I can't think of any... can you?

Udvarnoky said:Nope. I also can't think of a series better suited to breaking new ground in the action/adventure genre than this one.
Darth Vile said:Something to aspire to perhaps...
...but not very likely given that KOTCS didn't look to break any new ground.
Darth Vile said:I'd be happy with an Indy V that wasn't specifically designed to appeal to mass audiences, but instead tried to re-invent itself, addressed Indy's age a la Unforgiven, The Shootist etc. but I think Lucas, Spielberg and Ford will always naturally gravitate to a more populist vision of their creation. I definitely think there is potential for another really good quality Indy movie with Ford in role... I just think the opportunity has gone for something that can dig much deeper whilst generating mass appeal in the same way the originals did.
Montana Smith said:It would be a worthy aspiration.
And yes, to me KOTCS looked comfortable with going tiredly over old ground.
Yes, yes, and yes.
The alternative to such a concept is a horror show that will have even more of us putting our faces into our palms in disbelief.
All we realistically have left is places like this in which to imagine a better future, which we are most unlikely to see produced by the beards.
Darth Vile said:I think it's highly likely that if Indy V gets made soon, it has a good chance of being a better pitched, more self-assured movie than KOTCS was... if only for the fact that Lucas/Spielberg may find more of a natural groove after testing the water with 'Skull'. I still doubt very much it will be a ground breaker though.

No Ticket said:They need to address his age, but not dampen his spirit. Indy doesn't go looking for trouble, it just finds him... he wouldn't actively fight people at his age if he didn't really have to.
No Ticket said:Like with the Nazi mechanice... The same way he couldn't REALLY hurt him, he got lucky. I think that's the kind of thing an old Indy would run into. He would have to use his wits to try and stop them... he would TRY to use his brawn but obviously he's getting too old for it... and in the end he'd just freaking get lucky. They could make it both humorous and more honest.
Indy's brother said:Like the entire warehouse bit? Drug there against his will, getting lucky when his chips were down with the rocket sled? These things were done in KOTCS, but they had gone just past believability. With some of the acrobatic stunts, and of course, the fridge was handled badly. I think the fridge actually might have worked with a few small touches. Anyway, I think that you are right, but that what you are describing is a longing for a hair more of a realistic touch. That's all that's needed to get Indy back on the rails for his age, and to return to form. All it would take is a bit of restraint from GL and SS, really.

Montana Smith said:Restraint doesn't seem to be in George's vocabulary, and Steven can't or won't put the brakes on.
Montana Smith said:I don't know how George could put his mind to a more "realistic" Indiana Jones after successively adding more extreme scenes to the movies.

I got a bad feeling about this...
