: : : I'm thinkin' that weasely Jock character was just Indy's ride home in "Raiders". Otherwise somebody's got a lot of 'splainin' to do. Because if Jock dropped Indy off at the river/lake then what's the deal with all the guides and junk? Indy's leadin' the way plus he's got the map, so he don't need no guides. And what's with the donkey's carryin' supplies and stuff? You don't need no special gear to walk a distance that Indy ran in about 20 seconds....but then if Jock was just there to pick Indy up, how did he know where to be? It's a conspiracy baby, yeah!

: : If you'll read the script and all other sources regarding the start of Raiders, Indy only had 1/3 of the map, the other two handed him the other two pieces that he was holding together when he was almost shot in the back. I always thought that Jock just flew Indy there to meet the others, and was to fly him and the idol out of the country after it was found. At least that's the way past conversations have gone concerning his presence. Regards. Michaelson

: I'm don't think that Jock brought Indy to Peru. If he had, Indy would have known about Reggie.Unless, of course, Jock picked up Reggie while waiting for Indy, but that seems like a stretch. I think Indy started the expedition from a nearby village and told Jock to be waiting for him at a designated spot. Jock arrived a little early and decided to get in a little fishing (pirahna fillets! Mmmmm!) Then Indy cut Jock's fishing short when he burst from the jungle with the Hovitos on his heels. The question I have is is the Chachapoyan temple was that close to a large water source, why didn't Indy just go by boat?

ROB T. here,
Satipo and Barranca owned part of the map and were in some sort of partnership with Indy which they then tried to break. I don't think Jock took Indy in. He was just there to pick him up after. As far as why Indy didn't just take a boat, maybe a boat would have attracted too much attention from the Hovitos. Or maybe he did take a boat in but needed a faster getaway since he was there to steal their idol?
My question is how did Belloq get there. I don't remember if the novel addressed this or not, but if Belloq didn't have a map then how did he know where the temple was?
Also, Austin Powers, why would you call Jock weasely? He's one of my fave characters in the movie. I think he makes a very good impression considering that he's only got two lines and maybe two minutes of screentime.
