So Much Fun! | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@joshuah9109]

Years ago I managed a movie theater. One weekend we showed Raiders and we had the woman who played Marion (Karen Allen) as our guest. She signed autographs for the audience after the film. She was SUCH a sweetheart. I told her I was a huge fan of Raiders and I adored her character. She was gracious enough to give me an autograph, It's a picture of her, in the bar, looking at the medallion and she wrote: To Josh, I'm your goddamn partner, Karen Allien (clearly a reference to the scene at 13:04). and of course, I still have it. She was so nice and it was a pleasure to meet her ☺️.

[@kahlareacts]

That’s so cool!

[@Little-Larry777]

She was so pretty. She's great in "Animal House" too.

[@Elerad]

My aunt was actually friends with her back in the day. They grew up in the same town. As my aunt said, Karen was such a sweetheart. She was not made for Hollywood.

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

I'm jealous!

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

A fun fact of John Rhys Davies (Sallah as you realized), it´s that when he played Gimli in LOTR, he was one of the tallest actors in the casting (being the dwarf). Viggo Mortensen or Orlando Bloom are shorter than him.

[@ronweber1402]

Ya they would dig a hole for him to stand in when they were doing group shots with Legolas and Aragorn. Luckily he was proportionately taller than the actors playing the Hobbits so they didn't have to do any photographic trickery when they were shot together.

I watched these movies so many times when I was a kid. They sparked my interest in history and ancient cultures. Now I work as a curator and archivist in a national museum. That ending was very realistic. The majority of supposedly priceless artefacts ends up in storage somewhere, never to be seen again. Side note: these movies were also my first exposure to Nazism. I only knew Nazis as the bad guys from Indiana Jones and had no idea they were real. Because I kept thinking so much about Indy's adventures and started to make up new stories in my head, I began drawing swastikas everywhere. Which, in modern-day Germany, is very much frowned upon, as I soon came to find out the hard way.

[@Morgana7262]

It was a thing in the 80's for girls captured in movies to get dressed up by their captors, most famously, of course was Jabba and Leia

[@blakeharris58]

I would say Leia was dressed down.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

Not just the '80s... The "damsel in distress" trope goes back to the dawn of cinema at least, if not to antiquity and the birth of theater. At least with Marion, we have a damsel who's actually not justy quite salty but also rather capable, which was a bit of a twist on the concept at the time. :)

[@Unknown-hb3id]

@@lennyvalentin6485 Leia was also super capable as well! Even in her first appearance, she shoots loads of people, stands up to and talks smack to the big bads, doesn't give in to their torture, and leads her own rescue after being let out. Then she's shown as one of the Rebel leaders, commanding the defense and evacuation of Hoth. Even when she's captured by Jabba, she single-handedly kills Jabba with her own chain!

[@lennyvalentin6485]

[@BondFreek]

It's simply Raiders of the Lost Ark. There's no Indiana Jones in the title. It was Paramount's idea to put Indiana Jones on the boxes. They thought people are too stupid to understand that Raiders of the Lost Ark connects with the other movies.

[@sparroni]

They did it so they could stick all of movies together on VHS and DVD in stores. Alphabetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark would have shown up further down the rack.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Great reaction! Everything hit just as it should have. Loved your speculations on the monkey and ship captain. And the coat hanger got you like it does most people - shows you were really paying attention. At the end, the Ark is in an unlabeled box, safely anonymous tucked away in a warehouse full of other boxes. "Top men"! Yeah. These films were set up like the short adventure serials shown back in the 30s and 40s as warmups for the main movies at theaters. They stood out as different from other movies even when released, and are still special. Lucas, Spielberg, Williams, and Harrison Ford, how could you miss? You'll like the next two for sure (the third is my favorite).

[@Mr.Ekshin]

I feel bad for that monkey in the same way I felt bad for Captain America... he had a date.

Looking forward to living my teen years again, vicariously, through you. I hope against hope that you are going to react at least to the first three IJ movies. Thanks for the post Kahla. Kudos 😊

[@BigGator5]

