My power just went out 30 minutes ago. Son of a…. !!!!!!!

Everyone knows Harrison Ford became a household name as Han Solo. But I think this is the role that cemented his legacy as one of the most bankable movie stars in Hollywood. And this put another notch on Spielberg’s legendary cinematic resume. Welcome to LiteWeight Reacting Indy!

Dan M

That sucks Larry! I know you’ve been pushing hard for Teegan to react to this series. Keeping my fingers crossed that the power comes back soon. Go grab a whip and give your electric panel a snap.

Larry Darrell

Hah! If only it were that easy. Heard the transformer blow. I’m on a small grid, so not “important” enough, and it usually takes all day. I can literally see the lights two houses down, the power is still on, and the next street over still has power. If it were night, the street light across from my house would be on right now. This happens all the time, and I swear I think this power grid is held together with popsicle sticks and chewing gum.

I cannot wait to watch this with you later.

I can't imagine Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones anymore than I can imagine anyone else as Thomas Magnum. It was meant to be and my childhood was the happier for it. Also, Kingdom of the Crystal was not very good, in my opinion, either. So, your not alone there. There are really only three Indiana Jones films. The last two, especially "The Dial of Dysentery", came from some strange parallel universe or something. Just ignore them. And, you are exactly right about John Rhys-Davies being Gimli, so great catch there. By the way, he also appears in "The Last Crusade", which is the third film in the series.

2 houses down is near enough that you could get some cables from the DIY place...just saying.... ;)

I think it was his review of this movie where Roger Ebert said Ford's star quality is his ability to be the "calm center of the action".

Larry Darrell

My neighbor who lives next door, who lives next to the house with power, hates this even more. I may have a talk with him. ;-)

Definitely watch the OG trilogy of the Indy movies. They're still so much fun to watch to this day. Even tho some people say that Temple of Doom is the lesser of the trilogy, it's still worth watching. I can't wait to see your reaction to these films!

Nice reaction

Brian's Dog

For sure watch the next two. Temple of Doom is my favorite but it was my first one I saw in theaters. All three movies are up there in my very top favorites, right behind the Star Wars Trilogy. You are watching them in the best order.

Believe it or not, Sallah (his Egyptian friend) was Gimli the Troll in Fellowship of the Ring. Warehouse 13 was a great show and a great comparison!

Dan M

Time to take matters into your own hands and break into that grid…Raiders of the Downed Power Grid. Do you have a laptop that you can watch the movie on, and then sync up Teegan’s reaction on your cell phone?

Dan M

Love that quote. Ford proved that by taking out his gun and shooting that crazy guy with the sword instead of getting into it with him. 😂

Dan M

Tom Selleck may have looked the part in Indy’s hat and clothes, but he could never match Harrison Ford’s charm, charisma, and gruffness.

Larry Darrell

Absolutely watch all 3… Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. No Question about it. I’m watching tonight… is she wondering if she’s watching in the right order? I watched a reactor who watched the films in chronological order, starting with Temple of Doom, and it was horrible. They knew the basic things about Indiana Jones, and were confused by starting with Temple. Then went into Raiders wondering if certain people and things from Temple were going to be in Raiders and was comparing Raiders to Temple the whole time. People who do this are completely misinformed. Raiders of the Lost Ark was made on its own, and Temple was never on Spielberg’s, Lucas’, or Kasdan’s mind when making Raiders. There was no large plan. Release order is always the way to go.

Larry Darrell

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s back on now. I’m used to it at this point. I was pretty sure it would be back on by tonight. Found out someone ran into a pole a few streets over. Watching tonight. :-) And if I’m watching Indiana Jones, I’m watching on 4K, Big Screen and Surround Sound. Just because I’m watching a reaction don’t mean the quality of my film experience goes down. ;-)

The first one (Raiders) and the third one (Last Crusade) are generally considered the two best and are basically on the same level - some people prefer Raiders while others Last Crusade but, generally speaking most people rank those two highest - I give both an A+. The second one (Temple of Doom) is a bit more love it or hate but as a whole is still on the same basic level as the other two - I'm guessing you'd still really enjoy it. I give it an A. Crystal Skull is definitely the low point of the franchise - it just used too much CGI and it went too far into the direction of ridiculous. There isn't much I can say to redeem that one. - This one gets a D. The fifth and most recent film (Dial of Destiny) is, in my opinion, much better than it got credit for. I personally think it was a great send off for the character. It's not perfect but it's way better than a lot of people will try to lead to believe. Unfortunately, as is so often the case lately, it got a lot of bad reviews from bots and basement dwellers who were upset that it includes a strong female character. I give it a B+.

Ron White

I am old enough to have seen this when it originally premiered in theatres in 1981. You are right about it invoking a sense of nostalgia. I remember being influenced to see it because it was the cover story on every national news magazine, newspaper and newscast in the country on its' opening weekend. You did not have the massive and fractured media of today and you were buying into a shared fun cultural experience that simply can not be replicated on this scale anymore.

Riggo 82

Yeah, Harrison Ford took the role and made it his. Enough said.

Dan M

I hear ya. I’m getting ready to watch now. I’ve got the big screen in the living room, my feet up, and my Vitamin Water next to me. Just can’t use the surround sound tonight because the wife already went to bed.

Dan M

“How do you know which hole to put it in?” 🤣🤣🤣 Great reaction, Teegan! So glad you enjoyed it and understand why it is such a beloved movie. I do consider this movie a classic because of the nostalgia, the memories, and the sense of adventure it invokes. Absolutely watch the next two movies in the original trilogy, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You’ve already seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so no need to revisit that one. And you can skip Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny…it’s not a bad movie, it’s just nowhere near the caliber of the first three.

