If Indy 4 arrives in theaters in the summer of 2005 (which all signs seem to currently point to) then there will have been a 16 year gap between Last Crusade (1989) and Indy 4 (2005). Consider these other film franchises for a moment: Godfather III (1990) was released 16 years after part II (1974) and is widely considered the weakest of that trilogy. The Phantom Menace (1999) was released 16 years after Return of the Jedi (1983) and is widely considered the weakest Star Wars Film.
Is this 16 year trend a bad omen for Indy 4? If nothing else, you must admit that it is remarkable that each of these major film franchises has a 16 year gap between films!
