Indy was originally slated to be an alcoholic,and drank many things throughout the movies including drugged blood. What one drink is on Indy's Tab in each of the movies and what was it he took away from Mutt?
Hint: one of the movies does not show the act of imbibing but it's consumption is MORE than insinuated!

Although the Brotherhood is named Cruciform Sword, the Symbol Tattooed on Brother Kazim does not incorporate the shape of a sword. Cruciform means having the shape of a cross and this it does; called a Tri-Bar Cross' or sometimes 'Byzantine', 'Eastern" or 'Orthodox' Cross.
What does the Tri-Bar Cross design represent in The Last Crusade?
Where else can the symbol be seen in the film and
which is the only one that includes the shape of a sword in it's design?

This version of the cross is unique in it's depiction of the Grail itself.
The curved top bar symbolizes the Grail Cup.
The symbol is visible throughout the film in the Grail Diary, only partially on the Grail Tablet in Walter Donovan's collection. It also appears on the Stained Glass window in the Venice Library, the Second Marker; Sir Richards Shield, Kazim and other brother's tattoos and clothes, and the Grail Knight's Tunic.
The one design which incorporates the sword can be seen as Elsa Schneider crosses the Great Seal.

In Lawrence Kazdan's early drafts of Raiders, Toht's name was Belzig and Dietrich's name was "Shliemann." Characters would be added and characters would be amalgamated or dropped, like Calvin Stansbury or Jules Spencer, however the name Shlieman survived all the way to the DVD releases. Where is Col. Deitrich referred to as Schliman?
Rocket Surgeon
03-09-2009, 10:44 AM
As Belloq maligns his associates as the type to " use a bulldozer to find a china cup" he discovers Indy's non-union sub-contractors violating Nazi labor laws and he calls to Deitrich demanding " Colonel, wake your men". This was likely a change made during ADR, as the Closed Captioning, most likely completed from an early script and or cut, reads "Shlieman! Wake your men. "

Are you going for, perhaps, Mac's "This is very dangerous"?
Dunno about Oxley, but I think that Indy's 'Damn, I thought that was closer' when he crashes through the truck windshield at least taps the fourth wall, if doesn't essentially break it, considering the audience is technically the only party "present" to whom he has to explain that mishap.
No, It seems Oxley had a moment where he does this. A senior moment, if you will. I remember that I was a tad bothered by the cinematic awkwardness of it. If my memory serves me right, it's while they're in Akator right before the natives attack the group.

The theme of the prayer and US motto is "In God We Trust" originally printed in the US on the 1864 two cent coin. The Aramaic Herald ran a short piece on this prayer citing movies that feature the language including Harry Potter. It's one place you can find it translated.

His work and the actual prop were based on paintings by French artist James Tissot

As you may have expected the opening of Temple of Doom presented Steven Spielberg with a great opportunity. He explains that he had always been a frustrated musical director and that "You can't help doffing your cap at Busby Berkley whenever you have a line of dancing girls with beautiful legs in sequin costumes in a kind of syncopated rhythm...it's impossible...". He would employ an effect as old as film itself when he simply ran the dancer's split in reverse to get them back on their feet.
The difficult half of the question regards the snakes guarding the Ark. While panning over the floor of the Well of Souls you can still see it, snakes tied head to tail like linked sausages being pulled along in one of the most low tech effects that you'll ever see. Pay special attention to the unusual movements of the snake moving to the torch Indy drops.
Even though he wasn't a fan of the not so special effect, the brief moment made the cut as Spielberg describes the fake snakes as June Taylor dancers on a string in Star Wars Insider 54, the Double sided Raiders Anniversary Issue.

