CHASED...BY A BOULDER! - card #12

Card set - Raiders of the Lost Ark by Topps, 1981

The beginning to this movie only got better and better didn't it? I mean, first we had spooky caves, some booby traps, a golden idol, more booby traps...and now a giant boulder coming at Indy out of no where.

Now we all knew that he wasn't going to die, as it was only the beginning of the movie. But like every Batman episode, it was about him getting cut in half, it was more how he escaped. And in this scene we have one of Indy's best ever escapes.

What's Topps about this card?

1. It's giant boulder!

2. Again (re: the previous post ), this scene was taken from an old Donald Duck comic featuring Scrooge McDuck.

3. Just imagine if Indy didn't make it...the film franchise wouldn't have happened....that heavens for fiction!

Removing the Idol - card #10

Raiders of the Lost Ark movie card set by Topps

Here we have the famous scene where Indy swaps the golden idol with a bag of sand. Of course he had to disgard some sand to get the weight just right so as not to cause all manner of booby traps. But that didn't quite turn out the way it was meant to go.

What's Topps about this card?

1. One of the great scenes in film history

2. As mentioned in a previous post...this scene taken from a Donald Duck comic in the 1950's...so that's really Uncle Scrooge McDuck there

3. Of course, what happens next is the cue for the next great scene in film history

Valley of Mystery - card #6

Raiders of the Lost Ark movie card set released my Topps in 1981.

First of the action cards for this set...

There are not too many movie opening sequences that still draw an audience in...even after watching it 10 times or more.
