That ancient temple is real. It was filmed in Petra in the country of Jordan. It was actually carved by hand into the canyon wall.

And for his whole life, Indy saw his dad choosing the grail research over him, but at the end his dad chose saving him over saving the grail, and I always thought that was a powerful moment for Indy. Also, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford is a match made in cinematic heaven.

"Nazis. I hate these guys." Fun Fact: Sir Sean Connery and Harrison Ford wore no trousers during the shooting of the entire Zeppelin sequence. It was a hot set. Clean Rats Fact: 2,000 rats were bred for the production. Breeding them specially was necessary, as ordinary rats would have been riddled with disease. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Harrison Ford cut his chin in a car accident in southern California when he was about twenty years old. In the movie, this cut is explained by young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) cutting his chin with a whip. Authentic Costume Fact: Most of the uniforms worn by the Nazis in the Berlin book-burning scene are authentic World War II uniforms, not replicas. A cache of old uniforms was found in Germany and obtained by costume designer Anthony Powell to be used in this movie. Young Indiana Jones Fact: Harrison Ford nominated River Phoenix to play him as a teenager, having worked with him before on The Mosquito Coast (1986). When describing how he prepared for playing the role, Phoenix explained that he didn't really base his portrayal on the Indiana Jones character, but on Harrison Ford. So he observed Ford out of character before acting his part.

The temple in the end bit is Petra in Jordon. Been there and walked down the valley leading to it. Fascinating place. Apparently that line 'She talks in her sleep' was a Sean Connery ad-lib that they kept in!

Connery and Ford are only about 12 years apart but you sure can't tell by looking.

31:13, Elsa couldn't let it go.

This is my favorite of the Trilogy and nobody can tell me otherwise.

I want to say first off that I hope your foot heals up quickly. That’s gotta suck. 😣 That said, this is also my favorite Indiana Jones movie. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are fantastic together. And I’ll never forget the “No ticket” scene. Laughed so hard the first time I saw that. 😁

the TV series "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" shows Indy at a few different ages on adventures. Some canon to the 4th and 5th movies. BTW real location

For me, it was a huge missed opportunity not to play into Indy drinking from the Grail in the future films. Technically that would affect his lifespan. From what the knight said, because he left the cave, he wouldn’t be immortal, but he should have been affected somewhat just by drinking from the cup. That could have played into some interesting storytelling, but judging from the last 2 movies, they weren’t interested in that.

Honestly The best ending to any trilogy

37:00 amen to that.

Dr. Jones, Sr..."she talks in her sleep." How does he know that? 😉😏😂😂😂 The insinuation being she slept with them both. LoL

You should react to the young Indiana Jones chronicles

Lol

lots of things changed movies. CGI, Political Correctness, wokeness, writing tropes , too much unscripted riffing, Nostalgia, Me too movement, BLM, Writers Strikes, AI, Animal and child rights , Angary parents, the internet, streaming, more or less censorship, LGBT rights, drones, cell phones, Shakey cam, HD , 3D, COVID, these can be good things or bad but they changed movies.
