- Full first ten minutes of the Iconic film. We do not own this film, but are using it for our screenwriters training. We had trouble finding this as one clip, so hopefully its useful to someone.
Feel free to comment if you like Indy after all these years - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Doctor Octopus betraying Indiana Jones
Dr Octopus. Brilliant but lazy.
Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift for the good of mankind.
@@itsshafin8312
Brilliant but lazy
Woah you're right I never realized!
He was better in Identity
God bless John Williams. As good as this opening scene is, it was made legendary thanks to Williams' music throughout.
God bless Steven Spielberg as well
That theme as they're moving through the trees and it's just building to showing Indy's face is perfect
Why’s John Rhys-Davies name all the way with Ronald Lacey’s instead with Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and Paul Freeman’s?I felt like he had an important part.
This movie is absolutely brilliant... in every way, on every level.
I cannot disagree.
The cinematography is stunning
Spielberg's last great movie.
Oh come on Jurassic Park 1, Saving Private Ryan?
@@Ay3shizzle I watched both of those recently (and ET as well) and I couldn't finish any of them. The characters are too overblown. I think it fit the style at the time but I don't think they hold up. Sad too because I loved JPark when it came out.
Greatest hero introduction in film history.
@-it’s W couldn’t agree more
He became a hero during the movie but at the first part he is just an archeologist that wants to make money with things he’s stole from other countries kkk. But the movie is really great !!
@@carlossilva8087
That’s a good point, Indy’s not really the typical selfless, ultra masculine hero-especially for the 1980s
I’ll go further: Greatest first scene in film history, although the bank heist at the beginning of “The Dark Knight” is a close second.
This film is lightyears beyond what Hollywood churns out today.
Especially lightyears beyond Dial of Destiny
ABSOLUTELY !!!!
- This “new generation of movies HAVE NO TRUE INTELLECT STORY CONTENT”, ALL “JUST ACTION”; NO Brains needed !!!! 😏😏
its visual storytelling at its best. thats why it is still so fresh
Here’s some fun facts about this scene:
-It says “South America, 1936”, but it doesn’t note that the temple is specifically in Peru.
-The full name of the Golden Idol is the “Chachapoyan Fertility Idol”, housed inside the “Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors”. Both of which were created around 64 BC by the Chachapoyans (who would end up being conquered by the Incas). The Hovitos (the people with the bows and stuff) accompanying Belloq are descendants of the of the Chachapoyas.
-The idol is based on Pachamama, the Goddess of Fertility and Earth.
-Once you look closer at the idol, you’ll see it shows a goddess-like figure giving childbirth in a kneeling position.
-The giant rolling boulder is made of fiberglass, and the sound of it rolling is a Honda Civic driving over gravel (slowed down).
-Those spiders are specifically Mexican red-knee tarantulas; the species is actually relatively tame. Around two dozen of them were on Molina (who played Satipo)! During the first few takes, all of them were completely still, which made them look fake. Once it was discovered all of the tarantulas were male, they decided to add one female, which finally got them to move! Molina also got itchy because of the tarantulas’ irritating hairs (New World tarantulas have “irritating hairs”).
-If you listen, Ford mispronounces Satipo’s name as “Sapito”.
If anyone can think of some more, let me know :)
As far as I'm aware the idol is based on a figurine from Mexico (then again this is the same franchise that thinks Maya are related to the Nazca in any way)
Nope, its based on the Chachapoyan Idol. It is referenced in Belloqs map. You can look it up in wikipedia@@forodinssake9570
Yea but I'm more concerned about the donkey tied up at the tree
Arguably the greatest opening scene in movie history. Thanks for posting!
David Smith 2001: A Space Odyssey
Stat Wars
Star
Star lord in GOTG
Peter Parker ugh a marvel fan
Spielberg is a genius. This opening 10 minutes is escapists film making on the highest level possible.
I just had to wonder.
Had George Lucas convinced Spielberg to direct the new Star Wars trilogy. It would had been awesome.
Lucy’s sold Star Wars to Disney.
Jurassic park is my favorite Steven Spielberg film of all times
Person: “Two tickets for Cats”
Movie Theater Employee: 3:51
My favorite thing is how they keep him all hidden, not talking or even showing his face, until he draws his whip and disarms the traitor. Then you get to see him in full. Great opening scene, especially since there's very little dialogue. All you get told is where it is, the year, and then the poison dart thing. The shown stuff tells you that they are looking for something in an ancient jungle.
And then the escape. Everything's great (Although the door does close hella slow on him ;) )
Why didn't he duck under that rolling rock, let it go past him, trigger everything and then follow behind it? Watch again. There was room to maneuver.
@@benjaminmarcus17 because then the Boulder would block the entrance to the temple therefore blocking Jones’ escape and he would never get out
@@supergamerhell5110 How do you know??!?!??A? Were you there????!?!?!? Oh you could be right. Thanks.
