(first!)
But hey, it’s the movies!
*gives you cookie for being first*
*it’s a nucular cookie-according to Harrison ford, who does not know the differance between ‘nuclear’ and ‘nucular’*
he doesnt? wow. how george bush of him
Thank you sooo much for actually adding a comment instead of just “first!”
Wait what?
It’s from his latest movie. Indiana Jones pretty much escapes a nuclear explosion by hiding in a fridge and magically survives just fine.
Hey, the fridge was made of lead. plus, you know, it’s a movie. As in: not real and meant to be silly and funny.
So he also survived lead poisoning!
since he didn’t ingest any lead (ie. eating the fridge) he wouldn’t be poisoned
seeing as how the extreme temperatures of an atomic bomb, however, he would most likely be sealed in a superheated grave filled with boiling lead and deadly gases
Lovely.
LOL! As soon as I read the comment you replied to, I thought the same exact thing!!! And that was before I read your post! LOL
But how far away do you have to be from the detonation to survive? I don’t remembering them specifying WHERE it was in the test site…
twas’ a blast test, they dropped a bomb just outside the heat wave safe zone, to test the blast power.
But then he found out it wasn’t “happy town” it was “everyone’s gonna die in two seconds town”
Quick! get inside the freedom fridge!
Or simply killed by the fall, fercryinoutloud.
And it was clearly epic!
Please tell me that SOMEONE else has noticed that when being interviewed about his purposes for being in the blast zone, right after he escapes the fridge, he says…….NUCULAR. And NO ONE on the crew corrected him?! I had to rewind it just to make sure. I had a lolephant.
Psst.
Nobody cares.
I do. Atoms don’t have a nuculus.
except that it’s another recognized pronunciation.
also, “a atomic explosion?”
2 Language Fails.
a Atomic explosion no less…
an entire period of fails!
recognized pronounciation. in america. after w.
in other words, not really.
Wrong. Webster’s Third New International Unabridged Dictionary.
Published 1993.
No it’s not. American English dosn’t exist. It’s english english or nothing!
Well, it must be that english english that made you misspell “doesn’t.”
PWNED
JAS, ur awesome!
sorry, but our colors only have two vowels…
Canadian English, eh?
You are. Gay. Hrmpfh.
Psst…everyone and thier mom seemed to care when Bush said it. Oooh, that was different, I’m sure, because he didn’t have a script to memorize, 300 people on-set to make sure there were no errors and 20 more years of living/speaking experience, esp. during the time when the A-bomb was invented, and it was used in every sentence. Sry for wasting your time, and forcing you to comment back on such a worthless note. I work in a NUCLEAR shipyard, and I hear ‘nucular’ from guys that have worked here for 30 yrs., as if they can’t comprehend what they actually do for a living.
Psst…he’s the President of the United States…And they’ve played that damn Dubya pronunciation so many times I can’t get it out of my head.
I get your point…though it’s so a waste to point out the various assumptions that you’ve made to put together this nitpicky argument.
And of course there’s also the fact that I honestly wouldn’t care about pronunciation after surviving a nuclear blast, but that’s just me.
in all fairness, George Bush usually said “new-clur,” though I’m not sure that’s any better
So did I. I’m guessing that’s where Bush got it? ;P
If you pronounce the middle day of the week as “Wends-day” or say “comfterble,” you can’t knock anyone for saying “nucular.” http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nuclear. Sorry if that ruins your day.
You forgot “febuary.” and “Oreegone.”
Oh and it’s a free country you certainly can knock somebody for saying “nucular.” We call it “free speech.” Sorry, I’m failing for being rude.
(
Not that I think it’s that big of a deal, but you’ve got a pretty sick, twisted view of what “free speech” is really supposed to be.
Maybe so, but we’ve got such a stupid free speech system (that we hardly ever use) that you can’t blame him for having a twisted view of it.
It’s not twisted….we have the right to say anything we want to whom ever we want……that doesn’t mean you have the right to not be offended.
it’s a free country so i guess ppl are free to believe whatever crappy movies show too.
How about “liberry”?
AGH! My grammar-nazi, library-loving brain! *twitch twitch*
And SKEJEWL….althoguh I hate when people say, ‘ssshedool’ and ‘iyerny’ instead of ‘irony’
*spelling ‘although’ fail*
You’re criticizing that… here… ?
