The Complete Indiana Jones Movie and TV Timeline (1908-1993)

Holy crap, his younger years reads like the most impressive fan fiction I’ve ever seen

[@neverlistentome]

Young Indiana Jones chronicles were great! Even had appearances from Harrison Ford himself.

[@joelmole3157]

I love how Young Indiana Jones is canon since Indy references Pancho Villa in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

[@Wade_Tyler]

It was a great reference!

[@Minnesota_Central]

That reference did not deem the show canon... The show was made by George Lucas himself, and Harrison Ford even made an appearance in one of the episodes....... Do you know anything about this franchise kid?

@@partytimejew it's been over a year since I posted my original comment..... I'm sitting at a table drinking coffee & listening to Beethoven. Did you think when posting that comment, telling me to "calm down" that a year later I'd still be worked up about it? Do you lack the perception of time or did you think your comment would magically go back in time to that moment of me being upset. Also for the record I wasn't upset, I just told him he didn't know much. Which is true. But seriously. My mind doesn't even recall the day or time I posted the comment. Yet you think for some reason my life was been nothing but me needing to calm down since then apparently.

I always thought the Young Indy series was like canon-adjacent fan fiction, but presented like this, it actually fits in pretty easily. Who knew?

Crystal skull is actually rlly great. It has the new theme of dealing with aging. Dial of destiny while sad, is heartfelt and surprising. Deals with moving on from the past and living in the present. The hate for the franchise is so silly, the movies have always been the same in spirit, but each one brining something different and leaves a great message

It's cool that you even included the bit from 1950 with the Native American Chief, trying to protect his peace pipe from armed thieves before Indy flashbacks about a saxophone.

I've seen it, and the more I ponder it, I'm beginning to prefer it to all the other sequels and prequels -- though nothing beats the original RAIDERS. Some people hate it -- hell, some people hated it before they even saw it, or hate it despite vowing they'll never see it (!), but don't listen to those naysayers. It's a good movie.

[@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In]

This was well done, which ever of the crew contributed, it reminds me of when Danielle profiled the Hulk, with great attention to history and to details.

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

Is it just me or does Indy become less interesting when you realise he's met every famous person in the 20th century?

[@W4iteFlame]

yeah...

[@chrisxx5583]

More interesting. I like the idea of Harrison Ford bumbling through history, inadvertently part of key moments in modern civilisation.

[@riccatron8131]

Excellent recap, thanks. Disney+ is currently airing all of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Am sorry Dial of Destiny was not the blockbuster everyone wanted it to be. I was hoping interest would be generated to continue more adventures of Young Indy. George Lucas wrote 70 episodes, only half were produced before the series was cancelled. If finished it would have taken timeline up to the start of the movies.

The old Indy of the nineties was omitted from the DVDs, perhaps it's not canon, but if nothing in Dial of Destiny conflicts. . . . The show needs a blu ray, any boxset calling itself complete is false advertising when lacking the television series

After watching the last film, and knowing what we know about Mutt, im wondering how indy is a grandpa? Unless Mutt got married and had kids between KOCS and DOD. Mutt was 19 in crystal skull, and woukd have been 31 in Dial of Destiny. So it's possible i guess. But they dint really mention mutt that much in the film. So, who knows.🤔🤷

not sure how Indy would become a grandfather given film 5 story line but you never know

[@terrillgoodwinejr537]

Indiana Jones and the Monkey King In 1985, Columbus wrote a script for a third Indiana Jones film entitled Indiana Jones and the Monkey King. Columbus' script included Indy taking a trip with his assistant Betsy to a secret city protected by soldier gorillas and governed by the evil Monkey King. According to Columbus, the script was written so that the story didn't appear too similar to the previous film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. However, at the end, Columbus' script was rejected and the film was finally released in 1989 under the title Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and directed by Steven Spielberg. In 2017, Columbus' script was adapted into a five-part live reading/audio drama on the Alcohollywood podcast.

[@captainviggo4575]

I've always found it weird that they re-used Paul Freeman for another role in the Young Indy series when he was already well known for playing Belloq in the first movie.

[@Major_Doug_Keith]

My uncle showed me his VHS of Radiers in the late 90s and he told me Indy eventually died in 1993 and was born in 1900. That meant he died at 93, which was a long time and I never fact-checked him. This was an interesting video, and my uncle said he was right bc Indy was not seen past 1994. Idk why i believe him, I just do 🤷‍♂

[@lessonmet5291]

Was there nothing about "Wu Han?" He was Indiana's other apprentice besides Short Round round in Shanghai. He was killed by Lao Che's men and claimed that they had "many adventures" in his final breath. I always found this odd because Spielberg clearly wanted his own James Bond out of Indy, and each film starts with an adventure that has little to do with the rest of the film. Short Round does not mention; nor does he question Wu Han's disappearance, so it feels like the character and actor was added in late into the script to give Indy the upper hand up until Wu's death. Now having a deeper look into Indy's history before the films, there does not seem to be any space for Wu Han's "many adventures" with Indy. (unless he appeared in a cartoon, book, comic, or any other medium outside of movies. Heck, even a wayang kulit would do.)

[@incredibeast9661]

I didn’t even know there was another movie after kingdom of the crystal skull. How is dial of destiny? Any good?

I'd recommend it. Just skip episodes 3 and 9, You won't regret it.

[@starwarsnerdette5165]

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Indy and his mother on the Titanic? I thought I read about that somewhere and when the video said that his mother died of Scarlet fever in May of 1912 that actually made a lot of sense because I read where several surviving passengers ended up contracting Scarlet fever. Edit: I just read the fandom, Indiana was on the ship with a friend who also survived, but his mother was not on the ship. So that makes me wonder if maybe Indiana contracted Scarlet fever and passed it to her. I still need to look more but yeah that's what I'm kind of thinking happened. Edit 2: I'm not seeing anything mentioning how she got it so it's up for debate. I'm going with my theory, but if anyone has one I'd love to hear it.

The brawl scene between the high school jocks and the bikers was pretty hilarious not just in the fourth film, but also because in a lot of stories where the main female character has two male love interests, one is often a high school jock and the other is often a delinquent who rides a motorcycle and is part of a biker gang. Though I wasn't a fan of the choice of background music that they played during the scene.
