“I’m Making This Up As I Go”
The two-minute behind-the-scenes look featured Ford,Phoebe Waller-Bridge, directorJames Mangold, and producersKathleen KennedyandSteven Spielbergbreaking down the jaw dropping spectacle of Indy’s last triumph. From a stunning night train sequence to a tuk-tuk race through Cianjur to a horse chase through the streets of 1960s New York, there’s no shortage of high-flying adventure. However, like the featurette highlights, the action means nothing if the audience doesn’t care. TheIndiana Jonesfranchise has made a name for itself with heartfelt pulse pounding spectacle.Dial of Destiny’s keeping that old fashion tradition alive with Mangold saying they did as much practical “real action” as possible. There have been so many mind-blowing memorable set pieces from Indy’s past. The truck chase fromRaiders, the minecart chase fromTemple of Doom, and the tank and motorcycle chases fromLast Crusadejust to name a few. Even the less than well receivedKingdom of the Crystal Skullhad its fair share of stand out moments like the opening Area 51 battle.
However, what keeps this franchise together, isFord’s love and commitment. His continued passion for the character can’t be understated. Seeing him talk about the care put into each action beat will make any long time fan endlessly smile. Especially, with the new looks ofhim in costumeon set. It truly seemed like he was having the time of his life making this final film. That’s only going to make this adventure more emotional than it already was.
