* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The titular dial is, for all intents and purposes, [[spoiler: a time machine - a unique artefact in the Indiana Jones series and one that lends itself to many potentially exciting idea for Indy's GrandFinale: maybe Indiana Jones, ''the'' AdventureArcheologist, could go on a journey through famous historical events - or he could go through a ContinuityCavalcade and see [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the Ark of the Covenant]], [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom the Sankara Stones]], [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade the Holy Grail]] and the [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull gods of Akator]] in their respective heydeys - or any number of possibilities that arise from the premise of "Indiana Jones fighting time-travelling Nazis". Instead, the Dial acts as a generic McGuffin for most of the film and Indy only ends up travelling through time right near the end of the movie.]]

* AlasPoorScrappy: [[spoiler: If Indiana Jones has a scrappy, it's Mutt Williams. Come this film, we discover Mutt died in Vietnam, and ''destroyed'' Indy and Marion with grief. The way Indy describes it, with his gruff voice breaking, is ''devastating.'']]
* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler:The movie ends with Indy waking up in his New York appartment, with his injuries treated, and the relation with Marion rekindled. While this sounds like a straight happy ending, Indy was the main suspect in a series of murders at the time he previously left New York, and this is never addressed later.]]

* TearJerker: The death of Mutt. Though ''Series/TheYoungIndianaJonesChronicles'' has established that Indy has another child, a daughter Sophie from presumably an earlier marriage that didn't work out, it doesn't make it any less devastating for Indy and Marian. As the aforementioned series was never officially made non-canon, one could only wonder if Indy walked back into Sophie's life because of Mutt's death.

** On the other hand, [[spoiler:Voller wasn't exactly being discreet as events unfolded; Helena could have managed to contact relevant authorities and explain who was really responsible, particularly when there was never any evidence of Indy having a serious motive for the murders and he was just the most convenient known suspect]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/AntonioBanderas previously starred in ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'', a film produced by Creator/StevenSpielberg, which Spielberg was originally going to direct before handing directing duties to Creator/MartinCampbell. Interestingly, Spielberg was also originally going to direct this film, but ultimately handed over directing duties to Creator/JamesMangold and chose to stay involved as an executive producer. So now Banderas appears in two films Spielberg could have directed but instead just produced.

Nope, there are other articles that have this trope before the work releases about casting before the films premiere.
