The Dr Jones Method (for the youth of today 'Pwn'd bi Dr Jones')

If you've never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark then you're either too young to have heard of it or you're some arty farty type that prefers to watch French cinema (with subtitles of course).



Watch it and love this classic and iconic piece of movie history.

But the moment I wish to discuss in this rambling post is the moment (for me) I'd never seen before in film.
The scene where Dr Jones has the show down with the dude with the big sword. See below:
The Dr Jones Method

The scene was not only hilarious but also elavated the character to one of the coolest hero's ever created.

The Second comes in the form of Open Range and the character of Charley Waite.

When the free grazing crew lead by Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner crosses paths with the grumpy Irish cattle baron played by Michael Gambon, Costner and co are provoked into a fight they didn't want.

The result of which leaves Mr Gambon wishing he hadn't left his wand at home.

Click here to see what happens when Mr Costner meets his lethal and extremely hyped up nemesis played by Kim Coates.

The third comes in the form of Captain Malcolm Reynolds in FireFly

This programme was one of the finest to ever grace our screens and if you haven't seen it then do yourself a favour and watch it.

So there you have it, three of cinema's toughest characters ever committed to film.
