The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Tales of Innocence (1999)

Actors

Plot
June 1918. Indiana Jones is working to get Austrian deserters safely to the allies side in the Italian Alps. In his spare time, he is wooing an Italian beauty named Guiletta. When he finds out another man is vying for her attention, Indy and his new pal, ambulance driver Ernest Hemingway make plans to crush Indiana's competitor by smothering Guiletta with presents and compliments. Afterwards, Indiana is begrudgingly ordered to Casablanca to find a traitor who is selling arms to the Berber rebels. Traveling incognito, he is joined by American novelist Edith Wharton and journalist Lowell Thomas. Indy and Edith soon find themselves attracted to each other despite their age difference.

Quotes:

Indiana Jones: But the truth of it is, my name is Henry Jones. I just named myself Indiana after my dog. So my friends call me Indy.::Edith Wharton: Then so shall I. Indy, I like it.

Indiana Jones: Who makes people fall in love? And why do they always fall in love with the wrong people?::Edith Wharton: I don't know, all I do know is there's no controlling it. One falls in love. One feels pain. And one's also causes it. And then other people get hurt

Sheikh Kamal: I see that you are most intelligent. For a woman.::Edith Wharton: Thank you sir. I see that you are most courteous. For a man.

Indiana Jones: Sir. We haven't seen inside your boots yet.::Colonel Bonnet: Why you insolent puppy!::Indiana Jones: Nobody leaves here until we do.

Edith Wharton: You're right of course, time doesn't stop. I never before realized what a cruel enemy it is

El Hadji: Talk! [slaps Indy across the face] You spawn of Satan! [hits him even harder] Talk!::Indiana Jones: I have nothing to say.::El Hadji: Nothing to say? You take my country by force. You exploit my people. You degrade my religion. And you have nothing to say?

Youssef: [blows smoke in Indy's face] Let us try the torture of a thousand cuts, oh Hadji.::El Hadji: They are not worthy of so noble a death. Take them out and shoot them.

Colonel Serre: [to Indy] Captain, you've surpassed yourself. Only here five minutes and you've already accomplished your mission.

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Travels with Father (1996)

Actors

Plot
The globe trotting trip that Henry Jones, Jr. sets out on in the early 1900s next takes him and his family to Russia. A few acts of clumsiness puts Indy at odds with his father who is greatly displeased with Indy. Indy runs away into the Russian countryside and wakes in the morning on a haystack. He encounters an odd, cantankerous old man named Leo Tolstoy, who is in full agreement that "hell" is other people. Both are running away to seek a simpler life. They cross the countryside, encountering colorful Gypsies and avoiding fierce Imperial Cossack troops. The hardships of the journey make Indy homesick, but he won't soon forget his journey with the stubborn old man. Indy's next destination is Greece, where his mother Anna realizes that father and son need to spend more time together. The two bristle at each other's company as they explore the sites of ancient Greece, but Henry finally reaches past Indy's impudence and stubbornness when the topic turns to philosophy and the teachings of Aristotle. A series of misadventures lead them to an isolated monastery perched high on the peak of a mountain. While studying in the library, Indy meets Nikos Kazantzakis, the writer who would some day write Zorba the Greek. Lessons on causality come in handy on the harrowing trip in a tiny cage reeled up a thousand-foot mountainside.

Anna Jones: [scolding their son] Henry, we are guests in this house.::Prof. Henry Jones, Sr.: Guests, Junior. Not rampaging barbarians.

Anna Jones: Your father will deal with you in the morning.::Indiana Jones: What's he gonna do?::Anna Jones: Have you shot in the morning. I will provide the blindfold.

Leo Tolstoy: You reeking little swine, how dare you shoot me in the ass!::Indiana Jones: I thought you were a giant weazle.::Leo Tolstoy: Do I look like a giant weazle? Is it my twitching snout? My long, hairless tail? Are all little English boys as stupid as you?::Indiana Jones: I'm not English, I'm American.::Leo Tolstoy: That explains it.

Indiana Jones: You have dogs? So do I. One I mean, her name's Indiana. I haven't seen her in over a year, though. 'Cause we've been traveling so much.::Leo Tolstoy: You miss her?::Indiana Jones: Yeah, you bet I do. Can't wait to see her when we get home. Wonder if she'll still remember me.::Leo Tolstoy: Of course she will. Dogs are better than people.

Leo Tolstoy: How dare you make me feel guilty!

Indiana Jones: Hey, they were calling you Tolstoy. I think my father has some of your books. Didn't you write that eh, that really big fat one about war?::Leo Tolstoy: And peace.::Indiana Jones: No kiddin'. My father thinks you're great!::Leo Tolstoy: Your dad's an imbicile.::Indiana Jones: He's usually not wrong about this stuff. You should ask him.

Leo Tolstoy: Do not try to see God through spectacles borrowed from the church. See God through your own eyes.

