It's just distracting, since the FX of the first two, especially along those lines, are pretty solid. Morbs, maybe you know: why did the look of late 80s Hollywood look so bad? Makeup, lighting, etc. Sort of ... greasy and sweaty? Film stock? Drugs?

what are the bad FX in the last crusade? that zeppelin scene? actually really enjoyed the last crusade when i watched it last year (plenty of nostalgia there, of course, but it was pleasant to revisit)

Last Crusade has the best screenplay of the original three, lots of really witty dialogue and the father/son relationship is very well drawn, but I prefer the other two anyway.

Oh, tons of fun. But basically any vehicle chases. Cars, boats, planes, blimps, trains, etc. Plus blades, animals on the circus train. Pretty frequent.

I've grown to love Raiders slightly more, but Last Crusade was my definitive Indy movie as a kid, since it was the only one of the original three I saw in theatres. I had watched the hell outta the first two on cable/VHS, so that by the time LC was released, it had been built up into a major Event in my life (if my family didn't go on opening night, we definitely went opening weekend), and it didn't disappoint.
I really do think that the Indy movies were my Star Wars, which always felt more like my older cousins' thing (I remember them being super pumped to go see Jedi when it was released and me being told I was too young to go) and, even if I do like them as films (talking about the original trilogy, of course), I never fully embraced or cared about to the degree of seemingly every other male born after 1964 or thereabouts.

don't know much about the 'look' of late '80s Hollywood product (except i generally prefer film to DCP, of course).

BBC showed all four over Easter.
I thought TEMPLE OF DOOM would be worth trying again. Sadly I was wrong - it was actually worse than I remembered. A film they wouldn't make now, and on this occasion that's a good thing.
KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL I saw for the first time. Remarkably bad. Sad that something that started so terrifically was reduced to this. I ended up wondering what had happened to basic action storytelling from c.1981 to 2008 - such a decline.
I didn't watch the other two, which I'm surer than ever are the best.

One part that made me laugh on last rewatching Raiders was the map room scene, where this elaborate set of clues has to be followed in order to… point at the central building on the map?

and the nazis were digging in the wrong place because.. the staff they were using was too short. but why was it too short? i must have missed that during the basket carrying caper.

It's revealed a little later. The two sides of the medallion together give the right staff length, and the Nazis only had one side, the one that was burned into the Gestapo guy's hand.
