Lara Croft vs Indiana Jones | Epic Rap Battles of History | History Teacher Reacts

[@MrTerry]

Who won? YOU decide!

[@LadyDoe86]

Lara won 🏆 🙌 👏 hands down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@generaljimmies3429]

In regards to the scene in Raiders where Indy shoots the guy with the sword, that scene was improvised. The story goes that Harrison Ford and a large part of the film crew had gotten INCREDIBALY sick at the time(I think it was Malaria). Ford was supposed to have an epic sword fight with the extra but Ford was like F**k it and shot the extra with his prop gun. It was so funny that the scene was kept, that and the crew just didn't have the energy left to do a retake, especially Ford.

[@EncoreBetch]

Indiana on a CLOSE CALL. I feel like when Lara wasn’t attacking him she was just making jokes about herself. Indiana just kept rebutting what she said, threw a lot of heavy hits, and barely talked about himself.

[@frederickagerbo1220]

Lara Croft, I'am 21 and played the old games at 13, they still rocks so Indianas ditching was not so valid (in my subjecktive opinion.) as her critics of his toxic masculinity.

[@MarkJohnson-wb2ef]

Lara Croft for sure!

[@solidsnake4214]

Fun fact: Did you know that iconic gun vs sword scene was actually supposed to be an action scene? The problem was that Harrison Ford had food poisoning that day, and Stephen Spielberg didn’t want to post pone shooting the scene, so he just made it simple for Ford. You can even see in the scene that Ford looks pretty out of it

[@bartdegryse9345]

I also read that the man trying to kill Indy, practiced for weeks for the action scene. but instead we got the scene you commented about

[@thepanpaladin1043]

Not just Harrison Ford, about half the crew also had food poisoning so Ford asked Spielberg if he could just shoot him so they could all go home.

[@solidsnake4214]

@@thepanpaladin1043 oh wow I didn’t know about that, I thought it was just Harrison Ford

It's weird how so many great moments of movies are rushed changes to solve a problem or ad-libs that got left in because they were better than the script.

[@simonhinkel4086]

That's equally as unknown as Viggo Mortensen breaking his toe when kicking the Helmet 😏

[@Jason-35D]

I really appreciate how Lara Croft had different outfits

[@freeportkid]

They should of had a different actor for each verse 😂

[@djpegao]

It was a costume for almost all her videogame eras

[@thegodofchickens892]

jones did have 1 different outfit

[@jcrebel18]

Honestly when I first saw it I mostly felt like Lara won. They made a lot of references, but I think them giving her a posh sounding accent really made it along with the fact she just tears into him more.

[@markmorris7123]

A posh accent?? Its just common British.. I suppose it sounds poshbifvyour American.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

@@markmorris7123 it does. To an American anytime a brit speaks they may as well be trying to sound fancy constantly

[@jtl-en4yx]

Indiana Jones is part of what got me into history as well! Croix Provence was fantastic as Lara Croft, and Nice Peter really did an amazing job on the Indiana Jones impression, even down to the voice and mannerisms.

[@BloodyBay]

It's hard for me to call this one; Indiana got some good digs in (like the shot about Chase) with some good references and self-references ("I'll drop you like a J in the floor."), but Lara had some great shots and great wordplay too. Speaking of which, "Like Mola Ram with a heart, Indy's taking a beating" is *_not_* getting enough love from this comment section! I hope we see more of Croix; she's cute, she's well-spoken and her facial expressions are _super-expressive!_ Her mugging at Peter during his "J in the floor" line is funny! :D

[@broodaiamdewey622]

References with no substance.. it's cool you can name something from the show but it needs some sort of sting / truth / cleverness.

[@DTTCustoms]

I wasn’t sure if you were going to do this one since it isn’t real history, but happy to see it!

[@fantrash222]

People get onto Lara for her revealing clothes but when you really think about it, the less clothing she has, the less likely she’s going to get stuck in/on something

[@JoshDun6]

honestly when i was younger i was into parkour and i always love to do it like almost naked lmao cuz i dunno, felt more fluid without any pieces of clothing flopping around lmao

That Big Bang Theory bar made me look it up and it was _solid_ gold!

[@matityaloran9157]

It’s not the story problem people think it is

[@DDarkestKnight]

@@matityaloran9157 what do you mean?

[@matityaloran9157]

@@DDarkestKnight I mean that even though on a macro-level, it’s true that Indians Jones isn’t an essential character (since if the Nazis open the Ark they die) at a micro-level it’s not because without Jones in the movie the Nazis kill Marion Ravenwood to get the Medallion and locate the Ark. And what’s also true is that a major theme of the movie is that the Ark isn’t actually a weapon, with that being established practically since the beginning, so the fact that it turns out not to be one doesn’t actually undermine the story. The story is about an archaeological whose quest for a Biblical artifact leads him to the truth of miracles and thus converts him from a skeptic to a believer, the Ark of the Covenant is a plot device to enable that to happen rather than the purpose of his character being to search for the Ark. Yes, there are villains but the story isn’t about defeating evil, it’s about learning to be humble in the face of the divine. The joke on the Big Bang Theory was funny but it’s not actually a good critique of the movie

[@BloodyBay]

​@@matityaloran9157 And I'm thinking that if Indiana hadn't been there, then the Americans wouldn't have been able to claim the Ark and hide it in that warehouse; Belloq would still have opened the Ark and died with Toht and all those Nazis, and from there, either the Ark would have sat out in the middle of nowhere for who-knows-how-long or some more Nazis would have tracked Deitrich's footsteps to the Ark and maybe considered all the death and destruction strewn around it and figured that they could do better, so they take the Ark back to Germany where it could be examined further; perhaps Hitler himself would have opted to open the Ark in front of his vast army, with expected results. Maybe Indy _should_ have let the Nazis take the Ark after all. 🤔

[@matityaloran9157]

@@BloodyBay I think your theory underestimates Hitler.

