Raiders of the Lost Ark/Awesome

• Indy just shooting the Egyptian swordsman who had just challenged him to a fight. Possibly the most famous Throw It In in the history of cinema, and a defining moment for the character.
• The Lord lets the Nazis know just what He thinks of the National Socialist agenda. And THAT, folks, is why you don't take the Ark of the Covenant lightly. The moment in all its brilliance can be seen here.
  • And not just frying the Nazi soldiers and melting the leaders' faces when they open the Ark, either. Earlier there's the scene with the Ark in a box with the Nazi swastika on it. The Nazi emblem (not to be confused with the original Hindu-Buddhist swastika) gets burned off from inside the box. God's personalized Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin to the Third Reich.
• Indy retakes the Ark from an entire platoon of Nazi troops singlehandedly, showing us all just how potent the Indy Ploy really can be.
  • We must elaborate, Indy is literally thrown under a bus! No seriously. And they STILL can't stop him!!! Indiana Jones is a Colonel Badass, just not a Colonel.
    • He did become one during WWII for the OSS.
• The awesome fist fight with a guy twice his sized in front of a rotating plane.
• The villains are getting away in a submarine! What now? Swim to the sub and climb aboard, obviously. Blatant use of the Rule of Cool, of course, because the hatch was already closed (so Indy can't get inside without being noticed), there's no room to hide inside a U-boat anyway, and he obviously can't just cling to the hull all the way through the Mediterranean. Still really, really awesome.
  • A deleted scene showed him holding on to the periscope.
• Question: What do you do when you try to steal a Nazi uniform but it's the wrong size?
  Answer: You knock out the Nazi guard berating you for being drunk with one punch and take his uniform.
• Marion drinking Belloq under the table. Sure, Toht showing up renders it moot, but it's still awesome.
