It happened at a Disney fan convention, FYI.

I'm very happy these two have great respect for each other. I would have loved to been on set with Harrison Ford for all that time. Harrison Ford my favorite actor of all time. Will be a sad day when he passes

Harrison Ford was genuinely happy to see him too

Short round is also Data on the Goonies

they really should put him in the new indy movie coming out now. maybe a bit part like 'i have to visit an old friend who knows more about this map"

Now that you've been introduced to Short Round, you can appreciate his work as an adult in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Should def be next on your watchlist.

Oscars including HIS Oscar for best supporting actor! I've been so happy for him! I love that Harrison Ford presented the best picture award.

​@@l34CoNCreepy If he doesn't have a part in that, it is a HUGE wasted opportunity

I didn't realize that was him until after I saw the movie. I didn't recognize Jamie Lee Curtis either.

Agreed. It’s funny

You chose poorly

I still think it's crazy that Connery was only a few years older than Ford. I still choke up a little when he says "I thought I'd lost you boy".

And it was scripted by a famous play writer too! Tom Stoppard.

Yes!!!! Last Crusade is my favorite in the series!

That's cool.

Kate Capshaw had done 3 movies before Temple of Doom.

Ahh, I wanted to post something about Ke Huy Quan at Oscars and their reunion there. But didn't think about The Goonies (never saw it at the time or since). I didn't notice a moment of recognition during this reaction if they did.

I hope short round is in the new Indy. I miss him

Hooray for Quan!

@@multimediumsink9426 he’s in the next Loki series on Disney

I still cannot decide if I like Short Round or Data the most. Short Round was absolute clutch the entire movie, but Data was so versatile and inventive, they are both so amazing. And Ke plays them both so perfectly.

When I was in middle school, a friend of mine had a brown fedora and a whip and I had my grandpa's old leather jacket from WWII (he was a tail-gunner in the AF). We rented a camera and went into the overgrown barranca that ran along one edge of our neighborhood (and which had a rope swing at one point where you could swing across the gap to the other side). Once you climbed down into the barranca, you couldn't see houses or civilization anymore. It was just trees in every direction on either side of the gully and looked close enough to "South America, 1936" for our purposes, so we filmed our own shot-by-shot version of the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (I even story-boarded it before we started so we had all the shots planned before we got there and could move as quickly as possible, hoping to maximize our limited time with the camera). I played Indy (with drawn on facial stubble, of course, because middle school) and the guy who pulls the dart out of the tree and says, "Hovitos. Fresh. Three days. They're following us." My friend's little brother made a cameo as the guy who says, "If they were following us, we'd be dead already." My friend -- wearing his dad's beige bathrobe and one of his mom's weird fluffy, brimless hats -- played the native guide who gets scared by the carvings they uncover on the way to the temple (for which we used a styrofoam Santa Claus face decoration that we stuck to a wall and covered with foliage) and the guy who tries to shoot Indy but gets his hand whipped. The whip stuff was interesting to film without actually hurting each other but we pulled it off with some sneaky quick cuts. And one of my favorite shots we got was me as Indy snapping the whip up into a tree then quickly cutting to me swinging across the barranca on the rope swing before jumping to another cut of me landing on the other side. That was one of the few areas where we strayed from the shot-by-shot formula... but it was super worth it. The shot's kinda goofy, tbh, but was def a crowd-pleaser amongst our friends and classmates. And, honestly, as a kid playing around with movie-making, I was pretty proud of the smooth timing on my edits -- editing accomplished using two VCRs hooked together, btw; not exactly ideal -- that made the swing feel fluid instead of like three separate shots. Unfortunately, we ran out of time with the camera (and money to rent it again bc, y'all, video cameras were EXPENSIVE in the days before digital cameras and cellphones), so we had to stop before we got to all the big temple and idol stuff (which was a bummer too because we had this really funny little statue to use for the idol and never got to break it out). Still, great times! And we ended up using the footage in another video project we did years later in high school, in which our "Indiana Jones" character reaches the place where the idol is supposed to be and instead finds a harmonica. He shrugs and tosses it over his shoulder into the woods. Then we cut to a few hundred years later and a basic-cable TV show called "Archaeology Today!" in a which a panel of 8 scientists -- all played by the two of us in various costumes and makeup -- debate the origin of this weird "artifact" (the harmonica) that was discovered in (because it's the far future) the Amazon desert basin (one of our scientists even mocks the idea that there was ever water in the Amazon as "madness"). They each present (and argue over) theories of what this artifact might be, what it might've been used for, etc. One guy presents a theory (complete with artist renderings) that it's the fossilized skeleton of a tiny dinosaur he named "Hohnersaurus." Another guy thinks it was a calendar of some sort and they must've marked the passage of time by putting sticks in the holes to indicate the current day. We even cut to a correspondent "on location" at a dig in the Amazon (which was actually my friend's yard that was grass and foliage free at the time as it was in the midst of being re-landscaped) and he related his own theories about how the number of holes might be related to the number of fingers the tribe who created the artifact had and, therefore, it must be related to counting or have something to do with a basic economy (all while my friend's brother, in a cowboy hat, dug a hole in the dirt behind him). By the end, the least educated member of this panel of scientists and professors -- Dr. W. Axl Rose of Thomas Dewey High -- got bored listening to everybody argue and just started ignoring the debate, absent-mindedly fidgeting with the object, and eventually blowing into it randomly, accidentally discovering it's true nature. Many years later, I became a Game Designer at Activision studios in Los Angeles. Two of the guys I worked with there -- Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala -- were two of the kids who famously filmed their own shot-by-shot remake of "Raiders" IN ITS ENTIRETY over 14 years (which is hilarious when you see them changing age and size from scene to scene), including setting Eric's mom's basement on fire to film the fight scene at Marion's bar and all of them working over a summer or two to buy a truck they could destroy for the chases with the Nazis and whatnot. You may have seen something about these guys -- there's a book and a documentary about them now, both called "Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made," and I believe the doc is streaming on Netflix (or it was at one point; I've never seen the doc so don't know if it's still there). Anyway, at the time we were all at Activision (roughly 1995-2000), we had occasional movie nights on the big screens in the meeting rooms after work and, one night, Chris -- who plays Indy in their adaptation -- brought in their version of the movie after having told us about it for months. And, man, what a fun night! It's insane what these guys pulled off. So far beyond what my friend and I were ever able to manage with our original remake project... and we were only shooting the intro! At the time we saw Chris and Eric's remake that night, there was only one scene they hadn't been able to film: The airplane scene where Indy fights the big, bald German. In 2014, though, after a successful Kickstarter, they got the gang back together to film the airplane scene and finally finish the movie after 25 years. It's so weird now to see how much that project blew up for them -- they got to meet Spielberg, the "Napoleon Dynamite" dude made the documentary about them, they've toured all over the country in a branded bus, showing and speaking about the film, Eric tours schools giving inspirational speeches encouraging kids to chase their dreams and don't give up, etc. It's nuts seeing all that now and thinking back to watching the movie that night at Activision, back before all the hoopla, when it was just two of my co-workers showing a small group of us this crazy, funny, over-the-top project they did as kids and telling us all the insane stories about doing the stunts, setting the fires, creating the FX, etc. Anyway, this comment was WAY longer than I intended it to be but I just wanted to share a few of my own experiences, like yours, that were inspired by or related to loving this movie as a kid. And, honestly, I just think it's awesome that a movie like "Raiders" can inspire so many kids -- of all artistic, economic, and determination levels -- to try on the fedora and play Indy for a while. Or, y'know, make an entire movie. That's love.

