So i take it you don't like Kasden's serious take on the story crafted from old hollywood films like Casablanca?

To me Raiders is the Best of all four.  I cannot even watch doom any more it is so awful and the same with many parts of crusade.

They made Marcus into a retard in last crusade and sallah into a racist charicature.

Plus there are cringeworthy moments like indy putting a rock into one of the side cannons on the tank and it blows up in the gunners face like this was like Looney tunes and not supposed to be in real life though actually fiction.

Then you have both shortround and willy in temple of doom almost a equally annoying as jar jar binks.  If not for the mine car chase that was in the original raiders script and the shanghai scene at the beginning the film is worthless.  Then you have the raft falling out of the plane as their parachute.  Then in Indy and the crystal numbskull you have him riding through the air for three miles in a lead lined fridge.  And somehow the russians also magically outrun the blast.

I am also sure the Hindus in India appreciated the evil hindus in temple of doom, as much as indy killing the arab swordmen angers people in the middle east especially Muslims.  Can't do these type of things in a politically correct world.  I'm surprised lucas and spielberg had the stones to make the russians the bad guys.

After Spielberg made the guns into walky talkies in E.T. and Lucas had greedo shoot first.

You could if Lucky in theory survive a freefall from a plane as people have before though its like a one in a millionth chance of survival and a 99.99% surety of death.  But surviving a H bomb falling near you in a refridegerater never believeable in a million years.
