Greatest action adventure ever made and I suspect that will remain the case. Not to mention smack in the middle of one of the most creative eras of film. Glad I was a kid to enjoy it all then.
And one one of my favorite things to look for...the Toht dummy. Never gets old!
As I understand it, it's not actually a dummy, that's stuntman Peter Diamond. They told him not to move, so he didn't. The thread on the subject at COW has since been purged, unfortunately.
...anyone care to discuss the theory that Indy serves no point in the movie? That he does absolutely nothing to affect the outcome of the movie? I'm sure you have all heard of this. I'm not, by any means, saying I agree with it, but anyone care to comment on it?
When the initial buzz for this movie was going on (which was mostly in Starlog) I had just spent the last couple of years so utterly and completely immersed in Star Wars, I honestly had reservations about it. I mean c'mon, no spaceships, no ray guns? How am I supposed to get into this?
But I did go see it when it hit theaters and boy was I surprised! I was quite happy to admit that I was 100% wrong in my misgivings. Yeah, it is pretty much a perfect movie.
On another note, anyone care to discuss the theory that Indy serves no point in the movie? That he does absolutely nothing to affect the outcome of the movie? I'm sure you have all heard of this. I'm not, by any means, saying I agree with it, but anyone care to comment on it?
I don't buy into the whole Indy doesn't matter thing.
