What has come to be known as "the Finger of Doom", in online circles, Harrison Ford's pointing fixation has pretty much found its way into every Harrison Ford movie under the sun over the course of his career. And once you start imagining him doing it, it's impossible to get it out of your head.

Yes, Ford's index finger is one of his secret weapons: whenever he needs to "get angry" with somebody, or threaten their livelihood, up comes that iconic finger. It'd be interesting to know what, exactly, inspired Ford to lift that finger up into the air in the first place - is this the result of some distant childhood memory, where an authoritative associate subjected Ford to endless finger-wagging rants? Maybe I'm getting a little too Freudian. Still, there's a strange, almost unexplainable delight to be found whenever that thing finds itself jabbing at somebody's face.

Finger of Doom, we salute you: may you forever point upwards.
