Raiders of the Lost Ark

[Santino]

Can anyone find a flaw in this film?

 

[Stigmata]

It lacks the grail knight from Last Crusade

 

[5t3IIa]

Nope.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

it technically is in the same series as the crystal skull

 

[Nanker Phelge]

No - it does everything a good adventure film should...

....and it has Karen Allen.

 

[5t3IIa]

I have it on VHS and save it for when I need it.

You chose... poorly.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

We do too. I reared jnr on Indy and Star Wars.

Pfft. Join us in the future, we have LaserDiscs.

 

[bonjour]

Got the trilogy recently. It's the only one Ive yet to watch. Shall report back after much scrutiny.

 

[5t3IIa]

trilogy

You chose wisely.

 

[Santino]

I think Crystal Skull has some good bits in it. I like the man-eating ants.

 

[Stigmata]

I liked the bit with the motorbike at the university

 

[Santino]

I like how William Hootkins' American accent comes and goes in Raiders.

 

[5t3IIa]

Have this in my bedroom Is wrong Indy though

 

[Obnoxiousness]

It has Nazis who get their comeuppance... and the classic government storage facility scene at the end, talk about kicking stuff into the long grass. I also love the little aircraft/map graphics.

The Ark of the Covenant is in Axum, Ethiopia, not Egypt.

 

[Obnoxiousness]

The Ark of the Covenant is in Axum, Ethiopia, not Egypt.

Does it really exist? Or is that where it is thought to be?

Yes, it's kept in Axum and has been for thousands of years.

However, nobody is allowed to see it except the priests.

 

[kabbes]

As a film, I feel that it didn't contain enough wanking.

When I worked in the newsroom many years ago (in Dublin), a chap wrote a letter to us saying that it was buried at the Hill of Tara - and that Gerry Adams and Ian Paisely should dig it up. Mind you, the letter went on for several pages in different colour inks, lots of underlines and exclamation marks!

I guess he might have been mistaken...

 

[goldenecitrone]

Harrison saved all that for the Tom Clancy movies.

 

[Santino]

However, nobody is allowed to see it except the priests.

Handy that.

You say that about everything. You even said it about Hot Studs Wanking IV: The Wankathon.

Well there was that moment that they showed them walking into the room. MOAR WANKING.

Yup it's supposed to be in here. Probably isn't there but the place looks like it should be and it's still one of the places in the world I really want to see.

Lalibela

It's definitely not in there because I've been in there and had a good look around. It's supposed to be in Axum.

 

[goldenecitrone]

In here.
