Fair Use has a posse.

On the topic of danger, Raiders has my all-time favorite action movie exposition scene. It's the bit in the middle where the action slows down, and Indy & Sallah take the medallion to be translated. And what follows is a good 2-3 minutes of the most painful sort of exposition to shoehorn into a film: information that the HERO needs to hear, but the audience doesn't give a shit about. We don't care in the slightest how long the Staff of Ra has to be - but we do need to know how Indy learns that piece of relevant trivia. So what does Spielberg do? Bad dates. We see a bad guy pouring something suspicious into the bowl of dates at the top of the scene, and from then on, they become a Hitchcockian "bomb under the table." Through all the dialogue Indy has a date in his hand, and he keeps allmooostt eating it, then getting distracted and taking it away from his mouth. Death is so omnipresent that Indy can't even have a quiet chat without his life being threatened! And with this, Spielberg manages to add an element of danger and intrigue to even the most otherwise uninteresting of scenes. (And on top of that, it also manages to tie off the tiny subplot of the treacherous Nazi monkey, a micro-plot that 99% of directors would just abandon without bothering with resolution. Now that's economy in writing!)

Excellent analysis, and I'd make the comparison to the ice cream scene in Jurassic Park--it's one of the biggest character developing scenes in the film (showing us the heart & soul of Hammond) but also the most boring. It really just needed a shot or two of (even harmless herbivore) dinosaurs grazing nearby.

@@kevinmartin2961 Yeah, I feel like Spielberg really lost his touch for making great exposition scenes, as time went on. The one that always bothers me is in Last Crusade, where Indy & Donovan spend five minutes telling each other things they already know about Grail lore. And then Donovan buries the lede, not mentioning that Henry Sr is missing until the very end, for no reason except dramatic convenience. It's exactly the sort of lazy exposition one expects Spielberg to NOT do. :-( (And what's worse? He did the *exact same thing* in The Lost World! Several minutes of Malcolm & Hammond telling each other things they already know, before dropping the bomb that Sarah is missing. So lazy.)

To each his own. One could argue the medallion scene fits perfectly from a pacing perspective. Remember, there is danger even in that scene

There is one thing missing in this analysis and for me it is the most important point of Indiana Jones compared to most superhero movie heroes nowadays. And it is vulnerabilty. This is how a scene becomes dangerous. With Indidana Jones the audience always knows that he is overwhelmed, he is human and he is rather weak and in disadvantage to his enemies. Now with Captain America, there is not one scene where you feel that he is not in control or does not have the power to get out of it. The CGI does not help, making action scenes even more unrealistic and cartoonish. I do not fear for Captain America fighting 20 people with machine guns and karate skills, but I do fear for Indiana Jones when there is one snake. Another thing is that Indiana Jones runs from danger if possible, as we also would naturally do. He only confronts danger if there is no other way out and that makes him much more relateable than heroes who run towards danger, because it suggests invulnerability, and control. But watching people doing something they are comfortable to do without any stakes or risk is boring. INDIANA JONES is indeed the golden standard for not being boring.

A hero feels more real if they are beat down and can take the punches as well as give them. I know my two main examples may seem off as they deal with characters who are almost super human, but they also take a clear beating and it makes the action real and intense, I love it.

I disagree. The final confrontation in the Winter Soldier ( Bucky Vs Cap in the Helicarrier ) embodies most of what's being said in this video. We have two established characters with different objectives in a well-defined space. Cap is trying to put a computer chip into the mainframe which is at the center of the room while Bucky tries to kill him. The distance between Cap and the mainframe is the " victory / defeat gauge " presented in the video while the fact that the Helicarriers will soon be shooting millions is the steadily impending doom. Also, there's little to no CGI in this particular scene... and Cap saves day, yeah, but LOOSE the fight against Bucky and over the course of the combat he is shot, stabbed and punched viciously multiple times. He has little to no control over the situation in this scene. Also, like the video " Civil War : Marvel Strikes Back " says, there is a lot of character development integrated inside the fight choreography. The two characters have two distinct combat style and objectives.... TL,DR : You could have literally picked ANY superheroes, Marvel or DC, but Captain America's fight scenes ( especially the climaxes of his movies ) is not what you describe here.

That scene felt so perfect, with its blend of action, vertical elements, comedic relief, suspense, character development, foreshadowing, and over all camera work. Truly a gem in modern cinema.

Spider-man also gets his butt kicked much more than the other Spider-men. An issue I had with Andrew and Tom's portrayals of Spider-man is that it didn't feel like they could lose.

