The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Treasure of the Peacock's Eye

The first half of this straight to video film (it's comprised of 2 episodes from the show) is filled with great humor, ancient treasures and all the swashbuckling action and adventure Indian Jones fans have come to love.

The second half of the film slows down considerably. As mentioned above, the film is actually 2 episodes from the show, and like most t.v. shows, many episodes have distinctly different feels from one another (E.R. for example may have a more light hearted episode occasionally, or one that focuses primarily on one character). Unfortunately, the two shows, while making sense to put them together makes as they are in sequential order, they don't match up very well in tone on style. While the first half is a lot of Indy style action, the second slows to an almost crawl. The first half many will prefer, but the second has it's own merit as well. The two just do not flow together very well.

Still a strong exciting and funny first half (Flanery really gets to do the Indiana Jones thing in this one!), and an interesting (if a bit too ponderous) second half still make up a strong if slightly disjointed finished product. A must see/own for Indy Jones fans, and worth if only to see the invaders fighting Indy on the Ocean liner! A sequence more than worthy in the Indiana Jones adventures!
