135 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
- Begins with a shot of a rock in Utah which is reminiscent of the Paramount
Pictures logo. See also ("Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" (qv), and
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)" (qv))
- Director 'Stephen Spielberg' (qv) included the opening scenes as a tribute
to his own experiences as a Boy Scout.
- When describing how he prepared for playing the role of young Indiana Jones,
'River Phoenix' (qv) explained that he didn't really base his portrayal on
the Indiana Jones character. Instead, he decided to do his rendition of
actor 'Harrison Ford' (qv). So he observed Ford out of character before
acting his part.
- Shows origin of Jones' fear of snakes in
"Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" (qv).
- 'Harrison Ford' (qv) cut his chin in a car accident in Northern California
when he was about 20. In the movie, this cut is explained by young Indiana
Jones cutting his chin with a whip. See also: "Working Girl (1988)" (qv).
- When making "Star Wars (1977)" (qv), 'George Lucas' (qv) owned a dog named
``Indiana''.
- The dog barking when young Indy passes with the cross in his hand is an
Alaskan Malamute, the same type of dog the Lucas's owned in the late 1970s.
- Walter Donovan was played by 'Julian Glover' (qv), and Donovan's wife was
played by Glover's wife.
- Unable to keep his hat on during the scene where he was chasing the tank
on horseback despite trying glue, tape, and newspaper wedges,
'Harrison Ford' (qv) stapled the hat to his head.
