great list, although i missed one scene: right at the beginning of raiders, in the cave when indy’s hanging in the pit, grabbing the vine and trying to drag himself out, the door keeps shutting down and takes like forever! You see like endless takes of that door shutting down always starting from the same height, yet it should have closed ten times already, leaving indy to be buried in that cave. it’s freaking hilarious and my personal no. 1 dumbest scene from the movies!
i realized this only when i was about 18, and that’s when i understood what you are explaining about the intended “b-movie dumbness”. but while other scenes may be even dumber, i think this scene should deserve no.1 because it’s the real f’ing first of all those near fatal, no-way-out situations, and he manages to get out of it, simply because the door apparently has some kind of rewind function every time it’s on the screen. it’s like Spielberg/Lucas were wiping it on our faces: “don’t take it seriously – stupid? yes. entertaining? hell yeah!” Simply ingenious.
Nice top 10, except I wouldn’t call taking out a plane with birds dumb. That is indeed a real hazard. Aviators and aerospace engineers refer to this as “bird strike”.
Astronaut Theodore Freedman lost his life to bird strike when a goose crashed into and punctured the cock-pit window of his T-38, subsequently causing broken glass to be sucked into the jet engine’s air intake and causing the engine to catch fire. Freedman had to eject, but he was too close to the ground for his chutes to deploy. His body was found nearly 100meters from the crash site.
This movies are great !! But I have to admit that I haven’t seen the last one .. and The first ona I saw was Tha last crusaide .. so That’s the no. 1 one for me..
why don’t we have a top 10 about james bond things.
like the best villians
or the hottest womans.
or dumbest moments.
or coolest chaces.
or for best movie.
i would like to see a top 10 or 20 about that.
btw indian jones awesome review.
i know i am going to piss people off right now but the fridge scene in mannequin nuke town i kinda liked it.
I liked the Nuketown scene. I know you can’t survive a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge, but you can survive a explosion by hiding in a fridge.
Of course not without getting.. um.. damaged and stuff, but it is possible.
the reason why they made indy shoot the swords man in raiders he was meant to whip the sword oout of his hands but harrison ford was sick at the time of filming so they went with a gun instead of a whip
and in temple of doom they added i think those scenes so it wouldnt ll be dark
All of those scenes were great, they’re just movies and they show some balls. Did Han shoot first isn’t even a question, yes he did, in the original movie he shot Greedo dead, Greedo didn’t even fire a shot, it was only in a special edition released afterwards that Greedo shot first, so the first Star Wars movie Han shot first.
If you remember the scene from raiders of the lost ark where Indy climbs on the german submarine that is about to dive, en the next scene we see Indy behind some crates in the harbor. How didn’t he drown and how did he got himself behind the crates unnoticed?
I always imagined that indy would crawl in a turpedo tube to stay alive or something weird like that. It would be an better explanation than none I guess.
My friend’s dad is a storyboard artist and he did a few scenes for Temple of Doom. He said that when he did the storyboard for the airplane-inflatable boat scene, the airplane swooped down really close to the ground so the raft was able to lightly glide to the ground from about 20 feet high or whatever and make a (more realistic) soft landing. Spielberg looked at it and decided to go with what in in the movie now. Needless to say, he was still flabbergasted about it a couple months ago when he told us about it.
I usually judge a movie by how good the story is and the characters. But when I see a movie like indiana jones or something like that. I just erase all the stuff I judge and have a fun ride.
The fridge moment couldn’t happen of course, but is really no crazier than any of these other things, ESPECIALLY the tank and the raft from the plane.
The strangest statement people make is “oh and OF COURSE it lands right side up, real big coincidence”. Huh? There was a 75% chance that it would, more really with the top and bottom, and it’s not like he couldn’t roll it over if it was upside-down. The only real unlikely part is that it didn’t open while he was flying, other than that what’s the big deal? Lots of debris gets thrown everywhere with powerful bombs, its not like only his fridge survived.
Just wanted to state that there have been airplain crashes due to birds crashing into them…it’s not that uncommen…they even test the front windows in an airplain by smashing chicken against it…so
I don’t understand why so many hate the kingdom of the crustall skull. Though I heard they are making a new one they could probably do without it. but Im going to see it none the less

the first thing i thought about before before pressing play was the fridge scene
The death of Cinema will be whenever they start making reality tv shows into reality tv movies.
I agree with 9 of the 10, but the birds in Last Crusade weren’t that far-fetched:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_strike

Don’t they already do that with documentaries?
“Depends on who your God is”
Actually for #3, they tested that on Mythbusters and it turned out pretty well

@tardjei939 well, pal…hate is a strong word…but l guess southpark said it best:
OMG they raped Indy! XD
in the first one it was actually that harrison ford had serious diarrhea…
That scene with Sean Connery scaring those seagulls makes me giggle every single time.
