Synopsis
With well-crafted stories and high-quality production values, THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES was a rarity on TV when it premiered in 1992. Focusing on adolescent (Corey Carrier) and teenage (Sean Patrick Flanery) versions of the Indian Jones character, the series follows the future archaeologist's adventures as he travels the world, rubbing shoulders with some of history's famed figures. From going on safari with Teddy Roosevelt to waxing philosophic with Leo Tolstoy, the show is gently educational as it charts young Indy intersecting, often dangerously, with historical events. Produced under the watchful eye of creator George Lucas, these feature-length episodes chronicle young Indiana getting himself in all sorts of tight situations, and feature guest stars that include Vanessa Redgrave, Max von Sydow, Anne Heche, Lukas Haas, Elizabeth Hurley, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable if shallow history series, 20 Mar 2009
By Alain English (London, England) - See all my reviews
The concluding volume of the "Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" typifies much of what is very good about this series but also shows the kind of flaws that let it down at times. As ever, the documentaries that accompany the episodes (detailing further the events and historical figures Indiana Jones becomes involved with) are as engrossing as the episodes themselves.

This box-set sees Indy (again played by Sean Patrick Flannery) survive World War One, attempt a reconciliation with his father back home and become involved with gangsters, Broadway stage actors, and Hollywood film directors during his time at university.

The best episodes are "Masks of Evil", where Indy has a tragic love affair working in Istanbul and is then sent to Transylvania, in probably his first encounter with the supernatural, to tackle a crazed descendant of Vlad the Impaler who is raising an army of the dead. The first part is notable for it's complex realism, and the second part for it's hoary but still enjoyable Gothic horror imagery.

An intriguing episode is "Winds of Change" where Indy finds himself in France at the end of World War One, and faces the horrifying treatment of the Germans, who unfairly shoulder blame for the entire war as well as marginalised individuals like the Vietnamese whose fate is cruelly ignored in the process. This episode some good thoughts on the nature of war and evil, and an excellent recreation of the tortured President Woodrow Wilson by actor Josef Summer. Lloyd Owen also makes a welcome return as Indy's distant father.

"Mystery of the Blues" is bookended by 1950 segment with Harrison Ford playing an older Indy recounting his days at college playing the blues. It is terrific to see Ford playing Indy again, and it also features great performances from Jeffrey Wright as jazz musician Sidney Bichet and Nicholas Turturro in a chilling depiction of a young Al Capone.

The series suffers significantly in translation to these DVD editions, and many of it's flaws are exposed. The DVD documentaries, in exploring the people Indy meets in more depth, expose at times their comparatively shallow portrayal in the series. As the series was originally shot out of chronological sequence (with George Hall playing an elderly Indy randomly recalling events from his youth), the episodes don't always follow on coherently from each other in the DVD format. Crucial to this is the depiction of Indiana Jones himself. In spite of all he goes through (war, intrigue, countless love affairs and near-death experiences), he never seems really affected or changed by what happens to him. It's not really Sean Patrick Flannery's fault, as the original format of the show would have hindered his developing a proper through-line for his character, but throughout the show Indy is played in pretty much the same way. This reduces the audiences ability to properly relate to him and damages his believability as a character.

These are tiny nit-picks, though, and it shouldn't put anyone off buying this boxset, as it continues the high performance and production standards of the first two. Recommended for history buffs and hardcore Indiana Jones fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great documentaries/drama, 13 Mar 2009
By E. Wong "eymwonder" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great fiction and good acting but the gem is really in the documentaries that accompany the set. Photos, footage, and well-written and researched histories in short 30 minute videos that won't bore you and enhance viewability of the drama series itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 2 Feb 2009
I remember watching these made-for-TV films in the 1990s, usually scheduled for late morning on a Saturday. So gripped was I by them that I would arrange my day around their broadcast time. They are lavishly produced, almost to rival the original films of Indiana Jones. Their plots are beautifully fanciful, with many historical figures woven into the plots. The acting is excellent, with many special guest stars of fame. The hero, except in the early boyhood episodes, is played by Sean Patrick Flannery, who was born for the role. These are ripping good yarns, a joy to watch, a worthy addition to any collection that likes a little adventure inlcuded.
