Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion:
 * Harrison Ford apparently became Genre Savvy about whether somebody escaped or was merely let go. He also says, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
 * This isn't the first time John Hurt has been messed up by aliens.
 * Banned in China: Averted in Russia. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation tried to get it banned, but failed.
 * The Character Died with Him:
 * Fake Russian: Plenty of it.
 * Saved From Development Hell: It took 19 years for the film to be released, mainly because it took that long for Lucas, Spielberg and Ford to find a script they liked.
 * Technology Marches On: Somewhat inverted; to better match the previous three movies, this movie was filmed rather that shot digitally.
 * What Could Have Been: Early script treatments (from the 90's) supposedly had Indy communicate frequently with the alien, who would have had a name and a backstory.
