Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade UNEDITED REACTION (all access)

Wow, if you guys enjoyed the opening sequence of this and in light of the commentary on action in older movies, I am so curious to see how you'd react to Buster Keaton's The General (as well as the rest of his work)! Rewatching this after so many years, I was spotting so many callbacks to Keaton's work. Growing up on movies like this and Jackie Chan's action comedies, I was a Keaton fan long before I knew who Keaton was.

Definitely adding that to my list

Definitely my favorite Indiana Jones! In case you didn't know, the actor who plays young Indy at the beginning is River Phoenix, who was the older brother or Joaquin Phoenix. He was a big deal back in the day, but he died tragically of a drug overdose at 23. Probably my favorite movie of his is Stand By Me, which is a great adventure movie about of group of friends. You should check it out some time, especially if you end up doing Goonies.

I don't know if either of you guys has seen The Lost Boys but it's a horror/comedy vampire movie and in my opinion, one of the best out there, does have a bit of cheesiness to it but it came out in 1987.

would definitely recommend watching titanic at some point

Of all of them, Last Crusade is my fave. Connery is brilliant. I'm hoping the guys do The Rock at some point. CONNERY AND CAGE.

I liked to see your evidence for said conversation. Sounds like SJW crap trying to smear iconic movies like usual. You don't even support anyone on Patreon, I wonder how many times you have repeated the same crap on other reactors posts just to push your propaganda?

My favorite Indiana Jones movie! I just love the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, they're the perfect son/father duo.

The action in this is brilliant but it's also stylized specifically towards 1940s-1950s action movies. You can tell that in other things too like the use of maps to show travel. (And in action we had Bruce Lee upping the stunt game for everyone in the 1970s) What suffers also in translation in treatment of women, but we ignore it because...it is what it is. The movie was made when it was made and things were VERY different. But it's interesting to note things like... remember how angry Marion was in Raiders at Indy taking off on her. She said she was a child? And Indy said "You knew what you were doing"? George Lucas, Spielberg, and Kasdan had a conversation and Kasdan and Lucas were pushing for their "relationship" to have happened when she was 12 and he was 35. It was Spielberg who pushed for her to be older (15 and 25) and they ended up casting Karen who was 30. So the subtext didn't end up feeling so gross.

That building facade built into the cliffs is actually part of an abandoned city called Petra, in Jordan. It is called the treasury building - you CAN go visit ;)

How are you feeling about doing book reviews? You could do an all-time classic great movie starting Sean Connery that's based off a book and you could compare then. This movie of course is The Hunt for Red October and the Novel is by the late, great Tom Clancy
