Now that the DVD is out, I thought I'd kick off what were my favorite topics at the TF.N forums for the prequel DVDs. Every Wednesday another chapter of the Crystal Skull DVD will be discussed. Discussion focuses only on the DVD chapter of that thread. Feel free to talk about anything from film techniques, to acting, to SFX. Feel free to post screengrabs from that chapter as well to make your point or to just show a favorite scene. It's like we're all watching it together!
Please no trolling or bashing of the film. I'd like a friendly discussion for those who enjoy the film and watching it on the small screen.
Chapter 1 - Nevada, 1957
00:00 - 07:20
Our first look at Indy in 19 years. While his entrance in this outing doesn't begin with a bang, it is definitely unexpected. "Hound Dog" opens the film with titles in the classic Raiders font. We're introduced to what seems to be a U.S. Army convoy drag racing with a car full of 50's teenagers.
The tone shifts as the convoy turns out to be Russians breaking into a certain secret government compound. The cars stop in front of a warehouse and the trunk is opened to reveal a newcomer to the franchise, Ray Winstone as George "Mac" McHale. Following Mac is our hero Indy, who is given a excellent silhouetted entrance to the film.
Another newcomer is introduced, Cate Blanchett as KGB baddie Irina Spalko. Spalko tells Indy of her background and (possible) psychic abilities, and assures Indy that he will help them find what they seek. The Warehouse doors open...
