Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Difference between revisions

* [[Above the Ruins]]: The above Akator ending.

* [[Action Duo]]: Indy and Mutt Williams.

** [[Harrison Ford]] apparently became [[Genre Savvy]] about [[A New Hope|whether somebody escaped or was merely let go]]. He also says, "[[Star Wars|I've got a bad feeling about this]]."

** This isn't the first time [[John Hurt]] has been [[Alien (franchise)|messed up by aliens]].

* [[Advanced Ancient Acropolis]]: Akator.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Irina Spalko.

* [[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.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: [[The Baroness|Irina]] [[Evil Is Sexy|Spalko]]

* [[My Skull Runneth Over]]: The climax.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: What Indiana did as an OSS intelligence officer [[During the War]] implies the existence of a full noodle warehouse. Many medal-worthy actions are alluded to and a Berlin cover mission is invoked by Mac. Plus his involvement in the [[Roswell Incident]].

* [[Oh Crap]]: The whole group of heroes when the truck they're driving goes over a waterfall. Then it happens ''again'' as they realize it's not just one, but '''three''' sequential waterfalls.

{{quote|'''Mutt:''' (''incredulously'') You're a teacher?

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

** "[[Cate Blanchett|You vill]]. [[Large Ham|Help us]]. [[Fake Russian|Find it]]."

* [[Quicksand Sucks]]: Indy and Marion get caught in it, although Indy explains that it's actually "dry sand". It's also when {{spoiler|Marion tells Indy Mutt is his son}}. [[Truth in Television]] though as very dry fine sand is actually very fluid. It's only when wet or rough that sand will stick.

* [[Sequel Gap]]: Both in-universe and in real life, 19 years have passed between the movies.

* [[Shaped Like Itself]] "Their treasure was knowledge. Knowledge was their treasure."

** [[Word of God]] says Professor Harold Oxley was modeled after Ben Gunn from ''[[Treasure Island]]''.

** Mutt's [[Badass Biker]] image is lifted from [[Marlon Brando]] in the ''[[The Wild One]]''

* [[Under the Truck]]: The motorcycle goes under a few library desks.

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Indy gets involved in a motorcycle chase that crashes into the library of the school he works at. One student only notices this in the context of "hey, there's the professor, let's ask him about that question on the homework".

* [[Wilhelm Scream]]: By a student with glasses when Indy and Mutt crash through the library on a motorcycle.