​@@johnplaysgames3120 Wow

I love any Indy movie where he's punching Nazis!

Then we see short round kicking some ass!

Me too:)

Ke Huy Quan ladies and gentlemen!

Last Crusade is also my favorite, actually the only one I saw in the cinema.

Pitch: Indy goes to Hell and back 🔥🔥🔥

To me the best Indy

I'm a massive horror fan, and that's probably a big reason why this is my fav Indy and one of my favorite movies of all time

I think in the making of etc ... they talk about having accidentally made something that would be R-rated. I'm pretty sure this film is by and large the cause for PG-13 being invented. all of that was talked about in the making of and bonus features of the trilogy.

It's really the perfect Indiana Jones movie. Only James Bond could have played Indiana Joneses father. Great casting.

Last Crusade may be your favorite, but Raiders is the true classic of the series. The others aren't even close.

Except for the whole Nazi thing, no big whoop. Lol.

My favorite movie of all time….

This one was so campy. Not a great movie. The special effects were not that special especially how late it was.

@@libbyrn8974 Definitely not the best but it wasn't terrible. At least it was better than the fourth (for me).

@@sirunclejim7217 yea Don't bother with the crystal skull😛

I never knew people got so annoyed by her. I've always loved her character. I find her hilarious.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do think that she gets maligned unfairly. Jones literally holds her at knife point when they meet, and she unexpectedly goes from dancer at a fancy nightclub to fighting for her life against a death cult of child slavers who try to sacrifice her by burning her alive in a very short amount of time. There's no reason in the world to expect her to be prepared to handle this.

Me too, she's hilarious! I love the trio of Indy, Short Round and Willie, they were all so great together.

@@safirestudio me too

The whole point about Willie is that she's supposed to be an example of what would happen when an untrained, everyday civilian ends up accompanying Indy on his travels - that is to say, it would go pretty poorly. She was written as a kind of subversion of the recurring trope of the 'strong action damsel' that was popular at the time: she doesn't want to be there, she doesn't have great chemistry with the hero, she's not on board with his plans and really, the most redeeming thing about her is the fact that she's pretty.

I agree Crusade is much better than this one!

