Plot Summary

Indiana Jones pushes off to the Amazon to help an old friend who had been working on tracing a mysterious artifact and who has now been kidnapped.

What Worked

The scene at the beginning of the film where Indy stumbles onto a nuclear test site just seconds before detonation. Very well done and we get to see Indy silhouetted against a large full screen mushroom cloud!

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

The fight in the Amazon jungle – this was so unintentionally funny, the vehicles move on two parallel tracks, ha, ha, and there is a lot of jumping, and catching, and sword fighting. The scene also looks quite tacky because of the special effects used.
