Borrowed Footage - Young Indy
The large production values of the TV series was helped somewhat
by the tasteful use of previously-shot footage from other movies.
Offhand, I can think of 2 episodes where shots from other films
were used.
"Curse of the Jackal / Spring Break Adventure / Mexico - March 1916"
Train attack on Ciudad Guerrero used footage from "Old Gringo"
very liberally. (In fact, the entire sequence - right down to
Indy switching the track lever - is taken from the 1989 film.)
"Verdun - September 1916"
Various shots from the 1979 made-for-TV version of
"All Quiet on the Western Front" were used. The one that
stands out in my mind is that of rats scurrying over a dead
soldier in the mud.
These episodes were some of the first to be produced so
maybe the use of "stock" footage was eventually discontinued?
Does anyone recognize any other "borrowed" footage?
