Yes, probably better than Bond girls in the fact that they are more than simply a plot device ripe for pantomine!

Just to clarify -

Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood (Raiders of the Lost Ark & Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)

Kate Capshaw as Wilhelmina 'Willie' Scott (Temple of Doom)

Alison Doody as Elsa Schneider (Last Crusade)

Elsa's got my vote

Elsa for being sexy, Marion for being first love. A bit like Leia vs. Padme in SW.

Get out with the Star Wars anaolgies! Those words shalt not be spoken here!

Why not? Lot of the same creators.

Because Indiana Jones it better.

Hmmm.... ToD - ESB.... I think ESB wins.

I think it does too. Madness eh. You could use that analogy for Return of the Jedi and have it lose to Last Crusade. Then we have the prequels, oh dear the prequels. No, Indiana Jones beats it, and the predictability of referencing Star Wars is a rookie mistake Class A.

Don't let me get Mark Ruffalo out 'ere.

That sounds scary.

Well, I do believe that without SW there would be no Indy. There would however be Highroad to China 1, 2 and 3...

You've ruined the brilliance of Indy by already mentioning SW, so yes, I can say without SW there would obviously be no Indy.

You've turned it all off topic and I am immune because I have Mark Ruffalo gunning for my team.

Turning stuff off topic is what I do. Thanks for the compliment!

Hmm, you do have a point there. You destory even the best threads.

*Cue Paltrow Oscar moment*

....nope, the tears just aren't coming...they just aren't coming!

THank you, thank you... took years of practise.

Even though she was the least hottest. I always liked Karen Allen.

It's probably because the original is my favorite.

Elsa was awesome, but she ended up screwing Indy over, so I'm going to go with Marion.

Willie isn't hot, isn't smart, isn't even nice.

She's blond.

so is Elsa, who also has a brain. If she hadn't been a femme fatale, I would have just adored her. As a blonde myself, we need more smart role models!

Try dying your hair.

Marion gets my vote. Looks AND personality go a long way.

True. I chose Elsa for hotness only.

'Tis forgivable.
















































But you'll hate yourself tommorrow when Elsa burgles your house and sells your bank information to the nearest bidder..!!

But the stories I could tell...

....about how she managed to conceal the lampstand about her naked person...?

Good one.

Mind you, having thought more about it, Marion'd drink you out of house and home. And she'd be the last one standing all the time!

I mean, you could try taking her out for drinks, but if you were buying, you'd soon be bankrupt.

Indeed.

I'm going to have to go with Elsa, just because she was awesome enough to get the better of Joneses.

Elsa for hotness? Marion would have been, you know, dirty...

You like dirty?

I think Elsa was the finest acted character, but Marion seems to fit Indy's character with the best chemistry to me

Very true, she was a good match for Indy.

Elsa
I like the style and look of women from that "period" of Germanys history.

Oh... you're that kind of guy.

Elsa with wet hair looking pissed off did it for me personally

She is the hottest for sure.

I liked her biting Indy as well. She can do that to me.

She likes older men though.

I'll pretend to be older.

that sucks bawling

"It breaks the heart."

"...and the head."

Marion Ravenwood or Willie.

You like Willie? You like a screamer?

~~**She's BLOND?**~~ Sweet Mary Michael....she's sleeping with her boss!!--not attractive, not impressive oh my!! She did produce a beautiful child who is an actor.

Elsa--naw, woman who sleeps with dad and son, iffy morals and in general unattractive.

Which brings us to the real and only winner in this vote: Marion--remember that night on the freighter, there isn't anyone on this planet who can wear a white tulip skirted bias-cut satin gown like Marion...she has energy, a sense of humor, faith in her man, she cleans up nice, can be rode hard and put up wet, she is resourceful, fearless, loyal, loving, and she can drink and swear like a sailor--And she's aged rather gracefully all things considered. All this is in my humble opinion--worth exactly what you paid for it.

As long as the sex is good..

Amen.

Do we know for a fact Elsa was wonderful? She's the one who tells Indy HE was wonderful? She seems like the type that would just lay there.

Henry will say she's wonderful because I don't think he gets to tap a lot of ass that often.

Marion? She'd be a tigress.

Who the hell voted for Willie?

I think a nazi girl like Elsa might be very hot in fiery in the sack.

Hope you have Aryan-enough features for her then!

I'll simulate....

LOL Not me. I can assure you.

I was all for Marion, and yes, in Raiders she was a fiery little minx, she'd eat ya alive, no doubt, but in KOTCS she became a doe-eyed stepford wife like a bad advert for valium.

I'd get the impression that the most full on thing Marion Ravenwood gets up to by the end of the fifties, is knitting or flower arranging, instead of busting a glass or bottle over the head of some enibriated Nepalese local.

What a waste of a return.

Good point.

Ooh, tough call on Marion in KOTCS. I liked the movie, but I kind of agree with you. She didn't get much of a chance to do anything tough. I guess they were trying to show that having a kid and getting older softened her a little, but she should have at least gotten to try to outdrink someone or shoot a gun. Moms are not passive. If she were portrayed realistically and true to her character, she would have gone all mother-bear on the Soviets for messing with her kid.

Scene parallels TLC when Indy does the "don't call me Junior" bit and shoots the Nazis in the castle.

Indy: I can't believe you let them capture you!

Mutt: Mom, mom, mom, mom...

Spalko: All of you will die if you do not help us.

Oxley: Blabber blabber...

Spalko: If you will stop arguing long enough...(takes gun and points it right at Mutt) Maybe now you filthy Americans will do what we say?

Marion: I told you... (kicks guy and takes his gun and kills Spalko) don't call my family filthy!!!!!!!

(Indy gets boner)

Good call.

And that'd scenario's end would give John Williams the excuse he needs to cue a filthy wah-wah soundtrack.







I must say though. I'm impressed with the social conscience message now installed in the movies:

"If you sleep with people unprotected, an annoying LeBeouf like son might come find you one day and push you out of your own life for the financial sakes of some already rich people."
