Why didn't the Soviets go after the Ark?

I dunno... some of those Siberian farmers might actually like it after a few gallons of vodka.

If by "Vodka", you mean "LSD", then I'd agree.

'Til 'The Fear' sets in. 😖hifty:

Obviously, you have no idea how much vodka these guys drink. 😉

Yes I do....

Almost as much as Slash and Duff did back in the eighties. 😛

And then four times that.

As much as them and Oliver Reed combined...?

Hmmm... that'd be kinda inhuman.

They would be demigods of drinking.

They'd need some kind of communal Robo-Liver.

I don't believe that is possible. I don't even believe Oliver Reed was possible.

My theory is that he died in 1982.

He just didnt realise for all those years.

Drunsk as a skunk. Hilarious.

He should thank Ridley Scott for a last minute save of his career. But the alcholo restriction Scott gave him prolly killed him.

He sold him queer giraffes.

That helped.

A great last role.

Indeed. I loved what they did with his death, reusing a bit of deleted footage of the (non-scripted) repetition of that line 'shadows and dust'. As if he knew a bit more solemn version would have some prupose. Or perhaps he was secretly drunk again.

A combination of the last two factors, I'd guess.

According to Scott he didn't drink during the shoot. I believe him.

His word is good enough for me.

I can sure see him kick Reed's butt when he caught him drinking.

He hasnt got a reputation for suffering fools gladly.
