Jut watched it again a couple of nights ago. Great movie. Especially when the fools opened it up. Also the scene where he shoots the guy who brought a sword to the gunfight (inspiration for Ash?).

It turns out that Harrison Ford was too sick with dysintery that day to shoot the fight they actually choreographed. At a meeting that morning, Ford says to Spielberg something like, "It's too bad I just can't shoot the guy." The light bulbs come on. "Why not?" Instant classic scene! |

I have to agree. Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best action/adventure movies ever made. It was made before all the PC stuff infected our cinema. Good acting. Good story. It's one of those rare movies that was filmed so well that it could have been made this year.

Raiders rule!
Temple of Doom was kinda odd. Last Crusade was cool. I especially liked the part when they were at the entrance to the ancient city of Petra. Way cool! [img]http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/getaways/021199/art/dest11pix1.jpg[/img] |

Yes Raiders rocks. By far my favorite movie ever. When my Dad [i]finally[/i] bought a VCR it was the only tape we had for a long time, so I watched over and over. I bet I've seen it 500 times.

Although I agree that Temple is the weakest of the three, it has one of the coolest opening sequences in a movie. It goes straight along from the scene in the nightclub all the way to them finally landing in the rubber raft (if I remember it correctly).

I like all of the movies in the INdianna Jones series. The lead actor in the Young Indianna Jones TV series died from a drug overdose in front of a nightclub in Hollyweird, Calif. about 5 or 6 years ago.

The Actor who died is River Phoenix, the actor who portrayed the young Indy in "The Last Crusade." Sean Patrick Flannery was the star of "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" and he is alive and well if not tremendously successful. River Phoenix was the brother of Joaquin Phoenix of "Gladiator" and "Signs." |

I liked it because I was really heavy into older S&W large frame guns at the time. I also appreciated that it didn't have a one word title. It seemed like every previous blockbuster movie after "Jaws" had just a one word title, and I just found it annoying.
Raiders of the Lost Ark brought back some of the real movie making to Hollywood. Ross |

Raiders and Crusade both are great, Temple not so much.
For those of you who are hidden-message buffs: Check out the neon sign outside the club that Indy comes out of in Temple of Doom. The club name is "Obi Wan". |

Which one had Kate Capshaw in it? She has got to be the worst actor I've ever seen. Shitty movie, also. They should have stopped after the first one.

A buddy of mine has a theory on that movie. If you take Indy out of it, nothing changes. The Nazis find the Ark and die. Kinda sucked when he pointed that out to me.

Raiders and the whole Indy series is fairly top notch.
But a couple questions: 1. Does anyone know what the symbolism is of each movie starting off focused on a mountain / mountain formation of a similar shape? 2. Any word on the "new" Indiana Jones movie? My theory: It will be a "bust" as its outside of the "zone" the director/producers created for the first three. (Sort of like the Starwars prequel nightmares, or the upcoming T3 failure). 3. |

StarWars II (er PlanetWars, as very little of it occurred in space), was better about that... As for T3, it is certainly odd timing... 2 movies about artificially intelligent machines taking over the world in 1 year... Piggyback??? |

Quoted: A buddy of mine has a theory on that movie. If you take Indy out of it, nothing changes. The Nazis find the Ark and die. Kinda sucked when he pointed that out to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOT TRUE!! Indy was the one that found the Ark! The Germans "ARE DIGGING IN THE WRONG PLACE". Tell your buddy he is full of crap. Au contraire! The buddy is not full of crap. You are! Without Indiana Jones to save her, Marrion Ravenwood would have lost the real headpiece to the staff of ra to the Nazi's that night at her bar, and thus, the Nazis wouldn't have been digging in the wrong place. Remember, they only got the location wrong because they used the imprint burned into the Nazi guy's hand to make a duplicate headpiece, which did not include an inscription from the other side of the headpiece about the height of the staff, which said "and take back one Kaddam to honor the Hebrew god whose ark this is." So the buddy is correct. Take out Indy, and nothing changes. The Nazi's find the Ark and die. (The only difference, as it turns out, is that by way of Indy's involvement the Ark ends up in Hangar 18). |

When no one on the island reports back, they would have investigated, found the Ark and the film and know better than to open it again. They would then still be in possession of the Ark. |

HOWEVER, wasn't it Indy who led the Nazis to Marrion Ravenwood? Remember the spy on the plane? So couldn't you theorize that without Indy the nazis would have never found the headpiece to the staff of ra and therefore never found the Ark? Did I miss anything? Now I'm feeling gunshy. |

Check and MATE! Because of the intercepted cable, the US knew the Nazis were looking for Abner Ravenwood, so they contacted his star student, Indy Jones for info. Because of he was Ravenwood's protoge, he knew of Ravenwood's whereabouts and that of Marion, his illicit relationship with whom led to the "falling out" he had with his mentor. The Nazis knew Indy was his star student too, so were keeping an eye on him, and followed him to Nepal. It is a great great script. |

So couldn't you theorize that without Indy the nazis would have never found the headpiece to the staff of ra and therefore never found the Ark? Did I miss anything? Now I'm feeling gunshy. Game, set, and match... I stand humbled by your response. (Probably because I watched this movie 1000 times on HBO growing up, and always missed the first 5 minutes). But you're right... Indy was the link that led the Nazi's to Marrion Ravenwood. (They didn't enen know Abner was dead). Perhaps they would have found her perhaps not. As for the comment above about the opening of the Ark being filmed, remember that the film would have cut out before the carnage because the Ark burned out the power generator. Also, I'm not sure, but I think I remember all the bodies and all the film equipment, lights, etc., being sucked up into the vortex in the sky so that when it shows the lid of the Ark falling down and sealing everything, there's nothing but Indy and Marrion left. (BTW, bonus points if anyone can identify the biblical reference that led Indy to tell Marrion to close her eyes and not look while they opened the Ark). |
