He didn't play Indiana in this series because he didn't want to be on TV, and he played in this episode to please Lucas but on the conditions that they would film only one day, not too far from his ranch in the Wyoming, and that he would keep his beard from "The Fugitive". Or so I heard. I'm not saying Harrison Ford doesn't care about the character, though, because I'm sure he loves/cares about the character.
That move with the saxophone and the snow at the end was so Indy. Go for the quick and efficient solution rather than a drawn out fight. Just like in Raiders haha
Gabriele Riva well if you take a look at some of the stuff on the indiana jones wiki it states that his father died in 1951 a year after this adventure. So my theory is that when his father died he just lost the will and went back to his old ways thinking that he was all alone and that he was the last jones (he wasn't)
IIRC this was shot either on or near his property in Montana over the Thanksgiving holiday. I read an article about is back in the day and it was like old home week for Ford and Lucas. They had fun riding snowmobiles when not shooting.
I think this episode was in part an homage to Joseph Campbell who worked his way through college playing jazz sax. This series was amazing, especially the WWI section which was something like 12 episodes, almost the entire war straight through Versailles.
Yeah the whole series I never really felt it captured Indiana Jones right. Harrison just is Indiana Jones. The young indy, old indy etc just didn't feel right.
That and the Infernal Machine. That's canon according to The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones. And it has all the Russians and other dimensional beings that they wanted in Crystal Skull, except it doesn't beat you over the head with it, i.e. flying saucer and Roswell greys. It still feels supernatural rather than obviously sci-fi.
@Starscream91 Didn't say they should. But they can still look to them and other media for good techniques, namely how to do aliens in Indiana Jones without a freaking cheesy flying saucer. They could have executed the story of Crystal Skull better is what I'm getting at.
@@zairman not liking new things and high expectations . while ill agree its not at good as the others. its a great movie and you just have to watch it not expecting the next raiders.
@@jakehouseholder4951 Harrison Ford is a notorious asshole who really hates fanboys and movie making in general. He's there for the paycheck and hates all the other shit that comes along with it.
@@xlDeathlxJosey he kinda do like Indiana character. But George Lucas and Steven Spielberg never had a enough good Story to make a movie around. They though they had the the Kingdoom of Crystal scull, but it never reall got a hit. I do like it though. hehe... Even though there are many things thats thats not really possible like surviving a nuke inside a refrigerator. lol. And now they seems to have a new good story to build a movie from. So Harrison has said yes for a fifth movie.
You know, the reason I like this segment so much is that it reminds me of the beginning of The Last Crusade. Not in the sense that it has a Young Indy, but that it shows the progression of the character in terms of his life experience as a kid shaping who he eventually becomes. Indy 1, 2, and 4 more less have Indy as a static character--3 and this section show Indy as a youth who wants to do the right thing, but it just doesn't work out. It's only until he grows up that he gets the life experience that lets him pull through and win in the end. In a way, Indy *losing* as a kid makes Indy winning as an adult all the better. If he would have always succeeded as a kid, it would've been a massive disservice to that character.
I've got to say that this episode had Harrison Ford, Jeffrey Wright, Keith David, Frank Vincent and even Jay "The Boy Who Could Fly" Underwood. What an episode!

I never watched young Indiana Jones but it’s probably the best scene in the entire series because it’s with Harrison Ford, my favourite actor and the only real and true Indiana Jones in my mind
Speaking of Lucas is he even involved with the 5th Indiana Jones? Spielberg may have relinquished directing but he staying on as a producer. Did Lucas the writer and creator comeback for this one even as a consultant?
@@Bull1908 the last info I had read made it sound like Lucas isn’t involved at all. When Spielberg was still slated to direct, I think he was working off a concept that only he and David Koepp were involved with

The cabin contained boxes of old household items and mementos. Things that belonged to whoever used to live there. One of the boxes contained a musical instrument called a saxophone. Indy had played a saxophone back when he was in college. So, while they were trapped in by the storm, he started playing, then told a story from when he was in college working as a waiter. The same time he learned to play the sax. He starts out narrating, then the normal episode plays, then it ends with Harrison.
