LOL! I always found that to be a hoot. They dig for hours upon hours to find the hidden place, and all along there was an exposed back door down the hill...Facing an airplane landing strip, too!

Didn't God hang out with Adam and Eve?

Dude, Archaeology with Jones, easiest A ever!

If we asked Lucas about these plotholes, he would probably say that in the spirit of trying to recreate adventure serials of the 1930's, these were all intentional as a tribute since the serials were full of plotholes.

I don't think so, most interpretations of that passage has indicated it is indeed confirmation that man is not to see God...what Moses was allowed to see was nothing but the Lord's "back" - almost like God's presence, I would call it God's glory, so to speak. Moses was pleading for God to give him something..and most god gave him affirmation of his presence - but Moses was not allowed to actually see God.

I'm glad you brought that quotation up, because it sure seems like that passage is where Raiders was basing most of its "killing spree on"

The Nazis and Belloq did indeed see God's face (as shown by the angel's face turning into a skull and their faces melting off) and were punished for it. As the passage you mentioned says: ""you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.""

The "Leap of Faith" from LC always sort of baffled me.

There's just no way that optical illusion could work, taking into account viewing angles and binocular vision.

It looks cool on film, but in reality it wouldn't fool anyone.

There are four guys carrying Ark. Two of them you cannot see their faces. The two that you do see are NOT blindfolded.

Still doesn't make sense. You're saying it's a perpetual motion machine...their snake bodies creating more matter than they consume, which is impossible.

Wow, I hope ol' melty-face's glasses didn't accidentally fall into the Ark then, because they were originally designed for human eyes...pity if they became unavailable to them.

I was completely joking.

I didn't even think it looked very cool on film. I think it looks confusing. Not sure how it's really supposed to work.

I have the same problem with the X on the Venice library floor. Can you only see it when you stand above it on the stair case? When they start beating on the floor there is no X there. It's bothered me since day one of seeing the film.

You may be right. I could be confusing the image with that in the comic.

Mola Ram's demise.... so basically the stones light up, he tries to catch one and falls off the cliff? Lame...

Sir, you have just raped my childhood.

:lol: Hope you're childhood will recover! Funny though what Sean OHara said could be applied to just about any film. If character A had just done X in the film, then there wouldn't even be a need for the film and everyone would be better for it. :lol:

Anyway, Indiana Jones' goal in Raiders is to see the Ark in a museum. That is why he is so pissed off at the end when the government takes it away . . . (spoiler for Crystal Skull)

:lol:

Nice. I always assumed they came out of the 'exposed' portion of the building, because when they're pouring out of the wall, Indiana gets his idea to smash through it, which leads to the outside.

I'm guessing that post #92 contains an unexpected spoiler for the new film inside the spoiler tag, since I read it and it doesn't jive with anything in the existing film. :(

Haha...I know, I read that, and I was like, OMG, he's totally right.

I'll amend . . .

You are correct, Sir!
