Remember How Weird 'Crystal Skull' Was?

Even though Han Solo isn’t faring too well these days, you can’t kill Indiana Jones. On Tuesday, it was announced that Steven Spielberg is directing a fifth Indiana Jones film and, as much as I love Harrison Ford (that is, more than my own family), I feel very... meh. If we were going by the track record of the first three films, I would understand. But, since we living in a post-Kingdom of the Crystal Skull world, I’m gonna have to say... maybe pass on that idea? Because, next to its predecessors, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an egregiously bad film, and, hey, maybe it’s even an egregiously bad film on its own merits, too.

The plot is a little convoluted, so bear with me as I try to sift through this. Basically, Indiana Jones is roped into a new adventure when a greaser named Mutt Williams recruits him to save his mom and Jones’ former colleague. Turns out Mutt’s mom is Marion Ravenwood (WEIRD), and everyone gets wrapped up into this escapade that involves, like, a bunch of communists that want to get their hands on the titular Crystal Skull. It gets extraterrestrial real quick, and then it isn’t fun for anyone anymore.

Regardless, enjoy these chronologically documented 27 ridiculous things from Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull., because what are bad movies if not to be enjoyed with merriment?
