Trivia:
Originally scheduled to be released on VHS in 2000, but put on hold owing to poor sales on the first batch of 'Adventures of Young Indiana Jones' tapes. This chapter was finally released on disc 7 of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Two, December 18, 2007. moreGoofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the Prague Spy is stuck in the closet, he is heard to say "I have to go wee wee". However, his mouth forms the words "I have to go to the bathroom". moreQuotes:
Marcello: [narrating] We have the very best agents in the intelligence community. A very crack squad as the British might say. I am of course Italiano and a master of disguise. I used to be a taylor. And then there is Charles, a Frenchman, who used to be a tax inspector. And Cunningham, the Englishman. In peace time, he wrote novels, thrillers. But now in war time he is acting them out. You will like our little group, I am sure. moreMovie Connections:

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
A potentially exciting series of adventures in the life of young Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) is ruined by a dip into unfunny slapstick comedy. Indy is posted to Barcelona on another intelligence mission to monitor Colonel Schmitd (Kenneth Cranham), a German military man based in Spain. Later on, he ends up in Prague, where a simple mission to install a telephone becomes a bureaucratic nightmare...
The production values and the acting are all still good quality, but the performers are severely hampered by a script which plays all their scenes for out-and-out comedy. Comedy, as demonstrated by the "Star Wars" prequels, is not Lucasfilm's strongest suit. The nonsense that ensues includes a scene where Indy, masquerading as a dancer, communicates with his colleagues using his diamond codpiece (don't ask) and a slapstick scene where Indy chases a vital document through the city streets, upsetting many people along the way. Some of the actors in these sequences are lumbered with French accents right out of "'Allo Allo".
There are still a few gems here. Flanery is still highly watchable as Indy and it's nice to see Danny Webb make a return as Picasso. It's a relief when Tim McInnery turns up as Kafka and he plays his part straight, balancing out the absurdity of the episode.
Not as good as the others but still watchable entertainment.
