Re: I’d say it’s a coincidence - but not only is Harrison in Apocalyspe Now, but George Lucas was suppose to direct at one time (yes, really!) - oh, and Ford’s character is Colonel Lucas! (nm)

: : Hey guys, has anyone seen Apocalypse Now? Excellent film. Albeit
: : extremely weird at the end. Anyways, I recently watched the film
: : again, and there seemed to be some slight similarities to Temple of
: : Doom. First off, when Martin Sheen finally reaches Colonel Kurtz at
: : Cambodia, a whole bunch of Cambodian people start gathering around
: : Martin Sheen, they start raising their hands up to him like he's some
: : sort of God (though I don't think that's the intention Coppola
: : wanted). That is just like when all the village people started
: : gathering around Indy, Wille, and Short Round in ToD. The only
: : difference between the scenes here is that in Apocalypse Now, they end
: : up flipping over Martin Sheen. Also, in the Cambodian sequences the
: : lighting and basically the look of those scenes seems kinda similar to
: : the smoke and lighting in the jungle when Indy sees the statue of Kali
: : or something and also the interior of the underground temple. Hmmm,
: : I'm wondering, is Apocalypse Now a small inspiration for ToD.
: : Probably not that big.

: : --------------------------
: Maybe it has something to do with Harrison Ford being in both films. :)
