this is good
screw the haters
shareContains what is possibly the best exchange in the whole series:
Willie: Indy, now let's get out of here.
Indy: Right. All of us.

Top movie
Top!
They had a high flying adventure film with 'Ark' and went very heavy on the horror for part 2
I knew a kid who puked during the 'heart removal' scene in the theater (to be fair that was very nasty)
I always respected the risk they took with this script..really paid off i say
A personal favorite
Indy also has -- if you will -- an arc in this. He goes from being obsessed with "fortune and glory" to a selfless liberator of enslaved children. His above exchange with Willie completes his arc and leads into an even greater series' highlight: a kid, on the cusp of being beaten, looks up to see a silhouetted figure standing in front of him. As a mining car approaches the figure its light reveals his identity: Indy (his look of self-righteous fury utterly bad ass, and, of this writing, unequalled). Off-screen, we hear Indy subject the kid's tormentor to a merciless beatdown, and then see the now unconscious guard slide across the floor of the mine. The kid looks at the guard, then at Indy ... and smiles. Awesome.
