I didn't really care about this, mostly since i saw temple of doom, which was a pile of shite, first. And to be quite frank, you usually don't survive falling a couple of hundred meters from a crashing plane, having a ride down a mountain covered with trees and then survive another hundreds of meters falling into a river. All the while sitting in a dinky blowup raft.

Eventurall if people dont understand,
What happend is Indy was a Test Ground in a 1950s Town full of Plastic dolls, then a Bomb goes off, without time to Spare Indy hides in a Fridge which said "LEAD LINED"
Which mean its protects him from the Radiation and then he escaped from it Rightside up.
I think you people forget that Steven and George got the impression from James Bond, simply place him in any trap and see how he can escape. but you also did forget Indy's mind was working to try
and Watching him finding his escape, its up their with Temple off Doom Yellow Raft or my favorite the water fall boat ride, Indy is one luck Bastard

He also would have ben pounded into chunky salsa by the blast, repeated impacts and crash.
I get that it's an action movie, but that just broke the suspension of disbelief -o-meter.

it says lead line if you watch it again it did protect him from the nuke

And the 20Gs of concussive force that would've liquified Dwayne Johnson's bones?

I think what annoys people the most is that the nuclear blast came out of nowhere. You could take those 10 minutes away from the movie and it wouldn't make a diffidence.
It was for show. It it was a decisive part of the movie like: A fight + countdown + no option = Over the top solution. I think that way people wouldn't be so upset.

Why do so many people HATE this scene?! Are you THAT narrow-minded?! Sure, it's unlikely to happen to the average person, and the fridge would probably not protect anyone from a nuclear blast, but let's face it: would YOU have had a better spur-of-the-moment solution if you were only SECONDS AWAY from being blown into ATOMS? I DIDN'T THINK SO!!! The only REAL safety would be to distance yourself, which wasn't an option at the time.
And besides, it's JUST. A. MOVIE. For proof, go here: [link]

How anyone can survive in a fridge against a Fat-man based nuclear weapon is beyond my scope of insight!

Thanks to this, now we have a new idiom to describe the downfall of a franchise...

A web comic about an extremly hazardous, over caffienated, Polar Bear who runs a Paintball Store that limits it's services somewhere in the region of inter dimentional travel. And covers everything else from paintball gun upgrades, to high explosives, to Fusion reactors, and also happens to include a few cartons of mutated, expired, chinese food with tentacles... And remember... Explosives solve EVERYTHING!

Lucas was just the pawn, if you want to blame anyone for this film, you should blame Harrison Ford XD

I'm still waiting for the Mythbusters to test this.

Now if only they could do that to the fridge in my office... probably the ONLY way the sterilize the life-forms growing in it.

I think Lucas has been hanging out with the Hollyweird for too long.

God I hated that movie. And I adore Indiana Jones. But the premise of Crystal Skull, never mind some of the scenes, was just embarrassing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'd say that was the only part of Crystal Skull I didn't really care for. The rest was actually a pretty good flick, but I still say freefalling from an airplane, then from a cliff in a rubber raft and not having a scratch to show for it was more unbelievable...

if it wasn't for the fact that *said in an earlier comment* he had drinken from the holy grail, and i guess given iternal life, he would not have survived the jaring of the impact when the fridge hit the ground... fine, the fridge saved him from radiation... but come on that should have atleast knocked him out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true. He was backed by holy-heal-all, not a crash helmet.

Considering Indy drank from the Holy Grail itself in Last Crusade, the blessed chalice that could grant immortality to its imbiber, is surviving this really that huge of a stretch?
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
But according to the last crusade, Indy was only immortal as long as he was in that specific cave.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But then why didn't his father's wounds heal when he left the cave? Sure he isn't completely immortal, but the fact that he drank from the Holy Grail says something about his survivability.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like I just said, you're only immortal as long as you're IN that cave. Sure the grail restored his life, but it didn't completely repair his wounds.Remember, the bullet that he was shot with was still in the body when he had enough health to walk again.
My guess is that a while after he left the the bullet gave him led poisoning, which is why he's "not around" in indy 4.

Or because more than a decade had passed, and Indy's father was an old man to begin with? (Though in reality, I think Sean Connery is only something like eight years older than Harrison Ford, which, while irrelevant, I always thought was interesting.)
One way or the other, it's obvious God likes Indy. And besides that, Crystal Skull is a popcorn movie like the other ones - canon explanation or no, it's just there to be enjoyed.

I defend Crystal Skull, honestly. It's good adventurous fun like all the other Indiana Jones movies.
Doesn't change the fact that Raiders and Crusade are still the best, but...

Crusade was a great flick. My fav by far.

Wow! That was a great article. Thank you.

I liked that movie! Buuuuuut I do have to agree that the atomic fridge escape was just too far fetched.

Dude, Indy survived jumping off a plane and sliding down a mountain using an inflatable raft. Surviving a nuclear blast by hiding inside a lead-lined fridge isn't that far off. At least it's based on fact.
I was more put off by aliens. All the other movies had religious artifacts...and then he throws aliens into it? Whenever any fiction suddenly and haphazzardly throws aliens into it ... that's a true sign of jumping the shark. Makes me think of the movie Bolt, for some reason...

Extra-dimensional aliens.
They're the ones stealing one sock out of the dryer, and putting all kinds of creepy crap underneath your sofa cushions!

Nah. Those aliens all look like Jamie Farr.

According to that time-killer known as TvTropes, the film fully establishes IJ as your standard Fantasy Kitchen Sink.

Ahh, Tv tropes. Love that site. Plus, I made two listings on it. Go fig.

Hm. You know, I already directed you to Spoony and the Bum for Avatar. Might as well give you their opinions on THIS, too.
Spoony: [link]
Bum: [link]
Me? I'm favoriting this because, quite frankly, this was the Wall-Banger moment for me and my nephew. We laughed ourselves silly through the rest of the film.

I loved those reviews. Spoony nails both films perfectly each time.
