Television
From 1992 to 1996, George Lucas executives produced a television series called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, aimed mainly at teenagers and children, showing many important events and historical figures early in the 20th century. 20 through the prism of Indiana Jones life.
The show originally featured the formula of an elderly (ages 93 to 94) Indiana Jones played by George Hall introduces a story from his youth through an anecdote: the main part of the episode then features an adventure with a young adult. Indy (16 to 21 years old) is played by Sean Patrick Flanery or Indy boy (8 to 11 years old) played by Corey Carrier. One episode, "Young Indiana Jones and Mystery of the Blues", was lent by Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, not Hall. The later episodes and telemovies do not have this bookend format.
The lion's share of this series centers around Indiana Jones's young adulthood and activities during World War I as a 16 to 17-year-old soldier in the Belgian Army and then as intelligence and spy officer backed by French intelligence. The Indy child episode follows a boy's journey around the world as she accompanies her parents on her father's worldwide lecture tour from 1908 to 1910.
This show provides some background for the movies, as well as new information about the characters. Indiana Jones was born July 1, 1899, and his middle name is Walton (middle name Lucas). It is also mentioned that he had a sister named Suzie who died as a feverish baby, and that he ended up having a daughter and grandchildren who appeared in several episodes of introductions and epilogues. His relationship with his father, first introduced in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, further refined the story of his journey with his father as a boy. Indy damaged or lost his right eye sometimes between events in 1957 and early 1990s, when the "Old Indy" segment occurred, when the elderly Indiana Jones wore a blindfold.
In 1999, Lucas removed the episode and epilogue episode by George Hall for the release of VHS and DVD, and re-edited his episodes into chronological sequential long stories. The series title is also changed to Indiana Jones Adventure .

After this, the game branched into original storyline with Indiana Jones in Lost Kingdom, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and Infernal Machines, Indiana Jones and Emperor's Tombs and Indiana Jones and Staff of Kings . Emperor's Tomb traps Jones Wu Han's friend and the look of the Nurhaci ash visible at the beginning of the Temple of Doom . The first two games were developed by Hal Barwood and starring Doug Lee as Indiana Jones's voice; Emperor's Tomb told David Esch to fill the role and Staff of Kings starring John Armstrong.
Indiana Jones and Infernal Machines are the first Indy based games to be presented in three dimensions, compared to the 8-bit graphics and previous scrolling games.

Maps Indiana Jones
Description and character formation
"Indiana" Jones' full name is Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr., and his nickname is often shortened to "Indy".
In his role as an archeology lecturer, Jones was an educated and educated in a wool suit, teaching about an ancient civilization. On the occasion to restore important artifacts, Dr. Jones transformed into "Indiana," a superhero superhero he created himself. Producer Frank Marshall said, "Indy is a character that can go wrong, he makes mistakes and gets hurt.... That's another thing that people love: He is a real character, not a character with superpowers." Spielberg said there was "a willingness to let our main man get hurt and express his pain and make him angry and take pratfalls and sometimes be his own joke.I mean, Indiana Jones is not a perfect hero, and his imperfections, I think, make the audience feel that , with a little more practice and a little more courage, they can be like him. "According to Spielberg biographer Douglas Brode, Indiana created his heroic figure to avoid the foolishness of teaching in school. Both Indiana's persona reject each other in philosophy, creating duality. Harrison Ford says the pleasure of playing a character is because Indiana is a romantic and cynical, while scholars have analyzed Indiana to have the properties of wolves alone; a man in a search; glorious treasure hunters; a rejuvenated detective; a super human hero; and an American patriot.
Like many of the characters in his film, Jones has several elements of Spielberg's autobiography. Indiana does not have a proper father figure because of her tense relationship with her father, Henry Senior. His own anger was misdirected against Professor Abner Ravenwood, his mentor at the University of Chicago, leading to a tense relationship with Marion Ravenwood. Teenage Indiana based his views on the figure of the Indiana Jones prologue and the Last Crusade, after being given his hat. Marcus Brody acts as a positive role model for Indiana on campus. Indiana's own immunity was exacerbated by the absence of his mother. At Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom, he became a father figure for Willie Scott and Short Round, to survive; he was saved from Kali's crimes by the dedication of the Short Round. Indiana also saved many of the enslaved children.
Indiana uses her knowledge of Shiva to defeat Mola Ram. In Raiders , however, he is wise enough to close his eyes before the Lord in the Ark of the Covenant. Instead, his rival Rene Belloq was killed for his courage to try to communicate directly with God.
