The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Attack of the Hawkmen

This was part of the four Young Indiana Jones films that came out in 1995. In this one, Indy and Remy try to end the war but fail and Remy becomes a spy cook and Indy a photographer. Apparently nobody last long with this job.

Then Indy and his pilot get shot down and captured. We never hear from the pilot again but Indy has dinner with the Red Baron and the Germans and they politely escort him on a transport truck. Then an action scene occurs and Indy escapes before the big showdown with the Red Baron.

Then the last segment has Indiana Jones in Germany as a secret spy and even gets parachuted in and has to hide the parachute before a German spits him. Here he has to deflect Anthony Fokker from building a super weapon from the Germans.

This one is a really good and exciting episode that made me want to learn more about Red Baron and even Fokker. The DVD set has documentaries on them which is a welcome edition. I highly recommend it for history buffs.

I didn't even get to see all of this movie, but I saw most of it. The movie was all right. Young Indy had to venture into Germany and deliver some paper to a German industrialist. It's not a bad story, but the ending was a little inconclusive. Still, I'd give it about a 6//10.

First off, sound man Ben Burtt proves he can direct here. Attack of the Hawkmen is one of the most fun Young Indy episodes. As a bonus, if you are a Lucas fan, you may spot Threepio Anthony Daniels with a French accent in one scene, as Francois, where Indy is briefed in a big hurry by a couple of scientist types. I am surprised his credit is not more prominently featured here on the net. You have to click MORE to get the full credit list. It's just a cameo, but refreshing for those of us baffled how Star Wars actors can be so seldom used.
