I have first-hand knowledge that this is definitely a coping mechanism, and arguably a survival tactic. Until this summer, of course, as I now consider that career over. I'll likely have to nix the borderline alcoholism in my next path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 So Sinister German Guy (whose real name is Toht) and Belloq are strolling along having had one of those nights where they were just unable to tear themselves away from the other. And just happen to see Indy has found the Ark. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Indy is surrounded and Marion is thrown into the pit. Well at least she got to keep the dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 The stereotypes are coming thick and fast (but still v. enjoyable). The Germans are single-mindedly devoted to pleasing the Furher. The Frenchman melts before beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is it weird that I'm wondering about the breeds of snakes used? I thought I spotted Indian cobras. They are supposedly asps but it looks like too many separate breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 A random shirtless German guy is offering to fight by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. Indy kicks him in the balls to no effect and then gets slapped around. Marion meanwhile decapitates the pilot with his own propellers which has to be one of the nastiest ways to die.

Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 So let me see if I'm getting this right. Indy is getting beaten up by random shirtless German guy after deciding to engage him in unarmed combat. Meanwhile Marion has taken control of the plane's guns and shoots the entire party of Nazis? Loving the subversive feminism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shirtless German guy is the Ned Stark of this story. He could have raised the alarm, found allies, or even tried to take control of the complicated tech around him. But no, come hail or shine he's gonna keep practising his boxing. It ends about as well for him as Headless Ned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposedly asps but it looks like too many separate breeds. Not a lot of asps became actors, so the casting director just took whichever snakes extras were available for the day of shooting.
