Today’s Final Jeopardy
A writer & producer of this movie said he wanted it to be like a western or James Bond film, “only it takes place in the ’30s”
Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones)
Final Jeopardy Explanation
In 1978, George Lucas, writer and producer of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark described the film as follows in a story conference. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first movie in the Indiana Jones franchise that was theatrically released in 1981.
It’s a spaghetti western, only it takes place in the thirties. Or it’s James Bond and it takes place in the thirties. Except James Bond tends to get a little outrageous at times. We’re going to take the unrealistic side of it off, and make it more like the Clint Eastwood westerns. The thing with this is, we want to make a very believable character. We want him to be extremely good at what he does, as is the Clint Eastwood character or the James Bond character. James Bond and the man with no name were very good at what they did. They were very, fast with a gun, they were very slick, they were very professional. They were Supermen.
