad), they renamed him for some reason, but my headcanon is that he is
Indeed. Conceptual inspiration in that regard is more Charlton Heston's Harry Steele in Secret of the Incas (and possibly some Quatermain here and there).
River Phoenix got to "study" Harrison Ford because they had played father and son in The Mosquito Coast. Ford recommended River for the part.
I like how at the end Henry and the grail knight see eachother. One dedicated his life to finding the holy grail and the other spent his protecting it.
Skeletons under a church? They just excavated two beneath Notre Dame. Being entombed in a church was a high honor.
I wonder how Chandra would react to a place like the Sedlec Ossuary.🤣
The closer your old scraps are to a Saint, the more likely your remains get scooped up in the wake during The Rapture.
Hence the desire to get ones' bones chucked underneath a cathedral.
Without googling it, I'm guessing thats the Norway or Finnish church that has all those human bones in the interior architecture
@@KyleBaran90 Czech, but yeah.
The Catacombs beneath Paris (and most old European cities) are absolutely filled to the brim with bodies, both from ancient crypts and mass graves from plagues. It's crazy how many skulls are down there.
Your cat purring in the background was a nice additional bit of commentary 😂
I thought so too 😂
‘He chose…..poorly.’ Is a quote my friends and I use to this day, whenever someone makes any simple mistake.
Sean Connery: The Untouchables, The Hunt for Red October and his first Bond films!
And Highlander!
'Highlander' is a great film with Sean Connery in it.
Grail Knight: "He chose.........poorly."
Not even William Shatner can top that dramatic pause. 😉
Ah good old Bill. Star student at the Charlton Heston School of Overacting with a Masters in Advanced Scenery Chewing.
The old Grail knight threw the best shade I've ever heard in a comeuppance scene.
Just realized this. Technically, Elsa chose the grail for him. She chose poorly.
@@DocMicrowave ... Elsa intentionally chose the wrong grail for Donovan. After he shot Indiana's father, she wanted him dead. You can see the look on her face after she gave it to him.

She also wanted the grail for herself. Once Donovan was dead, she tried to keep the cup for herself.
@@Stogie2112 No she did not give it to him intentionally. She never really believed so she just picked the prettiest one to her.
Sean Connery is excellent as Captain Marko Ramius in "The Hunt For Red October" (1990). He's the best Russian Commander with a Scottish accent you'll ever encounter! 😉
And, of course, there is Bond. James Bond. 007.
"Dr. No" (1962)
"From Russia with Love" (1963)
"Goldfinger" (1964)
"Thunderball (1965)
"You Only Live Twice" (1967)
"Diamonds Are Forever" (1971)
"Never Say Never Again" (1983)
Agree with The Hunt for Red October. The problem of your Bond list, like many other people do, is to list all of the moves or series that an actor has done, rather than picking and choosing as select few that you feel are the very best.

Outland is a very underrated movie
@@jeffwattier2722 Oh yeah. Forgot about Outland. It was a good movie.
"That is a freaky tomb. There's just skulls in the pockets in the walls?" You should check out the Catacombs in Paris.

The bookshelf behind Harrison Ford is fake.
Sean Connery won an Oscar for his role in Untouchables with Kevin Costner. I also liked him in The Rock with Nicolas Cage.
The Hunt For Red October and The Untouchables. Sean Connery shines in both.
He was pretty good in The Highlander also. Even though it was a small part.
And then there are the Bond movies. I thought From Russia with Love was his best.
Great Sean Connery movie - 'The Rock' co-starring Nichlas cage from 1996
Another, The Hunt for Red October.
The Rock, Goldfinger, The Untouchables, and The Hunt For Red October are all must watch Connery movies.
"I mean, if someone gives you a tank you don't say no."
Sound advice. 👍
Here are my Sean Connery movie recommendations:
- The Rock
- all his James Bond movies especially Goldfinger.
