I can see why Ford likes this more than Star wars he seems like he's actually having fun
Objectively, it IS much better than SW.
@@dacsus true
@@dacsus kids say "objectively" when their ego is so high they somehow think their opinion has any more merit. It doesn't, so stop believing it.
If you really think it's "objectively" better, than prove it. Except you can't, because entertainment is too subjective to definitively say whether one thing is better than another (to an extent).
The word "objectively" is the new "literally". It doesn't give your opinion any more weight, sorry.
@@dacsus also it's completely irrelevant to the conversation. Whether it's "objectively better" or not has no relevance to whether Harrison Ford had more fun filming or not lol. Dunce.
@@TheJayson8899 By objectivity I meant the obvious elements - such as the camera, the lighting and complexity of the scenes, the actors' performances, the consistency of the story, the dialogues, and the world itself, the quality of the script, the wittiness, the quality of the costumes, and so on and so forth.
Any adult will notice this, a child might miss the differences, and the childishness of the SW story (and everything that contrasts with the Raiders) is absolutely fine with him.
A few years ago I was taking a train from Schenectady to the city and when we stopped in Albany, a woman who'd just boarded asked if she could take the seat next to me. I immediately noticed how incredibly striking her smile was and a moment after she sat down I told her she looked familiar and could swear I knew her from somewhere. She said, "I'm an actress, my name's Karen Allen, nice to meet you." Being the same age as the kids in The Sandlot and having grown up a big Indiana Jones fan, I surprised myself and played it pretty cool. We made some small talk about going to the city, I complimented her on her work and gave some small details about growing up with her movies, she asked me about myself, and then we both went on our laptops. I'll never forget her stunning, rare smile that very well could be the most beautiful smile I'll ever see.
U wot m8
Alex, I'll take "Things that never happened" for 1000, please.
@@unknown_user8449 there are things that happen, trust me.
@@unknown_user8449 if it was some madeup fantasy, they would have something absolutely CRAZY happen (eg. Karen Allen saves them from falling off the train, a big meteor crashes into the back and they all scramble and the duo end up saving everyone and stop the train from crashing into a kindergarten)đđđđđ
She lives in the Berkshires, Massachusetts. My coworker sold her windows for her house and you can imagine my jealousy when he came back from the house and said how incredibly sweet she was!!! I wouldâve embarrassed myself fan boying so bad.
@@unknown_user8449 No, that story 100% checks out. I know her address and she lives RIGHT near there on the NY/MA boarder. So donât hate. I believe you OP.
I remember my mom taking me to see this in 1981, I was 15 and I wasn't really all that enthused about going to see it, as I hadn't heard about it and didn't know what it was about. But, boy after about the first 10 minutes I was hooked! It's still one of my favorites! My mom knew me pretty good. I miss her dearly.
Great memory! I also remember not being too excited as I walked in the theater that day in '81. Like you, I didn't know much about what we were soon to see and I just couldn't get past the fact that we were going to see a movie with 'Han Solo' in it that wasn't a Star Wars flick. I remember sitting down, actually wishing they would somehow mess up and just show Empire Strikes Back again instead. Once it got started though, I don't think it took even 10 minutes for me to figure out that this would be one of my favorite films of all time!
Years later I got to realize a bit of a dream as I was lucky enough to be an extra in the last-shot scene of the most famous fan-film ever made: 'Raiders The Adaptation'. I was one of the German soldiers in the back of the truck that Marion shot from the gun-turret of the rotating airplane as well as a background soldier in a few other shots. You can see it here on YT by searching 'Raiders vs Adaptation'. It was surreal living out a childhood fantasy in real-life!
This was supposed to be the first video I ever rented (After I'd seen it at my Aunt's house and wanted to see it again), but as we had a Betamax VCR, the choice at our newly opened local video store was very limited. So we rented Flash Gordon instead.
You saw this movie in theaters?? Dang, nigga, you old AF.
@37silverstreak1 so youâre 57 now đ€
@@fastkarr8256 Yep! although some days, I feel a lot older!!!!
It's really weird seeing Harrison Ford genuinely happy. But he still sounds like his body doesn't know how to laugh.
what do you mean?
