Oh man, I somehow clipped off the ending music when I fixed the copyright issue. It was so good!!! It capped the video off perfectly. That makes me so sad…
Can you make a cut of the last bit showing the last part starting time 43:00 and on?
@@notmyeyeballgames7798 I might be able to do that…I’ll see what I can do.
Also, I remember being a kid watching this movie the first time and looking over during the jeep chase scene and seeing an “older” guy (he was probably in his 20s) who was leaning over the chair in front of him, gripping the back of THAT seat. I was riveted by the movie, but it struck me that even an adult was too.
I only recently found out that this movie's budget was considered restrained after Hollywood had started doubting that Spielberg was all that good after 1941 flopped on a significantly larger budget. You can't tell by any means, they spent the money well.
Under budget and ahead of schedule!
I'm surprised Harrison only signed for three films initially, because the deal with Paramount was for 5 films.
Love your mini-doc style of vid essay. Hope the channel takes off soon!
They sure did!
This is not one of "tha" greatest documentaries it is "the" greatest documentary I've seen on Indiana Jones in history. The footage first of all has some things I have never seen and the breakdown of every piece of history is perfectly laid out. Beyond congrats on this masterpiece and the memories good or bad it brought ❤
Thank you so much!
Same, I didn't know some things, like the audience responses at the films, back when Internet wasn't important to say your opinions on film.
Really enjoy your story telling format- excellent work!
This was fantastic. I love this documentary style format. Seriously, great work!
44:36...I hate this timeline. Kingdom of the crystal skull is an Indiana Jones movie. I have no problem with this character to be happy and happy all around.
But now, everything is going down the toilet. A hero and a role model for men now dies in 2012 at the hands of the coffee lady. For me, that decrepit old man from the Disney company is not Indy...none of it. No rewatch value...like a turd, once you flush, you don't want to see that again.
56:46 Savage!
I love your content, this was an amazing watch. I never bothered to watch crystal skull or dial of destiny, because why. But I'm a fan of the original three.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! You are better off sticking with the original trilogy. Indy riding off into the sunset with his dad was the best ending any fan could ask for. The wedding to Marion and taking the hat from his kid was a close second.
: The studio failed with Shia as the Indy Replacement, and so they decided to push harder and fail with Fleabag as the Indy Replacement. Shit was awful.
Hmmm... George sounded MUCH different in 1978 😂 Although Disney put the death nail in it, I'll never forgive Spielberg for that monkey chase sequence in Crystal Skull.
I dont necessarily agree with all the points, but great job with this.
I would have preferred they stop with last crusade. I allow crystal skull because of Indy and Marion’s wedding. But you are so right about that monkey chase sequence.
@@mysocalledgenxlife Yeah I forgave Crystal Skull for giving us the marriage, and for introducing Mutt - while not completely trying to overshadow Indy. The symbolic trading of the hat at the end endeared me to the movie as a bonus. The Last Crusade was the true ending, and Crystal Skull made a nice little encore performance. I didn't need more than that. They should have cut the monkeys though XD, and I kind of wish these men would start to take testosterone before making movies they really lost their edge later in life lol.
Another great video, keep it up!
I know I'm in the minority in saying this, but I never minded Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, it was one of the most fun experiences my 12 year old self had in the theater (Nuke the Fridge is comedy gold, sue me) , and I watched it religiously along with the other films. I enjoyed the 50's sci-fi and Cold War angle it had, I thought Shia Labeof's Mutt Williams was a fun addition and Harrison Ford still had it. Now that I'm older, sure, it had some flaws, but thought it was a nice little epilogue to Indy's story. As time went by I simple left it at that. I had no real desire for another one. Especially not after seeing The Force Awakens. I still haven't watched Dial.
I always liked KOTCS as well, just as a fun summer popcorn flick that gave us a taste of what we enjoyed from the original trilogy. I was also just really happy to see Harrison Ford on the big screen again, proving he was the same action star we loved in the 80s and 90s.
DoD is just as bad as the Star Wars sequel trilogy and Jurassic World movies.
Disneyco. destroys so many iconic films, books and other media its beyond funny. Disneyco. is literally "where movies go to die."
"Disney Lucasfilm... The very worst there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every franchise in the room, accept no substitutes."
Just want to say, as a 54 year old Gen Xer, you produce informative, insightful, intelligent and amazing stuff. Please keep doing it. It feeds my need for nostalgia for the last great group of Americans: Generation X.
