"The monkey didn't choose to be a na zi" is the funniest sentence I have heard in awhile.

"I'd never thought I'd be happy to hear the crack of a whip." ::Spits coffee::

"George Costanza".......... Yes, I'm calling it. Alanda is THE greatest movie reactor on the tube.

Harrison Ford was supposed to have an extended sword fight with the baddie, but he was weak and very sick with dysentery and asked Spielberg, "Can't I just shoot him?" He loved the idea.

10:27 Marian: [Dresses up like Alanda] Alanda: "Marian, you look fantastic...." 🥰

I remember watching this in the theatres back in 1981, when the little Gestapo guy pulled out that hanger. We all gasped and were all probably thinking the same thing some type of freaky nunchuks. But then when he showed it to be just a coat hanger, the place erupted in laughter.

“ Jafar has joined the chat.” “ The blue flame of Hades…” “Antici…pation” Your references and shout outs are so perfect!

Those spiders on Alfred Molina (Doc Ock of Spider-Man 2) were real. They had trouble getting the spiders to move and didn’t want people thinking they were props. Turns out they were all male. So they added one female and in Molina’s words “ all hell broke loose.” 😆

I have to give props to Alanda she in my opinion is one of the best reactors on KZfaq. She has mastered the skill of reacting to a movie with humorous and well timed commentary and she does it without talking over and missing important movie dialogue. Also she doesn't stop the movie every 5 minutes to comment on stuff which is fantastic by me.

"Jafar has joined the chat?" Not for long, lol

"Your liver is about to fall straight out your butthole." I never have a beverage when I'm watching your reactions because you get me every time!

Ok, here’s the deal. Your editing is extremely good. Some reactors will deliver their reaction in the same number of minutes, and completely obliterate any sense of the story’s narrative. You include all the important things, and give your viewer something coherent. Yes, I’ve seen this movie a hundred times, and know EVERYTHING that happens. But it’s nice to see the spine of this movie preserved in your editing process. Just please don’t spend fewer minutes. This is the sweet spot.

LOL! "Granny Smith. He doesn't really like you." Girl, you are so right. 😂

12:21 That scene where he shoots the swordsman is one of the most iconic moments in film, and it wasn't even supposed to happen. Harrison Ford was supposed to have a really elaborate fight sequence, but he was horribly sick with dysentery. So he suggested that Indy just shoot the guy, and the rest is history. He also ad-libbed the line, "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage" at 25:51. 30:06 I wasn't expecting a Barry Manilow cover!

"Not this traitorous chimp!" 🤣🤣🤣 I love your channel, Alanda! You have great quips.

“The monkey didn’t choose to be a nazi” 😂 luv luv luv your reactions. Have watched them all and my favorite so far is for Halloween. Laughed so hard! Thank you for making my day❤️

Now imagine seeing the face melting scene when you were five years old. The guy with glasses stayed with me for a long time.

It's the measure of Marion's character that she kept mum and didn't sell out Jones to save her own ass. She played along out of loyalty and the cause.

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out when I was about 12 years old. This was my Star Wars! This movie was an absolute game changer for live action and special effects. Saw it at least three times in the theater. I believe a movie critic said it best, "This is why we go to the movies!". They don't make them like this anymore.

In the MCU movie Captain America: The First Avenger, the character Red Skull quips about "The Fuhrer is out digging in the desert". That is a reference to this movie. The director of that Captain America film actually worked on Raiders of the Lost Ark as well in his younger days.

I really enjoy reaction videos for movies that I grew up watching, because it allows me the opportunity to see something I'm familiar with with a new pair of eyes .... And this was BY FAR the most fun! I need more of this in my life.

"And God said, 'stop right there' ." Ok, that was a great comment. Also, as has been commented on-Indy didnt' need to do anything in the end. If Belloq found the Ark, and when he opened it, BOOM. Imagine if he'd opened it in front of Hitler? War wouldn't even START.

"The movie about the sexy archeologist I saw was The Mummy" Hard agree. Rachel Weisz is gorgeous in The Mummy! For more pulp adventuring type movies, Romancing The Stone and Jewel Of The Nile, along with Richard Chamberlain/Sharon Stone Allan Quartermain movies (King Solomons Mines and Lost City Of Gold).

