I think it was the other way around, that it was shot as May West and ADRed as Mickey Mouse. You can hear the tonal qualities of the line change as the ADR comes in, and they conveniently cut to an over-the-shoulder shot that masks the bad lip synch. If it was a change late in post-production, it would make sense that an earlier mix is what was provided to the folks who made the album. (There are similar anomalies in the Story Of Star Wars album.)

That makes sense - maybe 'Mae West" didn't play well in test screenings.

Professor Henry Jones: Got lost in his own museum, eh?
Indiana Jones: Uh-huh.

People are complaining about the violence in the Temple of Doom? What are you a bunch of elderly librarians? lol

Temple of Doom and Gremlins are why the PG-13 rating was invented.

I've always liked Temple of Doom. Over the years my opinion of Doom has gone up, while Last Crusade starts to drop. Still love the trials in Crusade though.

Cracks me up that in Canada, Raiders gets a "14" video rating (what many of the U.S.A.'s "R"s get over there) while Temple of Doom gets a "PG" video rating.

Maybe they're offended that Belloq is a Frenchman...or that Belloq loses to an American (cue riots in Vancouver).

Sheesh. I said that several pages back. No one listens to me!! :p

Wow, all four Indiana Jones movies played today back to back in HD on TV. They look FANTASTIC! If this is a sneak preview of the blurays, then WOW....it's gonna look SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Techincally, Belloq lost to God...or more specifically, His wrath.

Who wound up with the Ark? Who had better information and knew better than to look at it when it was opened?

Victor = one Indiana Jones...at least, before the Feds stepped in.

Yeah I've been watching Crystal Skull and I know people hate it but it's not nearly as bad as the prequels. I guess I'm in the minority in that I had no problem with the monkeys or the fridge. The spacemen was my only real problem but that's because I'm not a fan of alien movies, really.

well even 'Raiders' was originally rated R for Belloqu's exploding head - it was only after the effects crew added the smoke thus obscuring the offending gore that the MPAA relented and gave the film it's PG rating - a still of the unfogged head splat can be actually found in 'The Complete Making of Indiana Jones' book

You said Belloq "lost to an American", that's just not the case. Just sayin'.
If anything Belloq had succumbed to hubris(which pretty much involves God) so I'll stand next to my statement.

I thought the fourth Indie film was a hoot. Very enjoyable up until the ending and that whole spaceship/alien thing. Then it took a turn towards stupidville.

Belloq always has to steal what Indy earns, because Indy knows more than Belloq. Indy knows something Beloq doesn't - not to look into the Ark of the Covenant. For some damn reason I will never understand, the sequence where Indy is told by the "Old Man" who decodes the Headpiece is cut - and eliminates the dialog where Indy is told not to look into the Ark.

Belloq is once again missing key information Indy knows -- and he explodes because of it. The film is about Nazis and Belloq trying to take the Ark for their own purposes, while Indy is trying to obtain it and take it to the U.S.

Indy knows not to look into the Ark, Indy survives, Indy took the Ark to the U.S. - Belloq was obliterated and his body parts were sucked into the stratosphere along with all the other Nazis. Indy and Marion were meanwhile freed from their bonds, left with the prize, and their awe.

Indiana Jones won. Belloq lost. Indiana Jones took the Ark, went home, got drunk and got laid. Belloq was roasted into tiny particles that were blasted into the sky and then distributed across the atmosphere. His particulate remains drifted down onto the sea, were they further decomposed, and were absorbed by various sea urchins. Meanwhile, more substantial, less-incinerated pieces of his flesh were snatched from the air as they fell back to earth by seagulls, who promptly farted those pieces out onto passing German cargo ships and Hitler's Sailing Pleasure Barge.

And man, you don't even want to know what happened to Mola Ram.

So looking forward to the trilogy coming out.

:whip:

You don't need to recap the entire ending of the movie, as I know how it goes. You can talk/type until you're blu in the face(as you just did), but Belloq did not lose to Indy. Again Belloq could've had Indy killed at any time, but he suffered from hubris. He thought he could "talk to God", and wanted to prove this to Indy...therefore leading to his own demise....AT THE HANDS OF GOD.
At best you could say Indy won by default...but your original statement saying "Belloq lost to Indy" is totally wrong. And I think you know it, as you were trying to get a hockey potshot in. It's okay, we all fail sometimes.

We're still talking about this? :p
