Indiana Jones and the Five Faces

Indiana wants me, but Lord can I go back there?

Yes... Yes, I can.

I am a big fan of all the previous Indiana Jones films. I was in Grade
7 when I first saw Raiders of the Lost Ark (at school) and very soon
thereafter made my parents rent a VCR so I (we?) could watch the movie
again. My dad took my to the second move and that's always been a
special memory.

I watched some episodes of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in
1992-93 on TV. It wasn't as fun as the movies, but I remember the TV
series as fairly entertaining. Basically, the YIJC followed the
childhood and youth of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. Mixed with this
were flash-forwards of an elderly (one eyed) Indy who was actually the
one telling the stories.

With that series in mind, here's the really interesting part: Five
actors have played Indiana Jones. They are:

Corey Carrier (8 episodes, 1992-1993)
River Phoenix (one feature film, 1989) (actor now deceased)
Sean Patrick Flanery (22 episodes, 1992-1993)
Harrison Ford (four feature films, 1981-Present)
George Hall (22 episodes, 1992-1993) (actor now deceased)

I'll post a review when we get to see Indiana Jones and the Crystal
Skull. Does anyone want to babysit for us?
