Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny just premiered last weekend, and despite the poor critics’ reviews from weeks earlier, the movie has been getting praised by audience members who were just giddy to see Indy’s last ride.
At 80-years-old, fans don’t really expect Harrison Ford to do as much stunts as Indy does in the movie, and thanks to @IndianaJones_ch, we have a look at the insanely real Harris Ford stunt mask that the stuntpeople had to wear in the film. Check these out:

Admittedly, the eyes do look a bit sunken when the stunt guy wears them, but it’s not like they were expecting them to look just like exactly like Ford for their sequences. If you watch the film, they also had to do a bit of CG work to try and make it look like it was Ford riding a horse or jumping across speeding carts.
Though the movie was not met well by the critics at Cannes, Dial of Destiny has received a sparkling audience score, and is considered a great closer to Ford’s run as the character, redeeming Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as his last ride.
The film doesn’t really set up any future for Indiana Jones, but it’s definitely a great addition to the series of movies started by Steven Spielberg.
Experience the return of legendary hero, Indiana Jones, in the fifth installment of this beloved swashbuckling series of films. Finding himself in a new era, approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him. But as the tentacles of an all-too-familiar evil return in the form of an old rival, Indy must don his hat and pick up his whip once more to make sure an ancient and powerful artifact doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
Catch Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny now showing in theaters.