@@nathaniliescutotherescue6047 I'm convinced that some celebrities like Ford, DeNiro, and Tommy Lee Jones, are so chronically depressed from some kind of serious foundational trauma that they don't have a genuine connection to joy and require suspended mental states to experience it. Carrie Fisher said that Ford got fun after getting drunk, Jones has said that he has no sense of humor, and DeNiro has always been cagey and defensive. If you look at how each and every one of these people laugh, either in an outtake or in a film, you can almost see the effort they make in making it happen because it doesn't seem to come naturally to them.
It's really that Ford doesn't like Han Solo, which was his main career. He LOVES Indiana Jones and has said he wants to do those movies forever until Spielberg got busy with other movies
Such horse shit.
@@coocoollama64 but Hanso Solo and Indiana are similar characters.
This makes me love The Indiana Jones movies even more with chemistry and hilarity that comes with it.
It was a treat to see them so relaxed and enjoying the time together
Same.
These are the greatest bloopers/behind the scenes outtakes Iâve *ever* seen.
Considering this is my favorite movie of all-time.
Even his outtakes are manly, attractive, and self assured.
Harrison Ford is the leading man for the ages.

When men used to have testosterone.
Great actor working with amazing director, only thing bad i would say about Spielberg is the fact he ruined SeaQuest from quite a nice "Star Trek underwater" series with great cast and amazing theme of "there are always solutions other than war" into some chaos of battle scenes/aliens/ghosts or other unnatural entities as i think Spielberg is always jelous of Stanley Kubrick legend and Spielberg always wants to make the epic sci fi/war drama or unnatural entities movies that will make him more huge than Kubrick, he only achived that in war movies but for sci fi as huge as Space Odyseey 2001 or such spooky movie as Shinning Spielberg still have to look for :D
Boomers had Bogart, Gable and Stewart. We got Ford, Gibson and Willis.
hĂ€rd tv beat. i thrövv in yöure; welles n pölĂŒnD$Ky y
i saw this movie as a little kid when it first came out, by the end of it i was enthralled, i couldnt wait to see the next adventure indy went on, this is without a doubt one of the all time great movies
It's a perfect mix of adventure, chills, and humor.
amen
we went back in & watched again the following day
Indiana shooting the swordsman remains a classic example of timely problem solving. And Han shot first.
That would have been a great fight scene, but Ford had dysentery and wasn't feeling well, so we ended up with the iconic scene instead.
Love the fact that Spielberg wore a Star Wars hat on the set of Indiana Jones
I remember, already being a massive Harrison Ford fan as a kid, when my stepmom, who was a reporter, managed to get me advanced press release photos months before the filmâs release. Which later I managed to get autographed. Of course it was lost over the years. Still, that first film was so iconic.
I remember watching Raiders in the theatre. The kids around me were so excited they could barely stay in their seats. It was such a fun popcorn movie reminiscent of the old B movie actioners of the 1930s and 40s.
Sallah being the comic relief with the Nazi's works beautifully.
To see 2 icons like Ford and Spielberg joking around is just as magic as the movie itself!
What a fabulous, unrepeatable timeless classic.
I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. But mark my words in less than 20 years they will try to remake it. Putting a woman in the lead
I don't know. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes pretty close.
@@TheMasterOfNotAlot lol
@@thebutcher5032 It may not take 20 years if the rumors about Indy 5 are true.
@@thebutcher5032 imo, in few years, that woke sht will be gone.
The best line in that bedroom scene with Marcus is when Indy says "Besides you know what a cautious guy I am" and he tosses his pistol into the suitcase.
"Cautious fellow"
One of my favorite movie franchises, a timeless masterpiece!
Great film. Harrison Ford has a leading man star quality that is really lacking in modern day actors
But the character of Indie is ab solutely useless for the whole story. With or wo him the end would be the same.đđđ
@Iceman 23 well he doesnât save the girl, actually managers to get caught himself along side her and didnât stop the Nazis from getting the arc.
Because today's leading character's require super powers that aren't real - in the past it was real super powers possible by a human being.
