Indiana Jones inaccuracies. Add to the list.

[drusselmeyer]

Personally, I would have liked to have seen something like "Indiana Jones and the Blackbird of Malta" but for whatever reason, the adventures have to be awkward after Raiders.

There is so much weird stuff to be explored, it is astonishing that almost everything amazing was missed for these stories.

Next sequel: Indiana Jones and the Social Security Check of Poverty.

Ask the guy who built it. The real Ark has the Ten Commandments in it along with other items. This one was filled with sand and obviously boobie trapped.

If someone opens the Ark who God doesn't want to, he temporarily transforms the contents into sand (and them kills them for their hubris).

 

[drusselmeyer]

That's not what I read. There was a mention of disease and boils but nothing about sand or proton pack blasts.

I don't think sir Steven or GL read much of the original text before directing the film either. Even Demille didn't quite get it right.

As so many here have indicated indirectly: always study the source material to avoid stupid mistakes.

The Indiana Jones films are projected at 24fps, when the human eye can perceive a comparative framerate, studies show, of perhaps 75fps or more.

The Indiana Jones films are therefore grossly inaccurate and should not be watched.

Am i the only one who feels that "the search for Excalibur" who have been an awesome idea?

 

[greenmachines]

I think He should dedicate one show entirely to recovering the crown jewels from the Tower of London and placing them in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo.

Does Indy scuba dive?

No. You are not alone. We could probably start an entire new thread about all the things IJ and the could (should?) have included.

-Irish Crown Jewels
-The Blackbird (as I mentioned previously)
-Shambala
Etc etc etc

You mean like an actual plot?

 

[greenmachines]

I think he could do a Jay Leno's Garage style series where they just open one box out of the warehouse at area 51 in each episode.

 

[drusselmeyer]

How about Warehouse 13 starting Harrison Ford?

Indiana Jones seems like such a missed opportunity after all these years.

Maybe if Sir Steven had been taped down in a chair and forced to watch the history channel for a week, he would have come up with several interesting films for IJ.

Oh well, we'll never know now.

Umm . . . the History Channel is probably where 'Crystal Skull' came from.

I'll just post this here:

No. If it weren't for Jones, Marion would have been tortured for the headpiece and possibly dead, Sallah would still be working for the bad guys, and the U.S. wouldn't have acquired the ark.

His mission was just to retrieve the ark. Mission accomplished. And along the way he changed some lives.

Wait a minute.

Jones actually led Toht to the headpiece. So, if it weren't for Jones, the bad guys likely wouldn't have found it in the first place. So he indirectly DID lead to the demise of Toht, Belloch and that other guy.

They would have found her eventually regardless, following Indy was just the fastest way to find her.
