Harrison Ford On Lucas's Crazy Indiana Jones 5 Idea

Does anyone ever wonder what happened to Short Round from Temple of Doom? Bring him back in the 5th. "You abandon me Doctah Jones! Now you pay, you pay!" Could be funny and you know that Data kid needs the work.

@Joan
don't you mean "Y tu Spielberg?"

good article by the way.
but i actually liked the 4th Indy film with the forgettable title.

The funny thing is, I think one thing that made the 4th Indie feel hollow was that they avoided the topic the original 3 had been about; Religion.

No, I'm not going off on a christianesse rant or something, but think of it. Each film dealt with the quest for a religious artifact, and since spiritual, religious, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, agnostic, or atheist, or a believer that all paths lead to god, whatever we believe now, almost all of us had exposure to one religion or another growing up. Because of that those movies did strike some form of cord from that. It instills a sense of wonder in a way a feeling of nostalgia or harkened back to an age where you really believed in things.

Judaism, Hinduism, and Christianity have been dealt with and I guess Crystal Skull was an attempt at a version of the new age movement maybe? I don't know. Where any aliens names Xenu on board the ship at the end? This leaves a couple major religions left Buddhism and Islam. I have no doubt however they will not touch Islam with a ten foot pole, just due to the touchy nature of the subject and if one little note is put out of place the PC crowd would scream foul from on high. Forget the fact that “Temple,” really mauled the Hindi traditions, and none of them paid very close attention to the religion in them or let it interfere with the story, the same trick wouldn't fly in this day and age.

In the end I think without the sense of wonderment or quest in a physical or spiritual sense Indie will continue to ring hollow, but I think the day in which rightly or wrongly people were relaxed enough to allow someone beliefs to be edited or rearranged for the screen to make a better story are gone as well. In the end I think Indie may have outlived his era, and man, am I sad to say that.

i would pay as much money as it cost to sit down with george lucas for an hour or two and just hear the things that he thinks are 'cool'...
the list would probably end up being something like this:
1- Aliens
2- The Politics of aliens
3- Motorcycles
4- Cartoon Bears
5- The Jungle
6- pissing people off
7- The 60's
8- Steven Spielberg's beard
9- His own beard
10- 'Lisa Frank' stuff
11- Harrison Ford

@Myth I'm with you I liked the 4th film.

I really want to see a 5th. I love the Jones films. I think the lost city of Atantis would be awesome and just clone the holy grail saga. If they want Shilo to pick up the reins I think he needs to work on his character a bit. There are no greaser archeologists through out the history of time...

I enjoyed the 4th movie i cant believe how much money it made but id be on board to see a 5th just make it the last one ya cant have shia playing indy in a 6th one no way
