JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This set should be no more than 39.99 and they should pay us to take a blu ray copy of KOTCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I agree with you. $50 seems about right for this. I disagree with including KOTCS when it's been available for years on its own. Most people would already have it if they wanted it? This is some serious Lucas bullshit, just like when you had to buy the prequels to get all the OT special features. I still haven't watched any of them. But we gotta do what we gotta do.

Delorean90 42 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I really hope there are deleted scenes with this one. I'm really curious to see the original cut of the ark opening scene, which doesn't actually get discussed much as a shortened scene. Also stuff like the German soldier ordered to execute Sallah, some fairly significant missing footage from TOD, and the flying ace scene from LC. I'm pretty sure the scene with Short Round witnessing the Thugee getting burned (and waking from the Black Sleep) was shot, as was footage of the children escaping across a bridge that burns up after they cross, but does anyone know if the scene of Indy (under the Black Sleep) confronting Willie in her room was ever shot? That would be something to see. Speaking of Young Indy, I'd love to see that series get a Blu-Ray release in the manner of Star Trek: TNG--that is, going back to the original film and reconstructing it from that source. We've got some old VHS releases of the trilogy that have a preview for Young Indiana Jones. It features some alternate takes, and is clearly from before they edited it on tape. It's got a fantastic aesthetic, and it would be great to see a full-blown restoration like TNG is getting. Not terribly likely, but it would be excellent, especially if we could get the original episodes with Old Indy bookends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Not isolated I don't think. I'm pretty sure what we've got are snippets in BTS footage--the documentary on the DVD box set has a brief shot of them shooting the deleted scene from LC where Indy confronts the Gestapo officer in the zeppelin (another sequence I'd love to have, BTW--I'd really like to see how "No Ticket!" fits with everything).

It had 17 years to get it right and the only thing that really worked was the chemistry between Ford and Allen, and John's score. And it is a worse film than Real Steel and no matter if you liked or dislike that movie, it could never be as disappointing as KOTCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've posted it in the general Blu-ray thread, but I guess it's more properly here:Indy Blu-ray boxset coming on September 18th:http://www.ign.com/a...e-and-pre-orderRaiders has been fully restored in 4K and it will feature a brand-new sound mix supervised by Ben Burtt:"The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision.

indy4 155 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I wonder why they used that picture of INdy with a tarantula, since it wasn't in any of the films (I think it was a deleted scene from LC)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I believe it is a deleted scene from LC. I have the children's book "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Storybook" by Anne Digby (1989) at my parents' house to TLC, and it contains several photos and bits of dialogue that aren't in the movie. Perhaps the authors had access to an early draft of the script.One photo is of the spider crawling up Indy's shirt, because he didn't show such fear at the tarantulas on him in Raiders.Other comments include Elsa remarking to Indy on why she was such a good swimmer -- she had competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Another conversation occurs between Indy's climb out of the cliff and their ride into the Canyon of the Crescent Moon -- Henry Sr. assigns them all names of original crusade knights. I cannot remember any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ah, thanks for the info. I seem to recall hearing the spider scene was an additional challenge that Indy had to face before he got the Grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 While I don't have access to most of my books at present, I think that the spider actually came out from underneath the IEHOVA stepstones in the original script. It's still in the novelization version, I believe, and also mentioned in some of the non-fiction indy books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
