My wife watches Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade for the FIRST time 

This is the Ultimate Father and Son Story and one of the greatest examples on how to end a trilogy.

"We named the dog Indiana!" In the beginning sequence, there's a malamute who looks up as young Indy runs into the house. That's a tribute to George Lucas's dog Indiana, who not only was the namesake for Indiana Jones, but also was the inspiration for Chewbacca. Indy would ride in the front passenger seat of George's car, as if he was the co-pilot.

The Last Crusade is easily the best of the Indiana Jones movies: Adding “James Bond” as Indie’s dad was a stroke of genius (And who knew Connery had such great comedic timing!).

a long time ago at a convention I saw this old gentleman sitting by himself at a table. All he had was a few pictures in front of him. He looked very lonely so I went up and introduced myself. Turns out he was the actor that played Hitler is this movie. The pictures he had were of him in this movie and also his character in Empire Strikes Back. Me and a friend of mine stuck around and talked to him for a long time. I bout and auto picture of him in Empire and my friend bought a Hitler one. Such a nice sweet older gentleman, one of my fondest memories of going to conventions:P

The Holden Thomas hardman moments and then him clarifying something completely different is just gold👌🏻😂

I think the end fit Elsa’s character. She was willing to get the grail at any cost, whether it’s putting her life in jeopardy or siding with the enemy. Blinded by her pursuit of the grail compared to Indy and his father that were able to let it go.

That temple scene gives me goosebumps every time. After Indy heals his dad, Elsa tries to take the grail outside and all hell breaks loose. She betrayed Indy, sided with the Nazis, ordered to have him and his father killed, and he STILL tries to save her, and was very upset when he couldn't. What a guy. This is why we love Indy. The next part with him and his dad is the best part of the whole movie. Henry badgers Indy the entire movie, calling him "Junior" and "boy" ad nauseum to the point where it drives Indy nuts, but when Indy was falling, he was so drawn to the grail and it's power, Henry couldn't get him to give him his other hand so he calls him "Indiana" to get his attention. There was a lot of ambiguity to that. It was him trying to get his sons attention; but it was also him telling Indy that he accepts him for who he is and will no longer try to change him. He tells his son in two words that he knows that Indy will live his life the way he wants to, not the way he wants Indy to. I get chills every time. What a great film. Almost as good as Raiders.

"That's not the only thing that's gonna be Blown." I literally spat my drink out laughing. I love Holden's innuendos almost as much as I love Jen's shocked and appalled reactions to every one of them.

The exterior of the temple at the end is Petra, Jordan, at least the establishing shots. It's an actual historical site, dating back possibly as far as the 5th century BC.

-Given that Indiana Jones was created from a love of James Bond, Spielberg and Lucas didn't have anyone else other than Connery un mind to play Henry Jones, Sr. -The Nazi butler originally said "If you are a Scottish lord, then I am Jesse Owens!" Test audiences didn't get the reference so it was changed to "Mickey Mouse" in post. -The Gestapo agent with Col. Vogel boarding the blimp was series regular Pat Roach. The extended scene of the blimp turning around is his doing as well as him chasing Indy and Henry to the biplane. -Hatay was an autonomous republic that separated from French Syria in 1938 and rejoined Turkey in 1939. They never had a sultan. -There's cinematic irony to the scene where Donovan shoots Henry. The gun used is a Walther PPK, the gun Connery made famous as 007. James Glover played the villain in For Your Eyes Only. -The Grail Knight should be speaking Old French/Franco-Romantic, not a dialect of English that only came about in the 15th Century. If anything he, Indy and Elsa would have conversed in Latin. -According to the novelization, Elsa picked the most elaborate chalice on purpose to kill Donovan. That's why she's screaming when he's rapidly aging; Donovan is trying to strangle her for killing him. The Knight's words "He chose poorly" wasn't about the false grail, it was Donovan believing Elsa was on his side. -The ending was significant for Indy because not only did his father call him Indiana, it was a man who spent his life searching for the grail, often at the expense of his familial relationships, realizing his son is more important than an old cup.

