Jackie Chan is one of the most prominent stars in action cinema, because he combines his prowess as a master martial artist with Buster Keaton-esque physical comedy. His 1978 hit Drunken Master has a wholly unique premise, as Chan plays a fighter whose abilities peak when he’s intoxica
Arachnophobes scared of films featuring spiders and insects must have freaked out watching the opening of Raiders, when both Indy and Satipo discover tarantulas crawling all over them. It's a nerve-wracking scene, especially considering that the spiders are, in fact, real. However, they aren't native to South America, where the opening scene takes pl
The last of the Jurassic Park movies with middling reviews was from Spielberg himself and centered on Jeff Goldblum's side character from the original movie, Dr. Ian Malcolm , as he travels to the previously-unexplored second island of the Park's prehistoric wo
South Korea is the unofficial capital of all things MMO. The culture is an important part of everyday life and not really limited to a particular age group. Hundreds of games of several different kinds have been developed in South Korea, and several have made it to international audien
Jock fires up his biplane, while Indy makes his way through a dense nest of trees, before emerging on the other side. This would have made it impossible for Jock to have any sort of visual contact with Indy as he was running towards the plane in the previous shot.

There aren’t a lot of biopics that fall into the martial arts genre, but Ip Man is a prime example of both. The great Donnie Yen stars as Ip Man himself , the legendary Wing Chun grandmaster who taught Bruce Lee how to fi
Another factual error related to the Ark occurs when Indiana Jones speaks about the Ten Commandments tablets that were brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses. He references the Biblical story where Moses throws the tablets down and shatters them before putting them in the
It feels somewhat challenging to articulate exactly what makes Raiders of the Lost Ark so enduring. It could be the remarkable sets and stunning locations, or the fun old-fashioned feel the movie embodies. It could also be the collaboration between the hundreds of people who poured their hearts and souls into making a generationally transcendent f

Lost Ark was a hotly contested property, and there was some drama over which North American company would handle the game's distribution. Though Smilegate is the developer, they don't actually market or sell the game themselves. That varies from country to country, and the developer is also responsible for tweaks and changes when it comes to translation and localizati

That particular snake is a Monocled Cobra and is not native to Africa, where a large part of Raiders takes place. The Monocled tends to hang out in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Bangladesh, and Cambodia.
