In Raiders, I think the creepy torture guy with the glasses melted, and Belloq exploded.
It didn't seem weird that I knew that until I wrote it out.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's what I remember, too. One head melts, another pops.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Yeah, after all the Nazis get electrocuted or scared into melting by the spectral figures, Belloq takes a slow-moving fireball from the Ark itself right in the kisser.

Aha.
when the movie was originally submitted for an MPAA rating, it was given a rating of "R" because of the sight of an exploding head. In order to lower the rating, flames were superimposed over this image. The result was the appearance of a head exploding behind a dense curtain of flames.
I don't know if I've ever really registered that. Huh. I think it's all about the melty head for me.

Wouldn't The Prophecy count in that category?
Scary Walken, Scarier Viggo.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Actually, God's not in the conflict we see onscreen, so it's Angel vs. Devil.
"He doesn't talk to me anymore."
One of the saddest lines in the movie.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Scary Walken, Scarier Viggo.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - that's quite an accomplishment for Viggo, especially given the screen time each has.
