What, no plane fight?

[–]SilverAg11 11 points12 points ago

That was a great part too :( Pretty cool though.

[–]Saveyoself 11 points12 points ago

Out of all the details to leave out, why skip the plane flight?

[–]joerogan4life 0 points1 point ago

Pitfall called.

It wants it's game back.

Let Joe Rogan drop some science on your brain pan.

[–]antdude 1 point2 points ago

Jungle Hunt as well.

[–]thecal714 2 points3 points ago

Right? That's the reason I came to the comments and is, without a doubt, one of the better movie fight scenes.

[–]TwoSwords[S] 29 points30 points ago

Link to quite a few more, including Back to the Future and Aliens.

[–]Special_Guy 12 points13 points ago

Wow tripod.com is still around. Time to see if my old website is still up.

[–]truestoryrealtalk 4 points5 points ago

Well, is it? :p

[–]N45H 2 points3 points ago

It inevitably is - but this means he is gone forever. Claro?

[–]Special_Guy 2 points3 points ago

I was able to log in but cant find a way to view site or open the media manager. Been more then 10 years can't beleve I remembered password and have the same email account.

[–]truestoryrealtalk 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the update. Any chance you remember the URL so you could just go directly to it? Or maybe find it through google?

[–]esDragon 3 points4 points ago

Thanks for the link? Do you happen to know what "Purgatory" and its two sequels refers to? Google wasn't all that helpful.

[–]bamfsEnnui 1 point2 points ago

Not positive as I haven't actually seen it, but IMDB came up with a western called Purgatory that could fit the bill. I'm assuming that the 3 parts are just all one to be continued type of thing? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158131/

[–]esDragon 1 point2 points ago

I was wondering ... I'm inclined to think it must be awesome for these folks to rank the trilogy up there with the rest of the greats ... but it stars Eric Roberts, so I'm skeptical. But, hell, a western in a town located between heaven and hell? I'll give it a shot!

[–]MrMember 15 points16 points ago

Reminds me of the classic ASCII Star Wars.

Open a terminal or command prompt, type in:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

[–]kaiden333 2 points3 points ago

I'm surprised that I still remember that. (W7 using might have to download or mess with the settings of telnet)

[–]Hotrootsoup 7 points8 points ago

You have to enable it I think.

http://www.fettesps.com/windows-7-enable-telnet/

[–]HawnSolo 1 point2 points ago

Or just download PuTTY.

[–]idrink211 2 points3 points ago

I've never seen this before... watching it right now. Is it the entire movie, line for line?

[–]Ran4 2 points3 points ago

No, it just stops halfway through afaik :( With no warning.

[–]ComplainsAboutDvotes 0 points1 point ago

How come I have never heard of this before? You have changed my life.

[–]LogsGetBuiltToo 190 points191 points ago

[–]toodrunktofuck 25 points26 points ago

Took a little more than a minute. Worth the watch. Almost forgot about that movie's plot.

[–]TurboDisturbo 2 points3 points ago

Great now the song is in my head

[–]banned_from_all_subs 0 points1 point ago

That gif took 10x more to load than OP's gif.

[–]TheStatusBro 34 points35 points ago

Holy fuck, did i seriously just watch that whole thing.

[–]kNyne 13 points14 points ago

how long is it?

[–]Special_Guy 20 points21 points ago

Few min, not feature langth but has most everything

[–]DTX120 1 point2 points ago

me too

[–]anal_smiter 67 points68 points ago

What is this? A gif for ants!?

[–]Thrill_Of_It 13 points14 points ago

Control, scroll wheel up.

[–]Tollaneer -1 points0 points ago

Alternatively you can just click and drag on RES

[–]redthursdays 9 points10 points ago

how can we be expected to watch indiana jones in a gif, if we cant even see the PIXELS!? it has to be at least...THREE TIMES bigger than this!

[–]Jimmies_Rustler 1 point2 points ago

Can't even see the pixels

Three times bigger

Or we could just get a higher resolution gif. Three times the size, non of the pixels.

[–]redthursdays 1 point2 points ago

clearly you're missing the zoolander reference

[–]Jimmies_Rustler 1 point2 points ago

Clearly I am.

[–]redthursdays 1 point2 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ-8IuUkJJc

you're one of today's 10,000, it would seem

[–]Thefriendlyfaceplant 7 points8 points ago

Imgur has a max file size for gifs.

[–]youhavemyaxe 1 point2 points ago

That is well over 257kbps or whatever that file is

[–]antdude 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]duckinferno 7 points8 points ago

This gif was created by Top. Men.

[–]BuckeyeBentley 2 points3 points ago

You could warn them, if only you spoke Havitos.

[–]kcr2gold 6 points7 points ago

Listened to the Indiana Jones theme song while watching this. It made it that much better.

[–]ieatbees 3 points4 points ago

Was it an 8-bit version?

[–]MyPasswordIs_Taco 4 points5 points ago

Answer this man.

[–]xconde 5 points6 points ago

Looks like I'm playing a Lucas Arts adventure.

[–]jxcream 5 points6 points ago

For some reason this makes me think of old video games, reminds me a bit of the James Bond game on Gameboy.

[–]TypicalHaikuResponse 2 points3 points ago

I sure do love when gifs are amimated.

[–]VStheUNIVERSE 6 points7 points ago

I'm quite saddened they left out the plane scene...

[–]hmanders1 4 points5 points ago

I'm on my phone. The backlight dimmed 5 times watching this

[–]fattehboi 1 point2 points ago

that was actually really interesting. I started remembering each of those scenes based on tiny little pixels.

Anyone notice toward the end a few of the frames were done kinda shittily, as though some intern hopped in for a few scenes? Then it returned to the sweet pixely goodness.

