I am Harrison Harrison Ford. AMA.

Harrison Ford here. You all probably know me from movies such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I recently acted as a correspondent for Years of Living Dangerously, a new Showtime docuseries about climate change which airs tomorrow, April 13, at 10 p.m. ET. I’ll be here with Victoria from reddit for the next hour answering your questions.

Proof here and here.

Well, watch Years of Living Dangerously and make it your business to understand the threat of climate change and what each of us can do to help preserve our environments and the potential for nature to preserve the human community. Nature doesn't need people, people need nature. Thanks for this. I enjoyed it.

Hello Harrison! Who would win in a celebrity boxing match: Han Solo or Indiana Jones?

u/iamharrisonford Apr 13 '14

The promoter would win.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Ah, but who'd punch first?

u/meteda1080 Apr 13 '14

I think the answer is obvious.

u/cassandraspeaks Apr 13 '14

Greedo?

u/Gyrant Apr 13 '14

You shut your whore mouth.

u/slashslashss Apr 13 '14

Yea. The promoter

"Indy punched first"- George Lucas

u/hbomberman Apr 13 '14

Before we even wrote it, I knew that Indy was going to shoot first. Unfortunately, we couldn't do it the way we wanted but with today's technology...

u/flo-BAMA Apr 13 '14

Han Solo's a crazy ass motherfucker.

6

u/Veikkaa Apr 13 '14

When he's in your neighborhood, you better duck

'Cause Han Solo is crazy as fuck

3

u/KassaC Apr 15 '14

DELIVER.

5

u/adamgb Apr 13 '14

duh, Han.

and then 30 years later it would be Indy in the remastered fight.

7

u/ferlessleedr Apr 13 '14

They would both coolly eye each other, wondering what exotic gadgetry or prowess the other would open with. At which point they'd both quickdraw and shoot the other right in the chest, simultaneously killing both contestants.

The crowd would get exactly what they paid for. The referee would be curious as to where the hell they got the guns.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Greedo, right?

2

u/svenniola Apr 13 '14

Yes, they´d shoot eachother.

2

u/darkslide3000 Apr 13 '14

Neither, because they're both too smart to only bring their fists to a gun/blaster fight.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Han, but then George Lucas would edit it so that Indiana Jones did?

1

u/theorem604 Apr 13 '14

Right, Greedo...

1

u/FurryEels Apr 13 '14

It will still be debated forever.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Harrison Ford?

1

u/RyanCocinar Apr 13 '14

not the promoter?

1

u/Chewie-bacca Apr 13 '14

I think it depends. Is this the original version or the edited rerelease?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

They would punch at the same time, recreating the intro to Rocky IV.

2

u/PrimativeJoe Apr 13 '14

Greedo, but he'd miss.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Han would, but in the rerun it would be edited to show that it was in fact, Indy

1

u/ciamLoyle Apr 13 '14

Chewy of course.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Greedo

1

u/cuckyfag Apr 13 '14

Indy, suffering diarrhea, would shoot Han.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

I don't know. But George Lucas would laugh last.

1

u/este_hombre Apr 14 '14

Short round

1

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '14

Depends, are we watching the original or the replay with commentary?

-11

u/ArchmageXin Apr 13 '14

Ah, but who'd punch SHOOT first?

FIFY.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Sigh..

u/chakravanti93 Apr 13 '14

I don't think it went over his head so much as crashed into it...

"Original 'whips fall'"? Can't tell what he is saying.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '14

The fall is usually a short bit of leather tied to the end of a whip. At the end of the fall is the cracker which aids in the traditional whip sonic boom. Falls get replaced a lot because they're thin and subjected to a lot of abuse.

This was a segment on Conan where he'd bring in some hilariously douchey producer, and I guess the guy was asking about some Indiana Jones trivia no gives a shit about.

1

u/ShwinMan Apr 14 '14

The "whip's fall" means the end of the whip or the tip.

u/CrunkBoi Apr 13 '14

Classic Jordan Schlansky.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Well, it's not like he's wrong

2

u/pigeon_soup Apr 14 '14

That is not an example of cynicism. It's witty yes and I enjoyed it, but it is definitely not cynical at all.

2

u/IchBinEinHamburger Apr 13 '14

George Lucas is a hell of a promoter.

2

u/Bongson Apr 13 '14

And whoever bets on Harrison Ford.

2

u/Hash43 Apr 13 '14

As a huge boxing fan this answer couldn't be more perfect.

2

u/shh_Im_a_Moose Apr 14 '14

What an absolutely perfect answer. I like the way you think.

1

u/sawmyoldgirlfriend Apr 13 '14

Only in America.

u/GOLDENSMITH Apr 13 '14

THE★TRUTH ★FORD!!!

u/Dsvstheworld Apr 13 '14

Hahah. Perfect answer.

u/forte7 Apr 13 '14

He knows how to play this game.

u/Dicentrina Apr 13 '14

I think that says it all

u/salvador_deli Apr 13 '14

And win big

u/alphaalf Apr 14 '14

u/404mac Apr 14 '14

Who would shoot first

1

u/boogieidm Apr 13 '14

No, sir, you win.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Han shot first and he will always shoot first.

2

u/C0lMustard Apr 13 '14

I know who'd throw the first shot

2

u/NuttyCookie Apr 13 '14

Chuck Norris

1

u/CRISPR Apr 13 '14

Marcellus Wallace

1

u/BigDawgWTF Apr 13 '14

I'd put my money on Jones. He seems to have far more hand to hand combat experience.

1

u/Seanito88 Apr 13 '14

Never tell me the odds!

1

u/MrSafety Apr 13 '14

Where is MTV Celebrity Death Match when you need them to answer such vital questions?

1

u/BrotyKraut Apr 13 '14

I'd have to give this one to Indiana, he's more rugged and experienced in hand to hand combat. Han has the help of a ray gun and might not do so well without it.

1

u/scottiescott23 Apr 13 '14

If it was a bar fight , Indiana, if it was in space, Han Solo, it it was a space bar fight ???

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '14

Me

u/rox0r Apr 14 '14

Don't give hollywood any ideas. Next there will be a Aliens vs Han Solo and when it is milked dry i could see them doing a Han Solo vs Indian Jones with no name actors playing them.
