That's funny.

But I want the gun turret all the same. And Gundark still gets "shotgun."


But it DOES make me think- in the days before firearms, when someone wanted to ride in the passenger seat or side of something like a chariot or carriage, did they yell out "Crossbow!" or "Battleaxe!" or some such???

“Steven, it’s George, I’ve got Harrison on the other line. I’ve come up with a new plot outline for you to think about. OK, here goes - the date is 1959. Indy is one day from retirement at the university when he is asked to go on one last adventure by the us government. They were going to ask a younger more able bodied marine type but they thought 'what the hell'. The now adult 'short-round' joins the aging dr jones on his adventure, which this time involves 'commies' that have kidnapped the now geriatric Henry Jones because of his knowledge of space travel, and much 'I'm getting too old for this' dialogue ensues. At the end of the movie, Indy hands over his whip and hat to short round and says 'go-get-em, kid' and the new Indy mark 2 rides into the sunset, ready to take on the 1960s in a new computer effects laden trilogy (starring an asian, and therfore more politically correct hero). If we play our cards right we can have a new Indy every few years and sooner or later get up to the present day and beyond until we finally get to the story I've always wanted to tell, the way I really envisioned it - Indiana Jones:2099"

The SAD part is: this plot outline dosen't sound so distant of what GL wants to do.

About the adult Short-Round: remember when they wanted to do a sequel fro the Goonies, called "The Groonies"?

"The Groonies" was rumored at one point to be the name of a sequel to The Goonies. It is actually a misrepresentation of a description of a proposed sequel in which a bunch of kids, who hang out at Data's electronics shop (he's an adult, of course), are dubbed "The Groonies" by Data because, with his thick accent, he cannot properly pronounce "Goonies." It doesn't seem to ever have been intended to be the title. Yet some people spread the rumor that it was. Sad cultural joke.

The most recent actual title idea for the sequel, according to director Richard Donner, was "Goonies Never Say Die." Harry Knowles of AICN is a big proponent of this title although it doesn't look like the sequel will happen.

Here's some information, in reverse chronological order, about the sequel...

Maybe he could be all of them. Indiana Jones wakes up in 2099 to find that he is in fact a bionacally enhanced alien clone of the original Jones, and all the adventures we have watched over the years do not exist because he was just plugged into a VR machine all along.

LOL. Maybe that's what's wrong with GL! Actually I had written a short film treatment back in '97 about how GL had sold his soul to the devil after Howard the Duck came out, which is how he was able to rebound financially- but which is why his screws with everyone about the OT. Funny that 'South Park' came along and did basically the same thing. (and no, I'm not claiming they 'stole' my idea- I believe in coincidence- )

"South Park" merely made a parody of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with the SE version being the ark (when they see the movie, they all melt and stuff).
