* When the Jones gang are attacked by natives at UsefulNotes/FranciscoDeOrellana's tomb, one of them was about to shoot a poison dart at an unsuspecting Mutt, only for Indy to pop up and blow it right back into the native's throat. This mirrors the same trick Bugs Bunny used in the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts "Bushy Hare" and "Pre-Hysterical Hare".

* "Somewhere, your grandpa is laughing."" Even funnier when you realize that it could apply to ''both'' of Mutt's grandfathers.

** Our old friend, the Wilhelm Scream, returns... as Mutt nearly runs down a college kid in the university library.
You probably expected a Wilhelm in the film (it's pretty much OnceAnEpisode in this franchise), but ''not'' there.

* The argument between Indy, Mutt, and Marion after Mutt finds out that [[spoiler:[[LukeIAmYourFather Indy is his dad]]]]. He takes it better than that [[Franchise/StarWars other kid]], though he also spends some time in denial. Then the Soviet guarding them is so annoyed by the continued arguing that he gags Marion - who is still able to shout despite her mouth being tied shut. (She must have had some practice after ''Raiders''.) And ''then'' all three of them overpower the guard before the big jungle chase.

* The [[spoiler: wedding]] scene. When the pastor says, [[spoiler: "You may kiss your bride"]], Marion hands him her bouquet and kisses Indy. The look on Mutt's face is priceless.

* A meta-example. When Creator/HarrisonFord appeared on ''The Tonight Show'' to promote the movie, Jay Leno played a "clip" from the movie--an old man hobbling along with a walker with the theme tune playing, obviously poking fun at Ford's advanced age. As the audience roared with laughter, Ford, not to be outdone, cracked, "Actually, that's my stunt double."

** Equally funny is Spalko's taunt to Mutt as she is more-or-less tossing him aside as the duel ends. Bonus points for the double entendre!
--> "You fight like a young man! Eager to begin, quick to finish!"

** Which, while a funny moment itself, becomes even more so when you remember that he previously (in the older movies) told his students to 'forget about treasure hunts' and that '90% of archaeology is done in a library'.

* The warehouse escape. Indy tangled with one of the soldiers and the fight makes its way into a secret testing chamber for a rocket sled. As you can most assuredly predict, they wind up activating it and when the rocket starts blasting, the soldiers that followed them are charbroiled alive! Meanwhile Indy and the lone soldier get a ride they’ll not soon forget when the ride the rocket sled all the way to the end of the tracks at around Mach-3! The g-force leaves them with the most hilarious faces as they take a [[BlatantLies leisurely ride]] through the desert night. And once it finally stops, Indy looks to see the soldier passed out and resting his head on his shoulder!
