Indiana Jones at the KHOP?

July 16th, 2007

Okay so Indiana Jones hasn’t been spotted eating a stack of mac nut pancakes with coconut syrup at Ken’s House of Pancakes but it could happen. Harrison Ford and the cast of the fourth and final Indiana Jones movie series are filming in Hilo and parts of Kea’au. One of the producers said they considered 14 other countries before deciding to film in Hilo after seeing the unique charm the city has. It is also bringing lots of work to about 125 locals and many of the crew are staying in town at the Hilo Hawaiian and Naniloa but the big stars are hiding out in more secluded digs for their stay on the Big Island. In case you’re wondering, Ford, 65, is doing some of his own stunts and yes, he still fits into his Indy pants after all these years.

So if you’re in Hilo you may be able to do a little star gazing of a different kind.

I can’t wait for this movie. It has been so long - not only since the last movie but also since they announced that they were going to do another one. Harrison just kept getting older as they continued to delay this thing but it’s good to know that he is still able to do the stunts. The fact that they are filming again in Hawaii is icing on the cake. Kauai was a supporting actor in Raiders of the Lost Ark as far as I am concerned.
