Languages

I don't know where the list of languages that Indiana Jones can speak came from, but can't we also assume that some Indian language? he translates the village elder's speech in Temple of Doom from some Indian language. It seems like he may also know Sanskrit and Latin...

The fourth film

A fourth movie is in production. Shall we implement parts of the new story?

Not yet, as nobody outside of the production has seen or heard of a script or title. We have no idea with Indy will be doing.

Canon

I don't think we should be treating all the Young Indiana Jones stuff as canon. IMO, only the original three movies and potential fourth movie should be treated as such.

I'm of the same opinion. But, first, it's only an opinion, and second, Young Indiana Jones is about the same character. We could possibly create The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and add the information it revealed about his past there instead. --Mrwojo 14:34, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"...about the same character..." Then we should possibly include the games as well. But if we're going to do that there must be an easy way for the reader to know where different parts are coming from, especially because not all readers might have the same ideas on what canonical is in this case (and what is not).

We should cover the games, literature, and anything else that significantly involves the character. Noting the source sounds like a good idea. --Mrwojo 13:26, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Has Lucasfilm or Paramount even created a canon policy for the Indiana Jones series? The Wookieepedian 15:20, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Title of the fourth movie

I always heard it was to be called Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent rather than Indiana Jones 4. Of course this would be a reference to Atlantis. Redwolf24 9 July 2005 01:10 (UTC)

Well, Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent is what Daily Mail claimed Indy IV would be called when they ran a story back in 1994 about a fourth Indiana Jones film where Sandra Bullock would play Indy's sidekick. Since then rumours have had it that the fourth installation in the Indiana Jones saga would be called Indiana Jones and the Sons of Darkness, Indiana Jones and the Monkey King, Indiana Jones and the Garden of Life, Raiders of the Fallen Empire, Indiana Jones: The Law of One, Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men from Mars, Indiana Jones and the Sword of Arthur and Indiana Jones and the Red Scare. Harrison Ford recently joked and said that it would be called Indiana Jones and The Opal of the Mer-Man Prince. --Whitestreet 15:26, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing Harrison is about 100 now, it ought to be Indiana Jones & The Electric Walker. Trekphiler 01:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template

That template is horrible, its all wrong. The first film was never called Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, that was just on the video boxset to make it fit with the dodgy TV series. The title was just Raiders of the Lost Ark and it should be shown that way on any template. JW 23:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that it what Lucas retitled it (I know, he didn't in the DVD or any past prints). It's similar to the star wars situation. Although Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released as simply "Star Wars," that is not what he wanted it to be titled, so he changed the name. I'm sure he felt the same way about the Indy films. The movie was retitled to fit in with the titles of the other two theatrical films. The template actually seems much more organized and chronological now, in my opinion. I guess next you'll remove the fact that I refer to the Young Indy Series as Chapters 1-22, and the trilogy 23-25 in the main article. Hmm... it reminds me of the purists over in the star wars articles. TheAlternateReality 02:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars is slightly different because the title of the first film is used to describe the whole series, so "Episode IV" at least serves a purpose in clarifying which Star Wars film. It was also re-released as Star Wars: Episode IV, etc in 1981 and the on-screen credits have been changed so it now always appears under that name. Raiders, though, was never released under the title Indiana Jones and... and the title on the film is still the original one. Pretending its called Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark doesn't really serve any purpose. JW 11:14, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that, like Star Wars, Raiders has to fit ijn with the other movies and the TV show. Star Wars was renamed A New Hope to keep the name consistant with what would be its prequels and sequels. The same with Raiders. The Wookieepedian 15:24, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Like a Whip

Anybody care Indy's whip was auctioned @US$74000 awhile ago? Trekphiler 01:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Indiana Jones fiction

The comprehensive list of all known Indiana Jones media somewhat bisects the article, making readers skim through the middle until they hit the "Rides" or "Origins" sections. I think it would be best to create List of Indiana Jones fiction (or similar) as a copy of the "Appearances" section and keep only a more readable summary here (i.e., anything in the section that's in paragraph form). The link to the list would be prominently displayed by {{Main}} or {{Details}}. --Mrwojo 07:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