@@benjaminmarcus17 your welcome for the alternate outcome
And the music when we first see his face almost makes Indy out to be a villain. Love it!
this movie is 40 y old and you can still enjoy watching it like it was released 5 years ago
That’s why it remains a timeless classic
And I'm just a little older than this film! Born in very late '79!
@@victorm152 The word “timeless” is what separates Raiders from Jaws. Don’t get me wrong, Jaws is a fantastic movie and it holds up well today. It’s just dated and very slow.
True classic!!
Why is this movie not pg 13
Even when he was younger, Doc Ock was plagued by spiders.
Iconic scene, but let’s take a minute to recognize how amazing John Williams’ score is in this movie!
2:59 The part where Indy lashes his whip at Barranca to make him drop his gun and when it makes that loud CRACK! is absolutely incredible.
It was added sounds, like the kookaburra at the start.
@@btf_flotsam478 lol, dude, virtually ALL sounds in ALL movies are added in post production, thats absolutely standard :D They did a superb job with the foley work in this movie though.
.... but why did Barranca turn on Indy??
@@groofoot He was probably after the map that led to the idol for himself.
I was lucky (and old) enough to see this in the theater as a kid! I will never forget this and E.T.
Hard to imagine that the film is 40 years old next year.
Need an honest answer here. Did you nearly cry when they found ET in the creek and thought he was dead?🤔 l know l nearly did.😂
I can't watch ET anymore. Hasn't aged well, imo. This movie I can watch forever.
@@dantrim3937 What? E.T. Is still a classic!
@@ultragoji6332 I put it on recently. I couldn't get through 15 minutes of it. It was good for it's time, but it seems silly now.
2:53 - 3:13 that part is the best character introduction ever in Hollywood
The way he turned his head to show the audience that he noticed the gun loading sound, followed by an incredible aimed whip with his whip, to make him drop his weapon and flew, and then he steps outside of the shadows and shows himself. That facial expression is the most badass ever lol
Do not mess with Indy
@@jamestropicals8262 unless your his father
Best character intro in any movie is Harry Lime (Orson Welles) in "The Third Man".
Amazing! Just want to give credit to young Alfred Molina here. Such a good performance.
Feels weird to see him as a greedy, cowardly young idiot after seeing him as a witty, clever and relatively kind middle-aged scientist or bishop.
I just love when Indy turns back and snaps his whip at the guy who was trying to shoot him
The boulder should've gotten an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Wow, that looks like a real jungle!! How did you achieve this level of realism?
"We shot the scene in the jungle." Guerilla filmmaking, 1981
I've been to the set in Mexico where they filmed Predator. You can't replicate that kind of ambience in a studio.
"They didn't filmed JAWS on a swimming pool" - Denis Villeneuve
The “Golden Idol” scene itself takes place in Peru, but they actually filmed the jungle scenes in Hawaii, and in a natural setting
Check out "Aguirre: The Wrath of God" and "Fitzcarraldo", both by Werner Herzog
fake jungle... that iconic "jungle bird" sound is Kukabooras which only live in Australia, and which has barely has any jungle at all.
4:35 Today they'd use CGI for the spiders. Actors had true balls back then.
first snakes, then bugs, then rats
Ugh tarantulas are not dangerous
at 4:13 if you look look closely they are already on his back
Today they’d CGI everything. They’d just the actors pose in front of a green screen. That’s why I love the movies from the 80s and 70s. You know they were always on a physical set, and all the effects and other things were real objects you could touch.
*they’d have. Sorry
Fun fact they had to get a female spider to make all of the male spiders to clump together on poor Alfred Molina’s back.
Huh, I didn’t know that. Also, those are Mexican Red-Knee Tarantulas, which is actually a pretty tame spider
He sure didn't look too happy about having them there tame or not. Dropping character a bit and glancing off to his left at someone off camera like, bro that spider was not meant to move like that. It was the only moment of this 10 minute sequence that wasn't absolutely perfect.
“Indy edges into the chamber with his back to the shaft of light. Soon he is face to face with the dead Satipo; spikes protrude from several vital spots in the Peruvian’s body. Indy removes the idol from Satipo’s pocket and moves quickly out the other side.”
-Excerpt from the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK script by Lawrence Kasdan
My favourite film of all time... its just perfect from start to finish
I never get bored of watching this movie
I can't believe this is 40 years old, One of my favorite movies of all time.
No CGI thats why. Everything is practical effects
The Paramount logo fades in the beginning of the scene and the actual peak appears. That was genius. Sound effects are great present at almost every scene.
I liked the sound effect of the Australian kookaburra in the South American jungle several times in the first few minutes.🤭
In my opinion, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws remain the greatest thrillers in movie history to this day. Spielberg for the win.
