29:33 "I thought that he was invincible." That was a big difference between Indiana Jones and many other action heroes in the 80s, Indy was far from invincible. One of his defining characteristics is having to adapt and get out of sticky situations without being invincible. The scene just before the truck chase when he says, "I'm making this up as I go" is the essence of the character and why he can be so relatable.

[@shack8110]

Yes! It's very difficult to film scenes with actors flawlessly according to a screenplay. Spielberg did a great job considering the difficulty of this screenplay.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Given the beatings he takes, he is invincible. He might get a scratch or two, but he is never seriously injured, which he would be otherwise. Even a bullet through the arm is no more bothersome than a scratch after a nights sleep. If you watch the old serials these movies were based on, most of the fights were effectively wrestling matches and far more realistic IMHO. With these fights, a punch in the face is usually square on the jaw and sounds like someone smashing a fence post against a boulder. Personally I always thought these fights were OTT, even for fantasy, just too many solid punches to the face.

One of the initial reactions of everyone watching this moving, when Indy is running from the stone is 'He could have just ducked.' but you have to remember that if he ducked and let the stone roll by him, the stone would have blocked the entrance to the cave so Indy could not escape. Plus, its more iconic to watch him try to run away from a rolling bolder. 😄

[@Cheepchipsable]

The movie is based on near death encounters at every turn. If you wanted to make it fit into the "world", the temple was collapsing so he had to get out anyway. He might not have realised the boulder would block the entrance in the moment of seeing it, but he made the split second decision to keep his momentum going and just run. A more valid criticism would be, "Why does he keep looking back at it and just keep sprinting?". (Of course the answer is to build tension.)

[@patrickbatman141]

Yeah that's the whole reason whoever set the traps in the temple but the boulder there. If it doesn't crush whoever is stealing the idol, it blocks the exit and leaves them to starve to death.

How did he know not to look at the Ark? Supposedly there is a deleted scene with the old man that translates the marking on the headpiece where he tells them of a warning on the headpiece to never touch or look into the Ark. Also, Indy being a PhD in archeology I'm sure he knew the stories from the Bible. In one, Uzzah, a Levite, touches the Ark and is struck dead on the spot. In another, 70 men of Beth Shemesh looked in the Ark and were they were also struck dead on the spot.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

The real question... how did the Egyptians know that Tanis would eventually get buried in sand, and thus decide to leave a map room and a special staff in order for someone a couple thousand years later to find the ark? And why leave the ark? Seems if the city were being slowly buried in sand, the inhabitants would leave... and someone would have taken the ark with them.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

There's also the story of Lot and his wife escaping from Sodom and Gomorrah as God destroyed the cities. An angel had warned them not to look, but Lot's wife turned around to see it and was turned into a pillar of salt.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

@@Jeff_Lichtman - There's also the story of Baldy-Locks and the two bears. It's my favorite biblical tale.

[@Imaculata]

More importantly, one of the exposition scenes at the start of the movie already establishes that the Ark is dangerous, and can kill. Indy knew not to look upon god himself, because the hebrew god is not a very nice fella. Don't look upon him.

[@JohnMartin-oh6bf]

Remember what the army intelligence man said…‘professor of Archaeology….Expert on the occult.’

[@hv3926]

It was simply called Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was Not thought of as an Indiana Jones Movie at the time. But it is easily the Best of All of them. We knew Harrison Ford was in the movie. We were 4 years removed from "Star Wars" and then The Empire Strikes Back only 1 year back. We found out who Indiana Jones was by watching this movie. That's how these things unfolded. First Blood became Rambo. The Thing From Another World (1951) became The Thing (1982) a far greater movie than any other mentioned here.

[@jamesm1]

The Ark is like a direct physical manifestation of God's presence on earth, to open it without his permission is basically ding dong ditching the lord, and he will smite your ass for it lol.

[@StevesFunhouse]

[@youtmeme]

the ark was supposed to contain the actual tablets that the 10 commandments that God gave to Moses to write upon.

[@jamesm1]

@@youtmeme Yes, also potentially Moses's staff and his mummy... but possessing it is a sort of direct link to god. There's a couple times where it's stolen in the bible, and while the fate of those who steal it/open it unsanctioned isn't quite as intense as the movie, it's still bad enough to make them give the ark back to the jews (IIRC the Philistines stole it once and took it to their capital where EVERYONE involved with the theft was afflicted by hemorrhoid's until it was returned lol).