Northern Illinois University archeology professor Winifred Creamer said "Indiana Jones is the worst thing to happen to archeology and walks a fine line between an archaeologist and professional looter." Who shares her opinion in each film?
Belloq has obviously spread this ugly rumour to the Hovitos and later objects to Indy giving mercenaries a bad name.
Major Eaton diplomatically questions and answers: "how does one say it? Obtainer of rare antiquities"
Indy himself describes the Shankara Stones as Fortune and Glory.
Willie accusingly asks Indy his motive for recovering the Shankara Stones and proposes Fortune and Glory which shorty confirms.
Chatter Lal mentions vicious rumours, Honduras and the Sultan of Madagascar's desire to cut off Indy's misunderstanding.
The small town Utah Sheriff promises the rightful owner [of the Cross of Coronado] wouldn't press charges if [Indy]gave it back.
Panama Hat declares: "this is the second time I've had to reclaim my property." and
Marion tells Mutt that Indy is some kind of grave robber and Indy nearly proves it over a Conquistador's knife.
Not great company, but let's hope Dr. Creamer's interpretations of past cultures are more insightful than her take on our pulp hero. The darkest movie shows Indy's adult motives begin to evolve from selfish to selfless. In her defence, Willie didn't see it either when she taunts, "you could have kept it, ...it would have given you your fortune and glory."

John Williams Greatest Action Hits: A Tribute by The London Symphony Orchestra has some Gems and Shining moments but some of the arrangements are the dirt you must sift through to get to them.

After the death of Leigh Brackett, he completed the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back, wrote the screenplay for Raiders and then, Return of the Jedi.
The Body Guard, written for Dianna Ross in the 70's was eventually made with Whitney Huston, but it was The Big Chill that put Kevin Costner in a casket. Despite the film title, in a role even an imaginative writer couldn't escaped unscathed, he couldn't crack Jack's psyche in As Good as it Gets.
But Lawrence Kasdan was tapped by David Koepp for the banter and Indy and Marion's rapport in Crystal Skull.

George Lucas characterized his creations in a recent interview as such:
I'm the father; [the films], that's my work. Then we have the licensing group, which does the games, toys and books, and all that other stuff. I call that the son - and the son does pretty much what he wants." He laughs. "Once in a while, they ask a question like 'Can we kill off Yoda?', things like that, but it's very loose. "Then we have the third group, the holy ghost, which is the bloggers and fans. They have created their own world. I worry about the father's world. The son and holy ghost can go their own way."
With this firmly in mind, please consider the following:
Indy barters with Marcus for tickets to Marrakesh because he believes it is the only place Belloq can sell the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, and his best chance at recovering it. In the expanded universe material he does with the help of Sallah, but what is the ultimate fate of the True Idol as filmed for Raiders?

As written: [Belloq] makes it clear that he did not escape with the idol.
After Belloq tells Indy he will hand the Ark over to the Fuhrer when he is finished with it, the next bit of dialogue is edited from the film.
Indy asks: Tell me, did you get away with the idol?
and Belloq tells him: I was lucky to get away with my life. The Hovitos proved quite narrow-minded about the whole matter.
I guess speaking Hovitos just isn't enough, or necessary!

An anachronism is anything that is temporally incongruous in the time period it has been placed in—that is, it appears sufficiently out of place as to be peculiar, incomprehensible or impossible. Pedro promised he wouldn't go into the merits of things that didn't appear on screen, which inspires this question: Which TWO locations presented the crew with anachronisms, television aerials that were decidedly NOT at home in the late 30's and how were the issues resolved?

I searched the archives and I found the question I had gripes about, way back when:
As a young boy, George Washington hoped to learn how to act like a proper eighteenth-century Virginia gentleman by copying the 110 "Rules of Civility" from a text by John T. Phillips. Which rule makes it to The Last Crusade?
Hint: The mailing address on the Grail Diary cannot be seen in the movie, neither can this minutia. If you've enjoyed the recent reading material flooding the bookstores since last May and you've paid close attention to the clues, a tenacious Indy Fan will make short work of this.
At the time, I felt that asking questions about things that are not actually in the movie was a bit... excessive, and I tried to answer it by reading all 110 rules and making a guess (which was wrong, BTW), but that was then; now I obsessively look forward to Pat's trivia, the tougher the better! :D

