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 million in its first week of release..../ Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Special Edition) / indiana jones dvd
Not as good as the first one, but better than the second. That’s been the consensus opinion regarding Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the final installment in Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’ original adventure trilogy, throughout the nearly two decades since its 1989 theatrical release. It’s a fair assessment. After the relatively dark and disturbing Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) recalls the sheer fun of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). With its variety of colorful locations, multiple chase scenes (the opening sequence on a circus train, with River Phoenix as the young Indy, is one of the best of the series, as is the boat chase through the canals of Venice), and cloak-and-dagger vibe, it’s the closest in tone to a James Bond outing, which director Spielberg has noted was the inspiration for the trilogy in the first place; what’s more, it harkens back to Raiders in its choice of villains (i.e., the Nazis--Indy even comes face to face with Hitler at a rally in Berlin) and its quest for an antiquity of incalculable value and significance (the Holy Grail, the chalice said to have been the receptacle of Christ's blood as he hung on the cross). Add to that the presence of Sean Connery, playing Indy’s father and having a field day opposite Harrison Ford, and you’ve got a most welcome return to form.

The Last Crusade is action/adventure at its best : Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Special Edition)
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" disappoints, for its inability to construct a believable action scene. Who'd get taken in by this blatant cartoonery? I, frankly, miss the stark realism and gritty humanism of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Temple of Doom". What? They were live-action cartoons too? Well, that changes everything, then, doesn't it?
Kidding aside, you shouldn't ever go into an Indiana Jones movie expecting credible action. And "The Last Crusade" has the least credible, but at times most fun, action of any in the series. Watch as Indy, armed only with a horse and the strap from his bag, manages to outrun and outgun a German tank. Later in the sequence, we get a moment that for me defines the ethos Spielberg and Lucas have built for this series. Indiana is wrestling with some Nazis on the tank. The tank moves slowly towards a cliff. Instead of jumping off the tank at the last minute, leaving the baddies to tumble to their doom, Indy appears to go over the cliff with them. His entourage, which includes his stoic father, rushes to the side of the cliff just in time to see the tank hit bottom and explode. Somber faces all around. Just as they say their goodbyes, the camera cuts to a hand appearing by the cliff's edge, out of their view. It's Indy! He's alive! After a quick moment to brush himself off, he joins his friends to see what the fuss is about. His father does a pitch-perfect double-take upon noticing him, then explodes in joyous tears. The scene ends with Indy, collapsed in exhaustion, surprised when his fedora, thought lost in the wreckage, tumbles into his lap. It's a perfect blend of classic Saturday matinee hokiness with a dollop of contemporary self-awareness. The filmmakers know that Indy's invincible. The actors know it. And most importantly, the audience knows it. But for a brief moment, the film has us going. Then it allows us to laugh at our own gullibility.
Besides mocking the genre pictures from whence it came, "The Last Crusade" spends a lot of time winking and nudging about its own past. The character, by this point in the trilogy, has a lot of history, and much of it is playfully referenced here. One key moment finds Indy and his current Jones girl, Elsa, exploring the catacombs underneath a Venetian library. Intricate hieroglyphics adorn the walls. One in particular looks like a glowing golden box. Elsa points it out and asks, "What's this one?" "The Ark of the Covenant," says Indy. "Are you sure?" she confirms, perfectly setting up his deadpan reply: "Pretty sure." More explicitly is the infamous opening sequence, starring River Phoenix as Young Indiana. In it we see, during one quick trip across a Circus train, the origins of Indy's fedora, his whip, his fear of snakes, and his knack for adventure. Even though I have some trouble believing that the fragile and feline Phoenix will grow up to be the rugged and rough Harrison Ford, he has enough fun during the sequence to make my qualms disappear.
Which leads me to the casting of Indy's father. It might seem far-fetched to have the decidedly Midwestern Ford fathered by Sean Connery. But like Phoenix, Connery has enough fun here to make you forget the differences in their accents. You'll be won over by the twinkle in his eye and the bounce in his step. The movie relies heavily on their chemistry, and at this task it does not fail. Connery, who provided the model for Indiana Jones in the first place (what is Indiana Jones if not an archaeological James Bond?), plays against type: he's a bookworm. Armed with his tweed jacket and neat bow-tie, he's hardly the Jones patriarch you were expecting. Henry Jones is a Mr. Magoo-type character, accidentally finding ways of saving the day, when his more daring son can't. In "The Last Crusade", Connery proves, through the power of his towering charisma and impeccable comedic timing, why he's still a star, some forty years after "Dr. No".
Not so successful a casting choice is Alison Doody. Her Elsa continues the tradition of Indy's leading women getting better and better looking, while being played by poorer and poorer actresses. From Karen Allen, to Kate Capshaw, to a new high/low. If this trend continues, I expect to see Denise Richards in "Indy IV". True, you understand why the shallowness in Indy's character would find her appealing, but Doody brings little more than wooden line readings to the movie.
While not as 'important' a movie as others in his oeuvre, "The Last Crusade" once again shows how adept Steven Spielberg is at manipulating an audience into high gear. The action sequences are economical and exciting, the visual jokes work like a charm every time, and the special effects, while already dated, work in a cheesy/kitschy kind of way. On top of all this, Spielberg throws in more Nazi imagery here than in any of his other movies, including "Schindler's List". When Indy finds himself face-to-face with Hitler, in one of the film's best jokes, Spielberg doesn't miss the opportunity for some fun at the fuhrer's expense.
The ending, much-maligned, does well servicing the story. We've been leading up to finding the Holy Grail, but it's not really an important part of the story, just an excuse for mild adventures. After all, the filmmakers didn't even bother to come up with a menacing villain to stand in the Jones' way. What we do get is a hubristic stooge, whose obsessiveness is burning so intensely, it's obvious to everyone but him that it will be his downfall. The ending provides some suspenseful moments, gives all the characters credible reasons for doing what they have to do to move the story along, and ties up all the loose ends. It's a fine way to wrap up another fun entry in the Indiana Jones series.
