I did not know where to post it: http://mysterymanonfilm.blogspot.com/2009/03/raiders-story-conference.html

The 1978 RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK Story Conference Transcript, with Lucas and Steven, avalaible on pdf format.

 

"GL:

The trouble with cliffhangers is, you get somebody into something, you sort have to get them out in a PLAUSIBLE way. A BELIEVABLE way, anyway. . That's another important concept of the movie -- that it be totaly believable."

 

Amazing reading, where GL looks like the serious guy and Steven like the one who want to make it funny.

Except there is nothing Plausible or Believable even in the Indy world to explain hiding in a fridge to survive a Nuclear explosion.  Or swinging with monkeys that attack Russians, jeeps falling down three waterfalls in a row. etc.

Where was this George Lucas from the transcripts, maybe it  is like invasion of the body snatchers,lol. Or he was replaced with a clone somewhere between 1983 and 1993.
