Indiana Jones: TOD

[Zaxxon]

Watched it last night. That is now my number one worst film ever.
I cannot believe how that shmaltzy, dreadfull film made it past the cutting room floor.

Everything was horrific, the female co star overacted beyond belief, Harrison Ford looked punch drunk, probably shocked at how bad the film was. The baddy was laughable and the rollercoaster / mine cart scene was dire.

Pretty sure he had Dyssentry whilst filming.

Talk about unlucky!

He had that while filming Raiders too.

I watched it last night for the first time in ages and I'd forgotten just how st it is. The woman the and kid who follow Indy round like a bad smell have to be two of the most annoying characters in film ever.

An award normally given to Dakota Fanning's character in the Spielberg War Of The Worlds.

Ah yes, the 'Jar-Jar Binks Award for most irritating fker in a Movie'

Ok so it's the weakest of the original trilogy, but your worst film ever? I think you need to watch the likes of The Room, Mortal Kombat Annihilation or Robocop 3 to see what a real bad bit of film making is

I was quite excited when they were dropping her into the firey pit of death as I thought she'd finally shut up...... but no

Quite. I like it, and it is the darkest of the original three as well. I loved it when I was younger and am having an Indy weekend watching the first two
I used to be in the Lucasfilm fan club where we got lots of stuff aboot Star Wars and Indy films. Still have my TOD sew on badge

[soad]

Been absolutely ages since I've watched it, thought it was okay - hardly all that but okay.

I think it's alright too.

Certainly nowhere near the worst film ever.

I'd watch TOD a dozen times to avoid having to try and sit through Zombie King and the Legion of Doom again.

For example.

The missus wasn't impressed when I geekily pointed out the Obi-Wan club.

Basically all these films seem bad because you first watched them aged about 8, loved them, then you watch it 20 years later and they just seem corny and cheesy.

Because they are.

But an 8 year old nowadays will still love them.


see; Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Ghostbusters, etc

They didn't exactly up the game with the Crystal Skull though did they!

[P-Jay]

Glad I didn't have the time to watch it now

The 3 first Indy films, Starwars and back to the future make up as much as my childhood as Raleigh Burners, Addidas Tracksuits and Fruit Salad sweets.

They say don't meet your heros, but if I watched it again and thought it was st I'd be honestly upset.

As for Starwars not being any good now you're not 8, sorry, but that's nonsense showed it to my 5-year-old for the first time this Christmas and it's still a bloody amazing film, we both loved it.

He didn't stop asking questions "who's he? Why is that happening? Where are they going? Are they robots or people?" etc etc which is a surefire way of know when a 5-year-old is really enjoying something.

I tried to watch Return Of The Jedi with my son recently, when he was three.

I thought he'd like the Ewoks, but we didn't get past the Tatooine intro before he was shouting for it to be turned off because he "didn't like the naughty men!!"

Three's not eight though, I realise. Or even five.

I well fancied her when she was in that film about dreams that I've mostly forgotten.

Dennis Quaid in it as well, possibly?

Indy films aren't corny or cheesy.
