* ActorAllusion: Sab Shimano voices Archibald Tan, a [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Chinese antiques dealer who owns a shop in San Francisco]].
* TroubledProduction: Lucasarts originally planned the game as next-gen showcase for the then-new Platform/Xbox360 and Platform/PlayStation3. However, the original plans for the game proved to be far too ambitious, with several of the new technologies the developers planned to incorporate simply not working together. Combined with staff being pulled off the project in order to help out with ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'', this called the project to fall hopelessly behind schedule, leading it to be cancelled. However, only the 360 and [=PS3=] were being developed in-house at Lucasarts; {{Reformulated|Game}} versions for the Platform/{{Wii}}, Platform/NintendoDS, Platform/PlayStationPortable had been outsourced to other developers, so Lucasarts went ahead and released them.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Had the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions been released, they would have looked magnificent. All that remains is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrEcELc0gXg teaser trailer]].
** A novelization of the game was commissioned and penned by Bantam-era ''Indiana Jones'' novelist Bob [=McGregor=] (and would've been his return to the franchise after over a decade). However, game delays ultimately caused Del Rey to cancel the novel. [=McGregor=] finally [[https://soundcloud.com/themysticalunderground/sets/rob-macgregor-indiana-jones released]] it in 2021 as an audiobook.