I had a fit when he said that. He’s a college professor for God’s sake!
Yeah, but he’s a professor of archaeology. The correct pronunciation of nuclear isn’t really required for his field.
no but brains are
luckily he’s just a pretend professor
I’ve have met professors who pronounces stuff oddly. For example, one would pronounce ‘giga’ as ‘jigga’ (like Doc. Brown
). This wasn’t a one-off thing either. So long as he’s not a professor of grammar I think he can have preferences for pronunciation 
It’s Indiana Jones. It’s not meant to be realistic, any more than Snakes on a Plane was meant to be realistic. (My dad, who’s flown for decades, is upset they even made SoaP, because “all those snakes could never get past airline security.”)
you would have thought at least SOMEONE on set would have said SOMETHING about the fact that it is spelt AND pronounced NU-CLEAR not NEW-CUE-LER…i mean…someone…
That is actually kinda funny! I <3 lookin fir errors in both script, pronounciacion, and design in movies and shows.
Indiana Jones is what pure concentrated awesomeness one day aspires to be.
amen
GRAMMAR FAIL! “a Atomic” should have been “an Atomic”
Sheesh. Indy kicks ass!
Grammar-fail grammar fail: “an Atomic” should have been “an atomic.”
PFFFFFT wheres my cupcake
right here!
*puts sprinkles on cupcake*
Indy is the only one surviving such a f*cked up sequel without a scratch!
I just can’t wait for the next one in the series:
Indiana Jones and the Legend of the Golden Walker
It should be RIVETING.
UGHHH! The typo is VERY irritating. AN atomic…
/sign
I didnt even notice that until this comment, in my mind i read it right and i didnt even notice the mistake. wow. im lame
ruining the plot…you is doing it really good
Actually, saying that he manages to survive a nuclear explosion by hiding out in a fridge reveals exactly that much about the plot. Meaning, nothing at all. It’s similar to saying that at one point during the movie, he jumps from a moving vehicle – it doesn’t actually tell anything important about the storyline itself.
yeah..I guess your right…I should have said it was ruining the suspense….so when he gets in the fridge…I’ll just prentend I don’t know if he will make or not!
Oh come on. It’s INDIANA-freakin’-JONES. Everyone knows he’ll survive ANYTHING the screenwriters throw at him, on principle.
That’s like not knowing whether Batman will win against the Joker. Everyone knows he’s going to win, because he’s a superhero and that’s how superhero stories work.
The question is, does the hero survive by logical means, or, as in this case, by a ridiculous deus ex machina perpetrated by some moron who doesn’t realize that no one would ever design a lead-lined refrigerator?
yeah just like dumbledore
everybody thought he would survive!
unless they designed the lead-lined refrigerator for the purposes of testing it in an atomic explosion! considering it was in that place that they were bombing, its actually possible.
Hey! No spoilers!!! I didn’t know about Dumbledore till it actually happened so don’t ruin it for people who haven’t caught up yet.
lucky you, I got it spoiled to me in Hot Topic o-O they announced it over the intercom. Grr, stupid store
Chuck Norris wouldn’t need a fridge
haha. True…
Lars Monsen would’ve thrown both the bomb AND Chuck to the moon.
the bomb would need the fridge
god that was a dumb line….. some1 plz kill me
Belongs on fail blog for writing “a atomic”.
The only way for this to be resolved is to have the Mythbusters put it to the test (although I don’t know how they’ll get a nuke for this one).
“This episode of Mythbusters is dedicated to the memory of…”
…the area formerly known as New Mexico?
They could actually pull it off, though… I’m no expert, but all they’d need to do is figure out how much radiation a nuclear blast would create and with what amount of force a fridge of that size and weight (with, of course, someone Harrison’s size inside) would be thrown. Then they could set up some sort of fridge tossing experiment (with a dummy inside, obviously) as well as a seeing how well a dummy inside a lead lined fridge could withstand radiation.
Of course, it’s probably all a lot more complicated than that, but Adam, Jamie Kari, Grant and Tory seem like they’re smart enough to pull it off. Okay, maybe not Tory…
They’ll put Tory in the fridge for the catapult-powered test, and use Buster for the full-scale shot.
