  • There’s a bit during the Tank battle in TLC where Indy kills three Nazis with one shot.It’s pretty gruesome but it’s played for laughs.It’s the kind of thing Tarantino would come up with. Indy’s “ Did I really just do that? “ look on his face is …

  • As far as the gloomy tone,i liked that.It was ( somewhat ) a return to the grittiness of the original trilogy and possibly a reaction to the backlash to the EXTREME silliness of Crystal Skull ( Nuclear Bomb proof fridges,cgi gophers,Monkey swinging …

  • Y’all see that video where Stephen Spielberg humiliated Kathleen Kennedy on stage at the Indy 5 premiere? KK doesn’t even clap when John Williams name is called out instead of hers😂
  • My guess would be that the original ending will never be revealed as it would add further embarrassment to the films reputation and Disney.They wasted so much money on filming an ending that didn’t work that they delayed the film by a full year to m…
  • MI7 is a fantastic movie but I agree marketing and the unfortunate timing of Barbenheimer sabotaged it.Showing the train crash and bike off cliff stunt a YEAR in advance was crazy. By the time we got to the bike stunt in MI7 it was still impressi…

  • I wonder will footage of the original ending of DOD ever come to light? They delayed the film a whole year and spent a ton of money to completely rework the ending.This has been confirmed by John Williams and even Harrison Ford himself despite James…

  • Shouldn’t this thread be called “ Superman:Legacy “ now?
  • I’m all for Arnold returning.He makes even bad Bond films ( DAD and QOS ) worth watching because of his fantastic scores.
