Indiana Jones

Ok, ok, it's true - I love Indiana Jones - always have since I was a wee girl. The Matrix generation will probably not get it, but when Raiders of the Lost Ark first came out it was billed as "The Return of the Great Adventure". It wasn't like anything else - it was a classic adventure film, and it was amazing. There's nothing James Bondish or computer generated about it, and I'm happy to say there still isn't. I think No. 4 is great! Old school, very entertaining, Harrison Ford still does all the stunts himself, and he doesn't pretend to be younger than he is. Plus, Marian is back...

So, here are some of the better lines - but like all true action films, they sound better in the film...

Mutt Williams: You know, for an old man you ain't bad in a fight. What are you, like 80?

Agent Irina Spalko: Belief, Dr. Jones, is a gift you have yet to receive. My sympathies. Indiana Jones: Oh, I believe, sister. That's why I'm down here.

Agent Irina Spalko: No defiant last words, Dr. Jones? Indiana Jones: I like Ike.

[Indiana realizes he's in a nuclear testing site when sirens begin wailing] Indiana Jones: That can't be good. That can't be good at all.

Indiana Jones: Oh, Marion, you had to go and get yourself kidnapped. Marion Ravenwood: Not like you did any better. Indiana Jones: Same old, same old.

Indiana Jones: Marion, take the wheel! Mutt Williams: That's not fair, she drove the truck! Indiana Jones: Don't be a child. Find something to fight with!

Indiana Jones: Drop dead! [Dovchenko punches him in the face] Indiana Jones: I'm sorry; I meant, "Drop dead, *comrade*."

Marion Ravenwood: I'm sure I wasn't the only one to go on with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years. Indiana Jones: There were a few. But they all had the same problem. Marion Ravenwood: Yeah, what's that? Indiana Jones: They weren't you, honey.

Indiana Jones: You want to be a good archaeologist... [Mutt drives them out of the building on his motorcycle] Indiana Jones: ...you've got to get out of the library!

Indiana Jones: You're not from around here, are you? Agent Irina Spalko: And 'vere' do you think I am from? Indiana Jones: Well, judging by the way you're sinking your teeth into those 'wubble-yous', I'd say Eastern Ukraine.