Yeah… the lead-lined fridge would have to be perfect because they totally used a real atomic blast in that scene.
I love Indy as much as the next, well, Indy fan. But my eyes rolled so bad after that scene that they almost fell out of my head. Don’t get me wrong, that movie had some pure Indy awesomeness. Just not THAT.
It was totally in keeping with the tone of a 50′s sci-fi flick, though, which is what Indy 4 was going for. Psychic commies and UFOs and a complete lack of knowledge of just how bad “The Bomb” really was.
funny if you’re an adult who gets the reference. kind of brainwashing if you’re a dumb little kid.
Speaking of brainwashing, ever see those old “Duck and Cover” filmstrips? Found one on the Internet years ago, and it still pains me to think that kids were taught that getting under your desk could somehow stop you from being vaporized, or protect you from radioactive fallout.
It’s like telling kids that wearing sunglasses will make them harder to kidnap.
The point of those films was to allay the fear and panic that a nuclear attack would cause. It gave the children at the time some hope that things would be OK.
True, but if I were around back then, I can see myself as being the annoying second-grader who insists that “Duck and Cover” is stupid, even if he can’t explain exactly why it is.
In our school (im in 8th grade) we have these drills for if someone has a bomb and apparently getting in the hallway and standing facing the wall w/ our glasses off will somehow save us from all getting nuked. cuz htat makes *total* sense.
School bombing drills like this are not to save you from getting nuked. Most explosives are not nuclear and the type they are trying to teach you some measure of defense against would be small radius blasts where the biggest threat is the shrapnel
Duck and cover films were never meant to protect from nuclear explosions, they were safety vs standard air raids. With normal bombing runs, duck and cover would protect you from falling debri inside damaged buildings that were not struck directly but were only suffering shock damage from nearby explosions.
Watch some footage of air raids with germany bombing great britain to know what I’m talking about, they would just scatter bomb non-nuclear explosives over random areas of cities.
The best part of all (for some odd reason)=the word “atomic” being capitlized
(Now go check out my blog and stimulate your mind. All comments are appreciated and published.)
The fridge had a led lining. ;]
“Lead” stops radiation, not a blast wave. “Led” stops nothing.
But it does glow.
and it’s very common in fridges.
Unlike lead, which has been known for centuries to be a really bad thing to have near your food and water supplies.
…and in your paint
*eats paint chips-less fattening than potato*
No, they didn’t know lead was poisonous until 1988 or something so it could have really had lead in it.
And the amount of lead in the fridge constitutes well under one tenth-thickness (which, for the gammas emitted from the blast, would be about 2″ of lead – the fridge almost certainly had lead FOIL; lead is far less useful as a shield against neutrons – you want highly hydrogenous materials, water is very good), so he STILL received a lethal dose from the bomb. To say nothing of physical damage from the blast-front itself.
But hey – it’s INDY. Nuff said.
Thank you, unnecessary capitalization.
Ah, yes. Indiana Jones and the Ruination of Everything I Hold Dear.
Yeah, I gotta admit, the plot of this one was pretty ridiculous, but it wasn’t that much more farfetched than previous films. The difference being that in Raiders and in Last Crusade it was more balanced. This movie seemed to be damn near a spoof of the earlier films. I’m not even going to get into Temple of Doom. Crystal Skull still managed to crush that piece of doggy doo. But the plotline of that one seemed even more insane than Crystal Skull too. Raiders & Last Crusade often get a free pass on the supernatural bits since the artifacts in question are biblical in nature (and thus many would argue actually exist, I’m not touching that one though).
Meh, it’s no stupider than in the first three films, where he:
a. Tries to replace a heavy, golden statue with a same-sized bag of sand, which weighs significantly less than gold, and actually expects it to work.
b. Outruns a falling boulder. (Falling objects, even objects rolling down an incline, are constantly accelerating due to gravity. That boulder is gradually speeding up as Indy runs, and should have overtaken him a good deal sooner than the movie indicates.)
c. Sees a man’s heart ripped out of his body continue to beat, then spontaneously combust when the rest of the body falls into a pit of flames. (I’m sorry, I just don’t see how the heart would continue beating for that long, or why the hell it catches fire when it is neither on or near any sources of combustion.)
d. Pushes a Nazi into the path of an airplane propeller, yet manages to dodge the same propeller himself.
e. Finds the Holy Grail, which is made out of METAL. (The real Grail would have been a simple clay or wooden cup, which would most likely have broken or rotted away centuries ago–NOT a goblet made of metal, which would have been far more expensive to produce at the time of Christ.)