@@steffenrosmus9177 that's a popular misconception by people who cant think for themselves. Because of Indy the ark ended up in possession of the American government. Without Indy the Ark would have remained with the germans who eventually would have worked out how to weaponise it and win the war. Because of Indy the Ark winds up being locked away safely. Try thinking for yourself for a change instead of just repeating what you've read elsewhere.
Namely being manly
Alfred Molina was just starting his career when he played Satipo in Raiders. He did a great job, for the small role he had. As then went on to become a fantastic actor.
This makes me want to re-watch Raiders in a movie theater.
Didn't it get re-released in theaters last year for the 40th anniversary?
i love seeing little alfred molina being the professional hollywood goofball he always is.
But here, heâs SO underrated đ
@@drasticrivet2004 I disagree. He gave as much personality to his character in those 5-7 minutes that he was on screen. Granted, it wasnt a wide range of traits that the character needed: slimy, greedy and treacherous coward. When i was watching this movie first time i was immideately like: "Ooh, better don't turn your back to this guy or he'll put a knife between your ribs" Even his name, Satipo... I wouldn't trust someone with a name like this
I never knew for all my life that THAT guy was Dr. Otto Octavius. That's fucking wild
Which one is he
@@luisn642He plays Satipo, Indyâs traitorous guide in the first minute of the video
Spielberg has created quite a few masterpieces but for me, this movie will be his best. It has all the right ingredients for me.
For me, his two best are Raiders Of The Lost Ark and E.T. and he made them back-to-back, what a legend
Raiders is my favourite, ET a close second. Such a brilliant film maker.
Goonies got me as a kid, Indiana Jones got me as an adult
@@thebutcher5032 I loved goonies, still do
â@@thebutcher5032 That was directed by Richard Donner.
The part where Harrison grabs Steven's moustache was just hilarious!
man did you see how strong Harrison Ford was? Alfred Molina's not a small man, but Harrison lifted him out of that hole with one arm like he was a mannequin
Saw this in '81 when it came out. Can't believe it's been 40 years.
its weird to think the timespan between now and this being made, is the same timespan between this being made and pearl harbour.
@@nathaniliescutotherescue6047 pretty soon the release of this movie will be closer to 1936 than it is to the present day
Finally, an explanation of why that dude is randomly laying against the wall when Indy and Marion escape the Well of the Souls.
Seen the movie a billion times. Never even noticed that guy there.
Iâd never seen him there. Need to check that.
Was just thinking the same thing!
@@namco003 he's in the wide shot, at the end of the scene. Because the scene is filmed in reverse shot.
I thought he was just a worker taking a break or being lazy
It looks like they had a blast making this film and Spielberg wasnât above joining in the fun.
The guy who is surprised to see Indy crawl out of the crypt when the rock is pulled out is the same guy that's surprised as he falls on the truck and stares open-mouthed at Indy in the chase scene. Would've made a nice touch to this movie... he keeps being surprised and staring blankly at Indy.
Is it really the same guy? lol
You're right. A huge missed opportunity. But, they probably would have had to pull this running gag at least one more time before it becoming REALLY funny.
True. That WOULD have been funny. Maybe when they're escaping from the flying wing plane, Indy bumps into him, growls, "You again!" and shoves him out of the way. Then the plane explodes and he's right next to it and goes out with a loud Penfield scream. The guy just can't win.
Spielberg has the perfect blend of fun, curiosity and crystal clear vision when either is required.
Either of the three?đ đ
6:22 This scene solves the mystery of how Indy reached the island where the Ark was being taken to.
Not really, we already knew he got on the sub, but unless he got inside somehow without being noticed (unlikely) & stayed on the for however many days without being noticed (unlikely) that would mean he had to hold his breath for hours & hours while it was submerged (impossible).
@@11C1P The submarine never submerged as there was nothing to hide from. Floating on the surface is more efficient.
@@11C1P Yup...From Wikipedia:
U-boat: From the German Unterseeboot ('under-sea-boat') :
"Because speed and range were severely limited underwater while running on battery power, U-boats were required to spend most of their time surfaced running on diesel engines, diving only when attacked or for rare daytime torpedo strikes. The more ship-like hull design reflects the fact that these were primarily surface vessels that could submerge when necessary."
