Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 F**k yeah. I do agree it's the least good movie of the series, I just DISagree that it's some kind of abomination unworthy of or inconsistent with the rest of the movies. I happily count it as "canon" or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Watching Bridge of Spies just made me think how cool it would've been seeing Indy caught up behind enemy lines in Russia during the Cold War (albeit with much more action). The snowy surrounds would be a fresh locale for the series and more suited to Kaminski's cold visuals. Jungles and deserts are repetitive and a weird juxtaposition with Old Indy. Give him the fedora, a trenchcoat, add some film-noir visuals and send him to Russia to uncover a Soviet plot. Part of the adventure in the original films was the tension of Indy going to dangerous locations facing death at every turn. Breaking into the Well of Souls, watching a ritual sacrifice in the Temple of Doom, going into Germany during the Nazi occupation. Nothing in KOTCS comes close to any of this. The Russians are never remotely threatening and the Crystal Skull protects them from any danger in the jungle. Geez, the tension is palpable.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm calling it now: Indy 5 will be set mostly in east Asia, probably China. There's plenty of potential for cool "archaeological" stories there and every blockbuster franchise these days is trying to appeal to the Chinese market.

If not, it would be nice to see him as a Professor in the field for a change. The post-teaser College scenes are pretty formulaic at this point. Mix it up!

Perhaps they should try to change the concept by making Indy the bad guy and ASIO the heroes who try to stop a grave robber. ASIO member:"Significant historical finds looting archaeologists. I hate these guys." Indy: "It belongs in a museum! In Marshall College museum and they'll pay handsomely to me for procuring it!" ASIO crew:" You do know it is Australian property mate?" Indy: It belongs in a museum! *wheels away on his squeaky wheelchair at a snail pace* ASIO crew:"Oh lordy! Let's give him a headstart so he can at least feel he has a chance to get away."

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How about Indiana Jones and the Shaman's Drum Indiana Jones has to travel to the frozen northern reaches of Finland to find the legendary shaman's drum of incredible power that is said to be able to foretell the future. On his way he has to fight belligerent drunken Finns, Soviet Russian agents and frightened Swedish skiers who have accidentally strayed over the Sweden-Finland border into the wild Lapland. At the end of the quest awaits a final climactic battle with the evil shaman lord himself, who will not part with his drum! Indy is reunited with his old flame Willie Scott who has been performing at Helsinki night clubs and things get complicated when jealous Marion follows the famed archaeologist on this arduous journey. Irina Spalko's twin sister Svetlana is also entangled in all of this! So Indy watch out of fast ladies and slow cars, you're in for a ride! crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crumbs 14,316 Posted March 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2016 I watched a fascinating documentary on Discovery last night. A reporter was searching for, wait for it, the Holy Foreskin! That's right, the flesh of Jesus Christ himself, which actually had a fascinating journey over the millennia, spanning dynasties before mysteriously disappearing last century. Obviously they'd never use that as a legitimate McGuffin but it reiterated how fascinating religious artifacts are. Some of the scenery in those historic European villages was almost custom-made for Indiana Jones. If the next film is just another production designer's showreel of backlot sets, the film's as doomed as KOTCS.
