The guy who gives Indy the hat in 1912 is named "Fedora" in the credits, but there's a theory that he was supposed to be Abner Ravenwood, Marion's father. Also, a funny coincidence that just after Elsa died reaching for the Grail, Henry says to Indy "let it go" 🤣

[@diarrheagondola]

Then he goes on to run a home for mentally unstable kids in Friday the 13th part 5.

[@infin8um]

The guy who gave Indy the hat was named Garth, not Abner

[@ziggythedrummer]

@@infin8um I've not heard that before - the final cut doesn't mention Abner but I believe the intention was for it to be him

[@infin8um]

@@ziggythedrummer I see the appeal to connect everything, but if the intention was for him to be Abner Ravenhood, they most likely wouldn't have named him Garth.

[@OtterVomit]

More than a theory - in the early drafts it was Abner. But they didn't want to pay royalties to Lawrence Kasdan for use of the character. Actor Richard Young says on set he was told the character was supposed to be Abner Ravenwood. Also accordoing to Young, the name "Garth" did not come about until the film's subtitles came out - it was never in the script and was never even spoken on screen.

[@CrimsonRevenant666]

The company my dad worked for in the 90s build home theaters, I was lucky enough to go to work with him one day. I got to double feature The Last Crusade and Jurassic Park when I was 6.

[@bossfan49]

Indy's hat is a fedora. Henry, Sr.'s hat is just a tweed bucket style hat. The Scottish have 2 hats that are somewhat similar to the French beret. A casual one called a Tam O'Shanter, and a more ceremonial one called a Balmoral Bonnet. Also, when Indy was on his archeological adventure at the beginning, it may have been during Spring Break.

[@benschultz1784]

Young Indiana Jones is played by the late River Phoenix, elder brother of Joaquin Phoenix.

[@starlighter93]

When Indy tried to grab the grail in the end it wasn't out of greed. He just knew how important it was to his father and he was still desperate to get his approval. But when he told him to let it go it was a moment of reconciliation for both of them. (not sure reconciliation is the right word, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say. :D )

[@przemekkozlowski7835]

It was not greed as much as obsession. Indiana is obsessed with recovering the artifacts and putting them in a museum for the world to see. He spent almost 30 years trying to recover that cross at the beginning of the movie. He does not give up easily. He also risked his life dozens of times in the last few days to get to the Grail and now he is just a few inches from recovering the Grail. His father snaps him out of it.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

If only he had his trusty whip he could have snagged the grail

[@tru3sk1ll]

Yeah he was trying to make his dad happy but his dad realized that Indy was the real treasure he had all along and never saw it

[@infin8um]

A useless bit of trivia: the horse Indiana Jones was riding was "Hurricane". He remains Harrison Ford's favourite horse and actually had no problem racing up to the tank or the other stunts (where is the Oscar for lead horse?)

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

They were called airships and it wasn't really a safety issue. The Hindenburg was originally build to use helium, but the USA issued an embargo because there were concerns it could be used against their allies even before WWII. So the Hindenburg was modified to use hydrogen, which led to the well known accident.

[@alancranford3398]

Lucas produced a television series called "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones." Meet Lawrence of Arabia. Fight in the trenches of the First World War. Ride with Pancho Villa and John "Black Jack" Pershing. This prequel Indiana Jones television series lasted three seasons Thanks for sharing your reactions. Your funny little edit efforts are appreciated.

Sean Connery rose to fame playing James Bond, a British spy who routinely uses a German pistol called the Walther PPK. It was introduced into the German army on the mid 1930s and was their standard sidearm throughout WWII. It’s the same pistol Donovan uses to shoot Henry Jones, Sr. James Bond, shot with James Bond’s own gun.

[@gallendugall8913]

"How does that work? Is it just on fire on the top?" Fun fact! It's not the liquid burning, it's the vapor mixed with oxygen in the air that burns. Of course the heat causes more of the liquid to vaporize and the rising heat draws in more oxygen so the flame sits very close to the surface of the liquid.

