Line 70:
* [[Dramatic Alien VTOL]]: The pyramid doubles as an alien ship.
* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: How the Russians arrive at the base checkpoint.

* [[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.

* [[Hijacked by Jesus]]: Averted:
