Every once in a while your lost mind stumbles on a relic that needs to be shared immediately. This is one of those relics. “It belongs in a museum!”
Between the father’s soft pleas and the outpouring of support I received in my last post, I am quite moved this morning. Thank you sincerely; may you find your own treasure, and some peace this weekend, intrepid explorer.

Indiania Jones was the first ever movie character I ever said was my hero as a kid, and he still is today. Sean Connery was the perfect choice to play Henry Jones Sr., he and Harrison Ford had such great chemistry together and the father/son relationship did feel very real. That moment where Hery subtly tells Indy the physical Grail doesn’t matter was the last bit of healing to their relationship, and for the first time in a long time they realized what was really important. I’ve loved all of Indy’s adventures, and yes that includes the much-lauded Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls; and I still need to see Dial of Destiny.
A worthy hero! To me Indy is the perfect blend of action hero and scholarly enthusiasm. He’s so passionate about history and archaeology, and wields the pragmatism and athleticism to see it’s preservation through. I also still need to see Dial of Destiny. And I love you take on Jr. and Sr.’s relationship, especially as it pertains to this scene.
Indiana Jones has the best adventure theme of all time. Hope it continues to inspire.
Agreed. Iconic!
you’re right: it’s an amazing scene: craftily choreographed compilation of cupidity, chaos and capitulation 🙂
Yes – those components are superb. Choreography is an underrated talent department with movies. Not even flashy choreography like I tend to edit, but *invisible (designed to be unnoticed), intricate scene blocking such as this.. it’s easy to take for granted, and certainly the department where a vast majority of new filmmakers fail. Most audiences only recognize it when they DON’T see it. I digress. But you’re great comment got me thinking!
thank you: I love that sequence —
sorry: my alliteration got the better of me: it’s a beast I have not yet tamed 🙁
I am so delighted to see and feel your heart relieved, mate. Indy, and not Junior, is the goal.😉🤠 Have a lovely weekend, my friend.🤙🖖
I love that moment in the Last Crusade!
The Last Crusade was a fitting conclusion to the Indiana Jones saga, recovering from the slight stumble that was Temple of Doom. Good thing they didn’t try to cash in on Indy by making more movies decades later. Yup.
😆
Haha yep. While not as egregious as Toy Story 4 (after the perfect ending of 3), Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny do seem unnecessary… And the 3 is an important number right. Cuz the *trilogy is golden (for whatever reason beyond my comprehension) it just is.
Indy is great and also big part of my childhood. I was born in 1975 and I remember very well how confused I was in some of those early years which one came first. Raiders of the Lost Ark or Temple of Doom. Also, even though today I don’t know why exactly, Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back. Could be that in both cases I became aware of the franchise only when the second movie came out and I could have initially seen them out of order.
Similar for me with Terminator – I saw T2 first and for many years understood it only as The Terminator, and didn’t know there was a first film in the series… As far Star Wars, I blame George Lucas the confusion… Who starts a saga with “Episode IV!?”🙃 … I must also tell you, our face-swap project is not going to happen (for now, at least). This is my personal reason for this post. The face-swap was to be ‘the holy grail’ of this project. But I realized this past weekend, it is too much work and I have too much responsibility to care for my family right now. I must let this go.
No worries. There’s always tomorrow and AI tools are getting better by the day. You should absolutely prioritize your family in the time like this.
Great scene you chose. It almost makes me want to start watching the films again.
I think I saw Indiana Jones shooting up heroin in the darkened opening of a doorway in some forgotten alley in Kuala Lumpur. Then again, it could have been a man with a similar hat.
Indy would never stoop to heroin. He would however pound an entire bottle bourbon and cut his face at any local gin-joint between Colorado and Bangladesh.
💯
Raiders was the first movie I saw at the cinema by myself. I was 14 – arguably the perfect age to see it in those days. It made me excited in a way few movies have come close to since and cemented my love of cinema.
This was me, by the way…
I really want to dress up as Indiana Jones for Halloween at some point.
