    Indiana Jones is the best!!! I watched Crystal Skull again last night, and people who have a problem with it don't even understand the spirit of the first ones. It's not REAL LIFE people. It's a fun, imaginative adventure. If i wanted to see real life, I'd watch the news. Dead On James!!

    I would never have guesst that Indiana was a ripp-of!?
    Still I love these movies, sometimes I accept "dumb moments" as long as I am entertaint. I also think this top 10 shows that the old movies had dumb moments to, every time time something stupid happens in Crystal Skull, people critised it and seems to think that the old ones was much more serious, but no, the dumb moments was (usually) just funnier and not stupid for the sake of stupid. :) (I look at you Tarzan scene)

    How can you put a list together like this and leave out stuff like drinking with crime lords who have already tried to cheat and kill you, or handing your gun over to a nightclub singer in a shootout instead of putting it on the seat.



    Marion smashing a guy with a pan wasn't dumb...shooting the driver of the truck your girl is captive in is!



    Nice try.



    Whatever...

    I disagree with everything but the Crystal Skull moments. As silly as the moments may have been in the original trilogy, they still worked. Crystal Skull was awful though.

    In the cliff scene, there's a little dot flying off the tank. that's indy. He manages to grab onto a ledge and save himself. Watch the scene a few times. if you look closley you can see it.

    It seems like there's a lot of James Bond connections in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, first we have Indy's father played by Sean Connery who was course the original James Bond, In the Bond movie "A View to a Kill" we have Alison Doody as bond girl Jenny Flex, Alison Doody also of course plays the role of Dr. Elsa Schnieder in Last Crusde, Next we have Julilan Glover playing the main villain in "For Your eyes Only" who of course played Water Donavan the main villain in Last Crusade. Finally in The Living Daylights we have John Rhys Davis as General Pushkin who played Indy's friend Sallah in both Last Crusade and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    Nobody does it better than Indiana Jones. Sure he rips off a lot but that's part of the nostalgic value that's there even though the movies aren't that old. No one can match his style!

    I watched all the Indiana Jones films and I must say the original trilogy has made me a fan, but after watching Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I have grown to hate it and THAT is the Dumbest Indiana Jones moment EVER! There is never a smart moment in that ENTIRE FILM!

    Lol when i watch movies with other people and they say "That could NEVER happen in real life!" I just say "Who cares?!" If its a great movie the laws of science shouldn't be a factor. No one said anything in The Dark Knight with all those "can't happen in real life" moments with the joker.

    Great review James! I honestly don't see the problem everybody has with Crystal Skull. I mean its not the best Indiana Jones movie but it's not bad and its surely not any more far fetched than the others. Your closing statement really said it all, and its true. A prime example of this is my father, he hardly ever goes to the movies but he always loves watching older movies. When Crystal Skull came out he didn't have time to see it but when it came out on DVD he watched it 6 nights in a row! He loved it and even said it was better than Temple of Doom. I grew up watching Indiana Jones with my dad and so its really something that brings us close together, we even have a marathon ever new years eve till midnight. (we always close with the final shot of Indy and his father riding off into the sunset at the end of Last Crusade)

    10. The part where indy's father shoots out the back of the airplane and says sorry son they got us (last crusade)

    9 Indy going through the catacombs with a torch that is dropping flames into the oil but it doesnt ignite until the protectors of the grail light a match, then it ignites (last crusade)

    8. Surviving the drop from a plane in the inflatable raft(temple of doom)

    7. Mutt Jones acting like tarzan (crystal skull)

    6. Marion Driving off the cliff hoping she will land on something(crystal skull)

    5. Indy believing mac all those times (crystal skull)

    4 The drag race between the kids and the trucks in the beginning of the movie (crystal skull)

    3. The part where the c.i.a accuse indy of being a communist (crystal skull)

    2. when indy is sinking and mutt throws him a snake/ indy telling professor oxley to find help when they are surrounded by the soviets (crystal skull)

    I disagree completely. The first three films mixed up the dumb moments in a way that you didnt care if they were stupid because they worked great with the other moments of the movie , and it all glued well together in the end for a satisfying and fun adventure (that was the secret for the indiana jones films). On the fourth film what we see is the complete opposite. There are so many dumb and stupid moments one after the other that makes it impossible not to be annoyed, distracted and/or offended by it.

    I totally agree with you on the ending commen James, too many people (and I've noticed alot on here in the comments) are too focused on wanting things to be realistic. I mean come on! People argue about there being aliens in it and yet they bypass the fact all the other three films are even more extrodinary to believe. They're willing to accept Indiana Jones finding the lost arc of the covinant and nazi's melting from it, That horrible woman in the Temple of Doom, A man who can remove hearts with his bare hands, leaving the victim alive for sacrifice in a pit of lava that somehow doesn't melt the metal cage that dips the person in, A Knight who had been drinking the grail so that he could meet one who was brave enough to recieve it and the wrong choice ends up killing someone and yet people argue just because of aliens in a new film?



