*THE LAST CRUSADE* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING INDIANA JONES

[@ridleysaria]

Elsa is actually my favorite Indy girl because she keeps you guessing. You think she's good, then you find out she's bad, but then there's enough evidence to keep you wondering if she's going to be redeemed. In the end she paid the price for her sins though. Elsa just couldn't let it go.

[@wizzolo]

I remember having such a huge crush on her as a kid XD

[@lassesipila6418]

Good job with that last line. :D

[@Mendozer7502]

Like Frozen... let it go.

[@kevenbassett7323]

!oh yes, at the end Jen actually said; 'Schneider, I did 'nazi' that coming'.

[@thetwikikid4444]

The actress who played Elsa, Alison Doody was great playing another villain in the movie RRR. She seems to have aged gracefully as she looks great in that movie

[@elzar760]

Even with their issues, and Henry only ever calling his son Jr, he knew the one way to reach him when it really mattered was to call him Indiana. He knew that would bring him back to attention and let him know how serious it was that he listen and do what he said. Gets me in the feels.

[@danwhitehousepc]

They named the dog Indiana. Just saying. :-)

[@elzar760]

@@danwhitehousepc lotta fond memories of that dog though.

[@harveybojangle475]

The beginning of the movie, featuring the late River Phoenix as Indy, cleverly explains certain things about his character. His aversion to snakes, his need for using a whip, and the scar on his chin (that Harrison Ford actually has) just to name a few...

[@tremorsfan]

That was one heck of a day.

I like how she described the guy with the hat as pretend Indy when he in fact was the one that influenced Indy.

[@Argumemnon]

@@tremorsfan It's something I don't like about prequels; they seem to believe that they HAVE to explain every little detail in one short period.

[@edfrancis66]

"Not his face! That’s the moneymaker!" 😂Love your impromptu lines, Jen! When Last Crusade came out, Connery was still renowned as Bond, a man's man. So this academic/geeky role was really a turn, and the dad-son chemistry amazing. I felt that the Indy movies carried on the mantle of globetrotting adventure that were the Bond movies.

[@deenormus1975]

This Edwin genius just said exactly what I’ve always thought, but said it MUCH better than I ever could. 😃 I second u, m’friend

[@SwordmasterKane]

There is a good reason for that. The Bond movies were actually a huge inspiration for the Indiana Jones movies, along with the cinema serials that Lucas enjoyed as a kid. And when it came down to casting the role of Indy's father, their opinion was: "The only man that could ever be the father of Indiana Jones... is James Bond."

[@mohammedashian8094]

Plus he said that he likes this role BETTER than James Bond. In fact he only thought of bond as just a job nothing more he HATED him

[@mikepeters807]

"Is this Indiana getting his hat?" ...and his whip ...and his fear of snakes ...and the scar on his chin. Essentially the entire mythos of Indiana Jones was created in one fortuitous afternoon.

"You don't sleep with Indiana Jones and then betray him. Im sorry, No!" - Jen Murray Something to make you go hmm.

[@chrislaustin]

River did such a good job playing Indy, as he had his mannerism down to a science, really made you believe he was young Indy. Sadly, we never got to see him reach the heights of his talents, but we did get a small touch of them in movies like this. RIP

[@jeffwerth2707]

Psst - there is a 4th movie. The A story is wacky but the B story is one you will love "Crystal Skull". Also I googled if there will be an Indy 5 movie: The fifth and final Indiana Jones movie has an official release date: June 30, 2023. Harrison Ford himself announced the news onstage during Thursday's Star Wars Celebration, where Lucasfilm also revealed the first official look at Indiana Jones back in action. (Final since Harrison Ford is 80)

[@andrewchapman4267]

The 'can you fly?' 'Fly, yes, land, no' is an amusing callback to Temple, where Willie asks Indy if he knows how to fly and he says 'no, do you?'. So he flies briefly, then they jump out with the life raft. So yeh, he is technically correct 😂

[@dernwine]

Henry Jones Sr and Marcus Brody are the most under-rated team on the planet. "Henry! Henry! The pen! Don't you see? The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!"

[@Tigermania]

Considering how good Raider of the Lost Ark is, this is a great third movie. The addition of Indy's dad added a perfect dynamic and the story gives some nice character backstory. I saw it in the cinema and it delivered, one of my top 5 movies ever.