It was explained in the book that Indy used the periscope (I think he tied his whip to it!). But the film kind of left it open to questions... The only way people might infer he'd hung onto the periscope was the scene showing the Nazis inside the sub looking through the periscope as they traveled underwater. Obviously, the top of the periscope had to be above water for the duration of their trip. đșđđŸ
@@whez08 This is what I always believed. They weren't at war yet and these diesel electric subs traveled faster on the surface.
The scene with Belloq preparing was pretty cool, and the gag with the butcher shop is cute
Loved seeing Spielberg wearing a Star Wars cap during one of those scenes.
Can't believe this was 40 years ago.
It's not the years, it's the....actually yeah it's the years
Oh now why did you have to go and say that?
I was successfully in denial about the passage of time as I thought back to when I first saw this in the theater.
I was 15 years old, a teen-ager, now I am a 55 old man. đ©
My all-time favorite movie since I saw it on the big screen as a kid. I know every line forwards and backwards. Iâve never seen any of this. Great stuff.
I saw this the night before my final dental exams, all studied out, brain bursting! first non study evening for months, Just loved it, very welcome distraction!
One of the best adventure movies of all time. đșđž
I'm glad Steven got his first choice for Indy which was Ford. George didn't want Ford because he had already been in 3 of his films. He didn't want him to become his 'Bobby Deniro".
I see KK in the background thinking âhow do I destroy this character?âŠâ
Karen Allen would have made a really good princess Leia if Carrie Fisher didn't accept the role. Karen auditioned for it as well.
Carrie Fisher gets a lot of love as Leia, for good reason, but Karen Allen would have done an amazing job as well.
Very much underrated actress and an absolute babe to boot.
I first watched Raiders of the Lost Ark (and Temple and Crusade) in 2008, it was around the time Crystal Skull was in theaters. I was 9 at the time. I thought all 4 of these movies were made at the same time and I got to see them all in quick succession, I had no concept of the idea that the first three Indy movies were made in the 80's.
Been a long time since I've seen these movies, I have a sealed 4 movie blu-ray collection sitting in my DVD collection waiting to be watched.
I always liked superheroes growing up. Batman, Superman, Spiderman but my favourite action hero was a geeky professor who obtained rare antiquities in his spare time
The shooting of the killer sword dude worked so much better. An iconic moment in movie history.
My late ex-husband dragged me to this movie.. I had absolutely no interest in it... but he'd heard it was fun so I said okay [I thought it was about Noah's Ark đ]... boy was I beyond pleasantly surprised when we started watching it and I was hooked!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!đ I loved how that entire whip scene with the Cairo swordsman got changed to Indy just shooting him [because Ford had dysentery on the day of filming and wasn't up to the whole whip vs sword fight scene] đđđ€Łđ€Ł
I know right!!! We got to see here what was intended.. I love the mistake better! My late Father did also.. Laughed his ass off back then and said That is how you do when you have a gun! LMAO
Sometimes I forget Doc Ock was in Raiders
There is a reason why I adore these films
Iâve been watching these movies for more than twenty five years yet this is the first time Iâve watched these bloopers and outtakes.
The famous "Indy's Pistol vs the Big Sword" final chosen scene was Harrison Ford's idea. He didn't feel good and wanted to cut it short. Great choice!
The Indy lashed to the periscope scene explained how he was able to stow away on the Nazi U-Boat.
Cause he had the shits
Montezuma revenge & 103 temperature.
did U-boats have the periscope up all the time??? What would have happened if they retreated the periscope??
@@swifty1969 At the island...
German#1: "What is this?"
German#2: "It is a drowned American stowaway. Judging by the whip, I'd say he was a lion tamer."
German#1: "Cool hat though."
@@swifty1969 The larger problem is that U-Boats of the era could only operate submerged for a few hours at a time, and traveled slowly while doing so. They weren't at war in 1936, so they probably would have traveled on the surface, except maybe for their approach to the base, assuming it was secret and they didn't want to let the Greeks or British know what they were doing.
In an alternate universe they are watching the version where the sword fight actually occurs and I feel so sorry for them.
Thank goodness Spielberg has never become squeamish over the scene where Indy shoots the swordsman.
Lucas would have CGI'ed in some sort of excuse by now.
