1 The film begins with a flashback. We find Indiana and his friend, Basil, searching for another religious artifact. What group are they up against, who are also trying to get their hands on the artifact?
Answer: the Nazis

As in two of the previous movies, Indiana is trying to keep the artifact, with its believed powers, out of the hands of the Nazis who are trying to get hold of it for Hitler.
In "Raiders of the Lost Ark" it is the Ark of the Covenant that is sought and in "The Last Crusade" it is the Holy Grail. In "The Dial of Destiny" the object being sought is the Lance of Longinus, which is also known as the Spear of Destiny.
In the movies, Hitler's representatives talk about how Hitler believes that possession of these items will make his armies invincible.
Basil was played by Toby Jones.

These scenes were set during WWII and both Harrison Ford (who plays Indiana) and Mads Mikkelsen (who plays Dr. Jurgen Voller) are made to appear younger by CGI.

3 As "Raiders of the Lost Ark" opens, Indiana Jones is searching for an idol. When he locates it, he is hesitant to approach it. Indy's assistant says "Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here." What is Indiana's timorous reply?
Answer: "That's what scares me."

The movie opens as Indiana tries to recover a Hovito idol with two assistants (though only one enters the temple with him). Indy locates the right place, but must navigate through skeletons and deadly traps all along the way. When Indiana and his assistant reach the room with the idol in it, the room is empty and innocuous-looking. However, Indiana ignores the impatience of his assistant, and avoids a gruesome death by booby trap. Despite Indiana's clever switch of the idol with a sandbag, the temple begins to crash down around their ears. Even worse, Indiana's enemy Belloq is waiting at the temple entrance to relieve Indiana of his prize.

11 When Marion tells Indiana "You're not the man I knew ten years ago," Indy replies, "It's not the years, honey; it's the _________." What distance-describing word completes this quote?
Answer: mileage

Marion and Indiana renew their relationship during their quest for the Ark of the Covenant, but it is clear that much has changed since they first met. It is not simply a question of ten years having elapsed. Marion implies that Indiana broke her heart when he left her, and that she is now a woman who knows who she is and what she is doing. Similarly, Indiana has matured greatly, though his growing up was achieved through adventure and danger rather than betrayal and abandonment. This quote really sums up the changes that both characters have gone through.

Answer: "Only on special occasions."

This banter between Indiana and Lao Che, together with Willie's performance, sets the stage for the sour business deal that is about to occur. The exchange reveals that deceit and secrecy are parts of their business relationship. However, while Indiana seems quite prepared for Lao Che to try to cheat him out of his reward and then take the diamond back by force, he clearly does not anticipate a poisoned drink (a mistake he probably never repeats again). Fortunately, Indiana manages to escape with the help of his juvenile sidekick despite the loss of one of his friends.

30 After Voller and his thugs take the Antikythera, Indy once more finds himself in a chase, this time through the streets of Tangiers in Morocco. What vehicle is Indy driving, or is a passenger in, for most of the chase?
Answer: a tuk-tuk

A tuk-tuk is like a rickshaw with a motor, and is used in various places throughout Asia and, presumably, in Tangiers. It has three wheels and is partially covered against the sun and the rain. At one point, when the tuk-tuk has broken down, Indy mentions being stuck with a broken tuk-tuk.
Voller and crew escape with the Antikythera, with Indy, Helena and Teddy (Helena's young friend) in pursuit. They steal a tuk-tuk and use it to good result. Indy makes turns opposite to what is suggested by the local Teddy but manages to find a short cut to the escaping Nazis. All goes well until a bullet pierces the radiator, bringing the tuk-tuk to a halt. Indy adds water and uses Teddy's gum to block the hole, making the tuk-tuk usable once more.
At one point Helena and Teddy steal a second tuk-tuk but Indy chases them in his, and manages to transfer into their tuk-tuk.

33 Just as Indiana Jones is about to finish off the antagonist in "Temple of Doom," he speaks the following words: "Mola Ram! Prepare to meet ________ ..." To what Hindu god does Indiana want to send Mola Ram?
Answer: Kali

Indiana mentions Kali as someone Mola Ram will meet in the afterlife because she is the goddess whom Mola Ram and the Thuggee cult worship. Kali is often portrayed as an evil goddess, particularly in film, but she can also be viewed as the protector of mothers. It is not the worship of Kali that makes Mola Ram's cult evil in the movie but the human sacrifices they make to her. Shiva, the god worshiped by the local townspeople in "Indiana Jones", is actually Kali's consort.

39 The chase through Tangiers involves three groups. Indy, Helena and Teddy are in pursuit of Voller and his Nazi thugs. Aziz Rahim and his thugs are in pursuit of Indy and friends. Who is Aziz?
Answer: Helena's ex-fiancé

The hotel where the auction is held is owned by Aziz Rahim's father, a known gangster. He lets his son know that she is there. Apparently Helena was engaged to Aziz at one point and, during the pursuit, he alternates between wanting her back and being furious with her. He even says that he supposes she sold the ring and she replies that it didn't fetch as much as she thought it would.
They are taken out of the pursuit when they follow the tuk-tuk down an alley that gradually narrows, eventually becoming too narrow for their car, which becomes stuck.
Alaa Safi plays Aziz Rahim.

40 What does Helena want to do with the piece of the Antikythera?
Answer: sell it

Indy tracks her down to a private function where she is auctioning off the piece. She tries to have him thrown out but Voller and crew show up and take possession of the piece.
At one point Indy asks her what she would do with it and she says 'sell it' because the only thing she believes in is money.
She asks Indy the same question and he says that he would stop his son from enlisting, thereby saving his life. That gives Helena pause.

Helena has acquired a friend who she calls Teddy. He is much like Short Round was to Indy in "Temple of Doom", only perhaps a little older. Despite claiming to be all about money, it is obvious that Helena really cares for Teddy and the bad guys later use this against her.
Teddy is played by Ethan Isidore.