[@BadWisdom523]

That location at the end, carved out of rock, is a real place called Petra

[@DailyDamage]

Sean Connery was a great Bond and started off the longest lasting franchise in cinema. Dr No was ok but I feel that Gold Finger is one of the true classics and I loved From Russia with love, with Robert Shaw (Quinn from jaws) playing an amazingly lethal protagonist

[@jenniferjones2863]

I despise Goldfinger. It’s the only movie where Bond rapes a woman.

[@shannoncampbell3851]

I love that your books on the top shelf are arranged by color.

[@Mrs.Deanna_Ember]

I used to wonder about the backstory of that guy, and this explanation makes alot of sense given he had so much influence on him, and couldn't have been just from that one encounter when he was a kid..

[@Demigord]

" i should have watched this with my dad" she had no idea how true that was.

[@lethaldose2000]

So cool you didn't hear Indy's friend call him by his name at the begining, I think you were distracted by the phony Indy/Inspirational Indy. Your excitement when you realized that Indy was the kid was so awesome. You really are the best. You should go back and watch the intro again knowing that River Phoenix was his younger version. BTW way River Phoenix is older brother to the "Joker" Joquaim Phoenix.

[@BradSimsCPT]

Fun fact the lion scrne in the circus train serves to: establish Indys interest in whips, and source the scar on Harrison Ford's chin (which he actually received in a minor car accident)

Dr. Schneider was played by an Irish actress, Alison Doody (yes Doody, hey it's Irish) and ironically she earlier played a 'Bond girl' by the name of Jenny Flex in the 1985 James Bond film 'A View to a Kill' when Roger Moore was James Bond. Ironic because here she was acting next to Sean Connery, another ex-James Bond.

[@STNeish]

She's a REMARKABLE beauty, too.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"I would've thought Indiana Jones' dad would be adventurous just like him, but [he] seems like an indoor boy." Indy's dad clearly brought the "professor" side to the genetic table, so it sure makes you wonder what Indy's mother was like, doesn't it? I bet she was quite a troublemaker -- maybe not too dissimilar from Marion! 😝

[@JJ_W]

While Sean Connery was excellent in many roles, to the world at this time he WAS James Bond. Bond was the ultimate suave action hero, especially in the 60's and 70's. So seeing the ultimate action hero play against type as a bookworm, who can't believe that his son gets into these Bond-like adventures, just added to the humor and the joy. In the tank scene, when Connery subdues one of the Germans with a fountain pen, I have to believe that was an homage to Bond's gadgets, especially the fountain pen gadget in Connery's final Bond film. (You'll understand when you see Q issue Bond his gadgets, at the beginning of each movie.)

[@jcg1576]

Sean Connery and Roger Moore were and are the most recognizable James Bond actors. Indiana jones and the last crusade is often the favorite among viewers of the Indiana jones trilogy with Raiders of the Lost Ark often a very close second. There is a fourth Indiana Jones Movie released in 2008 called, ‘Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull’ with a musical score once again provide by and composed by John Williams. According to google it received generally good views from critics and more polarized and likely varied reviews from general audiences. For some viewers the best part of the fourth Indiana Jones movie is seeing Indians jones reconnect with original love interest Marion Ravenwood. I leave it up to you Jen if you want to check it out and decide for yourself if the fourth Indiana Jones movie is a good or at last decent follow up to the original Indiana Jones Trilogy. Love your reaction channel and your movie reactions. I also enjoy your beautiful and sweet personality.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

31:36 You've got to love how Indy's whole demeanor is basically, "What's everyone looking at? Are we just taking in the view? I mean, it _is_ a very nice view."

[@TearyEyesAnderson]

If you want to react to more Indiana Jones, I suggest the TV series "The Young Indiana Jones Adventures", it began 3 years later 1992-1993, and ran for two years. It has Indy meeting various famous people through the early 1900's Harrison Ford also makes appearances as older Indy in some of the episodes as he reminisces about his younger adventures. Then if you want to, watch the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, that would be the chronological order as they were released.

[@SoaringTrumpet]

As great as this movie already is with Ford and Connery and the rest of the cast, River Phoenix as a young Indiana Jones makes it even that much more amazing! A fantastic actor, in fact one of the best and brightest of his generation, River was tragically taken from this world too soon.

[@nathanielseymour8108]

Enjoyed your reaction and love this movie! Most people like "Raiders" the most but this is my personal favorite. It's interesting how "Elsa" falls off the edge towards the end and soon after we hear, "Let it go!" :) Keep up the good work.

[@THOMMGB]

The four of them riding off into the sunset was quite a shot. The challenge was to find a sunset with nothing else in the picture - no trees, no poles, no fences, etc. One of the very few places on earth that met all the criteria was this guy's huge ranch in Texas. Anyway, that's what I read many years ago. I hope I remembered it right.

So much is quietly explained in the opening scene in the desert, even down to us getting to actually see Indiana's namesake as young Indy went running into the house and the dog watched him dash past. 🙂 Hate of snakes, scar on chin, affection for whips, and the dog. Perfect. It was nice having the love interest also be a semi-villain, dedicated, much like the group in the beginning, more to recovering treasures for pay than for understanding or appreciating the actual worth of them. And having a semi-villain, in Kazim of the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword, actually be a hero, though one with a different final goal than the Jones group. And the actor playing Kazim had an appropriate background for playing such a character, as the actor attended Holy Cross Seminary in Istanbul when he was younger. 🙂 Such an excellent movie and the perfect final chapter to the Indiana Jones series, by which I mean don't watch any of the later cash grabs profaning the name. Looking forward to classic Sean Connery in Dr. No soon!!!!!

[@FeaturingRob]

Hey Jen. This is my favorite of the Indiana Jones films. Mainly because it stars my two favorite actors of all time (interchangeably numbers 1 and 2). - 2:46 - That kid is the late River Phoenix, older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. He was a victim of drug abuse in the 1990s, dying at age 24(?). He was chosen to play Indy after playing Harrison Ford's son in 'The Mosquito Coast' directed by Peter Weir ('Dead Poets Society' and ''Witness' with Harrison Ford). - There is only 10 years age difference between Ford and Connery. When the idea was floated that this film would feature Indy's father, it was Spielberg who wanted Connery for the role. Mainly due to the fact that before 'Raiders', Spielberg had been lobbying the producer of the James Bond films, Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli to hire him to direct a Bond film. Since Sean Connery played 007 for six films, it was a way of paying homage to Bond, one of the inspirations for Indiana Jones. Bond was kind of Jones's dad in a weird way. - 23:24 - A few years after this came out, George Lucas created the TV series 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles '. During the series, Indy (played by Sean Patrick Flannery) met all sorts of historical figures like T.E Lawrence (of Arabia fame), Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, George Patton, George Gershwin, Winston Churchill, Pancho Villa, and many others. So, Indy coming face to face with Hitler is par for the course. - 38:18 - Indiana Jones was named after George Lucas's dog, Indiana...and he was also the inspiration for Chewbacca. Indiana was an Alaskan Malamute. - Dr. Elsa Schneider was played by Alison Doody, an Irish actress who had two big films, but most of her work has been lower budget or TV. Besides this, she made her debut as Jenny Flex in the final Roger Moore as James Bond film 'A View To A Kill', where she was also a villain (a lowkey one). I really liked her performance, but she kinda went...nowhere. I vote for 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' because I enjoyed it. It is very different, as it takes inspiration from the red scare films of the 1950s, not the 1930s serials like the main three. But there is a returning character you might like. No SPOILERS. So far there is only this other film, but there will be a new Indiana Jones movie in theaters in 2023. The cast for 'Indiana Jones 5' (no title yet) will be Ford with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, and Antonio Banderas, but it will be directed by James Mangold (The Wolverine, Logan, Kate & Leopold, Walk The Line, and Ford VS. Ferrari). John Williams will compose the score, after which he will retire at age 90. Spielberg is an Executive Producer and Lucas is not involved. Since Ford is 80 this year, it will be his last time wearing the Fedora.

30:01: The Nazi that gets ink in they eye was played by Nick Gillard -future stunt coordinator and lightsaber choreographer for the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

IRL, Harrison Ford actually has a pilot's license so he CAN fly (and probably land too 😁), and before he broke through in Hollywood, he worked as a carpenter! Donovan was played by the guy who was General Veers in another big Harrison Ford franchise, Star Wars - more precisely The Empire Strikes Back. He also acted with another Bond alumni - Roger Moore - in For Your Eyes Only. And it's funny how Sean Connery would say "[Elsa] thought she'd found the prize" as in The Highlander, he played one of the immortals who all wanted "the prize" (won't spoil further if you haven't seen it - please watch it if that's the case!)