I think they both did solidly but for me personally Lara definitely won. The battle made me want to rewatch the entire Indiana Jones franchise. Amazing battle overall.

[@Rukha85]

That was a tough one for Indy...you can't keep throwing punches when there's not much else to use against Lara without going into a spiral of the same things

[@leoreyes3802]

Wonderful video quality. Good job Terry

Dude, you canNOT have NBA Jams on in the background and expect anyone to pay attention to what you say. That game is fire!!! Great vid!

I remember one of the guys who did a reenactment of the OK Corral shooting in Arizona saying i looked like Indy with my brown leather jacket and my hat at the time.

[@hatsunevmiku7331]

I go lara because if the would have talk about just there ability Lara just smoke him like she did with drake. and missing that make it incomplet rap battle. but Lara did mentioned a bit of it and it what made her won at the end. But when someone is capable with a ice pick to make helicopter blow up or capable of holding bowders the size of the great pyramide stone. Lara in a vs already face Drake and just for her physical ability smoke him. it was a Death Battle episode were the when throuth her history and ability

Why did a history teacher not catch the Charleston reference or Marion being 15?

[@V0ID_X5]

Indiana won- hands down! Although that “marian” bar was lethal

[@frankm.2850]

(Not so) Fun Fact: Originally there was going to be a big fight between Indiana Jones and Sword Dude, but on the day they were going to film Ford was having gastrointestinal issues and was more than a little sick, so asked if he could just shoot the guy instead. On one hand I’d’ve loved to see that fight, but that scene has become so iconic.

[@matityaloran9157]

3:21, for the record, the Raiders Minimization wasn’t a good cinematic critique. Without Indiana Jones in the movie, the Nazis kill Marion Ravenwood to get the medallion, find the Ark and all die, with him in the movie she lives. Also, it’s not a movie about the sacred relics of Biblical Judaism, it’s a movie about a disbelieving archaeologist whose quest for the Ark transforms him from a skeptic to a believer. Not to mention it was a major theme of the film that the Ark wasn’t a weapon. Amy Fera Fowler missed the entire point of the movie. Also, in the sequels, Jones actually is an essential character so the critique doesn’t work there. I know it was written as a joke but it’s not a good criticism

[@mrksimka1159]

Big Bang got something wrong about nerd and geek culture. I'm shocked (not)

[@matityaloran9157]

@@mrksimka1159 It got right that the kind of people it portrays are the kind of people who would nitpick extremely minor flaws in popular movies and regard them as glaring story problems but as narrative criticism goes, they’re dead wrong about this one.

[@NinjaKu23]

Not only that, but her absent dad bar also falls flat since Lara's father also wasn't present in her life right up until he was killed. Indy took this despite it being a close battle. He just had harder hitting, deep cutting bars delivered with style.

[@matityaloran9157]

@@NinjaKu23 I’m not actually engaged in the Lara Croft franchise (though I am in the Indiana Jones franchise) every so often it happens that one of the characters in an ERB video is someone with whom I’m familiar and the other isn’t

[@jabbathehutt83]

If there was to be a part 6 for the ERB reactions with more historic figures they have a couple older ones on Nice Peter's channel too like Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking, Dr, Seuss vs William Shakespeare, Napoleon (Bonaparte) vs Napoleon (Dynamite), Beethoven vs Justin Bieber, and Christopher Columbus vs Captain Kirk. They definitely started more with a Historic figure vs Pop Culture figure. One I really want to see your reaction to is Joan of Arc vs Miley Cyrus, which I think does cover more content with Joan than it does with Miley.

[@computerstar9883]

That flatted/boobie trapping also is a reference to how Angelina had surgery on her breasts due to cancer since the reboot featured flat chested

[@lacey9896]

Laura Croft did bring a lot of heat but Indiana Jones made you have to think to get some of his lines and they still hurt in the moment. Besides the only reason some of Laura's hit like they did is because we know Indy so well.

[@Merennulli]

That's probably fair. I know her almost entirely from jokes about her first game. The rest I'm having to guess at from Jones' lines.

[@thelastchance5892]

Loved the video. Can you please check out Gettysburg trilogy by iced earth. I've been waiting for a history teacher to check it out so they can see the beauty of it like I do. Thank you

I would make the argument that India won because a fair amount of Lara's comments were cheep shots which either had little substance or missed the point.

[@mattieguilliams129]

Yet another time Indiana Jones has been covered, and it was even straight up referenced in the Epic Rap Battle, that Marian was 15 when she had a sexual relationship with Jones. Which means that Jones is guilty of Statutory R@p3. And even in the movie he wasn't even apologetic about it. And yet, not even a passing "Yikes!" Or "Ew!" from our history teacher here. Can we all at least try to work on calling out the wrongness of things like that?
