I have just received a new Adventures of Indiana Jones DVD Collection magazine advertisement. And it's an interesting one! This advert is scanned from Playboy magazine and reads "No one's got balls like Indiana Jones."

Erik, the person who provided me this magazine scan, also said that we might also find this same add in other men's magazines such as Maxim, Stuff, and possibly even GQ and Esquire. Now you finally have a good excuse to buy one of these magazines...

And opposite to that advert, Aaron Higgins has emailed me another new Adventures of Indiana Jones DVD Collection magazine advertisement he had found in the Woman's Day magazine. (Aaron wasn't reading it, but his mom was and she pointed it out to him...) This advert reads "Own a Classic Ford".

Many thanks to artist Erik from Aiekon Art Studio for the Playboy magazine scan and Aaron Higgins' mother for the Woman's Day magazine scan.

The BBC has posted the first official review of the Adventures of Indiana Jones DVD Collection online! And it's one big rave! The reviewer gives the DVD box set a solid five-star rating and guarantees the fans "hours of fun that other movie box sets will struggle to match."! Here follows a part of the review:

Each movie is dealt with in turn. The range of interviewees is vast, with even bit-part players dug up for a chat. George Lucas is open and often amusing with his quips, and Spielberg matches his honesty.

The most entertaining extra is the early screen tests by potential Indys such as Tom Selleck and Tim Matheson. What you don't get to see is anything of substance in terms of deleted material. It does exist but neither Spielberg nor Lucas seems to want it included. There is, however, great animatic footage, and video test footage for the mine cart chase sequence.

Harrison Ford comes across as grumpy in his most recent movies, but he's amiable on set in all the footage we see, and is often fooling about. He also insists that he doesn't mind snakes, bugs or rats. To prove the point, he plays with a rat.

The reviewer also mentions how absolutely stunning the film restorations for the film are and also promises that this "box set delivers an overriding sense of adventure, from seeing and hearing the movies like never before to the beautifully animated menus, to watching the fascinating behind-the-scenes material."

rbf1138 has let me know that dvd.ign.com has a short article on the upcoming Indiana Jones DVDs plus some good quality behind-the-scenes photos. But you will certainly have seen these photos before if you have read our Making of Raiders, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade articles.

I have received an image from Emilio López of the Indiana Jones Blockbuster postcard given away when reserving a copy of the DVDs. The postcard includes 3 coupons for 3 free rentals and on the back it gives some details about the Indiana Jones promotion. The postcard is part of the mexican Blockbuster promotion along with the Indy bag (which will be given away in October along with the DVDs).

The BBC got together with the team behind the four-disc Indiana Jones DVD box set and producer of the films, Frank Marshall, for a candid chat this week. Here follows their report:

As you may already know, the films will come on a disc each, with no special features. Those have been reserved for disc four, where you'll find a superb two-hour documentary and a number of in-depth featurettes.

Rumours are still abounding as to what will be included so let's clear some up. There will be no standalone deleted scenes. Yes, they do exist, but neither Steven Spielberg nor George Lucas wants them included as they feel the movies are perfect as they are. The Temple of Doom DVD for the UK will be the edited version, which seems like an extraordinary decision. Plus, none of the effects have been enhanced with CGI (which personally I think is a good move).

What you do get, though, are the films looking and sounding stunning. Obviously I expected a good job but Raiders of the Lost Ark looks like it was made this year - it's that clear. The two-hour documentary is highly entertaining and I was staggered by the amount of behind-the-scenes footage available for all three movies. Next week I'll go further in-depth on what to expect from this formidable boxset. Meanwhile I do have some room here to talk about the next Indy movie, which Frank confirmed would not be reliant on CGI effects (has he run this by George, I wonder?). It will retain a B-movie feel (as with the previous films), original cast members will be invited back, and a lot is planned for the eventual DVD release.

R2 project attended the Indiana Jones DVD launch press event in London that took place today and already placed a short article about what they saw. Here follow R2 project's comments on what they saw of the Indiana Jones DVDs:

I've just been to a presentation of The Indiana Jones Trilogy and I have to say this is looking like one hell of a set. I don't want to go into details now, as I'm on battery power but here's a few tips:

• The sound and picture on all three releases look absolutely stunning, completely unbelievable on the three clips we saw.
• The extras on disk 4 also look breathtaking, the disk producers did their own digging into the archives to turn up a 2 hour documentary as well as the four smaller features that concentrate on the technical aspects of the film.
• There is one slight mystery though, Jim Ward was asked a couple of times about the "bloopers" in the first film, a snake reflection in glass and a ramp during the truck dragging scene. Would they be on the disk ? He wouldn't answer directly, we'll have to buy the disk we where told.
