No Fridges Were Nuked In The Creation Of This Video: Harrison Ford’s Indy Appearance In Young Indiana Jones

steranko_raidersWe don’t have a lot of time here today at the Crisis On Infinite Midlives Home Office – we are venturing out for a staff meeting with contributor Lance Manion which will consist of story conferences (translation: one of us will say, “Did you see the latest issue of Saga? Wasn’t it awesome?”), research (“Show me the cosplayer pictures you took at SDCC… dontcha have any Power Girls or Huntresses, for Christ’s sake?”), and a little social drinking. Or at least that will be the affirmative defense that we enter at the arraignment.

However, we did find this little thing I’d like to pass along: YouTube user 2ndMyMediaSource has uploaded parts of the early 90s episode of Young Indiana Jones where Harrison Ford appeared to reprise his role as Indy.

The video’s only seven minutes long, and spends even a little too much of that focusing on Indy as a teenager for my tastes, but it is a nice rarely-seen taste of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, considering it has been nearly a quarter century since the release of Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, which means it has been far too long since we’ve seen Indiana Jones. Yup. 25 whole years since Ford has played Indy. Only three Indiana Jones movies were made. Just a trilogy. And I’d like to thank Lucasfilm for including, in their Indiana Jones Blu-Ray set, that extra disc that I could use as a coaster. That extra disc with nothing on it. Yes indeedy.

Anyway, you can get this extra taste of the real Indiana Jones after the jump.

…actually, you can’t. 2ndMyMediaSource has disabled embedded on the video. But it’s still worth watching, and you can check it out right on the guy’s YouTube channel.
