    Umm!! Well, no, I thought they ended 20 or more years ago .... I think

    No, Disney/Lucasfilm made a fifth Indiana Jones film in 2023
    with Harrison Ford as an old Indiana Jones, and a de-aged (CGI)
    Harrison Ford as a younger version of himself.

    "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" was a TV series that ran for 28 episodes (2 seasons), although they later re-edited the episodes into a
    series of four TV-movies. The main problem with the show was that the
    storyline was disjointed and kept jumping to Indy at two different ages
    - one episode he was a kid in Egypt, the next episode he was nearly 20
    years old as a soldier in World War I, then back again.

    Since then there have been two more cinema movies. Realistically the
    first two movies were good, but each subsequent movie has been worse
    and worse.

    Just a rumour at this stage ... BUT despite Disney's claims the fifth
    movie would be the "last", it would be no surprise at all for them to
    reboot the franchise with a black and/or female Indy (although a female
    might be too close to Lara Croft for the lawyers). Disney was never
    going to let such a money-making franchise sit idle.

    Harrison Ford [at 80] carried the movie, which was just a safe
    re-hash of what had gone before... Indiana Jones by the numbers.
    (The ending was a bit mad though.) Probably watchable fare for a
    Bank Holiday in front of the television, but not a patch on the
    first couple of Indiana Jones films. ("Raiders of the Lost Ark"
    and "Temple of Doom".)

    Technically, the Indiana Jones franchise went progressively

    Close. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".



    was about 10 years ago...known for Jones riding out a nuclear test

    about 2 years ago and stunk like rotting cabbage.

    "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny".


    Some people are saying the recent game, "Indiana Jones and the Great
    Circle", is a good story, although the game itself has divided opinion.
    I haven't played it though.

    Umm!! Well, no, I thought they ended 20 or more years ago .... I think
    'they' tried a Young Indiana film� .... and that wrecked the franchise.

    The 4th movie, "Legend of the Crystal Skulls"

    Close. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".



    was about 10 years ago...known for Jones riding out a nuclear test
    explosion in a refrigerator. The last one (5th) was released by Disney
    about 2 years ago and stunk like rotting cabbage.

    "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny".


    Some people are saying the recent game, "Indiana Jones and the Great
    Circle", is a good story, although the game itself has divided opinion.
    I haven't played it though.
