THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• George Lucas has maintained since the 1980's that there was originally supposed to be a total of five Indiana Jones movies, as a result there has been massive speculation and rumors over the years that another movie was in the works, but had all proved to be false. In 2002 Frank Darabont wrote a script that Steven Spielberg loved, however George Lucas rejected the script for unknown reasons. Harrison Ford finally put out an ultimatum that if they did not make this movie by 2008 then he felt he would be too old to take on the role, from that point on things kicked into high gear and the film was eventually made and released in 2008.
• Sean Connery was asked to reprise his role as Henry Jones Sr. in this film, however Connery refused saying that if there was any film that would make him consider coming out of retirement, it would have been this one, but still declined because he was just enjoying retirement too much.
• There was so much anticipation for this film that Spielberg and Lucas were worried about details of the movie getting out before it's release. As a result the script was kept closely guarded, the sets were closed, and all actors had to sign an agreement promising not to reveal what happened in the movie. In addition the film was delivered to theaters with a combination lock on them so they could not be opened. A special courier was then sent out with the combination to each of the theaters with the combination on them so that early screenings were not possible.
• Harrison Ford insisted on doing most of his own stunts as he had done on the previous Indy movies despite being over the age of 60 at the time of shooting. To prepare for the hits his body would be taking, it is reported he worked out everyday with a personal trainer and used a high-protein diet to quickly bulk himself up.
• In the thrown room etched into one of the tiles is C-3PO and R2-D2, legend has it that these characters can be seen hidden somewhere throughout all of the Indy movies.
• Originally Nazi's were supposed to be the villains in this movie, however this was changed at the request of Steven Spielberg as he felt that he could not resume making the cartoon version of the Nazi's seen in the previous films, claiming that his experiences on Schindler's List changed the way he viewed them. George Lucas backed the decision, stating that you couldn't make a film taking place in the 1950's without referencing the Cold War.