In the prologue of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Jones is seen as a teenager, building his appearance when given a fedora hat. Indiana's intentions were revealed as prosocial, as he believed the artifacts were "included in the museum." In the movie climax, Indiana underwent a "literal" faith test to take the Grail and save her father's life. He also remembers Jesus as a historical figure - a humble carpenter - rather than a tall figure when he recognized the simple nature and tarnished the Grail's apparent appearance among many more ornate decorations. Henry Senior saved his son from falling to his death as he grabbed the fallen Grail, telling him to "let him go," overcome his loan shark. The Indiana Indiana Chronicles describes how Indiana became solitary and less idealistic following its service in World War I. In Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull Kingdom, Jones was older and wiser, while his sidekicks, Mutt and Mac, respectively -masing is arrogant and greedy.
Origins and inspirations
Indiana Jones was modeled after a powerful jaw hero from the matinà © series and the mushroom magazine that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg enjoyed in their childhood (such as Republic Pictures series and Doc Savage series). Sir H. Rider Haggard's guardian/great game hunter Allan Quatermain of King Solomon Mines, originally from 1885, is a famous template for Jones. The two friends first discussed the project in Hawaii around the time of the release of the first Star Wars movie. Spielberg tells Lucas how he wants the next project to be something fun, like the James Bond movie (this will be referenced when they release Sean Connery as Henry Jones Sr.). According to sources, Lucas responded to the effect that he had something "better," or that he "got the knock."
One of the possible bases for Indiana Jones is the Professor Challenger, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1912 for his novel, The Lost World . Challenger is based on Doyle's physiological professor, Sir William Rutherford, an adventurous academic, though a zoologist/anthropologist.
Another important influence on the development of the Indiana Jones character is Carl Barks comic character Uncle Scrooge, who has since been the intellectual property of Walt Disney Company. Carl Barks created Uncle Scrooge in 1948 as a one-off relationship for Donald Duck in Donald Duck's comic book. Barks realizes that the character has greater potential, so Dell's separate Uncle Scrooge comic book series is full of exciting and strange adventures in the company of his developed duck nephew. This Uncle Scrooge comic series greatly influenced George Lucas. This appeal of Scrooge as an adventurer influenced Jones's development in a clear and clear way. For example, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" prologue contains a homage to Uncle Scrooge's Barks' Seven Cities of Cibola adventure? published in "Uncle Scrooge" # 7, Dell Comics, September 1954. This honor in the film takes the form of playfully imitating his removal-of-his-statue-of-base and the collapse of stones from comic books. While Uncle Scrooge's early prototype was Ebenezer Scrooge of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol", Scrooge's personality quickly picked up several characteristics of H. Rider Haggard Allan Quatermain and Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger. This means that Lucas and Spielberg may have been directly influenced by Haggard's Quatermain and Doyle's Challenger, as noted above, but also indirectly through Uncle Scrooge Bark's/Disney.
The character was originally named Indiana Smith, after an Alaskan Malamute called Indiana that Lucas owned in the 1970s and where he based Star Wars character Chewbacca. Spielberg disliked Smith's name, and Lucas casually suggested Jones as an alternative. The original Crusade reference text, with Jones's father revealing the birth name of his son to Henry and explaining that "we named dogs Indiana", for his son was disappointed.
Some also suggested that C.L. The science fiction character of Moore Northwest Smith may have influenced Lucas and Spielberg in their naming choices.
Lucas has said on numerous occasions that Sean Connery's portrayal of British secret agent James Bond is one of the main inspirations for Jones, the reason why Connery was chosen for the role of Indiana's father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Spielberg earned a rating of the Eagle Scout badge and Ford the Life Scout in their youth, giving them the inspiration to portray Indiana Jones as Life Scout at the age of 13 at The Crusade.
Costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis noted that the inspirations for the Indiana Jones series and clothing are Charlton Heston's Harry Steele at the Secret of the Incas (1954) and called Raiders of the Lost Ark almost shot to shoot "the remake of the Heston movie, citing that Indiana Jones" better, softer Harry Steele ":" We did watch this movie together as a crew several times, and I always thought it was odd that the filmmakers did not credit it later as inspiration for the series. "
Historical model
Many people are said to be the real-life inspiration of the Indiana Jones character - though nothing follows has been confirmed as inspiration by Lucas or Spielberg. There are a few suggestions listed here in alphabetical order by last name: Carl Ethan Akeley (May 19, 1864 - November 18, 1926) Explorers, sculptors, biologists, conservationists, inventors, veterinarians, and natural photographers, noted for his contributions to the American museum, especially to the Historical Field Museum Nature and the American Museum of Natural History. He is considered the father of a modern taxidermy.