The BV-38 Flying Wing pinned Harrison to the ground after he slipped during the fight scene. A story goes as far as recalling how the crew had to push it off him and that the intense desert heat had softened the wheel enough that, despite Harrison's initial scream it didn't crush his knee and he was able to ice it and go on with the show.
Harrison Ford told Prevue Magazine: "All day long the technical crew was having trouble with the plane. It weighed a couple of tons, so they were powering it with low-gear, high-torque electric motors -- the kind that can push through a brick wall without slowing down. They had to stay out of camera range, at the end of a cable 50 yards away. We rehearsed the scene several times, then decided to shoot." "Everybody's ready and the take begins. I go down and start to roll away -- and my foot slips, right under the rolling plane's tire. Everybody was yelling, 'Stop! STOP!' while the tire crawled up my leg. Luckily the brakes worked -- inches before my knee was crushed -- but I was pinned to the sand," Ford said. "I'm not normally a worrier, I know they're not going to kill the main character in a twenty million dollar film," Ford continued. "I also know Indy wouldn't look good with a peg-leg. I was a lot more careful about stunt work after that!"
Despite his new found caution, Harrison's luck with planes would continue. In one of the final scenes filmed for Raiders, he was climbing into the Biplane when it crashed while filming takeoffs in Hawaii. Harrison says, "he was unable to use the rudder of the airplane to control direction and we took off, we crashed." Pictures of the plane partially submerged, on the side Harrison was climbing, can be seen in The Complete Making of Indiana Jones. According to Harrison,"[Spielberg] left after it crashed the first time."

After Indy and Marion arrived via parachute and entered "Club Disneyland", the duo fought thugs while the crowd was being entertained by music from Tony Bennet and Miami Sound Machine.

In pointing out plot holes and the necessity of suspending disbelief, Indy's ability to ride the German Sub is always the most mentioned observation. Marion out drinking a rather corpulent patron always struck me as an interesting super power, and inspired my own superhero who instead of fighting, drinks his villains into submission. Maybe Barry Nugent can help me bring him to life!
Nonetheless there are a couple of textual sources for the definitive answer, shy of trying to count the glasses on the table.
Hopefully the blu-ray release will make that task easier but in print the most notable is the January 1982 issue of Mad Magazine.
I can hear the collective groans of disappointed disbelievers, "is he serious?!?!?
Yet Dick DeBartolo and Frank Jacobs got it right. To ease your pain it's also on page 27 of the Raiders Illustrated Screenplay. The text reads in part; Marion Ravenwood,25 years old, beautiful, if a bit hard looking. At this moment, she can use any hardness in her as she picks up her fourteenth shot glass and tosses it back.

Yes, Indy tells his Barnett College students in The Last Crusade that 70% of all archeology is done in the library research, reading. Which leaves 30% to be divied up outside. However he also says to forget about lost cities and exotic travel, [you] don't follow maps to buried treasure and emphasises that X never ever marks the spot...competition must be fierce enough without educating potential Belloqs and Forrestals.

