Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Knight
The Grail Knight was portrayed by the late Robert Eddison in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. While unnamed in the final film, the Grail Knight introduces himself to Indiana Jones in Jeffrey Boam 's revised first draft of Indy III: 'I am Lord de Bauvis sic, seigneur of St. Gobain and Folembray. The Grail Knight’s (Robert Eddison) sword from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The ghostly knight used his sword when Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) arrived in the Grail chamber for his final trial in the quest for the cup of Christ.
Not everyone can do what Indy can do — and there's a reason why.
He's fallen into a pit of snakes, bypassed ancient boobytraps and can even escape a runaway boulder. Over the years, a lot of fans have wondered how exactly does Indiana Jones survive all these outrageous adventures.

A fan theory on Reddit, posted by the user That_secret_chord, may have the answer. It lies in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the third film in the Indiana Jones franchise.
The user writes in their post on Reddit, 'food for Thought: Indiana Jones drinking from the Holy Grail helped him survive unlikely scenarios, most notably the infamous fridge scene.'
According to Grail myth (or at least the parts of the myth that The Last Crusade adheres to), is if you drink from the Holy Grail, it will grant you immortality. The only catch is that you can't leave the temple it's housed in (otherwise known as passing through the Great Seal).
However, even though Indy left the cave where they found the Holy Grail, it seems that the Grail gave him special healing powers at the very least — or even an extended life span.
However, some Redditors have their own doubts.
Reddit user Doctor Death responded to the post saying, 'Henry Sr. Drank from it on the other side of the seal, and it didn't do shit.. but when Indy poured the water over the bullet wound, it seemingly washed away,' adding, 'even though drinking from it may not make you immortal, the water held in the cup may have magical healing powers? Only Spielberg knows.'
Another user, NewLeaf37, pointed out that the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones keeps close in line to traditional Grail myth. They said, 'the Grail's immortality applies if you keep drinking from it, and the Grail can't leave the temple-thing. However, even drinking from it once grants healing properties and extended life, as evidenced by the fact that the knight's brothers lived to extreme old age before dying, despite having left.'
In the most recent film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy takes his increased longevity to new heights by surviving a nuclear blast inside a refrigerator. This scene in particular has earned plenty of eye rolls from fans.
If you can believe that a small amount of water can heal bullet wounds, why not believe a swallow of water can help you survive a nuclear blast as long as you have adequate covering. You can safely assume that the water from the Holy Grail at least extended Indy's life by making him slightly more resilient.
The fan theory, however, does not answer some other questions about Indy's life. It wasn't until the third film that he drinks from the Grail — so what about the unlikely scenarios that happened to Indy in the first two films?
It's probably safe to assume that Indiana Jones is no ordinary man — Grail powers or no Grail powers.
A full discussion of the theory can be found on Reddit.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is a Lego-themed action-adventurevideo game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts. It is the sequel to the 2008 game, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. The game allows players to play all four cinematic adventures,[1] including the latest film in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which was not included in the previous game. Despite being tagged as a sequel, the game contains newly designed levels for all four movies. The game is available on the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.[2][3] The Mac OS X version of the game was released on 2 April 2011 by Feral Interactive.[4]
Gameplay[edit]
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues lets the player control a Lego figure in areas related to movie scenes and situations. Each movie is broken down into five levels, with the exception of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which was divided into three five level parts. The movies would also include a level that would have the player defeat a certain number of various enemies to complete the level. The vehicle levels involved the player using their vehicle to destroy enemy vehicles. The last level of each movie would consist of a major boss battle, where the player would need to defeat the movies' main antagonist. All versions of Lego Indiana Jones 2 include a level creator where players can create their own levels and objects. Two-player co-op mode has been enhanced with split-screen; rather than forcing both characters to always be close enough to fit on the same screen, the game will seamlessly split when characters wander apart and merge into one screen when both players are near each other. The hub has also been redesigned; where before each hub was a small area with easy access to levels which had been unlocked, now each hub is a large area in which entrances to levels must be discovered.
This game has Trophy support on the PlayStation 3 version and on 23 November 2009, LucasArts revealed on Twitter that it was working on a patch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game which has enabled online co-op gameplay, but was never finished.[5]
Plot[edit]
The game closely follows the plot of the four Indiana Jones films, namely Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, with some modifications, to fit the Lego style humor and 2 player co-op gameplay. Each of the four film has a hub world, with 5 story mode levels each (that follow the plot of the movie itself), 5 treasure mode levels (that take place in the same area as each of the story levels, but in the aftermath of the story's events; the goal here is to find a way to collect a treasure hidden somewhere in the level), 5 bonus levels (where the players take control of Indiana and another random character in a level similar to those that can be created in the level creator; the goal is once again to make it to the end of the level and collect a treasure), and 1 super bonus level (which is unlocked by completing all treasure mode and bonus levels in a hub). Each hub acts as a mini-open world, where the player can unlock new characters, vehicles or complete short races and other challenges.
The plot of the first three films has been significantly shortened compared to Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, as the focus is mostly on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (because it was absent from the previous game). Thus, whereas the first three films have only one hub with 5 story levels each, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has three separate hubs, totalling 15 story levels.
The game begins with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Part 1, which follows the first act of the movie (until Indiana and Mutt depart to Peru to find the titular Crystal Skull). Afterwards, the player can choose to play any of the other five hubs: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Part 2 or Part 3.
Reception[edit]
The game generally received mixed reviews.GameTrailers gave the game a score of 7.0, citing it as more repetitive than previous titles and criticizing a lack of online features to complement the co-op and level editor modes. They also criticized the fact that half the game was based on 'the worst movie in the series.'[6] However, GameSpot suggests that the 'roll-your-eyes nature of the film' finds a much better fit in the Lego game adaptation, giving the game an 8.0 overall.[7]IGN gave the game 6.0, citing the lack of secrets in the main levels as well as the new hub worlds being a mess, but praised the soundtrack and lasting appeal.[8]Kotaku, however, says the game delivers on many levels and recommends it over the first game. It is also criticized for not staying onto the details of the movies, a feature that was present in its predecessor.[9] As of May 2012, the game has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.[citation needed]