"All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics. Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this IS history." Fun Fact: Most of the "body blow" sounds were created by hitting a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat. Historical Fact: No serious archaeologist believes the Ark Of The Covenant is in Tanis. In fact, it's a known fact that it is in Ethiopia. Location Location Fact: During filming in Tunisia, nearly everyone in the cast and crew got sick except director Steven Spielberg. It is thought that he avoided illness by eating only the food he'd brought with him: A lot of cans of Spaghetti-O's. What Script Fact: The famous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman was not in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the sword out of his attacker's hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, "shooting the sucker" was Ford's suggestion. Steven Spielberg immediately took him up on the idea, and the scene was successfully filmed. Pranked In Post Fact: During the scene where Indiana (Harrison Ford) threatens the Nazis with a Panzerfaust, you can clearly see a fly creeping into the mouth of Paul Freeman. Contrary to popular belief, he did not swallow it. Freeman explained in an interview years later that the fly flew off, but Steven Spielberg noticed it and decided it would be funny to cut out a few frames so the fly would not be seen flying away. This made it look as though Freeman ate it, and he found the edit highly amusing. Empire Magazine chose this scene as one of the most common scenes for which people press the "Pause" button on their VCRs.

[@ronweber1402]

The Ark is presumed to be in Ethiopia but the monks who guard it have never allowed anyone to see it let alone examine it so it remains conjecture.

[@Little-Larry777]

Yeah, I know they say it's in Ethiopia, but I don't believe it. Misdirection is key when you want to hide something. Also, stop copying/pasting from imDB, it's annoying. Thanks.

[@Aeroldoth3]

Serious archaeologists believe in the ark?

[@Little-Larry777]

@@Aeroldoth3 I think many are pretty sure it existed just to keep the 10 commandments in, it's mentioned in a good bit of historical literature outside the Bible. I don't know whether they believe it actually has/had the spiritual power associated with it that we see in the movie. As for it still existing today. I remember one of my anthropology professors telling us the ark supposedly is being housed today in Ethiopia, in a church there that's under 24 hr guard, you can google it, but she said we don't really know, bc only monks or 1 monk is allowed into the church and it has been that way for hundreds of years. My professor expressed doubts that the real ark was there though. "According to Ethiopian tradition, the Ark of the Covenant is preserved in the ancient holy city of Aksum (or Axum). For centuries, the great relic was kept in the Church of Mary of Zion, where the emperor Iyasu is recorded as having seen it and spoken to it in 1691." PBS. Personally, I think the real ark exists somewhere, but not in Ethiopia, and I believe in Bible stories, so I wouldn't go near it.

[@Aeroldoth3]

@@Little-Larry777 Thank you for elaborating. I don't believe in the bible or the ark.... or noah's ark for that matter. I assumed that only christians (and christian "professionals") would consider such things valid, particularly with the lack of corroborating physical evidence, but I am not a professional myself so I have no knowledge of such matters.

[@aaronthesaxman660]

Growing up, my mother always made me close my eyes during the ark opening scene. I always thought it couldn't be that bad. Then I watched it for the first time and realized yeah, it was that bad. 😂 Horrifying

[@MartinBeerbom]

The opening scene is the climax of a "Treasure of Sierra Madre" type story: Indy and the other two each had one piece of the map, so they had to work together to find the temple. Gun guy thought they reached the end, and tried to betray the two others to get the treasure for himself.

[@davidbergfors6820]

15:22 It is said that while filming this scene, Harrison Ford was sick, so rather than doing the whole elaborate fighting scene they had rehearsed, Harrison asked the Director if he couldn't just shoot the guy instead. Marion is young, their argument in the beginning implies she was too you for any kind of romantic relationship with Indy the last time they met.

[@ronweber1402]

In the original writeup Marion was supposed to have been 14 and Indy 24 which would have lined up with him being a graduate student but in the revised version they made Marion 17 and Indy 27, not much better but not quite as rapey as 14. Now by saying not quite as rapey this is by 1980's standards today it would be equally disgusting.

[@j.woodbury412]

Yes. Harrison Ford and most of the rest of the cast and crew came down with food poisoning. The only one who didn't was Director Steven Spielberg, and that's because he brought his own food with him.

[@matttorrence2900]

Captain Katanga was a good man.

[@torreyholmes7205]

I don't think this is a spoiler, but if you happen to watch "Captain America", there is a throwaway line from someone who scoffs about Hitler: "The Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert." It's just an amusing callback to this movie.

[@williambryan3346]

That’s because Joe Johnston, whose job was “Art Director: Visual Effects, ILM” on this movie, directed Captain America: The First Avenger. Also, both movies were released by Paramount Pictures before Disney purchased Lucasfilm and Marvel. The man who scoffed was the main antagonist, Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. The Red Skull.

[@Little-Larry777]

Not a call back. The real Nazi's had teams actually digging for relics across the world before WWII. Did you think Lucas and Spielberg made this up? They didn't.

[@moonfisher]

Correct! The Nazis really did treasure hunt. Hitler was massively into the occult.