Great points. Clarity of the space is essential, and I think the biggest flaw of modern action movies. I like that you pointed out how the build up to the action scenes all build and establish character. They build up Indy's character, we root for him. They put him in a dangerous situation, we want him to win. They continue to make him lose, we get more anxious to see him pull through. He grabs his whip or hat at the very last moment, we breath a sigh of relief.

@Kevin_Street

Clarity of space is something that few action scenes have in modern movies. Practical effects force the director to have his scene take place in something like reality, because when you actually have to move a camera from point A to point B, it provides a built in perspective for the audience. We feel more like we're actually there inside the scene, watching Indy from ten or twenty feet away. Modern movies that have hundreds of cuts from many different perspectives (Michael Bay style live action as well as CGI) lose that sense of perspective and feel less enthralling.

That train scene in TLC is so great.

Missed one key point: a killer theme tune.

I think this explains why the final battle in Endgame is so thrilling, it's all so clear as the purple guy not getting near the golden glove, and he keeps getting closer to it.

"As exciting as this" [Has a heart attack watching Indy grab his hat again]. Valid point sir, well played

I think the big thing missing these days is realism. Which sounds pretentious, I know, but look at the two main battles in Captain America Civil War. The Airport Scene is big and bombastic and full of physical feats that are obviously ridiculous and impossible and we see people getting smacked around like action figures. The Final Fight between Steve, Tony and Bucky on the other hand, is on the ground, hand to hand, bloody and brutal. In the entirety of the airport sequence, I never once believed anyone was in any real danger. In the final fight, I actually believed for a split second that Captain America was going to decapitate Tony Stark. If you can’t feel the hits, it won’t feel captivating. The stakes have to be established AND relatable in order to make you invested in the scene. If you can’t imagine what you would do or how you would feel in the situation the characters are in, you won’t care. I don’t know what it’s like to be flung five hundred feet through several walls. But I can imagine what being repeatedly punched AGAINST a wall would feel like. The former will be impressive and meaningless, the latter will feel claustrophobic and helpless.

Rjkz ,bkfy lmfao, chill I loved Civil War, it used it’s action masterfully to convey the stakes and tone as intended for each action sequence. The airport scene is meant to be the fun setpiece that gets you into the theater where the final fight is meant to be the emotional climax that pays off the internal conflict. I’m just saying that most action scenes in modern blockbusters aren’t trying to make the audience feel suspense or danger, but there are plenty that are trying and just don’t know how to do it properly. The Russos very intentionally constructed their action sequences to meet the needs they set them up to have. The airport sequence was friends trying not to actually hurt each other (the end of the sequence is literally one member of Team Cap worried that part of Team Iron Man was seriously injured) but then in the final battle the stakes became personal and the action got real and bloody. I was actually giving the film a compliment.

That is kind of the point of the airport scene. It is a brawl, we know that the only one truly in danger is Bucky, because Black Panther wants to kill him, which is exactly why the scene is stuffed full of humour - and which is exactly why it is so shocking when the whole matter escalates and someone really guts hurt. And this is exactly the reason why the fight between Cap and Tony (who, in case you didn't notice, didn't really encounter each other directly on the airport once the fight starts) is the climax of the movie and not the battle at the airport. Because that's where the emotional core of the movie is. A better example from the MCU for a battle which means nothing is the final fight in Thor The Dark World. I mean, yes, the world is at stake, I know that at one level and yes, the whole dimension jumping is very creative, but it still feels like there is nothing at stake. And in this case the feel is not intentional, the movie just failed to make the audience invested in anything which is going on.

Neo gets absolutely worked in The Matrix. All these filmmakers understand that the audience has to believe that the character is in real danger to make a really exciting action sequence. The battle of the pixels that makes up a lot of "action" doesn't cut it.

The catacombs scene didn't work for me because the set-ups were transparent. He put the assault rifle down with one purpose - to use it later. There's no surprise when he picks it up and uses it later. It only works on one level, but the best set-ups are paid off in a surprising way and work on multiple levels. Die Hard is a perfect example of set-ups paying off in unexpected ways.

Your analysis pretty much contains the answer to that. What's missing in grandiose but boring set pieces is the "why"? Why is it important and to whom? Without this context all you see is just epic imagery and because epic imagery is everywhere nowadays it isn't really impressive anymore. On the other hand you have something like the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds where it's two people in a room talking and you're at the edge of your seat because you know doom is impending but first you don't know what it is and the scene continuously moves between "everything will work out fine" and "oh no, it's not gonna work out". In that sense, the opening of Inglorious Basterds (two people in a room talking) follows your fundamentals of action much more closely than the set pieces of many blockbusters nowadays.

