wel, harrison ford said he wanted to make fun of his age, and i've mentioned this before but no one seemed to care, so what do you think of this: elder indiana jones is teaching on the university...al the girls are (insteas of hypntyzed with "i love you" messeges) with bored faces. What do you think? post your ideas as well!

...honestly I don't think the faces of the girls will turn into bored faces on Indy 4, that's also his personal 'mark' that will keep ...and please it scares me to think that they will be BORED BY LOOKING AT HIM, AAAAHHHHH!!!!

I could see it happening. I think Harrison has a self-depricating sense of humor about that sort of thing, and he might suggest something similar to what you said.

Good idea. Also, another good chance to show Indy's oldness is by having him sleep on the plane to whatever country he goes to in the movie. Remember, he read his dad's diary in LC...

What! No way! I'll tell you something, the girls would *swoon* over him no matter how old he is!

I wouldn't mind some aging jokes and I've mentioned this idea before. I would love a scene where we are shown Indy's house and the camera pans in on Indy, who is asleep in his study, wearing glasses and a book on his lap. The phone rings and then he suddenly jumps awake with a surprised look on his face. I think that would be cool, and also as swords has suggested, maybe that Indy sleeps on the plane. I'm sure the cinema would have no complaints from us girls... :);):D

He slept on the aeroplan in Temple of Doom yet that was him at his youngest being played by Harrison. Indiana jones was 35-36 then.

Also, like Steven Spielburg said once i beleive, instead of indy saying "it's not the years, it's the mileage", this time he will say "it's not the mileage, it's the years". Hahaha, that'll really hilarious if he says that!

"throw me the idol!"

"give me my pills!"

"no time to argue, throw me the idol I throw you the pills!"

Sapido takes the idol but does not give Indy the pills.

"adios senior"

using all the strength in his old bones Indy leaps across the chasm and grabs his pills before he has a heart attack.

let us pray that does not happen in Indy4.

He also slept on the plane in Raiders, if you recall...and on the Bantu Wind.

I think that'd be funny if once the plane landed, his companion goes over to wake him up and it takes him a while to wake Jones up while he's snoring.

Or if they have a scene similar to the Cairo fight in ROTLA, and the Arab swordsman, Indy could take like 10 seconds to get his breath back, and instead of fighting, says "Oh to hell with that!" and pulls out his gun.

Does anyone think Indy with 2 pistols would be cool?

Love your first idea FordFan. It's fantastic!

I have often thought about seeing Indy with 2 pistols. (Okay, I know Lara Croft uses two and so did Rick O'Connell in The Mummy but, it'd be really cool! :D

When you said ageing jokes:

Maybe this would be more appropriate in another thread but I though you wanted the fellow Ravenites to come up with jokes about Indy's age like:

Abner should have told Marion to marry an archaeologist because the older she gets, the more interested he will be in her.

or

Indiana Jones is so old he has hieroglyphics on his driver's license

Indy with two guns? Nope, no LETHAL WEAPON, John Woo business please. Even Indy with a machine gun in LC was a tad jarring. I say Indy and his revolver and bullwhip all the way...but maybe he can get intimidated by newer type of weapons...that would be a nice joke in IV.
