Mutt was cutting across the jungle, the trucks were on a path going away from his path, then acute turn towards their juncture, so i didn't see that as bieng as bad.
The nuke detonation, fridge flying (the only fridge to survive????) was ridiculous. he should have been stuck inside and suffocated.

was it just me, or did anyone else think that crystal skull looked poor? it looked like some art deco crap people without a sense of tast put on their coffee tables.
i think it would have been better to have some other mystery and not the crystal skulls as the theme of the fourth indiana jones instalment. both the grail and the ark are deeply rooted in mythology and though i don't claim them to have ever existed, they appear more real than the whole crystal skull idea. the mitchell-hedges skull that is referenced in the film has been proved to originate from the 19th century not pre-Colombian america, for example. so not only is myth surrounding crystal skulls very young, it is also very weak.
well, aliens is an altogether different matter, but i think many more believe in UFOs and aliens than in crystal skulls.
honestly, george and steve, if you were so eager about making a fourth film, was this the best you could come up with?

I agree. You summed it up lwaves in a nutshell. All here have good points. Fearlessvenom right on the mistakes. Now this should have been made ten years ago. This is a good movie better than the second Indy. I did not like Mac in it. Its not chemistry they are old. Their energy level is gone. Indy seemed winded just talking. Now you know why old people drive so slow. I felt this movie had a disney feel to it. Maybe because Lucas is of the boomer gen that he gave it that Americana fifties family feel. Blue hairs luved it. With El Dorado already in National Treasure it seemed similar story line. Now should we end the series or go like the Bond films replacing the lead every so often.

Skulls did look cheezy. The ufo tie in is with the skulls and ancient astronaut theory. Hey but how about the star wars nod with the trucks side by side sword fighting like in Return of the Jedi.

I liked the nods to 1941 and American Grafitti.

Flash forward to 1977, at a top secret installation near Devil's Tower, Wyoming...
The huge alien mothership has just touched down. Its enormous hatch opens, and a dazzling light issues forth. Hundreds of human figures wander out to meet the awaiting reception. They are returning abductees.
Amongst them, a woman with dark bobbed hair. She is attractive in a severe sort of way.
One of the clipboard-wielding members of the team nervously approaches her.
She gives her name.
"Dr Irina Spalko, KGB."
I AM THE KING OF RETCON!
