oh well, I cannot wait for these DVD's!

I heard that in a move to get the younger crowd, the dvd version will feature Heath Ledger as Indy and Mel Gibson as his father. Some small reshoots may be necessary...

&nbsp I agree. &nbsp A digital restoration is one thing, changing or altering the content is another. &nbsp I don't mind them removing mistakes, but please don't go changing things like the title in Raiders.

Anyone want to bet that the Indy trilogy will be released as a 3-Disc set only?

A 3-disc Indy set is fine by me. Woo-hoo.

I'm humming the theme already.

It sounds to me like they are really gonna put the effort into this to make sure it is indeed a fabulous set. I can't wait.

If they want to add scenes, fine by me, if they want to correct mistakes, fine by me. As long as it's Speilberg and Lucas doing it, and not a studio.

I'd like the option of the original as well, of course. If it was changed to the point I don't like it anymore (like ET) then I'd be annoyed, but respect the creators for being able to do what they want with their movies.

Add scenes? Like what? Indiana talks to Jabba the Hutt and steps on his tail?

Now THAT'S humor.

Seriously?

Beats me Kerbours. Since Indiana Jones wasn't limited very much by technology, time or money in it's production I doubt there's anything. I'm just saying If I made a movie and later wanted to change it, then it'd be in my rights since it's my movie. I'd include the original for the fans though, since it's possible through seamless branching and what not

Hear here. This has always bugged me.

Somebody care to enlighten me about this whole "snake reflection" thing please?

When indy falls into the snake pit and is staring a open fanged snake in the face you could see the reflection of indy's face on the glass that is seperating the two.. it is very noticable.

Well, no, obviously. It was something called irony.

Its about time these were released, just one more trilogy to go and everything will be complete.

Umm is it me or was i the only one who has never noticed these 'mistakes'?

Granted i have not seen Raiders in years,let alone in OAR yet. Yet the only 'mistakes' i've noticed in the other films(saw them on tv in WS recently) were the matte lines in a few scenes. Yet on biggie for me. In fact the obvious mattes add alittle bit of charm to the scene.

Sort of like jerky stop motion. I don't want it 'cleaned up' to run 'smoothly' since it already works perfect as it is.

Still if all they are doing is 'erasing mistakes' that were'nt that noticeable to begin with. Then it's no big deal yet i think still a waste of $$$$.


As long as the films themselves are not changed content wise. I will be buying the set. Yet if there are any PC altertations. Then screw you guys...i'm buying the laserdiscs!

Just because YOU didn't notice those mistakes doesn't mean the rest of us didn't. the mirror reflection is very clear to see as well as some of those other mistakes. Besides, you should already own the Laser Disc.

Quick question. Is this true? I saw the film five times back in '77, and as far as I can remember, the first thing to scroll up was "Episode IV: A New Hope"

Or are you refering to the title only?

Now, hopefully there won't be another mishap, ala the BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY misframing...

This just in ... Marion Ravenwood's drinks to be digitally changed to Kool-Aid ...

The "Episode IV; A New Hope" subtitle was first added to Star Wars in a 1979 re-release. I recall it like it was yesterday.

Never noticed the snake reflection thing until I read this thread. Damnit! Well at least it'll be fixed now!

Pics?

This was what I was thinking. I hope they do take care of some of those problems. I've seen these movies dozens of times, and the more I've watched them the more it's become about seeing these errors than watching the movie. Hopefully they'll be gone for the DVD release.

No one has mentioned the clearly visible rod which held/rolled the boulder yet?

Yes, that's true. Although there always seem to be a group of people who *swear* that it was always titled Episode IV.

There's a Time Magazine article from 1980 that confirms that the 'IV' subtitle was added in '79.



My $.02. In general, I'd prefer that they just released the films as-is. They've been fine for the past 20+ years, why bother tinkering now?

That being said, if they want to remove wire work, matte lines, the reflection, and other obvious gaffes like that, I can live with it. I just don't want to see these things altered to become a huge CGI fest. Removing errors? OK. Altering FX shots to look "better"? Not OK, in my opinion.

Toht's face melting looks just fine as-is, thank you very much.
