Mickiana said:Maybe the rigors of marriage will have Indy needing to go on expeditions and blow some people away just to get some steam off (Marion is argumentative, as is he). He might come across a wife beater and need to give him what for! If they do make the damn thing, more shooting on Indy's part, more whip and more peril. Perilous, I say!!
Then he says: "no more spam, The man."Montana Smith said:I The man is almost upon him, as Indy reaches inside his jacket and pulls out the Browning hi-power and empties the clip into the brute, who drops dead at his feet.

Montana Smith said:I ask myself - does married Indy still have the balls?

Indy's brother said:It seems to me that one particular element of the character was changed that affected the overall feel of the franchise and Indy himself. Whether or not it was an intentional change or and unintentional oversight from the 19 year hiatus is certainly open to conjecture. Now that my preamble is finished, I'll spit it out: The "Swashbuckling" aspect of Indy's personality, which directly affected his adventures. Gone is the skirt-chasing and risk-taking. The Indy of KOTCS wasn't involved in a new love interest, which is a first. The opening 3rd act shows Indy thrust into an adventure, rather than being in one of his choosing, which is also new. In fact, all the risk taking in this is instigated by not him, but the members of his entourage. He is reacting to events that are set into motion by everyone else around him, rather than being the catalyst himself. It would seem less out of place perhaps if Indy 5 were to continue this type of character, creating more of a distinction between the OT Indy and our "new" or "older" Indy. Not sure which approach would serve the franchise better now that KOTCS has been unleashed on the world. If Indy carries on as purely a reactionary character, then we have definitively two franchises: Old Indy and Middle-Aged Indy, which provides a chance for KOTCS to find a more comfortable place in the more modern version of the series, or a second trilogy, even. If a 5th film emerges and showcases the more proactive Indy that we knew in the 80's, well KOTCS is forever doomed to stand out as a complete oddball addition to the series. I think that if the 5th is ever made, it will most likely land somewhere in between, which of course is the safest plan, and the best way to address the superfluous criticism of the last movie.
So Montana, the answer to your question is that he could but it's anyone's guess as to whether he will.

Now Marion keeps them in her purse.
Montana Smith said:This is what I've been arguing. KOTCS Indy had everything piled on him. He's still Indy, but older. Yet the story didn't allow him freedom of choice - leaving him reactive, as you say.
Now they've taken Indy down this route, it's hard to switch out of it. Consequently, I'm not in favour of seeing an Indy V, since it will likely follow the same pattern. Will he magically have overcome the problems of age? Only if age is a state of mind, and I don't think Indy really accepted getting older in the first place. So it would look out of place to return him to the vitality of the risk-taking and pro-active man we last saw in TLC.
Indy's brother said:Of course, there is another angle to consider as we vivisection the character in this way. Indy does not physically acknowledge his age in KOTCS, in fact he's more bullet-proof than ever before! Should he return to form in by taking more risks by choice, and is then physically punished for doing so, it could work. Do you see what I mean?
(it would kind of add a little more depth to the karma of the characters in the bigscreen Indyverse)
Montana Smith said:Making him actually more bullet proof was a paradoxical situation, that Lucas and Spielberg brought upon themselves when they decided to go 'all out' on spectacle.
Montana Smith said:Reading beyond the script, movie and novel, we can assign his bullet-proof nature to a temporary state of protection afforded by the Interdimensionals, who needed him to survive to do their bidding. The Skull chose to speak to Indy, masking him a 'chosen one'. Though, since that has never been referenced officially, it would be hard to broach in he next one.

THE DEADBOLT: Where do things stand with you and a fifth Indiana Jones movie?
ALLEN: I am waiting to hear when and if they have a script. What I know is that there?s a story that they like, which is huge step forward. I heard this about six months ago that they have a story that they like and they?re working on it. I don?t think I?ll really know anything more until they have a script they like. And at that point I?ll probably get filled in a little bit, and there?s no guarantee I?ll be in the film. However, now that we?re man and wife, I?m very hopeful they will continue with a story I?m included in. We?ll just have to see. But I would very, very very much love to continue in the family and the process.
