Trivia:
When it came to filming the rat scene, the producers inquired of their insurer, Fireman's Fund, whether they were insured if the animals were for some reason indisposed, due to illness, an accident, or simply because they refused to perform. This was a delicate issue, as one lost day of filming can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet the experts at Fireman's Fund were able to reach a compromise which pleased both sides. They asked the director what would be the least number of rats needed for a dramatic shot. If different camera angles were used, 1,000 rats would probably be sufficient, came the answer. Thus Fireman's Fund underwrote the world's first insurance policy with a 1,000-rat deductible. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: In the second test, to 'walk in the footsteps of the name of God', Indy nearly falls when he mistakenly starts to spell "Jehovah" with a "J" instead of an "I". While it is true that the use of the letter "J" came about centuries after the first crusade, the word "Jehovah/Iehovah" - or any other spelling - was not in use then either! It was created by faulty scholarship at the time of the King James Version translation of texts into English. Hebrew texts refer to God with YHVH, which is never spoken aloud. Instead, Hebrew manuscripts insert the vowel pointing for "Adonai" - "Lord" - which is substituted when the text is spoken aloud. The Christian translators were unaware of this, and inserted the vowels with the consonants and unknowingly created "Jehovah" for their English text. So there are several centuries difference between the era of the First Crusade, when the three knight brothers lived and heard/read scripture, and the translation of the King James Version which created the word "Jehovah". moreSoundtrack:

Everything clicks in this action-packed cliffhanger. In his third (and what for years what thought to be his last) adventure, Indy is on the hunt for that ultimate treasure, the Holy Grail. Along the way he must contend with Nazis, a secret brotherhood and, of course, snakes. Sean Connery is a wonderful addition as Indy's father, and the chemistry between he and star Harrison Ford may just be one of the best in film history. The movie is a true rarity in that its attempts to outdo each preceding chase sequence succeed. Though children might have trouble interpreting the plot, this crusade is one people of all ages will enjoy.