Awww thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. I’ve got a lot of big plans to level up the channel, and it’s all about Gen X 😊
Spielberg describing Kathleen Kennedy at the end is worth the whole hour. Great...great job! Lifelong Indy fan...and agreed...should have ended it in the sunset in 89
Great cut! Disney sucks. Indiana Jones inspired me to do what I do today. The real ones, I mean. I haven't seen Dial of Dysentery and don't plan on it.
Same. I didn’t watch dial of destiny either.
This is a wonderful documentary, some of your best work since the backstory on The Incredible Hulk TV series. ❤
Thank you! I wish I wouldn’t have messed up the final music track! But oh well. 🤷🏻♀️ it’s performing very well, so I’ll live with it.
Everyone can Thank CK for the fuck up of 5 movie
Spielberg instituting that PG-13 rating really hurt cinema. Because now films were too afraid to ever make an R rated film. You gave people license to water down their films forever to get mass market appeal. So we stopped getting movies like Temple of Doom outright.
You are so very right. And it gave the MPAA so much power and control over studios and directors. Have you seen the documentary This Film Has Not Yet been Rated? I was thinking about doing a video on it. The MPAA ratings system is BS.
Greatest Movie of all time(Raiders). OK maybe not but right up there.
I'm wondering how I missed the toy line...damn another unfulfilled collection to search out.😂
Crystal Skull > Dial of Destiny.
People can say what they want about Crystal Skull (I enjoyed it for what it was), at least Indy still felt like Indy and the ending when he takes his hat back from his son was gold. Also, I never had a problem with the idea of aliens being in the Indiana Jones universe. If you're going to have an ark that melts your face, or the fountain of youth, you might as well have aliens in there at that point. The filmmakers at least tried to make it fit within the universe.
It's also not like there haven't been theories about aliens helping to build our civilization or being worshipped as gods. You could've easily called Crystal Skull "Indiana Jones and The Chariots of The Gods" (a little nod to Erich von Däniken's novel and claims). I also give the film leeway because I've always been interested in Von Daniken's claims, primarily since I first got into the Stargate franchise (which also dealt with a crystal skull in one episode).
I completely agree. If you get rid of the monkey scene, Crystal Skull is not bad. It had elements that were absolute gold. Ideally, they should have stopped at 3. But 4 was an acceptable post script.
@@mysocalledgenxlifeYeah like an epilogue.
Yeah I also enjoyed it and I've seen it plenty of times, but I'm aware of it's flaws, sure, the alien thing is weird, and the monkey thing is ridiculous, but it still feels like an Indy adventure, and I loved that Marion was back.
But a big complaint I have is how Mac is useless, remove him out of the movie and it stays the same, the same excuse some people have for Raiders and Last Crusade.
@@jesustovar2549 I can understand how some fans thought it was weird that the film dealt with aliens, but I thought it was a pleasant surprise. The marketing didn't really make that clear, so when it was revealed in the film itself, I kept thinking of Chariots of The Gods and all the theories about aliens over the years. Also, imo, I have an easier time believing in aliens and alien tech as opposed to lost arks and the fountain of youth. Don't get me wrong, that stuff's still fun in the films, but aliens are just more believable to me.
@@mysocalledgenxlife Thanks, man. You're much kinder to my comment than another user named RetroBlasting was when I posted it on his channel. After I posted it, he replied stating that he spent a lot of time defending Skull in his Dial of Destiny review and told me to "check myself." Granted, i made the post before finishing his video, but I don't think he needed to be so stern about it.
it was done in 1989
For all intents and purposes, yes.
In the beginning I loved how you showed some of the Indy audition footages and showed some of the other actors. Tim Matheson and Sam Neil wouldn't have worked. Peter Coyote maybe, just a thin slice of maybe, could have been okay. Tom Selleck, I truly think, could have done it nicely. But we obviously got Harrison Ford. He BECAME Indiana Jones, and stuck with it. And For God's Sake NO! I haven't nor will I see that Dial of Destiny crap.
Like many others, I only care about RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK , TEMPLE OF DOOM , and THE LAST CRUSADE ✝. If I want another film, I will watch THE LIBRARIAN "The Spear of Destiny."
I am curious if you've seen the Retroblasting review of Dial Of Destiny.
I have not. I will look it up. It was probably in my playlist that I created to save clips for this video, but I didn’t get to it. There were soooo many to choose from.
His review is one of the best I’ve ever seen. He GETS Indy in a way that Disney never will.
Heard recently that Spielberg really enjoyed being on set directing.. and Lucas, not so much.
