This thread must not die, so....Question #11:
Where did Indy meet Harry Houdini?
This is a great question!!
Step 1: The bookends to
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episode "Germany, 1917". Old Indy is arrested for assaulting a disrespectful young punk and is taken to jail. As the arresting officer walks away, Old Indy says, "I'll be out of here in an hour! I knew Houdini!"
Step 2: In
Young Indiana Jones and the Daredevils of the Desert Indy meets some soldiers from Australia and claims to have visited their country (although we never saw it in the series). At one point he says, "It was great. Actually I flew an airplane with Harry Houdini."
This is all the information we have from official Lucasfilm sources. However, I was intrigued by these hints and did some historical research on my own, reading several biographies of Harry Houdini. From the information gathered, I was inspired to write a fanfic, which can be found
here.
Enjoy... (And Stoo, thanks for the opportunity to mention my story.)
