Here's a 24th thing about Raiders you may not have known: The bit about Indiana Jones having a phobia of snakes was an inside joke. When Harrison Ford was in the Boy Scouts years earlier, he earned a merit badge for herpetology, the study of snakes.

I saw it at the theater when it came out and loved it and can you guess which movie came with the beta video machine my dad finally got? Yup, Raiders of the Lost Ark was the movie we got with it. LOL.

In the original movie, you can see the reflection of the glass. It has been digitally removed now.

Raiders being released on VHS was the reason our family bought our first VCR player. And at that time, they ran a promotion where you answered three trivia questions about Raiders then mailed them in for a chance to win tickets to the premiere of Temple of Doom, which was being released in six weeks.

11:50 It was the first movie I saw on VHS 6 years old at 1982. My oncle had just bought a VHS and had Raiders on a tape and he let me watch while babysitting. The Ark scene scared me for years.

Wow! That shot of the Regency I theater on Van Ness Ave is where I saw the movie! Waited out in the San Francisco fog for 2 hours, the line was that long to get in.

I seem to remember that McDonald's was selling the Indiana Jones VHS tapes for something like $5 or $6 each as a promo deal way back in the early '90s

@ 3:05 the name of the club they are running from is "Club Obi Wan". Although this shot is from "The Temple of Doom" it is still an interesting fact.

The special effects were amazing! especially the faces melting on the Nazis!

Yes, for its time they were amazing. Practical effects, even if not perfect, are so much better than CGI.

The swordsman getting shot was a terrific, fun, & classic moment, but in 1975, Benny Hill also had a similar scene, at approximately the 8:47-ish moment in his 1975 short, “Gavin Blod: The Man & His Music”. It’s available to watch on KZfaq. Enjoy!

Who knew back in 1981 that both Han Solo and Doc Ock would share a scene.

So the idea that Indiana made no difference in the outcome of a plot is ridiculous. Belloq early in the movie states to Colonel dietrich that he's going to be replaced if he doesn't find the ark soon. If Indiana hadn't been there to lead that greasy little nazi spy to mariam then belloq to the well of soulds it would have taken them much longer to find the ark. Which means it would have been another archaeologist who found it. He may not have been arrogant enough to open it. And even if that archaeologist was arrogant enough to open it so what, no one would have been there to contact the Americans after their faces got melted. Hitler still would have found it eventually after he tracked down his ship and he might have gone through a few science crews but eventually they would have figured out not to look at the ark. And then Hitler would have his mega weapon. Keep in mind belloq was a particularly pompous clown. just look at the outfit you wore when he opened the ark. Of course there is the slim chance with another archaeologists that Hitler would have attended the opening which would have been great but I think the overall point is an intelligent person can't really say anything with certainty except that we know it would have been different

Indy played no part in the final outcome of the movie. Without Indy the Nazi's still would have found the ark, still would have opened it, and still would have had thier face melted. No amount of spin is going to change this outcome. It was a good movie, and still enjoyable to watch, but Indy made no difference in the ending of the movie.

Sir, please find someone who can narrate with some interest, flex, tone and variation. It's too monotone and dull

24 items. Indy play no role in the outcome of the movie. With or without him the nazi's would have still found the ark.

@jakewolf9495 Ай бұрын

Indy plays a massive role in the movie you need to re-watch it.

@jeffhyche9839 Ай бұрын

@@jakewolf9495 Go back and watch the entire movie an think about it. Indy has no effect in the movie at all except maybe the last 2 minutes of the movie. With or without him, the Nazi's would have still found the ark. The only outcome Indy had in the movie was getting the ark locked up in a warehouse. Which is not necessary a good thing. If Indy had not been involved the Ark would have eventually been opened in front of Hitler and the rest of the top Nazi elites. Melting them and avoiding WWII. So, really Indy's involvement kind of made it worse.

What kind of non-sensical statement did you make? Yeah, the nazis would probably find it eventually - BUT INDY FOUND IT FIRST then the nazis took over from there. INDY finding it first is important to the plot line and moves the movie forward !

@kenwhitener985 28 күн бұрын

What kind of nonsensical statement did you make? The nazis may have eventually found the Ark - BUT INDY FOUND IT FIRST !! And by him finding it first, the nazis took it from his group which drives the later part of the story.
