Belloque holding that head up high and going : hwwssst, hwwsst! to the natives was pure Kino.

Justin Gomez
It's Sorcerer for the Spielberg audience.
Christopher Powell
This.
Michael Thomas
>Star Wars is an American epic space-opera media franchise created by George Lucas.
>Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking.
Jeremiah Butler
Space Opera, pulp.
Kevin Brown
George says “most people say its a space opera but really its a soap opera”
Charles Hughes
Pulp.
Nathan Sanders
That's vague, adventure can refer to anything.
I'm talking specificallyabout the "travelling around the world exploring ancient temples" kind of adventure.
Adam Jenkins
But pulp also includes other genres like sci-fi.
Brody Cox

Asher Reed
Doesn't the theme of technology vs mysticism qualify it as sci-fi? The films at times focus on the superior power of religious faith over organised force, which is emphasised through advanced technology. I'm playing the devil's advocate here
William Bailey
The term is 'new adventure cinema' and it was crwated by some polish film theorist I think.
Jace Green
Indiana Jones is Imperialist Kino
>claims resources before his rivals can
>puts them in a museum (for profit)
Kinda shocked he's never been to Afghanistan.
Ethan Reyes
The Wages of Fear was better.
Justin Thompson
I'm going with no, because if a theme of mysticism versus technology is all it takes to make a sci-fi movie, then The Ten Commandments is sci-fi because Moses uses the plagues to destroy the Egyptian economy and the Red Sea to destroy all the fancy Egyptian chariots.
Star Wars is too far on the mysticism side to be considered sci-fi, regardless of the fact that it's set in space.
Brayden Hill
whipshit
Asher Allen
>whipshit
Best answer so far.
Tyler Russell
>I'm talking specificallyabout the "travelling around the world exploring ancient temples" kind of adventure.
That's a plot, not a genre. Adventure is a genre, and some adventure movies have ancient temples.
Ryder Stewart
Yes. And horror includes numerous subgenres as well. A creature feature is just as much a horror movie as a zombie apocalypse film even though they are both different genres.
Cameron Thompson
>That's a plot, not a genre.
No it's not. It's a setting, just like sci-fi and fantasy.
Landon Lee
Pulp Adventure in the vein of Alan Quartermaine, Doc Savage, and Johnny Quest.
Blake Stewart
>sci-fi is a setting
lol no
The Anarchronistic Man/The Time Machine and Frankenstein are the initial sci-fi stories. All of them were set in then-contemporary times.
You don't need to have your story set in the future for it to be sci-fi.
Brayden Parker
What's the name of the "indiana jones" subgenre of pulp?
Logan Wood
Whipshit.
Bentley Long
>You don't need to have your story set in the future for it to be sci-fi.
Nobody said that, it's still a sci-fi setting though.
Andrew Jackson
sci-fi isn't a setting.
Jackson Walker
The actual good films genre
