DVD Description

The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums in which they belong. A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once again, however, Dr. Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector (Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in search of the famed cup s family find themselves in a series of tough situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an undercover Nazi agent.

Special Features:

  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: An Introduction by Steven Spielberg & George Lucas
  • The Women: The American Film Institute Tribute—The three Indiana Jones women (Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw and Alison Doody) reunite for a discussion.

    Synopsis
    Steven Spielberg's third action-packed entry in the Indiana Jones trilogy evokes the cliffhanger Saturday matinee serials of yesteryear. It's 1938 and Indy (Harrison Ford) receives word that his archaeologist dad, Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery), has disappeared while on a quest for the Holy Grail. Indy embarks on a search for both his dad and the much-coveted artefact. THE LAST CRUSADE has a unique twist to the series' traditional opening-sequence cliffhanger. Actor River Phoenix plays an adolescent Indy who, while on a field trip with his Boy Scout troop, finds adventure on a circus train. Spielberg wanted to make the film about a father-and-son relationship, and Connery was his first choice to play Indy's dad. The selection was perfect, considering Spielberg and producer George Lucas first came up with the idea of the series as a rival to the James Bond movies in which Connery had starred. Before shooting THE LAST CRUSADE, Spielberg was planning on directing RAIN MAN with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise but gave up the project to fulfil his contractual obligation with Lucas to make a third Indiana Jones movie.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Harrison and co do it again! , 20 May 2008
    The 3rd and last indy film to be made and those cheeky nazi's are at it again, with attaining the holy grail firmly on their agenda! Seemingly so preoccupied with seeking out sacred artifacts it's no wonder they lost the war. On hand to help Indy this time is his father played by sean connery and it has to be said he steals the show (won best actor osca 1989). As with the previous films the stunts are brilliant the set pieces are also very well thought out. Don't worry, for this special edition all the scenes involving short-round have been cut out.
    Unlike the phantom menace, attack of the clones, revenge of the sith etc etc... beard guru george lucas has come up with a pretty good story that still holds up even after all these years. Luckilly spielberg made this film before he went mental.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cool collection of action, myth and adventure, 12 April 2009
    By Stampy (England) - See all my reviews
    After his father disappears archaeologist Indiana Jones (Ford) sets off to find him and finds himself getting lured into a quest to find the Holy Grail.

    The third instalment of the quadrilogy defines the term adventure. Fast with some sparkling set pieces and adrenaline soaked action the Last Crusade is one of the finest instalments to the series which has seen its ups and downs.

    The second part Temple of Doom received criticism for its overly played portrayal of an evil religion juxtaposed with the concept of human survival. This was somewhat farfetched but nevertheless entertaining and so as part of a deal between director Spielberg and producer George Lucas, this third part was made and if anything was going to numb the critiques of the previous release, then this 1989 adventure sure did.

    Harrison Ford reprises the role of the most famous onscreen archaeologist to wondrous applause with his usual cocky and knowledgeable portrayal of Jones. But what gives him the bit extra sophistication in this part is the encoded symbol of his father Henry Jones senior, played with knowledge and experience by Sean Connery. The pairing works wonders, creating plenty of humour and enough drama to grasp the emotional bond between the pair which brings together a story of survival and belief.

    Perhaps the most controversial of the entire series, part 3 takes a look at the legend of the Holy Grail, the symbol of everlasting life from biblical times. The journey towards its resting place is undoubtedly entertaining but what is interesting is that it is almost educational as facts are dropped about the legend. Having used the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark is followed by an equally in-depth look at God's powers.

    Last Crusade brings all the usual elements that are now expectant of the series. Fights, chases and dangerous animals. After seeing the great but horribly uncomfortable inclusion of the snake in Raiders it was almost equally spine tingling to view Indiana in the tunnel of rats, a squirming sequence that is rattled with action and suspense. As for chases the tank scenes stand out and although lasting a small time the boat sequence in Venice is memorable for some death defying thrills.

    Far more than an action adventure the inclusion of a mythical legend adds to the dazzle of the film's appeal and if you have seen the previous two then this is an essential watch

    The release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull almost downgrading the reputation this could have been the finest swan song. This should be the moment when the tale of the archaeologist truly climaxed.

    9/10

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice adventure, 8 Feb 2009
    By R. May (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
    Although not as popular as the first Indiana Jones film, this still is a funny story with unforgettable scenes, such as the eyeball soup and the bugs covered tunnel. Always good for a shudder and a good laugh.
