Video of the Day: Indy Shot First!
Filed under: Action, Fandom, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Trailers and Clips
Fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark might want to look away right now as what you're about to watch could cause serious damage to your soul. A brief snippet from the upcoming Raiders of the Lost Ark Special Edition DVD has leaked online and, in it, there seems to be a little update from George Lucas. I kinda like the small touches added and think fans will get used to them after awhile. Yup, don't worry ... they'll just blend into the background. I mean, really, who cares about this old flick anyway? It's so ... 1981-ish. That said, I'm sure folks are already in the process of creating an "Indy Shot First" t-shirt. Check it out up top, then let us know what you think? Should we start a petition? Has Lucas lost his mind? And how could Spielberg agree to something like this? Sound off ...
[Thanks Matthew]

George would do this, no doubt.

What's sad is the torrent of outrage that'll spew forth from the Lucas-bashers who think this is real.

No one but an idiot would think this was real.
We just all think this is something Lucas would do to help make new re-releases of the movies.

by the way, did Lucas ever give a reason for making that change in A New Hope? or did he severely underestimate the fans and think they wouldn't notice/care.

There are a bunch of comments on YouTube which indicate, yup, people think it's real.
All kidding aside, this is based on some truth - Indy doesn't fire his gun even once in Crystal Skull. There's no doubt Lucas wouldn't make the character nearly as violent if he were making Raiders today. And since both he and Spielberg have been known to "fix" things like this, I wonder if some sort of kinder, gentler Raiders has ever crossed his mind.