@@lokivt 100%

I rank "Raiders ..." and "... Crusade" as co-equal best of the series, and as 2 of my all-time favorite 25 or 30 movies. This one has lots of action, but only a few tattered moments of story, and zip for character development. As for believability, no. It's all a load of BS. "Big Trouble in Little China" or "The Golden Child" have better and more believable stories. So do "Kung Fu Panda" and "Shrek", now that I think about it.

@@RealTechZen Believability? You mean like ghosts coming out of an Ark, to shoot flames of fire through Nazi heads? Or perhaps meeting a 200 year old Knight that's been kicking around since the middle ages, while on a quest to find a Holy Grail?

People who say Crusade is really good are nuts or it's just because that was the one they saw in theaters. Temple of Doom is a masterpiece. One of the best sequels ever made. Crusade is Ok only. It's just a mediocre retread of Raiders. Nothing daring about it or memorable. Temple of Doom is brave, creative and contains one classic action scene after another. What classic action scenes are in Crusade?...crickets.

Yes!! Good job! I was going to mention the Club Obi Won sign, but you beat me to it. Well done! Since the Star Wars reference w/the sign is covered, I'll mention the fun cameo. In the beginning of the movie, when Indy, Willie, and Short Round are about to board the plane, the man (Weber) assisting, is played by Dan Aykroyd.

the fourth wasnt that bad it wasnt good but it wasnt that bad either its worth watching once

I read that there is a fan theory that all the Star Wars references are there because there is no Indiana Jones. The Indiana Jones movies are supposedly just dreams that Han Solo has when encased in the carbonite in Star Wars.

There was no fourth Indiana Jones film. It was a trilogy. 😐

I like Kingdom of the Crystal skull for what it is.

Yep!! You nailed it. Like Deborah Kerr in King Solomon's Mines. She's great and her character is great. Throwback. People who don't like her just don't get it.

I found it tedious and predictable. His performance was award-worthy, especially considering the vehicle he was dragging.

@@RealTechZen Man, so it's not just me. That was a totally *decent* movie (with a frankly now overworked premise) featuring beloved actors finally getting their due...

I've been SO happy for him (and Iove that flick)!

He should have won Best Supporting Oscar for This Movie!

@@jamesalexander5623 :)

I’m old enough to have seen the first 3 in order at a cinema in the 1980’s. The first is the best, 3rd is good too. This is my least favourite.

I had no idea until like 5 years ago.

When I was a little kid, "Temple of Doom" was the movie that introduced me to the concept of a "prequel." Before that, it had never even occurred to me that a series of movies wouldn't just keep moving forward in time to "the next chapter."

I just found out right now at 37. Lol thanks

I never knew that and I'm almost 40

Small Fry? Funny how memory works. He played Short Round, basically the same meaning.

Short Round..... Not small fry

This must be a Mandela effect I always thought it was short round.

And My Girl, another one they need to react to if they haven't yet.

Also, the man that plays Indiana Jones is the same actor that plays Han Solo in the "Star Wars" movies

@@mike79p I think you'd missed it, but Amber already mentioned that at the beginning of this reaction

Both Lucas, and Spielberg had just been through divorces at the time.

@@travisfoster1071 That is true. It's apparent they were working out their negative feelings through the harsh situations depicted, some critics opined.

Empire is my favorite Star Wars movie. Last Hope is too campy and Jedi is str8 corny.

Also he says Luke's line "How hard could it be?" about flying

Were the same age. I saw all the classic 80s movies in the theater. The rated PG ones anyway lol

I'm amazed that so many people, who've watched this movie for almost forty years didn't realize that it's a prequel. "1935" appears as the final opening credit. If you've watched Raiders enough times, you know it takes place in 1936. It's right there on the screen.

Little known fact? Thank you Cliff Clavin

I was on pins and needles waiting to see how they would respond to the meanest parts of this.

@@josiahalcorne The kids did alright...

@@susanlab572 They did. This was one of my more anticipated reviews. It was very interesting to see this through a grown up lens vs a five year old perspective. I'm hoping for an interesting theme month for July or September Patriotic movies or back to school. I wish they had gone a little harder for black history but Glory would have been my top choice for the theme.

I have a similar memory. Family all sitting around, I was a little younger so was playing on the floor while kind of watching the movie. I remember everyone being grossed out by the eyeball soup and my Uncle getting a kick out of the whole gross dinner. Lol! Can't remember if it was around Christmas though. I've watched it several times since then. 😊

Some folks just want sunshine and bubble gum.

Seconded!!!

Agreed 😊

Capshaw wasn't Spielberg's wife at the time. They met making the film.

About 500 people posted it so far... 🤣

What was the first movie to get PG-13? I thought it was this one.

Red Dawn 1984

@@samuraiwarriorsunite Huh. I don't remember, it's all so long ago now. I did see Red Dawn on VHS (we rented it) and don't remember the rating at all.

Used to?

Have to reply to myself but I agree. As I get into my 30s and 40s, it is my favorite of the trilogy.
