After Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom, Indy came back for The Last Crusade, the third and final movie in the series. They never made another one. It just wouldn’t make sense to do that.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade definitely raises some questions, like how crazy is it that Indy got all his iconic items in like a 15 minute period on the same day? Why didn’t Henry warn Indy about his nazi girlfriend? What’s up with all the bad decisions made during chase scenes?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The irony is that even though Elsa's "it would not be made of gold" line is supposed to be meaningful, it's like... ummm, guys... ONE OF THESE CUPS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS. 😂🤣😂 I mean, there should have been all sorts of plain ones as well. Glass... iron... hardened leather... wax... whatever. But when ONE cup is fruggin' plain as F and everything else looks like something only Skeletor would accept to drink from, yah, the answer is obvious. 😁

That dude's white suit was iconic (and equally ridiculous) on a boat upon the high seas. 😂 Also, I love how they simply cut away from how Jones escapes. Yes, we all saw the convenient orange life donut, but... ummm... so where were they? A few miles from shore? Twenty? Six-hundred? And Jones is gonna PADDLE into the night or somethin'? 🤣

[@t.travelerjg1908]

Writer Guy's excitement for casting Sean Connery was wholesome.

[@GuranPurin]

"Wouldn't that also light him on fire if he's covered in it?" "HEYSHUTUP, so they find this old shield..."

I was equally baffled so I went looking for answers and though I agree that it's amazing & one of the best parts in the entire TRILOGY, I can't help but feel a little cheated out of some delicious member berries... Also, skipped boat chase & Zeppelin/plane getaway. Still, love that Ryan is doing more retroactive pitch meetings since nobody really sees the same movies anymore.

[@TheGary108]

That disturbed look the ProducerGuy has when PitchGuy talks about both Henry and Indiana hooking up with the same woman is exactly how most people felt when they had that realization.

Choosing a grail must be hard." "Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience." "Why are growing old so fast?"

[@1xeshm]

Fun fact: in the original XII century story the Grail was a plate or a bowl, it is only later that it became a cup.

[@Befuddled_Ostrich]

If I had a nickel for every time a character originated by Harrison Ford got all of their iconic items/ personality traits/ quirks in a surprisingly short time period, while being played by a different actor, then basically staying unchanged for years, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

[@Daemonik]

A castle more flammable than a Star Wars castle.

[@Rushfelt33]

At least there were tapestries in Indiana Jones 😅

[@SpartanM1988]

[@Jonathan_Collins]

A couple of fun facts regarding the film. 1. Originally they were going to have Gregory Peck play Henry Jones Sr. I don't remember the reason they decided to not go with him, but just did. 2. The opening sequence was going to be Indy fighting a ghost in Scotland, but Spielberg didn't want to do Ghosts again after Poltergeist.

[@Vincent_Beers]

They actually wrote it with Sean Connery in mind. But Connery stated he was taking a break from acting after his last bond film and wasn't clear how long that would be. Spielberg started looking for other actors during preproduction and Gregory peck was on the short list for consideration. Turns out Connery only took a couple years off and agreed to do the Indiana Jones film. You'll notice there's a five year gap between Jones films, if they had started much sooner than Connery might not have been available.

[@LlamaBobby]

“So then they escape” “How?” “They swim through the petrol” “Wouldn’t that be terrible on their eyes?” “Hey so shut up again…”
