BIKE CHASE
- This scene is pretty good. Don't really have any problems with it. Anyone have any thoughts on the Marcus statue and head falling in the lap of the Russian? It doesn't seem particularly clever and just ends up being a pointless defacing of the statue to have the head fall off. I think we could cut it so that the car crashes into the statue and stops, but we don't see the head falling off. Mutt's resulting smile and Indy's not so happy expression still fit even without the head falling off the statue.
- After the bike crashes and slides under the table in the library we have another of those unrealistic pauses where Indy says, "If you want to be a good archaeologist ... ... ... you have to get out of the library." We should figure out a way to reduce the pause to no more than second and not make it seems like he's waiting for camera setups to give his lines.
As you might be able to tell, my tiredness is making me lazy in just pointing out a problem without coming up with an exact solution. Since I don't want to abandon the detail I was using in my ealier suggestions, I think I'll stop here for now and pick up next time with an exact solution for this problem before moving on.
Anyone have any comments on all the stuff I've posted tonight?