[@williammatthews693]

Exactly. The Israelites were to only use it in battle when God gave His express permission. Whenever they used it without permission I believe they lost that battle every time. What's kind of amusing though is that whenever an enemy army took the Ark as a trophy they would quickly return it to the Israelites and beg them to ask their God to stop heaping disasters on the enemy nation.

The building that the headpiece identifies, is much smaller in scale than the inside of the actual Ark chamber though. I think the Ark chamber is hidden below that building, but the coordinates will still point to the right location.

[@ashscott6068]

@@thoso1973 Yeah, it's obviously below gound. But it's also obviously below ground, in the big temple right in the middle. The people who put it there, don't need a map room, because they PUT it there! They know where it is! The whole sequence is silly AF

[@thoso1973]

@@ashscott6068 Well, I always perceived it as if the above structures had been destroyed in the sandstorm that lasted a year (Gods wrath). That includes the building the headpiece beam hits and the surrounding structures; they're gone and have been gone since ~900BC. The true Ark chamber was hidden and not meant for visitors. The map room as well and both were below ground, which means they survived the sand storm. The map room existed to preserve the true location of the Ark for posterity, meaning for the right selected people = priests. That's lucky because it adds an element of exploration to the film as well as an McGuffin (the headpiece) for the hero and villain to seek.

[@isaackellogg3493]

What you guys are forgetting is that there are dozens of holes in the mounting board. There is a hole for the staff that corresponds to the coordinates of _every location in the city! _ The Nazis have marked their site in black paint-it is also in the middle of the city! But the Nazis were using not only the wrong staff length, but the wrong mounting hole (Indy does his *own* math, thank you very much)! The fact that the Nazis ignored the site Indy chose indicates that it wasn’t quite so prominent as you’re making out. Also, archaeological sites thousands of years on just look like hills. Sumer, Egypt, Chichen Itza, Cahokia. One hill looks much like another. And they can’t *all* be ancient archaeological sites, can they? Can they?

[@chasetoy1087]

Another fun fact to add to everyone else's: the actor who played the portly fellow with the mustache who meets with Indy at the university in the beginning is the same actor who played Porkins (Red 6) in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

I've watched you since before you paired up so much, but I must say you do bring out the best in each other. Ellie can be silly and carries her emotions right at the surface, but Michelle helps her stay grounded. Meanwhile, Ellie pulls the humor out of the naturally more reserved and analytical Michelle. It's good! 👍

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"But how are they gonna use it if the light cannot go through his hand?" Ah, but remember how Indy's friend said the Nazis were using a replica that only had markings on one side, which is why they were digging in the wrong place? This scar is how the Nazis knew what those markings were -- but only knew what was on the side that burned him.

[@joshuawells835]

•Indiana Jones is said to be both the archaeologist that inspired a generation of that field and the archaeologist they are taught not to be, as Indiana Jones is more of a treasure hunter or worse a tomb robber than an archaeologist. As for those who subscribe to The Big Bang Theory's "ruining" theory that regardless of Indiana Jones presence, that the Nazis still find the Ark, take it to the island, and get melted, I would counter by saying without Indiana Jones, the Ark of the Covenant, one of the holiest relics in Judeo-Christian tradition, would still be in the possession of the most evil nation to have ever existed.

The best "pure" action film ever released!

[@patrickbatman141]

It's not a pure action film, there were some quiet moments that gave audiences a chance to breath and become interested in the archaeology aspect. It was as much about the ark as it was about watching Indiana beat the shit out of Nazis. A pure action film is Mad Max Fury Road for example. The action never let's up to the point you feel exhausted by the end of it. Raiders is much better than those types of films.

When Indy's in the Map Room he's actually Master of the Lodge: Standing in the East, connected by an unbroken line of light to the Ark in the center: The Masonic Lodge is based on the Tabernacle of Exodus, with the Altar in the center symbolic of the Ark.

Really? How uninteresting.

[@otisroseboro5613]

This Was Definitely One Of My Late Dad's Favorite Movie's, classic

[@thunderstruck5484]

Great movie classic! Saw at the theater with my wife we loved it thanks

[@CaptainNemo1701]

14.09 One of the most famous movie scenes and it was ad-libbed. Ford felt ill & couldn't do the big fight scene so Spielberg suggested to just shoot him. The stunt guy was apparently disappointed but he's now immortalised in the one single moment everyone remembers in this movie.

[@isaackellogg3493]

“Why don’t ya just shoot him?”

[@3dbadboy1]

Sallah is Gimli in Lord of the Rings.

