Tom Selleck would have been a better Indy

I know Harrison Ford was a great Indy, but I believe that had Tom Selleck not been tied to Magnum PI he would have been a better Indy. As many already know Tom was first choice for the role but had to pull out. If he could have done it, I think he would have been better and bought more to the role. I know everybody loves Harrison, and so do I, but watch films like Quigley Down Under and imagine Selleck as Indy and you have the ultimate Mr Jones.

Selleck was also a lot better looking, but that's besides the point.

Not this again. OK, ok, sorry if that was rude. This is one of those topics that's brought around a couple times a year and all.

Technically, as you would agree I'm guessing, we'll never be able to know- we'd have to get a first impression from both, and since you've already scene Harrison do it one way, that would creep into your judgement if you saw Selleck do it. So realistically, we'll never know.

But as far as personal opinions, I saw got a chance to watch the bonus footage (Yay!), and when they showed Selleck delivering some of the lines, it didn't seem like it was working. Of course, that was the audition and all, but that's all I have to go by really. It just seemed really bad. I think Harrison pretty much blows anyone out of the water.
 
again,


NO COMMENT


PLz there is nothing to argue here, i dont think an argument where we speak about things that could have been but werent could be useful

Indiana Jones is only HARRISON FORD !!!
Tom Sellck would be good, but NOT BETTER !!!

Steven Spielberg say somewhere that if it was Tom Selleck, the movie would be more funny. Harrison Ford give to the part more humanity !

I guess I missed something. Is Colonel_Vogel a troll or something? Did he/she do something/keeps doing something so horrible that no one can forgive him/her or at least try?

I saw nothing wrong with the thread, or another thread I replied to him/her on, but some other people seem very against him/her. I'm just confused, but I guess there's a reason.

To me, stuff like this is uncool no matter what-period-, but I'm one in a million.

Vogel's probably a Chattar zombie. But don't ban him and maybe he'll get bored. Whenever chat makes a new zombie he likes to send me dirty PMs from it :p
 
the best indy would be...........

i think clint eastwood would make a fine indy ,he would give up on that wus assed webley 38 cal and instead he would cary a 44 mag.and he might use lines like "gee you spin that big sword realy good huh? . "BOOM!!!
 
no he wouldnt be a good indy, just imagine the end scene in the last crusade, donovan shoots Henry and Indy says how many shots have i made? 6, 7? u feel lucky today? :D

I think Eastwood and Selleck could have pulled of the fedora wearing hero but I cant realy see these two in the tweed suit teaching a college class.

what could make you think HF would show up to a cast wearing short shorts and a hawaian shirt? :confused:
Indy wears a fedora,Magnum wears hawiian shirts.If HF were to star in Magnum P.I., he would dress accordingly.
