I've talked with Eric Zala before about potentially showing "The Adaptation" at a film festival in Montreal so he may remember me (it was here at The Raven, actually, because he's a member). That said, how would his (or Chris') word be any more substantial than mine, chapter11/Josh's or any of the others who recall seeing it? (As JayDee already pointed out, they were shown the Blooper reel and not a Deleted Scenes reel.)

Just because it was a called a blooper reel by one person doesn't mean that it doesn't have other stuff. Also it may be relevant because those guys saw that reel in 2004, not back in the 80's. I'm not saying anyone's word is more valid than yours, your eggscelence. I just figured any backing, especially from someone who, who never mind. Good luck.

I've been re-reading my Complete Making of Indiana Jones again. I'm afraid to say that the scene in question was never filmed, just storyboarded. The reason given was that the Rube Goldberg-esque method was too difficult to film in one take. Though for some reason, there's shots of the pilot handing the co-pilot the pistol, so there were the ideals that the pilot and co-pilot were intended to shoot Indy, Shorty and Willie

yup, memories can be fake. Just not yours. The doubters are open to the idea they are wrong but you guys aren't.

Evidence. Yeah evidence would be great. Let's see some.
Sharkmeister, before you snap your jaws, provide evidence that it was NEVER filmed.:gun:

Fair enough because it does have other stuff besides bloopers (the Streisand whipping clip + Harrison/Spielberg acting out the 'nocturnal activities' scene in "Doom"). That said (as far as I'm aware), other stuff in the Amblin blooper/gag reel also includes NON-Indy stuff. The thing isn't exclusively related to Indy. (See this thread: Blooper reels.)

True. Who knows what Eric & Chris were shown privately. You should ask them, Indy's bro'! Good luck!:whip:

There is *1* production sketch in the book. Where are the storyboards? (Storyboards & production sketches are different things.) You say that the egg scene was never filmed. How do you know for sure?

Unicorn, where did you read this?:confused: Please specify the page #.:whip:

Part of the proof, dude...;)

Proof positive.

What does J.W. Rinzler say?

This is fun. I like it. Time to stir the pot!

Matt deMille said:
That hasn't changed, Stoo. I'd still like proof. But proof is more than a Google search. Proof requires due-diligence, time, corroboration and confirmation. I was willing to give that time. Others weren't.

My accepting of the quick-answer from the con-side wouldn't be any more reasonable than you accepting the pro-UFO take from a few internet links. You clearly won't accept that. Why should I settle for anything less?

Matt deMille said:
That is indeed a better way to say it. "Absence of evidence is not proof of absence". I like that much better. Agreed.


Matt deMille said:
Will do. But that may take a long time. After all, we're talking about looking through a lot of accounts. I don't want to just take the top Google searches and be done with it.


Matt deMille said:
For Stoo . . . Bottom line: Years of counseling with a dozen doctors only ended with the same, unanimous conclusion: This isn't a fantasy, I'm not making it up, my story comes from memory, the emotional responses to the trauma are real, and certainly the exploding lights and computers are real too.


Now...the periscope scene, the ToD whipping*, the ellusive egg, the artifacts pulled from the Peruvian Temple...

Someone get us screenshots.

ToD whipping is somewhere here and I'm too lazy to link it, so consider that 1 outta 4. Get cracking treasure hunters.

Sharkey, you are behaving like a loser.:D (You must be egging me on to post the proof. Don't worry, you'll get it...in good time...)

The Rube-Goldberg-type scene was never in "Doom" but that doesn't discount people seeing the egg drop into Indy's hand.:rolleyes:

Rinzler says a hell of a lot more than that. Can you read? PLEASE, TRY AGAIN!:whip:

I'm totally egging you on to post proof Mr deMille!

Your talent for coloring and names doesn't make you right.

If I have to assume anything its that Rinzler would have mentioned any scene involving an egg when he put together the making of book and these promo articles.

He made mention of Sallah's execution, Belloq not getting away with the idol but nothing about an egg. What you see is what you get and if you have anything showing the opposite I suggest you hatch it before it spoils.

But you don't do you?

Maybe it's because people saw it? What purpose would it serve for people to invent this memory (at different times on different forums)? Like JuniorJones said above in this thread, "These people have real memories, how can they not be true."

I feel there maybe a subtext you missed to my post...

I like the fact that you're egging them on.

From sitting on the fence on this one, I'm actually falling for the jaw-jaw of Sharkey. While Stewie has a high reputation for Indy accuracy and intuition, this may be one claim too far. That giant chicken may have messed with quite a few memories over the years.

Knowledge of the egg reality may be hard to come by, so this will probably have to reside in the pile marked, 'Possible due to lack of hard evidence to the contrary'. And I don't think we can trust the beards here, as they both have selective memories prone to revisionism.

Pale, you do realize that you're asking for too much, too early, don't you?:whip:

Are you serious? The whipping scene can be EASILY be found here: Blooper reels. Post #40. I also posted an image FROM THE FILM where Indy can be see lashed to the pericsope in "Raiders" (post #7): The Submarine: U-26 Wurrfler

So that's 2 out of 4. (The bit about extra Peruvian artifacts, I have no clue.)

Rinzler did mention it so you either have a poor memory or you don't know how to read. Go CLUCK yourself, Sharkey-boy!:p

Perhaps, JJ...Are you an egg-doubter, too, then?:confused:

The doubters DEMAND proof before they are willing to believe. Can you folks at least wait until JayDee receives his DVD? Really, you guys cannot wait?...or do you require IMMEDIATE INTRANETSES gratification?

Sorry, Wilhelm, but NO. You're suggesting that all the separate witnesses collectively transplanted a scene from "The Goonies" into their earliest memories of "Temple of Doom"? Don't think so...:rolleyes:

Well, it's no so strange. In fact I always thought that the Rube Goldberg egg scene was later re-used in "The Goonies":

Obviously is the same idea. Maybe people remembered seeing in cinemas a complicated scene with an egg, and mixed that with Short Round appearing in both movies and the proximity of the releases (1984 Temple, 1985 Goonies).

I think they filmed only Indy catching the egg without the complicated mechanism (Later used in Goonies) but that was deleted and never seen.

Add it* to your list if you really want to...but it has no bearing on the validity of the egg scene. :whip:

*"U.S. LOGO" (whatever that is supposed to mean) Let's continue this in the appropriate thread...

The idea might have been re-used later in another Spielberg film...but I've never fully seen "The Goonies" because it's such garbage.:sick: (Therefore, your theory has no substance.)

It appears that you haven't paid enough attention to this conversation before commenting. How old were you in 1984 and did you see "Doom" in the theatres?:confused:

It's all just liguistic shell games, until someone provides visual proof.

If we approach the Adaptation guys, we should request everything they can recall from the blooper reels.
If their content is common knowledge, more people will want them on the blu-rays.

Indy cathes the date in ROTLA

So to my understanding there is a Kyrgyzstan novelization of ROTLA where Indy tosses the date in the air but sees the dead monkey out of the corner of his eye and immediately catches it in his hand resulting in him saying "Bad Dates"




Can anyone shed some light on the matter stated above?
