I think it's amusing that Indy got his chin scar, his fear of snakes, his fedora and first use of the bullwhip all on the same day.

michael said:I watched the Last Crusade again last night, and I am really starting to love the sequence, especially when he pulls the snake off Herman and the way he says "it's only a snake" plus the "i'll figure something out" line. The music is awesome too. It's also nice to see the progression of respect Fedora starts to give Indy.
Rococo said:Thought of this during tonights watching. In the early scenes, the friend is already calling him "Indy", though the way the camera pans on the dog, it seems like it's supposed to imply that *that* is the dog that Indy has "fond memories" of... so you would have to assume that he assumed the name while the dog was still alive???
NLogan said:I love the opening sequence and it is a shame River Phoenix was not alive to do the Young Indiana Jones series as he was perfect in the role. One "gripe" or more of a quandary actually is: Why is the kid with the floppy hat (Roscoe) pulling out a knife and trying to kill Indy? You know the part where they are wrestling on top of the train car and the Rhino puts his horn through the roof. I think I would have brought that up with the sheriff if I were Indy. I am sure fedora or panama hat didn't tell the goons go and kill the 13 year old boy scout, just to get the cross back. Attempted murder I think trumps theft of an artifact.

The Man said:I used to think that, besides Fedora, the goons on the ship in 1938 were the same guys who chased Indy in 1912. Is there any evidence of that?
I took it to the appropriate thread. Hope yooze all is happy...Attila the Professor said:Indeed. Cool it, you two.
If you accept the Young Indy Chronicles, then Indy took the name when his was a child.Rococo said:Thought of this during tonights watching.

GREAT find, jonesissparrow! As a collector of films movies/serials that inspired Indy, I really appreciate this.jonesissparrow said:In my opinion the opening sequence of LC really do feel like a Saturday Matinee Serial, maybe Spielberg was inspired by this serial for the opening:

Believability & Indiana Jones should never be mentioned in the same sentence.Forbidden Eye said:The fact that Indy gets his phobia of snakes, his scar, the whip and the hat within that period of time in just one day not only is unbelievable, I really think it cheapens the character of Indiana Jones
I'm sure you know but what you wish for already exists!Forbidden Eye said:Sure it somewhat establishes tension Henry and Indy have always had against each other, but just think the large improvement this movie would've had the opening been stretched out as flashbacks through-out the movie, that not only would establish his relationship with his father better, but would've expanded Indy's adventurous resume having separate occasions to when got a phobia of snakes, his hat, his scar and fedora, and not make it a a part of a very forced opening 5-10 minutes.
