Technically Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the first sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark as Temple of Doom was a prequel set in 1935 to Raiders 1936. Here are 25 behind the scenes photos from the 1989 classic. Deleted scene from Last Crusade.  When Indy stepped on one of the wrong stones in the trials at the end, a huge spider appears and climbs up Indy.

Tasting of  "peanut butter and chocolate-flavored crispy, sweetened 2-grain cereal". The cereal pieces came in the shapes of the capital letters "E" and "T" to spell everyone's favourite alien. It was said the reason for the flavour was to emulate Reese's Pieces sweets which of course was used in the 1982 Steven Spielberg directed movie.  Here's some more photos along with a retro TV commercial.

Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, produced by Gary Kurtz along with matte paintings by Industrial Light and Magic to name a few, The Dark Crystal is worthy of being mentioned on The Bearded Trio.  Not only that the movie is a cult 80's classic and to be honest we need no excuse to show behind the scenes photos from a movie especially when Jim Henson is shown producing his magic.

There have been some big comic cons this year, Star Wars Celebration, London Film & Comic Con and of course the big one, the San Diego Comic Con.  But there are still plenty to look forward to this year including Destination Star Trek in Birmingham , UK and MCM London Comic Con .  The crowds will be huge but the guest line up will be too.  If you're thinking of attending one of these events here are my top five handy tips to get the most out of these events: 5 - Get There Early Get to a comic con as early as possible.  Especially if you have an early photoshoot.  Most of the time the doors open at 9am and photoshoots can start as early as 9:15.  Turning up ten minutes before is a sure way of you missing that first appointment with your favourite guest.   Get there at least two hours before to guarantee an early entry.  If you do turn up late and have a photoshoot ask a member of staff if you can be fast tracked through. 4 - Do Your Research Turning up to a Comic Con
