What if... Indiana Jones invaded other genres?
He's done Sci-Fi. So why not Bollywood?
Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Dance
The Plot: Indiana Jones is back in India. But this time he’s not there to find antiques or save mine-slaves, he’s there to learn how to shake his stuff, Bollywood style.
Containing a one-shot 45-minute dance sequence, this is Indiana Jones as you’ve never seen him before.
Harrison Ford died during the making of this movie, the least you could do is go and see it.
Sample Quote: “Indiana, I can't say how the gods of dance will judge you. But, I do know if I meet you again, in another life, I will not be able to resist you.”
Indiana Jones And The Breakfast Club Of Doom
The Plot: The geek, the princess, the rebel, the jock, the outcast, the archaeologist.
When Indiana has to oversee a Saturday detention at his university, he discovers that he’s got more in common with the kids than he thought.
They induct him into their gang, putting make-up on his face, teaching him how to dance to emo music and, as a result, Indy breaks down in tears when he talks about the tough relationship with his dad. Worth seeing for the final shot where Indy punches the sky alone.
Sample quote: (through sobs) “He only ever talked to me in wisecracks!”
Indiana Jones And The Legend Of Curlys Gold
The plot: Combining two incredible franchises, this is half Indiana Jones sequel, half City Slickers reboot. The result? The greatest film ever made.
You’ll laugh when Billy Crystal serves Harrison Ford snake pie! You’ll cry when Indiana lassos a baby calf with his whip, stopping it from drowning in a sea of gold! You’ll puke when the cowboy Nazi’s face melts! You’ll buy another ticket to see it again!
Sample quote: “Why did it have to be snake pie?”
