There are many of them out there, I have one of the original jackets and hats. Not the ones from the film itself, the ones made by Thurlow Leatherworld etc. ---

All these so called jokes are bordering on ageism. Ford is likely in better shape that half of those here half his age. ---

The final movie would be a great time to bring back Karen Allen. Karen and Harrison have great on screen chemistry. He’s 78. They can’t bring in some 30 year old model for him to romance. Karen is 69 and still looks good (considering her age). Movie makeup & lighting would take off 10 years. I’d like to see Marion and Indy end the movie together with Indy planning retirement. Leaving the door open for another movie. > **[Karen Allen Photostream](https://www.zimbio.com/photos/Karen+Allen/ISFfuTJTqO_/2020+Film+Independent+Spirit+Awards+Arrivals)** > > Karen Allen Photos Photos - Karen Allen attends the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards on February 08, 2020 in Santa Monica, California. 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards - Arrivals ---

> [@Dallas\_Jones](#): > > Harrison Ford is 78 years old. Right now, even before filming starts. > > He shouldn’t be doing this. You don’t “owe” the fans anything. It will probably kill him. But maybe he needs a new airplane. Didn’t he break his leg on the set of the last Star Wars movie he did, when the door to the Millennium Falcon closed on him? I think Harrison Ford is notoriously accident prone. I wonder whether it’s because he is perpetually high on pot. ---

Patrick Steward is 80 and I hear doing a fine job keeping up with production in ST:Picard. ---

So who are the “bad guys” in 1977? The Nazis and Reds are old hat, and terrorist and drug kingpins are a little low-rent for Indy. Satanists? Bigfoot? A New Age cult? ---

Maybe times have changed and Indy finally has to pay the price for decades of enriching himself as a Malraux-style tomb raider. Lots of crazy shit happening in Cambodia in 1977. ---

On second thought, maybe they should stick with the tried and true Nazi angle. Set in South America perhaps. ---

> [@gdave](#): > > Is this a whoosh? That’s _exactly_ what happened in _Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_ . I haven’t seen that movie. Apparently bringing back Marion makes a lot of sense. The chemistry between Ford and Karen is quite special. My last Indy film was Last Crusade with Sean Connery. CBS ran several classic movies this summer because of the pandemic. My movie watching has significantly dropped since the rental stores closed. I need to find time to watch Crystal Skull the next time it runs on TCM. ---
