I don't have any answers to your questions, but I saw the episode.

I'm a bit disappointed that they slapped these two episodes together and called
them Spring Break Adventure. Heck, the title only applies to the second half of the show.


I didn't like the first half, especially all the goofy slapstick in the barn.
The River Phoenix Indy was prone to some missteps like in the jumping on the horse
scene, but this episode makes Indy look like a clown.

The second half, however, was great. The train-crashing scene was spectacular.
I particularly liked the whole chick speech from the old Mexican. It's sad and
funny at the same time. Indy holding his chin as he's about to use it was a
nice touch. I guess he's still a little whip-shy. He'll get over it.

They really should have left this episode together with the original younger Indy
part that will now be part of My First Adventure. They make a lot more sense
together as Curse of the Jackal. It's especially confusing for those who missed
the Chronicles the first time around. You can't even watch the younger Indy episode
because it won't be released in the first round. You're seeing the conclusion
before you have a chance to see the setup.

BTW, where was the new footage? I saw these episodes when they originally aired, but nothing really jumped out at me. Although it was a long time ago, so my memories of it have faded a bit.
