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 Indy'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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A MUST FOR ANY INDIANA JONES FAN
GREAT AS A GIFT OR FOR YOURSELF. YOU GET ALL 3 FILMS INCLUDING A CD WITH BONUS MATERIAL. WIDESCREEN EDITION WHICH I LIKE MUCH BETTER.

GREAT BUY AND PRICE.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ACTION, ADVENTURE & TRAVEL TO FAR AWAY LANDS! ORIGINAL 4 DISC BOX SET REVEW!
I bought the original box set many months ago on sale for a bargain price. Reading all the reviews for the new Indy installment, I wanted to watch the original 3 films again, before eventually seeing the new one. This box set contains the first 3 movies and an extra disc with a fair amount of extra material. The DVD's look and sound great and it has enough features on it to keep me happy until some day buying a "Blue Ray" version.

Watching the original "Raiders" was quite fun as I haven't watched the film in years! The DVD transfer is excellent and the audio is more than adequate on the original 4 DVD box set release not the newest release. This film still holds up well and could be labeled the definitive action adventure film without any arguments.

Ford is perfectly ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Indiana Jones
After seeing the new Indiana Jones movie, it made me want to go back and see the originals again. They are as good as I remembered. Also, it was great to watch these DVDs on a big screen with an upconventing DVD player. It was almost like your were at the movies again.
