Heh. I don't remember Matthew Broderick swinging through the trees...

Regarding the fridge - it would have been fine if the fridge didn't bounce and bounce and bounce, rendering a more human Indy into a blood and bones milkshake. I felt the exact same way when we saw Superman Returns and Lois survives serious plane turbulence being knocked around the cabin like a pinball, then an actual plane crash landing sans seatbelt or anything else, all with only a few bumps (I don't think she even bruised). Good thing seatbelts and oxygen masks are totally unnecessary. Stupid.

I'm going to start using "nuked the fridge", and I hope it lasts.

I don't mind that so much except that it was so, uh un-thrilling. Consider the abuse "Ash" was put through in Raimi's Evil Dead II -- he was beat up in a hundred different ways but kept on getting up for more and you never once questioned it because it was so cleverly done. The Indiana Jones ice box scene had all of the abuse but none of the fun. Why not include a shot of Indy inside the fridge being bounced around? If there is another Indy movie hand it over to Sam -- that guy knows cartoon action. Spielberg did a great job with Minority Report but he really dropped the ball with the new Indy.
