Indiana Jones Trilogy ショウ


Hell of a ショウ.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

focus

Indy's intense focus on the sandbag and the golden treasure, in the first scene.

correct

does Indy use the correct amount of sand? Er, no.

few

Just a few more grains of sand would have done it...

hinder

Bellock: "Once again Dr. Jones, we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."

refined

Despite being such a scoundrel, Bellock plays himself off as a refined French gentleman throughout the film.

prosperous

Indy isn't very prosperous in the first major scene. (the golden idol gets taken away)

marsh

Marsh makes me think of the tropical jungle in the beginning of the movie.

ford

Indy running/swimming across the ford to the airplane, native arrows whizzing around his head.

imperial edict

The nazis orders to recover the ark at all costs. "Hitler's been collecting religious artifacts, he's nuts on the subject"

badge

The scene where the government agents show up in the beginning - flash of their badges

patent

In the scene where the two federal agents display their ignorance on the bible, Indy in turn shows off his patent knowledge of biblical history. (patent in this kanji meaning easily recognizable; obvious)

wee hours

Indy arrives at his ex's hut in Nepal in the wee hours of the night.

extinguish

For what it's worth, Marion really should have kept a fire extinguisher in her bar/mountain hut/"sty" (as she calls it).

bake

Marion's cabin gets "baked" (burnt) to smouldering ashes.

wound

the coin wound embedded on the nazi's hand.

accompany

"I tell you what, until I get back my 5000 dollars, you're gonna get more than you bargained for. I'm your goddamn partner!!" - Marion

victory

Indiana in one of my favorite, all time scenes of victory: the black swordsman shows up in the street and waves his sword around - Indy just sighs and shoots him.

measuring box

Not a box, but a coin, with measurements inscribed on it. (it is for finding a certain box though)

well

The Well of Souls - a.k.a. snake pit with obvious glass divider.

laugh

The scene where Bellock and Marion are drinking, while she wears the white dress. They are laughing hysterically, but suddenly she pulls a knife and makes jokingly threatening face. They just keep laughing!

exhort

I exhorted Indy all throughout the famous helicopter fistfight scene!!

bed

A bed-ridden Indy, on the ship, with Marion nursing his wouds.

make a deal

Indy, holding a bazooka, threatening to blow up the arc.

shining

The ark shining.

illuminate

The ark illuminating.

detailed

The detailed last scene of the movie, with the Ark being put in a warehouse full of identical boxes.

Temple of Doom


symptoms

The first major scene of the movie. Symptoms of being slipped poison may include intense action scenes...

blue

The blue vial of antidote. Or the semi-attractive (but failure of an actress) who is the main heroine of the film's blue eyes.

little

Shortround.

appellation

Seriously. Indiana and short round. Nice appellation, guys.

elephant

Indy, riding an elephant out of the Indian village.

skirt

Who wears a skirt like that in India? Really?

extract

Indy finds an extract that tells of the 5 magic stones in sanskrit... brought to the village by a dying child.

voice

"The biggest problem with her is the noise" - says Indy of the annoying blonde. Her voice is pretty irritating.

sex

"I'm not that easy you primitive ape!"
"I'm not that easy either"
"Five minutes! You'll be back here in 5 minutes!"
"I'll be asleep in 5 minutes."

nitrate

The inners of the cave/volcano area.

chant

heart-taking-outing-scene.

char

Sacrifice charred in a volcano.

auspicious

All ancient religions have their strange, auspicious ceremonies. This one just happens to resemble the aztecs...

inter-

Indy and his shortround's interactions.

manipulate

In order to manipulate Indy, they feed him that evil blood drink. [image: him writhing around on the stone bed surrounded by candles]

cosmetics

How exactly does she manage to keep a fresh plate of make-up on throughout the entire film? (Or the laughable makeup of the cult priests)

collide

The mining cart almost colliding with the wall, as Indy stops it with his shoes.

rise up

Indy can rise up from the bottom of the cut wooden bridge. (the whole final action scene)

above

See above.

The Last Crusade


evidence

The tablet is seen as evidence that the holy grail really exists!

reparation

reparations for finding a 500 year old gold cross? Dinner and champagne. (also a general theme: he is always making mention of his payment for getting artifacts to the museum)

seduce

Dr. Snyder. Oh yea

beckon

See above

bell

Dr. Snyder, looks a southern-bell for a woman with a thick German accent

pure

The pure beauty of an afternoon lunch in Venice, ruined by Dr. Jones and Dr. Snyder crawling up out of the sewer. (outside of the library/church. Everyone in the scene is weairng pure white colors)

acquiesce

Indy acquiesces the nazis by handing over the book in exchange for Dr. Snyder's life! BIG MISTAKE!

resemblance

Is there any resemblance between Indy and his father? Really?

leader

Indy and his father are constantly bickering over who is the leader!

sparkle

The real holy grail is not one of the many sparkling cups in the last scene.

General Indy


attire

There are so many scenes to choose from. Any time Indy dons his hat, jacket, whip, any of his classic attire.

life

Indy risking his life again and again throughout each film.

star

He's the star. He has the luck of the stars to not be dead 100 times over already.

prize

He's always going after some sort of prize.

esteem

You can't help but hold Indy in high esteem; He's a believable yet noble hero, with somewhat flexible morals. (shooting nazis is 100% ok?)

surname

His surname is just fine. Really, there's nothing wrong with Jones. It's the Indiana part that is just plain weird.

politics

Nazis.

reef

Surfs up Indy! I imagine him holding a surfboard. Surely I won't forget.

introduce

(don't need a story - 紹介する)

pine tree

I imagine Indy and his dad, gathered around a pine tree for Xmas
