Ok so the Indiana Jones 5 trailer has just dropped online and throughout this video we're
gonna be bringing you a big breakdown to discuss all the plot details, easter eggs and our
thoughts on how the movie looks.
This is Indy's Last Last Crusade and it's gonna apparently be the final swan song for
the character...which I've heard that before.
Now in this video we'll be going over some of the plot details discussed in the recent
Empire Article and because of this there may be some spoilers.
I haven't read any leaks as I wanna go in as fresh eyed as you guys but that's just
something to bear in mind when watching this video.
With that out the way, I'm Paul aka the guy who's careers in ruins now let's get into
the video.
-
Now elements of this trailer leaked a couple of months back after d23 and it contained
most of the stuff that we see here.
We know from the Empire article that the movie will be taking place in 1969 and that it'll
have Indy going toe to toe once more with the Nazis.
So he must be fighting Nasa ey having that.
Oh s**t what he actually is.
So incase you don't know, Operation Paperclip was started in 1945 and it involved the US
recruiting more than 1,600 scientists to help assit in the spacerace to the moon.
In the Empire article it was revealed by Jez Butterworth that Indy will discover the fact
that many of the people who are trying to beat the Russians to the moon are actually
people that the government were fighting less than twnty years before.
He'll discover that some of the Ex-Nazis aren't so Ex and this will be what the main plot
centres around.
Enter Mads Mikkelson who will be playing the character Voller.
Voller is actually going to be based on the real life figure Wernher Von Braun who was
recruited by Nasa from Germany to become an Engineer during the time period.
Von Braun helped to develop the V2 rocket for the Germans and because of this he was
welcomed with open arms.
When speaking with Empire, Mads said that the villain has discovered something that
could change the world and that he wants to get his hands on it which will probably be
some ancient artifact that will help him to alter reality.
Now because of it's closeness to reality we'll also see a major event in real life history
and this is the Apollo 11 Ticker Tape Parade.
This took place in New York on the 13th of August 1969 and it was thrown as a way to
celebrate the entire moon landing mission.
We see a big scene involving this in the trailer and also Boyd Holbrooks character Klaber.
Described as being Vollers lapdog he's going to chase Indy through the streets of New York
in a big action scene.
Now the 60s brings a lot with it as well and we already know that Indy's favourite band
is The Rolling Stones so he's probably gonna love it there.
In his fictional biography, Indiana Jones was born on July 1st 1899.
This puts him at 70 years old whereas Ford is 80 in real life.
Guys still playing younger than his age and I know everyones big worry about the movie
will be whether he can still pull it off.
However this teaser has him doing a number of thingsThis and we also know that we're
gonna be deaged at least at one point in the movie.
This will be a classic trip through several locations including a desert city complete
with a Rickshaw chase.
A deep sea voyage to possibly unearth the artifact, caves, trains, planes and automobiles.
We'll also be getting the return of John Rhy Davies who's voiceover we can hear in the
teaser.
It's a big return for the franchise and John Rhys Davies actually turned down appearing
in Crystal Skull because he was just getting a cameo role.
He said his character was worth more than that so lets hope that he's in this in a big
way.
That took place in 1957 and we know though Mutt doesn't appear in the trailer, there
are rumours that we will get a mention of him in some way.
Indy got married to Marion at the end of that film and you can see in the promotional material
that he's still wearing his wedding ring.
Whether Karen Allen returns or not remains to be seen but...arrr no they've got her drinking
more than the men, it's gone woke it's bloody gone woke!
-
Now on a totally unrelated subject Pheobe Waller Bridge will be playing Indy's God Daughter
Helena.
In the film and she'll be coming along for the ride with him and will be one of the mainstay
character.
We're not sure exactly what's going on with her but I definitely recommend that you check
out Fleabag if you wanna see the sort of vibe she's probably gonna be bringing to the film.
Really funny actress and it looks like they're bringing her into a lot of the movie.
Just guessing here but I can imagine she's following in her Godfather's footsteps and
that she's the one who unearths the plan by the bad guys.
With her being his Goddaughter it's even possible that she's Sallahs kid.
Sure he's an egyptian character but John Rhys Davies is Welsh, just don't tell anyone mate
otherwise it'll kick off.
Now since 1957, Indy has been stuck in the classroom, collecting books and teaching his
students who probably still write stuff on their eyelids to woo him.
Either way, to him the days of Adventure are over but Sallah is attempting to woo him back
himself by suggesting that the days that the gold old days might not be over.
Sallah seems like he's very Indie-pendant and it's even possible that if we're right
about him being Helenas father that we'll go to Indy to help rescue her.
Either way it doesn't seem like the good days are over as this teaser trailer is filled
with lots of major moments and action scenes.
I love all the stuff on horseback and we know from the d23 footage that there's gonna be
a tonne of extra scenes like this that weren't shown in the official online release.
There's gonna be rides through New York, through the Subway and through the night along with
a big motorbike chase.
Indy says that he doesn't believe in magic but that he's seen things in his life he can't
explain and that he believes its not so much what you believe but how hard you believe
it.
I think this is very much a wink to the audience to just believe that an 80 year old man can
do all this stuff and ey, I believe mate, just dust off the hat and make a good movie
and I'll be happy.
Now because of his age there are also theories that the movie will culminate with him dying.
I really dunno if Indiana Jones is the kind of character that they just kill off and I
dunno how they'd handle it if it came to that.
I really hope he gets his happy ending because he's the kind of character you just wanna
see ride off into the Sunset...ah wait they already did that.
F**k it kill em, might actually finally end this series, kill em...kill em all.
Now the teaser trailer ends with Indy using his whip whilst getting guns drawn on him.
Clear reference to Raiders Of The Lost arc, namely the scene in which he shot that guy
and hit the like button.
Great little twist on that scene and the perfect way to end the trailer.
Now as for my thoughts on the teaser I really enjoyed this and I've been a big Indy fan
for as long as I can remember.
This guy had one of the best movie trilogies ever made and I think everyone who's my age
grew up with him in some form or another.
Whether it was being scared s**tless of Temple Of Doom or even the River Pheonix opening
in Last Crusade, every movie had something that's burned into my brain from my childhood.
Now because of this love I am always wary when I hear that they're making another one.
The last one sucked balls, in my opinion at least, and because of this when I heard that
this movie was announced I was like.
here we go again
However after watching the trailer I have high hopes for it and I am excited to see
what happens in it.
Speilberg not being at the helm is a change up but James Mangold has been behind a lot
of good films so I have faith that He can do something good with it.
Interestingly my wife actually seen Harrisson Ford when he was down the Quayside.
Said she seen him and only realised after that it was him.
It was a lucky escape for me and if she'd seen Pete Davidson then I'd probably be divorced
right now.
Anyway that's the trailer and I hope you enjoyed our breakdown.
