Saw another promotional photos today. Two of them featured that female agent, I.Spalko. I'm not the kind of guy who counts how many shots Indy fired from his 6-shot revolver (and other usual nitpicking), yet I simply have problem with swallowing the amount of improbabilty in this upcoming movie.
She's dressed in some kind of a uniform (let's not get into details if it's done properly or not - it has Soviet star on the belt buckle, so it's at least supposed to resemble uniform, right?). I thought she will appear like that in S.America, commanding the detachment of troops. Yet I see her in that super secret US Army base, the one with that mysterious warehouse. Well, she's only missing big letters "hello, I'm a Soviet spy folks!" on her back! And she's marching straight into secret warehouse, hidden in the middle of the nowhere and guarded by US troops.
Right...
And another shot: she threatens to kill poor Indy by putting some blade to his throat. Oh gee, what an intriguing action shot! But what is that weapon? A rapier? A some sort of straight sabre (e.g. like in US Navy) ? She marched into US base, in 1957, with a 2-foot long sabre? "Oh, I beg your pardon, I'm just a Soviet sporstwoman-fencer and I got lost here"
WTF?
Who gets paid for such scripts? >:(
