10.23.09 INDIANA JONES NUKE THE FRIDGE ACTION FIGURE
Anyone involved with the creative decision making on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull should be embarrassed at the unintentional joke of a movie they put out, but at least they have a sense of humor about the whole thing. As long as they can make money off it, anyway. This is the Indiana Jones Nuke the Fridge action figure from Sideshow Collectibles in conjunction with LucasFilm, and it can be yours for just $174.99. I hear for an extra $100, you can watch George Lucas stuff the money in the bullfrog pouch underneath his chin and angrily demand more cat burgers.
The Nuke the Fridge moment famously spawned a catch phrase, but as I’ve said many times, that was far from the most laughably stupid moment of the film. Things that were worse:
- Shia Labeouf swinging through the trees with the monkeys. There’s a moment when Shia gets thrown from a Jeep and lands in the canopy of the jungle. He sees some monkeys up there, and they have what can only be described as “a moment.” In the next scene, Shia is attacking the bad guys with help from his monkey army. Jeez, what could Shia have said to those monkeys up there?
- The fire ants. …Just watch.
- The quicksand snake rope. At one point, Indy is trapped in some quicksand. First of all, it’s 2008 and they’re still using quicksand as a plot device. Indy shouts to Shia to get a rope and pull him out. Shia runs into the jungle to find a rope, only he can’t find a rope, so he comes back with… a giant snake. Because Indy hates snakes, get it? He tosses it to Indy, and now Indy has to escape, using the thing he fears most… as a rope.
I still try to describe the movie to my friends who haven’t seen it and they just say, “No way, dude, you have to be lying. There’s no way that happened.” Never forget.
[thanks to /Film for finding the action figure]

Why is Abe Vigoda in that fridge?
I still haven’t seen this…was Shia La Beouff an apple in the movie? I’m confused.
Is He the only one that thinks that banner pic looks like the Crypt-Keeper getting up in the morning?
Arbu-Shia as an apple might have made MORE sense.
The Puppetmaster marketing team is relieved they can finally stop paying monthly at U-Store-It.
That does look wrong. That’s the “I’ve fallen and a I can’t get up” Medic-Alert Indy, if I’m not mistaken.
Also, The Mighty Feklahr made an Anal Cunt joke in the gay Neo-Nazi thread if anyone is interested. (<— He really wanted to write that sentence…go ahead, read it again…take it in.)
I think you’re also forgetting…”Their treasure was knowledge” line that Indy has to sell to us. I almost punched the audience member in front of me out of frustration when I heard that.
He looks like that scene from House of 1000 Corpses where Otis is wearing that old Sheriff’s face as a mask down to dinner.
Mutt: What are you looking at daddy-o
MUTT!?!
Ox: Three times it drops.
UGH…I FUCKING HATED THIS MOVIE. HATED IT!
So I was on a jobsite visit to a local firehouse recently where the crew was watching this POS on the JUMBO FUCKING BIGSCREEN TV that they have in the main room. And talking about how good it was.*
Maybe supporting our local firefighters isn’t such a good idea after all.
* the “Nuke the Fridge” scene was on as they were expounding the film’s greatness
You can buy a matching figurine of Calista Flockhart lubing up right before sex with Harrison Ford.
The best part is after you’re done clearing space between C3P0 and Spawn on your bookshelf you ca-*reads Burnsy’s comment, vomits* OH MY GOD! I can’t stop shaking!
If memory serves me correctly, Indy first had a run in with Marion when she was still very young.
On that vein, this is the first time that Indy’s been in an Icebox since he was on the set of ‘Little Giants’.
As much as I love Indy, I just can’t bring myself to watch this movie.
You may have ruined Star Wars, Lucas, BUT YOU WILL NOT RUIN INDY FOR ME.
erswi, in their defense, those guys have probably inhaled a lot of smoke, gnome sayin’?
I’m pretty sure that’s David Hasselhoff from last Halloween.
Patty-Let Him tell you, don’t watch this movie, even out of morbid curiosity. It will make you hate life.
Holy shit. I just figured out how my little brother won Hide and Seek Thanksgiving of ‘93. I need to head back to Sandy Springs and finally give my family some closure.
Thank you, Fek. Some folks had told me that it wasn’t so bad, and I’m glad I didn’t give in.
There was an earlier script called “Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men From Mars.” It had Indy, the Russians, and Aliens trying to find the MacGuffin. Plus pirates, crocodiles, and a dog fight between a flying saucer and a WWII fighter plane.
Do what I did to those people that told you it wasn’t so bad. Erase their number from your phone, delete their email address, un-friend them on Facebook and try to pretend they don’t exist.
If that doesn’t work, invest in a home with a crawl space.
Oski, is that a “Teen Wolf Moon” avatar?
I heart you for that.
I want the Indiana Jones wiping his ass with with a crisp 100 dollar bill action figure. It could even come with the optional Indiana Jones takes a steaming dump on a UFO limited edition set.
