Locked in the "tomb" with Marion by Belloq and the Nazis, Indy faces certain death-by-million-fangs as his flamingdies out. Locating the resting place of the Ark turns from joy to fear for Indiana when he discovers the Well of the Souls is swarming with snakes. Of course, the Nazis are after the same object and it results in a mighty clash of fists and bullets which ends with the bar being burned to the ground. Indy, on the trail of an artifact that will help locate the Ark, tracks down his old flame and owner of the artifact in her bar. And the cinema laughed.įor pure, unadulterated action in an Indiana Jones movie you don't have to look much further than the bar fight in Nepal in the early moments of Raiders. Indy's face takes on an expression of "I really can't be bothered to fight this guy" so he pulls out his pistol and shoots him dead. Our hero, you'll recall, is chasing Marion who has been kidnapped in Cairo and a crowd he's fighting through after engaging in fisticuffs with enemies suddenly parts and he's confronted by the guy swishing his big sword around menacingly. Raiders of the Lost Ark is full of great moments, but Indy's battle with the big dude in the turban wielding his scimitar like a ninja is a classic. (Nerd alert! Incidentally, we wonder if LucasArts will include the little Raiders Easter Egg of R2-D2 and C-3PO appearing as hieroglyphics in the Well of the Souls.)īattle with the man with the big scimitar Whether this would get past censors is another matter. Imagine how good a melting plastic LEGO head could look with today's technology. What starts off all very nice with beautiful ghostly angels flying around turns nasty, and skin melts off the faces of the chief Nazis and Belloq's head exploding.
You know the score: after overcoming various horrible traps during the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy finally manages to get his hands on an artifact, only to end up being chased out a tunnel by a massive stone ball.Īs the quest for the Ark of the Covenant reaches its climax, Indy's archaeologist opponent Belloq and his Nazi pals hold a Jewish ritual and open the Ark. Okay, we're cheating a bit with this one as we've already seen it in the first trailer, but it's the iconic moment from the films.
