Mystery of the Blues - Harrison Ford in YIJ

[TheIntruders]

That Chevy truck would have been brand spanking new in 1950 and that color was not factory. The '50 Merc that was chasing it has a non-original two-tone paint scheme as well.

[psychicwhoosh]

Just think, a mere 7 years later Indy would discover the existence of aliens, marry Marion Ravenwood, and learn that Shia LaBeouf is his son...and part tree monkey evidently.

[buttercremehonda]

"They've got guns."

"Yes Indy. AND?"

[edrocks4]

I don't know why people are complaining about the music. If you listen it plays only when Harrison Ford is playing Indy. It's supposed to show that young indy isn't the Indy we know yet

[sheshiechan]

Oh wow I think I saw a young Lafayette at 0:12 :P

[knowpassword]

Show would have done emmensly (spelled wrong) better if harrison did openings for most if not all episodes and lucas used the real indy theme from the movies for opening credits

[wchblade]

Does anyone else think that the announcer at the beginning sounds like Seth McFarlane?

[DrHenryWaltenJonesJr]

THE MOST EPIC ARTIFACT RETREIVAL I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!

[shaunmalley]

That terrible knockoff score stopped me from enjoying this show. Shallow I know, but come on! George Lucas has more money than Jesus yet he's too cheap to pay for a theme he essentially commissioned!?

[cyryc]

@shaunmalley Umm.. heh.. I think most of the people in the history of the world have had more money than Jesus.

[NICEDOPPY]

Marvelous chapter of the series YICH. Harrison Ford unbeatable original Indy!! God Bless George Lucas!!

[BROKENHOUSEFILMS]

harrison is never too old to be indy

[BobbyPW]

ROFL how did he know what note to play to make the snow fall?! Indy must have perfect pitch!

[anakinbinks]

When the storm's catching up to them at 2:43, is that the same wind sound used in ESB on Hoth? Me thinks it is!

[arcaperdida]

Genial!!! Es como que el fugitivo se hubiera vestido de Indiana Jones.

José Luis Valenzuela Cerda.

[filmmaker456]

Im ready for Indy 5

[BuellerBueller95]

7 years before crystal skull, and i hear raiders soundtrack

[southport97]

Too bad this show wasn't made today. It would look awesome in HDTV format.

[PACIFICA2009]

They should include this epsiode as a bonus feature in the upcomming indiana jones bluray set.

[deevos2514]

Nothing can ever beat that classic indiana jones punching sound effect.

[miraeja]

this was awful

[SpiderBoy992]

be in mind people, that man with indy WAS poncho-vila, the man Indy mentions when he's with mutt williams in KOTCS which takes place at least 2-5 years after this episode....

[captross07]

@SpiderBoy992 two problems:

1.) The man indy is with is Native American, not Mexican.

2.) It's set in 1950. Pancho Villa was assassinated in 1923.

Try doing a little research before attempting to sound smart.

[WataAtaCrackah]

WTF? 2:34 Indy's jacket is zipped up and at 2:39 it's open

[MrSherlockWatson]

@WataAtaCrackah good eye mate

[EmpireLS56KW]

The music is corny because it just doesn’t fit the action I mean the Nazi piece, are those Nazis chasing Indiana Jones or just boys from outer of town? This is total pants never liked the Young Indiana Jones.

[DragonD13]

Hey! The Arbiter is in this!

[gundammon]

"Well, things can't always be the way you want 'em to be..."

(pwns the bad guys)

"...But sometimes they are."

This is the main reason I never liked Carrier or Flannery in the role; Ford always found a way, the other two just kind of let the plot happen.

[F0Xhound009]

he did this one episode when the show was at the peek of it's success. I remember this got popular for a little bit couldn't wait each week to watch it. then all of a sudden it just stopped

[ndnsoldierboy]

*lol*

[daustin8888]

Indiana Jones is freakin epic! Forget Benjamin Gates, forgot Lara Croft, and just laugh at the square called Rick O' Connell. Indy is the king of adventure.

(Although, Nathan Drake is awesome too)

[walecs2]

@daustin8888

Anyway, Lara Croft and Benjamin Gates were inspired by Indiana Jones. Their makers said it.

[KRATOSRETURNSv2]

This episode with Harrison is million times better than the crystal skull....

[elianagrimaldi]

i had never seen this chapter!!...well, actually i was a little girl when i used to watch some chapters in the tv...thank you!!!! =)

[halonarutofan280]

damn this takes place before Crystal Skull Now we know wat he did in that huge time gap

[scottb3034]

Wow, star studded cast, Harrison Ford, Jeffrey Wright (Felix Leiter in the recent Bond films) and Keith David.

[scottb3034]

I meant star studded for this episode.

[philyburkhill1]

This was better than the Crystal Skull.

