Line 33:
* [[Bombproof Appliance]]: A lead-lined fridge is used to survive a nuclear bomb blast.
* [[Bond Creatures]]: The alien tries this with Spalko after she wishes to absorb their information. {{spoiler|The alien realizes she'll use the information for evil purposes, and proceeds to burn her mind}}.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: In the Russian dub, all mentions of "Russians" and "Russia" were replaced with "Communists" and "USSR". However, Russian names and backgrounds of the villains were kept intact, thereby (inadvertently) making the film more accurate - Soviet intelligence personnel (whom are the only ones portrayed in the film) came from [[Soviet Russia, Ukraine, and So On|multiple republics]], not just Russia, even in this time period, like L. Beria, who as interior minister ''before'' the film's setting. They would certainly be party members or Soviet citizens.
* [[The Brute]]: Dovchenko.
* [[Bus Crash]]: It's stated that {{spoiler|Henry Jones Sr.}} passed away sometime between ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' and ''Crystal Skull''. This is because {{spoiler|[[Sean Connery]]}} was offered a cameo role, but didn't want to come out of retirement. The same scene reveals Marcus Brody died shortly afterward, because Denholm Elliot had died shortly after making the third film.
Line 70:
* [[Dramatic Alien VTOL]]: The pyramid doubles as an alien ship.
* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: How the Russians arrive at the base checkpoint.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: After two sequels and an offscreen failed relationship, Indy and Marion are finally married at the end.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: If the book is to be believed, the Aliens.
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Lest anyone thought Indy lost his edge since ''Last Crusade'', we're immediately proven wrong:
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Giant Mook]]: Igor Jijikine as the big Russian colonel, Dovchenko.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: The massacre of the American soldiers at the beginning of the film by the Russians is only seen in a distant shot after most of them have been downed.
* [[The Greatest Story Never Told]]:
** Between this movie and ''Last Crusade'', Indy was a soldier in [[World War II]], retiring at the rank of Colonel and decorated numerous times. While some of his exploits during the war are addressed in novels and video games (including ''[[Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead]]'') most of it remains unwritten.
** Subverted, however, with how Indy was conscripted into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa Pancho Villa's] army. This was elaborated on further in the pilot of ''[[Young Indiana Jones]]'' and detailed in full in a novel.
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: {{spoiler|Mac}}, who switches sides and motives constantly throughout the film. {{spoiler|He's apparently helping the Russians because he's "a capitalist", yet he's also a double mole for the CIA}}. Lampshaded as a [[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent]].
* [[Hijacked by Jesus]]: Averted:
Line 151 ⟶ 155:
* [[Smoldering Shoes]]
* [[Smug Snake]]: {{spoiler|Mac}}.
* [[Special Effects
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Jim Broadbent's character stands in for Marcus Brody.
* [[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.
Line 165 ⟶ 169:
{{reflist}}