They should have made three more Indy movies in 1992, 1995 and 1998 when Harrison was still able to do the role justice. They waited far too long and the result was Crystal Skull when he was too old. This clip was the last time Harrison had the Indiana Jones swagger.
@@derthilosoph1076 yep he had all the swaggar. Just some of the alien and swinging with monkeys segment was a bit ludicrous. Indy 4 still was up there with temple of doom but not as good as raiders and crusade
I agree Dan Charles Those Indiana Jones movies should Release 4th and 5th movies during 90s and before the Year 2008 Release should be Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
@Graphiar Lucas wrote some of the episodes and oversaw the story for the others, so I'd say he was fairly involved in the show. He had a lot more time to be involved in the show since he wasn't putting out movies, although ILM was doing the effects for Jurassic Park around the time of the second season. Speilberg, on the other hand, would have been busy directing Jurassic Park and Schindler's List at that time so I doubt he would have had the time to be involved in the show.
Couldn't have said it better myself hahah, I was searching the comments thinking am I the only one who thinks this?? He just picks up the saxophone and plays incredibly without moving his hands once then crushes them with snow from the roof haha whatever I appreciate it for what it is.
Man, his smile and facial expression at 7:33, as he's getting off the chair, remind me so much of Sean Connery. Makes them truly seem like father and son.
NO! I don't know how you got that idea!?! The odds of that being the same sax... well, I don't even need to elaborate. He finds the sax and has a nostalgic feeling because it reminds him of when he used to play one. Not because it's the exact same one. It makes him remember the good ol' days. As I said when I first responded to you, he finds the sax, it reminds him of his college days when he used to play one, and he starts reminiscing about that time period.
actually, River Phoenix turned down the part because he didnt want to go back to working on TV-series. He was Lucas's first choice for the role as young Indy in the series
I don't know why Lucas didn't just make a Young Indiana Jones feature film with river Phoenix using some of the scripts that never got made into Harrison Ford movies, like The Haunted Castle or The Monkey King.
Idk if you can understand what a BIG DEAL this was when it aired. Up to that point, "Young Indy" had an identity crisis. At the beginning, viewers were promised that the series was going to be the most epic & ambitious series ever produced & publications like "Starlog Magazine" were pushing the idea that every episode was going to be like an Indiana Jones movie. While it was clear that Lucas spared no expense & the production quality was incredible, fans were initially cold to it. It began at a present-day museum where a couple of the cheesiest kid actors sneak away from their school group only to be stopped by the campiest old guy playing old Indy teaching these whipper-snappers about the adventure of education with the hammiest dialog you can imagine. At this point, I was thoroughly embarrassed that I made my parents watch this instead of "Unsolved Mysteries". Without Harrison Ford, "Spielberg magic", & John Williams iconic Raiders March, this didn't feel very much like Indiana Jones, but the show slowly built a mediocre viewership. When it was advertised (HEAVILY advertised) that Ford was making a guest appearance, that was a dream come true. Just to see Ford on a TV show was momentous- he's a bona-fide movie star! Obviously, this aired during "sweeps week" (the time when ratings/shares needed to be maximized if a show was to survive for renewal). It was GLORIOUS to see Harrison Ford reprise Indy, with classic John Williams music to boot! Indy had a beard & long hair because he was filming "The Fugitive" at the time, but it only helped to give the appearance that we were catching up with him & time had passed since we last saw him. The whole thing worked & fans were largely satisfied & not disappointed.....but it wasn't enough to save the series. Lucas persuaded then President of Programming at ABC Bob Iger (familiar name?) to keep it on another year. He did & 20 years later when he was CEO of Disney, he would recall this generous favor to persuade Lucas to sell his company...but that's a whole other topic.
I've tried several times to watch Young Indy, & it loses me every time for 2 reasons. #1, the show never captured the feel of the Indiana Jones movies because it had no input from Spielberg & was helmed entirely by George Lucas. The same thing happened with the Star Wars prequels. They have nothing in common with the original trilogy because Lucas took over creative control. #2, which complements #1, Young Indy is not at all the same character as Harrison's Indy in the movies or even River Phoenix's Young Indy from the opening of Last Crusade. At least from the episodes I've seen, Sean Patrick Flannery's Indy feels like the dweeby nerd that's trying his hardest to be the cool kid & failing miserably. Phoenix's Indy was just a natural rebel who disregarded safety & consequences to do what he thought was the best course of action, regardless of what others warned.
