Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Very strange current anti-intellectualism running in parts of this thread...anyway, raiders is my favourite because it just has the right feel; it's got jokes and humour but also has this dark thing to it. Temple just felt too much like a sequel and Crusade was almost a parody of an Indy film...
Anyone ever watch the TV series? A few good episodes in that from what I remember.

So many particulars. So many questions.
It was largely crap though iirc
I saw no dirty commies in the trailer. I thought this was Indy versus the communists?
it were all Nazi flags in the trailer

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I thought the nazi flags were part of the retrospective over the previous three films? Just watched the trailer again, really not expecting much from this film...

Don't swallow the cap
Billowing stars-n-stripes cut = automatic fail.
I chose to ignore that bit. Hopefully it's just part of the dodgy trailer and won't be in the film.
How old is Harrison Ford? A bit too old to go around leaping from moving vehicles anyhow

...but then you thought The Fifth Element was better than Blade Runner (..and I'll never let you forget it)
I don't believe it: nobody could think that!

As is often the case with movies, first is best.

OK I just looked at the trailer again and it appears you are correct. But wheres all the Commie iconography
I'm hoping for the crudest of crude commie stereotping, providing many lulz.
It's a testament to the courage and wisdom of Indy that he battles exteremist foes regardless of their ideology. By nicking old things and having ludicrous battles

Dear me, I'm thankful we don't get like this over here!
Oh right, it appears it's fake?

More bass, vicar?
I'm undecided at to whether it'll be much cop based on this teaser but still can't help but be excited!
Wonder how many references to scenes in past films they'll throw in?

Again, it's nothing to do with it not being high art.
Nah, 2 is more often the best in any trilogy

Indiana Jones wasn't conceived as a trilogy.
And the second of a trilogy is usually the one closest to being filler.
p.s. Maybe when dubbed into Chinese, the Fifth Element takes on something that it doesn't have in English...
Hmmm... Empire Strikes Back? Superman 2? X Men 2? Godfather 2? The Two Towers? Back to the Future 2? Very often the second film is where the trilogy is at its peak before shooting downhill in the third...
I watched The Fifth Element years before I came to China.
And I NEVER watch anything dubbed. I absolutely loathe dubbing.

Empire Strikes Back is a disorganized mess. It's also the one where Mark Hamill reappears after his plastic surgery, and his face has now become frozen.
Is it possible to pick a 'best of', of something as execrable as the Superman series?
Godfather 2 is good, but the first is still the classic, imo.
The Two Towers, explanatory filler, setting us up for number 3.
The original Back to the Future, is the best.

I watched Lake Placid 2 last night. Further bolstering of my argument.

Apparently the story about him getting slashed by the creature in order to justify the scars on his face is an urban myth.
I have to say I never noticed that much of a difference about his face between ep IV and the others.
As for the film itself I've always found it the most significant and powerful of the original trilogy, even if it lacks the epic climatic battle of the other two.

I liked the tv series a lot, without skimping on the action they managed to stick in loads of historical detail that isn't found in schoolbooks. It reminded me of Charleys War.

that was my beef with it. I started watching it repeated when I was 13 and was slightly annoyed with the edumacational aspect.
That and it cemented my hatred for that type of camerawork/focus (or whatever it was) It ruins Deadwood for me.

I best recall the scene where Luke is hanging there, the 'I'm your father' scene. He falls into that shaft thing, falls about a hundred stories, then Whoosh!, hits a slide thing at the bottom and comes out running.
I laughed out loud.

Your beef is unacceptable quite frankly.

it came across as twee and earnest at its worst. Worse crime, it was telling me things I already knew in a heavy handed manner. No wonder I turned to scanners/dune/terminator/predator and such other eighties gold

Some wizards and dinosaurs would not have gone amiss I grant you.

Finally watched this trailer, and I'm now offically rather excited.
I bloody love the Indiana Jones films
Oh, and Harrison Ford was sat in the bar of a hotel I was staying in last week
