No, it's a "what if the movie was made in 1951" fan-made trailer.

Very well done. Some of the titling was a little kitschy considering the budget and names of the stars, but it was a good job :^)

If it had been made with that cast, there would have been 27 remakes by now and Harrison Ford's wouldn't have made the top 5.

I think at least part of the footage came from
"The Secret of the Incas," Charlton Heston, 1954

Very well done. I thought I recognized part of it and the thread above does point out that it seems to have at least some footage from a couple of actual movies.

But it does show how much better Raiders was because of when it was made, with modern effects, etc.

Good movies that withstand the test of time, have nothing to do with special effects, modern or otherwise.

Hahah. Pure gold, Peter Lorre was the person I thought of to play the German agent too.

Check out the others, they have Ghostbusters with Bob Hope. 😀

Yes, I thought that was Peter Lorre too. And when I saw Raiders for the first time I remember thinking that guy should be played by Peter Lorre.
