Bwahahahahaha!

I think it leaves the League as Harrison Ford LIGHT!

The League of (one) Extraordinary Man!

Indiana Jones (I don't see why everone decides he must be dying. The knight lived 700 years!)

Han Solo (The gun user+charmer)

Jack Ryan (The spy)

Dr. Richard Kimball (The Fugitive...looking for revenge!)

President Marshall (Air Force One.)

Captain Alexi Vostrikov (K-19: The Widowmaker. The Techie of the group.)

The knight also was drinking from the Grail regularly. Indy just had one gulp.

Can't really think of an entire list, but has anyone else thought of Jason Bourne?

Yeah, the Grail only granted enternal life if you continued to drink from it regulary, not just one drink. But I would bet that that gulp would have taked maybe 50 years onto his natural life, but that doesn't nessisarily stop ageing, just keeps him alive a bit longer.

The old Indy was played by George Hall.

We know that he was in fairly good health in the 90's, but now he'd be 104.

It's interesting to note that technicly the old Indiana Jones from The Young Indiana Jones Adventures is no longer Indiana Jones cannon, as ol George Lucas went all Star Wars Special Edition on them and erased Old Indy's bits from the resent Video tape releases of the series. The reason being he wants to keep the option to kill Indy at the end of Indiana Jones 4 open.

George Lucas is stupid....and fat.

Oh man, Special Edition (shakes head). Don't even get me started on my "why the hell would Han let Greedo shoot first" rant. That scene was a defining moment for Solo in the classic Star Wars.

Erased Old Indy! ARRRGGGG! The modern story's ending where he's put in jail is so funny! And the scene from the pilot where he slides down the bannister! Priceless!

You know, I'd actually see that movie. And now that we've had Being John Malkovich, I'm not so sure it couldn't possibly be made.
I'd be great just to see Ford play seven different characters and no one in the
film ever noticing that they all look alike...
Also, I think you sort of forgot the Replicant Cop tossed backwards in time (legal since we get Han Solo in...)

Bah! I can't believe I forgot Blade Runner! I'm so embarrassed; I wish everyone else was dead.

Time travel is fine in my estimation; I don't think all the original League existed at the same time in their respective stories.
