Jamie Benning, the creator of the amazing fan-made Star Wars Begins that was released early last year, has just completed his latest “filmumentary”: a comprehensive look back at the making of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas‘ blockbuster 1981 paean to the swashbuckling adventure flicks of yesteryear that introduced audiences to the one and only Indiana Jones, compiled from vintage audio and video interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and much more.

Now the finished product, Raiding The Lost Ark, is available for viewing online. You can watch the full, 143-minute video here below.

Would you want Nutella if you knew Indiana Jones desperately desired it, so much so he’d risk his life for it?

Well, that’s what the makers of the chocolate-hazelnut spread hoped when they came up with a commercial showing Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones risking death by booby-trap in order to steal not the golden idol, but rather a jar of Nutella.

The rare old commercial, which was put on the European VHS edition of Raiders of the Lost Ark, is now online thanks to Canadian cartoonist and videographer Paul Covello, who unloaded this gem to YouTube. Watch the commercial here below.

It’s no surprise that the Indiana Jones movies borrow liberally from the smashing pulp adventures of the past; after all, George Lucas did co-create the character. StooTV, the creator of the web series The Old Indiana Jones Chronicles, has created Raiders of the Lost Archives, a fascinating video that breaks down the opening sequence of the iconic, globe-trotting archaeologist and adventurer’s inaugural (and still best) silver screen opus Raiders of the Lost Ark into a shot-by-shot comparison to scenes from thirty different adventure films made between 1919 to 1973.

This year marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the original (and still the best) of the Indiana Jones series. To celebrate the occasion animator Jeff Gurwood decided to pay homage to the movie that first brought together Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford with a stop-motion animated recreation of Raiders‘ famous opening sequence.

Earlier in the year a fan-made documentary started making the rounds online called Star Wars Begins. Assembled out of several decades’ worth of interviews, commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, etc., Begins was the first in a trilogy of what London-based creator Jamie Benning calls “filmumentaries.” These videos covered the first three movies in George Lucas‘ landmark space adventure saga in a way that provided fans of the Star Wars trilogy and filmmaking in general with a fresh perspective on a cinematic classic. Star Wars Begins was warmly received by fans of the series and Benning followed it up with filmumentaries about The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi that were equally regarded by them as well.
