Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Part of the charm of the Indiana Jones movies is their practical effects, like the melting Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the burning stones at the end of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. How did they do that?
Many critics have painstakingly listed the flaws of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, but one of the film’s silliest moments comes when Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) goes swinging through a jungle with monkeys. The terrible shot above is the best one we could find.
LaBeouf was unfortunate enough to rise to fame at the precise moment that excessive and often bad CGI was coming into fashion, notably in the Transformers franchise.
