5 Reasons Raiders Of The Lost Ark Is Better Than The Last Crusade 5 Reasons The Last Crusade Is Better

"Snakes...why did it have to be snakes?" Indiana Jones’ fear of snakes is one of his defining characteristics, and it’s put to excellent use in the narrative of Raiders of the Lost Ark Cheats Ark when Indy enters the Well of Souls and finds that it’s filled with hundreds of hissing cobras and pythons. However, as it turns out, neither Harrison Ford not Steven Spielberg are afraid of snakes, so it’s unclear where exactly this character quirk came from. It was a good thing for Ford and Spielberg, because it meant that they could focus on their work during the snake-infested sce


It's not a stretch to say that every MMORPG has some variation of the warrior . While it's a basic character that bashes, hacks, and slashes for the most part, Lost Ark found a way to soup this character up. Once players choose the warrior class, they can eventually take the path of three subclasses. The Berserker is a kind of tank character who hammers away at opponents. As this character upgrades, the ability to take out more than one enemy with a greatsword is unloc


At the 73rd Academy Awards, Crouching Tiger ’s 10 Oscar nods set a record for the most nominations for a non-English-language movie. It has some of the most stunning visuals in action cinema, courtesy of cinematographer Peter


The aesthetic can make for fun period pieces, but World War II itself has become a cliché. Today, setting a story during the war is seen as a shortcut to gaining audience sympathy since the genre’s simplistic morals are basically prem


In the temple in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark , little hieroglyphs of R2-D2 and C-3PO can be seen engraved on the wall . They can also be seen engraved on a golden pillar in the Well of Souls. This could just be seen as a fun Easter egg. But on top of that, the use of R2-D2 and C-3PO as hieroglyphs also seems to suggest that those droids actually went on their cosmic adventures a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away , and the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises take place in the same unive


The Martial Artist class in Lost Ark may not be what players expect to see from this group. These aren't ninjas who creep or samurai who hack and slash. Rather, this group is made up of characters that do indeed possess some fighting styles with finesse, but also call upon elemental powers to help with the fi


Pretty much every Bruce Lee movie has great fight scenes . Fans of fight choreography won’t be disappointed by Enter the Dragon or Way of the Dragon or even the incomplete Game of Death . But arguably the greatest movie in the Lee canon is 1972’s Fist of Fu


Thanks to Spielberg’s sharp direction, Ben Burtt’s exaggerated, old-timey sound effects, and the impeccable work of a stunt team led by Ford’s stunt double Vic Armstrong, Raiders ’ fight scenes are endlessly rivet


The script for Raiders of the Lost Ark went through various different drafts, in which a number of scenes and concepts came and went. A lot of those ideas would later be reused in the second movie (which was technically a prequel ), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . These include Indy traveling the Shanghai and avoiding machine gun fire by hiding behind a gong and a high-speed chase on mine carts. Originally, in Raiders , the trip to Shanghai was to recover a piece of the Staff of Ra and the mine cart pursuit followed the opening of the


With the masterfully simplistic premise of an elite squad infiltrating a high-rise controlled by a drug kingpin, Gareth Evans kept the focus of The Raid solely on the action. There’s no exposition or unnecessary subplots, just an all-out war between cops and cro


Jackie Chan is one of the most prominent stars in action cinema, because he combines his prowess as a master martial artist with Buster Keaton-esque physical comedy. His 1978 hit Drunken Master has a wholly unique premise, as Chan plays a fighter whose abilities peak when he’s intoxica


The story of a fighter who needs to get drunk to fight made for the perfect action comedy , because the joke engine of the comedy is driven by action. The fights are masterfully choreographed and performed by experts, but it has a slapstick approach. As usual, Chan’s stunt work is impecca


In the timeless, iconic story of King Kong , explorers capture a gigantic ape living on an uncharted island and take it back to New York to turn it into a glorified circus act. In one of film history’s most memorable climaxes, Kong escapes from captivity and scales the Empire State Build


While turning Marcus Brody into a bumbling comedic relief character was unfortunate, the interplay between Indy and his father is often hilarious. It's great seeing Indy revert to this child desperate for his father's approval and to see Connery playing the proper scholar who is appalled by all the violence around


Spielberg’s filmmaking has all the hallmarks of great action cinema: inventive setups, increasingly raised stakes, well-constructed suspense , clarity of movement in the framing and editing, and most importantly, a palpable sense of
