Quickly provided answers for frequently asked questions about RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
What is the correct order for the Indiana Jones movies?
First it’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, then Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, all 28 episodes of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and then Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Then if you die and get sent to hell, that is where you get to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Is Raiders of the Lost Ark historically accurate?
Almost 100% yes, except the real Indiana jones LOVED snakes, famously owning a pet boa named Chunky.
