Despite Harrison Ford remaining a popular actor, Indiana Jones isn't the franchise with the most longevity, resulting in some then-entertaining quotes that haven't aged well. Following the famed Star Wars alumnus' character's various quests for supernatural artifacts from the ancient world, Indiana Jones was never entirely politically correct.
9 "Don't You Know It's Dangerous To Climb Into A Refrigerator? Those Things Can Be Deathtraps!" Said By General Ross In Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Close Yes, it is dangerous to climb into a fridge, potentially resulting in suffocation. Indy was desperate, as he realized that a nuclear bomb was about to go off, and he had to seek shelter. However, a fridge most likely wouldn't provide enough protection from the explosion or radiation either.
On a different note, Marion never says that she's tired of everyone calling her a "girl" in Raiders of the Lost Ark because this isn't the kind of discourse a movie from 1981 is going to start on. The villains do this a lot, as they are kidnapping her and discussing how to leverage her to get to the Ark. Indy then also refers to Marion as "the girl" while bargaining for her, underscoring the point.
Indy's mantra is about historical artifacts being delivered to the hands of experts who can study them and contribute to the enlightenment of society with their research. This philosophy glosses over the colonialist mindset of taking these artifacts from the cultures to whom they originally belonged, which are often depicted as exotic and violent in this series.
Willie is a whiny damsel while Elsa is a femme fatale, and both characters are very sexualized. Indy still gets to say sweet things like that "they all had the same problem" of not being Marion. Yet he doesn't demonstrate a lot of regret about leaving Marion pregnant. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull tries to have it both ways with nods to Indy's old characterization and treating Marion with more dignity.
3 "The British Worry So About Their Empire. Makes Us Feel Like Well Cared For Children." Said By Chattar Lal In Temple Of Doom Close Temple of Doom exhibits the worst of Indiana Jones' harmful racial stereotypes and its worst depiction of imperialism. During the infamous dinner scene, Indy tries to fish out information about the fictionalized Thuggee cult, who worship Kali through human sacrifices.
