** Indy's failed attempt to impersonate a Scottish laird in ''The Last Crusade'' is an in-character version, if not a [[Lampshading]] of this trope, which originated with Harrison Ford attempting to mimic [[Sean Connery]]'s accent while playing around.

** [[Magnum PI|Tom Selleck]] was Spielberg's original pick as Indy, but Selleck was unable to get out of his contract to ''[[Magnum PI|Magnum, P.I.]]'', thus paving the way for Harrison Ford. Take a look at ''High Road To China'' (1983) to get an idea of what Selleck might have been like. We dodged a bullet there. Not to mention Ford's acting career might have ended with ''[[Star Wars]]'' just like most of his costars if George Lucas hadn't gotten him a second iconic role.

*** The DVD features include a screen test of Selleck, where he certainly doesn't display the charming badassery Ford brought to the role.

** There were loads of unfilmed scripts written for ''Young Indy'' episodes before the series was canceled. One involved Indy meeting a young Rene Belloq and unearthing a crystal skull in South America, an idea Lucas reused (obviously) for the [[MacGuffin]] of ''Crystal Skull''.
