“Everybody fell on the floor in hysterics”: Steven Spielberg Couldn’t Cut the Best Unscripted Moment From Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Released 35 years back in 1989, Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade became a cult classic movie in the long-standing franchise. Exploring emotional themes of the complex father-son relationships, epic action sequences, and the iconic good vs. evil narrative where the protagonist fights against the Nazis, the movie became a fan-favorite watch worldwide.
