Indiana Jones: Difference between revisions

Line 121:

* [[Dressing As the Enemy]]: Appears in several of the movies, and is poked fun at in ''Last Crusade'', where Indy dons the ill-fitting outfit of a conductor aboard a Zeppelin.

* [[Durable Deathtrap]]: In every single movie.

* [[~~Everythings~~ Better With Monkeys]]: A traitor monkey in the first, [[Foreign Queasine|chilled monkey brains]] in the second... and then the one that fits the trope the most, Mutt's [[Tarzan]] scene in the fourth.

* [[Everything's Better With Monkeys]]: A traitor monkey in the first, [[Foreign Queasine|chilled monkey brains]] in the second... and then the one that fits the trope the most, Mutt's [[Tarzan]] scene in the fourth.

* [[Everybody Smokes]]

* [[Expanded Universe]]: And how!! A TV series, comics, video games, novels, young novels, make your own adventure novels, theme park rides... And according to LucasArts, '''everything''' is [[Canon]].

Line 130:

** Janice Le Roi from the "Tomb of the Gods" comics ends up being an [[Expy]] of ''all three'' love interests from the films: she's streetwise and tough as nails (Marion), she's VERY fond of the high life (Willie), and at one point she works with the Nazi Ahnenerbe agents to meet her own ends (Ilsa).

** In the TV series episode ''Palestine, October 1917'', that takes place in the Middle East during [[World War One]], Indiana is helped in a mission by a local agent that is very much like Sallah. [[Averted Trope|He is not however]], as [[All There in The Script|revealed]] by being named Kazim in the credits.

** Yet the head of the Sword Brotherhood in the third film ''[[~~Names~~ the Same|was]]'' named Kazim... Interesting?

** Yet the head of the Sword Brotherhood in the third film ''[[Name's the Same|was]]'' named Kazim... Interesting?

* [[Family Unfriendly Death]]: At least one in every film. Usually the [[Giant Mook]], and the big bads.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: At least one in every film. Usually the [[Giant Mook]], and the big bads.

** [[Lampshaded]] in [[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego Indiana Jones]]. During ''Temple of Doom'', even though the death of {{spoiler|the [[Giant Mook]] under the rock crusher}} was [[Lighter and Softer]] in this version, Willie still had to cover Short Round's eyes.

* [[Family Unfriendly Violence]]: The first two films would be rated PG-13 nowadays, and even then would still skirt the R rating. Raiders had to make a few cuts to avoid that, and ''Temple of Doom'' was one of the driving factors for the MPAA to create PG-13 in the first place.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: The first two films would be rated PG-13 nowadays, and even then would still skirt the R rating. Raiders had to make a few cuts to avoid that, and ''Temple of Doom'' was one of the driving factors for the MPAA to create PG-13 in the first place.

* [[Fanfare]]: The main theme is actually a mix of two fanfares the [[John Williams]] wrote. It was suggested he just combine them.

* [[Franchise Driven Retitling]]: You may have noticed above a shift in the names. Once the franchise's popularity was secured, a franchise wide titling pattern of "Indiana Jones and the..." was introduced. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was later renamed to "Indiana Jones and the Raiders Of The Lost Ark".

Line 142:

* [[Girl of the Week]]: Played straight in the original films, but averted by ''Crystal Skull''.

* [[Glove Slap]]

* [[Good Is Old Fashioned]]

* [[Good Is Old-Fashioned]]

* [[Grave Robbing]]: Hey, it's [[Adventurer Archaeologist|part of the job]].

* [[The Great Depression]]

Line 182:

* [[Rule of Three]]

* [[Running Gag]]: Late actor/stuntman Pat Roach appeared in all three of the original films, sometimes in multiple roles, where his characters usually meet an untimely demise.

** Indy's [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes|snake phobia]].

** Indy's [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|snake phobia]].

* [[Say My Name]]: Count the number of times that the bad guys scream "JOOOOOONES!" And all the times Indy's friends and allies yell "Indy!", or in Henry Sr.'s case, "Junior!".

** And it's Henry Sr.'s gentle, insistent "Indiana" that saves Indy from [[Death By Materialism]].

Line 205:

* [[Tsundere]]: Marion Ravenwood all the way. She goes from yelling at Indy, to dreamily sighing when he leaves to blow up a Soviet transport.

** Willie may also qualify.

* [[Two Fisted Tales]]

* [[Two-Fisted Tales]]

* [[Wallpaper Camouflage]]

* [[We Have Ways of Making You Talk]]

Line 212:

** Indy tried to subvert it again/[[Prequel|beforehand]] in ''Temple of Doom'' but forgot that he lost his gun earlier in the movie.

** A similar situation happened in "Staff of Kings". Though instead of losing the gun, it was out of bullets when he tried shooting "the dragon".

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes]]: Indy is afraid of snakes, Indy's dad is afraid of rats and Mutt of scorpions. Of course, this means they all encounter the subject of their debilitating phobias again and again in a series of [[Contrived Coincidence|contrived coincidences]]. Mind you, is Mutt's reaction to the scorpion a genuine fear of scorpions, or the normal person's reaction to seeing [[Big Creepy Crawlies|a massive scorpion]]?

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Indy is afraid of snakes, Indy's dad is afraid of rats and Mutt of scorpions. Of course, this means they all encounter the subject of their debilitating phobias again and again in a series of [[Contrived Coincidence|contrived coincidences]]. Mind you, is Mutt's reaction to the scorpion a genuine fear of scorpions, or the normal person's reaction to seeing [[Big Creepy Crawlies|a massive scorpion]]?

** Henry Sr.'s fear of rats could come just from his being a Medieval historian and knowing the "Black Death" that ravaged Europe in the [[Middle Ages]] was caused by fleas on rats brought by ships from China.

* [[World War II]]: Leading up to it, at least. Indy's military service during the war is also referenced in the fourth film.