I am almost 50 years old, I've seen this movie LOTS of times.... And now, after watching this reaction I will never get the mental image of Prince ascending from the Ark of the Covenant OUT OF MY HEAD !!!.... Thanks...?

A pure masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time.

"I mean, I do feel bad. The monkey didn't choose to be a Nazi." Once again, you have made my day. The best.

And the Lord said on to Indie "DO NOT OPEN MY BOX!"

Alot of people will tell you not to watch the 4th film,but I suggest you make your own decision about watching it,i personally enjoyed the 4th film and I know 100s of people who enjoy it also,mary only returns in the 4th film if you really like her,she had a bigger part in the 4th film.

Speaking of Parsel tongue and dementors, Captain Katanga is Kingsley Shacklebolt.

I really enjoy your reactions, and you have many of the same thoughts I had while watching this: "I know they didn't just kill Marion's fine ass like that." "These people are just trying to do their jobs" etc. Loved it.

It's speaks volumes to the coat hanger gag, that EVERY reactor I've laughs heartily at the reveal.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the 3rd film, is the best film of the franchise. Plus, we get Sean Connery as Indy’s father in the film. The father son dynamic is amazing in the film. Also, Marion does not comeback until the 4th film.

"Prince is about to pop outta there." Oh my (literal) God! I lost it! I love your takes so much.

"Never been so happy to hear the crack of a whip" 🤣 "WTF, don't pet this monkey - it's his bitch-ass fault!" Too Funny! 😂🤣 I've missed your unique reviews since S05 of The Expanse, Ms Parker. Glad you've been enjoying some of the best films from the 80s! I should've waited till the end before commenting - "Shadowfax" 😂 "I tried to let you jump out the back... but you had to have it like that. 🙄" I'm in tears!

Brilliant commentary! "George Castanza" was a classic!

Yay, the one that brought back adventure films! And with another iconic score from John Williams 🎵 Oh and fun fact: Indie was almost played by Tom Selleck, but he was busy with a TV contract

These rapid-fire quips....why can't I find a girl like Alanda?

I can't count how many times I've seen this movie with my dad, but it never got old or boring great writing and cast and very memorable.

"With a snake on your crotch?!" Oh, my!

Fun Fact: Sallah, Indy's friend, was played by John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli and the voice of Treebeard in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The first 15 minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark is the greatest movie ever made.

Fun fact: in the scene with the Arab swordsman, Indy was supposed to fight him sword to whip. But Harrison Ford was having bad diarrhea (hence why he looks exhausted and sweaty) so he just took his gun out of the holster and fired. The crew loved it so much they kept it in the movie.

When you watch the next movie, keep in mind it's a prequel, not a sequel to Raiders.

It was delightful watching you react to this movie. Loved your quips. Your physical reactions showed how deeply you were engaged with it and how you gave in to the movie magic. The film did its job every step of the way. Looking forward to more.

At the theater when Indy comes out of the tent on that white horse everyone cheered it was such a great time !

Marion Ravenwood is the best sidekick Indiana Jones ever had. If you like Karen Allen, definitely check out these films: Animal House (1978), The Wanderers (1979), Starman (1984) and Scrooged (1988). She also had a supporting role in Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" with Denzel Washington in 1992, as Miss Dunne. If you're in the mood for a good drama have a look at "The Glass Menagerie" (1987) directed by Paul Newman, again with Karen Allen. Aside from her role in Raiders of The Lost Ark, I would personally recommend Starman and Scrooged next.

Good timing to watch this classic. It's the 40th Anniversary of the franchise. 'Raiders' was the box office champ of 1981 and it received 5 Oscars. Hope you enjoy the other 3 films (2 are great, 1 is most hated). Harrison Ford is age 79 now and is filming Indy 5 for summer 2022 (unbelievable).

Karen Allen had and still has the prettiest smile I've ever seen.

And for the youngins.....the movie was simply titled Raiders of the Lost Ark....the three sequels headlined Indy’s name.

What if the warehouse where they took the Ark at the end was real? There was a show on SciFi called "Warehouse 13" and that was the basic premise of the show. Was on for 4 years.

