No man in history has ever been more sure of the cock. Ford's charms always smooth the character's edges, but my guy opens this film as the dictionary definition of cocksure. "I had it in my hand," he tells Marcus Brody ( Denholm Elliott), ignoring the several dozens times he almost died while also tying the historic significance of the find to his own personal glory. That opening trek through the trap-filled temple is masterful stage-setting, but its undercurrent is what it eventually tells us about Indiana Jones. That would be Indy's emotional arc, crystal clear from the moment we meet him. RELATED: 'Indiana Jones' Movies Ranked From Worst to Bestīut Indiana Jones has no effect on the outcome of Raiders of the Lost Ark because that's not the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's become one of the most common " did you ever notice this?" topics in cinema history, rivaling Daniel LaRusso's illegal crane kick and that Stormtrooper who bonks his head on a doorframe. TBBT didn't invent the idea-it's probably been circulating since the first uber-nerd left a matinee in 1981-but it did turn it into A Thing, sparking headlines like " How The Big Bang Theory Ruined Indiana Jones For Everyone" and " Has The Big Bang Theory Ruined Indiana Jones Forever?" and ensuring you'd have to hear about it every time you see that cousin whose 10,000-case Blu-ray collection is just different releases of the same three Michael Mann films. As explained in the 2013 episode "The Raiders of Minimization," the idea posits that Indiana Jones ( Harrison Ford) has no effect on the outcome of Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark had Indy simply stayed at home, the Nazis still would have opened up the Ark of the Covenant and melted like a package of aggressively racist Peeps put in a microwave.
