They turned Sallah into comic relief as well! This still bothers me about L.C. (nm)

: The only thing that has ALWAYS bothered me was what they did to Brody's character in L.C.. He was represented as a point of contact in Raiders, willing to go after the Ark if he we were younger to "getting lost in his own museum" in the Last Crusade. I really think they did his character a disservice. Just my opinion. Regards. Michaelson

: : Hey Gang:

: : So, what are your opinions? I've always had a slight disdain for the Young Indiana Jones scene in "Last Crusade." I don't mean to draw ire here...it's just that they seem stilted & a little too forced,
: : almost like the filmmakers were trying too hard.

: : I'm going to head you off at the pass - I KNOW that Phoenix made a great(ish) Young Indy and his mannerisms were classic Ford...I still don't like those scenes...I'm a traitor I guess!

: : Also, I CAN'T STAND the revelation of Indiana Jones' name being Henry Jones JR., and that he was named after the dog. Yes, I know it's one of those great cinematic in-jokes, but it seems now that this one little joke is so ingrained in pop-culture that a great many deal of people think of that first when they think of Indy. I guess he'll always be Indiana Jones to me, not Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr.

: : At any rate - what scenes, dialogue, editing, acting, ANYTHING, do you feel embarrassed for the cast & crew in ANY of the Indiana Jones films?
