We are now as far from the first Indiana Jones film as it was from the Republic (and other) serials that inspired it, but that's not the only tricky arithmetic in this fifth (and final?) film outing for the franchise. While the first three were set in the 1930s, the fourth moved to the 1950s to accommodate the decades between The Last Crusade and those Crystal Skulls.

There are very few movie characters who ignite our imagination with as much gusto as Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones, the whip-cracking, tomb- raiding archeologist with a penchant for getting into trouble, kicking Nazi ass, and getting the girl – well sometimes.

We’re going to unearth the truth on this burning question and find out in this episode of What Really Happened to this Movie?!
