The role of Sallah is portrayed by John-Rhys Davies, who played Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also, if the music seems familiar to Star Wars, it's because John Williams did both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies.

[@xavierfranco5800]

Just to let you know where the "Don't look at it" comes from. According to the Old Testament, God actually travelled with the 12 tribes of Abraham/Israel. One of the tribes was the Levites. They were tasked with carrying the Ark and setting up God's temple and worship area, and taking it down and carrying it when travelling. That tribe was not responsible for anything else but this. They were sort of the priest caste of the 12 tribes. In the daytime, when the Israelites were travelling, God manifested as a tornado of fire and would lead the people where he wanted them to go/follow. At night, the tornado died down and slept/disappeared. Then when they were ready to travel again it would appear and they'd hit the road again. So that's why you see that huge tornado that lifted the top of the Ark into the sky. The story goes that God decreed that anyone who wasn't a Levite could not enter the space in the temple where the Ark was housed. No one was allowed to look into the Ark(the face of God) or else they would be struck down dead. This wasn't relayed through any person or prophet. This is when God addressed the people directly. One time, someone accidentally went too close to the sacred area where the Ark was and was struck down dead with a bolt of fire/electricity. So Indy knew his Bible passages and that's why he told Marion not to look.

"Is it based on a book or something?" Not quite. When George Lucas was a kid he went to the cinema where they showed short weekly serialised dramas. One was Flash Gordon, a scifi adventure, and one was King Solomons Mines, an archeology adventure. When he grew up, he made Star Wars as an homage to one, and Indiana Jones as an homage to the other.

"All the graphics are dated" All the special effects in this movie were practical effects. There was no CGI back in 1981 (the first movie to use CGI was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, and they were pretty primitive though impressive for the time). I'm sorry, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is not "pretty dated". This movie is timeless, as all the great sci-fi action movies from the 80's.

@Mr Magician junior No those were all optical.

[@CaptainAmercia]

Its heavily based on the pulp magazines and old Saturday matinee serials from the camera actions and the over the top feel to it just with far more brutality. Its going for a certain style while updating it for the 1980s the same can be said about Tim Burton's Batman which took a lot of inspiration from 1930s to 1950s tv and films.

To think, we got the script of this movie drafted when George Lucas and Steven Spielberg went on vacation in Hawaii. And it was because George was afraid that Star Wars would flop at the 1977 premiere, so he went on vacation instead. XD

[@lisamaitland157]

The Philistines did not get such luck, back when they stole it from the Jews.. They opened the ark, at the center of their city.. The entire city fell I'll and had massive tumors, and boils all over them. With claims of a bright flash of light, before the sickness. Good portion of their people died very fast. Needless to say, they returned the ark back to their owners after that tiny opening event. If you ask me personally i think there was something highly radioactive in the ark. If you ask historians, they will tell you there are 3 items in the ark. "word of god [commandments]" "Manna [body of god]" "Aaron's Rod" [Staff of creation]" = Still if these are real, each one of these would be deadly. [1] word of God = judgement [2] Manna = part of his body, this could be deadly to life of earth [2] Aaron's Rod = A item that can make life bloom out of nothing.

This, to me, speaks volumes towards which is the “better” movie and deserves to be called the “best picture” of that year. If a film is named as “best picture” then it stands to reason that no other film from that year would be more popular and successful, especially years later, and it DEFINITELY shouldn’t become obscure and unfamiliar to people, especially compared to other films from the same year, over time.

He had a ranch in the L.A. area and he taught Harrison to ride a horse at that ranch. One day there's a snake in the barn. Glenn is terrified and won't go near it.

So they just had Indy shoot the swordsman instead, and it turned into one of the most memorable and funny moments in the movie.

[@darthken815]

Yeah, him and most of the crew had dysentary. The script called for Indy to have a long fight with sword guy. Between frequent trips to the bathroom, Ford's said "Why don't I just shoot him?" The rest is history.

Something interesting, in the scene where indy and sallah are rolling the Ark if you look real hard they pass a hieroglyphic of C3P0 and Artood2 on the wall

The writing on the plane Indy escapes the jungle in read OB-CPO, a nod to Star Wars.

[@minnesotajones261]

There's also two hieroglyphs in the Well of Souls of Threepio and Artoo. You can see one pair of them when Indy and Sallah lift up the heavy crypt inclosing the Ark, they're on a post/pole behind Indy on his right side.

Nah, not really, it was Steven who always wanted to make a Bond movie, so helped George with George's idea to make a movie that was inspired by the movie serials of early Hollywood with all their cliffhangers. Just as the movie serials of Flash Gordon inspired his Star Wars.

Oddly enough the pilot for the 1960s TV series The Man from UNCLE was written by Ian Fleming. The name of the lead character was Napoleon ... wait for it ... Solo. In fact the show was originally known as Ian Fleming's Solo. Han's great great great great grandfather perhaps?

Still love that Big Bang Theory episode where Amy tells Sheldon that Indy had no bearing on the outcome of the movie. If he had or hadn’t been there throughout , the Nazi’s would open the chest and die. This revelation causes the gang to become really bummed out as they loved this movie.

I don’t agree. The creepy nazi guy followed Indy to Nepal, which means they didn’t know where Marion was, which means they wouldn’t have found the well of souls.

@@vinnygi that’s a matter of opinion as there is no real proof that they did follow him. For all the audience knows, their arrival is just more coincidence.

[@fredbar4250]

loved the reaction! you asked about if this was based on some old book it was actually based on old black and white movie serials both George Lucas and Steven Spielberg watched as kids they were like multi part short eps played before the actual movie in the theatres back in the day so you would come back to the theater every month to see what happened next,and they included a lot of stuff from them like to make continuity easier the hero never lost his hat so no matter how hard he gets hit or in car chase or what ever the hat stays on lol. you see even more in the later movies. and that is why he keeps getting the ark then losing it again if you split it into 10 or 15 min bits there would be a cliff hanger at the end of every ep. the scene with the truck where he goes under it they dug like a 8 inch trench that was a half mile long to give the stunt man enough clearance to make it under with out being squished lol. so is a book i am writing the most famous is the guy with the big sword in the market in the original script there was supposed to be a huge fight with him and on the day harrison just said i have a gun wouldnt i just shoot him so thats how they filmed it.

The intricate truck chase is based on a legendary stunt sequence from the 1930s that was used in at least two westerns. It used stagecoachs and horses, of course.

The 'under the truck' stunt was first done by stunt man Yakima Canute in John Ford's (1939?) film 'Stage Coach' staring a very young and unknown actor, John Wayne. Canute falls between the horses and under the stage coach.

[@thomashiggins9320]

This movie is a classic, and the third film is almost as good. The second one is less good than the other two, but still worth seeing once. Don't bother with the fourth. It sucks. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. :) That last scene, with the box in the warehouse, meant the U.S. government essentially did exactly the same thing with the Ark that the pharoahs did. It also inspired the television series, Warehouse 13 Moreover, do you remember a throwaway comment in "Captain America: The First Avenger"? The Red Skull mentioned that the fuhrer was wasting his time, "...hunting trinkets in the desert." :) This film, although itself inspired by the old serials in the 1920s and 1930s that used to play in cinemas, in turn inspired many movies that followed it.

[@zarquondam]
