1 - It has Russians! And not just any Russians, but KGB Spetsnaz GRU infiltrators (including a colonel!). Stalin's been busy continuing with the mass search for powerful artifacts that Hitler had ordered back in the first and second Indy movie.
2 - Harrison Ford may be in his late 50s, but at least he doesn't let his age slow Indiana down. Indy is still the ass-kicking, physically robust archaeologist that he was in the 30s.
3 - Returning characters! I won't say specifically who, but some return only as memories while others come back with major surprises for Indy.
4 - Incredibly long fight scenes. One scene must have spread over three different areas, killed off many Soviet extras, and lasted over 20 minutes!
5 - The ability to pull off a decent Indy movie twenty years later. Mind you that it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good. Indy was not some old cripple and managed to star in almost every scene, as opposed to a specific younger actor taking the spotlight. The storyline was pretty good too and tied many different legends (both modern and ancient) together with a very interesting plot twist at the end.
