INDIANA JONES III

Indiana Jones III : The Last Crusade.

It started with a big production after star wars, It was to be Caled "Raiders". Indy 1 was made. Big Film. It worked.

Then came a lower budget "Temple" another Indy story for fans of "Raiders". popular film continues

And now Indy III. by Now, it has turned into a comic book, almost what was originally the idea. Another Great film for Indy fans.

These films are like comic books, that's why people watch them, this is popular media, entertainment....

Recaptures that Raiders magic

It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.

Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.

Once again we start out with a young Jones trying to save an artifact from pillagers. This lets us know of his heroic energy and introduces his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and his obsession with the Holy Grail, even to the exclusion of his relationship with Junior.

Now grown Dr. Indiana Jones gives a class and explains that Archeology is a pretty strait forward science and not some search for legends. He receives a mysterious piece of post.

He is then approached by group of rich people that are in search of the Grail. It turns out that their top researcher has disappeared. Yep it is Professor Henry Jones. What can Indiana do but go looking for his father. He is accounted by his best friend who runs a museum Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliottt) as they team up with the last person to see his father Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody.) He gets a final warning "Do not trust anybody."

Will he find his father?
If he dies what will they have to talk about?
Does the Grail really exist?
Who are the mysterious people following him?

One of my favorite scenes is where Dr. Jones disguised in a German uniform bumps into Hitler (Michael Sheard of Star Wars fame).

Have fun watching this great film with the banter between Hennery and Junior. And remember "do not trust anybody."

The Best of the trio

I just love this film! It shows the character and theme have been allowed to develope & grow. (Not many "series" movies are so lucky!)Altogether a great Saturday film! Well done to all hands concerned! I just hope that there is more films of this quality in the pipeline.
