Harrison Ford Reflects on Indiana Jones' Legacy | GQ

I hate snake shot I hate him I have actually no fear of snakes that's acting hey I hey I'm Harrison Ford these are some of the biggest moments from Indiana Jones let's start with dialer destiny [Music] get back I really don't think there's something that distinguishes dial of Destiny from all the other films I think that's a there's a Continuum the whole film is about time and about wrinkles in time and these are the wrinkles and the time I think is apparent we wanted to make I wanted to make a film about about the end of his life I wanted to see all of the development of his personality that we've seen and then I wanted to see him after the passage of the 15 years that actually exists between the last film that we did and and this one I've changed I'm not the Young Buck I once was I'm an older man I would like the audience to appreciate that in the context of his life and to see what effect time has on the character the cut from from the first previous 25 minutes to arriving in 1969 on moon day is one of the favorite things I've ever done in movies I think it's just a great visual construction and a great character moment [Music] he did that scene where guys got him around the neck and indy like flips his body back to knock the guy off and that's where Harrison's back went he let out a a call for help at that point well it's a dangerous work environment the good news is Harrison Ford is fine he feels great his enzyme papaya treatment worked fantastically well I'm especially interested in this papaya treatment well they stopped doing them about 30 years ago because they were dissolving people's spinal columns mine's intact that was Temple of a doom yeah Raiders was the ACL Run Over By The Flying Wing in Tunisia collection was done in the stunt Department to figure out how I might be able to work the next day yeah [Music] I think that locations are essential to the Indiana Jones films and I'm so glad that we are committed to working in real physical environments it's occasionally very useful to stand in front of a blue screen and imagine that you're gazing out from the top of the Eiffel Tower or the City of Paris and you're not if you don't have to do that you can smell Morocco you can feel Morocco your extras are actually Moroccan it's just nothing like being in the real place and seeing a real place how many of our audience will get a chance to visit those environments Sicily where we had actual ruins from Greek and Roman history that was a wonderful environment places like the caves part of the caves are done in actual physical caves and the others are sets because of the complicated scenes that we had to do in them Christmas there's no cookies ironically when I was a assistant counselor in the in the nature Department of Boy Scout camp in Wisconsin I made it my mission to dig a reptile pit which I then peopled with reptiles that I collected and I got to know snakes uh firsthand basis I have actually no fear of snakes that's acting my parents were inefficient in curtailing my impulses I raised a black and white hooded rats great numbers of black and white rats running around my room and eventually my house and my neighborhood that was a very successful rat razor no wheels were harmed in the making of This production because there were no eels that's just what you do I gotta tell you something don't get sentimental not dead save it till we get out of here the floor's on fire Sean is an amazing performer pure fun working with him we enjoyed a great relationship well made it when we're Airborne with Germany behind us then I'll share that sentiment well I played it without my trousers and Harrison's I said you're not gonna played to see me without your trousers I said well if I don't I'll be stopping all the time because I sweat enormously I sweat very easily well he did the same he was a heavy sweater yes and he wore a heavy uh wool pants and he did appear without his pants because of the Heat and I felt it both necessary and appropriate to remove my pants so we had two pantsless men photographed from the waist of film history Shia's character Mutt our our son we have this confined story about him it was the screenwriter's invention to have lost a child to complicate the relationship between myself and Marion in order to retrieve that relationship his name is Henry Henry good name it's your son my son I mean it's all part of the fabric of telling a film story [Music] that should do it incredible clip of you stapling your hat to your head I still have the see it if you do what you need to do [Music] it was presented to me as a aspect of character uh in the first film my questions about it were many why am I wearing a leather jacket in the jungle isn't it hot here why am I carrying a whip what am I going to do with it whip you're gonna whip people oh okay and the hat was an evocation of a time a period you know a reflection of uh movies past oh oh okay I said okay and that makes it my own [Music] foreign
