At least that's what director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas said at the time this film hit theaters.

But now they've said there will be a fourth "Indiana Jones" film. I really don't know if that's a good idea, because the "Last Crusade" was a fitting end to a great movie series. Harrison Ford returns for his third go around as swashbuckling hero Indiana Jones, this time accompanied by Sean Connery as Indy's father, Dr. Henry Jones. These two actors work beautifully together as they fight off the Nazis in search for the Holy Grail. Two actors from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" reprise their roles to great effect in "Last Crusade": Denholm Elliott as Marcus Brody and John Rhys-Davies as Sallah. Alison Doody is the heroine (good or bad?); Julian Glover is the villain; River Phoenix portrays a young Indy at the beginning to see how this character really got his start. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" not only has great characters, it also has a decent story (taking place in 1938), plus exciting action scenes and special effects. It's better than the second film "Temple of Doom" and comes very close to topping the first film "Raiders".

The "Indiana Jones" series should stay right where it is with the "Last Crusade" as the finale. Unless Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford can prove us wrong and make a really good fourth film in the series, we shall see. I loved all three movies in the "Indiana Jones" series. If the fourth film does gets made, I hope it'll be equally as good as the first three. **** (out of four) 33 of 37 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

( 2,244) Synopsis The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums in which they belong.

A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once again, however, Mr. Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector (Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in search of the famed cup — Indiana Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery) — who had recently disappeared during his efforts. The junior and senior members of the Jones family find themselves in a series of tough situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an undercover Nazi agent. The search for the grail is a dangerous quest, and its discovery may prove fatal to those who seek it for personal gain. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade earned a then record-breaking $50 million in its first week of release.

User reviews Michael McClellan August 9, 2015 Last Crusade is the best movie in the Indiana Jones franchise. Harrison Ford reprises his role as the beloved Indiana Jones, along with other returning actors such as his good friend Sallah played by John Rhys-Davies, and the lovable yet daft museum director Marcus Brody played by Denholm Elliott in an action packed adventure to find the cup of Jesus Christ. Sean Connery joins Indy on this quest playing Henry Jones, Indy's father, a wise mentor who aids his son to stop the Nazi's from discovering and taking the Holy Grail from it's resting place by piecing together the clues from ancient christian relics. With its wonderful visuals, thought provoking christian messages, and breathtaking score, this movie is truly one for the ages. All of the characters are wonderfully scripted and the entire story feels alive with humor and lots of action.The Last Crusade truly is my favorite Indiana Jones movie and one of my favorites of all time just for its wonderful story, remarkable characters, and heartwarming christian references and themes. Full Review Paul Agev July 26, 2014 The last Jones...

When Spielberg decided to do that horrible Crystal skulls film I decided to revisit the past entries in the series and concluded ultimately that it really should've ended with this one. The gap between this and the follow-up was just too great. With that said.. This one is highly recommended.. The humor, the over the top action still hold up over the current overly cgi rehashes that plague the movies now. Sean Connery steals this one as Indy's dad... Plus as a bonus we get to see Joaquin Phoenix rip. Full Review Fox M. June 7, 2015 In The Pursuit of Fortune and Glory. There is no action cinema icon more mercurial or screen worthy than Last Crusade's Indiana Jones. Spielberg, Ford and Connery team-up to create a sequel that not only stays true to the series' conceits, weaves fresh comedy while raising the bar for action set-pieces but also ties up the themes of pride as masculinity, fathers and sons, greed versus integrity and a life spent in the pursuit of fortune and glory. Full Review Bernhert 2257 August 18, 2015 This movie was so much better than the second movie!

What's really great was to watch a father and son bonding between the two Jones, at least the dad was not as much annoying compared to Willie and Short Round. Harrison Ford always does the marvelous role as 'Indiana Jones' and along Sean Connery who played as 007 is also Jones' father 'Dr. Henry Jones Sr.' Gotta say, the second best film after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Full Review Ryan Cox March 12, 2016 The best. The final installment in the original trilogy of Indiana Jones films, is the best in my opinion. I loved all three of them through and through but there was just something about this one. The opening 11 minutes has one of the best back stories ever, Sean Connery as Indy's dad was great and the two made one of the if not the best cinematic pair ever, the movie also contained multiple great action scenes, including the tank part and the motorcycle scene. Filmmaking done right. Full Review Ender Skywalker November 5, 2015 Overrated It's most people's favourite, but it's my least favorite. That said, it's Indiana Jones, so of course it's worth your time.

