Yes, jeff2178, great way to start and the story just barrels along from there!jeff2178 said:What a great way to start....
The original voice for the lady pirate was dubbed, too (and also not synched very well)ReggieSnake said:Was it the actress's original voice before? Wow, that VO was pretty bad...
He does pull it out, but the bottom part is still covered by his hand and the cloth that was covering it if I'm not mistaken.Stoo said:It’s hard to believe but The Eye of the Peacock is never shown in the original broadcast.
During the museum scene, the curator does not produce the diamond replica. There is a
shot where he is about to reach into his jacket and starts to look warily behind at the
painters in the background. Is this when he “pulls it out?” (My VHS re-release is not here
with me, so I can't check.)
Flannery10 said:Treasure of the Peacock's Eye is in many aspects my favorite episode of the whole series. No episode had such a great connection with the movies, except Mystery of the Blues perhaps, for obvious reasons.
I love all the fight scenes, great landscapes and the character of Bronislaw Malinowski, an intelligent man, whose goodbye quote is one of the best ones of the whole series: "Kanoo, break through your sea passage, fly through peril, leave your imprint in the sand. Perhaps we'll meet again." Some people say that was a little too much, but in my opinion it was just a great goodbye.
It's sad to see all the changes that were made to the episodes that didn't include George Hall bookends. Useless, and once again it leaves me with a big ?
Adamwankenobi said:TotPE is indeed great. But IMO, the German East Africa/Congo episodes still have it beat.
LaoCheRules! said:Yeah I think Peacock was one of my favorites, but I never liked that scene where that guy with the turban bursts into the room. The production value just seemed like nothing, the room had nothing in it. It made the scene seem very fake.
Adamwankenobi said:Lucas can't leave anything alone.
Adamwankenobi said:Yeah, it ends on a high note: "I'm going home." After all he's experienced in the war and Malinowski's pep talk, that would have been the perfect way to end the series in terms of the re-edits. So I wouldn't want it to be set later during Indy's college years, because I think it would lose some of its impact.
Now that I think about it, we're pretty lucky it got made, as it was one of the four TV movies shot after ABC canceled the series.
Stoo said:Now, I hate to do this to you, Joosse, but there's already a thread about the episode (despite the spelling error): Treasure of the Pecock's Eye. Maybe one of the mods can merge and fix the title?
Joosse said:Some of them were using M1 Garand rifles, which considering this was supposed to be 1919 is quite an achievement...
Joose said:Development on that particular type didn't start until about 1933...
Stoo said:First off, thanks, metalinvader, for the link to the Junior novels. Personally, I?m thrilled by the connection and can?t believe they extended the story even further!
Stoo said:Now, here's the interesting part: The peacock statue is described as being a ?small replica? which would mean that the real diamond is bigger than the curator?s version. He says that the 2 eyes each weighed 140 carats which matches (approx.) the size of the one in ?Doom?!
Stoo said:I love the diamond?s history especially with the British colonel and could go off on a whole tangent about that story with even further connections to ?Doom?...
Stoo said:One thing that really made me happy was seeing the 4-pack of ?Peacock?s Eye? and the movie trilogy in ?99. If any episode deserves a place alongside them, it?s this.
Stoo said:Don?t you love the mad train dash from Alexandria to Port Said when the red line is zig-zagging like crazy over the map?