Costume
At the request of Spielberg and Lucas, costume designers give distinctive silhouette characters through hat styling; after examining many hats, the designers chose a high-edged, broad-brimmed fedora. As the documentary Raiders shows, the hat serves a practical purpose. Following in the footsteps of the old "B" movie that inspired the Indiana Jones series, fedora hides the actor's face enough to allow the double to perform a more dangerous action smoothly. Examples in Raiders include a wider angle shot from Indy and Marion crashing into a statue through a wall, and Indy sliding under a vehicle that moves rapidly from front to back. It is therefore necessary to cap to stay in place most of the time.
The hat becomes so iconic that filmmakers can only come up with very good reasons or a joke to remove it. If it falls during take, the shoot should stop to return it. Joking, Ford put a stapler on his head to stop his hat from falling when a documentary crew visited during the Indiana Jones shoot and the Last Crusade. This creates an urban legend that Ford is clamping a hat to his head. Whenever Indy hats unintentionally come out as part of the storyline (blown away, thrown, etc.) And it seems almost indefinable, the filmmaker will make sure Indy and his hat are always reunited, regardless of the impossibility of their return. Although other hats are also used throughout the film, styles and profiles generally remain the same. Elements of clothing include:
- Fedora is supplied by Herbert Johnson Hatters in the UK for the first three films. The Australian model was used by costume designer Deborah Landis to show captains Richard Swales detail when creating an iconic hat from the "Poets" section. Fedora for Crystal Skull was created by Steve Delk and Marc Kitter from the Adventurebilt Hat Company of Columbus, Mississippi.
- The leather jacket, a combination of "Type 440" and jacket A-2, made by Leather Concessionaire (now known as Wested Leather Co.) for Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade . For Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom, the jacket is made in-house at Bermans & amp; Natan in London is based on the acrobatic jacket they provide for Raider of the Lost Ark. Tony Nowak creates a jacket for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull Kingdom .
- Indiana Jones shirt is based on a typical safari-style shirt. His trademark is the two vertical strips that run from the shoulders to the bottom of the shirt's tail and continue on top of both breast pockets. General debate about the color of the original shirt. Surviving samples from genuine shirts seem darker in reality than they appear on screen. Most fans are looking for a white "stone" color off-off for a replica. The original shirt, however, may be more of a "tan" or "natural" color. The shirts vary slightly from film to film, the only prominent differences are the dark buttons in Temple of Doom and Last Crusade . Originally designed by Andreas Dometakis for films, this shirt was once one of the most difficult parts to be found.
- The trousers worn by Indiana Jones in the three films are based on genuine Army troop troops and Army Air Force troops. Although not their original Pink is based on the same basic design and carries a bit of pink. Trousers made for Raiders are said to be more grayish brown while trousers made for Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade should be more pure reddish brown. The trousers were made of tweed wool, folded with seven circles of belts, two buttoned back buttons, buttons, and four-inch military sieve. They are all likely to be subcontracted by the costume department and made by the famous London cinema customers, Angels and Bermans, to fit perfectly for Harrison Ford for production.
- The bag is a modified Mark VII gas mask bag used by British troops and civilians during World War II.
- The whip is an 8 to 10 foot (2.4-3.0 m) bullwhip made by David Morgan for the first three films. Whips for Crystal Skull are made by various people, including Terry Jacka, Joe Strain and Morgan (different styles and possibilities are used in specific actions).
- The gun is usually a World War I era revolver, including the Revolver Webley Government (WG) ( Last Crusade and Crystal Skull ), or Smith & Wesson Pistol Model Second Hand Ejector ( Raiders ). He also uses the Official Colt Police (Temple of Doom), a Nagant M1883 ( Young Indiana Jones), and 9Ã, mm Browning Hi-Power ( Raiders ). This weapon is carried in a military pattern cover sheath.
- The shoes were made by Alden. The stock style (model 405) that had been Ford's favorite before the films, is still on sale today (albeit with a darker brick (bata) than is seen in movies) and popularly known as "Indy Boots. "
The fedora and leather jackets of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are on display at the Smithsonian American History Museum in Washington, DC The collection of props and clothing from the film has become a growing hobby for some fans of the franchise. Jones' whip is the third most popular film weapon, as demonstrated by a 2008 poll conducted by 20th Century Fox, which surveyed about two thousand movie fans.
Casting
Initially, Spielberg suggested Harrison Ford; Lucas rejected the idea, for he had been instrumental in the American Graffiti
Furthermore, both Peter Coyote and Tim Matheson auditioned for the role. However, after Spielberg suggested Ford again, Lucas relented, and Ford played a role less than three weeks before the filming began.