- Outland
- Robin and Marian
- The Hunt for Red October
- Highlander
- The Untouchables
- Zardoz (this one because it's just a weird sci-fi and Connery in a hilarious outfit) 😂
Off to go see if there are any Zardoz reactions out there
I don't get why people always recommend Goldfinger as a Connery Bond film. He doesn't do anything in that film! The plot would have resolved itself identically if he weren't there.

Obviously the best place to start with Sean Connery is James Bond. They were also a big influence on Indiana Jones so I think you guys would love them
35:00 "if somebody gives you a tank, you don't say no."
That's the most UN-Canadian thing I've ever heard a Canadian say...
You take on the trouble of a tank (think of the transmission work!) only when you expect the other guys to loft something that you can't chuck out the barrel yourself.
The primary weapon of a main battle tank is that little machine gun which is hard-strapped beside that huge honkin' cannon barrel sticking out the front of the turret.
Sean Connery had an amazing career, including playing the original James Bond! He was a fantastic actor with an amazing presence. Watch The Hunt For Red October, Medicine Man and Finding Forrester to name a few.

Sean Connery as James Bond in the early films is his most iconic role. A good movie with an older Sean Connery is Entrapment. A good movie with a young Sean Connery in a somewhat minor role is The Longest Day.
Crazy to realize Donovan is Pycell from Game Of Thrones as well.
And General Veers in _The Empire Strikes Back_
And Kristatos, the principal villain opposite Roger Moore's James Bond 007 in "For Your Eyes Only."
Julian Glover has been in several major film and tv franchises throughout the years. Indiana Jones, James Bond 007, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Star Wars, just to name a few. Now if he ever gets cast in a Star Trek film/series, then he would have completed the sci-fi holy trinity of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who.
Sean Connery? UNTOUCHABLES. Nuff said 🙂
31:15 Cat purr getting louder....
Thank you for your compassionate reactions, I love you guys! I am a very lonely man, I suffer from severe depression and there is nobody in my life really caring about me. I don't have the energy to go out and experience life. I don't feel like I deserve it. Watching your reactions, seeing you laugh and observing all the emotions you're going through, gives me the opportunity to break out of my daily routine of boredom and repetition for a short while. Thank you very much, I really mean it!
You are not alone brother. There are many who feel lonely and forgotten especially in today‘s society. Try to keep your head up, though I know it isn‘t easy sometimes, go outside just for a little walk now and then and it will become much simpler to enjoy the many beautiful things in life. Also never be shy to seek professional help, that might be the first step towards a happy and rewarding life. Please keep your hopes high for there are always better times to come, brother! May God bless your soul!
I find Bible reading and study a great comfort. In some ways, I too am lonely-no girl wanted to marry me, and at my age now, it doesn't seem likely
My heart goes out to you. Living with severe depression is so challenging. Know that we love you too, and we're so happy to have you as a part of our movie watching community. ❤❤❤
River Phoenix had a head start in his preparation for this role when he was cast alongside Harrison Ford in The Mosquito Coast, a great film that gets nowhere near enough attention.
If you want another "Indy" fix, watch Spielberg and Peter Jackson's animated TinTin film.. genuinely the best Indiana Jones style adventure we have had since The Last Crusade.
Sean Connery movies:
The Hunt for Red October
Untouchables
The Rock
Name of the Rose
And a few personal favorites that might not be his best work but I love the movies:
Highlander
Outland
Dragonheart
The Presidio
And, of course everybody will say the James Bond movies, and they're good, but then you're invested in a 6-decade franchise, so beware!
There's been a long-standing comparison of Indiana Jones to James Bond. In fact, Indy's white tux at the beginning of Temple of Doom was a deliberate homage to Sean Connery's 007, complete with a (poisoned) martini. So when it came time to cast Indy's father for Last Crusade, Connery was the ONLY choice.
My Sean Connery movie suggestion: The Untouchables. An exciting, incredible film about Al Capone and Elliot Ness. Connery won his only Oscar for his role.
A few years after this was released there was a tv series Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Pretty sure you both would love it.