Indiana Jones: Father, I don't think that he understand your ancient Greek.::Prof. Henry Jones, Sr.: Well he should have understood it.

Indiana Jones: Father, I really doubt if a bus is even gonna come and if it does, there's probably only one a day and, and it's probably already gone!::Prof. Henry Jones, Sr.: Junior, you are now being cynical.::Indiana Jones: [beneath his breath] Yes sir.::Prof. Henry Jones, Sr.: See, after skepticism comes cynicism.

Indiana Jones: [Indy and his father are splashing around in a lake] I didn't even know you could swim.::Prof. Henry Jones, Sr.: There's a lot you don't know about me, Junior. [splashes water at his son] When I was five years old, I used to go swimming in a loch. Now that was cold!

Auto Accidents: "Driven to Kill" 1948 American Transit Association; Lowell Thomas

Order: Reorder
Duration: 10:11
Updated: 12 Dec 2013

more at http://auto-parts.quickfound.net/ Narrated by Lowell Thomas. "Stresses the necessity for the average American driver to realize fully his responsibility when behind the wheel. Illustrates that violations of safe and sane driving rules produce fatal accidents." Public domain film from the Prelinger Archive, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision A traffic collision, also known as a traffic accident, motor vehicle collision, motor vehicle accident, car accident, automobile accident, road traffic collision, wreck (USA), car crash, or car smash (Australian) occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility pole. Traffic collisions may result in injury, death, vehicle damage, and property damage. A number of factors contribute to the risk of collision, including vehicle design, speed of operation, road design, road environment, driver skill and/or impairment, and driver behaviour... Terminology Traffic collision Traffic collisions can be classified by general type. Types of collision include head-on, road departure, rear-end, side collisions, and rollovers. Many different terms are commonly used to describe vehicle collisions. The World Health Organization use the term road traffic injury, while the U.S. Census Bureau uses the term motor vehicle accidents (MVA), and Transport Canada uses the term "motor vehicle traffic collision" (MVTC). Other terms that are commonly used include auto accident, car accident, car crash, car smash, car wreck, motor vehicle collision (MVC), personal injury collision (PIC), road accident, road traffic accident (RTA), road traffic collision (RTC), road traffic incident (RTI), road traffic accident and later road traffic collision, as well as more unofficial terms including smash-up, pile-up, and fender bender. Some organizations have begun to avoid the term "accident". Although auto collisions are rare in terms of the number of vehicles on the road and the distance they travel, addressing the contributing factors can reduce their likelihood. For example, proper signage can decrease driver error and thereby reduce crash frequency by a third or more. That is why these organizations prefer the term "collision" rather than "accident". However, treating collisions as anything other than "accidents" has been criticized for holding back safety improvements, because a culture of blame may discourage the involved parties from fully disclosing the facts, and thus frustrate attempts to address the real root causes. Causes A 1985 study by K. Rumar, using British and American crash reports as data, found that 57% of crashes were due solely to driver factors, 27% to combined roadway and driver factors, 6% to combined vehicle and driver factors, 3% solely to roadway factors, 3% to combined roadway, driver, and vehicle factors, 2% solely to vehicle factors, and 1% to combined roadway and vehicle factors. Human factors Human factors in vehicle collisions include all factors related to drivers and other road users that may contribute to a collision. Examples include driver behavior, visual and auditory acuity, decision-making ability, and reaction speed. A 1985 report based on British and American crash data found driver error, intoxication and other human factors contribute wholly or partly to about 93% of crashes. An RAC survey of British drivers found that most thought they were better than average drivers; a contradictory result showing overconfidence in their abilities. Nearly all drivers who had been in a crash did not believe themselves to be at fault... There are demographic differences in crash rates. For example, although young people tend to have good reaction times, disproportionately more young male drivers feature in accidents... This is reflected by actuaries when they set insurance rates for different age groups, partly based on their age, sex, and choice of vehicle... Conversely, a location that does not look dangerous may have a high crash frequency. This is, in part, because if drivers perceive a location as hazardous, they take more care... This phenomenon has been observed in risk compensation research, where the predicted reductions in accident rates have not occurred after legislative or technical changes. One study observed that the introduction of improved brakes resulted in more aggressive driving, and another argued that compulsory seat belt laws have not been accompanied by a clearly attributed fall in overall fatalities...

Updated: 15 Oct 2013

Produced during the First World War this silent newsreel, WITH LAWRENCE IN ARABIA was the creation of Lowell Jackson Thomas (April 6, 1892 -- August 29, 1981), an American writer, broadcaster, and traveler. He is perhaps best known today as the man who made Lawrence of Arabia famous, but in his day he was equally well known as a biographer, radio host, and the author of over sixty books. This short newsreel, a companion of sorts to Thomas' book of the same name, does not contain many images of T.E. Lawrence but it does chronicle some of the desert campaign under Allenby. This version was produced for the home market; a longer version and magic lantern slides were shown by Thomas during his lectures. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit http://www.PeriscopeFilm.com