"Harrison Ford revealed that the scene was meant to be the ultimate duel between sword and whip but he was suffering from dysentery and found it really difficult to be out of his trailer for more than ten minutes at a time. Ford and Spielberg realized that the complex fight scene would take days to shoot, a timeframe that the ailing star was not feeling up to. Therefore, Ford suggested that his character should simply shoot his enemy, and director Steven Spielberg readily agreed to the idea. "
It would of never made any sense. How can a whip be used against a sword. One strike and the whip is fully extended and the guy with the sword could of just rushed him and stabbed him. Dumb idea. It's actually lucky they all got diahrrea and Ford couldn't do it rather than bad luck which is normally what diahrrea is lol.
Ford = Legend. Indy = Icon.
I just cannot get over Harrison. He sends a chill up my spine every time I see his smile.
Like Christopher Reeve at the end of superman II
Like Christopher Reeve at the end of the first Superman movieđ„°đđ
âHello, Peter!â
âOoops⊠too soon?â
This was the greatest movie ever made when I was a child. I watched it so many times the VHS tape melted.
In my heart I would like to think this movie was perfect in every first take. But this is Gold.
I love outakes, director commentary and peek looks behind the curtains. I don't understand why it takes so long for us to see those. They are always loads of fun to watch :)
Seeing the actor who plays "Satipo" smile made realize, "Holy shit, is that same the guy who played Doc Oc in Spiderman 2!?", and it was! (Alfred Molina)
7:38 love how they just jam it in and adjust instead of carefully fitting it đđ€Ł
True story, my uncle was on this set as a still photographer⊠This will always be my favorite in the series ! Love this movie âŠ
Classic as always. Only one person can be Indiana Jones and that is Harrison Ford! Let's hope that the 5th movie will be good
I hope but if they have their way Iâm not sure it will be lol.
it won't lol
It won't
I think South Park is gonna make another raping episode
Not with Pheobe Waller Bridge involved
They way Harrison picked up Alfred from the hole, that was strong move.
He had to be strong to hold on to the front of the Army truck and rappel underneath it
I'm glad they cut these scenes from the movie
It slows the general continuity of the film.
The scenes where Spielberg appears to direct the actors who had forgotten their lines and motivation were great to see!
I'm reading the novelization of this and I recognize some of the outtakes/deleted scenes that happen in the book!đ€Łđ
Loved the scenes, thanks!
That music was obnoxious though.
You can hear another reason why they redo their dialogue afterward. Stomping around on the 'cave' floors reveals they are just plywood covered in dirt.
Raiders 'Map leads to hidden entrance'
Last Crusade 'Map leads to tourist attraction'
Wow. Never saw bloopers and outtakes of my favorite movie. Super cool.
Not Harrison actually taping Steven Spielbergs mouthđđ
Background music is too loud
No, it was NOT inspired by James Bond, Spielberg wanted to direct a Bond movie but Lucas said he had something even better he could direct instead - Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
The most handsome actor in the history of movies.
Back when movies were still made on location. Now, everything is green screened, and computerized. It's just not the same.
Incredibly hard work making such a film! Spielberg and great actors make it seem easy!
I was in 8th grade and got to see a screening in San Francisco, and I distinctly recall the deleted periscope scene, although I think scenes of him clinging and suffering through a storm. My favorite movie!
Karen Allen was and still is a stunning woman.
she's a rare beauty.
Wow this is fantastic! These deleted scenes and outtakes and bloopers, and this was what 1980? I love finding videos like this on CZcams. And raiders is one of my favorite movies.
What a piece of gorgeous man Harrison ford was. Stunningly handsome.
This was so great to see. One of my favourite films ever!
"I love you" auf den Augenliedern. Super Idee!
L'absence du merveilleux duo Marion/Indie, dans les Ă©pisodes suivants, a beaucoup nuit Ă la qualitĂ© de cette sĂ©rie de films.đź
To all yâall interested (and too young to simply know this) the film is called Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It was only on DVD rereleases (subsequent to the two sequels) that they added the âIndiana Jones and theâŠâ part, as that was the titling format for those two films.
But at the time of the release of the original, nobody would have heard of the character, and it wouldnât have made any sense.
And for some reason it bugs me when I see âIndiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.â
Just bugs me.
