Raiders of the Lost Ark Was Spielberg Shooting From The Hip | CineFix Top 100

“It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”

Raiders of the Lost Ark is an unimpeachably great movie that gave us the second iconic Harrison Ford role of the era with Indiana Jones. It’s hard to imagine a world without our most famous archeologist, or to understate the franchise’s influence on the adventure genre, but at the time there was a weird amount of pressure to succeed. Steven Spielberg was coming off a string of movies that had gone over budget, the most recent of which was an outright flop. Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the budget-minded approach Spielberg, George Lucas and crew took to the production, the incredible accidents responsible for some of the coolest imagery in the film and just how many people were violently ill during production. So buckle up, this is almost 2 hours worth of Raiders talk to find out where it ranks on the CineFix Top 100!

Meanwhile, somebody took the lid off of producer Dan’s algorithm so keep your eyes shut. No matter what happens, don’t look at it. JUST KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT, MARION!
