“I’m afraid! I’m afraid!” : Indiana Jones’s spider scene was not difficult to shoot

As a result of the shooting of the missing ark adventurers, Steven Spielberg was surprised that his stuntmen team had survived the squad. In writing of the American society of filmmakers, the filmmaker recalled how Harrison Ford had been threatened several times for the classical adventures of 1981, especially when he escaped faster than Minabochkali Rocky 136 kilos. Spielberg summarized the situation with this short assumption: “Harrison had to hold it ten times against this rock. He won ten times and stopped forecasts. He was lucky, and I was stupid to try.“However, the action sequence remains one of the most emblematic and exciting of all time.

But that’s not all: later, half of the shooting team struck Dysentery and Harrison Ford Almost broke the knee after the leg was crushed by the plane wheel. In short, so much should be said that it was not easy to make a movie! And it seems that Alfred Molina was not released, the one who seems to have the whole story with spiders!

If he only plays a small role in the film, his short transition on the screen is memorable – and especially for a British actor who made his beginning on the big screen in front of the camera Steven Spielberg Which was already considered one of Hollywood’s greatest directors in 1975 after the success of sea teeth.

During Podkast’s “Never No No Funny” in 2019 (via Slashfilm), the actor recalled the road after auditing, Steven Spielberg He asked him a strange question …

“” “Before I left, when I was literally going out of the future, Steven said, “Oh, Alfred, you have nothing against spiders, right?” When I was going to go out and see that there were people who came in, I didn’t feel like I was able to get involved or ask questions and just said “no.”»

Before that he did not find out why Spielberg asked this question and why he should ask for some before he got the role that he was offered a week later!

Alfred Molina and Spiders

Despite the lack of experience in front of the camera, the young actress was already accustomed to playing characters from other nationalities because of her parents’ Spanish and Italian heritage. And it wasn’t different Lost in the ark of adventurers Where he was asked to play Peru named Satipo. Thus, for his first role in the cinema, the British will receive a false Spanish focus, while Indiana Jones takes the golden idol. And then, of course, there is a Tarentula scene!

As he said in a documentary film Making a missing arkInterview below, this sequence was taken to the kit during the first scene.

“” “And this man is coming, a large suitcase, and inside is all of these different sections, what looks like a straw boot in each section. And under the boots of each straw there was a tarantula. So this type puts these spiders and these spiders are more frightened of me (…). It puts it on, I think it’s at least two tens and they’re all on me and they don’t move. And I understand that Steven said, “Why are they not moving? They look fake!“Remember Alfred MolinaA completely dead laugh.

He continues: “The boy, the spider coach, says, “Oh because they are all men, you see, we have to get a woman there and then they all fight.”»

Spielberg will not delay: “” ““Well, place a woman there!” Sister Take the woman and put her somewhere on my chest, and suddenly, as if the hell was released. These spiders ran away and they are falling apart and they are starting to fight and running all over my face, while Steven says, ‘Film, movie! Alfred, Alfred, air scared, air scared! ‘And I say,’ Oh, I’m afraid, I’m afraid! ‘»

Obviously Alfred Molina He did not need to call his acting talent to express his anxiety at the time!