Full Review Josh Impinto January 5, 2015 Disappointing. The Last Crusade was a major disappointment. The only highlight of the movie was Sir Sean Connery & Harrison Ford as Father/Son. John Stoll June 11, 2014 Good attempt on ark God isn't like that; but good to bring up topic. Full Review Stefanie Jacinto Deo December 20, 2014 The best of the Indiana Jones movies, period.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade | Indiana Jones Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 4,557pages on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Director(s) "The man with the hat is back.

And this time he's bringing his dad." ―Tagline[src] Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the third film in the Indiana Jones series. Released in 1989 , it was directed by Steven Spielberg . Although it was the third motion picture released, the movie is chapter twenty-five in The Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones . Set two years after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark , the story follows archaeologist Indiana Jones as he discovers his estranged father has gone missing while seeking out clues leading to the Holy Grail . Guided in his search by his father's diary, Jones learns that the Nazis are also interested in the Biblical cup, and must overcome them to be reunited with his parent. The movie was released on VHS in 1999 , and twice on DVD in 2003 and 2008 respectively. The 2003 DVD was part of The Adventures of Indiana Jones box set containing the first three Indiana Jones films, while the 2008 release was promoted as a Special Edition of the film, as part of Indiana Jones – The Adventure Collection (first three films), then individually and as part of Indiana Jones - The Complete Adventure Collection (all four films).

[1] The film received a high-definition home video release in 2012 as part of Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures . Contents Edit Young Indy The film starts in 1912 with Indy ( River Phoenix ) as a Boy Scout in a failed attempt to retrieve the Cross of Coronado from treasure hunters . After stealing the Cross from Fedora and escaping across the countryside on horseback and circus train , Indy returns home, only to have the local sheriff reclaim the Cross for Fedora and his client, Panama Hat . The small adventure inspires his whip , fear of snakes , fedora (and style of dress), and even the scar on his chin. Portuguese Coast, 1938 Edit Jones aboard the Vasquez de Coronado. The story then advances to 1938 , two years after the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark , with Indy ( Harrison Ford ) now a grown man. He successfully retrieves the Cross from Panama Hat (leaving Panama Hat to die on the boat explosion in the process) and after returning to Barnett College , donates it to Marcus Brody 's ( Denholm Elliott ) museum. Venice, Italy Edit Walter Donovan ( Julian Glover ) informs Indy that his father, Henry Jones, Sr.

( Sean Connery ), has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail , which Donovan believes has the power to grant eternal life. Indy is shown half of an ancient tablet, a marker leading to the Grail, and told that the other one is buried with the knight 's dead brother. Indy and Marcus travel to Venice to meet Dr. Elsa Schneider ( Alison Doody ) to follow the footsteps of his father. Below the library where his father was last seen, Indy discovers the tomb of a knight of the "First Crusade" which holds the second marker with information needed to begin the quest for the Grail. Indy encounters the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword , a secret and fanatical religious cult determined to protect the Grail at all costs. Their leader, Kazim ( Kevork Malikyan ), tells him that his father is being held in Brunwald Castle near the Austrian-German border. German border Edit At Castle Brunwald on the German - Austrian border, Jones discovers that the castle is actually a Nazi command center. Jones rescues his father from captivity but both are captured by Vogel , a Nazi colonel, when betrayed by Schneider. They are taken to Donovan, who is also working for the Nazis.

His father had been kidnapped in Venice when he realized Schneider's true allegiances. Schneider ties up the Joneses and mockingly kisses Indiana, while Vogel punches him in the head as a farewell. Left alone in the castle, Indy and his father start a fire and escape on motorcycle, crossing into Germany. Indy and his father trapped at Castle Brunwald. The two head for Berlin in order to retrieve his father's Grail diary , taken there by Schneider to show their mission's progress to the Fuhrer . In Berlin, Jones recovers the diary by grabbing and cornering Elsa and then forcing her to give the diary back to him. As the two try to exit the city, a disguised Jones narrowly escapes at one point as he comes face to face with Hitler. Meanwhile, the Nazis capture Brody in Iskenderun and obtain the map that Brody had taken from the Grail diary. Indiana Jones and his father board a zeppelin for Athens , to get out of Germany, but Colonel Vogel has tracked them down and searches the zeppelin for them. Disguised as a ticket taker, Jones punches out the colonel and tosses him off the airship.

