:I like Temple as much as Raiders and Crusade though as a gun guy I do notice the lack of firearms use. However, I would say in Temple's case that the story/setting has a lot to do with ''why'' there isn't much gunplay (It is, after all, a prequel to Raiders, and I would think Indy got wiser about the gun thing after the events in Temple). And fcm, I think there's no one to really object except actual Nazis so don't worry about it. :b Well, that and the fact it is Nazis involved - These are Indy films, not Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers.

Revision as of 22:57, 14 July 2011
Realization
Does anybody else think that the two Indiana Jones's where he shoots a lot more people (Raiders and Crusade) are much better than the two where he hardly shoots anybody (Temple and Skull)? I guess the story could have something to do with it too.
- It's the two with where you have Nazi bad guys. Let's face it, Nazis make good villains. (Too good. Spielberg refused to ever again make a film with cartoon-ish Nazi villains after making Schindler's List.) --Funkychinaman 16:50, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
- (And yes, I know it's wrong to use the term "Nazis" as a blanket term for Germans. But I'm just quoting Indy himself, "Nazis, I hate these guys.") --Funkychinaman 16:56, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
- I think when they're just being cartoonishly evil it's safe to call them Nazis, because they all are. Plus, we all know that German is the best language for being evil in. Evil Tim 17:11, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