I would include Duel as well
Also, they both have John Williams’s music
No CGI. True cinema.
Scenes like this, and the massive sets they used to use to create them, is literally what inspired me to study film. Too bad the industry is mainly shot in front of green screens, luckily there are many smaller film makers who still make films shot in real locations. Sadly, i think the days of real location block busters is over. No one’s gonna massively fund a movie to shoot in real locations all across the globe when they could do it all with one green screen.
Cartoon Judge! C.G. You realize practical effects don’t have to risk anyone’s life, right? And stuntmen literally make a career off of doing that shit professionally. And I’m absolutely fine with filmmakers combining cgi with practical, but seeing so many movies that are literally almost all green screen is getting sickening.
I can guarantee you have never worked on a film production before.
I will like to note something: the added kookaburra noise immediately broke my suspension of disbelief. (It really made me assume it was in Australia, but it's shattered by every piece of information saying it's not in Australia.)
I’m in my fifties. This is just as thrilling now as it was when I watched it in the theatre as an eleven-year old.
Absolutely everything is perfect.. especially THE SOUND EFFECTS! Even as a kid I was in love with how shoes, dirt, and booby traps sound in the cave. Even the sand when Indy is judging the weight is perfect.
Well, ... the corpse puppets were a bit on the rubbery side.
I think that this remains the best film ever made. It is sublime from start to finish.
The guy who tried to take the statue I didn’t know it was Alfred Molina. I have the three box set of the movies. They never get old.
His name is Satipo
@@Neilapolitan08 duh dude
Yep .... I've been jealous of him ever since he got to bang Natasha Henstridge in the first 'Species' movie ..... sure, she ate him afterward, but .... meh, still worth it. ;-)
I love how this whole opening reflects the rest of the movie. Indy goes through all this, just to surrender the prize to Belloq and walk away with nothing for his troubles
I know.. and after almost being killed many times! It was such a shame.
Satipo: friend of yours? Jones: A competitor. He was good. He was very very good. Satipo: Senor, no one has come out alive. Please?
Then .... when they enter ..... very seriously, he stiffens, and says, 'Senor!' .... then, enter the tarantulas ....! 8-D
The greatest opening sequence in cinematic history
This is both the best intro to an action movie of all time and the best short movie of all time: ten minutes of solid gold casting, angles, editing, ideas-script, music, etc; EXCITEMENT
This is easily one of the best movies of all time
Yep .... top 5 of all time in my book .... along with the original Silence Of The Lambs, the first Rocky, and a couple others ....
This opening is the best in history
I had a Geologist Professor that searched for Treasures.
Geologists look for rocks brah.
Geology is the study of pressure and time
@@noominiacal Maybe his professor looked for treasures too...brah
Raiders and the Last Crusade were my all time favorites. Adios Sopito, brilliant!
Now THIS is Indiana Jones
i was 10 opening day in 1981 saw it with friends then went back twice with mom and dad
i could watch this a hundred times and still watch it again..nothing has surpassed this superb adventure film...First film i ever saw at the cinema and has stuck with me ever since.
Always liked this movie and the series.
I don't get how you can go from the greatest and most iconic opening scene in movie history to "ANYTHING GOES"
What?
@@WonkiWeaboo He's talking about the opening of Temple of Doom.
Am I the only one who remembers grabbing his hat on the sliding door and not his whip
Second film he grabs his hat if I remember correctly!
bigboiyes _45 that’s the second film my dude
Temple of doom sliding door scene.
@R4- P17 damn I was just about say in Simpsons Bart parodies it but it's the hat grab from Doom
R4- P17 one of the best Simpson’s parodies, love it
One of my favorite movie moments in cinema history.
Made my hair stand on end...
3:04 one of the greatest action hero introductions
Never ever get better than this opening scene
All these years and it still stands out such a thrill ride from beginning to end. Best adventure movie series 😄🤠😄
4:47 It was at this moment that Doc Oc Knew,
He Hated Spiders.
Harrison, Alfredo, John and Steven. And Lucasfilm effects. Incredible.
I remember seeing this back in the 80's when I was a kid when it first came out and being absolutely blown away right from the beginning.
The opening scared the shit out of me.
@@tomvandl kinda did cause I never had seen Han Solo give a look like that
9:13 fames scene in movie history
Opening:
One of the greatest opening's in cinema history
Steven Spielberg:
One of the greatest directors in cinema history
John Williams:
One of the greatest composers in cinema history
Movie:
One of the greatest movies of all time
I love the music in the opening scene!!
This is the greatest opening scene in movie history. Period.
This first 10 minutes was the perfect template for every adventure movies that came afterwards
I love when Indy turns right and whips the guys away
Steven:"We need to do that shot again. Can someone get another bucket of spiders for Alfred!"
I feel bad for Alfred Molina. His first day on set and he had to be covered in tarantulas.
