I just love when Elsa bites Indy's ear and lip.

It's so fucking sexy that I get goosebumps everytime I rewatch The Last Crusade.

In 1938, archeological Professor Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr (Harrison Ford) was recruited once more to beat the Nazi’s to another religious relic, this time the Holy Grail. This adventure reunited him with his estranged father (Sean Connery) and, in an odd turn of events, even gave him a brief encounter with Adolf Hitler (Michael Sheard).

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

After the criticism the violence of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom received and subsequent introduction of the PG-13 rating, it’s no surprise director Steven Spielberg toned down the intensity of the third movie in the series. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade still offers rousing action sequences that’ll have you sweating bullets, plenty of memorable scenes to treasure, endearing characters and terrific special effects but the nightmare fuel has been replaced with comedy. This makes it the funniest of the original trilogy by far. For some, this will take something away from the character but for others, this will make this third film their favorite.

In 1938, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford, charming as ever) learns his father, Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery), has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail. While on their trail, Indy teams up with Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) and learns the Nazis are also after the biblical relic.

Let me tell you about the picture's opening scene. It’s set in 1912 and follows a 13-year-old Indy (River Phoenix) as he discovers a group of grave robbers stealing a valuable artifact. It’s essentially a prequel to the series (and less a “sequel set in the past” like Temple of Doom). We see how our hero learned to use a whip, developped his phobia of snakes and obtained his trademark hat. Every other time you see this kind of thing, it makes you roll your eyes. Under Spielberg's direction, it works. The difference is that these events aren’t treated as priceless relics the world must pause and gaze at. They’re just things that happened. The hat, for instance. It comes from the most unlikely source. Right away, you know you’re in good hands. Your fingers dig deep into your armchair even though you know things are going to be alright because everything is so well paced. The action’s creative, the stunts immaculate. No wonder it inspired a television series.

Once The Last Crusade gets going, it never stops. You’re constantly met with surprises, laughs and action scenes that bring something new. They’re mini adventures that build up to the ever-elusive Grail but the sum feels less like a collection of adventure serials than in the past. This is a “movie” in that there is an overall theme and an emotional arc for our hero. It’s damn well written and paced. You won’t even notice the 2hr+ running time. Those who’ve seen the film before and are revisiting it might be looking forward to that chase scene with the tank of those amazing booby traps but there’s so much fun along the way it’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite moment. Favorite character? Maybe. Sean Connery is such a good match for Harrison Ford. If you can’t pick between them, you’ll probably choose to upset neither team and go for Alison Doody. Partially because… well, just look at her! But also because they give her character a lot to do despite having limited screen time compared to the male leads. She’s terrific, a worthy match for Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood but in no way an imitation.

Do you lean more towards the kid-friendly (well, not THAT friendly) action comedy or the horror adventure genre? This will determine whether Raiders or Last Crusade is your favorite movie in the franchise but in the end, you’re just splitting hairs. This is an excellent film on its own and as a third chapter in a series, it’s even better. It teems with imagination and the best scenes are so great you're torn between admiring the filmmaking at work or sitting back to enjoy the ride. The performances, score, action scenes, stunts, dialogue are all so great. There’s something here for just about everyone. (On Blu-ray, July 10, 2020)
