The reason Henry Jones Sr telling Indy to let the grail go is so important is because this is a man who spent his entire life obsessing over this cup, to the point that he never had time for his child or wife (though according to him, Indy's mom understood that so well that she didn't tell him she was sick). And yet he's the one saying that in the end, it's not worth it. What's important isn't that Indy is being told to let go, it's the context behind it.

[@PawsleyDirt]

Bam! Case closed.

[@SarumanOrthanc]

Also, the fact that he calls Indiana by his preferred name and not Junior.

[@doctjoe]

But the thing is that that's a character moment for Henry Jones Sr. and not for Indiana, so I kinda see what they're talking about in that sense

[@SarumanOrthanc]

@@doctjoe The film is about the relationship between them. When Indiana sees his dad wanting to help him instead of having the one thing he had desired his whole life, that relationship was strengthened.

[@chrisedwards8835]

I always saw the 'let it go' scene in Crusade as symbolic of Indy and his father's relationship. Indy was trying to garner his father's respect by retrieving the the object of his life-long obsession. His father telling him to let it go showed that Indy was always more important to him, he just never showed him in traditional ways.

@@JamesNintendoNerd You...came. Yep. That about sums it up.

[@TheGoddamnJefe]

The “let it go” moment is the moment when Sean Connery’s character calls Indiana by his name rather than junior. It was his was of saying, “You don’t have to keep trying to earn my respect, you have it.” It’s a great father and son moment. It doesn’t make Indiana weaker. If anything, it shows that he has done more than necessary to impress his father.

[@orinanime]

Henry Killing nazis isn't an inconsistency. They both do. He makes a face at Indy because Indy is reveling in the act of murder instead of acknowledging it as a solemn necessity.

[@promontorium]

Mike seemed intent on shitting on every aspect of that movie. I agree it wasn't inconsistent at all. It takes his dad awhile to acclimate. By the time he blows up the tank he has already come to understand what's at stake and what needs to be done.

[@josephroszell]

You can't do that you don't have a license to kill!

[@OriasX]

And because he is his son

[@ed_ward6869]

6:59 Henry Jones Sr. blowing up the truck isn't an inconsistency, it's character development. After that Marcus looks at him surprised, and Henry responds saying, "this is war." He has changed where he still doesn't like killing, but will do it when necessary for the grail and his son.

[@justalonelystrider5522]

I was watching Last Crusade today and I always found funny that that moment came right after the whole “the pen is mightier than the sword”

[@jc.1191]

Agreed

[@toamatau8785]

It's also a mirror of an earlier moment. Sr. says "look what you did" after Indy guns down a bunch of Nazis at the castle nonchalantly and then later Marcus says "look what you did" to which Sr. says "it's war!"

[@clugzo]

Also I feel that the "let it go " scene was lost on mike , the whole movie Indies dad was obsessed with finding the grail, to the point he had neglected indie . This was adressed in the blimp scene ,when indie pointed this out at which point Indies dad called him out and said well I'm here? What do you want to talk about then? Indies dad also scallded him and dismissed him threw out the movie , is this what you call archeology? Also senior called him junior threw out the movie ,belittling him...."his name is junior" dad!! " well that's his name Henry Jones junior we named the dog Indian " I have fond memories of that dog. When the blond falls to her death after she was obsessed with the grail and indie dives to grab it. Indies dad yells junior! But when Indies dad grabs his sons hand he see indie is trying to reach for the grail wanting to grab it " I can grab it" Indies dad says "Indiana let it go ". Of all people that would know about being obsessed about getting the grail Indies dad would know ,regardless Indies dad doesn't want to lose his son over the grail even though most of his life he has been looking for it . So Indies dad says "Indiana let it go" he didn't say "junior" he said Indiana...because he knew his son liked to be called that to get his attention and the he said let it go . As in ,it's not worth losing you over . "Indiana Let it go"

[@precoius]

These are really good points. Underrated comment.

[@theresidentalien]

“The Return of the Great Adventure” is the tagline on the 1982 rerelease of the film. It was literally referring to itself, not the films that inspired it. It is not attached to the original 1981 release of the film.

[@guidosanchez5695]

You are 100% correct.

[@jamesrussell2936]

5:04 "His father has to convince him to not grab the grail. I think that makes Indy a much weaker character." Nobody's perfect. Sometimes you need a reminder from you friends or family. Indy's fingers were right on the grail. Sometimes temptation can really get you.

