Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade Commentary (Podcast Special)

Luckily, I've seen Last Crusade enough times that this commentary works just fine as a standalone episode.

Oliver I hope you don't mind me jumping in on a none retrospective vid but I've just had a little binge of some of your as mentioned retrospective videos. Fabulous my friend. Honestly your in depth and attention to detail is second to none. Such a joy we have outlets now that give talented people a voice they can share. I don't mean to be sycophantic but I really have just had a boss evening watching several eps. Got me so back in the mood for some cinema. Superb. Thank you.

the woman in Austin powers is parodying rosa klebb from from Russia with love not that woman

You should do a Trading Places commentary.😁

Commentaries with Brad are awesome and this is my favorite Indiana Jones movie!

Back to the Future is another perfect “beginning/middle/end” franchise, and there never needs to be another film, period. No more sequels, no remake, no reboot. Tell ancillary tales or continuations via comics and games, but not films.

Best Indy film!

I love the whole escape from the Zeppelin scene which culminates on the beach the look Indiana gives his Dad after is magical

Indiana Jones 4 was actually first announced by Lucasfilm in 1993! I remember the press announcement. But they couldn't make it straight away, as Lucas wanted to do the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy first. Then it went into a very long development process, with complete scripts being written and discarded, and others being written. The deal was that they wouldn't commit to the film, until Lucas, Spielberg and Ford had a script they all agreed on. So it just kept rolling along, and on into the 00's. M Night Shyamalan wrote a draft. As did Tom Stoppard, who'd done un-credited script doctoring on Crusade. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) did also. Finally David Koepp (Jurassic Park)'s script was the one they agreed on. So, if they'd been a bit quicker, they could have had it out in the 90's.

Great commentary. It's good hearing from Brad again. I love his enthusiasm. I saw this film at the cinema when it came out and loved it at 8 yrs old.

Definitely my favorite of the bunch! Watched this a million times as a kid

Love these podcast specials!

Having seen this flick at the theatre when it came out, the problem is that some of the special effects have not aged well. Plus the area surrounding the castle does not look like Switzerland! In fact, the whole sequence was shot in California. And who fails to recognize Petra in Jordan? Today, with modern tourism?

Jeffrey Boam wrote not one, not two, but three great action movies released in 1989: Last Crusade, Lethal Weapon 2 AND Tango And Cash! Sadly he died in 2000, aged 53, but he also wrote such classics as The Dead Zone, Innerspace, and The Lost Boys. He also wrote Lethal Weapon 3 and The Phantom, both of which I love but not everyone does.

Been looking forward to this one. My favourite.

My favorite Indy film now has a commentary done by my favorite movie reviewer, I'm happy :)

The Last Crusade should have been the last crusade.

Yes, the speedboat scenes were filmed at Tilbury Docks in Essex. The location that Oliver mentions from the start of For Your Eyes Only is not there, but Beckton Gas Works near East Ham.

Been waiting for this for months YESSSSSS

my favorite of the three films and Ollie I think is in agreement. It has a little something Raiders hasn't
