History YMMV / IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade

** In this film, Creator/SeanConnery plays Franchise/IndianaJones' father. In ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', Connery would play [[Literature/KingSolomonsMine Allan Quatermain]], the [[UrExample figurative father]] of {{Adventure Archaeologist}}s like Indy.

* MoralEventHorizon: Not that Donovan was a saint before it, but [[spoiler:shooting Henry Sr. just to force's Indy hand in trying to reach the Grail]].

* ArtisticLicenseCars: The King of Hatay's description of the Rolls Royce he's given. It's a 20/25, but he calls it a Phantom II, and describes the specifications of the later 25/30. He also uses the power rating for tax purposes, not the true output.
** Then again, the King could have simply been wrong in his assessment.

* {{Badass}}: Out of character version. Creator/StevenSpielberg said in an interview that Creator/SeanConnery was cast as Henry Jones Sr. because he and Creator/GeorgeLucas asked themselves who could possibly be badass enough to be Indiana Jones's father. They both settled on Film/JamesBond.

* MemeticMutation: "No ticket!"

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Generally seen as a big improvement over its predecessor, with some even arguing that it's [[EvenBetterSequel better]] than ''[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Raiders]]''.

* [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Crowning Music Of Awesome: Arguably [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXd1D3LuVbM the best]] and most nuanced of the ''Indy'' scores.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Nick Gillard, who was the fight coordinator for the ''StarWars'' prequel trilogy, is the Nazi who watches Indy fighting through the periscope, and is knocked out after he mocks him.

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''[[IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Temple Of Doom]]'' had a decidedly mixed reaction, with Creator/StevenSpielberg and GeorgeLucas admitting they let their personal problems interfered with their work. They explicitly sought to go back to the first movie - return to a more light-hearted adventure, as well as bringing back such elements as Marcus, Sallah and the Nazis. By all accounts, the duo succeeded.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Elsa, in-film even, with Indy's reaction to her death.]]

* CompleteMonster: Donovon. [[spoiler:Sending mooks into death traps for a prize he himself wants and then shooting Henry Sr. in cold blood.]]

** The python young Indy encounters on the circus train looks extremely fake. Especially since Indy falls into a crate full of actual snakes almost immediately after that.
