Trivia:

Selections of Joel McNeely's score, some of which is inspired by John Williams's scores for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and Hook (1991), can be heard on the Varese Sarabande CD "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Volume Four" (1994), produced by Robert Townson. This was the first full length score performed and recorded by The Western Australian Symphony Orchestra.

Quotes:

Donald Parks: You don't appear to know much about trains.
Indiana Jones: Well, actually, I know a lot about trains. I spend my summers working shoveling coal on trains but that really doesn't teach you much about time tables here in the middle of Africa.
