Indiana Jones’ Most Controversial Scene Was Originally In A Completely Different Movie

The most controversial moment in the Indiana Jones franchise sees Indy surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead-lined fridge – but that scene was originally conceived for a completely different movie. There are plenty of ludicrous action scenes in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – from Mutt Williams swinging with CG monkeys to a flying saucer leaving Earth – but the fridge-nuking scene is the most notorious by far. In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Indy travels back in time to meet Archimedes, and even that sequence wasn’t criticized as much as Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s “nuke the fridge” scene.
