Who's your favorite Indy girl?

[Gear]

just out'a curiosity...



mines Marion.:)

[Shortie]

Marion followed by Willie. Elsa (though hawt) was a Nazi traitor.:D I've never played the game the other chick was in.

[Dr.Sartorius]

Sophia Hapgood is my favorite.

BTW there's about 500 other threads on this board with the same exact topic.

[Eric Solo]

Elsa Schneider. Marion was the only Indy girl I liked.

[IAdventurer01]

... how do you have Mie Ying and not Sophia? :confused:


Oh well, out of the LISTED choices, my favorite is Marion.

Marion was the only Indy girl I liked.

While I don't entirely agree with that statement due to knowledge of Indy girls outside the films, I think pretty much everyone has to admit that Indy does not have the best taste in women.

[Gear]

I dont know who Sophia is. Is she from Infernal Machine? Well Ive never played it. Sorry.

[Gear]

DAMN! Marion's kickin' some butt! :whip:

[Dr.Sartorius]

I dont know who Sophia is. Is she from Infernal Machine? Well Ive never played it. Sorry.

Sophia is from the Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis PC game and graphic novel - and Infernal Machine game.

[Gear]

Oh! I know who your talking about but I've never played either game. She is hot though :)

What?! :confused:

[Grant Lutjens]

I think he means "Noobs" because we havent read the comic book or played the game..... Like me :D I havnt. And DONT plan on it. I am a MOVIE Indy fan.
I like it due to HF acting ,and the movie layout.... I mean... Ok say its a book..... If you just changed the main charcters name form "Indiana Jones" to say "John Gadson" You wouldnt look at it.... You are doing it because you watched Indy movies ,and now relate to them.

[IAdventurer01]

What?! :confused:

:rolleyes: You're just proving his point, here.

Actually, in my opinion Fate of Atlantis is just good. Period. Even if it were John Gadson and the Fate of Atlantis, it would still be one of my favorite games.

[Gear]

Emperors Tomb is the only Indy game i've played. partialy because I have a PS2 and With the computer im using, Im not gunna buy a PC video game it would never run! Never played Infernal Machine for the same reson above and because I never had an N 64.

[Johan]

Actually I liked his wife...Deidre Campbell.

My sentiments exactly. Newbies, feel free to dig up old posts, especially polls in which you already know who ranks number one...

Damn, she's hot!

,-)

[deckard24]

I voted on this once or twice before but I couldn't resist. Karen Allen is hot, and she still looks good today. Even better in person! She needs to go back to having dark hair though, and lose the blond highlights.

[Gear]

ya she's hot! But I havent seen her recently.

[Indy1986]

well for me Alison Doody is the hottest Indy girl ...no doubt:whip:

[Finn]

Now now, I see some harsh comments here. Although I'd prefer consulting Mr. Sam Earch as well before opening a new thread (nothing wrong with reviving old ones if it's done well), let's keep it civil.

Fixed the poll, btw. If Mei Ying's there, Sophia also has to be.

[Violet]

MARION, DUDE!

Who else would I be voting for? For character reasons, coz she's actually got guts.

[arkfinder]

Since I just watched "Temple" last night I'm going with Willie Scott.

[Vendetta08]

If there's one thing Indy lacks in, it's good looking girls. Marion/Karen Allen was a pretty good actress but wasn't the best looking. Willie/Capshaw's acting was atrocious. Elsa/Alison was the best on the eyes but her acting sure wasn't.

Bah, I'm just going to go with Marion because she's the original and was spunky.

[Johan]

I still think this thread needs Deidre Campbell.

[IndySeven]

Go Marion! She's got spunk, she's got looks, she's got adventure!:cool:

[Eric Solo]

Karen Allen is still hot! She was great in everything she was in especially Starman.
Nothing like a violent smart ass who can drink you under the table. Go Marion.

[fixer79]

Alison Doody for me, thank you ;)

[Doctorjones]

Marion, then Willie.

[indy34]

willie is anoying i chose marion my second choice would have been elsa even though she is a back stabing %$#^ch:up:

[Attila the Professor]

The real shame is that I, Finn, and whoever don't have any non-pixelated pictures of Sophia Hapgood to post in threads like these. I feel that would change matters a bit.

[Matinee Idyll]

Vicky... then Marion.

[CaliforniaJones]

Marion is the best, she's feisty, and she looks just like my soon to be wife.;)

Lucky man... :hat:

[eazybox]

I love all 3 Indy girls, but would have to vote for Marion.

