I Just spit my coffee out!
Perhaps she just meant in bed?
Very true. I like the A-2 jacket because of my passion for aviation, and I like my fedora because of its full brim to keep the sun off. Unfortunately when the two are paired together people don't think 'Pilot' they think 'Indian Jones wannabe'.Forgetting the whip (for now), the problem with the IJ look is just that -- you look like you're in a costume. You can't get around it. The jacket and fedora are the perfect combination for all kinds of weather, which is the whole idea because IJ is ready for anything. It'd be great for traveling, but everyone will say "Hey, it's IJ!" Ask Worf. Makes you want to curse the damn movies.
I am guilty of loving the first two films equally, while admitting that the first film is better than the second (though the wagon chase has yet to be bested) - but the Crusade is always going to be my favorite. The tank battle, people! The zeppelin escape, the burning, wingless Messerschmitt passing Indy's car in the tunnel... They've built an actual Mark VIII (I think it is (Liberty?)) for that scene! Oh my...
Tom Selleck was originally cast to play "Indiana Jones" (and Sean Young as "Marion") but due to contractual obligations with CBS and the "Magnum P.I." filming schedule, he had to drop out of the project. I wonder if the character (and the movie franchise) would have been as iconic with someone besides Harrison Ford in the title role?
his mustache and eyebrows alone would be enough to carry the character, no need for fedora and leather jacket, not even bullwhip.Tom Selleck was originally cast to play "Indiana Jones"
saw Tom Selleck as a bald moustacheless Ike Eisenhower in a recent made for tv biopic...nooo even he couldn't match a geriatric Harrison Ford with creaking leathers.....and I am not too happy with 'Marion' ...the evil Dr Rene Belloq pronounces it 'Marianne' ...much more reassuring.....Tom Selleck was originally cast to play "Indiana Jones" (and Sean Young as "Marion") but due to contractual obligations with CBS and the "Magnum P.I." filming schedule, he had to drop out of the project.

Yes.
Didn't you learn anything from Indy's father in The Last Crusade? It wasn't 'just a war', but a 'battle against the very forces of evil'.
While we're on the subject, this is why I won't let my kids spend my money on Fanta, and I don't drive a German or Japanese car.

Actually from what I read Ford was meant to wear a fedora in Bladerunner and said no because he'd just worn one in Raiders. He didn't want to be that hat guy.
