Title: The Indy Rules
Post by: mokin on May 28, 2008, 04:12:33 AM: For an Indiana Jones movie to succeed, it must have:

* Nazis
* an opening not directly related to the rest of the film
* Sallah
* Marcus Brody
* a quest for a biblical object
* a desert setting

It must not have:

* a young sidekick
* primitive civilizations

Anything I’m forgetting?
