Indiana Jones... [SPOILER]

[The Plague]

In the last crusade they found the holy grail indy drank from it in the cave with arthur or whoever he was and got everlasting life his dad did not get everlasting life because he drank it outside of the cave thats why indy survived the atomic blast

 

[hannahbb21]

Yeah, but they took the cup over the seal which they were told not to do. Thus the immortality was lost, hence why Indy's dad has

Spoiler

died

. The lead in the fridge saved him

OMG!! that's one spolier I hadn't heard.

But there were about 20 huge blasts in the film, and he died in 8 of them...

Spoiler

he said, trying to throw them off the scent

The reason he didn't die in the blast is that he was in a lead lined fridge - and in a world where Indy can survive falling out of a plane in because he's in a rubber dingy, it's all the explanation needed. Otherwise post #2 cleans up the crackpot theory.At least he only blew something from pretty near the start of the film.

i don't quite grasp this thread...
the first post said that it was the last crusade
meaning it has nothing to do with the new one, crystal skull.
so i guess there's no spoiler if u really are an Indy fan.

but about

Spoiler

the lead fridge

it's a crystal skull scene right??! so we kinda mix it up a bit.

 

[Mahir S]

no he is referring to the last crusade but the spolier happens in lost kingdom

Edit: No need to say this now.

It matters not, anyway. Those lovely admins have edited the thread title.

And so... onto the topic.

Don't be daft. It's nothing to do with the grail (which stopped working if you left the temple). It's just the usual IJ logic that means you can survive jumping from a plane in a rubber dingy, and survive falling off a cliff on a tank by hanging onto a vine, when you patently didn't actually do that in reality. It is B-movie logic, and a lead-lined fridge is quite enough.

But! any schoolboy knows that lead will melt at a very low temperature and an atom bomb has the heat of the sun

Last Crusade was quite clear in stating that immortaility would be lost after crossing the seal. But of the three nights who protected the grail, two left (therefore crossing the seal) and still lived for a couple of hundred years. Not immortal, but they managed to more than double their average expected lifetime.