During their flight, Henry reveals that the diary has information about three booby traps in the temple that the Grail is kept in, and he and Indy slowly begin to reconcile their differences. However, the zeppelin turns back toward Germany, and the pair escape in a biplane moored to the airship. A pair of Nazi fighters chase their slower biplane. Henry tries to shoot them down, but shoots up their own plane instead, forcing them to crash-land. Stealing a car , the Joneses managed to destroy the pursuing planes, and travel to re-unite with Sallah. Hatay Edit Arriving in Iskenderun , Hatay , the Nazi party attempt to negotiate a treaty with the Sultan by offering him a treasure chest in exchange for safe unopposed passage through his territory. The Sultan declines the treasure chest incentive in favor of one of the Nazi party's escort vehicles, a Rolls-Royce Phantom II (which ironically and comically has less commercial value than the treasure chest), of which he is technically familiar with and very fond of. The Nazi party agrees to the trade and they are granted passage as well as additional camels, horses, armed escorts, provisions, desert terrain vehicles, and tanks.

Then using the captured map, the Nazi team, led by Donovan, Schneider, and Vogel, with a captive Brody, begin the Grail quest in Hatay . As they head out in search of the Canyon of the Crescent Moon , they are ambushed by Kazim and the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword. Using the battle as a distraction, Indiana Jones and Sallah try to steal some horses from the Nazi caravan, while Henry attempts to rescue Brody, who has been imprisoned in a tank . Henry ends up getting captured by the Nazis, who successfully defeat the Brotherhood's men, with a dying Kazim delivering a fateful warning to Donovan and Schneider. Indy fighting a Nazi aboard the Hatay tank. Indiana attempts to rescue his father and Brody from the tank, managing to leap from his horse onto the side of the tank. Brody and the elder Jones cause disruptions inside the tank, and eventually Indy ends up in a duel with Vogel on top of the tank. Henry Jones and Brody manage to get off the tank, which then falls off of a cliff with Jones and Vogel aboard.

With his father, Brody, and Sallah peering over the cliff, believing that Indiana had perished alongside Vogel, Indiana climbs onto the cliff edge, having jumped from the tank before it fell. The four reach the Canyon of the Crescent Moon where the secret temple that houses the Grail is located. Inside the temple, they spy on Donovan's party attempting to enter the Grail chamber, but being stopped by its defensive traps. The four are captured and Donovan shoots Henry, forcing Indiana to face a set of challenges and retrieve the Grail to save his father's life with its healing powers. Indy, guided by his recollection of his father's diary, surpasses the three challenges, and enters a room with Holy Grail hidden amongst many false grails and an ancient knight guarding the Grail. With the traps disabled, Donovan and Schneider follow Jones into the Grail chamber. Donovan allows Schneider to choose out the Grail for him, and she selects a golden, bejeweled grail which Donovan drinks from. The grail turned out to be a false one and Donovan ages rapidly, and dies trying to grab Schneider. Jones heals his father's wounds with the Grail.

With death on the line, Indiana Jones picks the true Grail, a plain carpenter's cup, and takes a sip. The knight affirms Jones' selection but warns him not to let the Grail go "past the Great Seal " in the temple entrance, as it is the boundary of immortality. Jones takes the Grail with the holy water and heals his mortally-wounded father. This action frightens the Hatay soldiers and Sallah is able to disarm them and the remaining Nazis. Schneider picks up the unattended Grail and tries to leave with it, crossing the Great Seal. The temple begins to quake, and the ground opens up. The Grail falls into a crevasse and Schneider dives after it. Jones grabs her and tries to pull her up, but as she tries to reach for the grail, she falls into the abyss. After another large tremor, Jones falls into the crack, within reach of the Grail, unaware he is about to fall in, but his father, now holding onto him, simply says "Indiana, Indiana...let it go".

Realizing that his father does care more about him than the Grail, Jones turns and lets his father pull him to safety and the four archaeologists escape from the crumbling temple, leaving behind the Grail knight. The adventure ends with Henry revealing that "Indiana" was the family dog 's name; Indy, his father, Sallah, and Marcus ride out of the canyon and off into the sunset. Appearances Edit This installment in the Indiana Jones series has more humor than the previous two films. The humor is mainly shown through the relationship between Indiana and his father. Also Marcus Brody is a less serious character than his previous appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark , being described as a museum curator who "once got lost in his own museum". The light-heartedness of the movie especially contrasts to its predecessor Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , which is usually cited as the "darkest" in the trilogy. Despite being regarded as some to be derivative of the original film, it is often regarded as the second best of the trilogy. The Last Crusade is estimated to have grossed over US$197 million in the United States and $277 million elsewhere.

