On second thought, I don't think that either Ford or Rhys Davies is built for excessive running and jumping anymore... Maybe the two of them will sit around in comfortable rocking chairs and just watch two younger guys stick it to the Nazis.

: Seriously, the Sallah from Raiders was actually respectable. In LC he was a bumbling fool.
: The same with Marcus, it was like they were hit with retardedness.
: Did anyone else notice this?

Yeah. I really expected better of Marcus especially. He gave us museum types a bad reputation we're only now shedding. Although, I admit it was kind of funny when Indy told the Nazis that Marcus was so knowledgable about local customs that he could slip in unnoticed and disappear. Then we cut to Marcus, and he's wondering around like a idiot. And yeah, Raiders Sallah was much better than LC's Sallah. Perhaps he wasn't the best digger in Cairo anymore...