Get a life. And it wonât bug you anymore đ
Dude, everyone here know the name of the movie. Plus, it's in the title of this video. (also in the movie)
"But at the time of the release of the original, nobody would have heard of the character, and it wouldnât have made any sense." - this is an absolutely logical thing, which does not need to be explained to anyone (who has common sense).
Needless comment
@@DrJones20 indeed
@dacsus
Some people still think it has Indiana Jones in the title. It's annoying because they properly think I'm lying. Like why would I even?
Belloq being dressed while preparing to perform the ceremony, reminds me of the Witch King of Angmar getting the same treatment, before leading the charge from Minas Morgul in Return of the King.
I saw this the first night in was in the theatres. It was a helluva lot of fun for the audience, especially being the first to see it. What a blast!
8:05 which is exactly why Sean Connery was cast as his father in Last Crusade in spite of the 12 year difference between him and Harrison Ford, because Lucas felt who better to play Indy's father than the original James Bond.
Wait I thought the story was that Harrison got sick during the day they were filming the fight with the swordsman, so they changed the scene to have him draw his gun and shoot him. Here we see incomplete pieces of film for a proper fight between them. I thought they changed the scene before any filming began.
Thinking same. Looks like they limited the retakes because of his condition. No more with the whip, let me just shoot him.
Amazing! Thank you very much!
Steven had a lot of patience and a great director.
Karen Allen fu incredibilmente strepitosa e altrettanto sottovalutata da Hollywood
Amazing to see there was a sequence with him hanging on to the periscope. Maybe it was better to leave it out, but I liked to see that they at least filmed it.
"This is gold Jerry ..... Gold!!" :V
Harrison's laugh is everything I needed to hear today đ€
A young Alfred Molina (aka Doc Oct for our younger viewers) at the start, great movie, love Karen Allen.
I've seen this movie so many times. First time I've seen this stuff! This is awesome!
Such an amazing classic Harrison is a legend
I like the scene where he shoots the swordsman. He's telling the viewer âyou want action? Yeah look elsewhereâ
Very surprised they really had the arab guy stand so close to the whip ... it could have cut his flesh easily .... that really shows how skillful Harrison was with his whip ...
Simply the best Indiana jones movie
Ford seems so happy in these. Like he was actually having fun while making movies. I know he never really wanted to be an actor to begin with, but it's like Hollywood pressured him into so many roles over the years that he lost any joy for filmmaking.
He never cared too much for his Han Solo character (even though WE loved him) but he did and does love Indy. Here's hoping that number 5 will be as good as the first 3 and lightyears better than number 4...
I think what he didn't like was the whole celebrity thing and how big SW got
He became really jaded when his ex an ET screenwriter took half his billion dollar fortune in the divorce. Then he turned into a guy who didn't want to be there.
@@steveconn Melissa Matheson
Oh my..Harrison Ford..member of stallone the Expendables and the Greatest Indiana Jones ever! Legendary Action Hero with charismađ.
Interesting that the marketing design was far enough along to have Spielberg wearing a branded hat during filming.
Also, love the âStar Warsâ hat too.
Haven't seen this movie in a long time. I'd forgotten how many amazing English actors there are.
Sure would have been nice to hear what was going on in half these scenes, without the overpowering music that added nothing.
Added nothing, and even detracted from a couple scenes.
My best friend and I were bored and saw an article in the newspaper about a movie opening for a one day screening called Raider's of the Lost Ark. We thought it was a documentary about finding the Ark of the Covenant. Boy, were we wrong.
Ford was the perfect choice for the fm but it was a happy accident as Tom Selleck would have been Indy if it wasn't for the Magnum P. I pilot being unexpectedly picked up by a network and him being contractually obliged to do it.
Incidentally I believe there's an outtake where John Rhy Davies has an upset stomach (as did much of the cast and crew) when filming in North Africa and he inadvertently had a trouser accident when filming a scene in wihe has to bend over. I. Also surprised to see the whip v swordsman fight here as I was always led to believe it wasn't filmed due to Ford being unwell on the day of filming, although on this evidence it looks like maybe they only filmed part of it before Ford felt unwell.
In an alternate universe Tom Selleck is Indiana Jones
