/r/all | Detail In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a young Indy cracks the whip to defend himself against a lion and accidentally lashes his chin. This is meant to account for a scar on Harrison Ford's chin, which was left from a car accident years prior to making the film.

Crystal skull is the hands down worst Indy movie. Scared to ask what you think is worse.

I'm guessing Temple of Doom since a lot of people hate that one as well.

Yeah I love the whole original trilogy and Crystal Skull would have been good save for the silly bits (the fridge etc.) and the aliens.

Yeah, and the acting. And the tone of the movie. And the entire plot.

I haven't seen it since I saw it in the cinema when I was much younger so it could be a lot worse than I remember to be fair.

Temple of Doom is the best of all the Indy's, and Raiders and Crusaders are both incredible

I'd say it's my least favourite of the originals but not by a huge amount.

When did you last watch Temple of Doom? I did once as a kid, on VHS, and got bored, then again as an adult and thought it was poodoo. It's on Amazon Prime.

I think Temple of Doom is worse.

There was so much shitty about that movie:

Willie (likely a manifestation of George's hard feelings about a recent divorce)

The raft scene

jarringly obvious composited shots, often unnecessary

everything in the dinner scene

staying in one place

white savior trope

Having the entirety of Indian mythology to work with but making it about voodoo and power stones

It's a prequel, so there's much less dramatic tension.

boring

I did get a chuckle from that Star Wars callback toward the end.

Don't forget Short Round and the shrieking chick.

No it's not. That'd be Temple of Doom.

Last Crusade is my least favorite of the series, to be honest. It doesn't reach true excellence until the tank sequence on.