[@futuramayeah]

in real life, i think it was King Solomon's son? that took it to Ethiopia and it is still there in a church guarded by a monk that every few years dies of radiation poisoning until they replace him with another monk, so whatever they are guarding gives off a great deal of radiation and is deadly

[@redf7209]

Never heard the radiation theory before but heard several churches in Ethiopia claim to have the ark, probably all copies. DNA does support the the theory of a migration from Israel to that area.

[@williamjones6031]

1. While filming in Tunisia most of the cast got food poisoning and Ford actually got diarrhea from it. and was very ill. The scene where he shoots the guy was supposed to be a long fight scene but Ford was feeling so bad and it was terribly hot so he basically said, "The hell with this" and just shot the guy. LOL 2. Karen Allen played Boone's squeeze in "Animal House" HINT HINT 3. If you don't like spiders you're going to love the next one. It's not the best of the bunch but it's adventurous. Billy is a pain in the ass though. 4. Two overlooked Harrison Ford movies worth a first time/share are: "Witness" and "Force 10 From Navarone" 5. The sand in the ark is the stone tablets turned to sand over time. 6. The ride at Disneyland is pretty cool. Make sure it's one of your first to get it out of the way. Adventureland.

dietrich - head shrinks toht - face melts belloq - head explodes movie: RATED PG

[@duckrutt]

So was Jaws

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Several Spielberg movies are essentially the reason they added the PG-13 rating between PG and R in the '80s.

The PG-13 didn't exist back then.

[@donovanblackwelder4301]

80s PG was very different from now PG.

[@44excalibur]

The movie is just called Raiders of the Lost Ark. The name Indiana Jones is only in the titles of the sequels.

[@Johnny_Socko]

At some point in the 2000's, Paramount re-branded the first film as "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" on physical copies & streaming sources. However they did not change the title within the film itself, afaik.

[@44excalibur]

@@Johnny_Socko First of all, the rebranding happened in the 1990s with the DVD rerelease of the Indiana Jones trilogy in order to have them align with the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series that ran for two seasons from 1991-1993. Second, it's stupid. That was a failed television series whose continuity was officially erased by the events of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

[@Johnny_Socko]

@@44excalibur Meh. It hurts nobody, and it helps newcomers by categorizing the first film with the subsequent ones. It's not like they pulled a Lucas and messed with the actual film content.

[@44excalibur]

@@Johnny_Socko It's still unnecessary because it was done for an early 90s TV show that is no longer relevant. Also, the title makes no sense. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark? That contradicts the meaning of the title, considering the he's one of the aforementioned “raiders." New audiences don't require a name change anyway.

[@cedrictrouche1147]

BEST MOVIE ALL TIME 😍😎👌🏻✨🎬

[@eddhardy1054]

19:18...Oh my lord, was that an 'Allo Allo!' reference...guys you genuinely left me speechless 😀😀😀

[@MrTech226]

Speaking of Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford is back for the last time as the famous Archeologist in untitled Indiana Jones 5.

[@isaackellogg3493]

Set to debut 19 July 2019. Mark your calendars!

[@zbynekurbanek3345]

that gestapo guy really looks like herr Flick... Im glad you know Hallo Hallo :)

[@FrancisXLord]

'If he stayed in the back it would've missed him.' True. And he would have been trapped since the boulder's final destination was the opening. He would have been trapped in the tomb holding a gold relic and perhaps reassessing it's true value to an individual, perhaps considering the possibility he had wasted his life. Alright maybe extending the idea depressingly far there.

[@rccraig7580]

I'm glad someone realized that Indy would have been trapped in the cave had he not tried outrun the boulder.

[@isaackellogg3493]

Nooooo! What about the labor theory of value?!

[@FrancisXLord]

@@isaackellogg3493 Haha. Well it is just a theory.

[@williambranch4283]

The Nazi government had a whole department, collecting Middle Eastern Jewish/Christian relics, including The Holy Spear (there may be more than one, each containing a nail from The True Cross found by St Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine). The Nazis were also into Tibetan culture, since they thought Tibetans were Aryan. Nazi Aryan doctrine was based on Aryans originating on Atlantis.

[@Caseytify]

When in fact Aryans came from the Persian region. In fact Iran is just a different spelling of Aryan. Shhhh. Don't tell Adolf.

