It was good to watch the whole series again! After all these years it was still very entertaining!!
Finally I have managed to get my hands on this awesome collection. If you have not yet been introduced to Indiana Jones then this is the way you should make his acquaintance. The conversion to Blu Ray is awesome. Crisp, clear picture and great sound bring these classic movies to life like never before. You will not be disappointed with these movies. They are and will always be true classics.
Own all four Indiana Jones adventures in this Blu-ray box set collection. This collection includes: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is no ordinary archeologist. When we first see
him, he is somewhere in the Peruvian jungle in 1936, running a booby-trapped
gauntlet (complete with an over-sized rolling boulder) to fetch a solid-gold
idol. He loses this artifact to his chief rival, a French archeologist named
Belloq (Paul Freeman), who then prepares to kill our hero. In the first of many
serial-like escapes, Indy eludes Belloq by hopping into a convenient plane. So,
then: is Indiana Jones afraid of anything? Yes, snakes. The next time we see
Jones, he's a soft-spoken, bespectacled professor. He is then summoned from his
ivy-covered environs by Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) to find the long-lost Ark
of the Covenant. The Nazis, it seems, are already searching for the Ark, which
the mystical-minded Hitler hopes to use to make his stormtroopers invincible.
But to find the Ark, Indy must first secure a medallion kept under the
protection of Indy's old friend Abner Ravenwood, whose daughter, Marion (Karen
Allen), evidently has a “history” with Jones. Whatever their personal
differences, Indy and Marion become partners in one action-packed adventure
after another, ranging from wandering the snake pits of the Well of Souls to
surviving the pyrotechnic unearthing of the sacred Ark. A joint project of
Hollywood prodigies George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, with a script co-written
by Lawrence Kasdan and Philip Kaufman, among others, Raiders of the Lost Ark is
not so much a movie as a 115-minute thrill ride. Costing 22 million dollars
(nearly three times the original estimate), Raiders of the Lost Ark reaped
200 million dollars during its first run. It was followed by Indiana Jones and
the Temple of Doom (1985) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), as well
as a short-lived TV-series “prequel.”
Temple of Doom
The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones epics is set a
year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984). After a brief
brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river,
Indy (Harrison Ford) gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem
and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His
companions this time around include a dimbulbed, easily frightened nightclub
chanteuse (Kate Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan
Ke Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a
harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the
heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to
Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the
Sherpa warrior.
Last Crusade
The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga
begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River
Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into
the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination
to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums
in which they belong. A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly
afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a
disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once
again, however, Mr. Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector
(Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after
Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in
search of the famed cup — Indiana Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean
Connery) — who had recently disappeared during his efforts. The junior and
senior members of the Jones family find themselves in a series of tough
situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the
Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison
Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an
undercover Nazi agent. The search for the grail is a dangerous quest, and its
discovery may prove fatal to those who seek it for personal gain. Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade earned a then record-breaking $50 million in its first week
of release.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas bring you the greatest adventurer of all time
in “a nonstop thrill ride” (Richard Corliss, TIME) that’s packed with
“sensational, awe-inspiring spectacles” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull finds Indy (Harrison Ford)
trying to outrace a brilliant and beautiful agent (Cate Blanchett) for the
mystical, all-powerful Crystal Skull of Akator. Teaming up with a rebellious
young biker (Shia LaBeouf) and his spirited original love Marion (Karen Allen),
Indy takes you on a breathtaking action-packed adventure in the exciting
tradition of the classic Indiana Jones movies!
