Sean Connery and Harrison Ford is a match made in cinematic heaven. For his whole life, Indy saw his dad choosing the grail research over him, but at the end his dad chose saving him over saving the grail, and I always thought that was a powerful moment for Indy. And a perfect way to end the trilogy.

The funny thing is, they were only seven years apart in age.

[@wolfkniteX]

Given that James Bond was a heavy inspiration for Indy (namely all the crazy situations they get in and out of) it just made sense. Hell, Indy was even dressed as Bond in the beginning Temple of Doom with the Tux down to the red flower.

[@VegetaLF7]

to answer Future Ang's question about Indy sleeping, he usually does it in travelling. Those iconic map sequences, Indy is grabbing some shut eye during them. We saw this briefly in the first movie when on the ship, Indy falls asleep while Marion is kissing him (in fairness he had been up something like 2 days straight). We often see Indy napping whenever possible while travelling, because on the scene he might not get much of a chance.

[@WastedPo]

Nice, thoughtful answer. (Though I think she was just asking the question to segue into the sponsor break.)

[@AlexSwanson-rw7cv]

Also it shows that he's rugged and an experienced traveller, being able to grab sleep almost anywhere.

[@benvsreality]

He is also sleeping when Lao Che's flight crew bails on them in Temple of Doom.

[@pistonburner6448]

Usually films skip over the characters sleeping, eating and going to the bathroom. It would make movies incredibly long, boring and disgusting to include those things at anywhere near full length.

[@rimasmuliolis1136]

He WAS Gimli and the voice of Treebeard, the Ent.

[@johnsensebe3153]

@rimasmuliolis1136 I had forgotten about Treebeard. I think his voice is processed for that, but if you listen closely, you can still tell it's him.

[@ctakitimu]

I met him in Wellington, New Zealand. During their LOTR days. Nicest man!

[@AidanLonergan-bz1cp]

Actually no, JRD physically played Gimli less than half of the time. Poor Brett Beattie didn't even get in the credits...

[@johnsensebe3153]

@AidanLonergan-bz1cp He played Gimli in the close-ups, at least. I'm sure the scale issue combined with the amount of make-up covering his face made it easier just to have a double for a lot of shots.

[@zombiepicnic9683]

George Lucas named the character Indiana after his Alaskan Malamute. The dog Indiana would sit up in the passenger seat whenever Lucas would take him on car rides, thus also providing the inspiration for co-piolet Chewbacca. Short Round was the name of a bulldog owned by Temple of Doom screen writers Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz. While Willie was the name of Steven Spielberg's dog. Even stranger, Kate Capshaw (who played Willie) ended up marrying Spielberg seven years after they met on Temple of Doom.

[@Gr8movies12]

Little fun fact. Sean Connery played the 1st James Bond, whose gun of choice was a Walther PPK. That’s the same gun that Henry gets shot with, so Bond gets shot with his own gun.

What isn't often reported is that Jesse Owens was enthusiastically cheered by the German crowd when he won, much to his surprise. However he was completely ignored by the US President FDR on his return from the games, he received no congratulatory telegram and was not invited to the White House and never met FDR. Unlike all the white US Olympic medalists, who were invited to meet the President. Owens always said he wasn't snubbed by Hitler, but by his own President.

[@wsol80]

Fun Fact: The character was named after George Lucas' dog, Indiana. (A Husky)

Though they play father and son in this, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford were close enough in age to be brothers.

Donovan is played by Julian Glover, who portrays General Veers in Empire, he’s the AT-AT commander who destroys Echo Base’s shields generator. The other is Michael Sheard who played the ill fated Admiral Ozzel, the first guy Vader strangles to death in Empire. Here, he plays a slightly more sinister role, filling the boots of one A. Hitler. Also, there a slight goof in the scene where he gives Indy his autograph, Michael Sheard signs his name with his right hand, while Hitler was left handed.

