I also loved the stamp gag that follows this scene 7 hours ago, Nictarion said: And every moment from here on is now gold. Enjoy. The umbrella moment is my personal favourite 6 hours ago, Gaston de Foix said: Loving the motorcyle with sidecar.

Mladen Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 A week ago, I did a piece about music in fantasy genre and among Star Wars and Harry Potter, I put John Williams' Indiana Jones theme (original version: The Raiders March) in Top 15 most memorable fantasy movie music. That said, I have no idea whether you talked about Williams' masterpiece (haven't read 15 pages ), but it has to be mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 As a kid I always remember getting the tunes to Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Superman mixed up on a regular basis. It was only later that I realised they were all John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Rewatching Temple while ‘working’ from home. I like how the plane’s stuttering when it runs out of fuel is a re-use from Empire Strikes Back of the Falcon failing to jump to lightspeed.

I haven't had a chance to say anything about the music although I did notice his involvement. My quick and dirty view: the music in Star Wars was epic. I'm not sure the same epithet can be applied to Indy, although the movie is very well scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Sallah again sacrifices for Indy (his brother-in-law's car) for no apparent reward. If he doesn't get to drink from the grail and live forever I'm going to pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 The knights of the cruciform sword are back! I want to say their headgear is a Ottoman but it's a little large and boxy. Interesting fact from google: Ataturk banned the Fez in Turkey because he wanted his country to be more western. People wore Panama and bowlers instead.

Superman > Star Wars > Indiana Jones IMHO. But I may be partial because I watched Super at a formative age. I still can't watch the Marlon Brandon father/son speech without goosebumps.