I still enjoy TBBT episode where they all reluctantly prove Indy had no part in the actual outcome of Raiders of the Lost Ark Hahaa
Btw, what?! Missed your so-called commentary & ok-bye on this one 😂
For this series I keep my mouth shut. 😂😂 I let the people tell the story. I’ll bring back my so called commentary and ok bye next video.
@@mysocalledgenxlife hope your home sale gets done SAP! How’s your tshirt idea comin?? I’m movin forward w/ 1 idea to start, simple white on black design #GenX4ever!
Remember that TBBT episode where the boys are going to see Raiders and they steal the film at the end, being chased by all fans, like if it was an Indy film, music and all?
@@jesustovar2549 yup I think Amy even ruins Raiders too.. and they get chased by Will Weaton and that angry mob from the theater; so ROTLA!!! 😂😂🤣
@@1walicki I sold my house again!! Appraisal is happening today. As soon as I move I’ll focus on merch and taking the channel to the next level. I’ve just got too much going on right now.
I finally saw Dial of Destiny a few months ago after avoiding it in theaters (as much as I would have loved to see my hero on big screen), I enjoyed it, I wasn't expecting it to be good, it still has that feeling of adventure, John Williams score really works and I love the 60s setting, but I still have problems with the story and the shoehorned character of Helena.
Being that said, I don't plan to rewatch it, just like with the Star Wars sequel trilogy, I keep with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg work, yeah even Crystal Skull is entertaining to me despite it's flaws, but it still feels like Indy.
Cheers from a 20 year old Indy/Star Wars fan.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! Sounds like you were raised right 😊. So much wisdom for a 20 year old.
Not going to lie I liked Dial of Destiny over Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
@mysocalledgenxlife
Thanks for the presentation.
Once again just as in the case of the "Star Wars" franchise to they sold away their rights to a company/studio which doesn't actually care for/the property - Disney sees it as a cach grab which they can bastardize any way they wish.
Twar.
Sad.
Kathleen Kennedy really wanted to make a Helena Shaw movie
Nah, Disney didn't ruin it. The only good one is Raiders. Temple of Doom has the terrible Kate Capshaw playing an obnoxious character and the entire film is like an imitation of an Indiana Jones film by someone who really didn't understand what made Raiders great. The Raiders toy commercials are more interesting than any of the subsequent Indiana Jones films.
Dial of Destiny was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen in theaters.
Absolutely pointless video. Nothing new. An hour of my life I want back.
Hi. Thanks for your nasty comment. This is a channel for Gen X and the pop culture and news events from our childhood. It’s not about new things. This video told the story of the creation and destruction of a popular character through the people that lived it. No one forced you to watch the whole hour. But thank you for that. The watch time and comment really help.
"Disney ruined...." is such a tired and lame take at this point regardless of the quality of the recent films.
Lame or not it's the truth lol. Look at the like to dislike ratio on starwars's most recent show announcement. People are tired of Disney's garbage.
@@lumbagoboi1649 Sure. I'll really take a good hard look at what people are saying about a show that no one has seen yet and carefully consider those opinions. That's kind of my point here. Disney can and should be critiqued for their handling of these characters and stories we love, but you gotta do better than "Disney bad" if you want me to take you seriously. I didn't care for Dial of Destiny, but you could cast Pete Davidson in the starring role for 100 Indy sequels and it still wouldn't ruin the masterpiece that is Raiders.
It's cuz they ruin everything they touch. Star wars and Indiana are the major examples, it is not a blanket statement. Hell they even ruined Pirates by siding with Amber Turd
@@MaxRamos8 So a couple of weird actors have a bad relationship and Pirates is ruined? The ride is now crap and the movies are somehow different? That's an even worse argument than the premise of this video.
I don't understand this format. I've seen all of these clips, why am I watching this? Why don't I just watch the archives and special features? I mean, here's a thought, if you're trying to say something, and it's a real simple one: words. I don't have the patience for this. Here's what I wanted to say, Dial of Destiny was fantastic, a perfect end to the series, and anyone who disagreed is either not a real Indy fan or spoiled by modern movies, and just didn't appreciate what they got. There, you know what I think, took you five seconds, and I'm out of your hair. See how easy that was?
It’s a collection of clips to tell a story. Maybe you don’t want to watch the three hour documentary for each movie? If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But you are the only negative comment I’ve gotten about it. So we will agree to disagree.
The film was a depressing slog that lacked the fun and energy of the previous films. I’ve been an Indy fan for over 30 years and would be happy to never see this film again.
What a total anus you must be
