Reacting to Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, and to the insect that got in Belloq's mouth! 

John Rhys-Davies was also in a James Bond film; The Living Daylights is a 1987! That's 3 of cinema's greatest franchise!

@@TheBernito2 he also played Professor Arturo on "Sliders"

He also was Thor in the 1990s Hulk cartoon

@@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328 I didn't know about that I know that he did the voice of Macbeth in "Gargoyles" however

He’s been in *everything*. 274 acting credits on IMDB, and 15 “upcoming projects.”

Always found her sexy as hell,,,still do ,,, She was great in Starman also ....i was Born in 1974.

I met her at a con in Pittsburgh a couple years ago...she's super sweet and signed my original Raiders poster. Since she was sitting next to Lea Thompson I got to chat with her a bit too.

Yes i thought she would become a huge star.

@@jackprescott9652 what do you consider a big star karen allen was as big of a star as you can get in Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s and even 1990s I bet you don't even know half the big movies that karen allen stared in or the big stars karen allen worked with so I will list just some karen allen stared in the movie animal house karen allen was the supporting lead in shoot the moon with Diana Keating and Albert Finney karen allen was the female lead in crusing with al pacino she was the female lead in starman with Jeff bridges and the female lead in scrooged with bill Murray and that's just some of her movies I am not going make a list everything or tell you karen allen was mainly first a Broadway actress and a Hollywood actress second and still had a massive movie career over most actresses who only had a Hollywood movie career you could have looked up this information before you spoke I mean most people would know this information because everybody on the planet seen all of karen Allen's movies without looking it up what bothers me more about people like you is Carrie fisher who played the female lead princess Leia in 3 star wars movies had no career after star wars she did nothing that's a fact I can list a ton of actors who's careers when nowhere after big movie franchises hits mark hamel who played luke Skywalker the lead in star was had no career neither did the two indiana Jones girls Kate capshaw and Alison doody what's there excuse for having no careers oh and karen allen played marion ravenwood in two movies raiders of the lost ark and indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal skull and made her a icon and legend

@@dorisbove2210 Yes i agre, but she never got the respect she deserves. I think she would be like Susan Sarandon or Diane Keaton, but let face it, she´s not.

The attention to detail that *used to* go into movie making.....

Marion Ravenwood was 28 yrs old in the story when Indiana Jones met back up with her... Indiana was somwhere between 38-42.... Karen Allen was 28 yrs during the audition & pre-production, and she was 29 yrs old at the Raiders Premiere in 1981 and Harrison Ford was 39... putting Marion's character's age at 18 yrs old retroactively to the story of them having a secret affair... Google it

To add.... Marion's Character was the daughter of Indiana Jones' mentor, who also happened to be a Professor of Archeology and a fellow Swashbuckling, Treasure seaking, Artifacts collecting adventurer as well named Abner Ravenwood... and he was a completely different type of Tenured Professor than Indiana Jones' father was... After many years of accompanying Abner on many different globe-trotting adventures and dangerous international scenarios and intrigue, when Indiana & Abner came back to the U.S.A, Marion was now 18 yrs old and all grown up and Indiana became increasingly attracted to her, inspite of his mentor's warning of never getting too personal or involved with his daughter... because both Abner & Indiana Jones were kinda Scoundrels... Abner knew he didn't want Marion to end up with someone just like him in anyway... but it turns out, Nature is smarter than people think... and it caused a big falling out between the Jones' and the Ravenwood families and Marion was outcasted because of her involvement with Indiana Jones, and Indiana himself was no longer on good speaking terms with his Father for bringing shame to the family name... and Indiana moved away and moved on to many many different adventures throughout the years... until that day after he got back from Peru and the Army intelligence came to the university to speak with him and asked him about Abner Ravenwood and his level of involvement and collaboration he once had with him, and ask him to re-establish contact with him because Abner was recently mentioned in a Secret Nazi Communication Cabled Transmission about the lost city of Tanis in Egypt, which was one of the last possible Ancient city resting places that could've housed the lost Ark of The Covenant... hense... Raiders of the Lost ARK 👍

@@ricktoledo8424 *Swashbuckling

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy thanks👍I fixed it lol 🤣

I think I'll have the soup.

It looked a bit too rare.

Yummy yummy Ice Cream!

They saved all the really gross foods for the sequel.

@@jean-paulaudette9246 What's "Snake Surprise"?

True, originally he was going to do some complicated move to defeat the swordsman but he was so sick he suggested "what if I just shoot him?"

