Raiding the Lost Ark: Recovering The Gospel Of The Covenant King

Product Information

Voller is informed by Agent Mason that they found Helena and Indy, but they escaped. Instead of flying to Los Angeles to collect a medal from the President, Voller secures a private charter that takes him, Klaber and Hauke to Tangier, Morocco. Oberst Hermann Dietrich ( Wolf Kahler) is an arrogant German Army officer who serves as the head of the Tanis excavation project. He was chosen by Hitler due to his ruthless efficiency. Dietrich expresses doubt over Belloq's desire to perform a "Jewish ritual" with the Ark and also refers to Captain Katanga as a "savage", due to the captain hinting at selling Marion Ravenwood into slavery. He is killed when the Ark is opened, the sheer heat causing his head to shrivel and melt. A fictionalized version of Mata Hari. She appears in the episode "Paris, October 1916" (later edited into the second half of the film Demons of Deception), penned by Carrie Fisher. Mata enters into a sexual relationship with Indiana Jones (taking his virginity), during his brief stay in Paris. Mata Hari was portrayed by Domiziana Giordano. Belloq was intended to be a sophisticated villain to counter the "beer-drinking" hero. [12] Spielberg cast Freeman after seeing him in the docudrama Death of a Princess (1980); Freeman's piercing eyes had captivated him. [41] Giancarlo Giannini and singer Jacques Dutronc were also considered. [31] [41] Danny DeVito was approached to portray Sallah, described as a skinny, 5ft (1.5m) tall Egyptian like Gunga Din in Gunga Din (1939). [31] [41] DeVito could not participate because of scheduling conflicts with his sitcom Taxi and because his agent wanted too much money. [19] [41] Rhys-Davies was cast based on his performance in the 1980 miniseries Shōgun. Spielberg asked him to play the character as a mix of his Shōgun role and the character John Falstaff. [19] [31] Ronald Lacey was cast as Toht because he reminded Spielberg of actor Peter Lorre. [15] Klaus Kinski was offered the role but chose to appear in the horror film Venom (1981) because it offered more money. [15] Filming [ edit ] On-set filming location, Elstree Studios (pictured 2009) in Hertfordshire, England.

In an early script of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, called Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars, written by Jeb Stuart, Short Round (now an adult) was set to appear in the wedding of Indy and Dr. Elaine McGregor, alongside Sallah, Marion Ravenwood, and Willie Scott, but the script was scrapped by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

George Lucas was interested in producing a spin-off centered on Mutt and his own adventures, with Indiana in a supporting role. However, Lucas later retracted a statement on the possibility of a spin-off series or LaBeouf taking over as the lead of the Indiana Jones series, stating " Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, no Harrison means no Indy".

[65] Chief Guard [ edit ] He is still searching for the first half of the Dial, stolen by Indy in 1944. His accomplices in the CIA find where Helena Shaw is, which is at Hunter College with Indy. The novelization of the movie reveals Belloq became Indiana's foe at graduate school, when he plagiarized his essay on stratigraphy, thus winning an award that rightfully belonged to Indiana. Another encounter in 1934 is detailed, when Indiana spends months preparing a dig in Rub' al Khali, only to arrive and discover Belloq has excavated the region. [14] Indiana also encounters Belloq in two novels by Max McCoy, set before the films, in which Jones and Belloq meet for the first time (contradicting the novelization of Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Belloq gives Indiana information for locating a crystal skull.

Last on

Spielberg hated the name Indiana Smith, believing it would remind audiences of the Steve McQueen character Nevada Smith. All three men agreed to use "Jones" instead. [12] [30] Actors Clint Eastwood and Toshiro Mifune, and the James Bond character, were the basis of Jones' own. [12] [28] Lucas wanted Jones to be a kung fu practitioner and a playboy, funding his lifestyle with the spoils of his adventures, but Spielberg and Kasdan felt the character was complicated enough being an adventurer and archaeologist. [12] [17] [30] Spielberg suggested making Jones an avid gambler or an alcoholic, but Lucas wanted Jones to be a role model who is "honest and true and trusting." [12] [30] Both men felt it was important Jones be fallible, vulnerable, and as capable of comedic moments as well as serious ones. They intended him to be someone the audience could relate to and idolize. [27] Lucas suggested Marion would have a romantic past, at the age of 11, with the much older Jones; Spielberg replied, "she had better be older". [21] In the novelization of the story, it is stated that Indiana's final showdown with Panama Hat began because he got word from a worker of the villain that his boss had an affair with his wife and he wanted revenge. Jones realized it was a set-up and was told by Panama Hat that he had been hit badly by the Great Depression and was auctioning off the cross to wealthy buyers. He got one deal from a buyer with a provision that said he had to kill Jones. Indy would later suspect the buyer was Walter Donovan.