[@dabe1971]

15:32 Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned the background to this classic scene. There was a whole fight sequence storyboarded and rehearsed with the swordman and Indy with his whip. Sadly on the day of the shoot Harrison and many of the crew had been suffering with dysentery and just wasn't up to the task of performing and so he famously asked Speilberg over lunch: "Why don't I just shoot the sucker ?" He agreed and history was made.

[@philmullineaux5405]

A movie and character that was made up as a joke!..., And a film that wasnt going to be made! So on a vacation of Spielberg and Lucas, in Hawaii, after star wars 2. And Spielberg had just finished ET. Or Close Encounters. They are at the beach or pool. Just them thinking about old movies and movie shorts-, like commercials between movies-.like 5-10 minute short episodic reels of s great character. And it's like short TV episodes, between movies. And these two saying to each other, where is that guy anymore? The hero that defeats the bad guy, fights evil, gets out of impossible situations, and gets the girl? And Spielberg says to Lucas ," Well, i kinda been thinking about this chatacter, and been kinda writing him out...." and Lucas was like, " U know, I kinda got a couple story boards, about a guy, and how this guy should be dressed, and act, and he goes on adventures for rare artifacts....!" And waa-laah! Indiana Jones is born! And yes, Hitler was an occultist religious nut/freak! He looked for anything of religious significance, good or evil. He sent men all over the world, to look for things, and also do research of medical engineering botany architecture biology, etc. Pro tips, the shooting the sword guy scene, he did cuz he was very sick! The best line in the movie he add-libbed..."its not the years honey its the mileage." The king Cobra was real!!...filmed behind a piece of glass! The stunt scene of the guy sliding under the truck, will never be duplicated-considered far too dangerous! Supposedly the Ark is either still secretly hidden under where Jesus was crucified, or Solomon's wife took it back to Ethiopia, and hid it. And that every member of the British royal family since about 1100, has seen it!😮😮😮😮 According to the Bible, no one could touch it directly or look into it, without instant death. Unless u were ritually sanctified, and a descendant of Aaron, Moses brother! So if u ever meet a Jewish person with a name like Cohen cone conen kohn, like that, u are talking to a son of Aaron😮😮😮😮 The lid of the ark has 2 gold angels, wings spread, facing each other. It's called The Mercy Seat of God. He will sit there one day, and judge all the people of the world. So the link to Jesus is, when He was crucified, it was hidden in a tomb under his crucification. When He died, His blood poured through the rocks, and landed on top of the Mercy Seat. So if u are a believer in Jesus, before God judges u for sins, He sees u accepted Jesus as your Savior, and sees Jesus' blood on u. Same as on top of the Mercy Seat. So God doesn't see your sin, He sees Jesus' blood. U are forgiven!!!🥰 Yes, they "did it" in this movie, their child pops up in 4! Part 2 is quite dark but it has Short Round! 3 is best. 4 is ok. Harrison is the only person who has done 3 iconic movie characters at the same time. Indy, Han from Star Wars and Deckerd from Bladerunner!Mariam was in a great John carpenter movie, Starman!!! To me, this had a lot of African Queen, vibes!

[@j.woodbury412]

The role of Indiana Jones was supposed to have been played by Tom Selleck, but he was busy working on the tv show "Magnum P.I."

[@asterix7842]

This is the first video of yours I've seen, and what a pleasure it is to see such a beautiful young woman enjoying one of my favorite movies. I'm a long time Spielberg and Harrison Ford fan so, of course, this is one of my favorites. To me, it will always be just "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The "Indiana Jones and the" was added after the sequels were released. The call letters on the seaplane at the beginning of the film were OB-CPO. Images of R2-D2 and C-3PO can be seen among the hieroglyphs on a wall in the Well of Souls. The scene with the swordsman was supposed to be a long choreographed fight scene, but Harrison Ford, as well as most of the rest of the cast and crew had developed dysentery and could only stand for 15 minutes at a time. You can see it on his face right after he shoots the guy. They tried several times to film it as written, but couldn't make it work, so they decided to change it and an iconic scene was born. The line "It's not the years, honey, it's the milage" was ad-libbed by Ford. Spielberg is known for giving his stars wide latitude to improvise, such as the "You're going to need a bigger boat" line in Jaws. The second movie, Temple of Doom, is, in my opinion, the worst of the franchise (though I haven't seen the last one yet). The Last Crusade is at least as good as this one, plus it costars Sean Connery. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't nearly as bad as the haters say it is, even though it does costar Shia LaBeouf.