An interesting fact, Harrison Ford got in a car accident in real life when he was a teenager that left him with a scar on his chin. When making the last crusade they decided to explain the scar on Indy's chin by a young Indy (River P.) accidentally whipping himself with the whip in the Lions cart on the circus train.

I love that opening sequence. It explains so much of the Indiana Jones Lore: how Indi got his scar (by hitting himself with a whip), how he got his fear for snakes (by falling into a box full of them) and how he got his hat!

Lol I love in the beginning describing the next movie in one word. “Is there another one after this?” “Yes and we will be watching it! 👀” “Why’d you say it like that?!” “They know why!” “A Refrigerator that’s why. ” I died laughing 😂 😅😂

I've never had a problem with Elsa's death. Greed, pride, even envy are powerful emotions, and they all can take over your better instincts. Plus, I've always felt, maybe I'm wrong, that the grail had a little bit of a magical spell over them, and that's why Indy turned when he was within reach of it

12:58 "Fräulein" means the same as "Miss" (young, unmarried woman). Sometimes it is used in a derogatory way, like "Missy". 21:14 That is Petra, or at least part of it. An ancient city carved into rock.

Definitely my favorite Indy film, especially because of the Young Indy prologue. It shows how he got certain things in his life (his fear of snakes, his scar and his fedora). The Young Indy prologue is the reason that George Lucas created the Young Indiana Jones series (which I love just as much 🥰🥰). Holden, I hope you & Jen consider watching Young Indiana Jones 🤞

The end is particularly meaningful. When Indiana's dad tells him to let the grail go. Because the grail had been the dad's lifelong obsession and work. And still, his son mattered most to him.

Really excited to see what James Mangold does with Indy 5. Hopefully it’s a good send off for the character.

Fun Fact: Donovan (Julian Glover) also played General Veers, leading the Empire’s attack on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, and Hitler was played by Michael Sheard, who played Admiral Ozzel, who Vader chokes early in the film. Glover and Sheard actually share one scene together.

This is definitely my favorite Indy movie. I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this one. I’m not sure if it stayed that way, but originally the guy with the fedora at the beginning was supposed to be Abner Ravenwood, Marion’s father and Indy’s mentor.

Henry- "These people are trying to kill us!" Indy- "I know Dad!" Henry- "This is a new experience for me." Indy- "Happens to me all the time." Always loved that exchange, great dialogue!

Honestly I find discussions on religion and their historical elements pretty fascinating, don't knock yourself for talking about a topic that's clearly important to ya :D

In my opinion, The Last Crusade is the best of the Indiana Jones franchise! It has everything I wanted in the film. Action, comedy, great character moments, and a great story. Plus, the father-son relationship between Indiana and his dad was one of the best parts in the film. So glad you guys finally watch this!

Everything Everywhere All at Once was incredible!!! I'd love to see you guys watch it

I love that Holden has a cheeky sense of humor. Keep making your jokes. Jen loves them deep down inside. Bravo and well played.

Fun fact: It was a hot day when they were doing the blimp scene. Since they were only filming Indy and his dad fron the waist up, Sean Connery decided to do the scene without his pants, and Harrison Ford followed. So they're doing the entire blimp scene in their underwear!

Is it safe to say that Elsa's cause of death was because she refused to "Let it Go?" Cause she was holding onto that Grail for dear life.😅

*dooku voice* “I’ve been looking forward to this”

I hope you show your Wife Back to the Future Part 3 at some point and complete that trilogy. I'm sure many of us would love to see her reaction and find out which of three movies is her favourite.

I love how Jen is starting to do the "Holden stare" now XD Also, good luck on the Corridor application!

Fun fact, I’m pretty sure the guy at 19:58 who recoils from the periscope is Nick Gillard who did all the stunt and lightsaber choreography for the Star Wars prequels

Outside of just being a fantastic movie, I think Holden inparticular will love Everything Everywhere All At Once for the filmmaking. They were able to do a lot with relatively a small team.

21:09 "Is this a set, or the real thing?" - Yep, that's real Jen. It's the lost city of Petra. Located amid rugged desert canyons and mountains in what is now the southwestern corner of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Petra was once a thriving trading center and the capital of the Nabataean empire between 400 B.C. and A.D. 106.