Harrison Ford has a scar on his chin, young Indy hitting himself with the whip is the origin story for the grown up Indys scar 😁
In Working Girl, he said he got it a different way. In the real world, Harrison was in a car crash, before his Hollywood years so you'll see that scar in all his films.
@@minnesotajones261I was thinking about that too - I love Working Girl!
@@minnesotajones261 I know his real crash was unrelated, but in my meta-headcanon for all of Harrison Ford 's roles, he got the scar in the American Graffiti crash
The rock, Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage! Awesome 90’s action movie!
watching a good movie is great, having the cat on your lap being happy is soo much better.
If you want to see Sean Connery in his most iconic role, watch Goldfinger. He is the first and still best James Bond. The young actor playing young Indy was the late great River Phoenix, brother of Joaquin Phoenix. He was in the movie Stand By Me as Chris Chambers, the main character's best friend.
Obviously James Bond is Sean Connery's most remembered Role, but I think "The Rock" is one of his best. And has a very loose connection to 007.
Really good reaction guys! Although Temple Of Doom was the second movie in the franchise, it's actually a prequel to Raiders Of The Lost Ark
40:00 it was shot in Jordan at a place called Petra.
This movie is thr ultimate father and son!
RIP, Sir Sean Connery, Henry Jones, Sr.
RIP, River Phoenix, young Indy.
Originally Sir Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck were considered for the role of Henry Jones, Sr, but they turned it down, as Olivier would sadly pass away from Pneumonia in 1989.
The original opening scene for the script was going to involve Indy battling ghosts in a haunted Scottish mansion, but Spielberg immediately rejected this idea as it was too similar to POLTERGEIST.
Another idea involved Indy fighting off the Monkey King for the mythical Fountain of Youth.
It was then decided that Indy would team up with his estranged father to fight off the Nazis over the Holy Grail.
The monument carved in rock at the last location is a real place. It's the Al-Khazneh tomb in the city of Petra in Jordan.
Hunt for Red October is a fantastic thriller and one of the best Sean Connery films.
Sean Connery Movies Sure look no further than the fact he was the ORIGINAL James Bond which is why he was chosen to play Indys dad in the first place.
The James Bond films...
Dr No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger (The Best one)
Thunderball
You only Live Twice
Diamonds are Forever
Never Say Never Again
Other films...
Marnie
Zardoz
Murder on the Orient Express (1974 version)
Time Bandits
Highlander
The Untouchables
The Hunt for Red October
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Only a cameo but a great film regardless)
Rising Sun
First Knight
DragonHeart
The Rock (One of my favourite action films and if you are a COD fan yes that is Rebirth Island)
I know you said Chandra has seen the 4th movie, but has Jordan seen it as well? Regardless, please don't listen to the hate about the 4th movie. Plenty of us love it. As someone that grew up seeing each of these movies in the theatre, and then seeing Crystal Skull when it came out, I absolutely love that movie. And that's only grown with every rewatch. The only thing different about it is that it's Indy in the 1950s, instead of the '30s - and I think they did a perfect job of making the best of that. Lucas and Spielberg, making movies together, is a special kind of magic!
❤❤
The problem with both 2 and 4 is they don't pass the "So what?" test.
Sean C has so many awesome movies over his distinguished career ... Any of the 007 movies are great but my fave is The Hunt For Red October 🔥
#Recommendation - Aside from the original James Bonds, great Sean Connery movies are:
- Highlander (1986)
- The Name Of The Rose (1986)
- The Hunt For Red October (1990)
- First Knight (1995)
- The Rock (1996)
- Entrapment (1999)
That's River Phoenix. Probably the best actor of his generation. He played Ford's son in the Mosquito Coast, and Ford requested him for this. He was known for his dead-on impression of Ford on the Mosquito Coast set. And Ford had said Phoenix looked like him when he was young. He was the older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. But sadly, died at 23. He was also one of the 4 main characters in Stand By Me. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at age 17 for Running on Empty. An unbelievable talent. He was Leo Dicaprio's acting hero, and mine too. Tragedy we lost him so young. Thankfully, we still got many incredible performances to remember him by. RIP
Sean Conory: Hunt for the Red October!!!
