As opposed to "ripped the heart out", which is applicable to the less liked Temple of Doom.

I don't care about being spoiled on the new Indy movie, so after reading that quote about him surviving a nuked fridge, I know I won't be missing anything but a hell of a funny scene. I'm laughing at the idea of that right now, it's so ridiculous

oh yeah and then he steps out of the fridge and stands right under the mushroom cloud... just stands there watching the mushroom cloud grow, from right under it...
it was a multimedia insult to the intelligence of the viewer... 'nuked the fridge'... i love this one...

Wow, this one is just stupid. Mostly because there's dozens of big movie moments that are far more offensive to reality.
This saying completely hacks the mothership.

"Hacks the mothership" is way better than "Nuke the fridge".
This whole "nuke the fridge" reminded me of a scene in "Mean Girls". I couldn't remember exactly what the saying was they were trying to make popular. So I cheated and went to IMBD's memorable quotes and it was: Gretchen: That is so fetch! Regina: Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen! |

The definition of nuke the fridge nuked the fridge when they mentioned that Gremlins 2 nuked the fridge.

Wouldn't nuking the site from orbit effectively take out the fridge too?

"Jump the shark" was actually replaced by "Drove into a lake".
