- Fanon Welding: Many Indiana Jones fans consider this film to be a direct prequel to The Temple of Doom due to the similarities between the two films, and the fact that the Thugee are the villains in both films.
- Tear Jerker:
- Din's Heroic Sacrifice warning people who aren't even his own of the trap waiting for them can wring tears from a stone.
- For that matter, The Guru's fearlessly sacrificing his life so his grand plan to defeat the British especially after giving his British captive-captors hell works too.
- Values Dissonance: Some have argued that the depiction of Indians in this film is stereotypical and racist. And few modern-day South Asians will find much to smile about in a movie that lionizes British colonizers as heroes and demonizes the Indian resistence fighting for independence.
