What if...

Raiders of the Lost Ark was a 50s film serial? Who would be best suited for the role of Indiana Jones? How would his villains translate to this era? What would the film's musical score sound like?

Thankfully, since George Lucas and Steven Spielberg created Raiders as a homage to classic serials, these questions are easily answered. Both directors have acknowledged that specific films influenced key sequences across all four Indiana Jones films. I tried my best piece these films together and create a loose narrative. I hope you enjoy this homage to "Raiders" and the many great films that inspired it.

This "pre-make" is a mash-up of old trailers and clips found all over Youtube. It is fake, independent, and not for profit. It is not endorsed or connected to Paramount or Lucasfilm. It was made as a purely technical exercise, and as a reflective deconstruction of elements in modern cinema.

Here is the recipe:
The 10 Commandments, Prince Valiant, Naked Jungle, Secret of the Incas, Jungle Queen, Zulu, Look to Lockheed for Leadership, Casablanca, The City of Brass, Mr. Moto takes a Vacation, Star in My Crown, A Pain in the Pullman, On Dangerous Ground, Patton, King Solomons Mines, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Greatest Show on Earth, David and Bathsheba, The Screaming Skull, When You Know, Mysterious Mr. Moto, Lawrence of Arabia, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and Superman at Bay.

  • Get your paws of me you damn dirty nazi!

  • Comment removed
  • It looks like it would have actually been really if it was real

  • Hahahaha, that's great

  • Well technically Raiders was a homage to all this classic Colombia adventure movies.

  • The great thing about this mini classic is it leaves you wanting more ... much more in fact. I loved the way "whoiseyevan" successfully welded together Heston characters Harry Steele and Brad Braden to create a very believable black and white Indiana Jones.

  • Indiana Jones una serie degli anni 50? :D

  • That is about the cleverest thing I've seen in a while.

  • Pretty cool!
