The most striking thing about watching the Indy films again is seeing how great they are and one quality is simple.....NO CGI!!!!
1. Stunt work, the truck chase, nothing like seeing the real thing
2. the Well of the Souls, if it were done today, it would be all computer-generated snakes, fake looking like "the Mummy"
3. the city in Tunisia that was made to look like 1930s Cairo, today it would be all CGI
4. The opening Paramount Mountain transfer, again it would be a CGI mountain today
5. The "Temple" bug scene
6. The "Crusade" rats
7. The "Temple" bridge scene,
8.The "Temple of Doom" itself, it was a great set with exceptional craftsmanship, again if it were done now, it would be exaggerated and ultimately look fake, like the pieces in Tomb Raider and that awful Mummy series
9. The giant boulder in Raiders, do you think Hollywood execs would actually take the time to build a giant boulder today and have the star do a dangerous stunt running from it?
10. The intro scene in Raiders, it looks great because it's shot believeably and works up in suspense, today it would be all overkill
All done without CGI!!! CGI is sterile!! If they do another Indy, no CGI!!
