Raiding the Lost Ark: Recovering The Gospel Of The Covenant King

Product Information

Basil Shaw ( Toby Jones) is an Oxford professor of archaeology and Helena's deceased father, who fought with Indy during the Second World War, and was eventually driven mad by the Antikythera. [113] Jones is the real-life son of late actor Freddie Jones, who played Birdy Soames in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, she does not appear physically, but appears in a photo in Indy's office. In an early script of the film called Indiana Jones and the Saucermen of Mars, written by Jeb Stuart, Willie was set to appear in Indy and Dr. Elaine McGregor's wedding, along with Sallah, Short Round, and Marion Ravenwood, but the script was rejected. In another early script, Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, written by Frank Darabont, Scott was set to be mentioned by Indy, but this script was also rejected. Abner was set to appear along his daughter Marion in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but George Lucas scrapped the idea. In the early scripts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Fedora was intended to be Abner, but the idea was rejected. Abner was intended to appear in the canceled third season of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, when a ten-year-old Indiana meets him searching for the Ark on the Temple Mount. [21] The canceled Dark Horse Comics limited series Indiana Jones and the Lost Horizon was going to depict him and Indiana recovering the headpiece to the Staff of Ra in Tibet in 1926. Artist Hugh Fleming modeled Abner's appearance on actor Wilford Brimley, and the series would explain that Abner taught Indiana to behave cynically with others, so that they would not think he was crazy if he mentioned his encounters with the supernatural. [22] The character was also intended to appear in the 2003 video game Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (set in 1935, before Temple of Doom) but the developers of the game deemed his role as Indy's partner "too unwieldy". [51] Introduced in Temple of Doom [ edit ] Willie Scott [ edit ] Willie in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom In the series, Indiana is shown to have a strong relationship with his mother, whom he calls "the sweetest, smartest, most wonderful woman who ever lived". [75] In the unaired episode "Florence, May 1908" (later released as part of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: The Perils of Cupid), Anna briefly has an affair with composer Giacomo Puccini. She also reveals she is from Virginia. [76] Although it is explained she died of scarlet fever in the series, [77] it is contradicted in new footage shot for the 1999 re-edit, where Indiana explains she died of influenza. [78] In The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones, it is stated that Anna died on March 3, 1912, aged 33 years. In Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils (1991), Indiana Jones and Deirdre Campbell marry, before the latter is killed in a plane crash.a b c d e "TSR Unpainted Metal Miniatures". CoolToyReview.com.

Wu Han ( David Yip) is an old friend of Indiana Jones who holds Lao Che and his sons at gunpoint during the meeting at Club Obi Wan. He is shot and killed by Lao's son Chen. Max McCoy's prequel novel Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs detailed how Wu first met Indiana in 1914, during his trip to China with his father. Years later, he is studying political science when his parents and sister die in an influenza outbreak. Their ashes wind up in the possession of Lao, who uses the promise of a proper burial to force Wu into servitude. In 1933, Indiana meets Wu in Shanghai on his way to Mongolia, and steals his family's ashes from Lao, securing his old friend's freedom. Indiana inspires him to study archaeology upon his return to school. [15] Wu also aids Indiana in the 2003 video game Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, set just before Temple of Doom. He regularly arranges Jones's transportation. [56] Short Round [ edit ] A 6-inch (15cm) action figure and an unpainted metal miniature of Mola Ram was released in 1984.

[64] A "One Coin" (caricature) figure of Mola, standing 1.97-inch (5.0cm) was released in Japan in 2008. [65] Chief Guard [ edit ] In 2017, Dial of Destiny writer David Koepp revealed that the character will not return in the fifth film.

[2] Spielberg hated the name Indiana Smith, believing it would remind audiences of the Steve McQueen character Nevada Smith. All three men agreed to use "Jones" instead. [12] [30] Actors Clint Eastwood and Toshiro Mifune, and the James Bond character, were the basis of Jones' own. [12] [28] Lucas wanted Jones to be a kung fu practitioner and a playboy, funding his lifestyle with the spoils of his adventures, but Spielberg and Kasdan felt the character was complicated enough being an adventurer and archaeologist. [12] [17] [30] Spielberg suggested making Jones an avid gambler or an alcoholic, but Lucas wanted Jones to be a role model who is "honest and true and trusting." [12] [30] Both men felt it was important Jones be fallible, vulnerable, and as capable of comedic moments as well as serious ones. They intended him to be someone the audience could relate to and idolize. [27] Lucas suggested Marion would have a romantic past, at the age of 11, with the much older Jones; Spielberg replied, "she had better be older". [21]
