"Nuke the fridge" is a colloquialism used to refer to the moment in a film series that is so incredible that it lessens the excitement of subsequent scenes that rely on more understated action or suspense, and it becomes apparent that a certain installment is not as good as (a) previous installment(s), due to ridiculous or low quality storylines, events or characters. It is a cinematic equivalent to "Jump the shark".
Which movie series does this phrase come from?
Answer: It's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and the phrase refers to the incident in which he saves himself from a nuclear bomb blast by hiding inside a fridge. After being flung 100 feet in the air, he opens the fridge door and WALKS OUT.
