      In theory I'm pretty sure the knight Would periodically drink from the Grail to prevent death of old age. With that being said Henry Jones Sr would have to have drink from the grail periodically to keep on living but since he did not he died of old age (again in theory). And since the grail has healing abilities maybe those abilities stay with you for a time or until death of old age. And since he survived slamming into the ground (while in a lead lined refrigerator) which would kill any normal person from sheer force of the impact itself.

      Did you consider yourself wrong? I highly doubt it.
      Hopefully you took the more healthy approach, and said "eh, guess its just not for me".
      Thats objectivity vs subjectivity in practice.
      You seem to be confusing that with popular opinion. If that, and it being taught, is your only criteria. Then at one point in time the sun being carried across the sky by a dude in a chariot, the earth being flat, and slavery were all objectively correct.

It's not like Indy was walking with a cane and needing help, he was still just as good as he was. Tony's a nitpicker and it really shows. He also just sucks.

    Everyone always bitches about the refrigerator in the atomic blast scene, but I always thought of it as an homage to Back to the Future, which was produced by Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
    One of the early ideas for Back to the Future was that the time machine was a refrigerator and in order for Marty to get back to the future was to use an atomic explosion at a nuclear test site. When the nuking fridge occurred, that's what came to mind.
    Never seen anyone else bring this up in all the years since Crystal Skull has been out, so I don't know how true it could be, but that's how I saw it as. A bit of a tribute to Back to the Future.

    Very late, but yes you can be a triple agent. It's the term for a spy pretending to be a double agent for one side, who is actually acting as a double agent for the other side. If he was pretending to double cross Indy, in order to double cross the Russians from within, that would make him a triple agent.

    11:25 That's right - LOTS of hugely unlikely stuff happened in the earlier Indy films, but people pick on the fridge as if it crossed some kind of line. I just don't get it. I recall seeing ToD in the cinema as a kid (yes I am old!) and that moment where the mine-cart jumps the tracks and lands perfectly back on the rails again got an audience reaction I'll never forget...
    It was like a sort of "Yeah, right, as if...", almost scoffing at the preposterousness of it, followed by massive applause. That moment went into "absolutely would not happen" territory, and the audience knew it. There was this brief moment where the audience obviously chewed over whether some kind of line had been crossed, then decided no, fuck it, that was awesome.
    Even ignoring all the supernatural stuff, the Indy films happen in a Saturday-morning-matinee universe where a mine-cart can jump the rails and land perfectly back on a track, about a one-in-a-billion chance. The mine-cart doesn't cross the line but the fridge was going too far? Where's the logic to that? And where exactly is this damn line anyway? :)

      @@Hiraghm Why should it take itself seriously? As noted in The Big Bang Theory, Indiana Jones is completely irrelevant to the outcome of Raiders. The Nazis would have found the arc with or without him. And with or without him they would have taken it to that island and opened it. Arguably, the only thing he does in the entire film of any import is be there after it's opened to retrieve it. But, given the light show, it's entirely possible that somebody else would have seen it and retrieved it.
      At least in ToD Indy's presence actually led to the successful return of the stones.