So many hits were coming in the summer of 1989. No way in the world that we the fans, were missing this one. No.1 film of 1989, Oscar winner for sound editing and for the planned trilogy, it was a great ending. Ford & Connery, although they were playing Sr. and Jr., they were actually 12 years apart in age. I loved it for being more than just an adventure story. At it's core, a story of father and son rebuilding their relationship and working together for a greater cause. Even greater is the inclusion of the other supporting characters (Sallah, Brody). Just because they've been there since the beginning like us. The opening scene with Young Indy, he was played by the late River Phoenix. It did inspired a tv series, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", 2 seasons (28 episodes/4 TV movies). 2 more left in the franchise which are the most decisive. See for yourself and make up your own mind about them if their worthy final adventures.

[@leebrandt8597]

Don't you mean that the last 2 movies are the most divisive instead of decisive? Because yes, they are the most divisive of the series.

[@FeaturingRob]

Hey Ange! This is my favorite of the franchise. - Young Indy was played by the late River Phoenix, older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. River played Harrison's son in the film The Mosquito Coast. - Dr. Elsa Schneider was played by actress Alison Doody, who has not made many movies. Her first was a James Bond film (A View to a Kill, 1984). Her most recent was the worldwide Indian hit, RRR, and she plays a villainess in that movie. You should see it if you haven't. - Sean Connery was is only 10 years older than Harrison Ford, and this film created a friendship between the two that lasted until Sir Sean's passing in 2020. The reason he was cast was quite simple. One of the primary influences of Indiana Jones was the British super spy James Bond. Steven Spielberg had a dream of directing a Bond film, and kept getting rejected. So, George told Steven about this character while on vacation during the opening weekend of Star Wars in 1977. George said that Indiana Jones could be Steven's James Bond. So...when it came time to cast Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. Spielberg had a list one one name...the original James Bond 007, Sean Connery. Connery played 007 in a total of 6 official Bond films, and one unofficial film, playing the role from 1962-1967, returning in 1971, and ending ever playing the role in 1983...unless you count The Rock, which there is a whole fan theory that Connery's character is actually James Bond with a different name. I actually subscribe to the theory...but that's me. - Walter Donovan was played by Julian Glover, who did another little film for George Lucas called The Empire Strikes Back. He played General Veers, the commander of the AT-AT attack on Hoth. He also played Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thrones, if you watched that show. - Yes, Indiana was named after a dog. George Lucas's dog...and that dog, an Alaskan Malamute, was also the inspiration for Chewbacca in Star Wars. When the young Indiana gets home, the dog he passes to talk to his dad was an Alaskan Malamute.

[@CDRhammond]

The actor playing Hitler in this movie was also in ESB. He was Admiral Ozzel in that movie the first officer Vader executes for stupid mistakes.

[@kh884488]

The film opens with the young Indy as a Boy Scouts near the turn of the century. A cool fact about Stephen Spielberg: he was an Eagle Scout and in 1989, I attended the national scout jamboree (basically, a big get-together of scouts from across the country) and saw him unveil the new Cinematography merit badge. I think it is so cool that he gave back to the scouting organization despite his busy schedule.

[@jimdetry9420]

That was an excellent ending to the Indiana Jones Trilogy.

[@CowabungaWo101]

An underrated bit in this movie is that Indy's father is played by Sean Connery, an actor known for tough guy leading roles with decades in film, so you think "oh, that's where Indy gets it from! His dad is James Bond!"... then you meet him and he's playing against type as just a total buffoon.

[@TSIRKLAND]

I'm not sure if "buffoon" is the right word. Out of his element, for sure. But I know exactly what you mean. It's great fun to see suave, smooth, sophisticated Sean "James Bond" Connery playing an older man, a stern father figure, an academic, the antithesis of an action hero, comically out of his comfort zone. He plays it exactly right! He was a helluva good actor.

Out of all the side characters in the franchise, Short Round is the most memorable character in the series and one of the most memorable characters in cinematic history imo, and that's why Temple of Doom is good. As a movie though, I think this one is the best one.