36:43 I wonder if they used actual blood or something like it for this shot, since the water from the grail sort of "fizzes" on Connery's chest much like I remember hydrogen peroxide doing when you drip or pour it on a wound. 🤔

I would put this and Die Hard with a Vengeance as the two greatest three-quels of all time. Amazing movie and oh so fitting send off to Indiana Jones. (there is no 4th film, after all).

As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's

[@LordMarnasu]

Funny story about the tank scene. While riding the horse, Harrison couldn't keep his hat on. After several takes, he stapled it to his head.

So glad you finally watched this Jen! This has been one of my benchmark movies since 5 year old me saw it in the theater in the summer of 1989. As I've said before, I collect autographs; some of my favorite autographs that I own are from this movie - the actor who played Kazim, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword, just did a signing, his autograph is on its way to me. The actor who played Fedora, the man who crowned young Indy, signed to me: "You lost today Donald, but that doesn't mean you have to like it," which is framed in my living room. And Jeffrey Boam, the screenwriter, got this job because Steven was so impressed with his script for Interspace, which Steven produced right before this, that he hired Jeffrey to write this. Sadly, Jeffrey passed away in 2000, but I'm good friends with his son and he signed an autograph for me. Indy jumping from the horse to the tank is one of my favorite stunts in a movie. That was done by Vic Armstrong, basically Harrison's go-to stuntman. I have that signed by him and in about to get another of his from Raiders. The stage where the grail temple was built, was built for The Empire Strikes Back. It was sadly torn down and now there is a grocery store on the site, sitting next to Elstree Studios in London. Alison Doody, the leading lady in this, did her first (and really only) ever signing a year ago for our Indy autograph group on Facebook, and hers is among my collection.

Back in the 90s there was a TV show Young Indiana Jones Chronicals, with Sean Patrick Flanery, it was pretty good, Harrison Ford made a cameo in season 2, which was the last season.

My favorite Indy of the series Jenn, thanks for reacting to it :)

[@spartanical]

this one is my favorite! HF & SC played so perfectly off each other. and SC held his own as a dashing, ass-kicking archaeologist.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Great reaction, Jen. The ones that you've seen are the best of the series, there's no need to watch any others. If you want to see another action adventure film with an older Sean Connery I'd recommend, 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', which is based on a graphic novel about famous literary characters.

[@nathancline4000]

Love that movie. Another great Connery movie of more recent era is The Rock. Both show him as a great action charaacter even as an older man.

Have you seen this before, Jen? You guessed a lot of the beats along the way. I'm assuming not, but it doesn't speak as well for this movie's longevity and quality as we previously thought. But it's a popcorn movie so it doesn't need to be too labyrinthine, so what do I know? That said you did not guess Elsa's betrayal (saying "Schneider" is the bad guy sight unseen does not count). And you fell in love with her the same way we all fell in love with her. That's why the betrayal stings. And she wasn't a Nazi, she was just working with the Nazis to achieve her goals, like Belloq. It would not take much to make Indy like her. She is but a shadowy reflection of him. Also, Alison Doody, man. One of the brightest lights of the 80s. Jenny Flex, with the 80s hair, wow! Another decent low-key villain too, Walter Donovan. He chose poorly to be sure, but fits the role like a glove. What with this, The Empire Strikes Back, and his role in the best (OK, OK, maybe not best but my favourite) Bond film For Your Eyes Only he had quite the run in the 80s. But ultimately everyone remembers Elsa from this film, and not him so much. Connery and Ford do have good chemistry, and Denholm Elliott and John Rhys Davies make good comedy sidekicks (there will never be another Short Round), although overall there's a little too much sequel-itis for my liking. But this is still a *really* good movie (although the best is and will always be Raiders) and a fitting way to complete the trilogy. Because there were only three.

38:09: Jen, George Lucas’ dog was named Indiana, and was so big he sat in the front with him when he drove, giving him the idea for Chewbacca as a co-pilot. “Willie” was the Temple of Doom’s writers’ dog, and “Short Round” was from Spielberg’s dog!

[@JedHead77]

5:53: “Dr.Tyree” was actually the name of one of Harrison’s college professors.
