It seemed like the twenty minutes of new material was the "bridge" between the episodes, after the prom, when Indy is in class and gets the letter. Note how different Sean Patrick Flannery looks. He looks like a really old teenager (he was probably in his late 20's/early 30's when he shot this section). It's terrible, and these two episodes did not belong together. It was much better when it was just Curse of the Jackal. That was the premiere episode, if I'm not mistaken.

: 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.