These sales figures put the film second to Batman in the United States and first globally for 1989. Production Edit Indiana Jones artist Drew Struzan created the film's distinctive artwork. Also like the previous films in the series, the soundtrack was composed by John Williams . The opening sequence, with River Phoenix as the young Indiana Jones, was shot at the end of production. The rock formations during the opening credits belong to Arches National Park, outside of Moab, Utah . The circus train was shot on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which runs between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico. As with the previous two films, studio filming took place at Borehamwood Studios in Hertfordshire, England. Indiana Jones, Elsa and Brody arrive in Venice along the Rio San Barnaba and cross over the Ponte dei Pugni (bridge of fists), where Indiana offers Elsa a flower. The Church of San Barnaba in Campo San Barnaba served as the exterior for the fictional Venetian church-turned-library. The jetty where Indiana Jones and Elsa let Kazim go is in Venice at the Palazzi Barbaro .

Trivia Edit River Phoenix , who plays the younger version of Harrison Ford 's character, played Ford's character's son in The Mosquito Coast. Ford personally recommended Phoenix for the part, citing that of all the young actors working at the time, River Phoenix was the one who looked the most like himself when he was around that age. Ford had also offered advice to Phoenix on how to stay grounded in the high pressure world of Hollywood, and was reportedly grief-stricken when he heard of Phoenix's death four years later in 1993. When Indiana and Elsa are in the catacombs under the Venetian church-turned-library, Elsa points out a mural. Indiana says it is the Ark of the Covenant , to which Elsa asks "are you sure?" Indiana replies "pretty sure." Indiana would know this because the focus of Raiders of the Lost Ark was his search for the Ark. There is also a musical cue from Raiders playing during this exchange. In the Boy Scout Scene, Indiana Jones is a Life Scout. There are several claims as to why this is: 1) He was supposed to be an Eagle Scout, but the badges are not given out to anyone other than Eagle Scouts, so he had to be just one under.

(Critics of this theory note that a costume department with a big budget could have just had one made.) 2) Indiana Jones was a Life Scout in honor of Eagle Scout Steven Spielberg's father who had died recently and who earned the rank of Life Scout in his youth. 3) Indy, born in 1899, would have been 13 at the time, and Eagle was much more rigorous and much less seldom earned until older, until well into the 1940s. 4) When Harrison Ford was younger, he was a Boy Scout and had earned the rank of Life Scout Last Crusade Tank Stunt The stunt where Indy jumps from a horse down on to a tank — performed by legendary stunt man and coordinator, Vic Armstrong — was voted one of the 10 best stunts of all time by Sky Movies viewers in the UK in 2002. The interior of the Zeppelin sequence was filmed in the blistering heat of Spain. Neither Ford nor Connery wore pants during the conversation at the table to get longer takes before having to wipe the sweat from their faces.

(Connery's character is wearing a tweed suit and Ford's character had a leather jacket in that scene.) During the fight on the tank, soldiers inside the tank watch as Indiana is in a fistfight. One of the soldiers asserts "The Americans - they fight like girls" in German and then gets knocked out by the periscope. Connery's hair and beard, and Ford's sideburns lengthen during two scenes: after the motorcycle chase and after the tank goes off the cliff. These two additional scenes were filmed after principal photography had ended. Last Crusade was the first Indiana Jones movie to receive an MPAA rating higher than PG, the recently created PG-13. This was the certificate Spielberg himself was partly responsible for (see Ratings in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . Tom Stoppard performed uncredited rewrites on the dialogue for this film as a favor to George Lucas . Sean Connery, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Michael Byrne, and Julian Glover all appear in the James Bond series. Steven Spielberg once said he would have liked to do a James Bond film.

