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.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

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.

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.

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.

Which Christopher Walken Character Would You Least Like To Be Trapped In A Room With?
The batshit crazy guy from THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS or the pre-headless horseman Hessian.

Only if I can borrow his lippy.