    I blame this hatred on the fashion we have with movies these days. So many sequals suck compared to the origonal that it seems we all just simply want to turn off our interest in a sequal to ANYTHING in the movie industry. I am easy to please for watching films and enjoying them for what they are, movies, an escape from reality just like any book, music video or even video game. I will admit there are a few films that do get under my skin, so to speak, but they're not going to ruin my life or chances of seeing a good film after all.

    Sweet vid. I myself love movies where there's no explanation for how things could work like they do in the movies. But my friend, that's another story. A couple of nights ago we were watching Godzilla vs. Destroyah and he just kept whining how they couldn't have made freeze rays or how is it possible for Godzilla to shoot beams from it's mouth.

    I just wanted to enjoy the friggin' movie, sheesh.

    They proved on the TV show Mythbusters that you COULD use a raft falling from a plane and survive a fall like that... The fall looked almost exactly how it did in the movie. Now that was from the plane to the ground, but the second cliff is a bit more of a stretch.

    The dumbest Indiana Jones Moments all time in crystal skull is that Nazca lines (Perú - Ica) appear in Cusco!, this is like Statue of Liberty was in California!, peruvian culture institute said that peruvian people shouldn't view that movie.

    Definitely crystal skull is the worst movie ever, they shouldn't made it.

    Yes, I'm peruvian.

    Yeah, I don't agree with this list...nuking the fridge still takes the cake as having the most dumbest moments in an Indy movie...as for the number 1 choice, I never though much about it, the female lead is notorious for almost ruining the film but she didn't....Indy 4 on the other hand had balls to the wall dumbass moments and is the worse Lucas sequel made in my book...=/

    For me the dumbest moment of all the movies is in "Temple of Doom" after Indiana Jones and his friends are on a plane, when the plane is out of gas they jump off the plane and still it blows up when it crashes agains the mountain :P

    Nice overview and comparisons to movies by which Indiana Jones franchise was inspired.
    I think the dumbest moment of all those four movies is Shia jumping from liana to liana.
    Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a lot more unrealistic/dumb scenes but still I like it little bit more than Temple Of Doom which seems kinda slow in its middle part to me.
    But anyway, those four flicks will remain as one of the best adventure movies of all times.

    The first moment that came to my mind wasn't in the top 10.



    In Last Crusade when Indy and his dad escape that castle and go outside, they see a bunch of boats. They send one off with nobody in it in an attempt to fool the nazis while they go hide in a box. The plan is working and the nazis begin to pile in a boat to go chasing after the empty boat, when all of a sudden Indy bursts out of his hiding place for no reason and starts a chase scene. So dumb.

    And absolutely agree with your number one; Kate Capshaw's character in Temple was a screeching harpy from hell. God, how I wished Indy had let them kill her.

    Your one with the birds and the plane shows that you don't realize that birds are what brought down that bug commercial plane on the Hudson a while back. Hated the Crystal Skull though. There are three fictional men who are on my top list of never being fathers. 1) James Bond, 2) The Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood) and 3) Indiana Jones. Plus the kid just annoys me so much that I want to punch him repeatedly in the face. At least the first three movies were fun.

    You know? Replace the words "SILLY" with "FUN" "and DUMB" with "COOL" and you got yourself a deal on a great review mister. As it stands now, i can only agree with the Indy series beeing a fun tribute to the old days. And that part about there being someone out there...Well thats me! The whiners and Trekkies are ruining fun movies. I saw Crystal Skull in the theater with my whole family of 5 people and we all had a good time. Except my 62 year old dad. He had a GREAT time and he loved the ending. Skull wasn't the best Indy to me, thats Crusade. Because of Connery. Im not a hater. Im just that guy you mentioned in the end. I really like your stuff otherwise. Especially the avgn bit.

    I never liked how in all of these action movies the good guys are supposed to be womanizers and every woman instantly falls at their feet or needs their help for this or that. In the universe of an action film women have to fall into a set stereotype...almost all of them being incredibly annoying.

    I didn't go to see the newest film but that CGI looks awful. The older films look much better.

    On a side note, this reminds me of how in Star Wars it seems that the only (token) woman in the known universe is Leia. No wonder Luke had incestuous thoughts.

    You forgot the scene in Raiders when, in Nepal, Marion takes 30 plus shots and beats the other guy, but in the next scene she's completely fine. No slurred words, nothing. It's unrealistic and pretty dumb. It really annoyed me how she can outdrink a man into a choma and then have a frakin' fight scene right after. It makes no sense.
