Some zodiac signs don't really mind if you already know how a story ends, but it's one of Cancer's pet peeves. Our crabby friend likes surprises - although preferably pleasant ones - and happy endings. We know from the title that's not going to happen here, and so does Cancer, which is why they won't waste their t
Comparing the before and after shots reveals the well-hidden mistake. In the before shot, the dead driver accelerates the truck towards an obvious dead-end full of buildings on a cramped street. In the next shot, it has somehow turned a corner and emptied into a large open area, where the explosion is triggered. It's a bizarre mistake that somehow got left in, with no pickup shot between takes that would explain the discrepa
The entire premise of Raiders and the Ark of the Covenant is just one facet of the Indiana Jones franchise that makes no sense . Many Bible scholars and average Christians were left scratching their heads in the first act when Marcus Brody talks about the powers contained in the Ark. According to Marcus, the Ark is capable of making its wielders invincible, leveling mountains, and decimating entire regi
With other movie genres, you might not be sure what those born under the sign of Cancer will like. The period drama genre, however, is something that every Cancer can get behind. In fact, period dramas might have been made for the Cancer. Romance, history, immersive sets, and detailed stories make up the period drama movie and the sentimental, detail-obsessed crustacean can't get enough of t
Essentially, E.T. is a movie about the power of friendship. But it’s also one of the few movies that tells us we might not be alone in the universe that isn’t alarmed by that prospect. It depicts alien visitors in a positive light. In fact, in the opening scene, it’s the humans who are hostile. The aliens are scared off by gun-toting cops, leaving E.T. beh
One of the most iconic scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark is when Indy falls into the Well of Souls and encounters a massive cobra that flares its hood. It's a deeply tense scene that helps convey Indy's paralyzing snake phobia. Unfortunately, like the aforementioned tarantulas, the cobra in question is geographically incorr
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas auditioned a ton of different actors for the roles of Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood. For Indy, they considered David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck, Michael Biehn (who would go on to play Kyle Reese in The Terminator ), Mark Harmon, Christopher Guest (who starred in This is Spinal Tap ), and A Star is Born ’s Sam Elli
I grew up on Raiders of the Lost Ark , and absolutely love it. Revisiting it again before talking to you just hammers home how well it holds up and how well it's aged. Do you often revisit it? Is it a movie you go back to, or do you not like to watch your own stuff
When Raiders of the Lost Ark mounts Ark was first sent to the censors to be rated, it was hit with an R rating, because the MPAA felt that the melting face at the end was too graphic. The producers really wanted a PG-13 rating to allow it to become the box office hit that it would eventually become , so a layer of fire was added on top of the shot of the melting face to make it less horrifying and it was given a PG-13 rating. Steven Spielberg didn’t want to cut the melting face scene altogether, because he felt that it was the most impressive special effect he’d ever seen up to that po
It occurs after Indy avoids getting shot by the pilot. He's forced to turn back into his opponent, who decks him so hard that he spins out from underneath the plane. The next punch is a backhanded fist that should send Indy spinning to his left, but he instead spins to his right. The force and direction of the punch make this an obvious g
It's so cool that you got to know Marion doing the bar scene, because it's such an amazing introduction, and Marion is such a powerful character who really holds her own. And it was a level of characterization - if you compare it to Bond, which Indy was riffing on - that was head and shoulders above the others. How did you bring that energy and vibrance to the charac
Then, a wider shot reveals the thing that was ripping through the trees: a large truck, carrying a heavy-duty cage. It slowly becomes apparent that there’s a dinosaur in the cage, and these guys aren’t equipped to handle
That's fantastic. Going back to the start, what was your first impression of Raiders when you were talking to the producers about doing it? Because it's very Lucas and Spielberg as a story, but it's also unlike what they'd been doing previously. What was your first impression of the movie and of Marion as well