Cultural impact
Archaeological Influence
Industry magazine Archeology mentions eight archaeologists of the past and now they feel "tangible [Jones] spirits" as recipients of the Indy Spirit Award in 2008. In the same year Ford himself was elected to the Board of Directors. for the American Institute of Archeology. Commenting that "understanding the past can only help us in dealing with the present and the future," Ford is praised by the association president for his character "an important role in stimulating public interest in archaeological exploration."
He is perhaps the most influential figure in films exploring archeology. Since the release of Raider of the Lost Ark in 1981, the idea of ​​archeology and archaeologists has changed fundamentally. Prior to the release of the film, the stereotypical image of an archaeologist was the type of an older and sluggish professor. In the early years of films involving archaeologists, they were portrayed as victims who needed to be rescued by a more masculine or heroic figure. After 1981, stereotypical archaeologists were regarded as adventurers of bullwhip men and Ivy League professors. The stereotypical image of an archaeologist is also described as an individual who usually does fieldwork, which is not always the case.
Indiana Jones is essentially an archaeological archetype, the individuals actively involved in this field are influenced by ideas put forward in film and other related media. Indiana Jones is still a subject of debate among archaeologists, whether the influence of these films is positive or negative has not been determined. The argument for these films has a negative influence stating that this reflects poorly on the ground, one prominent individual with this opinion is Anne Pyburn. Pyburn describes Indiana Jones's influence as an elitist and sexist one, he went on to say that the Indiana Jones film has led to new discoveries in the field of archeology to be overly simplified and exaggerated in an effort to gain public attention that archeologically negative impacts as a whole. Eric Powell, an editor with Archeology magazine, was quoted as saying "OK, well, this movie romanticizes what we do," goes on to say that "Indy may be a terrible archaeologist, but he is a great diplomat for archeology. saw an increase in children who wanted to become archaeologists. "In an article written by Kevin McGeoughs, a professor of archeology, he described the original archaeological criticism of the film as missing the core of the film. Further saying that the various criticisms of the poor excavation techniques used are plot features to make the film more enjoyable and thus not trying to push the agenda. He finished by saying, "Dramatic interest is what is at stake, and it is unlikely the film will change to promote and develop better archaeological techniques".
A 2007 survey conducted at Lycoming College aims to examine public perceptions of archeology and how the archaeologist looks. The results of this survey show that most participants all form a similar image of an archaeologist, the painted image is one of a man dressed in light khaki clothes, wearing an "Indiana Jones hat" and will usually be found in the desert. or exotic locations. In addition, individuals illustrate that archaeologists have the potential to become destructive or engage in dangerous situations in order to get the desired artifact, showing the adventurous personality.
Fandom
While he is a tribute to previous adventurers, the Indiana Jones aspect also directly affects some of the next characterizations:
- Lara Croft, the female archaeologist of the Tomb Raider series, was originally designed as a man but converted into a woman, partly because the developers felt the original design was too similar to Indiana Jones. Paramount Pictures, which distributes the Indiana Jones film series, will later make two movies based on the game's
game. The video game producer Prince of Persia (2008), Ben Mattes, explains that "his inspiration is whatever Harrison Ford has done: Indiana Jones, Han Solo." - The video game series Uncharted is also heavily influenced and inspired by Indiana Jones. The protagonist, Nathan Drake, also shares many similarities with Jones's self, both visually and personally. The design team felt the sources shared a mystery theme and a "what-if" scenario that romanticized the adventure and aimed to include them on Uncharted .
- The Lego Johnny Thunder character comes from Indiana Jones, among other influences. For one, he is Australian (like Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter). His clothes are different too, as he sports a humpback hat instead of a fedora, a red bandana, and a brown shirt. Plus, he has a mustache and a visible beard.
- NetHack roguelike features the role of archaeologist, an adventurer who starts the game with a trademark fedora, a bullwhip, and a leather jacket.
- Montezuma Revenge The character of Panama Joe (who was originally a Mexican named Pedro) shares many similarities with Indy http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/5/3/0/45530_front However, it is a coindence because of Jaeger or Parker brooch. know about Indy at that time http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_robert_jaeger.html
- Also Montezuma's Return! the character of Max Montezuma (or at least in the Game Boy/Game Boy color version) shares many similarities with Indy as well
- Blizzard Entertainment pays great respect to the Indiana Jones characters in their MMO game World of Warcraft . The character of 'Harrison Jones' (named after the character of the film and the actor who portrayed it) is the nominal leader of a league of archaeologists who oppose various evil villains in situations that refer to various films. The same 'Harrison Jones' appeared on their CCG hearthstone, along with the Indiana/Harrison trademark hat.
