* This film remarkably has a TearJerker, SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} ''AND'' Funny all at the same time ''without a word of dialogue.'' When Henry Sr., Marcus, and Sallah watch the tank which they think Indy's on top of go over a cliff, they all stand heartbroken on the edge of it...not noticing Indy, having obviously lept free with moments to spare, pulling himself up the cliff edge only a few feet away. After getting back on solid ground, Indy gets up and dazedly walks to them, staring confusedly along with everyone else as if to say "What are you guys looking at?".

* When Indy has to step on a series of tiles to spell "Iehova" out, he forgets that in Latin, Jehova begins with an I. Him falling through the floor due to stepping on the wrong tile isn't funny on its own, but the way he reads out "J..." in a tone that sounds like he's teaching a child the alphabet before just ''plummeting'' definitely is.

By the time the Germans catch up, the boat is far enough away they can't see that Indy and Henry Sr. aren't in it, so start piling into another boat to pursue. Unfortunately, they're barely in before Indy and Henry Sr. come barreling out in a motorcycle with sidecar. If Indy had waited another two minutes, he would have made a clean getaway.
