Young Indiana Jones: Verdun, September 1916 Pt. 1

Part the first - I hate that Wizard of Wall St.

[@username12120]

Oh fuck! Nostalgia bomb! I loved watching this series when I was a kid.

Indiana Jones is probably the greatest heroic character in movies, maybe in all of fiction. The character is distillation/derivative and improvement of others. And the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles are one of the (maybe 'the') best uses of a fictional hero. 'Hats off' to Lucas and Spielberg for having created this; Especially Lucas.

This first aired in 1992. The score ( 5:22 ) sounds uncannily similar to Michael Giacchino's score for Medal of Honor, from 1999. Of course it could be that both had the same influence - John Williams.

[@Wyrmshadow]

ROFL! Look at that hair! Ahhh the early 90's.

[@slytown]

This series was the shit. Thanks for posting.

Verdun September 1916....first scene is a jet liner flying past.....methinks that someone made a mistake here.

[@JSLegoMaster]

OMG! thats Petain! Hes the french commander od verdun and was the leader of french vicy in ww2.

[@Yuri244]

very good motorcycle

[@rikuziyi]

4.59 ..... action hero moment at its finest :D

[@andrew.dolan890]

As for the reason for being Belgian. He joined the Belgian Army because they wouldn't ask questions about his age. He was in a courier unit attached to the French 2nd Army but not actually a member of the French Army

[@andrew.dolan890]

That view of Haig wasn't taken until after his death and he was actually extremely supportive of soldier's charities and housing programs. Also both sides used the same tactics, it was the progression of technology going faster than the progression of military tactics that is to blame more than individuals, although saying that there were senior officers who did see men as fodder. I just think it is easy to target Haig as he was the top man.

[@Redwing1926]

You mentioned the Somme...German casualties were higher, only just though.

[@Horsemaniac]

Yea, it is on the Volume 2... think it's disc 2...

[@Moredread25]

France's old men slaughted the best of the Lost Generation.

[@Faxe90Swe]

This does not show up on the dvd-box! Anyway, what is the name of music playing the background?

[@itiswhatitisbitch]

nice motorcycle tribute to steve mcqueen

[@Deader87]

The music around 0:11 makes me feel all goofy and wanna move

[@Horsemaniac]

Yea it is... VOlume 2, Disc 2...

[@Horsemaniac]

LOL! You have a point!!!

[@InspectorScooby]

Not to sound ungrateful, but honestly I agree that this shouldn't have been uploaded without the rest.

[@amusedtodeath1]

Great episode but where's the rest of it?

[@ShipHunter]

Is this available on DVD? I have in mind that I watched it as a child...

[@Jeffybonbon]

Thats a very moden Motor Bike

[@Serenity113]

Hmm. Now I wanna know how Indy got that eye patch.

[@craigthomasjohnson]

5:40 is wrong if he is heading north with dispatches from the south he shud pass verdunn on his right , as it is on his left surely comapred to the map he is wrong in the direction as well as the way he is driving?

[@13laciotat]

380 000 Français, Darodh. Mais vous avez raison sur le fond.

[@granskare]

I think you mean the 'llizard of wall street' :)

[@bullpup33]

Is he flying Blue Star...where is Bud Fox?

[@CptMickey1]

This must be part of an incomplete episode. I watched “Young Indiana Jones: Verdun, September 1916 Pt. 1” and then “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” which stated it was “Excerpt of the powerful final minutes from the Verdun, September 1916 episode (complete with Old Indy bookend).” There was no part 2 so watching this is a waste of time.

[@Vietcong01]

just a gues but maybe it´s a commando mk 3 or something

[@joseph4501]

@Moredread25 france was the younger generation compared to the german soldiers

[@Person005]

@Jkminek I made the comment before I watched the rest of it. It's still very jarring. They should have held off until the flashback started.

[@JPS19000]

Il y aussi Francis Lalanne qui joue "l'officier au téléphone", j'en suis sûr ! lol Joffre, c'est Bernard Fresson. Il y a aussi Jean-Claude Bouillon... Mais pour Lalanne, excellent ! lol lol

[@anarbiter357]

No harry ford ._.

[@carlytr23]

@Maximal32nd i agree with u why post it if your not going to post the how thing

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Where's the rest of it?'v

[@synthkatt]

what kind of motorcycle is he riding?

[@helikos1]

joffre and haig were the worst generals in history they considered men as fodder and didnt care about their lives and im to much of a follower of young indiana jones series and stuff but isnt he american so why is he classed as a belgian in the french army?

[@GamingLogics]

i hate this, its making me hate Indiana Jones !
