When you think about it, when you fall or get hurt...you usually don't feel the pain and soreness from that fall until days later. So, when we leave Indy walking away with Marion in D.C., kissing Willie, riding off into the sunset with the Three Stooges or walking to the 'Just Married' sedan, we never really see the condition he is in after the adventure!
So, after all that he's been through in each film, what adventure left Indiana the most unpleasant and sore/bruised?
My vote;
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Chased by boulder, almost fell into bottomless pit, chased for awhile by natives, jumped out of a temple and rolled down a small hill, shot in the arm, wound beaten, dragged on a rugged road, beaten up by an oversized muscle man, rode a statue into a wall, lifted the Ark cover (major muscle strain), had the runs from the Tunisian food, hit with a mirror, fell off a plane and thrown out of a truck. That has got to be some serious hurtin' later.
Runner up...
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Shoved in a trunk with a smelly double agent, thrown onto pavement, fell into and broke truck cab, tackled and fell through glass dome onto steel platform, beaten by Dovchenko whilst being hoisted by the neck, transported via rocket to Doomtown where he was blown sky high in a fridge, then falls/slides across library floor, falls down stairs at the cemetary, jumps cars during the jungle chase, beaten up by Dovchenko again, falls down 3 waterfalls and to top it off, he has to run down a pyramid. For a 58 year old, he's going to be one sore mutha after that adventure.
What do you guys think?!
