Author Topic: Proof Harrison Ford is only 4 feet tall: Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-06-2005 03:57 AM                        One need only to watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for blatant proof of Harrison Ford's real height of about 4 feet tall. Here's the proof: The headpiece to the staff of Ra indicates on one side the height of the staff shall be "six kadam high" or in our terms as: That means a "kadam" is pretty much equal to a foot. Now the kicker: So now we are down to 5 kadam/feet tall for the staff height (60 inches roughly). Look below: Notice the staff is at least a foot taller than Dr. Jones. PROOF beyond all doubt Harrison Ford is only a mere 4 feet tall! I noticed this more than 2 decades ago.

Oh, that's great!! I never made that connection. Good catch! Something I did wonder about, though. After 2,000 + yrs. and the sun crosses the exact same place in the sky, to hit a pinpoint opening/crystal at an exact angle? I'd think that would've been off enough to miss the mark (on the mapfloor) by a mile. But, on the other hand, I say what the hell and just play along..  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 10-06-2005 01:08 PM                        I cannot accept your evidence unless it is verified that I'm watching the correct aspect ratio, which would also require the correct anamorphic squeeze or stretch.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 10-06-2005 01:51 PM                        My artistic license is not valid in Texas (or in other states where taxed, spindled or mutilated.)

Mel Gibson is indeed short though about 5'2" which is considerably shorter than my 5'6" frame. When I first saw Mel during the dailies for Payback I had to do a double take but it was definately the Melster.....

Using all 550 seemed pointless. Mark, with Mr. Ford being only 4 feet tall and yet taller than you, I figure that puts you in the 3 foot-something range.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 10-08-2005 11:38 AM                 Oh good grief come on guys, it’s only a film, I just play along with it and it’s fantastic fun, but then again well spotted. Dr Wolff Jones…..LOL Hang on a second “-Size matters not-” hehehehe  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

That is true. I met Mark last year at ShoWest. He was indeed only about 3 feet or so short. Everyone was really nasty to him and kept pushing him, so I picked him up and set him down safely on the table. We have been friends since. He doesn't like it though when you refer to his size.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Guttags shoes very definately do not prevent foot odor!! Here Aaron is seen re-arranging the now stinky cheese plate just before Guttags arrival...... Perhaps the ole foot fungus added some sharp flavor to that plate.... I hope you washed your hands after touching that stuff Aaron!
