I suppose he wanted to see Indy's face and gloat about the poison and make him give the diamond back. Typical dick move from a villain, I guess. Also typical dumb move from a villain, explaining stuff to one's adversary and giving them the means to defeat the deathtrap.

I never quite understood why Lao Che brought the actual antidote, since he never intended to give it to Indy anyway. Like, why didn't he just bring a vial of coloured water?

The "pen is mightier than the sword" bit was ruined in the film. In the novel, Henry has that line, so I assume that was how it was scripted, and it would've worked had Connery muttered it after dispatching the ink-splodged Nazi. But instead we got Denholm Elliott delivering the line and mugging, accompanied by a

The very first time I became aware of Donald Trump was via Sam Viviano's caricature of Trump as the ruler of "The Palace of Glitz" in MAD's 1990 parody The Wizard of Odds. Kinda sad that the man was a pop-culture punchline 30 years ago and yet still became president.

But did any of the kids steal a box of raisins from the table?

A bit of trivia: in Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men, Juror #12 was played by Lee J. Cobb, who went on to play Det. Kinderman in William Friedkin's The Exorcist. In Friedkin's remake of 12 Angry Men, Juror #12 was played by George C. Scott, who played Kinderman in The Exorcist III.

I'd have more faith in Jefferson D'Arcy or Stan Gable than in any of the nutbags currently inhabiting the White House.

We need the Ghost of Bruce Lee to show the Democrats how to kick Trump's ass. Cue homoerotic training montage!

Technically, wouldn't the Trump supporters be obliged to defend piss, not shit? (Unless the contents of said tape are even worse than we'd been led to believe.)

I think the Mooch is trying to be Alec Baldwin's character from Glengarry Glen Ross.

Accidentally downvoted (stupid fingers!). Have since upvoted.

It really is stuffed to the gills with faces that made me go "Hey! It's _____!" when I watched it. David Warner as Bob Cratchit! Susannah York as Mrs Cratchit! Roger Rees as Fred! Frank Finlay as Jacob Marley's Ghost! Angela Pleasence as the Ghost of Christmas Past! Edward Woodward as the Ghost of Christmas Present!

Shout-out for Roger Rees, who is great as Fred. Really brings out the character's innate goodness and his genuine hurt at being spurned by Scrooge.

I wish I could say something substantial and/or witty, but all I can say is, holy shit, I love David Warner and this is just a fantastic interview. Thank you, Will.

I'm talking about Steven Tash, you're talking about Stuart Charno.

Maybe he was talking about Prince and the New Power Generation. (And if he wasn't, he should have.)

And the punk who got it in the gas station was the college kid Peter Venkman tortured at the start of Ghostbusters, if memory serves…

This is all that needs to be inscribed above the entrance of the Trump Presidential Library.

Wasn't Moochie the fat kid who got crushed to death by the car in Christine?
