Yes, that would be great, too. Indiana Jones and the Flesh-Eating Parasite, however....
Ah, that's right, you always loved monkeys.
Indiana Jones 5. It's official.

I dunno if that would be such a good title...
I think what I like about Monkey God so much is that it evokes mystery and curiosity.
Chilled Monkey God.
lol I had to google chilled monkey for that one
I could just imagine Indy saying, "You didn't tell me there were snakes!"
Then one of his companions replies, "And also flesh eating parasites!"
Indy: "I hate snakes!"

I don't think so but the Vietnam War is such a huge part of what we think of the 70's it sort of makes sense to maybe have Indy exploring over their. Also it's better than my second idea were Indy goes to Studio 54, takes a little bit of stuff he shouldn't and spends the rest of the movie chasing a Dragon.

I’m just remembering Tales of the Gold Monkey, the 80’s Indy ripoff ABC series staring Steven Collins.
^^ I love that show. It's really good.
Well now I am just worried about the monkey. I hope that isn't Stephen Collins.

Sorry for the typo, it was Stephen “Decker Unit” Collins himself in the lead.
Regarding Lost City of the Monkey God, if they set it in the 70's like some have speculated, they could run afoul of the Colombian drug cartel, which according to the story, were using the area, both to hide in and dump bodies. They could also come across some indigenous tribes who are living in the area who don't take kindly to trespass. There are so many natural elements to make a great story and still pay respects to the history and still have a lot of mystery and speculation as to what happened.
There's one part of Douglas Preston's book about his expedition where he describes these huge deadly snakes just hanging from trees that I could see Indy nearly faint from. I'm not doing the description justice, but it was scary just hearing about it!

Are you talking about "The Codex" here, or another book (which I may not have read yet)?
In Gold Monkey's defense, it was conceived and partially developed before Raiders came out. The success of Raiders just made the network realize there was a market for it, so they put it into production.
The Lost City of the Monkey God, as referred to in the article above earlier in the thread. There's an interview with the author where he explains how he went on an expedition there to find the lost city. It's not fiction.
Here, I'll link it again, because I'm kind

I loved Tales of the Gold Monkey. Wow, as Obi-Wan would say, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
^^ It's on DVD, and just as good as it was.
Also, aside from being a period piece, it had more in common with Terry and the Pirates than Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Ah. So the answer is 'another book which I haven't read yet.' Got it.
I like Preston's work, especially his collaborations with Lincoln Child. Agent Pendergast and his adventures are a favorite series.
Ok, keep in mind it's non-fiction. That said, it makes for a fantastic read that is very Indy-like in its nature.
