I do think we need to remember how unbelievable the first 3 Indy films were at times too to correctly judge indy 4. I know Onlion agrees with you on the fridge scene Wilson, however it really wasn't the first ridiculous scene in an indy film:

- 'spirits' flying out of the arc of the covenant and killing everybody (almost) - this kind of religious gesture is quite a leap of faith!

- Indy is put under a mind controling trance by drinking some blood potion - again, quite a niche bellief but perhaps the most possible out of these.

- the mine cart run! however fun and awesome that scene is we have to surly believe it is only luck that lets them live? (the same luck involved in surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge?)

- We see a 600+year old _living_ Medievill Knight protecting the Holy Grail

- They find the Holy Grail that somehow instantly heals Indy's mate (Henry?) from certain, shot in the chest, death

This is all ignoring the fact that Indy is just a flipping Lecturer at an American University who has a penchant for Archeology!

Not that i think any of the above are bad, i just think that the fridge scene was actually quite in keeping with the series of getting progressively more bizarre and actually more and more lucky! I think this is one point to why people love Indy, he is probably the luckiest guy on the planet that seemingly has more lives than a cat while maintaining a bit of chivalry while hes at it! He often substitutes skill for brute force or a bit of madcap comic 'falling over' to get out of tight spots.

I'm with you Kirsty in that i would prefer to have Indy looking for more traditional artifacts than supernatural ones! And perhaps that woman was thrown back in a bit quick, it just seemed like they needed to protect the longevity of the franchise with the introduction of the 'new' indy. I suppose it is a money making business after all, maybe they could have used a little more subtlety!

HE SURVIVES A NUCLEAR BLAST BY HIDING IN A FRIDGE.

That just about sums up my feelings on the issue. I really dont wanna sound miserable but my god, Spielberg was being sold some seriously dodgy weed around the time the screenplay was written for Indy 4.

Also, for an Indy 5 it means that Shia will have to drag himself away from Megan Fox for a while... I wouldnt bother personally ;D

Have you seen her in Leicester square last night? Dear Lord.

This is my first ever post on a forum - EVER!

I heard somewhere that Harrison Ford was the highest paid actor last year with somthing like $40 million dollars from just the one film!? i supose they got it back in ticket sales a plenty!

But did we get enough from Indy 4 to warrent an Indy 5? 

I'm actually less critical on this one compared to most other people, i thought indy 4 was great for the main part, it was only the wierd inclusion of aliens that dragged it to debate...  wasnt it?

What do you lot think?

Should there be an indy 5?

Did you like indy 4?
