CLASSIC INDY: DECIPHERING THE OXLEY CODE!

Now held captive by the Russians, Indy tries to work out the mystery visual language linked to the location of El Dorado referenced by his mentally incapacitated friend and mentor, Harold Oxley, in a memorable moment for the under-used Sir John Hurt, during the events of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

CLASSIC INDY: THREE TIMES IT DROPS!

They may have currently avoided Irina Spalko's forces thanks to Marion's plucky ingenuity, but now Indy and friends must endure three extremely hazardous to your health waterfall drops in a fun sequence filmed at both Hawaii and on the Universal Studios Backlot for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

CLASSIC INDY: CUSTODIAN AND PROTECTOR!

As Indy continues his brutal bare-knuckle fight against the formidable Russian bulk that is Dovchenko, the lovable but barely sane Harold Oxley keeps his eye on the prize - the Crystal Skull, using its power to stop the approaching ground storm of killer ants, in a fun moment from INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.

STAR WARS AFICIONADO remembers the much-liked and respected British character actor Sir John Hurt (1940 - 2017), who not only relished his role in the Indiana Jones franchise, but was beloved in other high quality sci-fi/fantasy- the likes of ALIEN, HARRY POTTER and the modern version of TV's DOCTOR WHO. His other work across film and small screen genres was equally high-quality, admirable and unforgettable, from playing the insane Emperor Caligula in I, CLAUDIUS, to the noble yet afflicted John Merrick in THE ELEPHANT MAN. 

RIP, Mister Hurt.
