Drinker's Chasers - Indy 5 Reshoots: Is This Movie Doomed?

[@eloquentsarcasm]

The Last Crusade was the final, PROPER send-off for Indy. He made up with his father, had a grand adventure with him, and helped him achieve his lifelong goal. Job done, leave it alone, everything after that has just been a cashgrab.

Sean Connery and Harrison Ford made for a great interaction. It was such a fun movie.

[@anarex0929]

I like the Crystal skull I just think they should have shot on location like the other three movies so the backgrounds of the fake areas wouldn't look so fake. But this Crystal's coal was faithful to the original Three. Some people said that the action was over the top but if you look at the other movies there's quite a few scenes that was over the top as well. Remember in the Temple of Doom and they flew out the airplane with the air filled boat and survived? Be careful dressing up the past before you forget the cracks. But yeah I think they should have stopped it with 4.

@@darthdiculous6511 the 'world' of Indiana Jones can survive without Harrison Ford, if you stick to the formula. It's basically an homage to the old pulp fantasy adventure serials of the 1930s, which are to this day great fun if you just accept it's all a fantasy Indy 4 failed utterly because it didn't keep that feel. Indy 5.... yeah, it'll fail for the same reason and any attempt at a reboot is DOA because Lucasfilm doesn't understand that you cannot do this kind of movie with 'modern sensibilities'

Indiana Jones should have ended at The Last Crusade. In Crystal Skull, Indy basically went around the whole movie saying, "I'm too old for this sh!t." The message I got, from someone who loved Indy my whole life, was "you're old now, too." That was 14 frickin' years ago! Lucasfilm is doing Indy 5 because they have absolutely NO new ideas. That goes for most of Hollywood, as well.

[@Falconlibrary]

No, you recast the film with a younger actor, as they've done with James Bond. The reason they won't do that is because woke Hollywood doesn't want another "hetero white male franchise" so instead, they're exploiting Ford to shoehorn in Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who cannot possibly carry a film on her own.

[@drdreddmanofmystery9482]

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

Karl Frederickson was the only geriatric action hero that worked on the screen, and that only worked because he was only a cartoon and the team at Pixar knew how to make it work. The people who are doing the Indiana Jones movies just seem to think that sticking an elderly Harrison Ford in front of the camera will carry people back to the original excitement. NO.

@@ytsm Old Indy and Bridge's character travel back in time, meet young Indy, young Indy gets killed, old Indy fades away and Bridge's character now has all the adventures Indy had. Indy is not just replaced, but written out of his own story. Doomcock leaked the rumour about that ending over a year ago. After it was clear that this would not fly they delayed the movie for a year for reshoots. Recently it got out that they now have 5 or 6 endings. Testscreenings clocked the ending the test audience as liked the best at 34% approval.

I figured it out. Look at who is writing, directing, producing, consulting. You got KK and Patty and Phoebe, etc. These are women who are all tied to legacy franchises that absolutely don't understand and don't care about the stories that were created, they just wanted to be a part of the social event. What they care about is their social justice nonsense and they seem to think the target audience is other 40-60 year old women like them that were apparently left out as kids because of boys. Surely there's millions of women just like them that just wanted to be a part of these things right? The answer is no. We were all kids once. How many times did the girls at your school turn their noses up at the movies you watched or games you were interested in? I can count on both hands the amount of girls I've known that actually liked a lot of this stuff vs. the ones that were forced to play with the boys or go watch their movies because there were no other girls around. Rare was the occurence actual interest rather than that girl feeling left out. The KK audience, doesn't exist.

TROS is the perfect example and probably the first time noticing the extent of how much a film can be patched together, with actors, characters and story being chopped, cut, deleted and reshot on a whim... unsurprisingly, resulting in a multi-million, Frankenstein's monster shit show!

Interesting what you said about Indie not working in the 1960s. I could never get my head around Poirot being brought up to the present (as he was in the books) because his brand of elegance just wouldn't work in the second half of the 20th century. The TV series decision to keep him in the years around WWII was inspired. Some heroes are inextricably tied to the period in which they were spawned. Even though Indie was created in the early 1980s, the mindset of Spielberg and Lucas was very much wrapped up in the pulp heroes who were their inspiration. And, mercifully, political correctness was still regarded as a bit of a joke in the 1980s so no one minded that the films ignored it.
