Dean1700 4 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I watched KOTCS today and heard something very familiar when Indy is on the rocket sled escaping from the Russians. Has anyone else noticed that when the sled takes off that the sound it makes is the same as all the ACME rockets Wile E Coyote (super genius) uses in the Warner Bros Road Runner cartoons.A nice little homage I think.

Luke Skywalker 1,284 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 it could be that both use a rocket recorded sound...But the scene could well be a hommage. Desert, rocket, railroad. i think i saw one cartoon where the coyote used thar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 13 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Flying fridge was definitely homage to Willy E. Coyote ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 No the fridge was more of a homage to Bugs Bunny because he got away.If it was an homage to Wile E. Coyote we would have seen the fridge still sitting in the middle of the blast area with just the frame surviving and burnt Indy sitting in the middle with all his clothes blown off and stars circling around his head.

Ollie 859 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I would have got up and walked out of the movie theatre if he had pulled a stunt like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamsfan301 11 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's right where Willie Scott is taking a shower and Mola Ram murders her, dressed like his mom. How could you have missed that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess about the only thing to do now is sit and what for the Monty Python quotes and watch it really do down hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned Indiana Jones and Wile E. Coyote in the same thread. And Luke was the first one to run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
