Morning ,
I treated myself to going to watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" last night at the local cinema.
It came out in 1981
I was 5 then .
I always loved the film and last nights showing was awesome on the big screen and cleaned up.
There was only 12 people in the pictures with me .
Went for a Weatherpersons BBQ burger deal before walking over to go watch it.
One point that was noticeable this time was how violent some of the scenes are.
Nazi's , Arabs, Nepalese henchmen being shot in the head, people melting, heads exploding etc...
How did that get a PG ?
All in all a brilliant film and surely one of the bets ever made ?
How can Hollywood with all it's money, technology and actors struggle today to come close to such a iconic epic film.
I can't fault the film in any way , it's that good.
The casting is spot on but how can you forget Ronald Lacey as Major Arnold Toht - So so very creepy .
:-D
