The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it...I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it [the original OT] doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it.

When you do a movie like this [Indy 4], a sequel that's very, very anticipated, people anticipate ultimately that it's going to be the Second Coming...And it's not. It's just a movie. Just like the other movies. You probably have fond memories of the other movies. But if you went back and looked at them, they might not hold up the same way your memory holds up.
