Sanjay's Pick: Indiana Jones

Trying to inject some masculinity into film club, Sanjay picked Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark for us to watch. It was a while ago that we actually watched this (we have quite a backlog of movies to post- bear with us!) but I'll try to remember.

One thing I do remember is the trivia that we looked up about this movie. This one had lots of fun facts that I really liked:
  • Everyone on the cast and crew got sick at some point during filming with the exception of Steven Spielberg, who only ate the cans of Spaghetti O's that he brought with him. 
  • The sound of the body hits in the movie were made by hitting leather jackets with baseball bats. 
  • Indiana Jones was originally supposed to be named Indiana Smith... just doesn't have the same ring to it.

This has to be the biggest discrepancy between our rating and the Rotten Tomatoes rating that we've had for any movie. ....

  1. I'm going to go ahead and say it was the mood which we all watched the movie in. I think we should probably give the next two a chance and see how you feel about it then... All of Elle's chatting probably didn't help either.
