Agreed, although, there are some fans out there who aren't interested in behind-the-scenes stuff. For them, knowing too much about how the films were made ruins their magic.Crack that whip said:Still, though, those two issues aside, it really is an excellent book, and probably ought to be in every Indy fan's library.
What's with you and monkeys? Whatever it is, I like it!Rocket Surgeon said:Wait till you get to the part about the monkey army...

Been meaning to get a copy, but anything over $20 is a bit expensive for me these days as an impulse buy, and I'm sad to say that these last several months, Indy items have been in the "impulse buy" category for me, as I've been hooked on vintage 12-inch GI Joes and movie soundtracks (Intrada and La La Land CD's of movie scores cost a pretty penny). I do very much want to get a copy, though.
I just hope it's worth the money and covers the details I want to learn more about. Like the planning and execution of the truck chase sequence, and when and why Toht switched cars and died differently, the explanation for the one guy's bandaged head at the Nazi base, more info about the Oskar Schomburg scenes, etc. Also any more info about the Last Crusade deleted scenes especially... and why almost none of them are in the script. Really. They're in the novelization and comic adaptation, but I'm wondering when exactly they were come up with and why they got deleted because unlike many of the other Indy deleted scenes, its deleted scenes exist in this weird kind of nonexistence where they aren't even in the script...

I hope you enjoy it

Sakis said:I know what you mean because I'm having financial issues myself these days. About the book, as far as I can remember it will not answer your questions but still it is full of information on all the films, but you'll be the judge if it worths your money. Can't you go to a bookstore and sit down and take a good look at it?

Crack that whip said:Koosh, nice to see another soundtrack fan here! Intrada and La La Land (and Film Score Monthly, and Varese Sarabande, and so on) want my money, too...
