The opening sequence of Raiders has blowgun dart cascading over Indiana as he runs for the floatplane.
How many other adventure movies portray blowguns, atlatl's and such as professional hazards to archaeologists?
Pilot said:One movie that comes to mind is "Green Hell." It starred Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as an explorer leading a team of archeologists, etc. into the Amazon basin near Tabatinga to look for Inca gold. They came under fire by Indians armed with bows and blowguns with poisoned darts.

Pleb? As in plebian?
"Tarzan and the Slave Girl" (1950) has a lenghty sequence where a group travels through the jungle & across a ravine on fallen tree. The men are repeatedly attacked by natives with blow-guns. (One guy is dressed like Indy minus the leather jacket.) Worth watching for this part alone!Broomhandle Davis said:How many other adventure movies portray blowguns, atlatl's and such as professional hazards to archaeologists?
