Indiana Jones Movies

The scene where Indiana Jones was determined to blow up the Ark with a bazooka was the same place where R2-D2 was zapped by the marauding Jawas in Star Wars. In the scene where he went into the Well of Souls where there were snakes of all shapes and sizes, the crew had to go through all the pet shops in London just to make the shot more realistic but couldn’t find enough. Spielberg had hoses cut to length to play dummy snakes which was shot with the true eye for none seemed hose-like at all. The snake that Indiana Jones came face to face with as he fell into the well was a true cobra, which was separated from him by a sheet of glass which was nice for it did spray venom onto the glass! The shot was also so well done the glass doesn’t even show! Spielberg wrote the script to one of his best works in between takes, writing them down with Melissa Mathison, the film to be? ET!

One of the most memorable moments which makes Raiders of the Lost Ark one of the best action/adventure movies of all time, is the scene when Indy realizes a mistake has been made in the estimates his enemies have done with regards to the actual location of the Well of Souls, which he quickly resolves as he thinks (no dialogues spoken for he sneaked into the room, any noise would alert the enemy of his presence) solves the problem and finds the answer all in one scene that didn’t even have any words. Those were some of the most memorable moments in the adventures of the man, the legend that is Indiana Jones.