It never ceases to amaze me how many classics you hadn’t seen but right up yo alley......u seem so mature like someone of my era.

Damn. I love your reactions

Such a great reation. With SO many funny quips! "And God said, 'Stop right there!'." LMAO!

Girl you slay me! You are so funny. I saw this near the end of it's original theater run on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I had a couople of hours to kill so off I went. A father brought his young son and daughter to it and they were sitting in front of me. The kids were maybe 8 or 9. When the melting face part came on they started crying. He had to take them out of there. They were really upset. I loved how Indy got fed up and shot the guy with the giant sword! It made my soda come out my nose! Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. One of those satisfying movie moments, you know? Entertaining from start to finish. Like an old school adventure movie.

He didn't go under the truck but that was Harrison being dragged.

@14:15, I love this scene Indy is so heartbroken over his Marion, he is ready to say "F all of this" and go out guns blazing as long as Belloq comes with him. Despite him being such a bad a$$ man of adventure, Indy is just a man in love. Surprisingly its a love he didn't really know he felt so strongly. In this moment he isn't even worried about the mission anymore. His mind is all on Marion. This is one of the lowest points in the series for Indy emotionally. I think what makes the character Indiana Jones such an enduring cinematic icon is that he isn't a superhero. Throughout this movie, he quite often gets his butt handed to him. We see him struggling with the wounds and bumps from this adventure. But he has a can do spirit and doesn't give up despite the odds. By comparison, the heroes of today's films barely look fazed by their struggles. That's why we root so hard for him.

« Desperation station » LOL love it!

"You are silly," is the best reaction to the Nazi hanger moment. Another top tier reaction! Also, you should totally check out the original 1974 "Black Christmas" and 1979 "When a Stranger Calls". Skip the remakes.

“I hope Marion is in the next one.” Ha!

Thanks again for sharing a classic blockbuster with us.

the dude that plays Sallah is John Rhys-Davies who also played Gimli in LotR

This was the first VHS tape my grandmother bought for me, it probably cost a fortune back then. Right when VCRs were getting into homes, I'll never forget it. Being on this planet awhile does have its advantages, as long as you manage to stay out of serious trouble. The sequel is watchable with a weak female companion, but a few impressive scenes as well. The third entry is highly recommended, which should be a good time for you. Keep up the good work.

Raiders was in 1936 - Temple of Doom is a prequel set in 1935. Last Crusade is in 1938 and Crystal Skull is in the year 1957. Hope that helps!

Don't listen to the haters and give your own opinion of Temple of Doom. It is different that the first movie but it's still a fun film. I really want to see your reaction of Crystal Skull because you are coming into these without years of nostalgic expectations that haunted the release of CS. I will relish in your one liners even if you don't like it but I have some appreciation for Crystal Skull that some people don't agree with.

George Costanza... lol Love your style!

Out of every reaction kind-of YTuber i'm subbed to, I think Alanda would be by far the most fun to watch a film with.

Jafar has joined the chat *BANG!* Jafar has left the chat

The whole "family label" is funny to them (for different perspective reasons) because she's trying to drink him under the table and he's keeping up because he's been drinking it all his life.

It's the weekend. And once again, Miss Alanda has posted a thoroughly enjoyable reaction. Keep 'em coming.

A great reaction!

So happy you're watching the Indiana Jones movies :)

Powerful, clever, hilarious, beautiful. Best reactor on KZfaq.

One of my favorite movie characters of all time. Professor (spoiler) Jones (spoiler).

The Flying Wing pilot that Marion conks is producer Frank Marshall. Best. Leo.

You called Indy's horse Shadowfax...Sallah, Indy's friend, was John Rhys Davies...better known as Gimli the Dwarf and the voice of Treebeard in 'The Lord of the Rings'! I swear...you were making me laugh at least half of this reaction...I loved it!! Thanks!!!

Sallah played by John Rhys-Davies also plays in the TV show Sliders and the TV movie 12 day's of terror. Which is based on the true events off the coast of Jersey shore. The shark attacks of the summer of July 1916 which inspired the movie Jaws.

Finally some appreciation for Marian. Had a huge crush on Karen Allen.

