[@ManvasPachenko]

You summed Raiders of the lost Ark up perfectly. Aside from the obvious brilliant action, the two stand out elements for me, are Douglas Slocombe's beautifully framed and lit cinematography, and John Williams' score is absolutlely one of his best ever. Especially the truck chase scene, with that pounding march, and the loud brass section. Amaaaaaazing!!

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.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

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.

[@vilefly]

@@RedwoodTheElf It would be very funny if it was a huge leyden jar.

[@seneca1932]

Only a Levite could touch the Ark

[@nathanrussell-raby5460]

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.

[@tonydeluna8095]

One of the best films of the early 1980s. Steven Spielberg is a master storyteller and director. In 1982, Raiders , Reds both lost to Chariots of Fire for best picture

[@johnbarry1712]

Fun fact: The scene where Indy shot the swordsman wasn't actually scripted. It was put in day of filming. Harrison Ford had food poisoning and was really sick. He asked the director if he could just shoot the guy, thinking it would be what Indy would do anyway.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Fun fact... the cargo steamer ship that Indy and Marion rode in, was the one that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

PS - The swordsman scene was a classic subversion of expectations. A close runner-up to that scene was the one with the coat hanger. Everyone was waiting for some kind of crazy martial arts scene with that 'weapon'.

[@rawkmode6315]

This is true, but leaves out the, "why." Harrison Ford had contracted dysentery, and was dehydrated and miserable from shitting his guts out (no, seriously.) He simply couldn't handle the action scene as scripted, and they were looking for a way to get around that. That's when he said, "Why don't I just shoot him?"

Fun fact, Alyska, the first Indiana Jones film is responsible for getting more people in the real world interested in the field of Archaeology than any other movie. Another fun fact, I've seen many real archaeologists react to these movies, and their reviews of it are always pure gold to watch. One thing they nearly always universally say about these films is that, if booby traps like we see in the films actually existed, archaeologists would be more interested in studying the TRAPS than they would be in studying the treasures!

Indiana jones is 10 years older than Marion. Back then he and Marion got together in 1926 even though he was 27 and she was 17. Abner, Marion’s Father, was Indiana mentor and when he found out, he strained his relationship with him. Over the next 10 years she realized what she did was wrong and here Indiana jones brushes it off

[@ronweber1402]

In the original draft Indy was supposed to have been 25, which would make more sense with him as a graduate student, and Marion 15 but they figured that was waaaay too creepy so they upped the ages to 17 and 27 still way bad but not as rapey as 15/25.

[@wolfofthewest8019]

Not only that, but Harrison Ford is 10 years older than Karen Allen. He was 38 and she was 28 when they made Raiders.

[@FightingTorque411]

@@hulkhatepunybanner Relevant - the canonical 1981 novelisation by Campbell Black states Marion's age as 15 during their liaison, and "By 1920, 26 states had an age of consent at 16, 21 states had an age of consent at 18, and one state (Georgia) had an age of consent at 14". So, unless Jones went down to Georgia with her, it *was* wrong (and he almost certainly knew it).

[@wobaguk]

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. So he turned the latter into Star Wars and the former into Indiana Jones.

[@gregmattson2238]

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.

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.

Before he entered, a rope would be tied to his foot in the event a part of the ritual was not done properly and he was struck dead. No one could enter to remove the body because only the high priest could enter; anyone else would be struck dead. I have no idea if it ever happened but it shows how seriously Judaism was taken before Christ came and made the temple worship unnecessary.

Snakes generally only attack as a last resort. When people get bit by snakes in the wild, it's because they stepped on them, or got too close to a clutch of eggs, or otherwise made the snake go into fight or flight mode.

I guess you didn't recognise Alfred Molina who played Doctor Octupus from Spider-Man 2 at the beginning of the film.

Omg I didn’t!!

@@Alyska Alice, I was shocked to hear you say that the "kiss" scene on the boat was cringe. No woman who saw this film when it came out shared your reaction. On the contrary, they thought it was charming, and adorable. I don't know what it is with you kids these days that you find so many things cringe that are not actually cringe and never have been cringe. No offense to you, I'm a big fan of yours, but let me just say that I am sooooo glad I grew up when I did, and not in your generation of hypersensitivity and weirdly misplaced judgements and values.

[@ZoomerUnion]

or ​@Cosmo-Kramer maybe the older generation was a little TOO under-critical and threw caution to the wind a bit too often, and we've learned lessons from that

[@neilpidgeon8317]

The snake scenes were shot at Elstree Studios not far from when i live, there are still stories about the snakes that went missing during filming living under the studio for years...

[@yagoo3223]

If you didn’t know. Alfred Molina (Dr. Octavius - Spiderman) appeared at the beginning, when they were in the "cave."

I can't wait till you do Temple of Doom.

[@MikeWood]

Such a joyful fun reaction. :) No idea how you missed this before. As FYI, others have had claims when there is a lot of John Williams music. So if that happens you might want to upload without as much of it. :)

[@Alyska]

Thank you for the heads up!

My favourites adventures movies ever, this awesome saga. A great character also it´s Sallah (John Rhys Davies), who also played the dwarf Gimli in LOTR trilogy.

[@A23457]

The 2nd movie, Temple of Doom, is loved by some, not by others, but everyone agrees that the 3rd film, The Last Crusade, is a classic. The most fun of all the Indy films.

[@markpaterson2053]

FYI, there are only THREE Indiana Jones movies, the last happening in 1989; any other material pertaining to the character thereafter is pure coincidence.

[@russellward4624]

12:10 the teeth is Indiana was 25 and Marion was 15 years old.

@@leebrandt8597 speak for yourself. Only lunatics get irate over a small title change that does not change the meaning of the time or the title of the film completely. To be that enraged over a change like that is insane. Basically, grow up.

39:10 - funniest reaction ever, first it's, "Yeah, they're dead," and then she sees just how big the matte painting is as the camera keeps panning down while the jeep is falling, and she adds, "Oh, god..." just a little thing but so funny.

[@loganlockhart7768]

Funny that you say it reminds you of The Mummy, because I think I read somewhere that Rachel Weisz's character from The Mummy took inspiration from Marion Ravenwood.