[IncredibleFulk1]

Just seeing Harrison Ford in Young Indiana Jones makes this show feel more like Indiana Jones. That's a great feeling. For some reason his line at the end of this episode stuck to me. "Things can't always be the way you want them to be. But sometimes they are." Good stuff.

[juliusyeung0330]

that was quite cheesy

[telltaleturtle]

AWESOME! Why did George cut these out of the latest DVD releases?

[hjbit]

the beard just doesnt fit.

[emerpus01]

That was awesome. God damn I can't believe I haven't seen any of these shows.

[EclipseFilm100]

I love this one, probably the best bookend of young indy and it's actually somewhat like the movies!

[TokerTom]

That was terrible, but still better than Crystal Skull.

[GrandAdmiralThrong]

I love Harrison Ford doing this, but I think he deserved better dialogue to work with a more harrowing chase.

[andraken]

So Harrison took the Indiana Jones costume not so long after the original movies, all at all, as we all believe by seeing him on the set of Indy4

[Beowulf1ca]

well, i guess its a little redundent but... isn't it in 1950 when Indy meets Mutt Williams in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

[kuddenchristo]

Indy meets Mutt in 1957.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@Beowulf1ca the series is non canon to the movies otherwise they would have shown clips of river phoenix as young indy chasing after the cross of coronado in last crusade.

[Superstarseven]

@Shanethefilmmaker The series is canon.

[Noahrussell8]

The reason why Harrison Ford has a beard in this indiana jones film is because this was filmed in 1993 the same year they were filming The Fugitive And Harrison didnt have time to shave it off.

[walecs2]

@Noahrussell8

I didn't know.

[walecs2]

@Noahrussell8 I saw that film, Harrison is awesome, the adventure is his role. He's my favourite actor.

[MartialArtsSuperStar]

@Noahrussell8 But also when you think aout it it pays good homage to Indy's father..lol Kinda like Luke takin' on the Obi-Wan look in the later stories..lol

That's me grasping at straws

[MrSherlockWatson]

@Noahrussell8 Finally somone who knows why

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@Noahrussell8 hey only harrison ford (and to an extent river pheonix) are worthy enough to have the original theme played in their scenes in this video. 

[movierocks]

At the time of KOTS Harrison is of course roughly eight-ten years older than his character is supposed to be but there is about a 14 year gap from when this was filmed up till the time of KOTS.

[movierocks]

Well, the character of Indiana was born in 1899 in Princeton, New Jersey. You can find out about that info on wikipedia and several cannon books. The scene in here takes place in 1950 meaning Indy is 51. The actual episode came out in 1993 meaning Harrison was 51 as his dob is July 1942. Keep in mind that Crystal Skull takes place when Indy is 57/58 in 1957 and in real time Harrison was 65 during filming.

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

What they should have done was make a TV series with Ford that actually has to do with archeology and dignified Indy adventures.

[jigsawpuzzle67]

Looks like the * hartwell story *

[alucard624]

I wonder if this whole segment with Indy at the beginning and end of the episode is still considered canon even though its still on the dvd version. I only ask due to how he looks here compared to KOTCS status. Maybe we the fans might get a full story explaining this adventure at the beginning some day. It was great to see Harrison Ford as Indy again back then too.

[Digginjim]

Lots of music cues stolen from Raiders and remixed in a bizarre way! Love the fact its supposed to be 1950 and Indy looks a LOT younger than he does in KOTCS (1957)...

[DaMoonWalker12]

alot can happen in seven years..between 1950 nd 1957

[mightyguyver]

this was apparantly filmed in 1993 when harrison ford was roughly 49 or 50 and KOTCS hes in his mid 60's so he naturally looks younger

[greciasoleble]

when i was kid i usually watch this tv series, was amazing but i never seen this episode, Harrison Ford is great, Indy rocks!!!

[walecs2]

Harrison Ford is the best Indy!

[jarhead1292]

who else is there that's played indy besides the kids?

[wondercast]

@walecs2 Harrison Ford is the ONLY Indy.

[walecs2]

@wondercast I know.Wow! My comment got 15 thumb up!

[ignoranceandwant]

Thanks for posting. The segment doesn't begin badly, but that ending was so horrible! No wonder I only watched maybe two episodes of YIJ before ditching it, and that's when I was probably at the height of my Indiana Jones obsession.

[Rosiercentral]

Can anyone upload this episode, please? The entire episode?

[wee3268]

thanks for posting i watched the moveies and the new one. when it will be halloween i will be indy

[AdobeExcel]

he had a beard because at that time he was filming the fugitive i think.

[micw1]

JonesKW wrzuc to lepiej na jakies sciaganie bo to sie tu marnuje! Albo przeslij mi na maila. Musze to miec!

[ADUProductions]

Great stuff Jones!  Thanks for posting.
