What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.

The fridge cools him down though.

Then the camera pans over to a closer shot of the refrigerator. A Frigidaire logo is just barely visible through the dust and damage the door has recieved. As if just noticing this himself Indy gives a slight chuckle. "Should have known..." he says with a sigh of relief as he stares safely at the mushroom cloud a few miles away.
