Annie Jones (Joy Miller) is the great-granddaughter of Indiana Jones. She appears in the episode "Peking, March 1910", where she attends a family Thanksgiving dinner with her great-grandfather. It is unknown if Annie is the daughter of Caroline Jones, or another of the adults at the dinner. The character's scenes were removed, when the episodes were re-edited into the Adventures of Young Indiana Jones movies (which deleted all old Indiana Jones bookends). In the film's opening, Belloq and Hovitos tribesmen force Indiana to hand over a fertility idol he has braved numerous booby traps to obtain. Belloq aids the Nazis in finding the Ark of the Covenant, as he wants to use the relic to speak with God. When the Ark is opened, its contained spirits engulf Belloq in flames and cause his head to explode; Indiana and Marion are spared and turn the Ark over to the US government. At one point in the film, Belloq says to Indy that they are very much alike and that he is Indy's "shadowy reflection". This section includes characters who will appear or have appeared in the Indiana Jones film franchise.

In 1975, Lucas discussed his serial film idea with his friend Philip Kaufman. The pair worked on a story for two weeks. [22] Lucas imagined his character as a college professor and archaeologist adventurer, based on his own appreciation for archaeology and famous archaeologists like Hiram BinghamIII, Roy Chapman Andrews, and Leonard Woolley. [23] Kaufman removed Lucas' vision of Smith as a nightclub patron and womanizer, and suggested the Ark of the Covenant as the film's central goal; [19] [22] he learned of the Ark from his hematologist. [24] The Ark provided a source of conflict for the hero and the Nazis, playing off Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's historical fascination with the occult. [25] In the early script of the film, written by Lawrence Kasdan, Marion was set to be a prostitute after Abner's death, but George Lucas rejected the script. The Luftwaffe Mechanic ( Pat Roach) challenges Indiana to a one-on-one fight as Indy is attempting to reach the pilot of a flying wing. The muscular mechanic gets the better of Indy for most of the fight, which takes place on the airstrip, but he fails to move away from the propeller of the flying wing in time and is cut to pieces. In the early script of the film, written by Lawrence Kasdan, Dietrich's surname was Schliemann, and he was set to survive the Ark of the Covenant's opening; after this, he and other surviving Nazis were set to pursue Marion and Indy in a minecar chase. However, the script was scrapped, and the minecar chase was recycled for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The only piece of Dietrich merchandise has been a 1984 metal miniature. [25] The DK Indiana Jones guide established his first name in the index. [37] Sallah [ edit ]Belloq was intended to be a sophisticated villain to counter the "beer-drinking" hero. [12] Spielberg cast Freeman after seeing him in the docudrama Death of a Princess (1980); Freeman's piercing eyes had captivated him. [41] Giancarlo Giannini and singer Jacques Dutronc were also considered. [31] [41] Danny DeVito was approached to portray Sallah, described as a skinny, 5ft (1.5m) tall Egyptian like Gunga Din in Gunga Din (1939). [31] [41] DeVito could not participate because of scheduling conflicts with his sitcom Taxi and because his agent wanted too much money. [19] [41] Rhys-Davies was cast based on his performance in the 1980 miniseries Shōgun. Spielberg asked him to play the character as a mix of his Shōgun role and the character John Falstaff. [19] [31] Ronald Lacey was cast as Toht because he reminded Spielberg of actor Peter Lorre. [15] Klaus Kinski was offered the role but chose to appear in the horror film Venom (1981) because it offered more money. [15] Filming [ edit ] On-set filming location, Elstree Studios (pictured 2009) in Hertfordshire, England. In the novelization, Chattar Lal is thrown into the lava pit while in the film he is injured but he does not die, whereas in Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, he is blown apart by a blast of heat caused by Indy and Short Round.

In the book-burning scene, Ronald Lacey, who played Toht in the Raiders of the Lost Ark, cameos as Heinrich Himmler. A fictionalized version of Giacomo Puccini. He appears in the episode "Florence, May 1908" (later edited into the second half of the film The Perils of Cupid). Puccini becomes infatuated with Anna, Indy's mother, and pursues her romantically. Puccini asks Anna to run away with him. However, in the end, Anna makes the choice to stay with her husband and son. In the original broadcast version of "Florence, May 1908", it is implied that Puccini based his opera 1910 La fanciulla del West on his affair with Anna Jones. Giacomo Puccini was portrayed by Georges Corraface. The character of Oxley was created by Frank Darabont in his script of Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods. However, in his scrapped script, Oxley's name was Vernon Oxley. Susie Jones was the sister of Indiana Jones, daughter of Anna and Henry Jones Sr., along with posthumous aunt of Mutt Williams and Sophie Jones. Indiana and Anna mention her in "Peking, March 1910" (later edited into Journey of Radiance), where Susie is implied to have passed away from poor health as a baby.

An empty, dark grey cell indicates the character was not in the film, or that the character's official presence has not yet been confirmed. Philip Kaufman (left) in 1991 and Lawrence Kasdan in 2015. Kaufman originated the idea of using the Ark of the Covenant as a central plot device. Kasdan wrote the finished script based on individual set pieces devised by Lucas and Spielberg. Belloq was intended to appear in the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but the character was written out for unknown reasons. [20] He was set to appear in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, but the show was canceled before its third season. He and the 21-year-old Indiana would have become friends in Honduras in 1920, although his ruthless traits would be exhibited by stealing and selling a crystal skull to F. A. Mitchell-Hedges. He would have aided Indiana and Percy Fawcett in Brazil in an episode set in 1921. [21] He was also intended to appear in the canceled Dark Horse Comics limited series Indiana Jones and the Lost Horizon, in which he appears in the prologue discovering a fake Turin Shroud in New York City in 1926.

Marcus Brody ( Denholm Elliott) is an academic and curator who has known Indy since he was a child. Brody was friends with Indy's father, Henry Sr., and served as something of a surrogate father figure, as Indy did not get along well with his own father. In the film, Brody makes a deal with government agents that Indy will recover the Ark of the Covenant and put it in a museum, but the agents put it away in a top secret hiding place, much to his disappointment. He reappeared in The Last Crusade (1989), aiding Indiana on the search for his father and getting captured by the Nazis. In 1940, Marcus Brody retired as curator of the National Museum and accepted a position as dean of students at Marshall College. After Brody died in 1952, Indy lobbied hard for the bronze statue of Brody featured in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on the Marshall College grounds. The statue of Brody lists his years of service as dean of students from 1939 to 1944. [30] Denholm Elliott's death in 1992 was written into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with the death of his character. Aziz Rahim (Alaa Safi) is the millionaire son of a Moroccan mobster and the ex-fiancé of Helena Shaw. Belloq's first name was Emile in an August 1979 draft of the script, [17] and Marion was originally more infatuated with him. [18] Spielberg considered Jacques Dutronc and Giancarlo Giannini for the part before casting Freeman. While watching Death of a Princess he noticed that Freeman had very piercing eyes.