None of the Indiana Jones movies were meant to be realistic. Exciting, yes. But certainly not realistic. They weren’t from the very beginning. I’ve only listed a few of the most obvious examples that leaped to mind.
see, I was under the impression that the Holy Grail was Mary Magdeline.
Cripes, I haven’t even seen this flick yet. Maybe I’m glad that there’s no theatre around here to waste my money in.
Waiting for Movie Central to show it – should be on in about a year, I guess.
In spite of what a lot of people seem to think, it wasn’t actually a bad movie. I grew up with the Indy films, and I can quite happily place this in that series. It was no more or less believable than the rest really.
Oh, and about that whole ‘surviving the nuclear fridge’ incident, to be fair, didn’t he drink some of the water of life or some such? Can’t remember exactly what it was, but could be argued that the effects of that drink would allow him to survive where most mortals wouldn’t.
Heh, and let’s not forget. He counts as a player character.
Nahh… It’s bad.
(This is in the Last Crusade movie) Although after he drank the holy grail water, the grail passed over the seal (That it wasn’t supposed to cross EVER) in the sacred place which caused an earthquake. This in turn opend up a bottemless crack in the ground that the grail fell into. So… I don’t think the whole “Eternal Life” thing applies anymore.
Then Henry Jones Sr. would’ve died before riding off into the sunset at the end of LC.
only a true dumbass puts “a” instead of “an” in front of a word that starts with a vowel.
Indiana Jones is and will always be a bad ass. I grew up watching his movies over and over and reenacting them with my friends. I love that he’s older and still managed to make an enjoyable and entertaining movie. Still miss his younger, hotter days, though. Sigh.
For the record- you guys can’t debate how believable the events are that occur in this movie. Did you even SEE the rest of the movies? Seriously. The Holy Grail. Guys pulling hearts out of chests while chanting to Kali-Ma (okay, so that kind of makes sense, but the people went on living while their hearts weren’t in their chests). So surviving nuclear blast while hiding in a refrigerator fits right in.
Yes, he survived the blast, but have you seen the kid he had later with Marion Ravenwood?
It grew up to be Steven Tyler….
um…?
Agreed.
^-^
Here’s an illustration of how much “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” failed. Let’s take another movie hero: James Bond. Those movies are pretty unrealistic, right? Now imagine if James survives a trip through space in a fridge, crash lands on earth and survives, returns home to pay bills and memorialize his grandma, finds out Pee-wee Herman is his son, discovers a secret criminal organization run by monkeys, fights a horde of robots who for no apparent reason want to kill him, and finally becomes friends with Jar-jar Binks.
Sounds more like “Austin Powers” than “James Bond”, right? “Crystal Skull” took the Indy franchise and turned it into Looney Tunes.
My issue with the fridge incident was more that the fridge is thrown into the air and then crashes and rolls, and the unsecured human inside is completely uninjured afterward. THAT’s one Mythbusters could do, and they wouldn’t even need a nuke.
I think you mean “AN atomic explosion”. Or rather “A nuclear explosion”.
I live in a non English speaking country and I speak better English than you, that line should be used in a LOL.
And plus, not only did he survive by hiding inside the fridge. When he stepped out he observed the mushroom cloud from the explosion, he stood not that far away from the spot. And he should at least gotten a severe radiation poison. That part was a bit too unbelievable to be even remotely realistic.
Well it was lead lined.
this guy’s a lush and an adulterer. i don’t like him anymore.
so can Seeley booth!
Wow……..I don’t know what is sadder, the complete lack-of-life displayed by these comments, or the fact I read them….?! Hmmmmm…
Worrying about GRAMMAR on icanhascheezburger.com? Priceless.
^ Epic
Ha!
Watching the first time, I was like “OMG so cool.”
Second Time – “What if the fridge landed on the door side…. Sorry Harrison but your S.O.L! Lmao”
