It's entirely a matter of opinion.


* This and SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, when Short Round and Indy are pummeling the Raj and his slaver in unison as the camera cuts between them. If the earlier hat-swap was the emotional synchronous moment, this is the badass determinator moment. Dammit, Short Round should have taken over the Indy name for the fifth film.
* Though it's not enough for Willie to be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, during the mine cart chase scene a determined mook attempts to strangle Indiana Jones to death whilst hijacking their cart riding at top speed, and doesn't let go. Willie finally makes herself useful after spending the entire film doing nothing but complaining, and simply punches the mook square in the face, sending him flying. And knocking the other cart off track. Indy was impressed.

-->'''Maharaja:''' I have heard the evil stories of the Thugee cult. I thought the stories were told to frighten children. Later I learned that the Thugee cult was once real and did unspeakable things. I am ashamed of what happened here many years ago and I assure you it will never happen again in my kingdom.\\

* Indy, brainwashed, being snapped out of it by Short Round (also gives Willie a short moment beforehand she slaps Indy for being weak enough to let himself get brainwashed). Then, instead of just running off with the Shankara stones, he saves Short Round, a villageful of children and Willie. ''Then'' he proves how the IndyPloy doesn't always work, ''twice'' (once in a [[BottomlessMagazines subversion]] of the previous movie's awesomeness), before proving that, while cutting a shaky rope bridge, sometimes it does.

** (Indy's invocation is Narm to some, but you may recall that this ties in to the clues Indy discovered in the catacombs and the scrap of fabric the escaped slave child gives him. It seems to be the password that activates the Sankara stones' supposed magic).
** Narm my ass... the DeathGlare Indy gives Mola Ram is fantastic, and the fact that he's practically spitting out the incantation; as if to say, "You and Kali can go ''fuck'' yourselves!"