They cut out my favorite quote. After Henry Sr. scared all the birds to fly into the plane. "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. 'Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky'."

Perfect Film and great Reaction. Please dont tell Jenn anything about 4, so she can find out for herself. I think its so underrated. I really like it. :)

My favorite Indy! And I love the Grail Theme. Saddened that John Williams is retiring but he's 90... The man deserves rest after giving us so, so much.

I’ve been watching this channel for two years, and I don’t think you have made a bad video. I have loved everything you’ve done

That stunt of Indy jumping from the horse onto the tank is still one of the greatest film stunts of all time.

Beyond a doubt, my favorite movie of the series! It such a direct good vs evil story with great chemistry between Ford and Connery. I also loved how you recognized River Phoenix!

21:08 - Yes, that's a real place! It's called Petra and it's located in Jordan :)

I worked in the theater when this came out. Easily my favorite of the original three (and favorite, pending the fifth’s release!). Sean Connery was perfect casting as his dad, the story was fantastic, the banter between father and son is top notch!

This is my favorite of the trilogy. My favorite part is the way Henry Jones Sr. calls his son Indiana. The whole movie he calls him Junior and doesnt really respect him and his efforts so when he calls him Indiana it's a big moment and I've always loved the way Sean Connery delivered that line.

The reason wedging the rock into the barrel works is because hitting the rock is enough to detonate the high explosive shell (they explode on the first thing they hit).

Holdens humor cracks me up every time 🤣

This is my favourite movie of all time! All the rats in Venice were specifically bred to prevent spread of disease. The tank for most of the scenes when it was moving was a shell on top of a jeep and the temple at the end is a real place! It's called Al Khazneh in Jordan.

My Grandfather that raised me was a Baptist Minister. He was a big movie watcher he introduced me to Indiana and Star Wars. I think of him everytime i watch this one. This is my favorite.

This is still my absolute favorite of all the Indiana Jones films. The story really hits hard for me, I don't even know why.

Thanks for featuring my comment Jen and Holden! Looking forward to the Everything Everywhere All at Once reaction.

Holden's sexual references and Jen looking at him with annoyance kills me everytime. RIP Sean Connery

The biggest glow up of all since I started watching the channel is Holden's confidence in innuendos

Being a scientist (and it's not necessary to be a scientist), the only part that I have to scoff at in this film is exploring the catacombs filled with petroleum in Venice. They light up a lighter in an underground cavern full of petroleum and petroleum VAPOR? In reality: instant massive explosion that probably would have destroyed at least a few blocks in Venice. Plus, even though there is no explosion, there are a few times in the catacombs when burning embers from the flaming rag clearly drop into the 'petroleum' with no unfortunate effects whatsoever.

My first introduction to Indiana Jones actually occurred late at night in maybe '93 or '94 when I was 4 or 5 years old (although I didn't realize this until several years later). Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade had just started playing on TV and I started watching it with the rest of the family. My brother and I kept asking our parents what was going on as we were too young to understand all the adventure craziness going on. When my mom first said the were looking for the Holy Grail, I misheard her and thought they were looking for a holy "grill", like the one in our front yard dad cooked stuff on, on some altar in a church somewhere. It wasn't until near the end that mom clarified that it was a cup they were looking for, which I thought was incredibly weird. Why would you call a cup something other than a cup? Very strange. I still have no idea why my parents listened to our pleas to let us stay up that late to see the rest. It was some years later when we were at Disneyland and saw the spectacular stunt reenactment show that I got hooked into the movies. Dad finally showed Raiders for us and I kept wanting to know when they were going to get to the parts in the stunt reenactments. I didn't think they were as cool on the TV but I still enjoyed it a lot. My dad was himself an archaeologist who had gone on digs in Israel in the 90s and would send us post cards of stuff he had found while over there. He even planted ancient coins in our backyard and gave us a metal detector for Christmas so we could go find them (some are still buried there). So I guess because of all that I developed a personal connection with Indiana Jones and "Raiders" in that it was fun to go treasure hunting and fight bad guys along the way. That thrill of finding something hidden and the danger that can go along with it. My dad, and by direct extension Indiana Jones, epitomized all of that for me.

