 The Indiana Jones Trilogy (4 DVDs)
 The Indiana Jones Trilogy (4 DVDs) ... ... / DVD released 20 October, 2003 at Paramount Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Box set, PAL, Subtitled / As with George Lucas's other movie franchise, there's a vein of mysticism running through the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Watching all three back-to-back it's possible to unravel the chronology and chart the spiritual journey of our hero: the idealistic Young Indy ("It belongs in a museum", implores River Phoenix in the opening escapade of The Last Crusade) grows up to become a cynical fortune-hunter seen trading archaeological treasures with Chinese gangsters at club "Obi-Wan" in The Temple of Doom. From there we follow his path to redemption via three mystical religious objects: respectively Hindu (the Shankara stones in Temple of Doom), Jewish (the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders), and Christian (the Holy Grail itself in Last Crusade). But that's just the subtext. Along the way, this knight-errant archaeologist undertakes improbable adventures (featuring spiders, snakes, rats, insects and Nazis galore), rescues damsels in distress (even when they really don't want to be rescued, such as Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom), and still finds time to bond with his dad (Sean Connery, in one of cinema's great cameo roles as Dr Jones Sr.) Steven Spielberg revels in Lucas's recreation of 1930s cliff-hanger serials, infusing every scene with kinetic energy and infectious enthusiasm and creating any number of iconic sequences that have become touchstones of cinematic history. Director and producer are more than ably assisted by regular composer John Williams, whose swashbuckling Korngold-inspired "Raiders" theme casts Harrison Ford as a modern-day Errol Flynn. Although a fourth movie is promised, this trilogy plays like a self-contained whole that leaves nothing wanting: from the witty dialogue and breathtaking action choreography to the near-perfect casting, this is popular movie-making at its very peak. On the DVD: The Indiana Jones Trilogy four-disc box set, as has been widely noted, contains the slightly edited version of The Temple of Doom--1 min 6 seconds of cuts according to the BBFC--though this is exactly the same version that was originally shown in UK cinemas and released on video (missing is a bit of extra blood and gore during the heart-ripping scene). By way of compensation, the digitally remastered anamorphic 2.35:1 picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound for all three movies are joyfully impressive, the screen crammed full of colour and rich detail accompanied by one of Hollywood's most glorious soundtracks. The fourth bonus disc contains about three hours of additional material, most of which can be found in the new 127-minute documentary that takes the viewer chronologically through the making of the series and includes plenty of interviews and fascinating nuggets of background information. There are also independent featurettes "From the Lucasfilm Archives" on John Williams's music, the sound design, stuntwork and the special effects. There are subtitles in various European languages. --Mark WalkerNewest Review: ... want the film to end and I will admit to this day now (I am 23), I could still watch it over and over again. It had fantastic ... more ... sound and visual effects and all the actors were amazing. This film was so popular it led to three additional films (Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as well as The Young Indiana Jones chronicles television series.

Indiana Jones is a character that the vast majority of people are familiar with and this boxset contains the original trilogy of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", "Temple Of Doom" and "The Last Crusade", three epic and wonderfully iconic films that should be in everyone's collection.

Indiana Jones, played by the wonderful Harrison Ford, is a professor of history and archaeology in the 1930's who has adventures on the side, tracking down priceless artifacts that are ...

Whips,chains,maidens,heroes,nazis action and adventure! What more could you want from a film, ok then three films and a bonus DVD of special features. Grab your dusty old fedora and bullwhip folks cos Dr Jones is in town. It is difficult for me to know where to start with this review because I love the whole Indiana Jones experience. He is the action hero of the 1950's Saturday morning cinema,brought bang up to date....well sort of (more about my only gripe later) . Dr Jones is an archetypal archaeologist. he works in a university,he wears glasses and mumbles about relics of old. But at weekends he wears a dress and calls himself Mandy. Dr Indiana ...
