TS: Han Solo v. Indiana Jones

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

OK I was going to post this to the Star Wars thread but after about 7 off-topic posts in a row I figured I'd just start a new thread. Seriously though, let's figure this out once and for all. Who is better? No rogues who are gonna be all like "But I really liked Harrison Ford best in Witness," because I mean yes, the whole scene where he punches a tourist, I know, but let's be reasonable people here. You have two choices and only two. If you even think about saying Jack Ryan I will personally come and kill you. Also girlfriends are irrelevent; everyone knows Karen Allen is hotter than Princess Leia but Princess Leia is totally hotter than the Nazi or Steven Spielberg's wife.

Quien es mas macho...Han Solo...o Indiana Jones...

i'm gonna go with han. isn't there like another indy movie in the worx? i like indiana but we named the dog that, etc.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Han Solo is a thinner character. Harrison Ford has said since 1983 that he'd never play him again.

however, hopefully the next Indy flick won't have Skeleta Flockhart as the female lead...

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

indy is sweatier plus stubble = mas macho

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Han totally dresses like an amazing person, he pwns everyone with the fact that he is so fashion. Indy fans are not taking this into account, how amazing the outfit is.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the next indy flick if it happens is gonna have him vs. aliens in roswell = BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. SHOOT FIRST INDY!

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

That hair is so hot.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

anyhow ONE IS A PIRATE THE OTHER IS A TEACHER WHO DO YOU THINK IS MAS MACHO???

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

allyzay you are wrong--han dresses like a spaz. indy has cool hat plus leather jacket.

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost - on his head or on his chest?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Han Solo is the Humphrey Bogart of the galaxy.

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

tho notice the drooping neckline on both pics. hmm...

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

If I saw a dude dressed like Han Solo, I'd have sex with him on the spot.

Well, theoretically. I mean nowadays if you see a dude dressed like Han Solo it means he's a total dorkpants and is going to keep bothering me to dress up like Princess Leia, which I haven't done since I was 4.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i manage the unkempt hair and the stubble but i never look nearly as cool.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

omg how cool would it be if in the next indy jones he goes to roswell and at the end he opens up the capsule or the ark of the martian or whatever and omg the alien IS HAN SOLO! they can do it with cgi - make it happen!

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i think you have BE han solo to dress like han solo--perhaps this is an argument in his favor

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

ally did you see the esquire with ewan mcgregor and his beltbuckle is shaped like han solo's pistol?

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

han had pretty lame friends excepting chewbacca

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

peter buck kinda rocked the han solo look for a lil while

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

o cmon who were indy's cool friends - short round and denholm elliot. YEAH SO COOL.

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

you know what? "I know." i think i change my vote. han wins.

(x-post: those guys were cool!)

man if old doddering english men were cool ilx would be fonzie's palace.

well they are sure as hell cooler than luke and leia!

Allyzay OTM--I'd get into those pirate pants ASAP

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

han's belt is helping him alot

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

One of my TAs kind of showed up once in reverse Han Solo pants, like the pants were tan with black stripes down the side, and lemme tell you, shit was hot.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd have to say Han based on the sheer explosion of female delight in the theater at his first appearance onscreen when the special edition of Star Wars ran back in 1997 -- it was like everyone was just waiting for him to appear, sliding casually into his seat and saying "Han Solo..."

Indy, meanwhile, has a different gravitas. He is mooned over and people write things on their eyelids about him instead.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

gross ned!

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I can only report as an observer.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Both were a bit less badass in the third of the series. Han spent a better part of it frozen or blind, Indy kept getting pwned by his dad. I don't really remember what either did in the second other than Han letting himself be stuck in the freezer, which is pretty noble. Han was more badass in the first than Indy was in his first. I'll go with Han.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

also, historical revisionism aside, HAN SHOT FIRST

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

dude han solo kicks ass in "empire" anthony! tontons! (or however they're spelled) shooting the imperial probe droid! saving luke from the big bad ice monster or something!

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

whereas indy in the second one helps a bunch of, uh, indians.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah! Forgot about the Tontons. More reason to vote for Han.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

As an observer when the original Star Wars came out, and I was oh 13 or 14 I think, I can report there was plenty of female slathering. And exploding. Thinking back, if I could have been in the pants of Peter Criss (Kiss' drummer) or Han Solo, Han won, hands down. I actually had this argument with a friend at the time. We debated for hours the pros and cons, and Han Solo came out on top of every rock star then contemporary.
That's some serious chick-magnet power.

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

he slices open da belly of the tonton so luke can live! what a guy!

the second indy movie has some of the best one-liners, tho it's a complete stinker dud of a movie.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:36 (twenty-one years ago)

"prepare to meet kali...in HELL!"

I'd like to think if they had made a movie where Han had a dad he would have been played by Walter Matthau, but I doubt it.

I haven't seen Temple Of Doom in years. All I remember is the gross shit that made them invent the PG-13 rating.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Much as I love Indiana Jones, I'm going with Han Solo. Dude is the bright spot in a dark and dorky universe, more than anyone else he seemed to understand the material was crap and played to it.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

temple of doom was on the tv the other day and of course i was COMPELLED to watch it despite seeing it a billion times and knowing it's crap.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

also raiders has good one liners and what not. third indy movie, not so much.

"asps, very dangerous"
"snakes, why'd it have to be SNAKES?"