Pedro and I always find our way back to a single theme regarding the challenges posed by our weekly mysteries: knowing the answers and discovering answers. This week we take a different approach to the question. We’ll call it an open book question:
Santa has made it to your house and while coming down your chimney he’s lost the last name on his list to a sole burning ember in your fireplace. Santa has to break with tradition and drags you out of your bed to put you on the spot. He says because of the weather he can’t get signal on his iTouch and the magic list isn’t able to update the Naughty /Nice column! Because you fell asleep before clearing his path, his back up paper list is missing it’s final entry. He makes you a deal to keep you off the Naughty list this year and gives it to you telling you the last four names have something in common and you have to figure out the Fourth name and if they’re naughty or nice. Two things to consider, two names are actual people and two names are characters from your favorite film series. What is the final name and are they naughty or nice?
The first name is the former BBC Health Correspondent and now a Foreign Correspondent in South Africa.
The Second name was Kansas City’s pick in the 1st round of the 1981 NFL Draft.
The third name is the answer to 83 down on The New York Times Crossword Puzzle for Sunday Oct 25 2009
What to do? Character Name or Persons Name? Naughty or nice?
What is the fourth name and your fate for your Christmas Present and Christmas Future?
No pressure but on one side you have an eternity of Indiana Jones collectibles on the other a frothing rusty chain wielding Krampus is waiting to teach you the error of your ways and a bit of culture from a foreign land!
Which is it a White Christmas or a Red Behind? I’d wish you luck…

On-screen evidence in "Doom" (and other sources) clearly show that his index finger was severed. How it was cut off is the mystery...:confused: In the junior novelization, Indy broke Kao/Chen's hand by twisting his gun away.:rolleyes:

We all know Tom Selleck was counted out of Raiders because of contractual obligations. Funny thing, it turns out a writers strike that year would have allowed him to take the role.
This week’s question: Texas born Blazing Saddles alumni John Hillerman played Higgins: Major Domo of the Hawaiian estate "Robin's Nest" but who was the Raiders and Last Crusade Actor that Higgie Baby inherited his position from?
For those of you who might complain this is Magnum PI trivia, here’s the second half of this episodes question where Indy pays homage to Magnum PI, in a way…
A recurring character on the 8 season television program shares many similarities with a recent addition to the Indiana Jones cast and Indy’s past, not the least of which is his name! Killing off this character couldn’t keep him away. Who are you? Simply name the characters, the actors, and their shared character traits.

There have been many homages to Indiana Jones, but Magnum PI held out till their final season to send Thomas Sullivan Magnum on his very own Indiana Jones adventure an episode entitled "Legends of the Lost Art”. Ronald Lacey (Arnold Toht in "Raiders" and Heinrich Himmler in "The Last Crusade") played Lowell Xavier Jamison, Archer Hayes and even Picasso in the Magnum P.I. episode, "The Case of the Red Faced Thespian".
The entire episode takes place at "Robin's Nest", and tells some of the estates history, including Lowell Xavier Jamison being the previous majordomo of "Robin's Nest" before he was fired…
Jeff MacKay, who plays (Mac), Lieutenant McReynolds on "Magnum, P.I."- who is very similar to Crystal Skull's Ray Winstone character George Mac Hale.
Besides the name and nickname similarities, he is a Lieutenant, he's the friend of the main character, he's also a schemer and a con artist, they even look very similar including thick mustaches.
The " Crystal Skull" character connections are as follows: In 1993, John Hillerman (Higgins) appeared on the show "Berlin Break" for one season. He played the role of "Mac" Mackenzie, a former spy and the current proprietor of "Mac's", a bar in West Berlin considered neutral territory during the Cold War.
The show also featured Jeff MacKay as "Mitch", who also appeared on Magnum P.I. as the doughnut-munching Navy Intelligence lieutenant "Mac" MacReynolds, killed off in the series, and even brought back as a ghost for an episode.
These 2 actors also appeared together in the Indy inspired "Tales of the Gold Monkey", Hillerman playing "Fritz the Monocle" ...another possible connection to "Raiders" Ronald Lacey? Now the bigger trivia question: Was Higgins ACTUALLY Robin Masters?
MacKay ALSO played Jim Bonnick, a con man who looked suspiciously like MacReynolds...so, everyone called him "Mac".
Character similarities? Well, both actors are a bit rotund, so, I'm guessing Indy's Mac was also a fan of the doughnuts.
Jim Bonnick being the smooth con artist he was, was very similar to McHale in the fact that you never knew whose side each one was on. Plus, it seems that both characters were in debt up to their eyeballs to some unsavory characters...and so they were always playing some angle to walk away with the payola. While not a triple agent, Mac did assume at least three pseudonyms in the episode Mac’s Back