One of the best scripts Hollywood has ever seen. Great performances and incredible directing. Inspiring soundtrack. That’s it… I used enough adjectives for one day.

Snakes and other reptiles make great pets and companions, I have 2 gorgeous albino snakes and 2 beautiful albino leopard geckos. And they all love being held, petted and snuggled with! I even let my kids snuggle with them and they love it, both the reptiles and the kids! Plus we also have 1 dog, 3 chickens, 2 hamsters, 2 gerbils. We have own own little farm here lol.

Me in unison at 5:35: Thief! 😄 Alanda never misses a trick. 💜

Gotta love that early 80's PG rating. ;)

No Marion in the second movie unfortunately. And I don't know what the writers were thinking with the characterization of her replacement! 2nd one is a prequel, by the way :-)

It always confused me how the Nazis were like 'Yeah, let's bring the original of the Ten Commandments from when 'hard copy' really meant something, nothing could possibly go wrong when it sees how we treat the Hebrew people-' Still, Nazis. Thinking shit through has never been a virtue they've grasped, in any of their iterations.

I thoroughly enjoy your commentary

I was fortunate enough to see this movie in a theatre in Toronto years ago. It is a whole different experience seeing it on the big screen- don't pass it up if you ever get the chance.

21:34 the best scream in movie history! Thanks I enjoyed your reaction always a fun time!

Temple of Doom is my personal favorite despite wat everyone else thinks.

Great reaction. This was the first VHS tape we got when VCRs first came out. I've seen this a zillion times. It never gets old.

The snake coming out of the skeletons mouth was my childhood trauma. It will always be with me 😱😱

Funny thing about “Jafar”. That was supposed to be an epic fight between the swordsman and Indy. But Harrison Ford told the director he didn’t feel too good that morning and asked if he could just shoot him instead. He did and it became one of the most iconic scenes in cinema.

I saw this thing in a theaters a few months ago suchhh a fun experience

Harry Potter reference = CHECK Lord of the Rings reference = CHECK Aladdin reference = CHECK Prince of Egypt reference = CHECK (A fucking) Dunston Checks In reference = CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!! Alanda is officially the best. Also "Not this traitorous chimp" is the best quote ever.

Love your reactions. 😁

This is such a good movie. And the very first time that I saw this movie was when it came out in theaters. And I saw it again on VHS and Home Video too. This is such a good movie and a great classic too.

Fun facts about Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) (1) Harrison Ford Wasn’t the First Choice to Play as Indy. The first choice was Tom Selleck. Selleck was already set to play the character, but when CBS found out that the star of their popular show Magnum P.I., was going to star in a movie, they didn’t allow Selleck to appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark. (2) The famous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman wasn’t in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the sword out of his attacker’s hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten, made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, Ford suggested, “shooting the sucker.” Steven Spielberg immediately agreed and the scene was successfully filmed. (3) Steven Spielberg originally wanted Danny DeVito to play Sallah, and DeVito was set for the role, but he had to drop out, due to conflicts with Taxi. DeVito later appeared as a second banana to Michael Douglas in the Raiders tribute and derivatives, Romancing the Stone.

Assuming you'll be watching Temple of Doom next, try to go into it with adjusted expectations. A lot of people dislike it. Also be aware that it has a much darker tone, while also being much more over-the-top and cartoony. It's almost like they made a horror movie in which Indiana Jones was inserted to save the day. And it *is* ridiculously over-the-top in its pacing and gags. I think the viewer's attitude determines whether those are weaknesses or strengths. I think once you accept beforehand that it's going to have faults, and that it *will* be different than Raiders, it's easier to enjoy it and to spot how creative and daring it was. I will also say that Doom has some of the best, most inventive sequences in the entire Indy franchise, and it has one of Ford's most charismatic performances.

As you go ahead in the series be aware of the years each of the movies take place in. The sequel is actually set before this one, so no Marion.

Brilliant rections to one of my 4 all time favourite films. This totally blew me at the age of 14 in 1981. Loved it ever since.

The darkest one in the franchise is the temple of Doom the second one. But my favorite is the third one last crusade with Indy's father it hold more with me now since it was the second to the last movie I saw in theaters with my late mother.

"Jafar has joined the chat"? OH MY GOD
