Lurker 5 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Did you guys notice the camera work on WOTW after they escape the city, when they're talking in the car...amazing.There was a car commercial here in the states a few years ago that did the same thing.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 What happens to Belloq and the Nazis after opening the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark is pretty good.But Donovan's death in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade impressed me more than the other one.I also agree with some of the scenes already mentioned, so it's not necessary to repeat them.

There was no way to top that "melting"-effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson 1 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 You'll all a bunch of "wallys". Truly the best special effect sequence, IMHO, is THE OPENING OF STAR WARS. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Donovan's fast death was scary as hell, and very well done.Toht's death was incredible for a 1981 film IMO.EDIT: talking about the Last Crusade videogame in another thread, I realize that I played that game short after it was released, so early '90, the era in wich I also played Fate of Atlantis and the first 2 Monkey Island. So yeah, I say Last Crusade for the first time in 1990-91. I was 7-8 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 That's absurd...talking about Indy being full of CGI's effects, when Donovan's death is one of the rare (if not the unique) examples.When I said in a thread some time ago "I (and Lucas) don't want any CGI in Indy IV", I meant I don't want a movie full of computer's effects.I think that Indy IV, for be great and succesfull, must look like the other three, it must keep the classic " '80 look" we all know and love.Of course they need more make-up fo Harrison Ford, and more stuntmen for him, but I don't want to see a CGI's effect in every damn scene. Gimme the whip, the hat, the leather jacket, and everything's gonna be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 So Connery didn't shot at his own plane for real? That's a shoker, I always though they used real bullets with real machine guns with real planes, and that the *SPOILERS* the plane really fell down!

bondo 33 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Some of the most convincing CGI work I've ever seen was in Black Hawk Down. I didn't realize how extensive the use of CGI was until I watched the special features. They are very well hidden in the film, IMO.Also Terminator 2: Judgement Day had great effects that still stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