[@isaackellogg3493]

They were going off the Aryan invasions of the Dravidian cultures in 1500 BC. Nowadays we know about the Harappan civilization, and there are those that doubt that there ever were invasions. Aryans at that time were believed to have originated in Afghanistan, then invaded India through the Khyber Pass. Theosophists believed that in prehistory, Aryans originated in Tibet, where it was so cloudy that they had to evolve their third eye to keep from falling off cliffs every other day, which led to psychic powers as well as physical navigation. Later, when they moved off the mountains into non-cloudy locations, their third eyes atrophied and they lost their powers. Supposedly, remnant tribes still lived in Tibet (and under it!) who retained their third-eye powers and watched over their Aryan cousins with detached, semi-familiar interest. Wanting to hitch the NSDAP lore to this mythology, Hitler used the most ancient Indo-Aryan symbol known to Europeans at the time-the swastika.

[@ephennell4ever]

Indy explains quite clearly to Marion exactly *why* he has to leave her tied-up, but she just wants to be in on the chase so she ignores him at first. But she realized later that she had to stay 'captured' so the Nazis wouldn't call out everybody to search for Indy & Co., so she only tries to escape after that, on her own.

[@RonsHere123]

It's Raiders, You're The Riders GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY~!!!

[@Hiraghm]

The guy who betrays Indy at the beginning was Dr Octopus in Spider Man.

[@toddkindron8506]

There is nothing you can possess that I can not take away? Close your eyes? With the eye shadow at the beginning in the classroom, then at end with the other group performance of not closing their eyes. Whatever you do, don't open your eyes?

[@Smokie_666]

19:09 I love your reactions but I'm not sure why you would say he's a player at this part in the film. It's obvious he wants to take her with him but he has to think of the big picture. Like he said, if he frees her, the Nazi's start searching and risk finding Indiana which would make the whole situation much worse. It's not an easy decision for him in any way.

[@Jabadaw]

Horses are like big dogs? How about dogs that are like horses? Time for a Labyrinth reaction. :)

In a deleted scene the old man who told them the height of the staff tells them not to look at it

[@sachaallari592]

This is my Favorite move of ALL TIME!

[@DanielWatches]

I love all three Indiana Jones movies!!

[@daveb947]

1, 3, 2 is the best order. Crystal Skull is basically a fever dream/vision Indie has when the Ark is opened imo. lol.

[@isaackellogg3493]

Another fun fact: black turbans in Egypt are associated with the Copts, a minority group made of Egyptian Orthodox Christians (they were the majority before the Muslims invaded (639-646)).

[@isaackellogg3493]

This makes the bumbling henchmen with black turbans the Keystone Copts.

FBI Special Agents searching for the truth about their own government- from aliens to conspiracies.

[@paulconnett3654]

Well spotted Michelle the German agent major Toht was an English actor Ronald Lacey also the German chopped up by the airplane propeller was Pat Roach a English pro wrestler and actor. Fun facts to a brilliant film. Cheer's Ladies 🇬🇧

[@Hiraghm]

This is the first time I ever noticed, watching your reaction video... As the trunk falls over, before it blows up... you see something long and red fall out behind the truck... like maybe Marion's legs.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Michelle. You asked how Indy knew not to look? He was taking his best guess, based on his knowledge of biblical history. In the book of Genesis, Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. Angels told Lot, his wife, and his two daughters to leave before God destroyed the city. The angels warned them to escape for their lives and not look back or they would be swept away. Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. In Hebrew, looking back can also mean to pay attention to, indicating her desire to remain in the city and enjoy their lives as they were there. So some speculate her turning back could've caused God to punish her for not just listening to the advice of the angels.

[@shallowgal462]

The sand in the Ark was the original tablets of the Ten Commandments brought down the mountain by Moses--but crumbled into dust after 3000 years. I hope you watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade soon!

[@QuantumAscension1]

"... and the alien stuff?" 😳........ We don't talk about the alien stuff [proceeds to have PTSD flashbacks of Crystal Skull]

[@isaackellogg3493]

Two fun facts: if the statue in the opening scene had been pure gold, it would have weighed 34 kg (75 lbs.). Second, It is a major plot point that while the Nazis are using a 183 cm (72 inch) stick, this is too long-the proper length should be 152 cm (60 inches). When Indy puts the 152 cm stick in the hole, it immediately sinks at least 3 cm. This means the stick’s height above the board to the bottom of the headpiece is 149 cm at most. Look at how that stick towers over Indy-at least 15 cm (6 inches) above his head. Indy is only 133 cm (4 foot four-and-a-third inches) high! With arms that can pick up that gold statue like it was made of plaster, Indy is shaped like Popeye the Sailor.

[@redf7209]

Also the aircraft was a design that existed only for this movie.
