Trivia:

To reprise his role as the legendary explorer Indiana Jones, the 64-year-old Harrison Ford spent three hours a day at the gym, and subsisted on a high-protein diet of fish and vegetables, thus building his body into a condition where he could perform his own stunts (he always kept himself fit anyway, as he hoped to complete all the five Indiana Jones films that were originally planned in the 1980s). Steven Spielberg later stated he was so impressed with Ford's form that he could not tell the difference between the shoots for the third and fourth films.

Quotes:

[from trailer]
Indiana Jones: Legend says that a crystal skull was stolen from a mythical lost city in the Amazon, supposedly built out of solid gold, guarded by the living dead. Whoever returns the skull to the city temple will be given control over its power.

Great film

A fantastic film from start to finish. I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening over the weekend and I was amazed at to how the team was able to make yet another Indy film. I must say I had my doubts but they were swiftly brushed to one side.

Fantastic action sequences and tense moments really drove home the action portion of the film, whereas the sentimental emotional scenes really got me.

In my opinion this is probably my second favourite Indy film, which it should hold in some high regard as the previous three are firm favourites in my movie library.

Absolutely sublime from start to finish