Fair enough, but I think Temple of Doom is memorable for a lot of reasons. The mine cart chase and the bridge sequence are absolutely iconic moments in cinema. This one has the best trap room in an Indy movie (I think). Yeah lots of things. Shorty is great though, don't get me wrong. I still like the trilogy in the order of 1, 3, 2. But that is more about the other two being so great, not about Temple of Doom being bad.

[@harizonflamingice3167]

In case no one else mentions it, a handful of actors in this film also just happen to be in James Bond films. The most obvious being Sean Connery, Henry Jones Sr., also being James Bond himself. Then Elsa's actress (Alison Doody) playing Jenny Flex in A View to a Kill in 1985, Walter Donovan's actor (Julian Glover) playing Kristatos in For Your Eyes Only in 1981, and one I tend to forget is Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) is General Pushkin in The Living Daylights in 1987. The Last Crusade started off as my favorite Indiana Jones film, but the more time has passed, the more Raiders of the Lost Ark kind of took over for me but it's a close battle, and Temple of Doom is still great even if I don't reach for that as much as the other two.

Immediately after that, is the episode *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Treasure* *of* *the* *Peacock's* *Eye* which is the same diamond that Lao Che was gonna give to Indy(in "Temple of Doom"), but then it was lost(however, Short Round tracked it to Hawaii in 1957, and informed Indy of this). * Indy then moves back to Princeton, NJ and begins working on his G.E.D. After this, in May of 1919, the episode called *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Winds* *of* *Change* takes place. He finishes the work on his G.E.D., a little late, and then applied at the "University of Chicago". Despite the fact that it was past the deadline, his father manages to pull some strings for him so that he could begin taking a major in "Linguistics", but he had some catching up to do for starting late. Also as a result, he was gonna have to wait until May of the following year to receive his GED along with the college graduates. Shortly after this, he moved to Chicago. For one of his elective classes, he takes "Archaeology 101". * This is where he meets Abner "Fedora Garth" Ravenwood, the professor of the class. He recognized him as the man who gave him his first fedora in the desert of Utah in 1912. They become fast friends, and he meets Abner's 15 year old daughter "Marion"(Indy is 20 years old at this time). In January of 1920, he applied at the "Sorbonne University" in Paris, France(and he spent a lot of time in France during WWI). This is where the episode "Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues" takes place. Then, the prologue of the novel "Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi" takes place. * He is then accepted by Sorbonne University, and moves to Paris in June of 1920, but while en route, the episodes: *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Scandal* *of* *1920* and *Young* *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Hollywood* *Follies* takes place. His credits from the University of Chicago transfer over to the Sorbonne University. This is where he meets fellow student "Rene Belloq". They compete with each other, often in the form of classroom debates and love interests. He finishes his basic studies in May of 1921. Then the rest of the novel "Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi" takes place. * Then, the prologue of the novel *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Unicorn's* *Legacy* takes place(I think). He then receives his Bachelor's Degree in "Archaeology" in May of 1923, and he receives his Master's Degree in "Archaeology" in May of 1924. In 1925 Indy completes his thesis. Only to have it stolen from him by, none other than, Belloq. Indy knew that Belloq stole his thesis, but unfortunately there was no way to prove it. So he quickly began to work on another thesis, and it turned out to be even better than his first one, putting Belloq to shame. He receives his Ph.D. in "Archaeology" in May of 1925. * Then, in August of 1925, fellow archaeologist, and friend of the family, "Marcus Brody", helps Indy land his first teaching job in London, where he falls in love with a Scottish grad-student of his named "Deirdre Campbell", and eventually ends up marrying her. It is heavily implied that one of Indy's very first students, was "Wu Han"(as seen at the beginning of "Temple of Doom"). He mentions in the film that he had followed Indy on many adventures. Yet he is never mentioned, and never appears in any of Indy's adventures. Strange. * Also, this is around the time when archaeologists "Ernest Forrestal" and "Rene Belloq" prove to be his 2 top competitors. However, Indy was more of an "Antiquarian" than an archaeologist. Also, *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Raiders* *of* *the* *Lost* *Ark* wasn't the first, or last, time Indy was hired by U.S. Army Intelligence. Those two reasons are why Indy had so many adventures. While other "archaeologist" had "0" adventures. Aaahhh, now it makes sense. O.k., now I get it. I love how someone did a montage video of Indy cracking his whip, to the song called *Whip* *It* by "Devo". That's cool.

