Look how bad this jacket is



The pants color look accurate. For the rest I can't tell.

Opinions?

Is that from the TOTFE ride at DL?

Cheers,
Jeff

What's the DL?

It's from Madam Tausads.

DL = Disney Land. The jacket wouldn't be so bad if it fit the mannequin.

You might be surprised by that jacket. Yes the sleeve lining must be shot for the folded up leather to sag like that. But the collar has quite a LC look to it.

Looks like Indy's been riding a boxcar sometime during the Great Depression... he's mad after he was thrown off by some mean railroad conductor.

Straight out of a Jack London novel...

geesh, thats a horrible likeness...looks like a cross between nic cage and austin powers' boss, "basil". whats with the johnny depp-21 jump street hair do too?

i've been to Madam Tausads in vegas and was quite impressed by some of the exhibits but there are a couple that you would need to read the name tag and see who is being represented.....perhaps they are pushing to have his outfit identify him in this one (but they could have at least got that right )

I thought he looked like David Hasselhoff! In a bad '80s jacket!

TR

Scandinavia's right. Total hobo look. What's with the hole in his pants?

I just thought it was Disney's ToTFE used in the dark background cause it looks so horrid There are folks on this forum and at the RPF who put this Buttercup to shame..

Hmm... makes you wonder... check out this lobby card for the Depression/hobo flick "Emperor of the North" - something kinda familiar here...

11 chapters for a walk? That's nothing. A Finnish classic novel called Alastalon salissa by Volter Kilpi (1933) consists of 900 pages about a meeting where some guys talk about investing in a ship. The meeting lasts only six hours. For example it takes 70 pages for one guy to walk to a pipe shelf on the other side of the room and choose the most suiting pipe.

Which Madam Tussauds is that? the London one or another? Has anyone seen it for real? As you really can't tell anything from that picture on a stick mannikin. You can't even see the pockets. Anyone know it's provenance?

I thought Tussaud's museums cast the celebrities' faces these last 30 years or so.

Heey, doesn't the jacket have some demon roll going on?

Well, it does look possessed, now that you mention it.

The picture in question was taken in the old exhibition of London's Madame Tussaud's.
They changed the arrangement recently.

We had a thread about this some time ago somewhere here ... if I only could find it. It must be here ... or no wait, behind that dusty boxes? No ... between those old travel-logs, under these artifacts ... no, wait - don't go away, I know I can find it.

Ah! Got it. It's HERE!

I for one appreciate the Joycean flow of consciousness in Disgruntled... one of the great American novels, IMO.

As for Tussaud's... they didn't get Henry Jones, Sr. quite right either...



No spectacles, and he good professor wouldn't have been caught dead in a turtleneck!

Hey! I have a sport jacket JUST like that.

We can conclude that somewhere between Platon's original post in that older thread, and his first post in this thread, that exhibit was moved, and Indy went to c***.

The reason for this is that Bink actually tried to steal that thing to see if they cast Harrison Ford's wallet as well, but he had some trouble getting it through the door. I believe he actually knocked over the Barbara Streisand figure trying to get Indy out of there. He ended up putting Indy back in the Kokiri Forest set.

This is great!

But now every one in the office thinks I'm crazy(er), as I really did start laughing out loud.

Oh, but I only stated the obvious, Tone... a thought that already floated around in our collective gearhead-consciousness. My humble post merely foreboded the greatness that is Disgruntled, one of the cornerstones of American literature.

The expression on the statue looks like he was kicked out of a diner circa 1930's after the truckers guffawed at him. The red in his face is the embarrassment, and the driven look is that of the images he's conjuring up of beating up the harassers.

Indiana_Tone wrote:Hmm. The jacket really isn't so bad in the right color scheme. Looks like the selected display cheapened the whole theme. The mannequin's pose is blahze. Kind of like Indy's mad that he has to briskly walk away from that boulder that "isn't" chasing him.
"Stupid........friggn........boulder just stopped on me.....Now I have to walk to the exit."

This is why I insist on TAPERED sleeves........

Hmmm, those pics of Connery and Ford at Madam Tussauds look very familiar. I scanned those pictures a few years ago so maybe they are from my collection. I should check.
