The science in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

“The devil tomato approves... reluctantly.”
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Masterfully crafted. Un-roastable.
An absolute cinematic disaster.
In 1938, an art collector appeals to eminent archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones to embark on a search for the Holy Grail. Indy learns that a medieval historian has vanished while searching for it, and the missing man is his own father, Dr. Henry Jones Sr.. He sets out to rescue his father by following clues in the old man's notebook, which his father had mailed to him before he went missing. Indy arrives in Venice, where he enlists the help of a beautiful academic, Dr. Elsa Schneider, along with Marcus Brody and Sallah. Together they must stop the Nazis from recovering the power of eternal life and taking over the world!

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
Just got out of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade actually is?
Rewatched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
Director clearly thought Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