[@Thomgxx100]

Still laughing about the "butt" song you added to the golden effigy scene in Indiana Jones 1

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction like always, this one is my favourite from the saga. Too clarify Indiana and his father will not live forever or have a long life the powers of the grail were only inside the temple, remember what the crusader told him, Grail only grants immortality if you drink every day and the Grail cannot pass the great seal. And this movie has some fun fact like they got 2,000 rats that were specially bred for the catacombs scene, and many extras during the nazi rally in Berlin were asked to cross theirs fingers behind their back during the nazi salute, and the line that sean connery "talks in her sleep" was completely improvesed. Keep up the good work i loved this one.

[@ronfehr7899]

The rats in the scene under the library were especially bred for this movie, so as not to spread infectious disease during filming.

[@teambanzai9491]

Airships still exist. They used to be filled with hydrogen gas (which is highly flammable) but now use an inert gas (helium). The company that originated the rigid airships, Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH still exists and is still based in Friedrichshafen, Germany. They build the Zeppelin NT (Neue Technologie) which are helium-filled airships but these pale in size to the most famous zeppelin of all, D-LZ 129 Hindenburg, which in 1937, burst into flames just after arrival to Lakehurst, New Jersey in the U.S. from a flight from Frankfurt, Germany. About a third of the nearly 100 people onboard perished in the accident. A modern Zeppelin NT is only 75 m long compared to the massive, 245 m long Hindenburg. There are still a number of companies that are invested in the technology of rigid airships such as Hybrid Air Vehicles and Flying Whales. You can even book a sightseeing ride on a Zeppelin NT. Goodyear owns and operates 4 Zeppelin NTs.

[@Shritistrang]

I used to live near Friedrichshafen a couple of years ago, and it was always pretty cool to see the Zeppelins flying over the lake.

[@karlsmith2570]

22:14 "What Is That Giant Coat?" That's a trench coat or possibly a Peacoat

[@EC-hx2ou]

Overcoat or Greatcoat. Trenchcoat and peacoats look very different. Think Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca and RDJ as Sherlock Holmes in the first movie or USN sailors, especially in WWII movies

[@bobbuethe1477]

The most fun part for me was remembering that Sean Connery was movies' first James Bond 007, and was involved in death-defying chases years before Indy.

[@diarrheagondola]

TIL Aqua had a song other than "Barbie Girl" that someone heard. Also, the Hindenburg was a famous airship that exploded, killing 36 people. It was designed to use helium, but the US banned exports of helium (and they were the only real source of it) to prevent other countries from using it (balloons were a big thing in WWI). The Hindenburg was designed to use helium, but they ended up filling it with hydrogen due to the ban, which is very flammable.

[@karlsmith2570]

The reason why The Hindenburg used hydrogen instead of helium is because in other countries, including Germany, hydrogen was much more prevalent than helium was

[@diarrheagondola]

​@@karlsmith2570And that was due to the 1925 Helium Act.

[@tubekulose]

18:48 No, Indiana is the one, who wears the fedora. His father is wearing a trilby. 🙂 20:48 I've always been wondering who came up with the idea of a fingerpost in Austria showing the ways to Berlin and Venice! That's like a post in France that specifically shows the directions to Edinburgh and Barcelona. 😂

[@callumcruickshank5236]

The first film is a cinema masterpiece but this for me is the GREATEST Indie film. The Sean Connery and Ford father son relationship just makes this movie. Fond memories of watching this film growing up!

[@bossfan49]

Indy, not "indie"...which is short for independent.

[@dbrooks76]

Not sure if anyone else had said, but Indiana was Lucas' own dog that used to ride in car next to him and gave him the idea of Chewy. So it is fitting for Ford to play the character called that.

[@malkmuslistener5459]

every boat explodes like that, eventually

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

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 quite older).

