1/6 KOTCS Indiana Jones--PREORDER NOW ON PAGE ONE!!

[Odowankenobi]

Well, the price for the exclusive is more palatable than the first announced one, but I'm still going with the regular. I still feel the fridge is overpriced even at that price. That's as much as a whole other figure. It's a funny accessory, but simply not enough to drop the money on. Not to mention I'm getting starved for space, and wouldn't know what to do with it.

 

[GuruAskew]

I went in for the exclusive preorder - loved that scene in KOTOCS.

I did too. The incredibly-improbable escape is one of the fundamental elements of the pulp-adventure genre and as ridiculous as the refrigerator-escape was it was totally appropriate.

The expectations people had for this movie were absolutely baffling. Can you imagine what these movies would be like if they were actually realistic? Actually, I can, and the word is "boring".

 

[klocket]

85 bucks for a fridge!...wow...

M.

could i believe he survived in the fridge, yes...but not when it flies a couple miles high in the air...

Yeah, but I'm sure there are cases of people having their hearts ripped out who remain alive.

 

[thenammagazine]

I think it was seeing the fridge go through all that damage first. Had it just been implied, it would've gone over better.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Oh no, not another plausability of the fridge discussion!

 

[Shai]

If I was into that line, the fridge would be a must-buy for me..What a cool accessory..Sideshow really raising the bar in originality here in the EX. department..Think about all the cool pics and display people will make with it.

 

[dwing]

I placed an oreder for both. Not sure what I'll do in the end. The fridge has grown on me.

 

[GuruAskew]

Yeah, but I'm sure there are cases of people having their hearts ripped out who remain alive.

or the rubber-raft-as-parachute thing. I challenge the Nuke-the-Fridge'ers to put that one to the test.

I'm not saying the fridge thing was realistic or believable, I'm just saying that there are a lot of unrealistic and unbelievable things in this genre and all the previous entries to this specific series.

So yeah, I ordered the fridge.

1. Mythbusters already proved that you can survive falling from a plane in a rubber raft.

2. It's black magic. I can buy into a lot of superstitious hocus-pocus. What I don't buy is that a man can survive a nuclear blast in a refrigerator and propelled several miles away from ground zero and roll out unscathed let alone be exposed to atomic fallout.

Indiana Jones did because he was Indiana Jones

um, no:

It is possible to jump from a disabled airplane and use an inflatable life raft to safely return to earth (as in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)

busted

Any attempt to use the raft failed due to the instability of the raft in freefall. It was possible to rig the raft as a parachute and land with minimal injuries, but this would not be possible to perform while jumping from a disabled aircraft.

It is possible to jump from a disabled airplane and use an inflatable escape slide to safely return to earth.

busted

While it was shown that the slide could safely land Buster with no injuries, he had to be strapped in and there is no possible way to perform this from a disabled aircraft.

Keep trying.

Indiana Jones did because he was Indiana Jones

This is actually the best possible justification/"excuse" for the fridge scene. Nothing else needs to be said.

A God's direct intervention murdered the Nazis beacuse they opened the ark when they were not worthy.

Kali Ma allows Mola Ram strength to rip the heart out as a sacrifice to Kali.

The grail, a god like item, allows the grail knight and Henry to live/survive the gunshot.

The fridge didn't belong to Jesus, Indy didn't say a Hail Mary, he just hopped in and survived a man made atomic blast.

Its a simple case of not getting carried away.

One waterfall would have been ok, 3 is insane. One monkey swing ok, keep going back, gay. One Prairie Dog, sort of humorous, the prairie dogs again and again and they have personality = gimmicy and stupid, Mutt taking one shot to the nuts while straddling the car, funny, again and again, wtf?

The mine cart in Temple of Doom makes one little jump, not 10 in a row, and a barrelroll in mid air before hitting the tracks again.

Thats the differance, that Lucas and Speilberg, with CGI at their Disposal, cannot and do not show restraint.

You and me both brother and since I am definitely in the Indy line the fridge is mine. Price is steep but eh should be pretty kick ass.

Indy survived that because he possesses two things you have no concept of... testicles.

 

[jedibear]

back on track folks....

BWhaha owned.

It is a movie, get over it people. Indiana Jones isn't supposed to be taken all too seriously.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Is he angry 'cause he's old? I don't like the expression. Maybe it's the paint?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Man, I hope the production pants look that good.
