unblemished & Satisfying : The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark / The Temple of Doom / The Last Crusade)
Saturday-morning serials were, on the whole, awful. Cheaply made, with numbingly unimaginative and repetitive plots, they were filler that encouraged weekly movie attendance. A 15-part "thriller" could be cranked out for $100K to $250K (the total running time was rarely more than 90 minutes), so it unquestionably returned its investment.
The worst thing about them was that, as "cliffhangers," very minute unquestionably hung over the cliff. The near-fatal situation the hero found himself in at the end of each lesson was revealed at the beginning of the next to be not particularly threatening, as he (or she -- think of Pearl White) had gotten out of the way _before_ the explosion, gun shot, rock fall, car crash, etc, etc.
In one Buster Crabbe serial there's no way he can _possibly_ fly death -- and, indeed, the occasion of the next lesson is a unblemished reshoot that allows him an escape! Yet the kids never seemed to learn, and came back week after week. The two Superman serials -- why hasn't Warners reissued them on Dvd? -- are well-above-average in this respect, as Supes could save the victim from just about any danger. Not to mention getting into a few tight spots himself.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was the Saturday-morning cliffhanger serial millions of kids deserved, but never got. It's the epitome of this genre, and is unlikely ever to be exceeded, let alone equalled. It delivers the real thrills those cheap serials didn't, and remains a hoot, especially when the Nazis get what they so richly deserve at the end.
Opinions on the sequels vary. "Temple of Doom" is a frightful adventure film, but many viewers objected to its dark tone (which was Spielberg's and Lucas's intent -- they didn't want to repeat the first film). Its real question isn't the violence (it's no more violent than "Raiders," which initially received an R rating for Belloc's head explosion), but its lack of any dramatic substance. It's 95% operation -- there's minute personal interaction or conflict. (Classic-serial fans will note that most of the "gags" are taken from a Republic serial, "Manhunt of difficulty Island." Which is one of the serials trashed in Firesign Theater's "Hot Shorts." It, too, deserves a Dvd issue.)
Anyone who doesn't enjoy "The Last Crusade" is nuts, because we have the great fun of seeing Sean Connery as Indy's father. Connery is that rare blend of a unquestionably good actor _and_ a legitimate "movie star," who steals every scene he's in. "Crusade" lacks the startling novelty of "Raiders," but it's the best-plotted of the three films, tightly connecting the Grail search with Indy's and his father's lives.
The transfers are wonderful, especially "Raiders," which has never looked so vivid and rich. Spielberg and Lucas haven't altered the films, not even changing the title card of the first (which now "officially" has the "Indiana Jones and the..." prefix). Nor, alas, have the extra effects been redone. You can still see the matte/Rotoscope lines, which are especially noticeable in the "supernatural" effects at the end of "Raiders." inspecting the full, (and sometimes unwelcome) changes Spielberg made to "E. T.", this is surprising.
The Indiana Jones movies are three wonderful excuses for fattening yourself on popcorn. The real stuff, not microwave.
