3. In "Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom", which Hindu God did the cult worship?

Answer: Kali

The cult in the movie was based on the real-life cult of the Thuggee, who worship Kali. Kali is the goddess "who devours time" and she is often portrayed as evil in some of her iterations, but without Kali, there is also no life-energy.

4. In which language did Indy have to count to twenty in before his father would listen to him?

Answer: Sand

The Nazis are disappointed to find sand, but when two Angels of Death emerge from the ark, Indy realises that they musn't be looked upon. By shutting his eyes, and the eyes of his beautiful sidekick, he is saved while the Nazis all perish.

6. What does Indiana Jones have a fear of?

Answer: Snakes

In the Well of Souls in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark", the floor is covered with snakes. Indy's famous quote: "Snakes...I hate snakes."

7. In "The Last Crusade" where did Henry find the clues that could safely take them through the three challenges?

Answer: The Chronicles of St. Anselm

He has to overcome a razor-sharp triple pendulum, walk on the tiles that spell the name of God, and take a leap of faith into an abyss, only to land on a camouflaged bridge. These were known as "Breath of God", "Word of God", and "Path of God".

8. Lao Che was a villain from the "Indiana Jones" movies who survived an encounter with Indy.

Answer: True

Lao Che was the owner of the Club Obi-Wan (named after Obi-Wan Kenobi of the "Star Wars saga) and survived trying to kill Indy. Lao Che is played by Roy Chiao, a Chinese actor, and his character is sometimes said to be too stereotypically Chinese.

A number of other villains including Lao Che's son and Chattar Lal also survived encounters with Indy.

9. In "The Last Crusade" who drove to his death in the tank that Indy forced over the cliff?

Answer: Colonel Vogel

German soldiers often had Luger sidearms on them in the "Indiana Jones" movies, but this was not the name of the colonel. After killing the German soldiers, Indy forced Colonel Vogel to drive to his death in the tank as it falls off a cliff.

10. The price of immortality means the Grail can not pass beyond what marker?

Answer: The Great Seal

The Great Seal is the sign above the entrance to the Temple that houses the Holy Grail. Despite the crusader's warnings, Elsa attempts to take the Grail out of the temple and causes an earthquake. She falls into a chasm, and could have been saved but for her greed, which leads her to try and get the Grail instead of saving her own life.

Indy falls into the same predicament (literally) and his father convinces him to forget about the Grail by calling him "Indiana" for the first time.