Inside the temple at the end was a set, however the outside was actually carved out years ago, and Spielberg found it when looking for filming locations, however the carving of the outside has no entrance, they just made a set of the “inside” of it, when in real life you can’t enter it

"No ticket" was also Silent Bob's only line in Dogma after throwing the angels out of the train.

The "entrance" to the Grail's cave is an actual place in Petra, Jordan. I think the exterior was actually restored specifically for this movie.

"Fly yes, land, no." Anyone can land a plane, all you have to do is fly down . . .

This is my favorite Indiana Jones Movie. It was one that my dad showed me and one that we watched together often. Now that my father has passed, watching this film helps to remember him and makes me feel closer to him now that he’s gone.

21:15 that is Petra, a real historical site in Jordan. It was build around two millennia ago, has been a UNESCO site since 1985 and one of the seven wonders of the world since 2007. The only way to enter the city is by foot or on horseback.

Fun fact: when young Indy cracks the whip for the first time, inside the train, and cuts himself, that was a clever way to explain the real scar that Harrison Ford has on his chin.

The exterior of that building where Wife asks "is that a set," is part of the ancient city of Petra.

That scene with young Indy cutting his chin with the whip is how they worked in Ford's real life chin scar.

About the girl at the end, it's not that she is after money or she is kinda dumb, it's about the power of corruption of the grail, she became obsessed by it, as Idiana was, he saw her fall and yet tried to catch the grail too. This movie has a particular place in my heart because Indiana's dad is basically my dad, same hat, same beard, same glasses, he is a professor, difficult to impress and try to hide his emotions all the time (I think the only time I saw him cry is when we buried our dog) but still, I know he loves us. The 2 times Indiana fall and his dad open his heart to him get me every time ❤

I am a Boy Scout and I have just gotten back from a 2 week Mountain and rock climbing trip in Maine so that’s why I am a bit late to this. So to Jens question asking if that’s what Boy Scouts do. Yes. Yes we do. The train hopping and everything!

Fun fact: Adolf HItler in this film was played by actor Michael Sheard, and ALSO as the submarine captain in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and ALSO as Admiral Ozzel in the Empire Strikes Back (the first office that Vader chokes to death in the film).

Fun Fact: The Nazi in the tank who got ink in his eye was Nick Gillard, stunt coordinator for the Star Wars prequels.

Donovan, who ‘chose poorly’, is played by Julian Glover. He was Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thrones, and Hagrid’s spider Aragog in Harry Potter

Take a shot every time Holden says “jeez” 😂😂 no disrespect. Love the videos.

I remember watching this as a kid. When I saw Allison Doody as Elsa, I no longer liked playing with Legos. What a stunning woman.

Oh I have a feeling Jen is going to love this!

"Is this a set or is this the real thing?" - The exterior shots for the location in the Canyon of the Crescent Moon are Al Khazneh, a real site.

You mentioned the Rock, my very first tattoo is the barcode I clipped of the back of a print of the rock, as I was working at a movie theater at the time.

This is my favorite, for the father-son element. My Dad and I loved watching these movies together, and it is a good memory I have of him. Also- the basis of the 4th movie is actually the most plausible/least mythological, if you think about it from a certain point of view... (but that doesn't make it great).

Ok, so I originally came to this channel for the reactions. However, I'm now here for all of Holden's innuendo and euphemisms. But ALSO every time Jen cries out "Holden Thomas Hardman." 😂😂😂 It's always a great chuckle.

at 20:00 the nazy who gets hit is Nick Gillard a stunt coordinator who trained and chrorographed the lightsaber fights in the star wars prequels.

Dr. Schneider was played by Irish actress Alison Doody (yes her last name is Doody, hey man it's Irish). Ironically, before she acted next to Sean Connery here she was a 'Bond girl' named Jenny Flex in the 1985 James Bond film 'A View to a Kill', next to Roger Moore and Christopher Walken.

I started watching your channel when you first started the MCU journey during Covid and now with the dirty jokes, your channel is frickin hilarious LOL great reaction video as always!

