U-Boat in Lost Ark - Page 2

Torplexed · 02-11-07, 02:05 PM

Used that scene from Indiana Jones in my old signature image. Always wondered what a U-Boat was doing prowling the eastern Mediterranean in 1938. Long way from Wilhemshaven.

I've complained many times that he couldn't survive if they dived, and couldn't avoid being spotted by the watch crew if they didn't...

And I never once noticed the *%&^$# uniforms!

Actually, that is a panzerfaust. Just as historically inaccurate, though.

Hmm i've studied WW2 weapons before and that panzerfaust doesnt look like a panzerfaust, but i could be wrong

Are you talking about the Director's Cut DVD of Das Boot saying that?

Yea - you're right - not really like a panzerfaust. In my memory, it looked a lot like an...RPG.

The type of anti-tank rocket he uses to threaten with is modern, dating back to the 70s.

Maybe Indy build a timemachine?

Out of a watermelon, a paperclip, and some bullet casings!

No, wait, wrong character, sorry

(intentional :rotfl: )

It s not a panzerfaust, neither a panzershreck. It looks like a damn russian RPG...

Well it is a Panzerfaust that looks like a Russian RPG which was made by a hollywood prop shop, hahaha. I looked at several WW2 weapons books to determine that answer.

I always wondered where he stayed during the course of that voyage. :hmm:
Did he just hide behind the conning tower for this obviously surfaced trip? Or did he somehow get aboard and manage to not get noticed by the 40 or so men inside the sub?

Always wondered about that.

This is Indiana Jones man, we do not ask question like that. You know very well that he held his breath while hanging on the railing until the island was reached.

A chihuahua called Thor? Heresy!

What I found peculiar, besides the enigma of Dr. Jones' survival (the periscope view of the island indicates that at least some of this journey took place while submerged) was the fact that the order to start the engines and dive the boat were given to a crew that was stationed downstairs. This uboat, evidently, had multiple decks.

AVGWarhawk · 02-16-07, 03:23 PM

Maybe it was a midget sub on the aft deck...we just did not see it. Indy got in and road it out to the island:hmm:.
