These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
''For the [[Atari 2600]] game '' '''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Video Game)|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' ''', see [[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)/YMMV|here]].''▼
▲''For the [[Atari 2600]] game ''
----
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: [[Anti
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is [[Badass Bookworm|Indy]] a true-blue hero? Is he a [[Blood Knight]] trying to break out of the humdrum existence of a university professor? Or is he a underdeveloped manchild trying to live out the adolescent fantasies of youth with a "secret identity"?
** Most likely all three.
** A good number of fans take [[Absent
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: If there's one thing just about every fan agrees on, it's that bringing back Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood was ''awesome.''
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: In ''The Last Crusade'', Elsa is severely traumatized, screaming her head off, {{spoiler|as Donovan dies right in front of her eyes, from something she delibarately did to him no less,}} and yet in the next scene she acts as if nothing happened.
* [[Awesome Music]]: The iconic theme song, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bTpp8PQSog of course.] Five movies and over four decades, it has ''never'' gotten old.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: ''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' has Mutt ''swinging with hundreds of CGI monkeys''. Also counts as [[Narm]].▼
* [[Broken Base]]:
** ''Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull''. Some people say it is total crap, others say it was fun but not up to ''Indiana Jones'' standards, some liked the acting and characters but not the writing, some liked it all except for the [[Gainax Ending]], Shia LaBeouf blames himself and his monkey-swinging Tarzan act, and then there are those that hold it as being better than ''Temple of Doom'' but not up to the standards of the "Nazi" movies. Really, it isn't broken so much as ''shattered into thousands of pieces''.
Line 23 ⟶ 25:
** [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste|Spielberg and Lucas wanted Willie to be completely different from Marion]], to the point that Kate Capshaw was asked to dye her brown hair blond.
* [[Deconstructive Parody]]: ''Temple of Doom'' showed accompanying Indy on his adventures can be fatal to normal folks.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants|Draco In A Leather Dress]] - [[The Baroness|Irina Spalko]] is one of the rare female examples. In her defense, she does have ''some'' genuine [[Anti
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Henry Jones Sr.
** For many a little Asian boy in the 1980s, [[Badass Adorable|Short Round]] was the ONLY positive and heroic Asian role model he could relate to.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: [[The Baroness|Irina Spalko]].
** Elsa from ''The Last Crusade''. Holy hell, that woman was gorgeous.
* [[First Installment Wins]]: Of all the ''Indiana Jones'' works, ''[[
** Unless it's ''The Last Crusade'', because of the quest for the Grail and [[Sean Connery]] as Henry Jones Sr. But having said that, ''Crusade'' is the most well-remembered of the sequels largely because of its faithfulness in tone to the original.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: From ''Raiders'': [[Snakes
** The scene in ''Last Crusade'' where Henry Sr. subdues a Nazi soldier by spraying his face with ink from his pen, leading Marcus to say "[[The Pen Is Mightier]] than the sword!", is funnier in light of the ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' "Celebrity Jeopardy!" sketch where [[Sean Connery]] <ref>
** The "no ticket" scene is much funnier now that [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073231/Big-Man-Scotrail-ticket-video-Alan-Pollock-throws-fare-dodger-Sam-Main-train.html something similar happened in 2011.] It counts double when you realize that Indy tried to pass himself as a Scottish Lord earlier in the film. "How dare he?"
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
Line 37 ⟶ 39:
** "We have top men working on it"
** The [[Indy Hat Roll]].
** "Snakes. [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]? I hate snakes!"
** "No ticket."
** The infamous scene of Toht's face melting is used as a reaction image similarly to the [[Your Head Asplode|head explosion]] from ''[[Scanners]]''. ''[[Cracked.com]]'' and ''[[Topless Robot]]'' use these regularly.
** '''KALI MA!!!'''
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: The fedora.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Most of the scenes that aren't horrifying are amusing.
▲* [[
* [[The Scrappy]]: Willie, Short Round, and Mutt.
* [[Ships That Pass in
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: Prevented by, of all people, the MPAA in ''Raiders''. The model of {{spoiler|Belloq's}} head which explodes during the film's climax can be seen in the behind-the-scenes footage of the DVD, and was laughably unconvincing. However, the MPAA objected to the blood and brain fragments that could be seen after the explosion, and so the film makers obscured the sequence by superimposing flames over the footage... which had the side-effect of covering up the model's deficiencies and making the scene look pretty convincing!
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: According to some people, ''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' had plenty of this.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: That bridge in ''The Last Crusade'', the leap of faith. You don't even ''see'' it until the camera pans and throws it off kilter!
* [[What Do You Mean
