Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The Raider.net reports that the release date for the next Indiana Jones Movie (tentatively titled 'Indiana Jones 4') is, according to Steven Spielberg, "...going to come out probably for the July 4th weekend of 2005...". The movie looks like it will be set in the 1950s and include just about every main character from the first three films. For more links about this movie, check this search result from Cinescape. Secondly, IndianaJones.com reports that the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released on November 4th. These films have to be one of the most requested DVD releases (probably next to the Original 'Star Wars' trilogy and the first two 'Godfather' movies) ever. "

You can preorder the Indiana Jones Trilogy for $44.95 at Bestbuy.com. I didn't link directly to their product page to avoid looking like I'm trying to make some $$$ on referrals. However, you can click through your favorite 'hot deals' website if you preorder & still get it for $44.95 while earning them a few cents in the process; Or just go to their website and search for "Indiana DVD" and it will be the top two links FYI: The Widescreen edition SKU is 5721463 & the Full Screen SKU is 5721454.
And don't forget to check out Spielberg Films for fairly up-to-date news.
From their Temple of Doom page: It looks like the news previously reported regarding extra features on the fourth disc of the INDY set was on the money as the bonus disc will include documentaries on "The Making of the Trilogy", "The Sound and Music of Indiana Jones", "The Special Effects of Indiana Jones" and "The Stunts of Indiana Jones".
DVDFile says the "Making Of" doc will be a "new full-length documentary", so its safe to assume that the documentary will be a substantial, feature-length look at the making of the trilogy.
No word is made about deleted scenes, but amazon.com's spec list did state they would be present. Judging by the accuracy of the other extras they named, things are pointing to their inclusion, but you never know until the discs is in our grubby hands.
Well, at least one of them did:

...At least I think he ended up in the pit - I haven't watched Temple of Doom in a long time.
No, Sean Patrick Flanery played Indy in the tv series. River Phoenix played Young Indy in The Last Crusade (the part showing the origin of the scar on his chin).
You have to remember the plot of the last movie. The price for being immortal was you had to stay inside the seals at the door of the chamber. Since he left the Chamber of the Grail, the immortality is no longer in effect.
"You have chosen wisely. But the Grail cannot pass beyond the great seal. That is the boundary and the price of immortality."
You are only immortal within the resting place of the Grail. Since Indiana and his Dad both stepped beyond the seal, they are no longer immortal.
Drinking from the Grail did not make you immortal (it had only healing power), you had to drink from it constantly to live forever. And because Grail had to stay inside, you only could live forever in that cave.
Ok, I bite.
you don't need good teeth for that was not intended to be a troll.
If you have a 42" plasma display... why care about a few extra dollars for a DVD?
Because it is by sparing a few dollars here and there that I could spare enough to buy one.
Trolling using another account since 2005.
Harrison Ford was on Conan last week and said he hasn't even seen a script yet for #4. The release time frame is definitely tentative.
A couple decades ago Lucas said he wanted to make it nine parts, with the last three films presumably about Luke training a new generation of Jedi, Han and Leia's kids, the rebuilding of the Republic, etc. (all of which has since been related in various novels, incidentally). However, it was also thought there would be a new movie every three years, so that after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in 1983, we'd have gotten Episode I in 1986, Episode II in 1989, etc., on up to Episode IX in 2001. Somewhere along the way George Lucas realized he didn't want to spend his whole life constantly making Star Wars, and he took a break after Jedi and worked on other projects (while also rearing his kids). He's long since decided he'll just do the first three and then let the films stand at six episodes, apparently; he's said repeatedly in recent years he has no intention to go back and do VII, VIII and IX. He apparently wants to go back and do smaller, more experimental, less commercial sorts of films, and I for one hope he does; I'd be really interested in seeing those.
Indy used his whip to hang on to the periscope, and the U-Boat never went below periscope depth. Since the snorkels weren't added until years later, the U-Boat couldn't go far or fast while submerged, since it was running on crappy batteries instead of the primary diesel engine.
Or, God parted the waves or something for him.
The U-Boat eventually surfaced (which was typical -- they didn't stay under unless they were shooting or hiding), and while Indy would have had to avoid the deck spotters that would stand up there looking for other ships, he'd be somewhat more comfortable.
When they arrive at the base, he'd have to swim ahead of it to beat it there (remember, he's already hiding out there as the sub is arriving) but aside from having to avoid being seen, it wouldn't be amazingly difficult; the sub's entry into the base won't be at top speed or anything.
Anyway, the question of how Indy survived that isn't really the big plot hole. I want to know how they managed to get that giant, heavy crate with the Ark in it into the U-Boat. The hatches are not really all that big -- and Spielberg had actually used that as a joke in "1941" when some Japanese sailors have difficulty fitting a large radio set through the hatch.

Rather the cup had to remain within the chamber, and you had to keep drinking from the cup to be immortal. No cup no immortality.
Hmm. The knight inside the hall said, ""The Grail cannot pass beyond the Great Seal. That is the boundry, and the price of immortality." I've always taken that to mean that the grail cannot leave, and that anyone who drinks from it even once is immortal *within* the boundaries of the hall -- that is, they do not age while within it. I suppose either of our interpretations works.
We who were living are now dying