I normally don't read a huge post like that, but loved yours. Thanks for sharing!

[@AlexKnight009]

@@WesMordine * No problem. You're probably wondering how Indy got a Master's Degree in only 1 year, and then a Ph.D. only 1 year after that. I don't think anyone knows the answer to that. Who knows, maybe his dad and Professor Ravenwood pulled some strings for him. I don't know. Also, maybe archaeology was such a new subject of study, that it didn't take as long to get a Master's or a Doctorate in it as it did other fields of study in the 1920's. When Indy moved to Paris, he maintained a long distance relationship with Marion. * Abner forbid Marion to go with him. She tried to elope with Indy before he left, but Indy told her that he needed to focus on his studies. That he would always write, and he would come back for her after he received his doctorate. When he fell in love with "Deirdre", he sent Marion a "Dear Jane" letter, and Marion felt that it was the ultimate betrayal. This made Marion hate him until he rescued her from "The Raven" bar in Nepal, 1936. It's also what caused Indy and Abner to have a "falling out". Abner wasn't dead though. * Indy did see Abner again in the *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Further* *Adventures* Marvel comic book issues #17 *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Grecian* *Earn* and #18 *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *City* *of* *Yesterday's* *Forever* which actually turned out to be pretty far away from where "The Raven" bar used to be in "Lalitpur"(Patan), Nepal. Abner moved to Lalitpur(with Marion in tow) because he had been in correspondence with another archaeologist who lived in a house that Abner later converted into "The Raven" bar when he moved into the abandoned house. * The archaeologist, that had been in contact with Abner, claimed he got a hot lead that gave the exact location of the legendary paradise of "Shangri-La", and that it has an actual village(or city) named "Ra-Lundi" where they worshipped a god called "F'han-Tal". All he told Abner was that it was along the Kunlun Mountains farthest to the west in Tibet. It was the last thing Abner had said to Indy in a letter(that Indy kept) before their falling out in 1925. Abner first went to the archaeologist's house near Lalitpur, and began to study any notes the archaeologist left behind. Meanwhile, he got to work using his own money to transform the house into a bar as a means of revenue for food and supplies. * Abner put together a team, and hired 3 or 4 teamsters with horses and wagons, and took an actual road that was there from Lalitpur, north-east to another road and turned west, following it all the way to the western Kunlun Mountains. Which may have taken weeks just to reach the mountains themselves. Never mind all the effort it was gonna take to get to the westside of the Kunlun Mountain that is farthest to the west, and then begin climbing it in search of a "hidden" paradise. The thought had probably even already crossed Marions mind that she may very well never see her father ever again......but she did.

There was also a "young indiana jones" TV series at one point. It was pretty decent from what I remember.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to the perfect finale of the Indiana Jones trilogy! And the backstory to Indy's hate of snakes, the scar on his chin, his whip, and his hat just were even better! Also the third appearance of Pat Roach, who died as a Sherpa and the boxer in the first movie, as the Thugee pulled into the grinder by his sash in the second movie, and as a Nazi seen briefly with the officer hurrying to get onto the zeppelin before it leaves. He died in this one too, but the scene ended on the cutting room floor. 😕 But, still, his double death duty in the first movie still means he averages one on screen death per movie. 😀 As much as I love the first and the second (my least favorite because of Willie, but Short Round makes up for it), this one is my overall favorite. After it came out a lot of my friends called me Kazim for a while thanks to my curly hair and extreme summer tan (plus my faith) which I kinda liked. If I had ever gotten a tattoo it would likely have been the cruciform sword. 😛

[@emilmlodnicki3835]

It's even more interesting when you dive deep into who's books they were burning.

