Some disappointed Indiana Jones fans used the term "nuking the fridge", a reference to the scene in which Jones survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a refrigerator, to denote the point when a franchise crosses into the absurd, similar to "jumping the shark". This phrase has appeared across the internet,[143] and was chosen as #5 on Time magazine's list of "top ten buzzwords" of 2008.[144] Asked about the scene and phrase, Spielberg said: "Blame me. Don't blame George. That was my silly idea … I'm proud of that. I'm glad I was able to bring that into popular culture."[145] Lucas denied this, saying Spielberg was "protecting him". According to Lucas, he had assembled a dossier of research data to convince Spielberg; Lucas stated that his research claimed the odds of surviving in the refrigerator are about "50-50."[146]

I saw this film and despite Lucas using a real nuclear weapon (supplied by Mandela via Israel) on set Harrison Ford's stunt actor came away with little but a few bruises. Seems completely plausible

God i hate wikipedia. WHY are the editors there obsessed with neologisms, phrases and terms at the expense of substance and rigor?
