Of all the Indiana Jones films you pick this one???
He is obviously also an X-Files fan.
In that year the X-File movie was not an X-File but the Indiana Jones movie was. It was a very odd year.

That was just a plot device to play the Jones character against the opposite kind of woman from Raiders. It avoided the necessity of making Jones be really different in the obligatory sequel. I mean the script and scenes could be very similar but the woman and kid made them play different.
Seriously. The pisser is the kid.

Absolutely unbearable.
I didn't think it was that bad... hell I still consider it a good film.
But the last crusade just seemed the obvious choice.
I found for myself whether or not I like a movie depends in large part on my expectations. When I first saw The Blues Brothers I was expecting a comedy as in SNL. I did not like it. All the music made no sense. A few years later I read that it was a musical comedy. Literally almost a light dawned and I have liked it ever since.
Take Crystal Skull as an X-File movie and it isn't half bad.
