Round 3 Match 2

Spielberg Battle!
It's a battle of epic proportions, when Dr. Jones finds himself adrift on a raft with nothing but his wit and whip to defend himself from Jaws. The crossover event no one thought would ever happen can now play out here at ICON-O-CLASH! Grab some popcorn and vote!

The Spielberg Battle, heh?

I predict that Indiana makes for a bullwhip attack, but is caught off guard by spaceships landing beside War of the Worlds Tom Cruise and Minority Report Tom Cruise, and Jaws evades. Then Jaws sets up his attack run, but at the last minute is drafted to work in Oskar Schindler's factory, leaving Indy to claim the prize.

Jaws makes a comeback when he is changes his name to Private Ryan and is saved from interment. He approaches and gets ready for a surprise attack, but is devoured at the last minute by a velociraptor.

Cut the sun setting over the life raft, and cue up the John Williams soundtrack...
 
dah da-da-dah, dah da-dah vs. dah-duhm. "Snakes...Why did it have to be snakes" vs. "I think we're going to need a bigger boat." Over the top action adventure vs. understated suspense and horror.

This is definitely a fantastic battle. If I were to base my vote purely on the first movies I would have to vote Jaws because if given a choice of commercial laden Sunday afternoon flicks, I would choose the chum-loving fish. However, as an icon and franchise Indy takes the cake. They are even doing a new one.

So Mr. Jones for this win.
 
Indy all the way to the top!
 
Sharks are scary... Indiana Jones is cool...

Cool beats scary.
 
Jaws would have Indy for lunch.
 
Another tough contest. It hurts me to choose. Both easily identifiable icons. Both clever and strong. Both have iconic theme tunes. Indy has had a more successful film franchise. I do think that Jaws would give Indy a run for his money and might even, in the end, eat him.

Yikes. I'm flipping a tuppence coin on this one. Heads it is Indy, tails it is Jaws.

Jaws wins!
 
I was trying to decide which to throw my vote to, both have movies, both have catch phrases associated with them. Then i thought - oh Indy has a stunts show at Universal, but then i remembered - Jaws has a ride.
hmmm. Jaws was so terrifying - and my fear of sharks remains to this day, but Indy may be more iconic.
I vote for Indy
 
Granted if tossed in the water, Indy would be eaten in seconds.

But since I am land loving animal, Jaws dies in minutes due to lack of oxygen and those useless gills. (except today where he would last at least an hour due to the humidity)

Indy takes the prize.