I look at Young Indiana Jones as being like the ten+ years of training it takes for Bruce Wayne to get good enough to become Batman. It takes time to develop into the man that you want to be.
Skull started off great. It's LaBeouf that ruined that movie. Dude tanked it. They just can't make these types of films anymore. The technology has surpassed the craft of film making. Everything looks computer generated, like a video game and the acting is secondary. They don't make 'em like Ford anymore!
i totally agree,i actually have nothing against the alien concept either...LaBeouf was definitely mis-cast,the script was a joke and they "jumped the shark" in every action scene,or nuked the fridge in this case....they absolutely do not make 'em like Ford anymore,thats for sure!
Crystal Skull was a fantastic movie. Fanboys bitch about "lack of outdoor locations" and yet Temple Of Doom was shot almost entirely on sets. They complain that a fridge being blasted into the air by a nuke is less believable than a knight sitting in a room for 700 years waiting for treasure hunters to drink from a cup, a German plane flying into a tunnel or ghosts melting the faces off of Nazis. It's all about expectations and perspective.
i actually like the first half,its the second half where it all goes to shit,after they escape the russian camp with the (bad cgi)monkeys and chase through the jungle with the ants and river,in fact i really loved the whole ancient alien concept thing,it was just too over done and corny in my opinion,i just watched it again recently and what pisses me off the most is that it had the potential to be better than the first 3 but it was poorly scripted and over done with bigger fights and chases(cause an older indiana jones would have the energy for more stunts and fights than when hes in his 30s right?) and too much computer animation...im looking forward to the new one though,ill always go into a new Harrison Ford movie with optimism,especially if its Indy
@@Shanethefilmmaker Probably, and no I wont "give it a rest" they go too far, also this comment was 4 months ago and I havent said anything else so give it a rest yourself.

There were hundreds of them in their individual categories and thousands combining categories.

I was aware of his passing although didn't they film this episode in 1992? River Phoenix died in October 1993, more than a year later then when this episode was filmed.
I know but is the saxophone the same exact saxophone he learned how to play in college? Because he acts like that certain saxophone has some kind of special nostalgia as opposed to another saxophone? I'm asking is the saxophone he plays in 1950 the same one he played in 1918?
a 5 minute Harrison Ford cameo from young Indiana Jones Is still better then Kingdom of the crystal skull Hopefully the new director doesn’t fuck up indiana Jones 5 I heard rumours that it’s about the fountain of youth and they are gonna cgi Harrison to look young
Several shots here are clearly sped up, both in the car and out. They obviously looked at the footage in the editing suite and decided it looked too slow/ponderous for an action sequence.
is the indian guy with indy at start the same actor who played indian in outlaw josey wales opposite clint Eastwood? he looks like same actor but can't be sure.
This is literally like...a lost piece of Indiana Jones film I never even knew existed. How nostalgic and fantastic.
That's the same feeling I get when watching a deleted scene for the first time of any movie that I love.
Part of my childhood :)
I also like to thinbk that the old game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is also canon.

I liked how he had a beard here. It's the sort of thing he would've done, like his father does it.
Yes, this hinted at his character growing up... instead, in Crystal Skulls he had even the same SHIRT he had 20 years before...
Gabriele Riva well if you take a look at some of the stuff on the indiana jones wiki it states that his father died in 1951 a year after this adventure.

Its pretty imperative for getting those emotional high notes for the character.

indiana jones 3.4
Ok someone actually wrote that Indiana Jones plays a low note on the alto sax which causes hundreds of pounds of snow to fall off the roof 😆
I don't know why Lucas didn't just make a Young Indiana Jones feature film with river Phoenix using some of the scripts that never got made into Harrison Ford movies, like The Haunted Castle or The Monkey King.
Maybe because River Phoenix died in the early 90's?
@@curtyeomans8446 and even before he was heavy in the drugs.
First time I've seen this.....its killer!!
OMG this is amazing!
So Red Dead Redemption 2 got the idea for their opening for this!?
A cheesy story as a whole but I keep coming back to this because of 7:28-7:34. 6 seconds that show why Indy 4 should have been made in the 1990's.