[@SeanBlader]

"Book burning, tragic and a representation of the genocide to come." Ange giving us a little history to go with our vintage movie. I believe what comes before book burning, is book banning... Also Ange, people are going say not to watch any of the Indiana Jones ones after this, but they're not BAD movies per-se, they aren't as good as Raiders or Crusade, but they are absolutely worth watching and reacting to.

[@jefferyziems3935]

The scene where he says that X never marks the spot in school gets proving wrong in the scene in the library where he finds the big X

[@tubekulose]

You might be the first "Indiana Jones" newbie I've ever witnessed, who isn't absolutely astounded by learning that Sean Connery plays Indy's father. 😮😮😮

[@mattp6089]

It is scientifically accurate that if you have a liquid which is burning at the surface where it meets with the air, separated at that surface level from a section of the liquid which is not burning, the fire will not spread across the boundary. However, there is fire inside the casket in the shot of the interior, so they should be burning to death in that bad boy, at least until all the oxygen gets used up. And then they have a different problem. One of the things you might not pick up on with Elsa is that she doesn't tell anyone that Indy and his dad have escaped until official word reaches Berlin from the castle. She keeps her meeting with Indy in Berlin to herself. She is ambitious, self-serving and greedy. She is also in service to the Nazis, but I really think that one's a bridge too far for her.

[@notyourfriend1634]

This is my fave indie movie, i remember watching it as a kid and being amazed

[@P.A.T.S.91]

The Indiana Jones trilogy holds a special place in my heart, the whole series actually stops my father from drinking. So when there's a marathon on TV he doesn't pick up a beer bottle, even after his death I still watch knowing this sobered up my father even for a while.

[@jefferyziems3935]

Can you watch the two movies called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny? Please

[@jasondoss763]

Not only is John Rhys-Davies Gimli, but he's also Treebeard.

[@TheNorthernSkeptic]

Love your reaction. And if you want to see Sean Connery who plays «Papa Jones» and like some of the other comments here, THE original James Bond, in what he himself says is one of his fave films to be in, I HIGHLY recommend watching The Rock from 1996 at some point.

[@Akatsukileader9]

Angelina: Bring back Marion! Steven Spielberg: Will do.

[@shallowgal462]

Yup, Indy's father is James Bond, Agent 007 (captain of _The Red October)._ Sallah wasn't Gimli's voice - he was the entire Gimli (and the Professor on _Sliders)._ This is my favorite!

[@paulsmith3806]

Regarding your question of when Indy sleeps, I am pretty sure he sleeps when he is flying around the world to the different destinations, you know when you see the red line going from one continent to another. That is when he sleeps.

[@spinblack0]

He literally falls asleep on Marion on the submarine and on the plane with Willie and pretty sure he had a nap after Elsa....

[@spinblack0]

I'm sorry on the boat before the submarine.

[@rockero1313]

Funny that you mentioned a storm? with strong winds and all, and we had today a little storm here where I live (Puerto Rico) with very strong winds and lots of rain. I know you recorded this earlier in the week but you're posting it today so it counts as today 😁😁😁😁 my favorites Indy movies in order are: 1. Raiders (favorite movie of all time) 2. Last Crusade 3. Temple of Doom 4. Dial of Destiny 5. Crystal Skull I love them all but that's my order.

[@briankarcher8338]

Sean Connery has a great movie catalog you can explore. Goldfinger, The Rock, Entrapment.

[@blacktronlego]

Her name was Elsa, but she wouldn't 'Let it go.' 'Last Crusade' is my favourite, I saw 'Temple of Doom' in the cinema when it first came out. I didn't see 'Raiders' until it was on TV not long before 'Last Crusade' was in cinemas.
