a cup that looks alot like the Holy grail on a shelf in the doomtown house. Has anybody else seen this or any past Indy movie referance (besides the Ark)?
Wow, cool! A reason to watch it yet again!
There were many, many allusions to the old trilogy:
Dialogue:
Indy: "I've heard that bed time story..."
Marion: "Indiana Jones!"
Indy: "Junior!" (sort of
)
Indy: "I have a bad feeling about his" - taken from another trilogy though
There are more - please help me recalling them!
The banter (maybe it's more serious
) between Indy and Marion is full of old stuff.
Actions:
Of course there's Mutt receiving the hat as young Indy did but not quite.
There are great punches by Indy that look very similar...
Iconic Imagery:
The Paramount Logo fade, of course.
The sihouette of Indy donning his hat!!!!
Certain camera setups are completely the same (congrats to Spielberg and Kaminski!): E.g. when the dean sits down in the hallway the shot has the same look+fell as the one w/ Indy's father sitting down in Brunwald castle.
A lot of trademark Indy expressions like smirks, looks etc.
That's just from the top of my head...
Bye,
Martin