[@reeses58]

I think the idea of that scene is that Indy's father ignored him all his life in favour of his quest for the grail but, with the grail finally in reach, he realized that family was more important.

[@medes5597]

@@reeses58 exactly. That's the point of that scene. That he finally let's go of his lifelong quest that's caused him to ignore his family, he knows its time to let go. He doesn't need this, he's been proved correct and that's enough. His quest is over. Also Indiana Jones is an archeologist and a historian, and its a theme throughout the third movie that Indy wants to preserve these things for historic purposes. The opening scene of young indy has him repeating "this belongs in a museum". That scene sets up that Indy wants these things, not for himself or any other selfish reasons but for their historical preservation. He's reaching for the Grail to preserve it, so it exists for future generations. His father, on the other hand, has not only repeatedly warned about the power of the grail throughout the film, but he's also not a field archaeologist, he's an academic. So that scene isn't just father and son, it's field and theory, it's youth and experience meeting and so on. For his father, having his theory work proved correct was enough. For Indy, theory is only part of it, the preservation of the object is his main objective. It's symbolic, being the last crusade, of Indy letting go of field work and moving into bookish academia as he ages (and aging/time is a big theme of the movie, tying into the eternal youth of the grail) A lot is said in that scene, and I disagree with Mike that it makes him a weaker character.

[@TheShadowwalker007]

Great comment

[@Opinwood]

@@reeses58 Nailed it and I was hoping the Cinemassacre guys brought this up. It needed to be the father to complete his character arc. Now he -- the only who neglected Indy in favor of the Grail all his life -- is the one telling him to let it go. In a sense he's also telling himself this. Now Dad loves and is devoted to his son finally. It's beautiful.

[@youtubasoarus]

It doesn't make him a weaker character. That WAS his character. He made his whole life about chasing relics. How would that have made him weaker? He had to overcome his desire to find truth in the cup, to save his life and his father.

This is a tough one. It's by far my favorite film franchise. Between Raiders and Last Crusade, It has to be a draw for me as well. Both are masterpieces in their own right. I do have one humble opinion on the ending of Crusade that people seem to be debating here. Indy’s reaching for the grail and can almost reach it. The temptation is overwhelming. It doesn’t make him weak; it makes him human. The film isn’t just about a treasure hunt. I’d argue that it’s primarily a father/son re-connection story and that moment (along with the look on Indy’s face during the hug after Henry thought he’d gone over the cliff) was the pinnacle. The grail. Their acrimony. They “Let it go” and it was a beautiful moment. The boy needed his father and his father finally came through.

They're thematically linked, with the biblical plot device and the Nazi's as antagonists. Temple Of Doom is more of a stand-alone adventure.

The making "Indy a weaker character" when it comes to the grail is something i disagree with. We have to remember the beginning of Crusade with Young Indy.Even as a kid his ethos of " IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!" is strong and clearly something Henry had drilled into him. The ending Juxtaposes their roles,with Henry,who had spent his entire life chasing it being the one to give it up,influenced in part by his son and with Indy essentially becoming his father who obsessed with it but not for the selfish reason of the blonde chick but for the noble reason of wanting to see it in a museum as his father did and in the end both deciding that family is whats more important. There is a great bit of character play in that scene and feels like it went full circle.

The one Tony was watching is the best one.

[@GoatzombieBubba]

The porno

[@Rainforestdelight]

The skeleton transformation scene in crusade was not cgi but 100% practical.

[@newsandsports7077]

Oh numb Shaba, oh numb Shaba, oh numb Shaba, Temple of Doom the best.

[@marctradler7014]

They´re both close to perfection. Do you want more comedy or mystique? A relatable or a hardass hero? Connery is great but it´s Raiders for me, 1-3 are endlessly rewatchable and the very reason sequels aren´t always bad.

[@Harri927]

The Last Crusade is my favorite of the Indiana Jones series and it’s one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

[@kenmyers1324]

Temple of doom bro lol growing up that was the only indie I saw . recorded on a shity VHS army of darkness was on the same tape 😂😂😂😂

[@PaulMatthewMusic1]

Army of Darkness lol. Thats an awesome flic

[@Richard_Nickerson]

That would have been a pretty cool tape, I'll admit.

