Mags - I've got that SAME case!! I took it to Kansas City (MO) one year and it wouldn't fit as a carry-on, according to Southwest Airlines, so I had to check it. When we landed, SW had tapped my luggage shut! Now, I've been hesitant to take it with me on long trips. .....so I use my CS rucksack inst...
I've always associated it with his "day job"...sorta like a Clark Kent/Superman-thing. Glasses = Professor/"professional", Leather jacket & whip = "Adventurer". From a storytelling stand point, you wouldn't want to introduce your swashbuckling hero with a pair of gl...
I was just about post a link to this shirt when I saw this. I had never heard of this company in regards to IndyGear (or anything else for that matter). I was always under the mistaking impression that Noel Howard made the shirts for the movie. When I saw this link I immediately went to IndyGear.com...
Funny you should mention that.....when I read the description on the site I thought "hmm I've never seen the guys over at COW mention Indy's jacket as an oil-diggers jacket?" That was the first time I've seen that sentiment.
I just got one myself. I LOVE it! I'm still getting used to making [private] phone calls with it - I'm usually use the speaker function on my iPhone but there are those times when using a speaker is not appropriate. Anyone know where I can find a black elastic band for it to emulate the diary look? ...
Two things with this pic: http://www.odysseeducinema.fr/galerie/Indiana%20Jones%20et%20le%20crane%20de%20cristal/Crane28.JPG ~Do you guys think the pack on the left is the SAME pack Indy uses earlier in the film? and second: ~Why is Cate Blanchett the only one with a safety harness in this pic lol? ...
Do Todd's boots contain a metal shank as well? Just out of curiosity...I always take my shoes off at the airport anyways, however I don't have the heart to wear sweaty black socks with holes in them, just for a goof
I agree that at least I would have lost that lighter somewhere between getting out of the car ("Don't know...think of sumthin'.") and smashing through the window ("This is kid in play, I'll be right back")
I can buy that, Chewie. I mean, (now this is provided that Indy carried like items in previous speculation threads, i.e. "What's Indy Got in His MK VII?") a compass can be replaced, the small brush (Map Room) he could probably find anywhere. Ammo would be a bummer to lose, however, as woul...
What was interesting was there were two different watches used by Henry Sr. in LC. One scene has him wearing a hunter cased watch that he opens and winds on the motorcycle, the other is an open face version he pulls from his pocket on the plane when Indy tells him the direction the German fighter i...
In my opinion, more-or-less. Sinatra and Dean Martin wore wide brims in the 40's and 50's, Sinatra wore shorter brims towards the beginning of the end, I think due to his facial size and shape. He was skinny, I think the wider brims would have made him goofy looking, hence why he chose to prefer bow...
Also, Frank Sinatra, who was very close to JFK, stopped wearing hats about this time. In the 60's the Rat Pack were still the "hot commodore" of the era and I believe that I had read somewhere that once Kennedy started with the hat-less look, Sinatra followed suit and so did the rest. Sina...
This thread is reminding me of many movie references, most notably the scene in "The Last Action Hero" where the boy goes into Arnie's character's [Jack Slater] movie-world and goes to Slater apartment and all there is is a bed and in his closet is a full rack of the same leather jacket, j...
Thanks, Michael for posting a better pic. Do you guys see the "other" strap on the right side of the holster?? What's that all about?? :-k The whip holder is on the left to the holster. I try to do the same with my belt, but the holster just tilts forward. I was just trying to get ideas on...
I wish I could post a picture of it Bink, but I don't have a scanner ](*,) Jeff, the strap in question is on the belt itself. However, that MK VII strap looks to be wrapped around the hanger bar, yet another "unnatural" way to display the gear. :-s http://pictures.sprintpcs.com:80/mmps/007...
My bad: I didn't recall it ever being confirmed or discussed about the other three movies. I remember when the CS DVD came out, someone had pointed the roller out in said movie. My apologies.
Looking through my "The Complete Making of Indiana Jones" book, I happen to flip to the on set photo of Indy's closet (it's in the KotCS of the book, pg 280) and I happened to notice the weapon belt hanging off the wall. What I wanna know is how the heck is the holster flat against the wal...
Looking through my "The Complete Making of Indiana Jones" book, I happen to flip to the promo-photo of Indy at the bridge (it's in the very beginning of the book) and I happened to notice what appears to be a roller buckle on Indy's strap. Also, I remembered that people claimed they saw a ...
Hmmm....tell you the truth, I've never really noticed HOW my hand grabs my whip. I THINK I grab the entire coil with my hand and release when I'm ready to "throw". Dang it, now I have to wait for tomorrow to try it out.
If you notice in the Indy movies (Raiders being the most obvious), Indy/HF draws his whip with two fingers and his thumb. This is especially noticeable in the SoC scene. Is this a common or "proper" draw? What are the advantages/disadvantages, if any? I would think that you couldn't grasp ...
So I got a SA KotCS backpack from ebay for about $18 with shipping included. The pictures were too small on the listing to see the details but I figured for the price it was a steal. When I got it, it was in pretty good shape, however 3 of the 4 small buckles on the pockets are broken or missing all...
I would but I've never known of anything around our area. The rare times that I hear of something in Boston, I've got prior engagements I would LOVE to go to a convention (and I'll have my challenge coin ready, too )
Thanks, Raider. Now that I'm looking at them again, they DO remind me of that era as well. Speaking of which, I just recently found a new love for Pinaud's Clubman After Shave Lotion (the kind that barbers use) and Brylcreem. Oddly enough, I've got some early Sinatra playing (the V-Disc Years) on my...
Thanks. I shoot it just about every chance I get. It's funny you should mention the Rhode Island thing because just recently I drove by a Spooner Ave in Cranston, which is was odd because "the Griffins" live on Spooner St. in Quahog, RI :-k It does get a bit frustrating when on the rare oc...
A few pix of my new toy: A reproduction of the Winchester 1887 lever-action shotgun. It's the model that was the basis of the Terminator's shotgun in Terminator 2. Arnie's had a larger lever-loop, so he could swing-load it more easily, and sawed-off stock. Mine is a 12 gauge with a 20" barrel a...
Sergei, you will be missed. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but his reputation was extraordinary. It is truly a sad day, especially in the Indy-Community.
I don't have scanning capability otherwise I would but anyways, in the "Complete Making of Indiana Jones" book (the huge THICK one) has a picture of Indy's two guns from Raiders, including the weapons/props department notes, and under the automatic the caption reads [pg78]: INDY'S 9MM. AUT...
So the brand at Target was "sanoma" or something like that; seems to be a store brand. Price was around $20.00. That would be "Merona", J!m ;-) Myself being a frequent Target shopper decided I might as well have them put me on the payroll, as I go there so much...and they did :l...
In that digest-sized comic that came out a few months ago shows Indy in some cold climate and it looks as though they drew him with fur collared and fur cuffed jacket. I don't have a scanner otherwise I'd show you but in case you're wondering which comic I'm talking about, it's this one: http://ecx....
Why wouldn't Indy pick up something from the locals when he arrives? That's what I like to do for things like hats or gloves in colder weather places. You support the local economy and have a useful souvenir to take home. You mean something like this: http://www.urbanape.com/images/photos/Spies_Lik...