[@laurelg9586]

This is the best of them all...Karen Allen is great and she reappears in the very last one so that is worth a watch just for the reunion of Marian and Indy..

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

15:27-15:35 This is an important scene in movie history. Also this only happened because the scene was originally gonna be a full on fight, but Harrison Ford had dysentery at the time, so he suggested that Indy just shoots the guy.

[@natecloe8535]

Wow I made it 7 comments down before I stopped and I didn't see one person sharing this Viggo Mortensen broken toe overshared movie fact. In the funny scene in the marketplace. When Indiana just pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy with the big sword. There was actually supposed to be a Fairly long choreographed fight between the 2 of them. But the day that they filmed this Harrison Ford Came down with the flu but they didn't have time to stop filming. Him just pulling the pistol and shooting the guy was Harrison Ford's compromise to still shooting the scene Rather than recuperating.

10:24 um yeah its weird but here is a basic thing about it "The script states that Marion's age in Raiders is 25 years old, making her around 15 at the time of the affair with a 27-year-old Indiana Jones." So.... Yeah he did wrong. The idea i believe was to make Indy not a hero but a flawed man who does sometimes align with good because deep down he wants to be good even if he doesnt act on it. Still weird though.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark": A youngster is about to go globe trotting with Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. What will she make of this, "old, fast-moving, action-packed, character-centered, romp through tombs?" Spielberg wanted to do a "James Bond movie," but Lucas suggested the 1930's cliffhanger movie serials. Second choice Harrison Ford got to create another iconic movie character. Karen Allen made "Marion Ravenwood" Indy's equal, who could drink a Neanderthal under the table, but was all Woman. With enough action scenes for THREE movies of this genre, it convinced a generation of college students to "dig in the dirt" as now-Cool Archeologists.

I love how the climax of the film really felt like that Old Testament style "smiting", like how Genesis describes God destroying the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with sulfur and fire for their wickedness. He told Lot and his family to flee and "not look back", but his wife turns and looks and is burned into a pillar of salt. It was cool how Indy knew not to look.

There were some scientists who theorized that the Ark was a giant capacitor. A capacitor is an electronic component that can build up and store a charge of electricity. If it is grounded (or touched) anyone touching it would be shocked. So, the very act of carrying the Ark out in the desert with all the dry air and walking around would be like rubbing a wool sock, building up a charge, and touching someone for a shock. The Israelites were strictly told not to touch or 'steady' the ark because it would kill them. Only carry it by the posts and were probably non-conductive.

Kahla definitely pointed out something that I never noticed before. Whoever crosses Indy gets got, even Crystal the Monkey.

[@Cleron_O_Andarilho]

Fun fact: that place where they put the arc, it is Area 51

[@dustinsensenig9798]

32:13 one of the funniest parts of this movie

[@innercircle341]

Its just Raiders Of The Lost Ark

[@j.woodbury412]

I think it might have been relabeled as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, after the name Indiana Jones became a household name. But I could be wrong. I think if it came out as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, people would be like "Indiana Who?"

[@MartinBeerbom]

Marion was a teenager (15/16. Lucas wanted to push it and start it when she was 11). Indy was her first love, but he was much older (mid 20s). So that's the "falling out" Indy had with Ravenwood (Marion's father, Indy's teacher), and Indy left and broke her heart.

[@Little-Larry777]

I thought she was 17, which is legal. Not morally right, but legal.

[@billthomas478]

There's only 3 Indy movies. The other two are absolutely horrible fan fiction from people who didn't really like Indy very much

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

I like the other two.

[@glamazon6172]

No, you were correct. It's three movies. No need for more.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

7:40 The actor to the left is same guy who played Rogue 2, Zev Senesca on Hoth in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back.

[@bossfan49]

That was a different actor that played Zev (Rogue 2). This actor played Jek Porkins in Episode IV.

[@TylerD288]

Some trivia almost no one mentions: The actor who played the chubby Government guy with blonde hair (William Hootkins) was a pilot attacking the Death Star in the Original Star Wars. He's one of the first to die when his ship collides with the Death Star, his character name is "Porkins".

[@bossfan49]

Lucas could always come up with great names.. I mean... Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader.. but even the minor characters like starfighter pilots- Jek Porkins, Dak Ralter, Biggs Darklighter

[@pandemicwarfare4288]

Missed the Wilhelm scream!

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

Please react to all five of the movies.

