Title: Young Indiana Jones
Post by: Grey Ninja on October 30, 2003, 08:59:12 PM

I almost considered bringing back the "Help out a Ninja" thread to ask this, but I remembered all the responses I got last time I did that, so I am just abandoning that whole idea and starting an entirely new thread.

I finally finished watching the Indiana Jones DVDs between games of SSX 3, and I have more appetite for Young Indy than ever before.  So, I am just wondering if anyone can hook me up with Young Indy via any means at all.  I never had the chance to watch it when it was on TV, and I really want to see it now more than ever.

Are you talking about the ones with Sean Patrick Flannery as Indy?

If so, I can't help you.

I've seen four of them:
Treaure of the Peacock's Eye
Daredevils of the Desert
Phantom Train of Doom
Spring Break Adventure

They were OK. I'm reading the reviews now and they're all giving 100% ratings for them. I don't know, I just remember that I didn't enjoy them as much.
I mean, when I watched one of them, I just remember that there wasn't as much tension. And at the end, the resolution just wasn't satisfying enough to make it a good movie.
Oh well. I'll give them a rent again and see how I fare this time.

Ninja, i used to watch that show.  I think i watched about 10 episodes, and to tell you the truth, i really didnt care for them.  At the time, i was about 18-19 years old, and i wanted the classic indiana jones i loved.  All i remember is not liking it, couldnt tell you specifics.  My cousin has some of the vhs tapes on the series, maybe i'll give them a try again.  My expectations may have changed a bit since then, and often when i go back and watch a movie or show that i had previously dismissed, i end up enjoying it.  So this review has done nothing for you, has it?

I remember seeing a little bit of them when I was a kid. It's reallly just not the same without Harrison Ford behind the whip.

lol.  You guys realize of course that all this talk is falling on deaf ears right?  I ain't deciding it sucks until I see it for myself.  I loved the Young Indy sequence in "The Last Crusade" with River Phoenix, and I know that the TV Show was probably a lot worse, but whatever.  I still want to see them.

I know they were released on DVD a while back. I have no clue if it's still available. I looked around at a couple of sites and couldn't find anything.
