goodeknight: Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I would love it if George or Stevie ended up having a glimpse.
@
indyclone: Thanks, Mark. I know what you mean about "the magic" in
Raiders.
@
Indy?s brother: Thanks, bro'. The Belloq part could have been better but I was tired of working on it and needed to clear some space on my computer. I?m still not enitrely happy with the final thing...maybe I'll do a re-dux for the 2-part YouTube version!
@
Lance: I will eventually post all the titles but would like to have a little contest*** first!
Thanks, all the same, Lance.

lao che & sons: Hi, Lao. Thanks but it's ?SECRET of the Incas? not ?TREASURE?!
@
Inexorable Tash: My man, Tash! Thanks a lot, bud.
@
Annie: Glad you liked it, Annie. Yes, the thread about those videos was the main impetus to finish mine.
Chuck Heston is Indiana Jones
@
Dr Bones: There are numerous identical shots which remain untouched but, to be honest, there are many which have been flipped, cropped, darkened, slowed down, de-colourized or run backwards for a better match. (I cheated a little bit.
) Glad you enjoyed it enough to watch it again.

Ska: Was hoping you?d see this thread, Ska. If there?s anyone out there who can figure out what the films are, it should be you! Appreciate your compliments. As you well know, collecting the films takes many years. I started pulling stuff together on the computer in August 2007 so had been editing it on & off in my spare time for 2 ½ years. On deck...the TRUCK CHASE!

I thought it was amazing. What a really wonderful 13 minutes of pure nostalgic entertainment. Its safe to say that Charlton Heston is the real precursor to Indiana Jones, with great clips from SECRET OF THE INCAS and THE NAKED JUNGLE. I looked and looked for John Wayne .... and thought I may have glimpsed him as one of the pilots towards the end ... but I may be wrong.
It was well worth the wait Stoo, a tremendous acheivement. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for your kind words, my friend. It would be my honour to have a link to it through your equally amazing website. Or I could send you the original file.
My collection of early Indy-type films started in the ?80s but it wasn?t until the early ?90s, after recording ?Incas? on TV, that I realized a shot-by-shot retelling would actually be possible. I had made really, crude versions on VHS but in the digital age of non-linear editing, it was possible to finally bring my plan to fruition. Anyway, I really appreciate the fact you felt it was a 'tremendous achievment'. Thank you very much.
Re: John Wayne?DING DING! You found him! Good eye, James! He is also in 2 other scenes which I forgot about. The Duke can be briefly seen running from the boulder at 9:45 and leaving the mouth of the cave at 9:52.
***A prize of 100 Swiss Francs (roughly $100) to whoever can name all the films!
