It’s actually not a light boobytrap, it’s a pressure plate, Indy is clever and manipulates Satipo into believing it’s the light when in reality he steps on a plate at the same time. This would protect Indy from a possible betrayal. Which in the end, he is correct.

The gold statuette from the start of 'Raiders' is based on one at the Smithsonian, however it is now widely regarded as a fake. And at 07;26 Indy during his lecture says 'Barrow' not 'barrel' (A Barrow being a Neolithic burial mound - and yes, I'm an archaeologist!). Interestingly, the barrow mentioned 'Turkdean barrow' is actually two, Hazelton north & Hazelton south. The thing is Indy can't be telling the class about the excavation, as digging started in 1979 and finished in 1982 (the year after the movies release!) Indy though, does mispronounce 'Cist' as 'sist' and not 'Kist'.

There's a scene in in the temple where Indy pauses Alfred Molina's character from proceeding over a section of floor which turns out to be another trap, a pit disguised by by dust and cobwebs. This is why they need to use the whip to swing over the pit. This sets up the subsequent, throw me the idol and I'll throw you the whip scene.

But maybe you saw a different version, what country did you see it in out of curiousity?

We saw this one in the movie theater several times. One of the greatest movies of all time. One thing that stuck out though was the movie supposedly occurred in 1936. The rocket propelled grenade launcher Indy had didn't exist until years later.

I grew up with these movies with my mom introducing them to me and this series is what made me fall in love with history, folklore, legends, and story worldbuilding

I really appreciated the detailed analysis of symbolism that I never noticed before. Thank you.

There is another deleted scene where an old man, the same one that tells them the height of the staff, explains to Indy the rules of the ark. 1)You touch, you die. 2)You look, you die. I kinda wish we had all these scenes to actually look at in the movie somehow.

Great breakdown! You mention that Indy and the staff of Ra were necessary to finding the Ark, but at the site didn't Belloc say something along the lines that the Nazis would just as soon bulldoze the entire site to find it? Indy's presence made finding the Ark quicker for the Nazis (and supposedly saved the site and many relics from destruction) , but they could have found it without him.

Has anyone noticed at 9:36 the stained glass windows in the lecture hall? Can you see the chivalric/family crests? Remember the painting in Indie's living room above the fireplace at 11:06.

Really fascinating video! Small clarification though: Marion was born in 1909, and she and Indy met each other in 1925-1926. So she’d be closer to 16-17 years old. So technically able to give consent by a lot of 1920s standards. Keep in mind that I’m not defending Indy here. He is still 10 years older than her as he was born in 1899. Making the 10-11 year age gap incredibly creepy. George Lucas originally wanted Marion to be even younger like 14-15 like you said, but Spielberg thankfully shot that idea down. I don’t know why Lucas even thought that making the hero of his story a pedo was a good idea…

This movie is very accurate, Biblically. The Bible describes the Ark in great detail, and also describes the robes of the High Priest that Belloq was wearing. All of that is true to scripture. And Indy knew to close his eyes because the Bible also makes clear what happens when people look upon the glory of God. There's even a line in the novelization where Indy warns his friends to not touch the Ark. "Never touch it." According to the Bible, without the proper ritual performed by Belloq, anyone who touches the Ark drops dead on the spot.

Not necessarily "drops dead", some only got swallowed by the ground. And that looking bit is a bit shaky as lots of people see god directly, with Moses making the most about the experience in god warning him it could only be from behind as anything else would be too overpowering. Didn't seem to bother Adam and Eve though or Israel when wrestling YHWH. (And no, the text says not it was the angel of the Lord, it says it was the big guy himself, anything else is a later retcon to fill a perceived gap in the logic, creating a far bigger gap)

There are a few reasons why Indy may have known not to look at the Ark. One, it was explained to him and Sallah by the old man in Cairo who translated the headpiece to the Staff of Ra. Two, your explanation. And three, according to the novelization of Raiders, in which Indy remembers the biblical event of Sodom and Gomorrah, where anyone who looked back at the city would die and be turned to salt.

