Rating: - Lucas Future DVD release Schedule for the Next 5 Years!
This isn't really a review on the new Indiana Jones Adventure DVD set that is due in May which is only coming out because of the new film. In fact, I'm really looking forward to the new film. I just wanted to vent out some frustrations with the rest of the other Lucas fans. I totally agree with the majority of you who are frustrated by the constant re-issue of George Lucas films on DVD. The Star Wars & Indiana Jones films are my most, favorite films of all time, but getting them on DVD has been an adventure in itself. Therefore, I want to show the future DVD release schedule of what I REALLY THINK is coming out on DVD for the George Lucas films in the next five years.
December, 2008.
Indiana Jones DVD set with all four movies. "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" will be a two-disc set and the second disc will be one of those stupid, bonus digital copies. The ONLY way you can get the "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" DVD is if you buy the whole Indiana Jones four-movie set. Arrrgh!
December, 2009
A complete Star Wars 25 DVD set with the complete prequels & original trilogy, the animated Clone Wars, Blue Harvest Family Guy, Ewok Adventures, Robot Chicken Wars, Bart Wars (from the Simpsons), Hardware Wars, Thumb Wars, the upcoming "Fanboys", Star Wars Lego X-Box demos and more new documentaries/featurettes that were NOT available before. The set will also contain a limited edition Darth Vader Head with breathing noises and a cash register "kacheeeng" noise every time you touch it. There will also be a hidden Easter egg on one of the DVD's when you enter "1138" which causes the "Star Wars Holiday Special" to play. Arrrrgh!
December, 2010
A complete Indiana Jones 25 DVD set with all four films, the whole Young Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones Lego X-Box demos and more new documentaries/featurettes that were NOT available before. The set will also contain a limited edition Idol Head from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that makes a "kacheeeeng" noise every time you touch it and gives you a really bad headache like your head just got hit by a giant boulder. Arrrgh!
December, 2011
The George Lucas Definitive DVD collection. A 100 DVD set of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, THX1138, American Graffiti, Blue Harvest Family Guy Lego X-Box demo and MORE documentaries/featurettes with all NEW special features that were NEVER available on any DVD created on Earth. The set will also contain a limited edition George Lucas statue that makes a "kacheeeeng" noise every time you touch it. The DVD set will also contain a bonus DVD of "Howard the Duck". Arrrrgh!
December, 2012
The George Lucas Definitive DVD collection in 3-D. Same exact DVD set as above but with 3D glasses. The set will also contain the bonus DVD "George Lucas in Love" and a limited edition George Lucas flannel shirt. Arrrrgh!

If you want the Indiana Jones Trilogy, buy this or the already available box set. If you want to get the complete four films just wait, a four disk box set will probably be set for a Christmas release. No complaints here...just head shaking!

A lot of people are complaining about the new editions of these Indiana Jones dvds simply because they have been released before. They are acting as though George Lucas is the only man guilty of double dipping. But I turn around and there is the 9th edition of Independence Day, the 5th edition of the Rambo movies (Soon to be 6th) The many times Terminator 2 has been re-issued on DVD, and don't get me started on the Evil Dead movies. The Star Wars movies are distributed on DVD by 20th Century Fox, the same studio which, less than a year after the initial release, cranked out a special edition of The Day After Tomorrow, and which annually re-issues not just Day After Tomorrow and Independence dDay, but Speed, the Die Hard movies, the Abyss, The Sound of Music, and the Alien movies on an annual basis, every year with new cover art, and sometimes with bonus features, sometimes without. The Indiana Jones movies are distributed by Paramount, which has released at least 2 editions of each of the Star Trek movies, and I am certain that when the new Star Trek movie gets released, we can anticipate a 3rd release of those features, either when Star Trek XI is released theatrically or on DVD. This summer there is going to be a new 2 disk edition of Batman Begins getting released (I wonder if it will be the same as the old 2 disk edition of Batman Begins) in order to capitalize on the release of The Dark Knight. This isn't really a marketing ploy by Lucas so much as standard marketing procedure on the part of the studios. So, everyone who gave this a 1 star for being a re-release, quick, get to the new edition of Batman Begins and give that a 1 star review as well.
Rating: - Wait for the Blu-Ray version...
I wouldn't bother with this set... You know a Blu-Ray version will be coming out around Christmas... and it will probably include the 4th film.
I agree with the other reviewers... don't waste your money... the best is yet to come!
Rating: - These Movies are Great
This is the Worst double dipping ever. worse then the Star Wars. at least he changed things with the feature. digital remastered. Here all that was done is change the Box Set. from The Adventures of Indiana to the Indiana-THe Adventure Collection, and added one or two never before seen bonus material. First of all? Is there a Mystery collection? horror Collection? of course its called the THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION. its Indiana friggin Jones.
seriously, if you want the first three get the other set its cheaper. or wait till christmas, when ALL 4 will be in a Box-SET.
TRIPLE DIP!
