Line 175:
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: For a "Professor", Indy doesn't get around to ''teaching'' all that much. Lampshaded in ''Crystal Skull''.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: Indiana was the name of George Lucas' dog, who was also the inspiration for [[Star Wars|Chewbacca]]. The third film reveals that Henry Jones Jr. chose his nickname after his own dog.
* [[Rebellious Prisoner]]: Indiana and the friends that he makes along the way:
** Indy himself does not comply with his captors, or make it easy for them. He'll snark and resist, and improvise means to escape. The only way to get him to cave is if one of his loved ones is threatened, like Marion.
** Marion is not a fun prisoner. She'll always think of how to escape, like outdrinking a captor that lets her change into a beautiful dress, or knowing when to steal a gun. This didn't change when she {{spoiler|had Mutt a short while after Indy left her at the wedding aisle; while being threatened with death, she was more worried about the fact that Mutt came to rescue her and got captured in turn}}.
** Henry Jones, Sr., endured captivity at the Nazis' hands for months for his knowledge on the Holy Grail. He refused to cough up any information, and was willing to hit any guards with a vase, as long as it's not Ming. Later, he makes great use of a fountain pen to blind a soldier maneuvering a tank; "The pen is mightier than the sword," indeed.
** Mutt has this reaction when Irina Spalko threatens him at swordpoint to get Indiana to cooperate. He takes time to comb his hair, showing that it's not a weapon, and looks her straight in the eye while telling Indiana to not "Give these pigs anything".
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: From ''The Raiders'', Indy who suffers a serious snakes pohbia must face thousands of poison snakes who inhabited the Well of Souls.
** Hilariously done in the ''Crystal Skull'', where Indy is forced to hang on to a <s>snake</s> "rope" to get out of a quicksand pit.
