: There are a few of these Star Wars/Indiana Jones crossovers...
:
: Michael Sheard, who played in IJ & the Last Crusade,
: was Admiral Ozzel in the Empire Strikes Back
: William Hootkins, who played Major Eaton in Raiders of the Lost Ark,
: was none other than loveable Jek Porkins, or Red 6, the fat rebel pilot from Star Wars.
: As you pointed out, Julian Glover played both Walter Donovan and General Veers.
: And, if I'm not mistaken, Harrison Ford had a small part to play in both film series...
: Rik.
Son of a- !!! I NEVER noticed that!!!! I just popped Empire
in the VCR and had a look for myself. You're right!!! But he looks
a lot older in Last Crusade. And it also never occured to me that
Red 6 was Major Eaton. I guess that Ford guy stands out a bit as
well... ;) I also didn't notice (until last year) that Barranca
is also the Monkey Man in Cairo. Amazing coincidences...
