Someone explain this please

In Last Crusade, Indy's father drank from the Holy Grail, which made him immortal. Yet by Crystal Skull, he was dead.

This doesn't make any sense 😖

Well that woman walked over that seal and of course the power from the cup was lost ??

indeed, you can get immortality if you drink from the cup... but it only works if you stay inside the seal as the knight explains.

Now thats was a truly great indy film...

It was good.

And yes, immortality only worked when you stayed inside and had a drink of water once in a while.

once in a while? I thought once and that it would last forever?

Yes....while you remain within the seal.
Leave and its buggered.

Well, the knight had certainly aged a bit. I doubt he was looking that bad when he found the grail. Maybe he stopped drinking from the cup.

Or went outside for a while without the grail crossing the seal.

Mind you, without that exposition, I'm comfortable assuming that it took him x-amount of years to find it, and that he was old there.

I mean, who could covet the secret of eternal life more than those perhaps fearful of the unfolding realities of their twilight years...?

HEhehe,...

But that doesn't work. The tow brother returned after 150 years. People didn't get old in medieval times, so we have to assume the knight to be somewhere in their early thirties... And 150 passed before the two got back.

The tow brother...? *Counter spelling-nazism* lolz

I hear you about historical life spans, but doenst that render the holy grail to be...well....useless as far as eternal life goes...?

not at all, it gives what it promises: eternal life... just with a high prize 😛

😛 The grand price of....eventual death through old age..?

Meeeeeehhhhhhhhh religious artifacts....
Never seem to do what they say on the tin....

This would make the cup the equivalent of any woman's skin moisturiser..... May delay wrinkling, but the years will catch up.

Bloody swizz. 😛

Still if they over-explained everything, I guess it would fail to capture the viewer's imagination.

Well, they didn't in TLC, and that's why it works.

Agreed.

Now let's fix KOTC.

Easily done with cunning use of editting (by omitting everything past the warehouse scene).

😂

The original master, past that point needs to be sealed in lead, concrete, and dumped in the north sea, just to be on the safe side. 😖hifty:

Why the North Sea?
