I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Absolutely the worst movie.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
"Spring Break Adventure" is a welcome return to form for "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones". The Princeton sequences, with Sean Patrick Flannery now playing Indy, brilliantly recapture the feel of the early scenes of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", as Indy outdoes a treacherous scientist before taking lovely girl (Robin Lively) to the prom.Even better is the Mexico sequence with Indy donning his trademark fedora hat and joining in the Mexican revolution, riding with Pancho Villa (Mike Moroff) and meeting Remy (Ronny Coutteure) who will become his companion as they head off into the sunset to join the Belgian army fighting in World War I.Also keeping in with the movies, Indy has the chance to settle an old score as he reclaims an Egyptian relic stolen that he witnessed being stolen in a previous adventure.A great and much needed kick in the pants for the DVD adventures of Young Indiana Jones.
These two episodes are set in 1916. The first in Princeton and Oragne, NJ, including the factories of Thomas Edison. The second at Spring Break time, in New Mexico and Mexico during the revolution.Sean Patrick Flanery is really good as young Indiana Jones. The first episode (45 minutes) involves the school prom and his wanting to borrow his girlfriend's dad's Bugatti to impress the other kids. But the car develops a generator problem and Indy finds out that a scientist friend working for Thomas Edison can repair it easily, they just have to get it to the Labs. They do so by train and bicycle. But just as they arrive thugs kidnap the scientist friend and some plans for new batteries that would make the internal combustion engine obsolete. Robyn Lively is his girl Nancy, and the two of them have to do detective work to figure out who is sponsoring all this.The second episode (45 minutes) has Indy going on Spring Break with his family to New Mexico. He and his cousin decide they will try to get to the Mexican border to see a bordello, and tell the parents that they are going camping. But as soon as they get to the small Mexican town they encounter a band of thieves on horses, shooting up the town and blowing out the bank to steal money to finance their revolution. Indy gets involved in the cause and meets Pancho Villa, and Indy ends up helping out in a battle, but then decides that "this is not my revolution" and heads home.Interestingly this is the first time I saw Indy use a bull whip, which later became part of his signature.
I enjoyed this Young Indiana Jones Chronicle. It has one of my favorite commentaries on revolutions. When Indy is taking chickens away from a Mexican man, he tells the man that this is for the good of Villa's army. Indy says that Villa will bring the people out of drudgery, slavery, etc. The Mexican man replies that he once was young and believed such things. He had joined a revolutionary movement when he was younger. The man still had his chickens taken. He said that revolutions come and go. All that changes is the name of the man who steals his chickens. I believe that this is a brilliant commentary on revolutions in general. I will always enjoy watching this Young Indiana Jones Chronicle just for that small speech.
...seems to start out a little slow, but then it gets going toward the end. Spring Break adventure combines Indy's first adventure at home in NJ and then it starts off an entirely new adventure in Mexico with Pancho Villa. Remy is introduced for the first time, and Indy first learns what war is all about. All in all, I think it was a good movie to start out the older young Indy with Flannery.
