Yup. He would have done well directing the last 10 mins of that film... :P
Except for if he had, his portion of the movie would have to cut away to a commercial for a the military devoting 98% of the movie to that instead of any relevant storyline/subject matter.
So yes, he could even screw up his own lampooning.
I think the Hot Fuzz guys did well imitating him. If Bay had directed it, it prolly wouldn't be as funny. Although... Pearl HArbour was a hilarious comedy.
Agreed they did a blinding job. I couldn't have taken the piss more accurately with a high powered mocking rifle with a custard pie scope on it.
Ahhhhhh you see it where human beings/humanity gets involved that Bay falls down at the 1st hurdle and his work turns into a big embarrassing heap of clueless excrement.
tod was the worst. kotcs on the other hand was pure awsome. now keep in mind that the indy films are based on actualy historic items. speilberg did a great job on indy 4 but i do ask please DONT DO A 5TH. 4 is enough

I believe Indy's line "If you believe that sort of thing" is key.
The movies are based on religious and cultural myths, certainly, but 'til someone turns up with the Ark as per film, and it does everything in the movie, the moviegoer cannot class it or the items seriously as 'historic'.
Same goes for the holy grail.
And the shankara stones.
(The Titanic is more of a historic item.
Exclude the Jack and Rose bullshit and it happened..
if you go to the grand banks and dive you can see a wreck as proof of this..)
Awesome movies with great old myths featured, sure, but history?
Nope not for me, thank you sir.
And then they go screw the pooch that is called amassed credibility in this one by having a non-metallic crystal be able to exert implied magnetic force on metallic objects...!!!
The slagggggggggggggggggggssssssssssssssssss.
No where in history was that reported!
Double slagggggggggggggggggggggssssssssssssssss......!!!!!!!!
Not to mention that if someone HAD managed to take a nuke by getting in a fridge (and also simultaneously setting the fridge-powered-flight-air-speed-record, you'd think that that particularly noteworthy incident would have been jotted down somewhere...!
