IMDB User Comments

This Is Family Entertainment ? In script terms this is just a big budget cliffhanger serial from the 1930s except for one important difference - Sadistic violence. Villains are burned , shot , crushed , melted and blown up. Okay so most of them are comic book Nazis so that makes it okay I guess . Even so I do think the violence is way over the top especially the bit where the blood splashes all the over the plane . And correct me If I`m wrong but isn`t the legendary scene where Indie shoots the Arab swordsman been ripped off from THE BENNY HILL SHOW ?
