Jim Robinson from Neighbours is in it...Sold!!!!!

[Omaroo]

Alan Dale is certainly getting airtime in the USA lately.

Haven't ever seen him in Neighbours though...

[Glenhuon]

Jim Who?
Oh, Neighbours that TV show, thought that had died a natural, and well deserved death several years ago.;) See what ya miss when you turn away from TV permanently :D

Looking forward to the new Indy film though :)

Yep, it looks like a good old action adventure.

There has been a real lack of them lately.

Cheers

Gomer Pile ? :eyepop:

Sorry couldn't resist.

I watched the Last Crusade the other night, what a great entertaining action flick. A no brainer to sit and watch and enjoy.

I'm looking forward to the next one, but I hazard a guess that there won't be too many close-ups of ol' harrison in the stunt scenes :)

[CoombellKid]

They must of done a lot of CGI to work to mask Harrisons walking frame :whistle:
But I soppose CGI will help make him look trim, taught and teriffic.

It's about time for another good Indiana Jones movie

regards,CS

[tnbk00]

Brings to mind the Southpark episode where they remade Indiana Jones with walkie talkies instead of weapons........this could end badly....

[wavelandscott]

I look forward to seeing it!

I was a fan of the earlier movies...I hope to a fan of this one too...

As a native of Indiana, anything with Jim Neighbors (also from Indiana) is high on my list to see! The Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle are two of my all time favorite TV shows...

And yes, I know the Jim Neighbor thing was only a joke...but I still want to see the movie.

[jjjnettie]

Quit picking on Harrison Ford!!!:mad2:
He's still as dreamy as ever. Men are lucky, they get better with age, just like good wine. Youz is just jealous.
Hmmmm Harrison Ford.:love:

[dugnsuz]

Where can I lay my hands on some of this "CGI"!!???
Is there a local distributor!!!????:P:lol:

[CoombellKid]

Your probably right, and as a young lad... Farrah Fawcett :D

regards,CS

[Ric]

Tanya Roberts for me Rob:P

I can still remember her as Princess Kiri in the Beastmaster movie and yes I've got the DVD;)

Cheers

[GrahamL]

Jodie Foster .. we are the same age .. but bat for differant teams :(

[Ian Robinson]

Gotta be better than the rest of the rubbish on at the pictures of late.... IAJs were always a good flick.

[Omaroo]

Anyone else seen this yet? Asterisk (Geoff), his wife, my wife and I all went to see this flick last night at our local Gold Club cinema. We all had a ball!

What a hoot. Very well done - and it leaves nothing to be desired if you enjoyed the previous editions. The effects were splendid, and there were plenty of tunnels, bugs, spider webs, poison darts, stone walls, doors and traps, whips, car chases, explosions and other-wordly effects to keep even the most demanding Jones-o-phile more than happy. The same trumpety theme music soared. The villains are great - how could Blanchett not be?

Harrison really has kept his age hidden well. He appears fit and not quite the 64 or so which he is in real life. He must drink lots of formaldehyde or something.

A thoroughly-enjoyable spectacle! Recommended!

[Ric]

Thanks for the quick review Chris, certainly sounds like a classic Indiana Jones. I'll definitely have to catch it on the big screen before the season closes.

Cheers

[iceman]

I wanted to see it weeks ago but we've struggled to get a babysitter on the night when our free tickets can be used :(

By the time we get to go, the tickets will be expired and Indiana won't be showing.

[Glenhuon]

I can wait till it comes out on DVD, no cinema here. Just got Bladerunner out, another great Harrison movie :)

[South Poll]

Hi all. Saw this last week here in Welly (with great anticipation as had worked on some props for it) and must say the FIRST act was GREAT! 100% Indy.....but found the second and particularly the third went a little off track for me :shrug:. Not really sure about the whole ***** thing (can't say as will spoil for those who've not viewed!)

Raiders and Crusade still the best.

...and yes, I'm sure I caught a glimpse of a zimmer-frame in a couple of shots! :lol: btw...that HAT has lasted remarkably well don't you think.:eyepop:

[reddiablo]

I saw it the other day and the Mrs and I thought it was a perfect popcorn movie.

Don't think just watch and you will enjoy the standard Indy formula.

Impossible escapes, cannon fodder bad guy henchmen, evil bad guys who get their..............


Sorry I don't want to give to much away;);)

[asterisk]

I thoroughly agree with the above. An excellent, entertaining and enjoyable movie. I was expecting a bit less given Harrison's age (born 1942), but was not let down. We had a great night.
