Line 24:
* [[Advanced Ancient Acropolis]]: Akator.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Irina Spalko.
* [[Amphibious Automobile]]: The so-called "Ducks" are actually scaled-up replicas of the Ford GPA/Soviet GAZ 46 constructed on modern jeep chassis. Replicas had to be used as the WWII originals are actually quite small compared to modern jeeps — small enough that a person standing on top of one could easily flip it over, making them too small for the fencing scenes. The misidentification as "ducks" makes perfect sense story wise as most people (including Dr. Jones, apparently) are not military vehicle historians.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: The titular "kingdom" of aliens are referenced as such, although it is never elaborated upon.
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Indy dismisses [[Artifact of Death|the Crystal Skull]] as "just a story". Like the Holy Grail and [[Artifact of Death|the Ark of the Covenant]], right? His skeptical attitude toward the Ark is also bit odd considering that he'd already been exposed to genuine supernatural phenomena in ''Temple of Doom'', but that's more of a continuity issue.
Line 106:
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]] / [[Grave Robbing]]: Subverted, Indiana is about to keep an ancient knife but a severe [[Facial Diaolgue|look]] by Mutt makes him put it back.
* [[Last Words]] / [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: Parodied hard.

'''Indy''': I like Ike.
'''Dovchenko''': Put down gun.}}
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: In the film, Marion's [[The Reveal|reveal]] a third of the way through is meant to take Jones (and the audience) by surprise. Of course, that didn't stop Paramount from including the character on the official poster for the film and heavily publicizing Karen Allen's involvement with the project.
Line 155:
* [[Take My Hand]]: Subverted. Indy tries this with his whip to save {{spoiler|Mac}} during the final escape sequence, but {{spoiler|Mac}} tells him he'll be alright and lets go, getting sucked into the portal in the process.
* [[That Russian Squat Dance]]: Done by Russian soldiers around a campfire.
* [[Took a Level
** She was pretty badass in ''Raiders'', though. She shot that guy in her bar, and she took out a whole truck full of soldiers with an aircraft mounted machine gun.
* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: {{spoiler|Oxley and Irina. The latter's brain painfully overloads from the aliens granting her wish - knowledge of everything.}}