Larry Darrell

If you loved Raiders, then you absolutely MUST WATCH the next two. They are a Trilogy. Not a planned trilogy that ties up one big story (or is it? More on that later, wink ;-). Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade bring more of what you loved in Raiders, and then some. You ain’t hurting my feelings by joking on Crystal Skull. I saw it in the theater, hated it, and have never watched it again. I tried watching it a few years ago, got about 20 minutes in and gave up. It and especially the newest one, Dial of Dysentery, did not come close to the original trilogy. And the way they make modern films is one of the main reasons, I believe. Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark (which I have probably seen more than any other film, and it never gets old. Same for whole trilogy.), I can’t help but say every time, “They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.” They really don’t. Not to be too long winded, I’ll say the main issue is the reliance on CG. In the age of the 70s and 80s, filmmakers had to be creative in order to achieve special effects. They used in camera tricks and practical effects. If something was in the script that was impossible to create realistically, then it was removed. Nowadays there are no limits to what you can create, because everything can be created with CGI. But just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. CGI has taken the creativity out of films, and seems to be the main focus, over the story. No matter what kind of special or visual effects a film has, if there isn’t a well written, compelling story, then it just becomes a bunch of meaningless flashes of light. Light that isn’t even real, because it was created in a computer. As awesome as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is, if it had been made 10, 20, 30 years earlier, I say it still would have been a classic, because the story was there. That’s why older films like Raiders of the Lost Ark are so damn fantastic. It’s a fun, entertaining, well written script (shout out to Lawrence Kasdan :-), with real lighting, real practical special effects, real miniatures, shot on real film stock… no green screen in sight. The last shot of the film, the wide shot of the Warehouse (13), was a real in camera shot. It was a matte painting that was inserted into the frame as the camera was rolling. That one shot was more realistic than anything from the beginning of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. To see the incredible lost art of Matte Painting, watch Black Narcissus (1947). A film that is set entirely on a mountain top in the Himalayas, but was shot almost entirely in England on a soundstage, and you don’t even notice it. (and talk about Lighting and Coloring… oh boy, you gotta check it out ;-) In this digitally processed age of filmmaking, it’s so refreshing to still be able to see what we’ve forgotten and what is still possible. John Williams is the name of the composer you were trying to remember. (How could you forget ;-). Williams has created more iconic franchise themes than any other composer, I think. Jaws Star Wars Superman Indiana Jones Home Alone Jurassic Park Harry Potter The Man is Legend!! And of course, so is Spielberg… the King of the Long Shot. Check out these clips, from Raiders. We’ve already seen his masterclasses in Jaws and Jurassic Park. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - The Long Take | VashiVisuals Blog https://vimeo.com/69645030?fl=pl&fe=sh

It’s strange seeing the casting videos like that of Tom Selleck, and other films casting videos. As much as I like Tom Selleck, he was never meant to be Indiana Jones. His destiny was Thomas Magnum. Shame he never got to revisit Matt Quigley too. Next to Magnum, Quigley was probably his most natural fitting role, like Ford and Jones. I also saw a clip on YouTube recently with Kurt Russell auditioning for Han Solo, and then Harrison Ford’s audition of the same scene in comparison. Again, as much as I love Kurt Russell, it’s evidently clear that Harrison Ford knew who the character was and that he was the perfect actor for the role. https://youtube.com/shorts/IXMGd6uJXTU?si=NIc9S-wiqP9OLXSR

Great reaction!

scott osborne

you made me laugh so much i really loved your reaction ho btw the sound was perfect and i was hoping that you would work out that it was gimli much much sooner you said you watched crystle skull well thats the 4th film in witch i agree with you its ok the correct order is the temple of doom then raiders of the lost ark then the last crusade

Riggo 82

Agreed, Quigley Down Under is a very underrated film. And Kurt Russell would have been closer to Luke's age than Han's at that time, so no way would that have worked.

Larry Darrell

Just to clear things up, the Correct Order of the trilogy is… Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Temple of Doom (1984) The Last Crusade (1989) Any other order, including chronological is completely preferential. Release order is the way the films were intended by the creators.

John A

Another one the is in my top 10 movies of all time. two in a row wow The Godfather and now Raiders. Nice reaction. and Yes John Rhys-Davies (Sallah) was also Gimli in The Lord of The Rings movies. I met him this year and such a nice guy. He even did Gimli voice lines for me without even asking, as he signed my LOTR Bluray set and my Raider Laserdisc. YES must watch the next two movies. they are so much fun. Not a fan of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, there were some things I like, only Indy lol

John A

You cry for the Nazi Spy Monkey? he was not a good monkey. lol

George McCauley

It’s a great movie for sure. You should definitely watch the second and third Indiana Jones movies. Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade

Ian Forbes

Teegan, your description of the visual warmth and tone of older films is due to using actual film vs films made in the past 25+ years which are largely (and now fully) done on digital cameras (unless you’re an auteur filmmaker who can get studios to pay for film which is much more expensive). It’s sort of the vinyl vs CD audio comparison. Yes, the more modern techniques are clearer and provide higher possible clarity/definition, but there’s a warmth and character to the film grain and audio crackle of the prior ways. (I feel like this rant should end with me shooing kids off my lawn for some reason 😆). Also, you brought up the work of composer John Williams … and basically he’s done 90% of the most memorable film franchise scores and themes. Whether it’s Indiana Jones, Jaws, Superman, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, E.T., etc, etc, etc … if it’s a big, bold score that rattles in your head forever, there’s a huge chance it’s John Williams.

Jeff Turner

The Last Crusade is a banger! IMO Temple of Doom is not quite as strong, but it's true to the franchise and has some very good comedic moments for sure
