      I forgot this series existed, I think there's an episode where Indy meets Lenin and Ho Chi Mihn lol. But I was more talking about how Temple of Doom and Last Crusade were prequels to Raiders of the Lost Ark (I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure they take place some years earlier than Raiders). I wouldn't mind a new TV series like Young Indiana Jones, but they really need to let Harrison Ford rest unless they have a really good script and director.

        Just get another actor to play the guy. The idea came from Spielberg wishing he could make a Bind film in the first place. The character is more of an archetype and costume than a real character. The Mummy from 1999 is also the second best Indiana Jones movie.

          The Mummy was a very fun movie. The sequels were okish, I never saw the standalone Scorpion King movie because I didn't know it existed. The Tomb Raider Lara Croft movie was also a lot of fun for the time.

            Scorpion King is hilarious. The Mummy sequels were pretty dissapointing, they weren't too bad but the first movie was just so damn FUN. Haven't seen the Tomv Raider movie. Mask of Zorro from 1998 is also severely underrated. It's an amazing action movie even though the biggest stunt is a dude standing on two moving horses at once. Also like The Mummy it's a pretty horn movie in a fun way, except way more cause Zorro. Like swordfight where zorro and lady cut each others clothes off with skillfully swordwork fun horny

              Mask of Zorro is awesome too, and I think the villain in that one is some Spanish/Mexican Guasano and an American General that wants to conquer California, and they use slave labor to mine gold. The first Tomb Raider movie is really weird, because it sort had the effect of the Mortal Kombat movie, it's good, it does change a lot of the lore and plot. But the thing is, the Movie actually influenced the games to change a lot of stuff (just like the Mortal Kombat movie), Tomb Raider Legends literally has a 1:1 reaction of the mansion that was used in the movie. And Angelina Jolie was good as Lara Croft, too bad the movie becomes silly as it goes on, but tbh the games were never that serious.

          I've always been confused about the dates of these movies, probably because I have numerical dyslexia, and Crusader starts in 1912 and jumps to the 1930s. I think Raiders is from 1936 and Crusade is from 1938/39?

            Looked it up, last crusade prologue is 1912, Temple is '35, Raiders is '36, and the not prologue of last crusade is '38.