Willie's character is selfish and vain (but less so toward the end of the movie), and Elsa's duplicitous and self-serving nature nearly gets Indy, his dad, Marcus Brody and Sallah killed.

Marion's fragile external beauty and grace are enhanced by an inner core as tough as tempered steel-- a combination that makes her extremely appealing. So glad Karen Allen is back for IJ4.

All 3 of them did very good work with the material they were given.

Don't have any experience with the games.

Her.

[|ZiR|]

Willie!

She's the best of them, I find, because of her completely plausible reactions to everything that happens to her. She's a glitzy nightclub singer who was swept up, against her will, into this strange adventure.

She's argumentative, frightened, but she still makes it through in the end. People don't give her enough credit.

OK, she screams a lot. ("The trouble with her... is the noise." :rolleyes:) To be sure, most people, not necessarily females, would scream were they in her situation too. I probably would!

And I do like Marion. It's only that her character was never developed enough for my satisfaction. There's all this history between Indy and herself that's constantly alluded to throughout the film, but never divulged. Also, when Jones and the audience believe she died, it's like it hardly matters. "Oh, Marion blew up. That sucks." *cut to Indy drunk*

He hardly shows any emotion over it. I dunno. I don't like that.

And Elsa. Elsa, Elsa, Elsa. Much potential, though sadly her character took the backseat to Indy and papa Jones. Perhaps rightly so. Who can say? All I know is that I felt nothing for her. Not because she was a Nazi sympathizer, but because at the end of the film we are still as strangers.

I wonder, has Harrison Ford ever expressed to having a favorite leading lady? I don't mean the actresses who played them, rather the characters themselves. I get the feeling he likes Marion the best.

Well, I'd say the emotion is definitely there; I don't expect Indy to fall down to the ground, weeping, and to resort to sackcloth and ashes. He hit the bottle pretty dramatically, and he seemed pretty upset.

Also, you mention how the history between them is constantly alluded to - quite so. To explicitly divulge what happened would be to take away from the film, because we don't really need to know.

Yes, you're right about that. It would be out of character for Indiana. I think it's more the pacing of the film in regards to the events that bugs me. It all happens too fast for my tastes. He see Marion again for the first time in 10 (?) years, there's little dialogue, a tense bar brawl, and the very next thing they're in Cairo. Again, few bits of cute banter between Indy and Marion, fight breaks out, Marion dies.

I hate that. Marion is introduced, then killed off in in like 15 - 20 mins! That's just... poor pacing, imo. It's sort of the same thing with Elsa, except Marion thankfully shows up again and is sucessfully made as her own person. Imagine if we didn't have the scenes between Marion and Belloq in the tent, and the next time we saw her was when Indy does. That would be terrible.

And, yeah. Uhm, I think I've sort of lost whatever point I was trying to make. Ha. I suppose all I want to say is that, at the end of the day, I believe Marion is a good character who's almost ruined by shoddy pacing and/or writing. That's all. But I admit that she certainly get's her own back after her reappearance.

Also, you mention how the history between them is constantly alluded to - quite so. To explicitly divulge what happened would be to take away from the film, because we don't really need to know.

That's probably true. Raiders is, at heart, an action film. A quick, "on the edge of your seat" rollercoaster ride. The sort of emotional scene that would go along with a deep, drawn out discussion of their past would detract from the story.

But, well, I'm stickler for details! I can't help but want to know. It's bad enough that we're never even given Marion's birthdate, so we'll never know how inappropriate their relationship actually was. And how did Marion end up stuck in Nepal? Questions beg answers.

[metalinvader]

Marion is awesome! Lots of spunk and isn't afraid to throw a punch when needed!Elsa may have been the sexiest but Marion had it where it counted in the personality area!

I still think Marion was the sexiest. :up:

[Jones Junkie]

Hands down Marion. Any woman, pretty as she, that can outdrink most, if not all the drunks in the bar is a woman that I admire and respect. She's a tough old lass and she knows it. :)

[herr gruber]

I would choose Fraulein Ravenwood. She is spunky but also fragile. She could punch me in the jaw any time and I would thank her. Elsa Schneider is a German, so I would place her a close second, the traiterous vixen.

:eek:

[otto rahn]

Marion for mine. I do like the way that Willie goes from being a screaming encumberance to a usefull sidekick during the course of "Temple Of Doom" however.
