Yep. That's what I was saying (Young as VV) if I wasn't clear.
Forgot about the Donahue bit.

I have all those that you've mentioned too. I mean the actual Sunbow theme song. "He'll fight for freedom, wherever there's trouble..." There's a knock-off version, but nothing "official" that I've ever found.

Stranger when you consider some of the people he has cast. It's like Wes Craven being afraid of ... a lot of things ... in real life.

There are even polaroids of her on the set/sound stages with Keaton, Nicholson and Wuhl if you do a google image search. That article also mentioned she had been in London for 4 weeks during the pre-production phase at the time of the injury. Really bad-timing and a very bad break for her (no pun intended).

So it was during rehearsal. I remembered the scene, and it's in the paperback, but the movie is better without it. Saw the denofgeek article, too, but wasn't sure how accurate that site is. I thought geeks stuck to the basement for one thing...

Trading cards were great for autographs, too. I don't have a complete set of Rocketeer, but have managed to get cards from the set signed by Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly. No luck (yet) on Dalton or Terry O'Quinn, but I did recently get a signed Charlie's Angels card back from Cheryl Ladd. I'm sure there are likely hundreds of SW trading cards but I'm glad I've held onto the G.I. Joe Impel card set (some of which I've also gotten signed).

I love the music for all three movies, but particularly TPM. That score always takes me back to a very specific time in my childhood.

The Indy comics had more freedom, I think.
The BTiLC books are now on my BOLO list.

Yeah, I took a little bit of German in high school years ago, but I'd still need to dig out my dictionary, and probably a pencil and paper, to actually read it, and that sounds like a lot of work. So it just sits on my shelf and looks cool. No idea how it got over here in the States.

I was lucky enough to find all the issues of the Raiders comic adaptation at a flea market years ago for cheap. I'm still missing a fair amount of the Further Adventures of Indy and the other two film to comic adaptations, but they're all pretty cool.

Wow, that's cool!
I loved that Impel Joe set as a kid, but ours ended up destroyed, so when I saw a complete set around 10 years ago at a junk store, I snapped it up.
