![Indiana Jones The Complete Adventures (Limited Edition Collector's Set) [Blu-ray] [1981] [Region Free]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-QcMbKWiL.jpg)
Every unforgettable exploit of world-renowned, globetrotting hero Indiana Jones is featured with pristine picture and sound in Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures. The cinematic classic that started it all--Raiders of the Lost Ark--has been meticulously restored under the supervision of director Steven Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt. Additionally, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade have both been remastered alongside 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull making this landmark release the first time all four films in the epic and award-winning franchise have been available together in sparkling high definition. In addition to all of Indy’s thrilling adventures, the set includes seven hours of fascinating documentaries, featurettes and interviews with cast members and filmmakers. This comprehensive collection of behind-the-scenes bonus features is augmented by a brand new two-part documentary entitled “On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark – From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend.” Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, these captivating pieces transports fans back to where the legend began. Raiders of the Lost Ark has been painstakingly restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired. The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision.This limited edition collector's set includes a reproduction of the Holy Grail prop (complete with segments of Indy's personal account of the adventures from all four films), rarely seen behind-the-scenes stills, a film cell with newly produced artwork and a special collectable package resembling Indiana Jones' journal.

Excellent Indy Box Set
This boxset contains all of the Indiana Jones films to date. All four films are here, though there aren't a lot of extras. Anyone who wants more in-depth documentaries of the making of the films won't find it here. All of the films are immensely enjoyable, though, which makes up for this and every film stands up to multiple repeat viewings. I don't think that this boxset can be beaten for such a low price and represents great value for money.However, buyers should be aware that this set does NOT contain the uncut version of Temple Of Doom. The version included here is the original cinema version, though I did notice that a few more edits had been made since the old VHS video version. The DVD version appears to be even more heavily cut than the video and cinema versions, though there is no mention of this on the BBFC website, which is a bit odd. I did notice some sound edits and a few trims in a couple of other places. Why the BBFC chose to do this, I have no idea. However, this doesn't entirely spoil the film, unless you are very familiar with the film and can easily spot the edited bits. The film was re-submitted to the BBFC a few years ago for Blu-Ray and cinema re-release and that version is reportedly completely uncut, for the first time ever in the UK. So, if you are desperate to see the complete film and you also have a Blu-Ray player, then my advice is to buy the Blu-Ray boxset, which contains the uncut film.Despite that, though, this is still a superb set and well worth adding to any action fan's collection. I'd hardly call it a collector's item, though, because it still doesn't have the uncut version of Temple Of Doom, but if you don't have a Blu-Ray player then this is the best that you will be able to get on DVD. The uncut scenes are available on Youtube, if you look hard enough, anyway. So, this is an excellent buy, but not exactly essential. I give it five stars, though, purely because of the iconic status of the films and their endless appeal.

wouldn't a spot of Indiana Jones be a better remedy than valium or alcohol
If one is feeling the weight of this world a bit, wouldn't a spot of Indiana Jones be a better remedy than valiumor alcohol? It was a good idea of the producers & the master Steven Spielberg to resurrect the adventure story,duly modernised & jazzed up with the latest techniques. For sheer entertainment, colour, humour, weirdsituations, go to Harrison Ford, or (James Bond).Please forgive me, but I cannot resist evoking some of my favourite situations...The bad man (on cornering Indy)doing his karate sword act in joyous anticipation - & Indiana just sighs & pulls a gun. Indiana dressed in SSuniform getting carried away by the delirious crowd - & finding himself face to face with Adolf Hitler, whoautographs for Indy the very book for which the Nazis are seaching the world frantically. Tied up, his father beingkissed adieu by their mutual ex-mistress ("this is the Austrian fashion"), while Indy is punched hard by the SS officer("this is the German fashion"), "I prefer the Austrian fashion"... The same SS officer he punches out of thezeppelin, announcing to the startled passengers:"no ticket!", & all the passengers scramble to get out their tickets.Poor Kate meeting in the jungle every wild animal, creepy-crawly & snake - with the others .just continuing tocalmly discuss the route...Wonderful adventure & a real hoot . I hope they give Ford a special Oscar for his work.

Indiana Jones - Limited Edition Blu-Ray Set
The media could not be loaded. This is one of the best blu-ray sets I own. This particular Limited Edition Collectors set was only available in the UK and is out of print. So while the price may be quite high from third-party sellers, it's only likely to continue to go up in the future.It's a 5-disc set - one blu-ray for each of the four films, plus a bonus disc with hours of special features (many of which were taken from the DVD releases). Regarding picture and audio quality, this is the best Indiana Jones has ever looked or sounded.The main difference between the regular set and this Limited Edition set is that there are a lot of cool extra items added in. The most important of which is a replica of Indy's Journal, it's a very nice leather bound booklet with Indy's drawings and imagery from the films. I think the journal included can also be purchased separately here: The Lost Journal of Indiana JonesOther extras in this blu-ray collectors set include:- Photo cards from the set (one from each of the productions)- a Film Cell display with a 35mm film frame from the movie- matchbook from Club Obi-Wanand various other props
