Everything Wrong With Raiders of the Lost Ark In 16 Minutes Or Less

Uf tou trad then over based on this film it explains she was 15 and Indiana was over the age of 18 making Indiana Jones a sex offender and statutory tapir.

The ark of the covenant and holy grail (which has no historical basis) have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The gold of the ark was built as instructed by God.

The golden calf was made from jewelry collected from the people.

Why would you assume they had no gold available to them. Also the ark was a gilded wooden box. Gilding takes surprisingly little gold. As you can hammer gold incredibly thin. As thin as 0.1 micron.

another sin that you could add. was that Herr Mac (Toth) just disappears after he burns his hand. he was right outside of the bar.

I like your show, have for a long time. You should read your bible about the Ark. Then you would know what it was made of, why God struck down the men who looked into it, and the third, you would know not to look.

I am pretty sure these things should not supposed to be "Arc Angles" - the scene reminds me more of Pandora's Box.

you sinned melting man !!!!!!!! that took work and looks great , not crap fake stuff on a computer

the creepy mummies - skeletons whatever should have minus points for actually looking scary and being there rather than ANY effect modern day which look like cartoons

The biggest plot hole is: HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET OFF THE ISLAND WITH THE ARK

Very darude of that sandstorm is the best line i have ever heard on here. Well done.

Bonus sin: If Satipo wasn't going to betray Indiana or not die, then why was there an airplane that only supports only 2 people (the pilot and one passenger) ... It's as if Indiana predicted he was going to be betrayed or he was going to say f*** you Satipo, you find your own airplane

Thanks for the listing of Alfred Molina's IMDB credits

Jones riding on the top of a submarine for hundreds of miles doesn't seem absurd to anyone?!!!

no sin for Indy's miraculous submarine ride to the island?

The reason why the nazis looking into the ark killed them is because they weren't looking at it un faith or with reverence. Indy instructed Marion to shut her eyes, and he did it himself, because he had no faith at that point. By the Last Crusade, however, he seems to have gained a little of it.

TBBT Indiana has no role in the movie.Amy

No sin for the same actor playing the guy cocking his gun and the monkey handler?
Also, look at how Marion "fights" when they get first attacked in Cairo 😂
She doesn't hit the guys with that metal case she's holding, she's just pressing down on them 😄

You've missed one more mistake: Indy's gun changing type in shooting at Marion's tavern. First it's a revolver then it becomes a semiauto.

'Dr Jones' fate abates once the primate playmate ate a not great date'. Underrated dialogue.

Proof that no classics can survive modern day inspection

If the gold statue is solid gold, it would have weighed about 120 lbs. About as much as a beer keg (Gold is about 20 times heavier than water.) Yet he uses a bag of sand as a supposed equal counterweight (sand does not weigh as much as gold) runs with it and handles it like a rugby ball. Belloq also handles it like it doesn't weigh much.🧐
ALSO, Indiana Jones failed to acquire any of the artifacts in any of the movies. All he did acquire was either eventually lost or stolen: Gold idol, Ark, Stones, Holy Grail, Crystal Skull, etc. So isn't he pretty much totally useless as an archaeologist?😂
So why do the Gmen in Raiders come to him about the Ark, addressing him as an "obtainer of rare antiquities" when, as far as we know, he never obtained squat?🤔

The boulder, folks. The boulder. I saw this first run in 1980-whenever and I noticed it then.

When the boulder is released, Indy could've taken 2 medium steps back, and it would've rolled safely right over him. No, really, rewind it, watch it again. Note all the room behind Indy. 2 unhurried steps back, it would've missed him.

43 years I've been whining about this...

The ark was gold and had those handles was because it was God's instructions to make it so. There is a good book on it... The Bible👍

You're not sinning him holding on to a moving submarine for a whole ocean crossing?

Indy spends the majority of the movie running for his life and getting unrealistically lucky. He never does anything of actual consequences or affects the outcome of the story, and he fails in the mission he was sent on.

But damn, it was fun.

The book of Exodus describes Ark of the Covenant in great detail: its exact dimensions, the type of wood it was carved out of, that it was covered in gold overlay, the position and pose of the two angel statues on the lid, the rods used to carry it, etc. The prop ark they built for Raiders is actually a very accurate recreation of the ark as described in the Bible.

There are mistakes in every Spielberg movie.

When I was a kid I was actually scared to look during the ark opening scene because I thought my face would melt

This is one of my favorite movies. The directing, acting and cinematography is perfect. I can overlook these sins any day but great point! Suspend disbelief lol

The one pothole rarely discussed: Indiana Jones is inconsequential to the movie's climax. I said it.

I agree. I mean why engage in a swordfight when you have a gun?

Terrible film

And people complained about the refrigerator scene in the Crystal Skull movie! All of the Indy movies have big plot holes or impossible scenes. Every movie ever made requires a certain suspension of disbelief. I love all of the Indy movies. Just enjoy them for what they are.

I am surprised that he did not mention the Big Bang Theory - Amy thing

The handles of the Ark shouldn't be a sin, I see you have little to no Biblical context, you are probably atheist or agnostic, no problem there just a little ignorance, so just to sum it up, the Ark is supposed to have handles for the high priests to carry it wherever, wouldn't that seem logical? Why do dumbells have handles if it wasn't for people to carry them, same logic applies there. Also, the Ark was made of gold because that's the requirement God had for Moses, just because the Jews worshipped a golden calf doesn't make gold inherently evil, it's the throne of God(mercy seat), not an idol. The Ark, including the Table of Showbread, was made originally out of Acacia wood and then plated with gold.

Also, Moses wouldn't have used the same gold that made the golden calf, he specifically broke the calf down and mixed the powder with water before making the Jews drink it to punish them.

I think you should change the sin about the applause to stunt people since it was actually Harrison Ford that did that truck stunt and got the bruised ribs to prove it

there's a deleted scene with the reading of the medallion where the translator basically said "don't look at it don't touch it"

You know it's a GOAT movie when CinemaSins takes off a sin for logos.

Did you get this off VHS? Pic is so dull looking

Dude. The Attack of the Clones reference is perfect

To be fair, the whole "don't look at it" idea was foreshadowed as the two eagles on the lid of the ark are hiding their heads under their wings and we know Indy got a pretty good look at it when he found it in the Well of Souls.

My all time favorite movie but you missed the all time biggest sin...Indy and his S. American guides spend days following a map to the hidden temple but the getaway plane is already parked 200 meters from said temple? How did that happen?

Frying pans! Who knew, right?!

The "His buddy Gimli.." comment took me a second, but well played.