[@ronfehr7899]

Either that or Henry Sr. got married really young. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

[@drigerdranzer7514]

Fun fact. Hitler is played by the same actor that played Admiral Ozzel in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. Donovans actor played General Veers that lead the attack on the ground at Hoth, also in Empire. He also played the villain in James Bond, For your eyes only. Interesting detail is that Donovan shoot Henry Jones senior, Sean Connery who played Bond with a Walther PPK, same model that Bond use so technically James Bond were shot with his own gun.

[@bossfan49]

It's a rigid air-ship, or Zeppelin. They have framework and rigid spines as you can see. Blimps are inflatable like balloons. Inside the Zeppelin's large chamber are several smaller chambers filled with hydrogen, which is lighter than air, but also highly flammable. The one that famously exploded was the "Hindenburg". By then they had switched to non-flammable helium, but the gas was rare and the main supply controlled by the US and thus, not available in Germany. Hatay is a province of Turkey. One of it's largest cities is Iskenderun (which is where Sallah and Marcus meet.) Iskenderun was formerly known as Alexandretta. That's why they are there.

[@Spikeelsucko]

not only can rats swim, but they're pretty good at it considering how tiny their paws are

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

A fun fact, it´s when young Indy uses the whip and gets a scar himself in the chin. Harrison Ford, in real life, has a scar in the same place, but in his case was due to a car crash when he was young.

I think when Indiana is besieged by students in university it is not just because of his popularity. I suppose due to his adventures he is way back on his professor duties so everybody wants something from him - grades, reviews, themes and so on.

[@beannathrach2417]

The son grows up an archaelogist (who goes outside to study ruins) while the father is a philologist (stays in libraries) who studies languages and old books. In addition to the movies there is a television series _Young Indiana_ which are his adventures from a young boy to a young man. This was intended to close out the movies series. But the call of the money was too loud and they made the _Crystal Skull_. That has mixed reactions. Recently they made the fifth, _Quest for Another Cash Grab_ which has few fans. The Holy Grail is the cup Jesus drinks from at the Last Supper. In the story of the crucifixion Jesus is stabbed with spear and water comes out instead of blood; some stories have this fluid was caught in the same cup. It was added to medieval King Arthur stories. It's been lurking in European hero stories since. Around the 1950s some french added a new twist that the grail was about Mary Magdalene which was picked up for _The Davinci Code_. I like Hayao Miyazaki movies with his fantasy airships. I find the idea romantic and wish we had them crossing the Pacific and Atlantic. But they're just too expensive compared to ocean ships and aircraft.

[@corymccarty8603]

Actually... Indy's hat is the Fedora. Not sure what his Dad's hat is called.

[@brianlafrazia8237]

Great reaction! Indy being tempted by the grail isn’t really out of character. First, all humans would be tempted by the potential of immortality if it’s right at your fingertips. Indy IS human, after all. Also, this completes Indy’s ark: he started out as a non-believer, but by the end of the saga, he understands that there are mysterious things he can’t explain by science. It fits him perfectly. 🙂

[@brianlafrazia8237]

Meant to say, “this completes Indy’s arc” haha Also, boats have engines and use gasoline. They can and do explode if the situation occurs.

[@0okamino]

Even before gasoline powered craft, there was the problem of steam engine boilers exploding.

[@The_Dudester]

21:47 It is a dirigible (or airship). Massive monsters that could be as much as 1,000 feet (305 meters) in length, they had an impressive internal aluminum frame. The US had a massive advantage in that there is a massive helium mine in Texas and helium could keep a dirigible afloat (although much more dangerous hydrogen could suffice). Several American dirigibles were destroyed by storms in the 1930's and a dirigible program was ended. The Germans still had a couple of dirigibles but they had to use hydrogen because of economic sanctions. In 1937, the Hindenburg dirigible blew up spectacularly and to this day, a certain reason why hasn't been found. Much smaller, non rigid blimps were used by the US military, very effectively in anti submarine patrols. After the war, Goodyear corporation has used and still uses blimps for commercial reasons. Other companies also use blimps for various reasons.

[@karlsmith2570]

40:43 A point of interest here: George Lucas was most likely responsible for Sean Connery's line of "We Named The Dog 'Indiana.' ". The reason why I say this is because in the "Empire Of Dreams." Documentary about the creation of the Star Wars franchise, George mentioned that when he'd created Chewbacca, he'd based Chewbacca on his Alaskan Malmute, whose name was "Indiana"

[@marshallprince2583]

Depending on the conditions of a professor's employment with a university, a professor might spend 90% of their time teaching and 10% researching, or they might spend 10% of their time teaching and 90% conducting research. Either way, they still get paid regardless of how their time is divided. Then, there's also the possibility that this could be the end of the spring semester, and with summer comes more opportunities for research in the field. There's a lot the movie doesn't say that could explain how Jones has so much time to go on adventures.

[@bossfan49]

As someone mentioned, petrol and water do not mix. The petrol will float on top. Also, fire needs oxygen to burn..so it can't burn "underwater". As in the first movie with the Ark of the Covenant, the properties applied to the 'power' of the Holy Grail are portrayed as literal, rather than symbolic and spiritual as they are in actuality within the Christian faith. They took it a step further with the Grail, since it's not even the actual cup that holds power. Drinking from it is just a ceremonial act. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is what allows for 'eternal life', but again, that's in the spiritual sense regarding the soul, not the body. The Grail in the movie is meant to be made of copper, I believe...rather than gold.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hello Quo!😊 This is my favorite of the films, also.🏆 I am not really a fan of the previous film. The airship that they travel in was part of the same fleet as "The Hindenburg". At this point in history The Hindenburg had already crashed and burned in New Jersey. After the disaster the remaining German airships remained in service for a time. Oh, Indiana Jones' hat is a fedora.😉 Great reactions to the original finale of the Indiana Jones saga, Quo!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 P.S. - The films go down hill after this. It is best to stop here.😉

Love your reaction! Hope to see you post a visit to Petra in your Indy Cosplay. While Raiders will always be my personal favorite, Last Crusade is close second and WAS the perfect ending to the Indiana Jones original trilogy. However, since Lucasfilm decided to try and cash in with two more movies, both of much lower quality than the first three, I will say that the next in the franchise, Crystal Skull, is better than The Dial of Destiny. I mean, it has to be, it has an Australian national treasure in it. It’s still a misfire, but it’s not a total head-scratching dud like the last one . . . HOW DO YOU TOTALLY WASTE ANTONIO!!!🤬

[@karlsmith2570]

16:03 Fun Fact about that line that Sean Connery said in this scene. The line that Sean Connery says Elsa "Talks In Her Sleep" was ad-libbed by Sean Connery as a kind of throwback to when he'd played James Bond

[@leebrandt8597]

Raiders is better because it was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Last Crusade suffers from his father not being in the movie until an hour into it. Once Henry Sr shows up, it's a classic. Before that (with the exception of the intro) it was decent, but nowhere near as good as the second half. If the entire movie had been as good as the second half, it would be a contender for best in the series

I know it’s my fault, but I kind of hate this movie now! We all saw it I mean, everyone saw it back in the day when it was in the theaters… but after solo a Star Wars story, all I can see is a younger actor, playing Harrison Ford, and everything you know about him is cobbled together in one small adventure! The scar on his chin, his clothes, his whip, his fear of snakes. HOLY SHIT THIS IS STUPID! Know what I mean? He shows up 25 or 30 years later, and says the exact same thing: it belongs in a museum! And wouldn’t you know it? these evil guys still have the same clothes, and that stupid gold cross? They seemed like they grabbed it from the cave with intent to sell it off. Indy blows up the whole ship (killing many who had nothing to do with the evil artifact dealings) and jumps in the ocean! No plan of escape. This madness was just universally excepted because of the first two movies before it.
