You know what struck me, seeing the movie this time around? The number of similarities to the Star Wars trilogy. Many poignant notes reminded me of what I guess is Luke and Leia's theme, are something like that; Williams couldn't help but cross-pollinate, given the proximity of the two projects (by my way of thinking).
Then there are the images: some of the shots on the island, near the end of the movie, could be Tatooine. I half expected a jawa's
oo-te-de!to startle Indy into firing that rocket launcher. A shot in the German submarine smacked of the Death Star's guts. And you have to admit, Marion's (Karen Allen) shots from the German plane sure looked a lot like Leia's oh-so-memorable shots from Jabba's barge.
Not that I'm complaining. I just thought it was neat. I really like this story. I don't remember his other adventures as well, to be honest, but something tells me this one's the best. We'll see.
