Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Okay, so I might have told some of you about a movie I saw when I was 7 years old. It was when I was at elementary school in South Africa. I was 7 years old and most of the kids in my class were 9-10 years old because my parents put me in 1st grade when I was 4 going on 5, but in South Africa you're not supposed to start 1st grade until you're 6 going on 7. But I could read and write better than all the other kids in my class and my parents were all "but British kids start school when they're 4 . . ." (yeah but in England the 4 year olds do stuff like painting and singing and nap time, not formal lessons). Anyway the point is that until we moved to England when I was 10 and they actually put me with kids my own age, I was always way younger than all the other kids in my class.

Anyway, I remember this one time when the afterschool/daycare I went to took all the kids to see a movie. The movie was SO SCARY and GAVE ME NIGHTMARES! For YEARS afterwards I never forgot this movie! I remember people being in a cave and a man had to choose a cup to drink out of. When he drank out of the cup it made him turn into a skeleton and he died. It was soooooo scary!!!!!! I was only 7 years old and I couldn't get it out of my head! Nearly 20 years later I still remember that scary movie and I always wondered what movie it was.

So anyway, at work I was telling my good friend Jason about this movie that I watched when I was 7 that gave me nightmares for years afterwards and he was like, "Are you talking about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?" and I was like, "I dunno, I've always wondered what that movie was." Jason had bought the Indiana Jones DVD box set so he lent it to me! I didn't want to watch all the boring action bits so I looked through the chapter menu and found the scene I remember which was pretty much right at the end. And I made screencaps! So now you all can see the movie which gave me nightmares when I was 7 years old!

It's rated PG-13 and in Sweden and Norway it's rated 15! What were they thinking taking little kids to see this movie?????? Even if the other kids were 9-10 years old.
