Young Indiana Jones - The Curse of the Jackal & Passion for Life hybrid cut [WiP]

Hello there! ☺️

So, recently I have slightly re-edited one of the Young Indiana Jones films (Love’s Sweet Song) for my next rewatch of the series and I decided to make a fanedit of the first film as well.

I’m not a fan of the first five films, with 10 yo Indy, and I usually skip those, but I also think that the first one works better as an introduction to the series than Spring Break Adventure.

• The main base for the edit is the original pilot - The Curse of the Jackal.
• I replaced most of the scenes with the DVD version, keeping mostly the Old Indy bookends.
• I kinda hate the Marroco storyline so I decided to remove it completely and replace it with the Africa part from the second film, Passion for Life (I just like it more + both take place in Africa).
• I was going to use the title card from My First Adventure, making a transition to the 1990s museum opening, but now, I prefer to use a new title.
• The new title will be The Age of Wonder or Winds of Africa. I didn’t decide yet.
• I removed some short scenes from My First Adventure to make the pace a bit faster.
• (I’m also considering leaving the original 90s title, The Curse of the Jackal)
• I added some of Old Indy’s narration from the original 90s episode in the background in the Africa closing scene to make the transition into the final bookend more smooth.

So, this edit is somehow a blend/hybrid cut of the original series pilot, My First Adventure and Passion for Life.
I’ve also used some shots from Paris 1908, but I may remove them after all.

It’s still in progress, so some things may still change and some ideas may evolve 🤠

May the force be with you all 🙌
