You go with your big bad bazooka Indy baby! Looks about as good as the rocket launcher in Raiders. Can't wait to see what he's going to totally waste with that puppy!

By the Lego sets, My vote is that rocket coming to rest in the Jungle Cutter. And maybe taking out Dovchenko.

Herr Doctor, I can't tell if you're being serious, but surely you could consolidate your nitpicks to one jovially jarring reply, no? Concision for the win? Or bandwidth for banter? :hat:

The photo looks fantastic, great to see Marion in action.

I think we made our point. Just a bit o fun. Seriously though, I love the way people on an internet message board are pointing out how the creators of the character and original movies haven't got it right and are proffering up their photo-shopped improvements lol. I know it's not meant seriously and is all in good spirit but I don't even think the prequel spoiler wars ever got as nitpicky as this lol!

Just for my own curiousity, how old are people on here? I'm 31 and grew up with the films as a young kid so I love them all. I think Raiders is the best but I still love all of them. I don't share the disappointment some have for TOD or LC because at the age I fell in love with them I wasn't looking to pick apart their flaws, or I wasn't expecting anything other than Indy, action, humour and thrills and they delivered in spades for me. Just wondering if it's an age thing or a taste thing...

Am I the only person who doesnt find Natalie Portman remotely attractive? She just doesn't do it for me.

I can see her not being your favorite, but "not remotely attractive"? Oh please...I don't go gaga over her or anything, but she's a classic girl-next-door beauty. I don't see how you'd get away with saying she's not at all attractive.

Do you find Jessica Alba attractive? I think she's a bad actress, but face-meltingly cute. :dead:

Hmm, those bolts on the truck--are those zinc-oxide fluted metric hex nuts? Utterly preposterous. I hate it. Somebody authenticate those with a genuine Russian truck photo before I knock my own teeth out with my stapler.

I'm 29 (turn 30 later this year) and grew up on the Indy films. My parents say they took me to see ROTLA at the drive-in, but I have no memory of it, though I do recall seeing TOD and LC in the theater. RAIDERS is my favorite movie of all time, and Indiana Jones is probably my most favorite film series. I'm eagerly anticipating KOTCS more than any other movie. :)

As for the new pic, I love it! Indy with an RPG! Freakin' sweat!! (y) :whip:

You're not the only one. I find her extremely bland, lookswise and actingwise, and am very grateful the rumor of her playing Indy's daughter was ultimately squashed.

Its been over 25 years since we've seen Indy with an RPG/Bazooka threatening someone.... Now we might actually see him fire it!

Woo hoo!

Looks like fun times in the jungle!

Interesting photo.. I wonder if this jungle truck sequence will be the Truck Chase/Mine Car/Tank Chase of KOTCS.

Any male who does not find the above female attractive is burdened by their own tastes.:p :p :p

No i do not find Natalie at all attractive. Nat to me is too skinny and her personality just doesnt do it for me. Same goes to Jessica Alba, she doesn't appeal to me. I do have a crush on Jennifer Connely tho. And this new Bond girl is stunning.

Also Im 21 and find all 3 movies very entertaining. A perfect mix of action and humor with a production value second to none.

I love watching my 80's uncut taped off of TV VHS of Raiders more then any DVD you could try to give me. Its even got those little static lines in the perfect places, like one that rolls over right when the cairo swordsman appears and again at the end when there boxing up the ark. It gives it a Tarantino Grindhouse sort of feel. And since it was met to be a B-Movie, this to me is the only way to watch it.

Shes all done up there and wearing a ton of make-up. She looks like that 2-3 days a year for red carpet. I like a girl who is naturaly beautiful. For example in Casino Royale, i thought Eva looked best in that bathroom scene where she took off her makeup. To each his own.

Natalie and Jessica Alba... two very bland, talentless actresses. Attractive? Not in my eye.

You know what, I've been noticing the truck's steering wheel and just realized its large size is inconsistent with standard issue Soviet supply trucks from 1957. It should be .45 times smaller.

I wonder how Indy will fire it. He can't simply just point it out the back of the truck, because the backfire would wash into the cabin with Karen and Shia.

Bleh!

Like Billy in the original Beverly Hills Cop. Or is it 2? When hes got the Bazooka and the truck's getting away, Hes reading the instructions on the bazooka and fires it by accident taking out the truck. Classic and Funny.

Natalie was good in Garden State and Closer, I thought. Not great, but not talentless. Alba has never been good in anything that I've seen.

Personality-wise, I probably wouldn't want to date either of them. (Well, Portman did go to Harvard, so she's probably reasonably intelligent, at least.) But I'm not gonna feel bad for thinking they're attractive. (y)

I've looked at the photo a few times now and it has occurred to me that Indy appears to be trying to pass the RPG off to Mutt who doesn't look too enthused about the idea.
