While commercially successful, both the critical and ratings board backlash against Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom was almost too much for director Steven Spielberg to take. So much so, he wasn’t sure he wanted to honor the three film deal he and friend George Lucas made, and he was looking at doing other things. At the time the third film was being developed, Spielberg had both Rain Man and Big on his desk to do. It was only after Lucas brought in writer Jeffrey Boam (and Spielberg was allowed to keep the story not so much about the McGuffin as it was about Indy’s relationship with his father) that the director finally relented.
The result, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade. Looked at almost as more course correction than the end of a trilogy, the third Indiana Jones adventure brought in former James Bond Sean Connery, and was turned into a light hearted adventure that despite being released in the huge summer of 1989 (which also contained the already covered on this podcast Tim Burton film Batman) was still the biggest movie of the season, and would have seemed to send the whip cracking archaeologist literally into the sunset happy.
