: Is when the tank falls over the cliff. The whole time I'm chanting "toy tank...toy tank...toy tank" in my mind. Oh well, they can't all be perfect.

Agreed. That is a bad shot- It's so obviously a model. I think it's interesting that all 3 movies bascially resolve by having the bad guys die in a cheesy special effect shot.

Raiders- the Melting Wax Guys (O.k.- so maybe I was scared/fooled when I was 7)

T.of Doom- Mola Ram falls off the cliff into the crocodiles- sure, that almost looked real. Not.

Last Crusade- Angry Kraut goes off the cliff in a riduculous "into the camera" shot, then the toy tank.

At least Donovan's death was somewhat believable.

This doesn't change the fact that I love these movies. Hey, they were only supposed to be "B" movies anyway, right?

Cheers,
Abner
