To answer the thread's title, though, I think it's no better than 5-7%.
That's not true at all. Non-western countries and their culture/history were very present throughout the entire series.Indy Croft said:young indy was good but why always about western history? It always showed beauty of Europe and not the natural beauty in the Orient.
He has a different woman in each of the original movies and this is no different. 20 women in those particular 5 years is totally believable.Indy Croft said:Also Indy is portrayed a a playboy, hanging out with about 20 women in just 5 years and having sex with a women who's like 15 years older than him in France. That's what messed up the series i think.

Along with this list below, there were also some planned epsiodes for Jerusalem, Tokyo and India (for a 3rd time).
Plus, it's not a Bollywood or Shaw Bros. production.
The Orient:
China
India (twice)
Java
New Guinea
Middle East:
Palestine
Turkey
Africa:
Egypt (three times)
the area of modern-day Kenya (twice)
The Congo
Gabon
Morocco (twice)
I don't know if you've heard of Deepha Mehta. She is an Indian who emigrated to Canada and has directed many films including her acclaimed trilogy
"Fire", "Earth" and "Water". She also directed the Benares chapter of "Journey of Radiance" and the Greece episode in "Travels With Father" which are
two, very fine pieces. Didn't you watch "Journey of Radiance" and "Peacock's Eye"?

I was wrong about him being in Indy twice. My mistake and thanks for catching it. (Had the unproduced episodes been made we would've seen him there again meeting Gandhi.)dr.jones1986 said:When was Indy in India for a 2nd time by the way? I only remember the journey of radiance episode, they mention possibly going to India in the peacock's eye episode but he chooses not to follow remey at the end.
If you're talking about Deepa Mehta, yes, she did that one and the episode in Benares with Krishnamurti.Thorpe said:Yes, I am sure I recall her name when I looked up Travels with Father. She does the segment where they are at the monasteries, right?