[@martinmartin5562]

that's a good double feature

[@mike91mdk45]

Great taste! Two of my favorites lol

[@frankhughes6403]

Everyone says Raiders, but Crusade is easily my favorite by a large margin.

[@wtfyoutube4873]

Are you sick or are you dumb?

[@JerrysFineCigars]

The last crusade is about family and that is what is so powerful about it.

[@CaptinNabil7]

My thoughts exactly.

[@kainpwnsu]

Crusade is slightly better, because it has a little more humor between Ford and Connery.

[@Courier_333]

Raiders is actually pretty realistic though. Like all the action setpieces and fights are fucking raw.

[@josejacobo]

I am the only one in the temple of doom.......

[@Arcexey]

ZwiebelJack9000 Temple of doom is as good and iconic (if not more) as the other 2 they just delusional.

[@stacypare7955]

Johnny Cab pic...nice!

[@jonathanredford215]

No way José. I love that one

[@Nibas]

Temple of Doom is my absolute favorite. It's so much fun. Better than Raiders imo.

[@SmokingSpoon]

The Fuch... Temple of Doom is the best.

[@Guerrillablackdog]

Lol. It's better than the crystal skull one. I thought it was gonna be about the Mitchell Hedges skull but nope. :/

[@andrewpike2398]

Definitely better than crystal skull but I still prefer raiders and crusade over Temple of doom still a great movie though

[@jimjo8541]

Ok Mike Jesus you can say something good about Last Crusade and it doesn’t mean you like it more than Raiders.

[@SamuelAdamsVastine]

I grew up watching Zorro's Fighting Legion and LOVED seeing it playing in the background and your referring to it, because I noticed the same things about Raiders. Great video!

[@peytone5387]

The Last Crusade has Sean Connery. Therefore, it wins.

[@tazgamerplays]

They needed someone that could have screen presence and not overshadowed by Ford. Sean Connery was the perfect actor to play his father. Both great actors that didn't take away from the other.

[@CelestialWoodway]

He sucked in it though.

[@BulletDrummer]

There is a scene in Last Crusade which cements it as my favourite film. Sean Connery using an umbrella and bird noises to goad a flock of seagulls to kamikaze and take down and strafing Nazi plane. Take it in.

[@TrevorToonArt]

It also has Dr. Elsa Schneider so it is a big big win.

[@theminingbat]

1. The Last Crusade (10/10) 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (10/10) 3. Temple of Doom (5/10) 4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2/10)

[@shaneholtzman551]

Gotta go with Mike on this one. Raiders makes Indy feel like an icon.

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

1:39 Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) 1:44 Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (1989)

[@JoryStultz1234]

Incredible content as always fellas! I just watched Temple of Doom and Crusade last night! Nice coincidence.

[@doctorhandsome]

James: "Raiders wasn't original, it re-used elements from previous movies. The sequel to the sequel to Raiders that re-re-re-used those elements is more original."

[@ChAn-dv9to]

Pssshhh, Temple Of Doom is the best

[@ChAn-dv9to]

@Joe McKenzie psssssh

[@ChAn-dv9to]

@Joe McKenzie ......pssshh......

[@ChAn-dv9to]

@Joe McKenzie dont tell me show me

[@ChAn-dv9to]

@Joe McKenzie listen here Joe...you can make a choice right now, so you best make the right one

[@Mariojinn2]

We need a gif of Mike saying "Give me that money baby!!" 13:16 haha

[@sammylane21]

As for as RAIDERS vs CRUSADE goes, TEMPLE OF DOOM beats'em both for me.

[@hatrickswayze4888]

Lies

[@philippeh3904]

I don’t like how in Last Crusade they make Marcus Brody an idiot. In Raiders I felt he was an intelligent mentor to Indy, whereas he’s just a goof ball in Crusade.

[@JustinCardiff]

Raiders is classic, Last Crusade is slightly silly.

[@quietman208]

Last Crusade is a joke... better than Temple of Doom... but jokes nonetheless. I had a hard time taking it serious, especially that boat chase scene lol.

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

Empire is classic, ROTJ is slightly silly. It's like poetry...

[@thunderbolt2145]

Agree! I never could finish watching Crusade. Too goofy

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

I like how Tony didn’t even think about it. “Raiders!”

[@skinc4rver]

Temple of Doom will always be the most enjoyable to watch. Not the best story wise, but a great movie regardless.
