'''Indiana Jones:''' Part time. }}

** In ''The Last Crusade'' Indiana teaches that seventy percent of all archaeology is done in the library. By 1957 his thinking has evolved and it's more in touch with his actions; he remarks that a good archeologist is the one who gets out of the library and does field work.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: When Indy is playing chicken in the warehouse [[Car Chase]].

* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Irina Spalko.

* [[Death by Materialism]]: {{spoiler|Mac}}, whose need to get as much gold and jewelery as possible during the temple collapse leads to him being unable to run as quickly when the ground starts collapsing.

* [[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:

'''Indy:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|I'm sorry, I meant "Drop dead,]] ''[[Sarcasm Mode|comrade]]''." }}

* [[Fake Russian]]: Plenty of it.

* [[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:

'''Indy:''' That depends on who your god is. }}

* [[How Unscientific]]: Inverted, as the first three films feature magical artifacts, and then ''Crystal Skull'' features {{spoiler|interdimensional beings}}, suddenly becoming "How [[Science Fiction|Scientific]]!"

* [[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.<br />

'''Dovchenko''': Put down gun. }}

* [[Passing the Torch]]: [[Subverted Trope]]. At the end of the film, a gust of wind blows Indy's hat to Mutt's feet, the idea being that Indy is going to retire from archaeology and Mutt is gonna take his place. But as Mutt is about to put the hat on, Indy scoops it out of his hands and puts it on; Indy's never gonna quit looking for treasures.

* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Lampshaded:

'''Indy:''' Part-time. }}

* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]:
