Exactly!James said:Marion does get to be a little more proactive in KOTCS, especially compared to ROTLA, where she just kept getting captured (even by an airplane!).
She not only sets the adventure in motion, but later gets a chance to save Indy with a reckless plan of her own. And ultimately, she also helps him to regain the life he had lost in the beginning of the film.
I'm not sure where folks are getting this idea that she does is stand around and smile during this movie?
I suppose people were hoping for punches and boozing - which is what Darabont offered in droves.