My favorite Sean Connery movie is The Hunt for Red October, but I also like him in The Rock, Entrapment, and if you want to go way back he was pretty good as James Bond in the 60's.
This is my favourite of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
This series of films just get better and better each time.
yeah... it's too bad they only ever made three.
@CorgiSnapz only made three worth watching...
Crystal Skulls was a total waste of time, effort and energy
Sean Connery - James Bond movies, especially “Goldfinger.” Another good one from around this time was “The Name of the Rose” where he plays an almost detective like Franciscan monk in the Middle Ages.
Remember Willie Scott’s question remark to Indiana Jones in The Temple Of Doom? ‘What are you supposed to be, a lion tamer?’ Well, we got a lion here and the birth of the whip as Chandra aptly put it
This was awesome, thanks! I think this might be my fav as well. This comment section is great, I love reading all the behinds the scenes trivia everyone has. Also the underlying kitty purring is making me sleepy.
Another fun fact it´s that Sean Connery and Harrison Ford (who played the roles as father and son), have only twelve years of difference among them. Sean had 59 here and Harrison 47 (but Sean looks older without hair and with beard).
Sean Connery movies: The Rock, The Hunt for Red October, Outland, The Presidio, The Untouchables and all his Bonds, including the unofficial one - Never Say Never Again.
You know these two have the internet, right? :D
What are those supposed to be, Connery's best films in your book?
Happy December you two🎄🎄🎄🎅🎄🎄
I've loved watching these 3 Indiana Jones films along with you both. Some of my favourite films, and your reactions to them have been great. Keep up the fun videos!
That temple carved in the wall of the canyon is just 1 of many structures that make up the city of Petra, in southern Jordan. The earliest writings that mention the people of the town are from 312 BC, At it's peak, the city was believed to have had 20,000 people.
13:13: Catacombs. Used to be a very honorable way to lay the dead to rest. The catacombs of Paris are particularly famous.
19:55: "The only thing he hates more than snakes."
I'd actually say he hates snakes more than Nazis. He doesn't become paralyzed with fear around Nazis.
37:12: "I did not think we were going to get horse vs. tank."
Knights, heavy armored cavalry, used to be the kings of the battlefield, the unit that was worth the most and the most difficult to take down. At this time, that role belonged to the tank. So Indy on horseback vs. tank is basically a knight versus a larger, stronger, more powerful knight, winning against the stronger opponent through intelligence, guile, and because his cause is just.
Sean Connery was one of the first James Bond actors. Those are worth checking out. My favorite movie of his was The Hunt for Red October. The Rock was a good one too.
@equinsuocha5397 Sean Connery was the first James Bond.
@isabelsilva62023 I thought so, but I wasn't sure.
All of the Sean Connery Bond films are awesome. I also like The Hunt for Red October and The Untouchables but he has many many classics.
Must watch movies with Connery besides 007: The Rock, Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose, Outland. There are others but these are the most recent.
Another great Sean Connery movie: The Rock
"I just noticed the scar on his chin."
That was exactly why River Phoenix needed to accidentally whip himself in the chin as young Indy - to explain how the scar came to be when River didn't have one.
Now you know how they explained the scar on Harrison Ford's chin. I believe this was one of River Phoenix's last roles.
The entrance to the place with the grail is a real historic site. There isn't anything "inside," but the exterior is real.
If you wanna dive into Sean Connery's filmography, youneed to know that, in the' 60 he was the original James Bond in Dr No, From Urssia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever.
The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose, The Hunt for Red October and The Rock are alos worth watching
DR. NO with Sean Connery. The first James Bond movie.
@41:05: it is the beautiful site of Petra in Jordan. The structure is Al Khazneh, it is one of the 7 new Wonders of the World. It’s believed to be a royal tomb dating back from the 1st century BC.
The narrow gorge leading to it is called the Siq.
Julian Glover, Walter Donovan in this movie, also plays Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thones as well as nearly 200 roles. Just about to turn 90 next year and still going.