@@pdegan2814 the scenes with them fighting exist on the DVD extras

and movies history was made,

Everyone on stage was sick from local food, except Spielberg (he bring his own food in cans).

I heard it was because he had a bad back. There was supposed to be a whip and sword fight but Harrison Ford's back was acting up and they improvised the shooting scene.

@Not Sure I always assumed it was supposed to be Toht, no?

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy yes, it was supposed to be Toht, but apparently Ronald Lacey wasn't available for some reason, so Muren filled in.

Whew It Makes Sense They Did Aliens For Film 4 !!!!!!!!!!! cause its set in the 50s, russians were obsessed with the ufo conspiracies, and the time was filled with it. So yeah, Kingdom IS necessary!

25:35 There used to be a fun site somewhere on the Internet where people came up with all the other things that were kept in that warehouse. I think that's how the SCP Foundation thing got started.

In this movie it's also implies the reason why the US military is so victorious and unstoppable is due towards them possessing the ark

He also starred in not without my daughter as the father. His performance is amazing.

@@wedgeantilles4712 And he's the husband in Frida, biopic about artist Frida Kahlo

Did they intentionally snip frames out? This was filmed in the 80's to I'm pretty sure the fly just took off, and it's natural speed was too quick to be picked up by the low frame rates cameras had back then.

@@tomspiegel5322 No, they didn't - it would be recognizable. You're right, that fly just flew away between frames.

The man who played Sapito would go on to play Doctor Octopus.

@@jbrisby the man who played Sallah would go on to play Gimli in Lord of the rings.

The man who played Major Eaton, Army Intelligence (the "top men" guy) played Porkins in Star Wars.

The Nazi who gets run over by the truck is Paul ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Hogan.

@@jbrisby Yep. This was his first role, I think. Small world.

This is actually true. :) I went to college with a woman who was studying archaeology, and had been on a dig. They do a lot of digging with trowels and toothpicks and toothbrushs, so they don't accidentally damage rare and fragile artifacts. It's careful and painstaking work. She said, as much as they love what they do, every archaeologist wished it was more like Indiana Jones. :)

@@thomashiggins9320 I've heard one movie reviewer point out that the Indiana Jones movies are the biggest misrepresentation of a job title (archaeology) in movie history.

@@jimdigitalvideo LoL! That's certainly true. Another profession that usually gets badly misrepresented is newspaper journalism. Most portrayals of reporters and the work they do is just painful. :)

These movies are the only reason I even took an archaeology course.

Yea, so true

Every time I go to my storage unit, I hum the Indiana Jones theme. Lol

The Ark was just another random relic lost in the vast government bureaucracy.

ohh, nohw i gt iet

The SCP foundation gives them useless stuff to keep them happy :D

Oh, just wait another 21 years... 😉

RU-vidrs aren't the brightest bulbs in the shed, are they?

a Prototype Warehouse 13

How they can "use" a thing like that?

@@jackprescott9652 Personally I'd like to see it unleashed in Washington DC.

True but Marion (Karen Allen) is hot!

I believe those scenes were shot in Hawaii.

This movie was shot way before blue screen was invented

If they wanted to insert an effect like that, it would have been a matte painting or rear projection, not blue screen.

@@marky1919 star wars, mary poppins and others disagree with you

@@sntxrrr Star Wars? You mean the film the glorified matte painting because that's all they used?

Aditionally, Pat Roach, the big guy fighting Indy on the tarmac , is in all three of the Indiana Jones movies. That’s right, you heard me right, all THREE. In Temple, he fights Indy again in the caves, and in Crusade, I’m pretty sure he takes a pretty high nosedive out a window (I think that info is pretty spoiler free).

@@MrDarkwing78 Yeah I noticed. he's the baldy Super Nazi too getting sliced in the propeller.

Wasnt that the knees bees about 20 years ago or so? Or maybe it was a european fling

@@mattiaswibom4788 I know that harem pants were big for a while during the late 1920s/early '30's. Given that this is set just prior to WW2, it makes sense Marion would still have a pair.

Um, don't the crotches on harem pants go down several inches, à la the ones MC Hammer used to wear?

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy Those are 'parachute pants', apparently. They are technically harem pants, yes, but they're a specific type that was really only fashionable for a year or two.

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy Raiders of the Lost Ark is suppose to take place in the 1930's, so there probably some differences in style in the 50 intervening years. Of course they could have used something different.

