That's a pretty weak reason...
Have you ever been in a fist fight, not a girl fight, not a wrestling match...a FIST FIGHT?
If you want to be picky, Dovchenko is a fag, (no offence gay community)...because he doesn't finsh Indy off. Instead he lets Indy "call time out" while he crawls to his hat and he allows him to grab the tree branch.
I like that Indy uses it and really have no problem with the pacing that he does it because that's how it happens sometimes.
Just like like German Mechanic, you have to consider the EMOTIONS involved!
Put yourself in his shoes...you, and I mean YOU mr kotex, walk into the music room in your school and two kids little more then half your size are fighting and the one who just got knocked out is your little step brother.
Well now, you've just come from Gym class where the teacher just yelled at you to shake down the flying wing so there's no chance...I mean told you to run laps until you stopped tripping over your own feet, and that next time your clumsy toe dragging doesn't cost the school or your team the game.
Well, (not knowing you, but understanding human nature), you're going to take off your glasses, slowly and you're going to tell that kid to come over here tough guy! He's half your size and you're ready to rock.
Now re-read that and consider that this guy is a 250lb-ish walking muscle who is probably the Nazi boxing champ, cause (Pat Roach being a Professional Wrestler) THAT's WHAT HE LIKES TO DO!
It's FAR from boring...go pick some fights with some kids bigger then you and come back and tell us that knot in your stomach, the rush of emotion and adrenaline is BORING!
No offence!
