As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was
not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward
a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic
in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes,
the Jones features tapped into Lucas's extremely profitable Star Wars formula
of modernizing the look and feel of an old, but popular, story model. Steven
Spielberg directed all three films, which are set in the late 1930s and
early '40s: the comic book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the spooky, Gunga
Din-inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the cautious but
entertaining Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Fans and critics disagree
over the order of preference, some even finding the middle movie nearly
repugnant in its violence. (Pro-Temple of Doom people, on the other hand,
believe that film to be the most disarmingly creative and emotionally effective
of the trio.) One thing's for sure: Harrison Ford's swaggering, two-fisted,
self-effacing performance worked like a charm, and the art of cracking
bullwhips was probably never quite the iconic activity it soon became after
Raiders. Supporting players and costars were very much a part of the series,
too--Karen Allen, Sean Connery (as Indie's dad), Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan,
Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliot, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies among
them. Years have passed since the last film (another is supposedly in the
works), but emerging film buffs can have the same fun their predecessors
did picking out numerous references to Hollywood classics and B-movies
of the past. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