[–]NotAKSpartanKiIIer 1 point2 points ago

It's done by like 5 guys, the names are at the top of the screen when their scenes come up. I'm guessing the one dude didn't like pixels. :P

[–]thelordofcheese 1 point2 points ago

Ridiculous.

[–]backtothedoucher 1 point2 points ago

What I thought of as soon as I read "feature length".

[–]reapapear 0 points1 point ago

I read he's being denied access to newspapers and television. That means he's being hold tighter than Anders Behring Breivik.........

[–]I_RAPE_TO_POTATO 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of Fate of Atlantis.

[–]stillbatting1000 1 point2 points ago

Such an underrated game. Wish they made that into a film instead of making Crystal Skull.

[–]I_RAPE_TO_POTATO 0 points1 point ago

But what part would LeBouf have played? There wouldn't have been any way for him to shit up the movie.

[–]ruffthecrimedog 0 points1 point ago

for best results listen with theme song

[–]TheRealWondertruffle 2 points3 points ago

If you have a telnet client (windows has one but it isn't installed by default), open a connection to towel.blinkenlights.nl - you can see all of Star Wars Episode IV in ASCII art.

[–]Rokursoxtv 1 point2 points ago

And the Oscar goes to...

[–]SKSmokes 1 point2 points ago

Watching this I kept getting flashbacks to the old 2600 game version of this. It was better than other movie type games IMO....well in my 9 year old opinion since that's how old I was the last time I played it.

[–]pancake_mines 1 point2 points ago

It's 2 minutes and 26 seconds long.

[–]noeatnosleep 1 point2 points ago

This is amazing.

[–]ThisIsDK 1 point2 points ago

It's 896 frames.

[–]MrSelatcia 1 point2 points ago

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

[–]2Fast2Finkel 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the Gatsby Game.

[–]scroogemcfucky 1 point2 points ago

Was the brief exterior shot of the college near the beginning referenced from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure?

[–]chonnyton 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the old Hugo games for DOS.

[–]ElPazerino 1 point2 points ago

Tä tä tä täääää tä tä täääää tä tä tä tääääää tä tä tä tä tä .....

[–]hamtoucher 1 point2 points ago

obligatory plug for the excellent British site www.b3ta.com , where FoldsFive originally posted all these way back when in ~2006/7

nostalgia.......

[–]farmthis 1 point2 points ago

It skipped all of Venice :(

[–]please_please_smee 1 point2 points ago

FoldsFive used to post on B3ta when I was younger. Always been talented.

[–]daveyeah 1 point2 points ago

He probably posted there when he was younger, too.

[–]SkullRunner 1 point2 points ago

Watched the whole thing, imagined the music with each scene.

[–]nathanb065 1 point2 points ago

I've never seen the movie...and now that this gif was created, I will never need to! :)

[–]craxkheadjenkins 1 point2 points ago

Having never seen this movie.. I have no idea what is going on

[–]Antiwar_armadillo 1 point2 points ago

Listen to while watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pNlMgH2p-Y

[–]root88 1 point2 points ago

I thought I was watching a screen cap of Pitfall there for a minute.

[–]takebacks 1 point2 points ago

It was actually made by various members of b3ta.com - their usernames are at the top of their section. I remember seeing this posted on b3ta years ago, and it's still as impressive seeing it today.

[–]LeftBehind83 1 point2 points ago

I remember when games were as graphically advanced as this gif.

[–]TheDarkNightwing 1 point2 points ago

I had an "animation" class one semester in middle school that was basically making things like this. My proudest achievements were works inspired by Resident Evil 2 and Duke Nukem.

[–]ComplainsAboutDvotes 0 points1 point ago

Do you still have them?

[–]TheDarkNightwing 1 point2 points ago

I wish! This was before flash drives and cd back up were available to students.

[–]NotAKSpartanKiIIer 1 point2 points ago

For those of you wondering. It's done by like 5 guys, the names are at the top of the screen when their scenes come up. Some of them are better than others. Still good none the less. I wonder if someone who hasn't seen the movie understand it from that.

[–]Ruvokian 1 point2 points ago

What? Gif with no sound?

[–]SquatinBear 1 point2 points ago

Snakes? Why'd it have to be snakes?

[–]crackercider 1 point2 points ago

I whistled the Indians Jones theme song the entire time.

[–]Pizza_The_Hutt_ 1 point2 points ago

Man, does he hate snakes.

[–]trask_ulgo 1 point2 points ago

dude, spoilers

[–]pantiloons -1 points0 points ago

type telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl into command prompt. enjoy watching star wars in text.

[–]ruffthecrimedog 1 point2 points ago

for best results listen with the theme song

[–]Thats_Good_Stupid -1 points0 points ago

That fucking sucked.

[–]Special_Guy -2 points-1 points ago

Nice. Now how about using flash and maybe a bit larger then 100 x 100px

[–]EstellaHavisham3 0 points1 point ago

I'm super disappointed that he left out the part where the hot student shut her eyes and had a smexy message written on her eye lids.

Always wanted to do that to one of my professors but none of them have been hot enough yet... woe is me.

[–]MineDogger 1 point2 points ago

What, didn't you see the flashing heart over the students when Indy's at university?

[–]EstellaHavisham3 1 point2 points ago

Oh. No I didn't! Woops.

[–]Codidly5 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who was thinking of the theme song the whole time?

[–]BassheadPanda 0 points1 point ago

They got really lazy about halfway through.

[–]scienide 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone else get the impression that the animator lost interest about half way through?

[–]uchideshi94 -1 points0 points ago

No fight by the flying wing? For shame
