Nick announces a "Legends of the Hidden Temple" The Movie

[JTH]

Nickelodeon announced eariler today that they are working on a TV movie adaptation of their popular mid 90's game show, taking elements of the show and putting it into an Indiana Jones adventure style movie.

It is set to air later this year.

It sounds kinda cool, anything that could make a possible reboot of this show, loved it as a kid and I put the entire series on DVD to enjoy. So I'll definitely give this a look when it airs.

Since I was a fan of the original show, I sorta wonder what will this movie will be like.

[Wildcat]

This is pretty cool. Always watched the show.

Makes no sense but if they got with enough nostalgia and sillyness this jr. Indiana Jones movie could be entertaining for me. I'm in!

[Wildcat]

How does is it make no sense? Every episode was based on given story and the temple itself could certainly be turned into a legitimate cave or caves with different obstacles. That was the whole point of the temple.

[Allio]

the twist of the movie was that it wasn't the character's choice and theirs alone.

I just found this awesome video with the host of the show answering some interesting questions.

And the video also reminded me I actually kind of got to participate in the show. I say kind of because it was a stage show called "U Pick Nick". During the summer of 1998 a local amusement park Silver Dollar City had this stage show all summer, I watched it plenty of times and got to be a participant twice. I don't remember the show very well and I can't find any information whatsoever online of its existence so I'm going by memory. The audience got to pick the shows from Nickelodeon which you would participate in and a small version of them was used. One of them was based of Legends of the Hidden temple. Of course I knew the game by heart since I had seen the show many times and won and the price was getting slimed which was pretty cool. Don't remember what other shows were represented but there were like 4-6 different ones and only two or three used in any one show all ending with the slime part. Cool memories, I had totally forgotten about that.

An Olmec talking head game show. A revival for a game show sure but not a movie. Yeah they can go a Young Indiana Jones route but it'll be taking plenty of liberties, which while I'm ok with you can't say it makes perfect sense.

edit: found evidence of its existence with an amusing quote and a picture of a t-shirt which I also received for free as a price, mine was black though.
The "U Pick Nick" show involves input from the audience. Choices are made throughout the show. Your children will know the answers to so many television trivia questions, it borders on embarrassing - so much for limiting tube time.

I still wish I could find more pics or info on it though.

[Wildcat]

They had a budget and were only allowed 8 champions a year? Is that implying it was rigged to keep within that limit?

The only way I could see this was to intentionally make the "item" impossible to get to like having temple guards purposely come out instead of being assigned to certain rooms. If this the case that's pretty surprising and sad.

I don't know why the shrine of the silver monkey was so hard. It was so obvious when the pieces were not aligned together and there were only 3 huge parts.
An Olmec talking head game show. A revival for a game show sure but not a movie Why? A big spirit/entity that guards a temple is exactly what it was supposed to represent. It certainly was not the first talking tiki/golem head in fiction.

[THGhost]

Never heard of the show, looks similar to The Crystal Maze so maybe I'll check the movie out.

Legends of the Hidden Temple was such a unique and fun game show when I was kid. I would watch repeats countless times over the years. However, when the first season was going through its first airing, it took me a while to not be so afraid of the temple guards. It seems like this TV movie will be like an Indiana Jones film for younger audiences. I hope the elements they bring from the game show can work in the fictional world of a film.

[The Deadman]

Olmec to be the final boss, pls.

[ranger_scout]

Kirk Fogg, who hosted the show, will have a part in the film. :D

And I shitted a brick thinking it was some New Legend of Korra news and....then my hope and dreams were destroyed...... :(

Looks great, they're going for the nostalgia punch which is what they needed to do.

The trailer debuted and Comic-Con and "here it is now!"

[sdp]

Just saw the trailer and the 360 experience and both are good. They seem to understand it's a silly idea and making it a kids movie that is tongue in cheek, this is the only way to make the movie make any sense at all so I'm up for it.

[ranger_scout]

I watched it last night. I enjoyed it because I was just a kid when the show first aired and it was nice to revisit my childhood. Seeing Kirk Fogg reprising his role from the game show made me smile and so did hearing Dee Bradley Baker's voice for Olmec again. I really liked all of the references to the colored animals and performing the tasks in certain rooms. There was even the 3:00 countdown to bring an object back to the front of the temple. Plus, the clock looked exactly the same as the show's.

Here is Andre the Black Nerd's review of the film along with his thoughts the Double Dare reunion.

But that thread is for all things TMNT related, so it's ok here.

I'd be happy to see posters of the icons that represented the former animal teams in the old show; the Green Monkeys were my favorite next to the Red Jaguars.

[Wildcat]

The movie was ok. Cool to see the temple made in live action.

I was disappointed with the Double Dare reunion though. They did not play an actual "game". All they did was throw out a few ridiculously easy questions, cheaply done physical challenges (if you could even call them that) and a few pieces of the course. I'm assuming only the ones most people remember.

I wanted an actual episode of Double Dare with the celebrities and contestants with the real challenges and full obstacle course.
