U.H.F. was such a fantastic film. It truly was Al's magnum opus in terms of huge projects. Seriously, just look at nearly every detail of every scene, shot, prop, gag, set, foley (both sound AND set dressing), costume, and everything else! It's a masterpiece of storytelling even WITHOUT the homages to RotLA, Rocky, Rambo, SW, etc.

KUDOS TO WEIRD AL! 💪😎✌️

I just noticed that the severed arm on the guy was his LEFT arm, yet what landed on the ground was a RIGHT arm.

And it made me laugh at the gag all over again.

I gotta give this Raider of the Lost Ark parody props for mimicking that Douglas Slocombe style of lighting that was used for the movie.

[gmann]

They clearly weren't allowed to use the Indiana Jones theme tune.

[zoetercy]

This is such a great movie. I love it to this day!!

[GordonFalt]

I remember seeing this on tv in like 2003… changed my life.

[GorrathEUNE]

I'm the second to comment this is my first time seeing Weird Al Yankovic mock Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Never expected to see this but it was a blast!

"Go any further it is certain death!"

🤣

[bushwalker]

This is so much better than the most of modern movies.

[Captain_FixIt]

3:37 😂😆 I really love the swipe sound effect, where George snatched 💨✊🏼the Golden Oscar and the temple Collapsed. LOL!

[hooXpoo]

And they say that giant round rock is still rolling to this very day.😂

[marvinthemartian]

I’ll bet this is better than dial of disentary

[rickfalcon]

He forgot to “Watch For Falling Rocks.” Which explains the rock hitting his noggin.

Nice parody. Loved all 5 Indiana Jones movies. From Raiders to Dial of Destiny they all entertained well. Hope we get more IJ

[epaminon]

Dang. Slow-paced 20th century movies just hit differently.

Weird Al Yankovic should have been used to write, direct, produce and costar in Dial of Destiny 😆🤣😂😅

[dfreak]

We need a Weird Al Jankovic DLC version for the "Great Circle" game.
