Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods

[mcity]

This was a script for what would become Crystal Skull. I got the link from srs, and guess what? It's really good. You know the much reviled fridge-nuking scene? It's in there. Except it's portrayed as a crazy, last-ditch effort, Indy himself is amazed he survived, and he's rushed to decon for a humiliation scrub. The CIA agent watching describes him as "the luckiest man alive", and then points out the fridge was lined with lead. And we've already a)discovered that Indy's friend was a Red agent, and b)had several rapid-fire violations of the laws of physics. The nuke is just a climax a sequence of climbing ridiculousness. At the very least, "nuking the fridge" likely wouldn't be the geek culture synonym for "jumping the shark" that it is now.
