How Will it End?

!!!

Right on!! That's the spirit.

FINALITY, CLOSURE, FULL CIRCLE, be damned!!!

Indiana Jones lives forever!!! (not literally of course)

He lives forever in his time, in his world.

You're invited.

If you remember from YIJC in the 92 season. They had old Indy with a cane and eye patch, so he can't die, and maybe at the end of Indy 4 they will explain that.

Well the old gezzer has vanished.
And all hero's end up with eye patches.

I dont think it'll have any refrences to the YIJC

I dont think the removal of Ye Olde Indy has anything to do with some sinister plot element in my opinion, more to shore up the plot.
I do not want to see any major YIJ homages, YIJ stripped away the mystery of Indy, and wiped out his personality.

Also a lot of people aren't familiar with the YIJC. So it would just make no sense for them.

However it is still possible with GL to make obscure references to things he has done in the past. He, SS, and his production loved doing those things.

For example, GL's dog actually being named Indy, the Star Wars references and others.

If this will be the last adventure it may pay homage to it all.

They need something good to wrap it all up. I wana see 3 more sequels(including IJ4), with FORD at this age now. That'll be cool. Ford said recently too, ...`never say never`

Three more sequels are you insane!!!

At the present rate (16 years) it would take 48 years for them to be made and Ford would be getting on for 110!, and the film would be set in 2009.

See you in 2050 then....

Not nessicarliy. Do it like The Lord of the Rings. Film Indy 4 and 5 in 2004. IJ4 in summer 2005. IJ5 in summer 2006. inbetween that they do IJ6! for summer 2007 lol. I know its not gunna happen im just sayin it would be cool to have more then IJ4.

no. i think one sequel is enough...really...

If iam honest even if there were a way it could be done i do not want to see Indy carry on for much longer, as they were struggling for Ideas in the late 80's and the quality would deteriorate.

The only way i want to see an Indy V would be if it were an epiloge to Indy IV or a continuation of Indy IV.

I'm predicting a really dark ending.
Indy, disillusioned by all the violence he has seen in the world, climbs up a bell tower with a machine gun and starts shooting the neighborhood. The police have him surrounded, but Marcus manages to convince the police not to kill him. Marcus climbs up the tower to talk to Indy, and tries to make him put down the gun.

"Why are you doing this, Indy?"

"The world is a bad place, Marcus. I've seen too much evil over the years. I'm purifying the world for us, Marcus! For the good people!"

"You've taken it too far, Indy. You shot Marian and Willie. Short Round too. They were good people like us."

Indy slumps down to the floor and starts to cry. Marcus reaches over and takes the gun away. "It's over now, Indy."

Several well-armed police reach the top of the tower and help Indy to his feet. Marcus watches as they escort him out. "It's over," he says again, and the credits roll.

doesn't bother me too much, as long as JW gives an amazing backgroud music for the end, and combined with the script, directing and acting, people come out of the theater thinking "WOW" or something like that, I'm okay

Alternative dark ending

I'm predicting an alternatively dark ending that springboards into another set of sequels for...[secret released at bottom].

Indy, disillusioned by all the violence he has seen in the world, climbs up a bell tower with a machine gun and starts shooting the neighborhood. The police have him surrounded, but Marcus manages to convince the police not to kill him. Marcus climbs up the tower to talk to Indy, and tries to make him put down the gun.

"Why are you doing this, Indy?"

"The world is a bad place, Marcus. I've seen too much evil over the years. I'm purifying the world for us, Marcus! For the good people! Too many have been other than they seem."

"You've taken it too far, Indy. You shot Marian and Willie."

"No, it's been clear for some time that they were 'sleepers' planted by the NKVD."

"Short Round tipped me off." Indiana said wiping the dust off his hat.

"It's Elsa, I regret. She was a triple-agent pretending to work for both the Nazis and the Soviets, but really ultimately working for the Ukrainian Partisan Army.

Indy wiped his brow. The shadows seemed to get longer.

"Yes, I know you miss her." Marcus shook his head.

"If only she hadn't slipped carrying the masquerade to the limit."

"Yes, it is sad sometimes the way things work out."

"What have I always told you, Indy?" Marcus wagged his finger.

"To use my powers only for good, never for evil. Do you think anyone has figured out?"

"That you are really Lamont Cranston, the Shadow? Don't be silly. Only you know what evil lurks in the minds of men."

"It is a secret for which the world is not yet ready," Marcus added remembering his Arthur Conan Doyle.

They both nodded sagely and walked beyond the police lines.

[sequel to "The Shadow" which did lukewarm with Baldwin, but had potential.]

i agree with that. a back to futureesque continuation would work if they do it asap

For those who may have missed the obvious:

My "dark ending" scenario was a JOKE! I think BroomhandleDavis got it though (and I like the twist he put on it.)

I think that it would be good for this Indy film to have a larger scope so that it does not really have to follow the same formula (i.e Get mission from dodgy people, look for secondary item etc etc). Perhaps Indy could find the artifact at the end of the film but find out that it is only a cog in the great artifact, (in the immortal words of mr castro 'Indy save the world, the whole world'). Then a fifth film could have a lot more tension in it and act as an epilouge to the Indy series as a large 4 or 5 hour film would mean that there would be a lot more time for secondary activites to happen such as more scenes outside of action with Girl/Dad also it would allow people to be killed off.

Sadly I very much doubt this will happen.....

The closest we may ever get is a trilogy of Indy books.....

Sometimes...

Sometimes you have to talk v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y around here if you are making a joke. And maybe repeat yourself several times.
