Sex & Nudity

None
74 of 113 found this to have none
Indy is shown bare-chested, being scrubbed down in a decontamination chamber.
Indy and Marion hug and lean in to kiss but are interrupted.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
47 of 78 found this moderate
Indy punches Mac in the nose just as he promised.
The opening scene of the movie involves a group of Russians dressed like Americans killing a group of American soldiers all of it is offscreen, but the next scene shows their dead bodies.
A group of Russian Soldiers kill Ancient Temple Guards (offscreen, but the bodies are shown)
Lots of punching and kicking literally....some characters are shown bloody after a fight (but survive just fine).
Several scenes with knife and gun-play (but without almost any blood as a result of gun shots).
Some ancient dead bodies are shown, one man was well preserved and when the wrapping comes off he disintegrates onscreen.
Lots of jokes about dead bodies. In one scene Indy says "hold this" and throws a mummified corpse at his friend; a close up of the dead face is shown. This scene can be shocking in a 'jumpy' kind of way.
Indy kills a man by forcing a blow dart back into his mouth. This is sudden, and rather disturbing.
Mac is shot in the foot.

Profanity

Mild
55 of 83 found this mild
1 use of "Shit", 1 use of "Bullshit", and 3 uses of "Son of a bitch". A few uses of 'Damn'

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
53 of 71 found this mild
Some alcohol drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
47 of 81 found this moderate
Indy and Marion sink in quicksand, but are rescued just in time.
The scene with the ants will freak some people out.
Several dead bodies are shown.
Lots of skeletons, one is particularly scary.
The opening scene in which guards are gunned down in cold blood may be upsetting and offensive.
The death count isn't as much as the previous Indy films.
A boat sails over three waterfalls, each one bigger than the previous one (the passengers are jostled and eventually are thrown out of the boat but are all OK).