I think she said “route.” I’m disappointed I can’t recognize her accent, and now I feel horrible 😢

You're querying the common IQ of people pointing out actors they may like in other films, while at the same time comparing unique human individuals to that of generic lifeless hamburgers served from a soulless corporation. Yeah... good on ya.

@@L3onOfKings So you're stupid too huh? Got it.

These days I watch most movies with the subtitles on. There are quite a few instances where I thought characters said one thing, and the subtitles reveal they said something different.

Subtitles are awesome in that respect. Lack of subtitles are the reason why people talking about the bad guy in No Country For Old Men refer to him as "Sugar", when his name is "Chigurh".

Frank Welker. He is a very talented and prolific. voice actor, playing everything from Megatron in the Transformers cartoons, to the Santa's Little Helper on The Simpsons.

@@Rocket1377 Um, hello, also Fred from Scooby-Doo and Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget?

Pat Roach, who played the giant German Indy fights at the airfield, also played one of Toht's thugs when they attack Marion in her bar. He also plays a character Indy fights in Temple of Doom. Sadly, his role in Last Crusade was cut down to only a cameo.

The big guy who got killed by the propeller was Pat Roach who was in the first three films

Yeah George Lucas wrote the story but Lawrence Kasdan wrote the movie itself. Talented man who was also responsible for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Thanks to Lucas not being involved in the scripts, there’s no bland/terrible dialogue.

@@calvinkopp1735 Lucas also thankfully chose to stay clear of the director's chair in Raiders, reasons for which it would be telling to quote the man himself: "That's why Steven directed this one and not me. I didn't want to sit on a sound stage with a thousand snakes for a week, I'm too lazy a guy for that."

Thankfully it was mostly Spielberg. Lucas wanted to have the setting be a haunted house. When Spielberg gave up and let Lucas have control, we got crystal skull.

Please take care of yourself and be strong. You can always email me or write to me on Insta.

@@DuaffyMS ❤️

The biggest surprise is that that's unusually wise of the government. Rather than trying to research it, use it or otherwise utilize it in some way, they just lock it away next to the UFO parts and Elvis.

@@captin3149 That's not wisdom, it's bureaucracy.

Yes. Instead of being buried by a sandstorm it's buried by paperwork.

Its not irony, it was intended. Who the hell is gonna break into a US army base post WWII, find the warehouse, sort through 1940s army bureaucracy, to try to find one specific box in a giant ass warehouse full of equally inconspicuous boxes? Even the US Army was smart enough to say "Find God in a Box? You put that shit somewhere no one will find it".

@@SnuggsMcDuff Err, some Russian lady with a bowl hair cut, apparently... (albeit for another box)

Steven Soderbergh made a fan-cut of Raiders in Black & White. Looks gorgeous.

politicians? bahaha

Wow, I had to scroll a long way to find this comment. I figured someone must have pointed it out, but I’m surprised I haven’t found half a dozen comments on this already!

Been a while since I’ve heard but I was always told it was an impromptu moment. He wasn’t feeling well and as a joke pulled his gun and shot the guy and he played along.

@@Cherokee9898 He definitely wasn’t well, but i don’t remember hearing that he did it as a joke and they played along

And it was inspired by a similar scene in Citizen Kane.

That's also Alfred Molina (Doc Ock) as the "Throw me the idol" guy who betrays him at the beginning in his first movie role.

Alfred Molina, Indy's assistant in the opening played Doc Oct in Spider-Man 2.

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy That's also William Hootkins (Red Six/Porkins in Star Wars) as the "We have top men working on it." guy (Major Eaton). He was also Lt. Eckhardt in Batman (1989).

@@thegorn68 Yep.

@@MichaelScheele I just said that... 🤔

He’s also in Willow.

The bulk of his work in "Last Crusade" was cut, however...

Yhup. (*mC2F 👀🤝), Auf Weidershein, 🕯️Pat Roach 🙏

An early episode of The X-Files ended with a scene that was nearly an exact copy of the Ark storage scene.

Now you’re correct with the genres, but the best are parts 3 and 5 respectively

Me too...

This is one of the most perfect movies ever made. The cast, the setting, the action, it's all just perfect.

Also, if you look on the side of the Bi-plane at the start there’s a nice Star Wars reference. Plus the club at the start of Temple of Doom is ‘Club Obi Wan’.

You are so kind, thank you!!! :)

@@DuaffyMS well, it is all because i find you amazing
