* The climactic shot of the film, when Indy gets to watch a giant flying saucer demolish Akator and disappear is an amazing sequence. The music for the scene is [[https://youtu.be/nZUW-RSkThA?t=75 equally awe-inspiring]].

No meta example, see this query.


* We can't forget the one thing that makes this movie entirely worth it: Marion returns and marries Indy. That's not just awesome for the movie, that's a meta-awesome moment for the writers for planning this, and Karen Allen for coming back. It's also probably the one thing people universally like about this movie.

* One uncredited Russian {{Mook}} gets a SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder moment during the jeep chase. After being punched out of the jeep, he manages to grab onto the back of it and hang on for a minute or two while being dragged across the forest floor. He then manages to pull himself back into the jeep just long enough to grab the crystal skull and throw it to Spalko in her jeep before Indy knocks hi moo the forest floor.

Added DiffLines:

* The cemetery guardians put on quite a show when they attack Indy and Mutt with martial arts moves and then duck down into holes in the ground to resurface elsewhere. It helps that they are less genuinely malicious than most antagonists in the series.

* Indy finds the magnetic alien corpse in the warehouse by dumping powder on the ground and tossing bullets in the air, then following them when they are magnetically drawn to the corpse.

* At one point in the jeep fight, Spalko and Marion end up in the same jeep. Marion hits the brakes to send Spalko flying out of the vehicle. Spalko grabs into the machine gun mounted on the hood, turns it around and then uses it to open fire at the driver of the moving car that she's dangling from.
* The way Spalko crushes one of the army ants between her knees when it tries to get at her is fairly cool.


Added DiffLines:

* At the bottom of the last waterfall, Mutt is the one to figure out the last part of Ox's riddle to reach Akator.

* Surviving a nuclear explosion by climbing into a refrigerator. Despite being a NeverLiveItDown moment for the series, it's just another example of the IndyPloy working when it logically shouldn't.

* Surviving How about Indy surviving a nuclear explosion by climbing into a refrigerator. Despite being refrigerator! Say whatever you want about the moment, whether it is a NeverLiveItDown moment for the series, series or not, it's just clearly another example of the IndyPloy working even when it logically shouldn't.there is heavy opposition against it!
