Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Harrison Ford convinced David Koepp to include more jokes about Indy's age in the script, believing they would help reduce the "American paranoia about aging." He also refused to dye his hair for the role, arguing Indy's appeal wasn't in his youth but in his imagination and resourcefulness: "My ambition in action is to have the audience look straight in my face and not the back of a stuntman's head. I hope to continue that no matter how old I get." more
Goofs:
Miscellaneous: During the sequence showing Mutt and Indy flying to Peru, one shot of a Pan Am aircraft is shown reversed (the decals and registration on the aircraft are mirror image). more
Quotes:
Mutt Williams: Is that a spaceship?
Professor 'Ox' Oxley: A portal, to another dimension.
Indiana Jones: Don't think we want to go that way...

Not that it matters but ...why?, 31 May 2008
5/10
Author: Danielle De Colombie from Paris, France

The film is making zillions all over the world so what does it matter that it's just a mediocre attempt to recapture the energy, the youthfulness and the innocence of the previous installments? Love of cinema, that's what made me react the way I did. How can it possibly be that the most powerful people in the film world could agree that this was the script that everyone was waiting for? Shallow, opportunistic, over long, over crowded and implausible in a way the other films weren't regardless of their own implausibilities because one was connected tho the soul of the enterprise. There is no soul here to cling to. It's all by the numbers, odd numbers at that. Karen Allen returns! But look at the clumsiness of her re introduction. I was bitterly disappointed but maybe it's just me.
