Fun fact: The guy who played Gimli in Lord of the Rings played Indy's arab sidekick in this film. Also: the Ark was said to contain the two tablets that the Ten Commandments were written on, the Manna that fell from heaven for the Hebrews in the desert, and the Staff of Aaron (Moses' brother and the first Jewish High Priest). No one was allowed to even touch the Ark or else they would die.

Not to mention that the handling of the Ark was very carefully listed. You had to wear special shoes, and only carry it with wooden carrying poles. When some scientists made a replica of the Ark, they found that the materials it was made of caused it to generate an electrical current by a galvanic reaction, so someone COULD have actually electrocuted themselves by touching it when not insulated.

There was a deleted scene with the Arab Priest when they were reading the staff of Rah headpiece, warning about the dangers of looking at the divine upon disturbing the Ark. Regarding the Stunts, Spielberg asked the Stuntmen, "Are there any stunts you've always dreamed of doing but never found the right film for?" Taking this opportunity, the stunt team compiled a list of their "dream stunts," which Spielberg and his team then wove into one almighty scene for the Truck Chase.

Its the obvious comment to sneer and say bah, Tomb Raider was just 'heavily inspired' by Indiana Jones. However IJ was itself a massive homage to older black and white film serials, especially King Solomons Mines. Lucas was big on that, and Flash Gordon as a kid.

you can't imagine how much this impacted us 12-year-old boys watching it in theatre when it first came out. My god. The storyline - powerful relics in strange lands, puzzles from ancient times to solve in furtherance of a quest, one good guy fighting a cabal of evil henchmen, the everyman vs the state, all that was nirvana enough for a kid, but those weren't the only things. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first modern incarnation of this type of storyline. And everything was new, the fight scenes were kinetic and had a sense of place. The music - mindbending. It was just cut different from every other film of the time, and to top it off, the audience really got into it. There were actual cheers from the audience at the end and people would see it over and over again. For me personally, it inspired a love of both history and archaeology, with me learning all that I could possibly learn about the 1930s and 1940s - especially World War II and the efforts of the Allies vs the Axis. It's sad that we don't have the same mystery nowadays - this movie inspired countless others and as a result, they have lost lots of their awe. And yes the mummy is 'highly inspired' by this, but it doesn't hit the same for me. I like the historicity of this more and the fact that there were such groups as Nazis and that they did almost destroy modern civilization just makes things hit harder - even watching this film 40 years later.

Fun fact: when the Ark was resting in Solomons temple, the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies once a year to offer sacrifice.

No one could enter to remove the body because only the high priest could enter; anyone else would be struck dead.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark was inspired from a 1954 movie Secret Of The Incas, with Charlton Heston. Indiana Jones' outfit looks VERY similar to what Charlton Heston was wearing, and a lot of ideas were lifted out of Secret Of The Incas that went into Raiders Of The Lost Ark. At the beginning of Raiders, in that jungle temple, there was a large gold disk in the background. That was the disk that was being sought in Secret Of The Incas. When they were lifting that stone slab at the top of the temple in Raiders, there was some kind of dark smoky substance coming out. That was most likely 3,000 year old bacteria and viruses, which was what killed most of the team opening King Tut's tomb. They rushed in and breathed the bacteria.

In the bible, it was said not to look at the Ark or to even touch it. That's how Indy knew not to look at it, no matter what.

The "free apple" was a joke based on a real phenomenon. In the 19th century, teachers were often underpaid and overworked so they often didn't get to eat lunch or afford much food. So a student bringing an apple--most rural students belonging to family farms would have surplus crops--would be to provide sustenance for the teacher, but it could also be a way to "bribe" them into favoring the student. By the mid-20th century, it was a well-worn trope, so by the 1980s, it was a "callback" of sorts.

In terms of the stunts, there's a brilliant behind the scenes story from Vic Armstrong, who stunt-doubled for Harrison Ford. When it came time for the horse stunts, Harrison Ford suddenly announced he wanted to do those stunts himself. The producers were horrified and debated what to do. Armstrong said "leave it to me", and went and lied to Ford, telling him that if the stuntmen don't to the stunts, they don't get paid. Ford apologised profusely, and Armstrong did the stunts.

When that man and Jones was in that stand-off and the guy starts swinging his sword around showing his skills and Indy shoots him, that was ad libbed. It was in the script that the two got into a sword fight. But HF said "Indiana Jones wouldn't fight him, he'd just shoot him". So he did it that way and it's an iconic scene.

They wouldn't want to kill Indiana because, not only does he always turn up, but he finds and does things that no one else can or will. His nemesis is not ONLY interested in this one single "find" ... as you can see, he's been stealing things from him forever.

During the scene when Indiana is sitting at the bar lamenting over Marion, there's a random guy walking about in the background wearing jeans and a blue t shirt. He wasn't an extra, just some guy out and about on his daily business.

I haven't seen the movie in many years, but I remember at some point someone saying that you couldn't look directly at the power emanating from the ark and that's why Indy knows he has to close his eyes.
@christianwise6379 ай бұрын
I don't think it's said in the film, but not looking at the divine is (I assume) a key part of biblical lore, which Indy has definitely read up on ("any of you went to Sunday school?") which is likely how he knows

40:45 Fun Fact: If you look close enough you can see how there is a ditch running the length of the road between the wheels of the truck to allow for more room for this stunt...now I don't remember if this is Harrison Ford slithering below the truck, but it IS him being dragged BEHIND the truck, so YES, Harrison did a LOT of his own stunts.

The reason the box holding the Ark got burned is foreshadowing the ending, "tho shalt worship no false idols". Why the Nazis would seek mystical aid from the Jewish God & expect to actually receive anything but death baffles me to this day.