This is easily my favorite Indiana Jones movie, such a great time. Though I'd have to say Marion was the better character in Raiders compared to Elsa, but Elsa wasn't bad at all. Willie was a train wreck; I absolutely hated Temple. And since I haven't seen anyone drop this yet, that temple was filmed on location in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. At one point I know they offered tours of the site but I don't know if that's still a thing. You guys should do the Young Indiana Jones tv show before moving onto that not 4th movie in the franchise.

I don't know which one I look forward to more ... Holden and Jenn reacting to the movie, or Holden's recurring double entendre. ;)

I love Elsa’s death at the end, it shows anyone can get corrupted by greed - even Indiana

I'd love to see you two react to "Everything Everywhere All At Once" I was blown away by how much I enjoyed that film, definitely worth a watch!

My wife and I were watching something.. flipping through channels years ago.. combo of Star Wars and this.. and she was making a frisky joke... looked at me and giggled.. in her best Sean Connery voice.. I love your Shexy Shaber.. ahh.. fun times

13:41 His rectum! HOLDEN, YOU MADE ME SPIT OUT MY SODA!!! HAHAHAHA

Harrison Ford and Sean Connery were actually close enough in age to be brothers. The actors playing Walter Donovan and Adolph Hitler played Imperial officers in The Empire Strikes Back. There are also a series of TV movies called "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", starring Sean Patrick Flannery

For that Scene with the Rats in Venice, they actually used over 10.000 trained Rats to make it more believable

Hey @holdenhardman , at the very beginning, the scene where young indie swings around on the swing arm of a water tower. That was a movie prop built on that rail line that’s still there to this day. They never tore it down and it’s a tourist attraction lol

16:15 That actor is Michael Sheard and has played Hitler a few times and was Admiral Ozzel in the Empire Strikes Back and is best known in the UK for playing Mr Bronson in Grange Hill and for his numerous appearances in Doctor Who and Auf Wiedersehen Pet. 6:26 Julian Glover was also in Empire Strikes Back as General Veers and also appeared in Doctor Who and recently Game of Thrones.

"Is that a set?" It's Rose Red Petra in the southwestern desert of Jordan. A famous archaeological site from around 300 BC and capital of the Nabatean Kingdom.

Fräulein is the the german equivalent to "Miss". However it ceased to be used in the 1970's because it is a diminuitive of "Frau" which means "Mrs." or "woman" depending on the context . And there is no such diminuitve for unmarried men, and it was therfore rightly considered sexist.

I'm so glad you guys finally watch the LAST Indiana Jones film. It was so nice to get to see Jen's reaction to this FINAL installment to the series. Really great to have another TRILOGY all wrapped up. Can't wait for the next reaction series you guys move onto now that this one is COMPLETE.

In case y'all didn't know, the actor that plays Donovan is the actor that plays maester pycelle in game of thrones.

No. 1 film of 1989 and Oscar winner for Sound Effects Editing. The opening scene with the late, great River Phoenix as young indy inspired "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" TV series (28 episodes and 4 mini-movies). The complete series is available on Paramount Plus. Seeing this at age 9 was an amazing experience. Announced as the final chapter (at the time) and nobody couldn't miss it for the world. I loved it for being a 'father and son' story within the epic adventure.

Venice is so crowded in the film, because they filmed this in August 1988, at a time when it was full of tourists.

The tank is sitting at Hollywood Studios. There's also some trucks from this movie there too.

I swear, Jen always has the best shirts. The impractical jokers shirt and now the Viking Ivan the Boneless shirt.

This and top gun were my favorite movies as a child. I. 39 years old now so these really were my childhood! Love the my wife watches series! Love it guys keep it up!!!

3:15 Past Boy Scout here, we absolutely do dumb stuff like this. Usually we do something with a bit more of a purpose, i.e camping, or tying knots. But climbing up a rocky mound is a good time too.

So glad he could point out the effin’ Vilhelm scream… again.

The grail temple is the treasury in Petra!

Fun fact. Harison Ford actually was a carpenter when George Lucas cast him in American Graffiti. And you will see Marion again in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Definitely my favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. The buildup and atmosphere of the final act are amazing!