[@rashka134]

The reason why marion is mad at indy is because he had a relationship with her when she was a teenager about 15 or 16 and it was wrong

[@kahlareacts]

Oh, okay. I was wondering when she said she was just a child, if she was referring to being an actual minor at the time or if she was just talking about being younger in general.

[@emilymoran9152]

I mean, they never say that in the movies - the exact wording can just be read as that she was young(ish) and is pissed that he left. But, yeah, apparently that was the initial intent. So, eww.

[@SB992REBORN]

​@@kahlareactsWatch up to movie 4! Then do some side stuff of Indiana Jones like the show Young Indiana Jones which is on Disney Plus before doing movie 5!

[@SB992REBORN]

​@@kahlareacts and keep in mind the director of this only did the first 4! Keep that in mind for movie 5 and do some research before seeing it!

[@SB992REBORN]

​@@kahlareacts ALL 4 SHOULD HAVE BEEN RATED R! THEYRE WAY TOO VIOLENT AND GRAPHIC FOR PG13 LET ALONE THIS AND TEMPLE ARE PG AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF PG-13!!!

[@mattx449]

The melting faces was traumatic when I was a kid😂 but the effect is so cool 😎

[@joshuah9109]

I was 11 when this came out, I saw it in a sold out theater. Being an 11 year old boy, I thought that scene was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! 😁

[@travismans400]

5 movies in total

[@billthomas478]

Wrong. Only 3

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

@@billthomas478 dude please stop giving misinformation just because you hate the last two movies doesn’t mean no one else can like them you can’t make everyone pretend they don’t exist.

[@GuadalupePicasso]

Your channel just randomly popped up in my feed, and I’ve gotta say, you are such an authentically and genuinely beautiful woman, with what seems to be a very pure spirit❤ Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much!!

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 another 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. 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 very good and 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. There's no way he could swim between two vessels underway. 6. Coolest final death scene in cinema history. 7. The ride at Disneyland is pretty cool. Make sure it's one of your first to get it out of the way before the line gets too long. Adventureland. (If you can still afford it)🙄 That other professor is played by Denholm Elliot. He played Coleman in, "Trading Places".

[@wendell6468]

Karen Allen (Marion) was Scottie Smalls' mom in The Sandlot...your're killin me Smalls 😂😂😂

[@stanlybeagug4775]

I've now watched every video on your channel (as long as it was something I haven't seen before. Your LotR reactions were the best so far btw. Completely excellent.) You are such a genuine, astute and goodhearted lady and I appreciate you sharing it in your reactions, with we the audience, so much. If you are taking suggestions here are a few movies and shows I recommend to watch if you haven't seen them already: *Merlin* (a BBC series that is amazing and so underrated. It is genius in terms of character and acting, generally pretty good story wise as well, despite a couple of suspension of disbelief or slight inconsistency type things that are forgivable due to how great it is overall), *Avatar: the Last Airbender* , *Hidalgo* , *Padington* 1&2, *Alita: Battle Angel* (underrated), *Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe* is the best of the ones Disney put out and the most accurate. It's a 10/10 but I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen it when you were young. The other two have their great elements making it worth a watch despite straying too far from the books in plot, and oftentimes character, for my taste), *The Secret World of Arrietty* (a Studio Ghibli adaptation of The Borrowers), *Castle in the Sky* (another Ghibli film), and if possible *Spy x Family* (I'm not sure how possible these last three ones are, I'm pretty sure that animes and Studio Ghibli tend to be a bit trickier with copyright) There are lots more that could be suggested. Mostly oldies but goodies, *The Lady Vanishes* (1938), *Shane* (a western), *Fandango* (1985), *Arsenic and Old Lace* (very fun and bizarre), *Father Goose* (1964) and *Gaslight* . In case you haven't watched it (or if you always have a great reaction to it), *It's a Wonderful Life* is a must watch, especially perfect for around Christmas time. No idea if you've seen these animated films already but also: *A Bugs Life* , *The Fox and the Hound* , *Up* , *Toy Story* (1,2&3), *Nemo* , *Megamind* , *The Incredibles* , *The Iron Giant* ,and *Wreck it Ralph* .

The whole "Do Not Open" thing. I made that mistake once. Nothing ever came into my U.S. Army armory again after that. If i can't open it, it doesn't belong in my domain, i will put that shit in the hallway, and and report you for dropping it off in the first place.

[@ronweber1402]

Unless it comes with paperwork and scary dudes with sunglasses, I don't blame you.

@@ronweber1402 I can and have stared down the suits. Not my shit. Not on my property book. It's yours because you asked. Otherwise, it goes in the burn pit. Bye.