Idk if you can understand what a BIG DEAL this was when it aired. Up to that point, "Young Indy" had an identity crisis. At the beginning, viewers were promised that the series was going to be the most epic & ambitious series ever produced & publications like "Starlog Magazine" were pushing the idea that every episode was going to be like an Indiana Jones movie. While it was clear that Lucas spared no expense & the production quality was incredible, fans were initially cold to it.
It began at a present-day museum where a couple of the cheesiest kid actors sneak away from their school group only to be stopped by the campiest old guy playing old Indy teaching these whipper-snappers about the adventure of education with the hammiest dialog you can imagine. At this point, I was thoroughly embarrassed that I made my parents watch this instead of "Unsolved Mysteries".
Without Harrison Ford, "Spielberg magic", & John Williams iconic Raiders March, this didn't feel very much like Indiana Jones, but the show slowly built a mediocre viewership.
When it was advertised (HEAVILY advertised) that Ford was making a guest appearance, that was a dream come true. Just to see Ford on a TV show was momentous- he's a bona-fide movie star!
Obviously, this aired during "sweeps week" (the time when ratings/shares needed to be maximized if a show was to survive for renewal). It was GLORIOUS to see Harrison Ford reprise Indy, with classic John Williams music to boot! Indy had a beard & long hair because he was filming "The Fugitive" at the time, but it only helped to give the appearance that we were catching up with him & time had passed since we last saw him. The whole thing worked & fans were largely satisfied & not disappointed.....but it wasn't enough to save the series. Lucas persuaded then President of Programming at ABC Bob Iger (familiar name?) to keep it on another year. He did & 20 years later when he was CEO of Disney, he would recall this generous favor to persuade Lucas to sell his company...but that's a whole other topic.
I've tried several times to watch Young Indy, & it loses me every time for 2 reasons.
#1, the show never captured the feel of the Indiana Jones movies because it had no input from Spielberg & was helmed entirely by George Lucas. The same thing happened with the Star Wars prequels. They have nothing in common with the original trilogy because Lucas took over creative control.
#2, which complements #1, Young Indy is not at all the same character as Harrison's Indy in the movies or even River Phoenix's Young Indy from the opening of Last Crusade.
At least from the episodes I've seen, Sean Patrick Flannery's Indy feels like the dweeby nerd that's trying his hardest to be the cool kid & failing miserably. Phoenix's Indy was just a natural rebel who disregarded safety & consequences to do what he thought was the best course of action, regardless of what others warned.
Such a cheesy little flick hahaha I love it
They had an early Jeffrey Wright here as well ! What a casting for a TV-episode !
When I hear him narrating I'm kinda thinking of Deckard from the theatrical cut of Blade Runner.
I wonder what Indiana jones was doing between 1938-1950
Joyous.
That was something else
here cuz of James and maso
EdNorty hey! Who ate all my piscetti?
anti-microbrial?
EdNorty I hate coriander!! No not the teen titans character, the spice!!!
Alex Sc THEME SONG! Somebody saaaaaaaaaaaaaave meeeeeeeee...
EdNorty THEME SONG!!! and they say that a hero can save us, I'm not gonna stand their and wait...
0:52-0:56 I recognized this song 🎵 from raiders of the lost ark.
Now I know Two actor's
Sean Patrick Flanery & River Phoenix Played as Young Indiana Jones
When he started sitting down and went to play the saxophone at the end, I was all "what the fuck, he's giving up?! D:"... I should have known better.
This little clip is almost better than Kingdon of the Crystal Skull!
While I love the Ford bookends to this episode, it made me aware of how un-Indiana Jones-like the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles were.
I look at Young Indiana Jones as being like the ten+ years of training it takes for Bruce Wayne to get good enough to become Batman. It takes time to develop into the man that you want to be.
Is the guy at the end suppost to be a reference to toht from Raiders?
6:48 Producers going for a poor man's version of Toht there. 😂
This is when they should’ve starting making Indy 4 and 5
man this is Ewok Caravan weird...
Hahaha fantastic piece of Indiana Jones nostalgia
Just how much better is this 8 minutes video compared to the Crystal Skull?
still a better movie than crystal skull...
