I had a Norge refrigerator that my parents bought in 1953. As of 2023 it was still working. The only thing it ever needed was a new bulb inside which I replaced two years ago. and a new power cord. I finally got rid of it because it wasn't energy efficient at all. Had it recycled and received $75 from the power company. It was bomb proof and heavy. I don't think it was lead lined though.

[@roadbeef]

I suppose drinking from the holy grail also protects one from massive repeated blunt force trauma, insane accelerative g-forces. Let's do the math. That car fled the scene for a total of 54 seconds at lets say a rough average of 50mph which means it covered 0.75 miles from doctor jones. That 0.75 miles is covered by the jones fridge in 6 seconds, from blastwave hitting the house to the fridge flying over the car. To cover that distance in that time requires an average fridge velocity of 450mph. An atomic blast wave will provide near instantaneous acceleration given the insane force behind it. Let's be nice and say the accel duration was 0.1 secs. That's a 250g acceleration. Sorry gang but doctor jones is now a liquid.

That's why I love Indiana Jones.He is not interested in the realism of physical actions, his main goal is to be fun and immersive. This is a cartoonish adventure in live-action. It was always like this. Also the Crystal Skull > Dial. I like the cold-war paranoia, the red scare pointing fingers at the witch hunt. In 2008, The Dark Knight grossed $ 1 billion, while the box office of this film was $ 800 million. So it was pretty good at the box office.

Around the time this movie came out in theaters, I was learning about this time period in my high school history class. A few days after I had seen the movie in theaters, we learned about how the government built fake towns just like this in the desert for nuclear testing. After class was over, I told my teacher that Indy stumbled onto one of those towns in the new movie. When I told him how Indy survived, he laughed and said "Only Indiana Jones." 😂

I just realized after all these years, thats Mike from The Middle 3:28 😦

Janitor!

[@metalface3527]

Believe it or not, the siren that stars off 0:37 is accurate since those models were built in the 50s

[@freedomwriter1995]

Another example of the witch hunts of the red scare at its finest.

[@Paul-cu9lu]

Considering how many communists now infect many institutions in this country, that fear was warranted.

[@iiiDartsiii]

witch hunt.. you serious? lol the 2 almost went into a nuclear war you forgot that part?

[@freedomwriter1995]

@iiiDartsiii I meant with regard to how those feds just barged in their and blatantly accused Jones of being a collaborator and a traitor.

I love this movie, the popular reasons for hating it are so stupid !!

[@badgerattoadhall]

This movie was awful.

[@Classified61838]

@@badgerattoadhall it may not be good, but at least it still has adventure and spirit to it

[@jackjohnston1298]

I can agree that this movie was good but I just think most people were just being a bit too mean to it hence nowadays it’s received a lot more love than hate because of dial of destiny

[@Snowflame512]

@@jackjohnston1298i thought Dial of Destiny was better than this.

[@jackjohnston1298]

@@Snowflame512 well I personally think they are both just as good

[@wildpurple005]

Oddly enough the explosion itself is incredibly accurate, it’s his survival that’s not

[@gm6856]

I feel like this scene inspired Call of Duty B01 nuke town map

[@moneyteammartin9316]

Everytime I watch this scene the black ops 1 multiplayer theme plays in my head

[@After4th]

It's like that's the only fridge that survived when other houses have fridges too.

[@omegajrz1269]

New Mexico and aliens are a natural fit. Roswell, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Paul, Thor...

[@bennipratamaputra]

Apart from going into the lead refrigerator, he also consumed Radaway and Rad-X 😂😂😂

[@nuclear_war_games]

Atleast dial of destiny was so bad, it made this movie look better

[@jadenwimee-ls1mn]

I never really thought this movie was bad, and Dial just vindicated me.

[@Gabriel-rp2pc]

I always enjoyed the 4th movie, but Dial of Destiny really sucked

[@nuclear_war_games]

@Gabriel-rp2pc yeah it also didn't help that when I watched Dial of Destiny at the cinema, it was so loud it was giving me tinnitus, I kept getting dizzy

[@dustinsova4937]

So next time if your caught up in some nuclear test site, use a refrigerator to survive.

[@vic.labedan3516]

This scene is so particular but it works for me

[@paranoiddroid9570]

Don’t care what anyone says about this movie. It’s one of the most fun Indiana Jones movies.

[@gibustheinfamous]

For the worst movie, this is arguably one of the greatest scenes in the entire franchise.

[@thefatboi777]

And now we get to witness this test site in Black Ops series. Thank you Treyarch.

[@thebombingsoda]

2:17 How screwed do you think he would be if it landed lid down?

[@colormedubious4747]

Those WW2 missions sound like the movie they SHOULD have made. Instead, they jumped the shark AND nuked the fridge.

[@michaelreeves4529]

Even if he survives the blast he would be infected with radiation poison when he gets out of the fridge close to the blast without a hazard suit

[@User54366]

It's a movie
