"Indiana Jones and the Ashes of Nurhachi"

 

"Indiana Jones and Wu Han are already on the trail of the legendary remains of Nurhachi. Their search begins at the Great Wall of China, where Indy and Wu Han find themselves pursued by Mongol riders and a familiar enemy from the Indiana Jones universe: Nazi villain Albrecht Von Beck. Scarred, ruthless, and very much alive, Von Beck is hunting the same prize — and he is willing to kill anyone who gets there first. The trail leads Indy and Wu Han from a deadly chase across the Great Wall to an ancient tomb filled with traps, mercury, buried secrets, and evidence that someone has already beaten them to the ashes. But the missing ashes are only the beginning. The hunt carries Indy and Wu Han from China to Istanbul and back to the dangerous streets of 1930s Shanghai.  This is an awesome fan-made flick that was a lot of fun and not some slop from Hollywood we get these days.  Give it a go below and enjoy something new and different.
