Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 3/5 @ 10 PM ET

Is there such a place? The building in the mountain? It’s pretty spectacular.

Yes, it’s called Petra. It’s in modern-day Jordan.

IIRC, it was damaged by terrorism in the last 10 or 20 years. :frowning:

After this film, I had to look up penitent.

Thanx Badger. That sux about the terrorism.

Frakkin booby-traps. These knights must have had a bunch of time on their hands. Um, yeah, they did. I forgot.

In faith, the first step is the hardest.

[spoiler]It doesn’t get easy.[/spoiler]

I love how the knight is still there. It ain’t some skeleton like you’d think.

The “Name of God” bit annoys me. The knights were from the First Crusade, so around 1000 CE.

The name “Jehovah” wasn’t in common usage until the 13th century. Before that, the “name of God” would have been depicted by most Christians as Adonai, Dominus, or Deus.

And, in any case, the letter J wasn’t used in English or Latin, by anyone, until the 16th century.

Great scene, but it bugs me. :slight_smile:

Love the aging bit and Else sells it.

“He chose…poorly.”

Love that line delivery. He is so calm.

“It would not be made out of gold.”

Thanx Elsa. You’re really on the ball. Well, she is a blonde. ducks

I think it was something about the carvings of human figures. That’s prohibited by Islam, so inevitably someone decided to right that grievous wrong that had been there undisturbed for centuries. :frowning:

“We named the dog Indiana.”

Wonderful all the way to the end.

Into the sunset…

Evil has no timetable.

That can be seen from both perspectives.

I always got the sense that she led him astray on purpose, possibly to keep the grail for herself.

No, not riding off into the sunset.

Riding toward the nuclear testing. :stuck_out_tongue:

Say what you want about the last film. I’ll take an Indy film over most of the shite out there.

Yeah, it certainly wasn’t a bad movie, but it’s easily the least of the four.

I have such a difficult time choosing favorites. It’s like choosing a favorite child. I love them all and they all have marvelous bits in them.

I loved the nuke the fridge part. Made me chuckle.

See, that took me right out of the film. Even on the off-chance that the fridge was lined with lead, and it was somehow so well-insulated that the air inside of it didn’t reach thousands of degrees, just bouncing around in that metal coffin probably would have liquefied him.

If there was even the slightest bit of reality to the scene, when they found the fridge, it should have been full of partially cooked, radioactive pink goo. And a bullwhip.
