I didn't even know he was dead! I feel awful! I agree with what someone said,I thought knocking the head off the statue was distasteful.Even more now I know he's dead.

Everyone should keep in mind that Elliott loved to overact. He was a ham. He may have done little things that really brought it to flourish. Also, Brody is portrayed much like he was in Raider111cs until he is left on his own. It seemed to me that Brody wanted desperately to have the adventure "I'll tell him we'll take two", without realizing how unsuited he was to actually go. I saw nothing wrong with his part, and Elliott seemed to enjoy it, so that's all that matters.

Yea, instead they decided to desecrate the character by knocking his head off the statue. Freaking unacceptable. Honestly, I'm not even one to complain about something stupid like that, but the new Indy pissed me off so much that it doesn't even have the clout to be able to knock the head off of Brody's statue.

Since they used so much CGI in Crystal Skull, they could have easily made an CGI Brody.

"Aider of our rececitation!"

• Funniest line in TLC between Connery and Elliot.
  Took me a while to figure out what they were saying, though.

"I wonder if he will be referred to in the fourth Indiana Jones film"
He is! It's fitting and nicely done too, I won't spoil it

He will be referred to. A portrait of him will hang in the museum and there's also something called 'Brody Barbershop'

"I wonder if he will be referred to in the fourth Indiana Jones film"
That's quite feasible. Spielberg and Lucas obviously had quite a regard for the actor and the character by bringing him back for The Last Crusade.

Just because he thinks he would do well looking for the ark doesn't mean he'd do well at all in the field. He mentions in "Last Crusade" that he speaks ancient Greek. As a young man he probably spent time excavating ruins in Greece, but not fighting Nazis and shooting people.

Yeah he's great!!

Personally, I thought Elliot stole the movie away from the leads - no small feat, given he was playing opposite 2 of the biggest stars in history in iconic roles!

^ This man speaks the truth. He was a man of books. Indy was the man to get out and do the dirty work.

hmmmi actually like what they did to marcus in TLC :D! as for him being somewhat bumbling and "stupid", perhaps it was because he wasn't in his "environment".
marcus is "scholarly" guy who prefers to stay inside the walls of his museum. so you can just imagine how "new" it was for him to be shoved into the action and dangers of the outside world. but as you can see, whenever they talk about the powers of the grail, marcus'5b4 mature and intelligent side shines through :)!
btw, I MISS DENHOLM ELLIOT!!! i sooo had a crush on him.

I didn't like how they made Brody into a bumbling idiot in "The Last Crusade". I know the 3rd film was trying to be lighter and more comedic, but Marcus Brody was presented as a serious, mature gentleman in the 1st film. Then in TLC he was a fool.