The map of Indy's trip to Venice and then on to the Brunwald Castle The march played by the Nazis in Berlin is called "Königgrätzer Marsch", a military march written by Johann Gottfried Piefke to commemorate Germany's victory over Austria in the battle of Königgrätz in 1866. It was a personal favorite of Adolf Hitler's and was played at many of his public appearances. Donovan's wife is played by Julian Glover's actual wife. Julian Glover told Empire magazine that Connery ad-libbed the line "She talks in her sleep". "They had to stop filming," he recalled. "Everybody just fell on the floor and Steven said, 'Well, that's in.'" In the movie the grail is located in the Republic of Hatay near the city of Alexandretta. There actually was a Republic of Hatay from 1938 to 1939, after the region was granted independence from French Syria and before it became a province of Turkey. The capital of Hatay was Alexandretta before 1939 when the city's name was changed to Iskenderun and the capital moved to Antioch.

Harrison Ford, Michael Sheard , and Julian Glover all appeared in George Lucas' Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. This film also features an uncredited cameo by Nick Gillard as the Periscope Soldier . Gillard later choreographed the lightsaber duels in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and appeared in Revenge of the Sith. During the scenes in the Republic of Hatay, most Nazis wear AfrikaKorps uniforms, and the emblem of the AfrikaKorps appears on a Nazi truck in Iskenderun. The DAK was never part of the Schutzstaffel and they would never participate any expedition to find religious artifacts. Also the DAK did not exist until 1941. The gray uniform worn by Colonel Vogel while he is in Hatay reflects nothing like the real Wehrmacht colonel nor the Standartenführer. However, his rank patches were real Standartenführer's insignia of 1938. When Donovan presents the payment to the ruler of Hatay, his phrasing (especially the pause before "donated") suggests that the money is, in fact, gold stolen by the Nazis from the Jews.

Though the concentration camps were not yet started by the time Last Crusade takes place, the Nuremberg Lawes were in effect and they would have seized much Jewish gold. (It is also possible his hesitation stems from him noticing that the Sultan isn't actually paying attention to him but instead wandering over to the Rolls-Royce.) When Indy "escapes" from his students at Barnett College, he is surrounded by (for those who saw Raiders,) a group that would appear to be Nazi agents, one of which wears his coat in a similar fashion to Arnold Toht. Those who guessed it was Toht would be inaccurate, as he died in 1936. We shortly find out after that it was a gag and the group was just an escort. The car that is given to the Sultan of Hatay is not, in fact, a Rolls-Royce Phantom II, but instead a Rolls-Royce 20/25. It seems odd that the Nazis would have a British staff car (the novelization calls it a Daimler-Benz, at any rate).

Merchandise Edit Last Crusade DVD cover Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was released on laserdisc and VHS in 1990 and on DVD in October 2003 and again in 2008. The 1990 home video release actually came in seven formats: VHS, Beta, 8 mm and Spanish-subtitled VHS, Laserdiscs in both pan-scan and letterbox formats; and letterboxed Super-VHS [2] . The VHS release in 1999 (as part of The Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones ) and the DVD release was packaged with the previous two theatrical films in the series: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Raiders of the Lost Ark. A second release of the DVD in 2008 allowed the film to be purchased individually, as well as in a four-movie box set. Toy Line Edit There was no toy line originally released for Last Crusade when it hit theaters in 1989. However, leading in to the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , toys based on Last Crusade were released by Hasbro and LEGO in 2008 and 2009.

Video games Sean Connery .... Professor Henry Jones Denholm Elliott .... Dr. Marcus Brody Alison Doody .... Dr. Elsa Schneider John Rhys-Davies .... Sallah Julian Glover .... Walter Donovan For this third installment Spielberg, Lucas, and writer Jeffrey Boam decided to punch up the comedy and flesh out the backstory to avoid the danger of serial flameout. An extended prologue tracks young Indiana Jones (played by River Phoenix) through an adventure in which he picks up his trademark fedora, bullwhip, and fear of snakes. But what really sparked the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade story was the casting of none other than James Bond himself in the role of Jones' father. With a budget of $36 million, the globe-trotting crew started shooting in Spain, London, West Germany, Jordan, Venice, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah over the course of six months. And their greatest technical challenges was to re-create virtually every form of transportation available in 1938, including trains, planes, boats, tanks, and a zeppelin. Their most impressive challenge is the sequence in which Indy pursues a Nazi tank on horseback.