He only ends up winning because of the greed or ignorance of the bad guys. Raiders he is captured and lives because he respected the power of the Ark. Temple he is captured and turned bad but is only saved by the efforts of Short Round, and again by his ability to let go of the stones. Crusade by his penetance and respect for the grail, and again his ability to let it go. And finally in Kingdom his realization to respect the knowledge they have and not ask for more, unlike Spalko whose greed gets her fried. He may think he wants fortune and glory, but with these artifacts there really isn't any. The adventure is the juice.

My mum's uncle watched this with one of my mum's cousins and when it aired, he was having a blast watching this!!! All of my Family are fans of Indiana Jones!!!

"He's making this up as he goes, he's not James Bond..." I'd argue that's exactly what James Bond does. And I read somewhere that Indy is in fact inspired by Bond (much more obvious in the opening of Temple of Doom), and at least part of why Spielberg did this movie is because he was turned down from directing a Bond film.

In addition to Marion being the key to finding the Ark and Indy leading the Nazis to her, there is another reason that is not seen on screen. After the Nazis open the Ark on the island, they all would have died. After they died, more Nazis would have showed up to find out what's going on. They would have found the Ark and they would have continued to take it back to Hitler. But with Indy there, he is able to get word out to the US Government who were able to get to the island before the other Nazis knew something was wrong.

ERIC you’ve done it again! Dude making me relive my childhood!

Great analysis! I remember in the comic book from the movie, the "wise man" who gives the information on how tall to make the staff also provides a warning not to directly look at the power of the ark, which is how Indy knows and why he warns Marion to look away.

Even without the that deleted scene there's hints at it from the illustration in book he opens during the government briefing. None of the people on the side of the ark in the illustration have their eyes uncovered or are looking at it, hinting at what is to come. This scene also works with the theme of the film showing that Indy is initially skeptical and dismissive of the agent's questioning the illustration saying the lines emanating from the ark are "lightning, fire, the power of god... Something." like it isn't important. Yet by the end of the film with all he has seen, witnessed, and done he realizes there are some things you should take on faith.

Pat Roach wasn't the Mongolian shot in the face that was shown in the dive. He was the Sherpa wrestling Indy for the gun in Marion's bar. The gun the henchman has in that scene was an MP40 and not a Thompson.

The reason that Indy knew to shut his eyes was written into the novelization of the movie. The man who read the markings of the head piece to the Staff of Ra also told Indy that he shouldn’t look at the opened ark or die. In the movie he only mentions a warning which Indy shrugs off.

Indy told Marion to shut her eyes because the Egyptian guru guy warned him about the danger of the Ark when they spoke about the markings on the headpiece of the staff. This wasn't in the movie, but was told in the book (a paperback that came out at the time the movie was released). The book also explained how he lashed himself to the periscope of the German sub with his whip and hoped they wouldn't dive. He was lucky (again) that they didn't because they were close to their secret base and stayed surfaced for air until they docked.

This is the old way, it means six kadams high."_ Sala then says, _"About 72 inches."_ 72 inches is six feet, which is roughly Indiana Jones's height. The gypsy turns the headpiece over and continues, _"And take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose Ark this is."_ This would make the staff 5 feet high, yet in the map room, the staff is easily 1.5 feet taller than Indy. Which begs the question, "Was Belloq's staff too long, or was Indy's?"

Thank you. I got some answers I was looking for.

This was a fantastic watch!

Great dive here!

“ding dong, gods here!” Best sum up of the scene with the ark 😂😂

Voss! Great video. As per usual. That video Indy breaks out in the lecture hall is identical to a bible my wife found in an Antiques shop. It has the embossed cross and the 2 buckles on it. I reference it each time the movie is on

I just realized that the trick Indy pulls to hide the truck is the exact opposite of the scene in Last Crusade, as though the Nazis learned from this defeat and had a hidden truck setup to kidnap Marcus

Steven Spielberg's mouse trap scenes are some of my favorite bits in cinematic history

This was a great deep dive!
