Sounds like a suitable challenge for a superstutious young buck...probably whacked out on some psychotropic compound from licking a frog or eating a shroom.DoomsdayFAN said:Really? I don't understand how that would work. Getting to the idol wasn't that difficult, as long as you stayed out of the light, made the jump across the pit, and didn't trigger the poison darts.
If you want some conjecture, the test was to simply recover the idol. Consider it the final test a boy would have to pass before he officially joined a hunting party. It may be it proved he was carefull, cautious and observant...just to stand before the idol. Then no matter what he might do, once he took the idol the last test was escaping, (his last job would probably putting much of it back together).DoomsdayFAN said:It was the getting out that was the problem (if you triggered the trap). So I'm not sure I understand what purpose this place served to those people. Were they supposed to just go in and look at the idol and then come back out?
They got it up there in the first place...with enough tribesmen that would be another bonding experience not unlike the Amish community raising a barn together.DoomsdayFAN said:What if a Chachapoyan boy triggered the rolling ball? Did the tribesmen just push it back up the ramp and tell the child he failed? I thought the ball permanently sealed the entranced once released?
The action wasn't quite as raw or well planned as it was in Raiders. Too much humor and self reverence. Sallah ushering Brody into the back of a Nazi truck just made ZERO sense.AndyLGR said:I always thought that LC has a lot of action whilst also maintaining a solid underbelly of the relationship between Indy and his father. I have never sat and timed the scenes and compared them all though.
Everyone likes the "wall to wall action" response as some fall back position, but Temple does suffer from the lulls. When there is action, no matter how cool the rope bridge is/was/could have been, that mine cart jump takes some of the life out of it.AndyLGR said:Darth you mentioned earlier about TOD having wall to wall action, for me that film suffers from a huge lull from the moment they land in India to when they eventually find the hidden tunnels in the palace.
