[edit] Rare Ruby??
The followed by field says "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Rare Ruby". Where did that come from?
[edit] Soviet?
This last sentence makes no sense at all:
"The Communist Party of the Russian Federation called for the film to be banned, accusing the production team of demonizing the Soviet Union. Party official Andrei Andreyev said: "It is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."[116] Another party official commented that "in 1957 the USSR was not sending terrorists to America but sending the Sputnik satellite into space!"[117] Spielberg responded that he is Russian, as his ancestors came from Ukraine,"
Surely that would make his family Ukrainian, not Russian? They're entirely separate nations, with different alphabets, everything. Even in the days of the USSR, no Ukrainian Soviet would describe himself as Russian, or vice versa. Can we change this? JulesVerne (talk) 18:03, 26 June 2009 (BST) Lack of camp nazi enemy makes this film poor in comparison to previous ones, Russians don't really have that comedy evil about them like that of the Gestapo agent from the first film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.241.66 (talk) 17:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Nuclear Test
The nuclear test explosion Dr. Jones survives early in the movie is undoubtedly Plumbbob Fizeau, this being the only tower shot at the Nevada Test Range fired during local daylight hours in 1957. This would date the movie with precision as beginning on 14 September 1957 (source: http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/Plumbob.html). I don't know if this counts as original research or not, but if anyone feels confident enough to incorporate it, be my guest :) Nude Amazon (talk) 06:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
When they showed the flight from south america to the us over south america, central america, belize.... hey wait a minute! belize was british honduras until 1981, and this film was set in 1957.Bidask (talk) 02:14, 18 December 2009 (UTC)bidask 12/17/2009

- For purposes of "average joe" it's Belize. They did something similar in all the movies, gave a recognizable location instead of the proper one for the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 02:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] ancient astronauts theory not mentioned once?!
The whole movie is inspired by real theories of Erich von Daniken et al. Why is there no mention of it in this article?--Wangond (talk) 17:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- It isn't mentioned because there is no reference for it. If you know of a reliable source that says Lucas and Spielberg were inspired by Daniken, you can add it. But do not add that claim, as you have already done, without a source. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 03:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Fallout 3 booth
The manequins used in the Nuclear test scene are the same ones that the Fallout 3 booth were using according to Todd Howard, CEO of Bethesda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.204.68 (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] A scientific study on nuked fridge survivability
