Movie Review: 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'

Image
“Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) Directed by Steven Spielberg Written by Jeffrey Boam, from a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes Starring: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Alison Doody, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, Michael Byrne, John Rhys-Davies, River Phoenix Fedora: You've got heart, kid. (indicates cross) Fedora: But that belongs to me. Indy: It belongs to Coronado. Fedora: Coronado is dead. And so are all his grandchildren. Indy: This should be in a museum! As a result of the mixed critical reaction to “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” director Steven Spielberg told his friend (and executive producer)  George Lucas that the next chapter of the trilogy needed to evoke the lighter, more fun spirit of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”   Lucas first suggested a story that featured a haunted castle, but Spielberg rejected that idea because it was too similar to “Poltergeist.”  Lucas then pitched a plot that involved the Holy Grail.