No, nedery. ;-)

Be prepared for bullshit if you do. My most recent take on it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Han shot first vs. Indy shooting the dude with the fancy knife tricks.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:40 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah but in temple of doom he doesn't have his gun!

you know Temple Of Doom was Pauline Kael's favorite, but she liked how nonstop goofy it was. But she's not a fan of the series, she'd happily sacrifice awe and character for more goofy zip. Nonetheless I haven't bothered to see it since puberty.

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Indy is really disqualified for not always being the most badass person in each of the 3 movies. Sean stole the title in round 3, had to get his ass shot to give Indy a little hero time.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

haha last crusade is my fave too.

hey quick question about revenge of the shit (i'm seeing it tomorrow) - do we get to finally see a wookiee rip some arm off after getting beat at holochess?

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Best thing about the Indy series: recurring Nazi face-melts. When your movie melts a Nazi or two, you can't go wrong.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, seriously, that Star Wars Holiday Special is like a mind-melting experience. WTF is that scene where Dionne Warwick sings a sexy song at Chewie's dad? Or the 15 minute opening sequence that is nothing more than a bunch of unsubtitled wookies talking at each other? The greatest thing about it is how drunk and stoned the SW main folx look throughout.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I love when Leia's clinging to Chewy for dear life while singing some tone deaf Life Day carol and suddenly the Star Wars theme bursts out halfway in despite having a different rhythm and melody.

I got the dialogue wrong.

Han Solo: "Would you look at Lumpy! He's sure grown, huh? And I think his voice is changing."

Lumpy: "Arrgararrggaar!"

Han: "Come on, I'm just teasing."

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:54 (twenty-one years ago)

[Punches Indy]

Han Solo gets mad points for expressing as much emotion with the line "Don't sweat it, Princess" as Hayden Vader will attempt to express (but fail) in his entire movie career. Indy gets mad points for the scene where he shoots the dude with the sword rather than fight him.

I won the Indiana Jones DVD box set, but NOT the Star Wars DVD box set. I feel that is the asnwer.

Ford has a particularly great 'Indie' moment in ROTJ when he accidentally steps on the twig in the forest that gives away his sneaking behind the stormtrooper.

also
"..boring conversation anyway"
and
"would it help if I got out and pushed?"
"IT MIGHT!"
also
"WATCH THIS!"
"watch what?"
and
"Maybe you'd like to get back into your *cell* princess"
and
"I love you"
"I know"

I like how Leia returns that last one back at Han in the bunker scene on ROTJ.

"YES...your highnessness."

It's "your worshipfulness", actually.

Man, I don't know. Han never took his shirt off. Temple of Doom doesn't have much to recommend it, but it does at least have that. Sigh.

Still though, it's Han.

Oh, wait, someone already said that. Sorry Jimmy Mod.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 26 May 2005 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Han wins.

Only because I'm bitter that no history professor would ever look like Harrison Ford.

"YES...your highnessness."
It's "your worshipfulness", actually.

Please to refer to scene in Empire near the start where Leia and Han confront each other in the hallway.

Ned,

Please reconstruct said scene in full because I do not remember it. Also because it would amuse me to have you do so. Because I'm bored.

Many thanks,

Ahh.. did it end with...

Leia: "Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-lookin' nerf herder!"
Han: "Who's scruffy-lookin?"

Hurrah for amusement!

It's the scene right after he says to the one Rebel general at the Hoth base that he has to leave because of the price on his head and then he and Leia talk briefly and he goes, "So long, princess!" and leaves abruptly. Next thing you see is her charging out the door of the control room calling for Han and he stops, turns and says said line, v. diffidently.

I have no problem with 4 through 6 essentially being imprinted in my brain. This is what a childhood obsession is *for*. :-)

Roz -- no, that's the scene later where Luke is recovering in his sickbed and Leia later smooches him.

Riiiighht. Damn, I wanna see Empire again. It's my favourite but it's the one I've seen the least number of times because the video (ooh vei, VHS!) got ruined by my older brother.

― Roz (Roz), Thursday, 26 May 2005 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, I thank you for your commitment to my amusement.

I still do not remember that bit. Hmm. This requires further study. I must dig out my videos (yes, videos) of the pristine original Han-fires-first versions and watch them.

I better watch them all, just in case he says it again. Yes. I think that would prevent any further confusion on my part.

I couldn't even read this whole thread b/c I have to say: that picture of Han is so fucking hot it hurts me. The hair, the belt, the almost-inperceptible smirk! (This is, of course, tied in with longtime crush-from-childhood on Han, much stronger than Indy crush. Han is just, mm, cool.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 26 May 2005 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess most of the people on the thread know this, but the best thing about "I know" was that in the script it was "Just remember that, Leia, because I'll be back", but Harrison Ford wasn't sure he wanted to do a third film, so him and Irvin Kershner went over some possibilities, and eventually they just winged the scene, and Harrison adlibbed the line.

SOLO

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 26 May 2005 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Han. Although hearing Indy say "Ahhh Venice", smirk, and pull a girl to the floor pretty much ruined my expectations for sex forever.

I think it's official; the best thing about Star Wars was Han Solo. This is why the new ones all suck.

Random Guy: You'll freeze to death before you reach the first marker!

Han Solo: Then I'll see you in Hell!

in HELL!

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Luke: We've got to rescue the Princess!

Han: Jesus Christ, Luke! I mean, goddammit, you know?

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Han Solo: Then I'll see you in Hell!

The oddest thing about that line was that I always thought it was from the Indie films. He doesn't say it there as well does he? coz that would be mental.

HYDRO-spanners!
