Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

After Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom, Indy came back for The Last Crusade, the third and final movie in the series. They never made another one. It just wouldn’t make sense to do that.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade definitely raises some questions, like how crazy is it that Indy got all his iconic items in like a 15 minute period on the same day? Why didn’t Henry warn Indy about his nazi girlfriend? What’s up with all the bad decisions made during chase scenes?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Not mentioning the problem of an UNDERGROUND catacomb in Venice is tight 😂

"The penitent man kneels before God, and then does a cool Ninja roll."

"Like in the scriptures!"

Covering the Indiana Jones movies out of chronological order is TIGHT

Gotta admire Screenwriter Guy's sneaky and subtle trick to get his choice of actor.

Doing a Pitch Meeting for the last ever Indiana Jones movie that was ever made (or will be made) is tight!

Writer Guy's excitement for casting Sean Connery was wholesome.

”He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.

For those of you laughing at the obviousness of the "probably not one of the plates" line, in a number of Grail stories the Grail is a plate and the use of plate props in the movie is on point.

I’m impressed you did that whole thing without mentioning the tank chase - arguably the best sequence in any of these!

[geardog]

Dr. Elsa died because of her obsession with the Grail.

If only she could’ve … let it go.

Henry's reaction to Indy "falling" off the cliff, followed by Indy's incorrect interpretation of why everyone is staring, is both heart-wrenching and comedy gold

[davetheguitarplayer]

Ninja roll "like in the scriptures" - literally burst out loud laughing at that. 🤣

[hhadzimu]

"How is this guy still skeptical about this kind of thing?!"

[atomicmrpelly]

"Probably not one of the plates" might just be my favourite line from a Pitch Meeting ever.

[infinitestare]

I can't BELIEVE you still haven't done the Pitch Black/Riddick pitch meetings. You should do those

[LoveStallion]

Not waiting until the Nazis actually left the dock in the boat has driven me nuts since I was a kid.

[aroxdene]

"Probably not one of the plates" was a perfectly delivered line. I lost it.

Seen this 100 times and never noticed how he grabbed the “L” and “Y” letters. 👏👏👏😀

If I had a nickel for every time a character originated by Harrison Ford got all of their iconic items/ personality traits/ quirks in a surprisingly short time period, while being played by a different actor, then basically staying unchanged for years, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

[Beautiful-ModelBarbara-Hut-sj]

Giving origin stories to singular aspects of Harrison Fords characters seems to be quiet popular in Hollywood
