Indy Jones available as Box-Set ONLY?!? - Page 2

I'd rather like to know what's on the mysterious second discs for each individual movie, that I keep seeing in my dreams.

One thing that bothers me about having to buy all of the Indiana Jones films that did not bother me about buying all of the BTTF films is the price.

Universal sold all 3 films for what, like $35 during new release week? At that price, I don't mind buying all 3. I am guessing that Paramount is going to sell there box set for somewhere around $80, since that is what they did with the Godfather trilogy.

Bttf is nice and all but it's not indy. Indy are some of the biggest movies ever and i think the majority people will buy the boxset no matter what the price!

It's certainly the box set for me anyway. I'm a completisti, and they're all three of them fantastic movies. Makes the choice easy. Here's hopign the price is right.

Ok, I need to throw a wrench into the works. If this box set has four disks, where is IJ4 going to go?

I am assuming the there will be 4 DVD cases, but who is to say, right?

Anyway, for those that dislike TOD, was it the kid that did it?

For all of you who don't mind since you want all three, don't you still think there should be a CHOICE for the rest of us?

But if they were produced individually as well, it would probably mean a higher price tag for the boxed set.

I would definitely buy Raiders, and I don't mind buying Crusade although I know I won't watch it much. But it pisses me off to have to buy the steaming, stinking turd that is known as Temple of Doom... just like it pissed me off to have to buy Godfather Part 3.

To use BTTF as an example, why would anyone pay $20 for a single movie (based on Paramounts pricing) when they can get all 3 for $15 more? And in this case, if you bought Indy 1 & 2 separately, you'd probably be paying MORE than if you bought the set, so it makes more sense to buy all 3 rather than 2.

I, for one, am glad to see a studio cater to movie buffs and collectors

Kate Capshaw didn't help, either.

Given the price for the Godfather box, that is not a reasonable assumption. I expect the price for the Indiana Jones box set to be high.

Raiders is the only one I'm really interested in purchasing. I've seen Crusade enough times already. I don't need a disc of extras. You can't tell me that buying the box set would be cheaper than buying one movie.

Don't you mean completists? I'd rather the studio try to cater to everyone. If they release Raiders as a standalone disc, I'll buy it on release date. If they release it in the box set only, then I'll wait until I find a cheap pre-owned copy, in which case they won't be getting my money at all.

no $ale, not that they're counting

CraigL · 04-29-2003, 12:47 PM

Is there any OTHER way to buy the Indiana Jones movies? Perfection!!!

I'm just pretty concerned about the lack of extras. Only 1 disc for extras is pretty thin since you KNOW it'll be Trailers and the Making of specials that are already released on vhs and laserdisc.

Temple of Doom is extremely underrated and underappreciated IMO. Sure it has some dumb cornball bullcrap (a torch to the tummy isan antidote for a drug? C'mon!), but it's got some seriously memorable stuff, including the entire spectacular opening sequence, the roller-coaster scene, the confrontation with the two swordsmen where Indy has no gun this time, the bug room / crusher room sequence, etc. I think I personally like it almost as much as Raiders, and definitely prefer it to Crusade with all the corny father/son jokes.

Agreed, bring'em on! TOD is the first movie I saw in a theater, it has a special place in my heart. I love them all, I think I actually prefer Crusade to Raiders.

I do understand why some are pissed though.

I don't, but to each his own. Paramount surely won't charge Godfather prices for the set, and if they do, they are flat out retarded. I assume the set will be $30-$40, just like BTTF and similar releases. As beloved as Godfather is, Indy has far more mass appeal and built-in Joe 6 Pack sales, not too mention it is coming out at a time when DVD is far more widespread than it was when the Godfather set was released.
