Indiana Jones (Original Trilogy) Confusion
I'm rewatching the original Indiana Jones trilogy in preparation for the new movie (and the Lego game). I've seen these a million times, so I can start to get nitpicky.
Let's start with the famous "basket chase" sequence in Raiders: * In Nepal, Marion is shown as a "tough as nails" hard drinking with a powerful right hook. Suddenly, in Cairo she's a squealing girly girl? * At one point, a bunch of random dudes run up to Indy and start stroking him. What the hell is that all about? |
In RAIDERS,
Toht's eyes roll up into his skull. His nose burns off. Then his ear lobes melt off. Then his tongue melts off. His glasses? Fall off. |

OK, so does Indiana Jones drop off Short Round in some boarding school and forget about him prior to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK?
|
I thought they were beggars or something. Indy throws some change and they all run to it.

Oh yeah -- what's with Sallah using his own children as a human shield to protect Indy?

Different time. I was watching Raiders this weekend and I was thinking the same thing. The only answer - a different time, when children would never even be considered as "targets" (at least in movies). -Doc |

Why was Indy was more like Belloc in Temple of Doom, where he bartered Nurhachi for a large diamond?

Never mind that. How come Indy tells Marcus Brody early on in Raiders that he doesn't believe in "hocus pocus" or any sort of magic when a year earlier in Temple of Doom he witnessed Mola Ram pulling a dude's heart out without it killing him and a stone powerful enough to destroy and revive all the crops in a village?

"I am a dark reflection of you... it would only take a slight push for you to become like me." Thankfully, Indy had an experience a year prior which reprioritized his archeological goals/methods.

How about when Indy goes for his gun in 1935 to shoot the thugee and the gun isn't there? Then, a year later he does the same thing QUITE CASUALLY. If it were me, I'd be worried that my gun was missing again. :)

Question:
Who teaches Dr. Jones' classes when he's away on his excursions? His T.A.'s? I'm surprised Marshall College hasn't fired the guy yet for his long - and frequent - and spotaneous - absences. |

But what about his dad? Those guys seem too close in age to be father/son. |
Have any of you ever tried to escape from an elevated basket? It's not that easy. Besides, she did brain that guy with a frying pan and pull a knife on Belloc. She's a badass.

What mastermind built that rollercoaster of a mine car track in Temple Of Doom?
Mola Ram must just come back from Six Flags... |
Is it possible, using ancient Hovito technology, to make a booby-trap that's operated by breaking the sunlight?
And wouldn't it be easier to avoid that trap if Indy and Dr. Octopus just went in at night? |

How do you go through life with the last name "Doody"?