My favorite part of any movie, ever. I wish they'd make an entire movie with this type of feel.
Remembered going with my parents to see this movie when I was a kid, one of my earliest cinematic experiences!
I was babysitting for my friend. Her son is 7. I showed him this and Goldfinger back to back. He said 'Iron Man isn't as cool as either of them'
Nuff said.
That kid got talent and will go far in life
You can't beat Indiana Jones and Sean Connery's 007.
@@geraldjohnson4013and then the genius idea of making arguably two of the most iconic characters father and son
Funny how so many films use the Kookaburra cry despite the settings obviously not being in Australia
But jungle
I didn’t realize Satipo was Alfred Molinda until I saw one of the comments. Wow! (I previously only knew him as Doctor Octavius from Marvel)
5:15 LMAOOOO this bit killed me as a kid for some reason
Deffo one of the best films ever. It's a bit relentless for a kids film . However found out via a mate of mine. He was related to Pat Roach. Two fights in this. Temple of Doom as well.😃
The single most best opening to an advantage film ever created!! Nothing like it before or since. Cinema magic
John Williams rules this entire sequence
Spielberg is a true filmmaker, not just talking heads and filming the actors.
“Now hand me the whip!”
Drops it
“Butterfingers”
Everything in this movie is brilhant and memorable!
Very exciting as a kid i watched those Jungle Jim shows on Saturday mornings. This reminded me of Jungle Jim.
If I was Sapito’s place during the tarantula part I would have had a panic attack, I’m so arachnophobic
Would have died of heart failure. Red Foxx would have nothing on the big one I would have.
That's me in Temple of Doom, pal; most insects give me instant panic/diarrea/nausea
Compare this to the latest film...make you want to weep 😢
.... or compared to KOCrystal Skull .... with that pathetic punk Shia LeBoeuf .... (sp)
This is interesting way to write, they tell you whats happening in Indy's head through the people around him. Indy touches the dart 1 second, knows the story walks off.
Instead of impressing the audience with Indy's knowledge by making him say it, it becomes a mere reflex of knowledge making Indy look way bigger.
4:30 Imagine Indy if it would have been snakes.
08:14 From Raiders to Boogie Nights to Spiderman, Alfred Molina is always pulling crazy shenanigans. ;D
Awwww, back when Indiana Jones movies actually looked real
And thanks Mr Williams for the song ..make this movie so unbelivable!
Can hear all the swamp sound effects used in Star Wars Empire strikes back ;)..........Nice touch George
Ben Burtt did sound effects for both films.
Can't think of a greater opening sequence; just brilliant. Rivets you to your seat right away.
(I do think a solid gold idol of that size could have used more, not less sand in the bag to equal its weight. Not to correct the great Dr. Jones ...)
Agree. They should have used a bag of lead shot. "Satipo, give me the bag of lead shot."
Yes, agree, but perhaps he knew/thought it wasn't solid.
VHS. Spring of -84. This was awesome for me as a kid. Enjoyed the teaser trailer at the beginning: Temple Of Doom "comiing...summer of -84".
5:19
Holy fuck I remember this scene traumatizing me and not being able to look at this scene again for years! Well I just watched it again for the first time in forever and wtf how was I so scared of this 🤣
Bro, same. Now it just looks fuckin weird
Best action movie intro ever! Jonny Weiss “Back to Phoenix.” 🎶
So this is what inspired Bart to steal from Homer. :)
The origins of Otto Octavius lol
The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.
Monday 11th December 2023. To me "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will always be the best in the Indiana Jones series. My favourite scenes are the ones where Indy is either with Marion Ravenwood or Sallah. They really are such wonderful friends. Thank you Steven Speilberg, Geroge Lucas and everyone else who worked on these films. You are all Superstars. From Virginia Clark.?! ;) :( :) 🤠🐪🐫🐴🌍🌎🌏🌠
The Lasso whip!
The plotline mentions that in this opening scene, Indy is looking for an archaeological site in the jungles of northern Peru, home of the Chachapoya culture. Peru is featured again in the Crystal Skull.
This makes sense, as one of the main influences on George Lucas's creative process was the archaeologist Hiram Bingham, who rediscovered Machu Picchu in Cuzco (Peru).
so good
you come here from that reddit thread, too?
@@fatmic79 no I just wanted to see it again lol
That whip strike sounds like lightening.
Anyone watching this while or after building their lego temple of the idol? Its a great scene perfect for converting into lego.
creepy setting , animal sounds and music the lot is perfect !!!
I never knew until recently that the actor who played Satipo is the same man who played the villain in Spider-Man, Dr. Octavius.
You can see the Idol's eyes follow Indy at 7:03
It was really cool seeing alfred molina aka doctor octopus this was his first movie he made, he was the last person he was with indiana jones before he betrayed him opening scene