Skull started off great. It's LaBeouf that ruined that movie. Dude tanked it. They just can't make these types of films anymore. The technology has surpassed the craft of film making. Everything looks computer generated, like a video game and the acting is secondary. They don't make 'em like Ford anymore!
i totally agree,i actually have nothing against the alien concept either...LaBeouf was definitely mis-cast,the script was a joke and they "jumped the shark" in every action scene,or nuked the fridge in this case....they absolutely do not make 'em like Ford anymore,thats for sure!
Crystal Skull was a fantastic movie. Fanboys bitch about "lack of outdoor locations" and yet Temple Of Doom was shot almost entirely on sets. They complain that a fridge being blasted into the air by a nuke is less believable than a knight sitting in a room for 700 years waiting for treasure hunters to drink from a cup, a German plane flying into a tunnel or ghosts melting the faces off of Nazis. It's all about expectations and perspective.
i actually like the first half,its the second half where it all goes to shit,after they escape the russian camp with the (bad cgi)monkeys and chase through the jungle with the ants and river,in fact i really loved the whole ancient alien concept thing,it was just too over done and corny in my opinion,i just watched it again recently and what pisses me off the most is that it had the potential to be better than the first 3 but it was poorly scripted and over done with bigger fights and chases(cause an older indiana jones would have the energy for more stunts and fights than when hes in his 30s right?) and too much computer animation...im looking forward to the new one though,ill always go into a new Harrison Ford movie with optimism,especially if its Indy
The biggest problem with KOCS was too much boring exposition.
Happy Birthday Mr Ford¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
If only theyd put the time and effort into the 4th film in the 90s like they did with this short piece.
Give it a rest. You're gonna hate the 5th one worse.
@@Shanethefilmmaker Probably, and no I wont "give it a rest" they go too far, also this comment was 4 months ago and I havent said anything else so give it a rest yourself.
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 first the 4th movie takes place in the 50s. You want him killing Nazis, watch the first three. The first three were at their core a tribute to that era of film as is this one is to 50s. Aliens, big bugs and impossible things with nukes are literally the norm in 50s era filmmaking. There were hundreds of them in their individual categories and thousands combining categories. Literally the only thing missing is somehow Marion being temporarily 50 feet tall and they'd get all the 50s tropes down flat.
Second do you have any idea how many year and up comments the idiots here respond to? I'm still getting crapped on for comments I made a decade and a half ago. So boo hoo on your months. Maybe wait 8 more months, then tell me to give it a rest.
@@Shanethefilmmaker Dont need the fcking essay Im well aware of what the first three films are homage too, secondly id rather they have stopped after the third altogether dickhead so dont lecture me on where they shouldve gone they shouldve STOPPED is the point now fukc off.
I was aware of his passing although didn't they film this episode in 1992? River Phoenix died in October 1993, more than a year later then when this episode was filmed.
I know but is the saxophone the same exact saxophone he learned how to play in college? Because he acts like that certain saxophone has some kind of special nostalgia as opposed to another saxophone? I'm asking is the saxophone he plays in 1950 the same one he played in 1918?
Love seeing Harrison but what godawful dialogue...
That's kinda why he was only in one episode.
a 5 minute Harrison Ford cameo from young Indiana Jones
Is still better then Kingdom of the crystal skull
Hopefully the new director doesn’t fuck up indiana Jones 5
I heard rumours that it’s about the fountain of youth and they are gonna cgi Harrison to look young
Several shots here are clearly sped up, both in the car and out. They obviously looked at the footage in the editing suite and decided it looked too slow/ponderous for an action sequence.
Best. Screen play. EVER.
EVER
Awesome!
I don't know how Indy meet Grey Cloud
ok, sorry, it seemed he just acted as if it was the same sax. I wasn't sure, thanks for elaborating.
is the indian guy with indy at start the same actor who played indian in outlaw josey wales opposite clint Eastwood? he looks like same actor but can't be sure.
I don't think he is.
Merci Tabs
Too bad he didn’t do more of these! They could have been like the bond films; one every couple of years!
Is this Indy 3.5? xd
omg young Jeffrey Wright!! WTF!! X^D was there a Indy Jones Westworld theme park? that would've been awesome!!