Raiders of the lost ark is by far my first favorite movie of all time. It’s a constant chase with only a bit of time to catch your breath only to weave the plot tighter and then back to the race. It’s like throwing water on you in the heat. Cools you down but doesn’t cease the heat completely. That said the bridge scene in Temple of Doom is my favorite set up because you have a no way out scenario except to put the main character and the enemies all in the same danger. Meaning it’s not the bad guys that put him in the danger, they only blocked his way front and back so by cutting the bridge, Indy threatens everyone’s life. And the audience gets the option C out of the seemingly only A and B option. The calm before the storm, but made by choice-that’s what I love about Indiana Jones. He finds another option-similar to going under the truck in Raiders. He’s death defying!!!

Essential feature of an action sequence involving an iconic hero: Never leave the hat behind!

My old high school teacher loves Indiana Jones (although he's more of a Star Wars fan). We once had a meeting about my falling grades and, to motivate me, he used an analogy from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". He said he wanted more output from me and he would do everything to help, just as the guy from the movie said: "Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip". I pointed out that the guy who said that went back on his word. He gave me this stern look but then we both laughed like idiots. Despite all student/teacher issues, our mutual love of movies put us on good terms for much of high school.

"Raiders" stands out for many reasons. It was supposed to be like a B-movie, or matinée flick, but something magic happened: the script and the context of the film's release were a perfect match. It was really ahead of the curve. And this is where ALL adventure/action movies fail nowadays. Don't get me wrong, there are pretty good writers working on large budget movies, the problem is they are not encouraged to create something that goes beyond the craft. Whenever real risks are not taken and chances of failure get wiped out by box office numbers interference, things end up being stale. And there's proof leaps of faith are a must. Nobody, not even John Williams himself, could have predicted the storytelling power of the hypnotic "Ark Theme" from 15:22 to 22:30(not this KZread video, of course). That's where the gold is, a vast number of chances taken converging. People try to copy those seven minutes to this day, even without knowing it, but it's no formula, it's Art touching Entertainment. Another game changing example is "Fright Night" by Tom Holland(1985). Another one is "Mulholland Drive" by David Lynch(2001). The most important thing they have in common is they're fearless. Art likes fearless.

I think less is more, when it comes to action sequences. With terminator 2 for instance, my favourite scene is the dirt bike being chased by the semi truck. Bad guy chases good guys, there's not a lot going on, so you feel like you have a real sense of what is happening and where. You can have a big battle scene with a dozen characters, but it doesn't feel as intense as terminator 2.

What softwares do you use for Blu-Ray playback and screen capture when you gather all the film clips for your videos?

Can you please analyze Stranger Things, especially as it refers a lot to Spielberg techniques and has built in a lot of cinema Easter eggs. Would be great!

A lot of modern action doesn't have the geography you've brilliantly pointed out. The set itself is crucial to good action. I think that's why Raid and Raid 2 work really well. Dredd has this as well. I think modern directors use CGI as a crutch because they don't have to actually have everything in the camera all at once. I think it might be easier to film an action scene when there's no, "ah, we'll do it in post-production" mindset. Everything has to be there from the start, which means the director has to account for it, therefore the set becomes a tool, not an obstacle or a backdrop.

Indiana Jones and Back to the Future series are the best movies and have the best story lines.

True enough.

2:07 I am VECTOR!

I feel like that Indiana Jones is now day‘s way to underrated. Indiana Jones is my favourite Movie franchise and the last crusade is my favourite Movie of all Time. People only Look at Star Wars or Marvel or Jurrasic Park, wich are Great franchises, but their forgetting Indiana Jones wich is definitly one the same level of these movies or even beyond.

I thought it was the home invasion scene in Logan; best action scene of the year (or the opening action scene)

thoughts on the newest film 'dial of destiny'?

I notice you don't say "The Indiana Jones Quadrilogy". Good call.

how do you get away with playing these clips without copyright strikes?

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is my favourite movie ever

love these movies... Except Temple of Doom, that still creeps me out til this day.

Same for Uncharted in gaming

Love these movies classics...apart from the 4th movie when they jumped the shark

When in the temple of doom were they see evil god thing and they rip the persons heart out is it such a great twisit

You bet right.

Never go on an adventure without your hat
