Indiana Jones V

[endfire79]

I'm not the biggest fan of The Big Bang tv series, but I like the episode where one of the characters debated the first Indiana Jones movie.  One of them caused an uproar when she said Indy had no impact on the outcome of the story (i.e. the Nazis still would have melted to pieces if he hadn't shown up).  Talk about nerd rage lol

lmao, but true

My rage at IV isn't necessarily nerd rage, but more of a "just leave it be" rage. The Last Crusade was an excellent way to just end the Indiana Jones saga and be done with it.

Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones, period. While I could see another actor doing it (see my previous post), I'd hope if they DO go that route, they DO NOT call him Indiana Jones.

So, okay, maybe a little nerd rage.

IIRC South Park had a crazy episode with the whole Lucas/Spielberg/Ford thing.

Wonder how things would have turned out if Tom Selleck hadn't turned down the role.

Or if Harrison Ford had played Commander Adama in the BG reboot. He was up for that too IIRC.

Selleck didn't turn down Raiders. CBS wouldn't let him do it because he was under contract for Magnum.

[OJsDad]

Ah, I thought he had turned it down when Magnum was picked up.

Basically the same thing happened to Pierce Brosnan with Bond. NBC had him under contract for Remington Steele and wouldn't let him take on Bond (even though NBC had already canceled Remington Steele and they only brought it back after the publicity Brosnan got from the Bond talk). Otherwise he would have taken over from Roger Moore, instead of it going to Timothy Dalton. Brosnan at least did get his chance later.

Of course, Magnum worked out pretty well for Selleck in the end. For a while there was talk of doing a Magnum movie with Tom Clancy writing the story. Would have had Magnum back Naval Intelligence and on some kind of mission. Sounded like a cool concept.

What about the guys from Jake and the Fat Man, Hardcastle and McCormick, Simon and Simon, Frankenstein, Tonto and Tarzan?

Don't forget Riptide, Automan, or Masquerade.