That ten-minute scene, much of which was improvised, took two full weeks to film! The work, once again, produced a major payoff. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade opened on May 24, 1989 and became the first film in history to gross $50 million in a single week, besting the pervious record of nearly $46 million set by it's own Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. By the time the cash registers quieted, the film had pulled in $197 million in domestic grosses alone. The Indiana Jones series were originally planned as a trilogy, and The Last Crusade's final shot of Indy and his father riding into the sunset had "The End" written all over it. But some rumors claim that Spielberg and Lucas are working on a fourth and final installment.

Movie Review - - Review/Film; Indiana Jones in Pursuit of Dad and the Grail - NYTimes.com Review/Film; Indiana Jones in Pursuit of Dad and the Grail By CARYN JAMES Published: May 24, 1989 LEAD: Before Indiana Jones can team up with his father to elude the Nazis and race them to the Holy Grail, he must travel halfway around the world. He leaves the cozy American campus where he teaches archeology, guides a beautiful woman through a rat-infested tunnel in Venice and makes his way to a castle swarming with Nazis on the Austrian-German border. Before Indiana Jones can team up with his father to elude the Nazis and race them to the Holy Grail, he must travel halfway around the world. He leaves the cozy American campus where he teaches archeology, guides a beautiful woman through a rat-infested tunnel in Venice and makes his way to a castle swarming with Nazis on the Austrian-German border. There, Indiana swashbuckles his way into the room where Henry Jones is held prisoner and finds his tweedy, academic, mildly befuddled Dad.

''Junior?'' asks Sean Connery, and Harrison Ford answers, with years of exasperation behind him, ''Don't call me that, please.'' Steven Spielberg leads up to this meeting in ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' as if Mr. Connery himself were a great prize that must be earned by feats of daring. And no wonder, for the duet between father and son, and between two actors who always seem to have mischief in their eyes, is the brilliant twist on which the film will live or die. The very idea of Mr. Connery as Indiana's father already seems too delicious to be true. Beyond that, ''The Last Crusade'' aims to be a gigantic finale to the Indiana Jones trilogy. That's a lot of promise and hype to live up to. Though it cannot regain the brash originality of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark,'' in its own way ''The Last Crusade'' is nearly as good, matching its audience's wildest hopes. Like the two previous films, also directed by Mr. Spielberg, this is one long, boisterous adventure, full of storms at sea, exploding boats and breathless escapes. But Mr.

Connery's presence gives resonance to Indiana's life and a slightly slower pace and deeper shading to the film. This is the ultimate quest movie, each discovery leading to a new search - for the father, for the Grail, for faith. The film's quests-within-quests start with a search for Indiana's own past. River Phoenix plays Indiana as a Boy Scout in Utah in 1912, in a delightful sequence that shows how the movie's formula turns in on itself. By now, Indiana's quirks are so familiar that audiences can revel in the witty hints tossed out about the hero. Young Indiana sees scavengers stealing a sacred 16th-century relic, and determines to get it back, setting off on a series of adventures he hasn't quite mastered yet. He meets lions and rhinos and snakes, tries to jump from a cliff onto a horse, acquires his hat and whip and the tag line he uses in times of crisis, ''I'll think of something.'' The self-contained episode is a clue to how deftly Mr. Spielberg works in ''The Last Crusade,'' playing off our awareness of the Indiana Jones formula yet always playing it straight.

When the story leaps ahead to 1938, we discover that the medievalist Henry Jones has disappeared during a search for the Grail. Indiana rescues his father from the Nazis, who know Henry is about to find the Grail, and together they continue the search by zeppelin, plane and motorcycle. They waltz through a book-burning rally in Berlin, and wind up in a Middle Eastern desert where Indiana on horseback overtakes a German tank. Finally, they enter a magnificent temple carved into the face of a cliff. Throughout this relentless action, the film keeps sight of the contentious but charming relationship between Indiana and his father. If Mr. Connery had done a star-turn, playing Sean-Connery-as-the-father, the entire fantasy would have collapsed. Here he escapes into Henry, who may be as stuffy as Indiana is reckless, but who has passed on a great deal of stubborness to his son. They are a neat match, Indiana on a motorcycle and Henry in the sidecar, arguing at a crossroads about whether to turn right and save their old friend Marcus (Denholm Elliott) or turn left to go after the Grail. While they talk, the Nazis are racing up behind them.