Only James Bond himself could be the father of Indiana Jones!😊
The Sean Connery movie I would start with is The Hunt For Red October.
For Sean Connery movies, the first 7 James Bond movies, Highlander, The Hunt for Red October. But for another movie like Indiana Jones, try Romancing the Stone with with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito from 1984.
This one is my favorite of the three Indiana Jones movies. I think because I was quite young watching the other two. By the time I saw this in the theater, I was old enough to really appreciate it.
40:54 This is the ancient city of Petra, located in Jordan. Huge complex. The place in this scene is called the Treasury
"How old is he?"
Old enough that he shouldn't be speaking anything resembling English, especially as a French knight.
Sean Connery movies? Gotta start with "The Rock." - The Hunt for Red October also a classis, his Bond movies older but still worth a watch!
For Connery watch Hunt for Res October or the Untouchables.
Good picks for Sean Connery? Well, obviously: James Bond, Hunt for Red October, Highlander I, The Untouchables.
There's an abundance of Connery hits to choose from, but my strong recommendation would be for the criminally overlooked "Outland" (1981). It's essentially a space western and Connery's onscreen chemistry with the marvelous Frances Sternhagen is an absolute delight.
"Outland" is "High Noon" in space.
You gotta watch The Rock! Great Sean Connery film
RIP River...only 2 or 3 years to go...imagine what could have been 😢🎩
I like them in order. Raiders, Temple, and Crusade.
Sean Connery? The first 5 James Bond movies will get you started.
#2 is my personal favorite: From Russia With Love. Great location stuff, a complex plot, and some amazing performances.
The purring cat! 😻
If you are going to go on a Connery exploration, start it in the right way. Dr. No. The first Bond film.
Was trying to figure out where my cat was. Great unintentional fake-out.
This had to be my favorite Indiana Jones as well. I just loved the whole premise of the story and the end was phenomenal. As far as my favorite Sir Sean Connery movie, it would have to be The Hunt for Red October.
I remember my friends being excited that the movie actually uses God's name
Sean Connery is Bond, James Bond.
Wait, you sound amazed that there were bodies under the library - have you not heard of the Paris catacombs? 186 miles of skulls and bodies buried under Paris. You should look it up! Don't forget, us Europeans have been here for thousands of years before the US/Canada was even dreamt about!
The two guaranteed job prospects in the world: Gravediggers and sanitation engineers. Everybody poops, everybody dies.
@@BogeyTheBear There's a third, some say it's an even older profession...
River Phoenix played young Indy. He was also in Stand by Me.
When I was young, I was watching this at a friend's house, and they had a German foreign exchange student. So she was telling us the translations of things that didn't have subtitles. One of them was when Indy is fighting on the tank and falls forward with his face mashed against the periscope. The soldier inside smirks and then says something. The person we were watching with laughed and told us, "He says the Americans are fighting like... and then he uses a not nice word for girls."
That temole carved into the cliff face seems too impossible to be real, but it really does exist.
Indiana was George Lucas’ dog.
Willie was Spielberg’s dog.
Short Round was Temple of Doom writers’ Will Huyck and Gloria Katz’s dog.
If you want to see more Sean Connery, you've got to see some James Bond.
Dr. No (1962)
From Russia with Love (1963)
Goldfinger (1964)
Thunderball (1965)
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Also, something to consider for St. Patrick's Day is Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959). It's a Disney live-action movie. Connery isn't the lead (listed third in the credits) but you get to hear him sing.
Sean Connery films worth checking out: *Highlander* Though not the main character, his role throughout the film is outstanding. A Fine Madness one of his first non-Bond projects.
I would suggest The Rock and The Hunt for Red October for Sean Connery movies.
Greetings from Australia! Great reaction! This is certainly my favourite of the trilogy - I can also recommend Toy Soldiers - 1991 - Sean Astin, Denholm Elliott (Marcus) - Sneakers - 1992 - Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd - Fool's Gold - 2008 - Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson & How to Steal a Million - 1966 - Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole - enjoy!