Starlog interviews Kasdan: "When that scene was written, Indy was digging on a totally separate site several sand dunes away from the Nazis. They were discovered much later only when the Nazis spotted the smoke rising from the Arab's torches. When Steven asked me about what I thought of the film after I saw it that was one of the few things that bothered me enough to mention it to him. Obviously, the logistics of their location dictated that shot set-up, but I told Steven that if he took out the daylight establishing shot showing how close the two groups are, the sequence wouldn't have been as bothersome. Then I asked Steven, 'Why are the Arabs singing?' That makes it even worse."

That's exactly where you can find it...
Found it!
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is as much a replica of, as it is a departure from, "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Musically, all of the familiar marches are back, tracing the heroics of ace archeologist Dr. Indiana Jones from the turbulent streets and dark alleys of 1935 Shanghai, to the sweltering jungles of uncharted India, at which point John Williams, the maestro of movie magic, and we the audience take an unexpected detour to the far side of fear and fantasy.
In this section of the adventure, all comforting themes vanish, and we become lost in the inner sanctums of The Temple of Doom with a secret voodoo cult thought extinct for one hundred years. This sinister setting offers John leagues of musical opportunity, and he makes a feast of it in one of his best film scores ever.
In attempting a "further adventure" neither John Williams, George Lucas nor I wanted to retrace our steps. This is a shiny new story with heroines, sidekicks and villains you've never before seen. And John Williams has composed new themes for each of them.
I am especially proud of John's "Short Round's Theme" and the nightmare choral chant in The Temple of Doom. These particular sections of the score could be the only music in the world effective enough to knock the hat off of Indiana Jones' head.

His first one is a Short Round reference though, from Clerks.

Hey Rocket, you're from Jersey right? You ever make a stop into Quick Stop?
Something smells like shoe polish!

Can you spit? This was a question asked of which cast member during auditions…and where does this character actually spit on film?
Hey Rocket, you're from Jersey right? You ever make a stop into Quick Stop?Something smells like shoe polish!HA!:up: (ah, Rosario Dawson! )
Yes I am, and yes I have. There's a small Cumberland Farms Store which is a dead ringer around the corner from Jay and Bob's in Red Bank.

Ireland April 1916, or Love’s Sweet Song as you’ll have it, is a struggle of identity, from its own title to Geography to Politics, Names, Class and the Arts. In this episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Indy makes his way through a pub brawl carrying a tray of porter not spilling a drop. Which film cut a similar scene where a patron manages the same feat?

The scene that sprang immediately to mind was the bar fight scene in the classic Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles".
Apparently, a joke that didn’t work, like 1941’s nunchuck coat hanger, was left on the cutting room floor. You can catch the Peter O’Toole impersonator wandering through the fight holding his glass, after the antidote is first kicked onto the dance floor as the occidental ape grabs Indy from Lao's table and immediately after Indy crushed the bottle over his head.

Former Ford employee,
Soap Opera actor.
Other roles include:
CIA Agent,
an Astronaut,
Nightclub Host
But most important role: lands Elle Macpherson for a girlfriend and they do what comes naturally, so to say
Oh, and a "character" in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge pays homage with it's name.

I didn't resize the picture - I can't even remember where I found it now. The picture address gives no clues as no part of it leads back to a workable page.

If you wanted to dress up as the Marshall College Mascot this Halloween, what exactly would that be?
...and though the motorcycle chase would have put our heroes in the middle of a football game, what is the only sport mentioned by name on campus?

The name Marshall College athletic teams compete under is shared by a current NFL team...
The name of the sport can be heard in Crystal Skull...
Team name: Marshall Ravens? (wild guess as per the NFL Baltimore Ravens)
Sport: Lacrosse ("You going to the lacrosse game this afternoon?")