And if it seems strange that Henry's briefcase and umbrella survive their plane's crash landing, that detail is at least true to the illogic of the adventure genre. The umbrella becomes an unlikely weapon, as Henry saves their lives in a fussy, endearing way that outsmarts and impresses his son. With all its emotional overtones, this is the Indiana Jones film that shows Mr. Spielberg's signature most plainly. He is, after all, the director who practically dared audiences not to cry at E. T's death scene. But here he undercuts emotion with humor. ''We never talked,'' Indiana says about his childhood, and Henry explains, ''You left just when you were becoming interesting.'' Mr. Ford's role is more diffuse than it was in ''Raiders'' or in the overactive, gruesome sequel, ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.'' He swerves among action, sentiment and cartoonish lines like, ''Nazis! I hate those guys!'' In Venice, he has a brief, James Bondish fling with his father's former assistant, just after he tells her: ''Leave me alone! I don't like fast women!'' But Mr.

Ford accommodates each shift, for this role fits him as perfectly as the fedora that gives him his 1930's heroic look. The ending in the temple is suffused with magical events that may well be miracles of faith. The most elaborate special effects are saved for this magisterial climax, which takes itself a touch too seriously, as the Earth opens and ancient secrets are revealed. Religious imagery dominates right down to the film's last glorious shot of four horsemen riding off into an apocalyptic sunset. Jeffrey Boam's screenplay for ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,'' which opens today at Loew's Astor Plaza and other theaters, cannot match the wit of Lawrence Kasdan's script for ''Raiders.'' Yet of the three Jones films, ''The Last Crusade'' may well become the sentimental favorite, the Indiana to end them all. ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' is rated PG-13 (''Special Parental Guidance Suggested for Those Younger Than 13''). In addition to the tunnel of rats, there is a relentless sequence of violent Nazi deaths.

Finding the Grail 005. Game Genie Codes 006. Credits 001-General Information ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a walkthrough for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. There are two such games; this guide is for the one made by Taito. You can e-mail me about this guide at ilovecartoonssomuch@yahoo.com, but make the subject blank if you do. If you want to use this guide for something, you should ask first. 002-Story ----------------------------------------------------------- When Indiana Jones was a kid, his father never paid attention to him. His dad was too busy working on trying to find the Holy Grail, which is the cup that Jesus drank from the night before he died. It supposedly has special powers, including healing people and allowing someone to live forever. Years later, Indiana Jones became an archeologist. He has had a lot of adventures, including finding the Arc of the Covenant (you can learn more about that by watching "Raiders of the Lost Arc", which has a disappointing ending). One thing to note: this takes place during the World War Two era. One more thing to note: Indiana Jones hates Nazis.

The Nazis, of course, want the Holy Grail just as much as Indiana's father does. 003-Characters ----------------------------------------------------------- Indiana Jones: The whip-carrying, Nazi-killing, lady-catching, suave hero of this game. Indiana Jones Senior: Indiana Jones' father, played by Sean Connery. (Indiana is played by Harrison Ford). Indiana's father calls him Junior instead of by his real name. He's also obsessed with finding the Holy Grail. Marcus: Indiana Jones' long time friend who has helped him throughout all of his adventures. Little does Indiana know that Marcus actually works for the Nazis (which isn't covered in this game). Dr. Schneider: A lady that Indiana meets in Venice. There may be some romance between the two of them, but she only has a cameo in the game and is therefore not that important. Sallah: I don't know who he is. Apparently he's a good guy. Knight: He protects the Grail from evil. 004-Walkthrough ----------------------------------------------------------- Indiana Jones, "Indy", is finally getting a moment to sit and relax after a hard day of being an archeologist. But strangely, he's gotten a letter from Venice.

It's his dad's grail diary! Indy's dad has been searching for the Holy Grail for his whole life. The diary contains all of the information that Indy's dad has on the Grail. Why is he sending it to Indy? Sounds like something fishy is going on... Indy also has a telegram from Marcus, his good friend. Marcus has located the Cross of Coronado on a ship. Indy's been searching for it his whole life... What should Indy do? Should he see what's up with his dad, or should he see what's up with the Cross of Coronado? If you pick one, you can pick the other later (and it'll be harder). I recommend going after the Grail first, as it's hard enough already, and having to do it while it's harder is a pain in the butt. 004a-Venice, Italy ----------------------------------------------------------- Boy, this is tough. You have to move the blank square around until you've solved the puzzle. You have to do it fast, because time is running out.

Here's where you should move the black square: 4 left, 1 up, 1 right, 3 down, 1 left, 1 up, 1 right, 1 up, 1 left, 3 down, 1 right, 2 up, 1 left, 2 down, 1 right, 3 up, 1 left, 2 down, 1 right, 1 up, 3 right, 1 up, 2 left, 2 down, 2 right. Press select to leave once you've done this. Yay, now Indy's got a picture of the Holy Grail! This could come in handy... Indy gets a message from Sallah. His dad is being held captive, and Marcus has disappeared. Now Indy's got to save his father, find Marcus, and get the cross. If we don't get the cross now, it will be impossible to get it later, so let's get it now. 004b-Cross of Coronado ----------------------------------------------------------- Press Select to take out your whip. Press B to use the whip. Get used to that. Look at the top of screen.

There's a health meter, and a life meter (One grail = one life). Walk off to the left (fall off the boat). A bad guy will run in from the left. When he runs towards you, hit him in the head with the whip. However, if you miss, you'll have to put away your whip and punch/kick him to death. This doesn't really work, so you really need to kill them with the whip. More people come in on Indy; kill them as well. Now, this boat has a lot of doors on it. Enemies will come out of each door. You need to kill 30 people to get the Cross of Coronado. Always be ready for enemies. Once 30 are dead, get to the upper left part of the ship. Kill the person who comes out from there (he's colored differently than the other people you fought before. Kill him for the cross. Indy jumps the boat. Note that if you failed this part here, you have to restart the game. Indy gets a telegraph from Sallah. We now know the location of the Holy Grail. But wait, didn't you forget about Indy's dad? Go save him next.

004c-Brunwald Castle ----------------------------------------------------------- This place is a maze. Sheesh, this is really hard to do. However, with this guide, you won't have to go through all of the agony of trying to find Indy's dad. Look out for Nazis all throughout this level. Kill them like you did in Coronado. Go left and enter the first door you come to (use up to do this). Go up the door there, and up the stairs. Go all the way left and go up the second to last staircase. Go through the door here and then go right. Jump over the ramp by pressing A and B at the same time (the poor controls make it hard). Then go all the way right in this room. It takes a while. Once you're there, go down some steps. Go down the stairs and enter the door. Whip the light on the wall by pressing B and up. The wall opens up; go through it. Stand in front of the chair. Press down; then go through the fireplace. You save Indy's father, who still calls him Junior. Once you're done, it's time to go get Marcus. Can't be that hard, right?

004d-Saving Marcus ----------------------------------------------------------- Great, this is hard. You have to fight about ten Nazis and kill them. The problem? You're fighting on a tank, so you can fall off and die easily. Same fighting rules as in Coronado. Also, you have to do it before the tank falls off the big cliff. This is pretty hard to do. Once you've killed a lot of bad guys, Marcus (in blue) jumps out. If you can't do it, the Nazis steal your dad's diary AND you have to try to save Marcus again. You can go to Berlin to get the diary back, but you don't need to (instructions are included in here). Good luck. 004e-Getting to the Grail ----------------------------------------------------------- Now there's nowhere to go but to the Holy Grail now. You have to walk in the name of the Lord here, which was Jehovah when the Holy Grail was lost. You can only step on plates with the letters of Jehovah on them. Indy's candle burns low while this happens, so move fast. Go three up, two right, five up, two left, one up, seven left, five up, four right, and up as far as you can go.

If you played this game the way it was supposed to be played (without using a guide), you'll know that you passed an obstacle by following this directions. But I digress. 004f-Finding the Grail ----------------------------------------------------------- You're in the inner sanctum of the Holy Grail now. One of the knights that protects the Grail (he drank from the Grail, so he lives forever) is there. He has a variety of cups, and you can only choose one. Can you choose which one is the Grail? How? Wait! You sketched the Grail in Venice! Use the sketch to figure out which one is the Grail. And in case that doesn't help you, the Grail is eighth from the left (on the top row). You choose wisely. Now you get to see the ending! 005-Game Genie Codes ---------------------------------------------------------- I'd go with more lives on the ship and tank section.

Published on Oct 30, 2013 The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums in which they belong. A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once again, however, Mr.

Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector (Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in search of the famed cup — Indiana Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery) — who had recently disappeared during his efforts. The junior and senior members of the Jones family find themselves in a series of tough situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an undercover Nazi agent. The search for the grail is a dangerous quest, and its discovery may prove fatal to those who seek it for personal gain. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade earned a then record-breaking $50 million in its first week of release. License
